The first man to approach stepped forward and threw a punch straight at Xia Liang's face.
However, Xia Liang paid the attack no mind. He was more worried about accidentally killing the man with a single blow.
Xia Liang sidestepped and used his Taichi Skill to wrap around the man's arm, dissipating the force of the punch.
BANG!
He followed up with a Taichi Cannon Hammer to the man's back, smashing him flat on the ground. He didn't get up again.
Though the man looked imposing, his fighting prowess was nothing to Xia Liang—it was a one-move affair.
The two men lagging behind realized their opponent was no easy target. They exchanged a look and charged toward Xia Liang at the same time.
Seeing enemies approaching from his left and right, Xia Liang sank into a horse stance and swept his hands out, entangling the punching arms of both men.
He struck the man on the left with his elbow.
BANG!
PFFT!
As the saying goes, three punches are no match for one elbow. The strike landed squarely on the man's chest, causing him to spurt a mouthful of blood.
As for the enemy on the right, Xia Liang withdrew his elbow and pushed out his palm, using the man's own momentum combined with his own formidable strength…
WHOOSH! BANG!
The man flew seven or eight meters, sliding another two meters after hitting the ground before coming to a complete, motionless stop.
It all happened in the blink of an eye, a mere twenty seconds having passed.
This stunned not only the two women inside the car and the passersby filming with their phones, but also the kidnapper driver. Sensing trouble, he had gotten out of the car with a dagger, but now he began to shrink back in fear.
"You, you stay back! This blade is sharp! If you know what's good for you, get out of the way and let us brothers pass!" he threatened.
Without wasting words, Xia Liang moved forward, seized the wrist holding the dagger, and brutally slammed the man's head against the roof of the Volvo.
THWACK!
The man collapsed to the ground, out for the count.
Xia Liang lifted Little Tangtang out of the car. She was a delicate little girl, around five or six years old, and she showed no signs of waking up even when he moved her.
Xia Liang noticed her rosy cheeks and steady breath. She must have been drugged, but she didn't seem to be in any serious danger.
"Tangtang, Tangtang, what's wrong? Brother Xia, what's wrong with Little Tangtang? Why isn't she moving?"
Seeing the danger was over, the two women got out of the car. When they called out to Little Tangtang and got no response, Wen Qiong burst into tears.
"She should be fine, she just passed out. Call an ambulance and take her to the hospital for a check-up. It shouldn't be a big deal," Xia Liang reassured her, handing the little girl to Wen Qiong.
Only then did the surrounding crowd begin to comprehend what had happened. Many of them were passengers whose cars had been stopped by Xia Liang's spectacular drift, prompting them to get out. At first, they thought it was just an accident and began filming with their phones. But what unfolded was Xia Liang's one-man show of force, culminating in the rescue of a little girl. The onlookers were finally able to piece together the situation.
"Hey, Brother, I heard them say a little girl was kidnapped," a passenger called out.
With around a dozen cars stopped at the intersection, Xia Liang pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He offered them around, even though he didn't smoke himself—it was just something he always carried.
"Yeah, sorry for the trouble, everyone. It's all taken care of now," he said.
"Trouble? Nah! There were human traffickers right next to me and I didn't even know it. As long as the kid is safe, that's all that matters," someone replied.
"They were too crafty," Xia Liang explained. "Luckily, one of my guys saw them switching cars, which is how I tracked them down. Anyway, I'll stop holding you all up. I'm going to move my car so you can all get through."
He waved to the crowd, returned to his car, started the engine, and stepped on the gas, driving the three others to the hospital.
Although Xia Liang made a swift departure, his deeds became the stuff of legend.
Unsurprisingly, thanks to the System, the incident didn't attract any special attention. Despite his incredibly flashy maneuvers—which included a series of traffic violations—and the subsequent brawl that left his attackers seriously injured, everything seemed to have nothing to do with Xia Liang.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Xia Liang was unaware that a cyber storm centering on him was once again brewing online.

"Hey, beautiful, did you hear? One of our Didi drivers was just doing over 240 km/h on the Third Ring Road and caught a few human traffickers. The guy's skills were insanely good!"
"No way! You've got to be pulling my leg."
"Pulling your leg? Look, I've got pictures and video proof. Check it out yourself and then tell me if I'm full of it."
"Wow, it's real! Hey, handsome, I work in social media. Could you send these files to me?"
"Of course! Here, add me on WeChat and I'll send them over."
Soon, the beautiful passenger who had taken the Didi got the material she needed for her article and asked about some of the details.
The Didi driver, in turn, got to add a beautiful woman on WeChat. For an eloquent driver like him, getting a woman who was willing to chat on WeChat meant that taking things to the next level was only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, with a doctor's help, Little Tangtang finally regained consciousness.
"Thank you, Brother Xia."
Looking at the delicate little loli before him, Xia Liang gently patted her head.
"No problem."
He escorted Wen Qiong to her door. She looked at him with profound gratitude, and after a long moment, she finally managed to utter a simple, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xia Liang waved it off.
He started the car, preparing to leave, when Little Tangtang waved at him.
"Brother Xia, come visit often, okay?"
"Sure thing!" Xia Liang readily agreed.
