"Princess Xiu Xue?"

Qin Luo was stunned for a moment, then spoke up, "No way. If Princess Xiu Xue wanted something from me, she'd contact me herself."

Qin Luo owed a favor to Princess Phoenix and had never had the chance to repay it.

After all, a single word from the princess could change many people's destinies, but ordinary people had few opportunities to help her.

Qin Luo could only treat illness and save lives, leaving this domain...

It was even harder for him to help Princess Phoenix with anything.

For example, when Princess Phoenix was labeled a 'traitor princess' by the Empire, he could only register a dummy account to secretly curse a few times online...

He couldn't even publicly express support for the princess.

Articles would be deleted, people would be erased.

Could the Shen Family not deal with Tang Fei, but couldn't handle a doctor who couldn't even truss a chicken?

"Alright, I might as well be honest, you have been kidnapped." Tang Fei pretended to be vicious.

He indeed had the plea for help letter Phoenix wrote to Doctor Qin Luo in his pocket, but now was not the time to take it out and show him.

After healing the old man, Doctor Qin Luo might return to work and live in Phoenix City.

If he showed Phoenix's letter in front of others, it would be tantamount to implicating Doctor Qin Luo.

Isn't this aligning with the 'bandits'?

Unless both witnesses were killed.

However, Doctor Qin Luo brought them when going out for medical treatment, indicating they were trusted colleagues or friends.

Obviously, killing was not Doctor Qin Luo's intention.

Tang Fei was not a selfish person; he couldn't completely ruin Doctor Qin Luo's life.

Other people's harm wouldn't be blamed on him.

"Kidnapped?"

Zhang Pan screamed sharply.

I should be under the car, I shouldn't be in the car.

Watching how sweet you both are...

No, I shouldn't have come on this trip.

Zhang Pan initially just wanted to use Doctor Qin Luo to connect with the Shi Family for a familiar face...

What a simple thought, how did it lead to encountering robbers?

Moreover, from the sounds of it, the robbers were after Doctor Qin... fortunately not after him.

Thinking of this, why was there an inexplicable sense of loss?

He was also a famous graduate of the Imperial Royal Medical University, the same alma mater as Doctor Qin Luo...

"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Tang Fei said crossly, "There are only three of us in the car, I can hear you just fine if you speak quietly. Do you have any self-awareness as a hostage?"

Zhang Pan wisely lowered his voice and whispered, "Why... why are you kidnapping Doctor Qin?"

"Naturally to cure illness and save lives. What else, to film a movie?"

"Where are you going to take Doctor Qin?"

"Do you think I should file an application report for you?" Tang Fei mocked.

I'm a kidnapper, not your subordinate.

Should I inform you before kidnapping someone? If you disagree, then I won't kidnap them?

Idiot!

"..."

Zhang Pan found himself at a loss for words.

This person had such a venomous tongue.

It made one's chest rise and fall, simply furious.

After leaving the Shi Family Mansion's sight, Tang Fei immediately lowered the height of the Flying Car, racing along the Coastal Highway.

The cold at high altitudes was unbearable and made it easier to expose their target.

If someone shot a missile over, they could only jump from the car to escape... what would happen to Doctor Qin Luo?

Considering how much Shen Wuxiang 'valued' him, they wouldn't be sparing a few missiles or doctors for collateral.

What was needed was Doctor Qin Luo's medical skills, not his corpse.

The Flying Car didn't head toward the brightly lit main city of Phoenix City, but instead drove toward the dimly lit Deep Sea area of the South Sea.

Qin Luo felt uneasy about the road conditions and asked, "Where are you taking us?"

He didn't know this person and didn't believe the 'lies' of Princess Xiu Xue inviting him...

If Princess Xiu Xue wanted to find him, she would surely send reliable people over secretly.

How could she find such a fool and 'kidnap' him in front of everyone?

Afraid the commotion wasn't loud enough, and others wouldn't know?

"It's not certain yet." Tang Fei replied calmly, sounding more like a chartered pilot than a kidnapper, "Let's first see how far we can go."

"Well..."

Zhang Pan originally wanted Tang Fei to let him down since they wanted Doctor Qin Luo.

But he held back the words.

