"A gunshot wound is no big deal."

"Lady, what do you think this is, a 'Thanks for Playing' prize from a bottle cap? This is a gunshot wound! Give me some kind of reaction, will you?"

Hard to tell, but this woman is genuinely tough. Even with special training, it's impossible to not even frown like this.

After bursting out onto Victory Avenue, only Rainbow Bridge and two city blocks remained before Qingyun Hospital. As long as he got Big Wave to her destination, he believed the pursuers wouldn't bother with a mere ride-share driver.

But then, another problem arose.

When they were just a few dozen meters from Rainbow Bridge, two large trucks and a bus appeared up ahead, completely sealing off the road. There was no chance of overtaking them.

"How about... you get out here and walk a little? We're almost there anyway." Xia Liang put on a friendly smile.

Big Wave shot him an indifferent glance. "Kicking a passenger out before we reach the destination?"

"Then what do you suggest? The pursuers will be on us any second, and we can't get through up there."

"With your driving skills, I refuse to believe you don't have some trick up your sleeve."

"Where are you getting this confidence from? Even I'm not so sure."

"Heh. From your calm reaction in the face of crisis and your driving skills that even professional racers would find hard to match."

Xia Liang felt somewhat helpless. Sometimes, being too outstanding is a mistake in itself.

CRASH—

An Audi had caught up. The impact sent the already battered bumper flying off the car completely.

"Since you're insisting, hold on tight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Liang wrenched the steering wheel to the right and accelerated sharply. The engine's roar was like the howl of a wild beast.

BOOM—

"You maniac! There's a river on both sides, where can you possibly go?"

"You've hit a dead end!"

The mocking voices of the pursuers were relentless, but in the next instant, their pupils contracted sharply.

The black BMW's right-side wheels climbed onto the rising iron support beam alongside Rainbow Bridge.

"Hey, hey, hey—you're not thinking of—"

Before Big Wave could finish, Xia Liang shot her a look that said, *'You know exactly what I'm thinking.'*

The extreme speed sent the BMW flying into the air as it began to flip sideways to the left. At that moment, with countless eyes fixed upon it, the BMW pulled off a god-tier stunt.

After a full 360-degree rotation in mid-air, it soared over several smaller cars, its tires scraping against the roof of a large truck before it landed back on the road. Sparks flew as its tail slammed against the pavement.

"Holy crap!"

"Is that guy a professional race car driver?"

"No way, even a pro couldn't pull that off! He must be from some stunt team."

"Damn! I'm completely floored! Is he Hayato Kazami or something?!"

"A 360-degree aerial spin... that had to be pure luck! Wasn't he scared of flipping into the river?"

"Succeed and you're a king; fail and you're headed for the crematorium. All I saw was his success."

The viewership on major platforms skyrocketed to an all-time peak. The hostess on the traditional television broadcast was so stunned she forgot to report, stammering for a long time without being able to form a coherent sentence.

The pursuers in the Audis behind never imagined the BMW would attempt a barrel roll. A moment's thought was enough to know how ridiculously low the success rate of such a death-defying maneuver was. Besides, by the time they snapped out of their stupor, they had already missed their chance to follow. All they could do was honk their horns frantically behind the trucks.

"Retreat." After they reported in, the pursuers' radios crackled with the latest command. Several cars immediately smashed through the roadside barrier and plunged into the river, sinking beneath the bubbling surface.

The police tailing them were still gawking at the BMW's incredible driving when they witnessed the bizarre maneuver of the Audis. For a moment, they were torn between trying to fish the cars out of the river and continuing the chase.

Outside the emergency department of Qingyun City Hospital, the nurses and patients heard a series of urgent, screeching tires.

SCREECH—

They looked up to see an old, black BMW executing a perfect drift, stopping neatly between two ambulances with less than five centimeters of clearance in the front and back.

Big Wave pushed the door open. "Wait for me a moment. I'll be right out after I deliver this. Then you can take me somewhere else."

At the same time, a notification sounded in Xia Liang's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission. Mission Rewards: 1 Enhanced Huiteng (Value: 10 Yuan), 1 Limited Edition Kawasaki Black Warrior, 40 Global Limited Edition Work Value, and 1 Iron Cloth Shirt.]

Hmm? Looking at the rewards, and considering what Big Wave said... is there another mission?

"It's not over? Weren't you shot? It should take some time to get that bullet out, right?"

"I'm not getting it removed here. Just wait for me. And remember, if anyone tries to make you leave, just refuse them."

Xia Liang nodded to show he understood.

A hidden mission would be perfect.

He leaned back, admiring the crescent moon in the sky.

She doesn't look like she's from some evil organization. Xia Liang glanced at her profile. So she is a special agent? The System hasn't given any prompts, which must mean the mission isn't over yet.

Just as Xia Liang was contemplating this, the air was filled with a familiar sound.

WEE-WOO~ WEE-WOO~

The shrill wail of police sirens grew closer and closer. A massive convoy of dozens of police cars, intermixed with armored vehicles from a special response team, sped toward the hospital. The crowd at the emergency department entrance ducked their heads in fear, assuming there was a bomb threat.

"Driver of the black BMW, do not move! You are surrounded! Surrender immediately!"

"Driver of the black BMW..."

Xia Liang smiled as he looked at the heavily armed police force. He held up his hands and said with a grin, "Everyone, relax. I'm just a ride-share driver."

The police didn't care if he was a ride-share driver or not. He had run more than ten red lights, hit speeds over 280 km/h in a busy downtown area, taunted police on motorcycles, and engaged in a shootout on a major avenue. His behavior was utterly insane.

A normal person couldn't pull off a 360-degree barrel roll in a BMW on a bridge.

And he called himself a ride-share driver?