He knew it wasn't realistic; if the robbers let him down, wouldn't it expose their whereabouts?

Besides, doing so would make him as the dean seem cowardly and irresponsible, causing Doctor Qin and the assistant to look down on him.

But he was really scared.

"When will we be able to come back? There are still many official duties in the hospital to handle... If we stay away too long, the hospital will notice something's wrong and call the police." Zhang Pan deliberately added some psychological pressure in his words to Tang Fei.

You better bring us back safely soon, or the police will come knocking.

"Don't worry." Tang Fei consoled, "If we can't come back, then we won't."

"..."

Zhang Pan.

Listen to this, is it human speech?

This time, it was Doctor Qin Luo's turn to be unable to sit still. He looked at Tang Fei and said gravely, "You're after me, I'll go with you... just let them go."

"If you harm them, I would rather die than cure illnesses and save lives for you."

"Don't worry," Tang Fei continued to reassure, "I'll release them when we reach a suitable place; I hadn't intended to bring two burdens along originally."

"..."

Zhang Pan and the little assistant's faces turned alternately pale and flushed.

The crisis was resolved, so why couldn't they feel even slightly relieved?

Tang Fei followed the navigation on his phone and drove the car to the northwest corner of Moon Island.

The crescent moon curved, waves crashed against the shore.

At the rocky coastline's edge, a dark-colored small boat was moored.

The small boat blended with the rocks, indistinguishable unless looked at closely.

Tang Fei rolled down the car window and made a sound like a seabird's call.

'Goo goo goo...'

From the small boat, someone answered with the same seabird call.

Two dark figures emerged from the dense woods nearby, appearing beside the car like lightning.

"Lord," murmured a young man in black, bowing lightly, while the other kept a vigilant watch outside.

They were the Ghost team members assigned to guard this spot.

"Everything alright?" Tang Fei asked aloud.

"All smooth," reported Wang Zhong, a Ghost team member.

Only then did Tang Fei push open the car door and get out. He looked at Zhang Pan and the assistant and said, "You two can go back."

"Thank you, thank you," Zhang Pan expressed his gratitude.

He anxiously turned to Qin Luo, asking, "When will Doctor Qin be back?"

"If you're worried, why not leave together?"

"No need, no need..." Dean Zhang waved his hands, saying, "There are many things at the hospital I need to handle."

"Since you don't want to, then hurry up and leave," Tang Fei said.

"Alright," Dean Zhang nodded repeatedly, running over to open the car door, "Then we're heading back first."

"Who told you to drive?" Tang Fei looked at Zhang Pan, saying, "Didn't you hear what I said? I told you to hurry up and leave."

"Leave... go back?"

Zhang Pan and the assistant were troubled, their faces twisted as if constipated.

This was the edge of the island, an uninhabitable place.

It took them half a day to drive here, how long would it take to walk back?

"Oh, right. Remove all their communication devices," Tang Fei instructed.

"Yes," Wang Zhong immediately stepped forward, dismantling the phones from their wrists and removing all electronic devices on them.

Even the assistant's headphones used for listening to music were not spared.

The other Ghost team member took the medical kit the assistant was holding; it was Doctor Qin Luo's treasure and shouldn't be damaged.

Might come in handy in the Barren Land.

"Alright, off you go," Tang Fei waved his hand, evidently treating them as 'burdens.'

Zhang Pan and the assistant exchanged a glance, tears welling up.

Though feeling aggrieved, they dared not bargain with the bandits.

After all, being let off the hook was already a sign of a remaining conscience.

The South Sea is so vast; who would care if a few bodies sank?

Both gritted their teeth and turned to walk back the way they came.

"Doctor Qin, shall we also go?" Tang Fei gestured invitingly.

Qin Luo knew he couldn't resist and stepped toward the small boat swaying in the waves.

If he resisted, Zhang Pan and the assistant probably wouldn't be able to leave either...

Just then, several strong lights suddenly appeared on the vast sea, blinding everyone.

Even Zhang Pan and the assistant, who had just taken a few steps, heard the commotion behind them, turning back in terror as the swiftly approaching speedboats charged forward.

More than a dozen vessels formed a fan shape, tightly locking the small boat in the center.

Behind them, countless dark shadows zipped through the dense forest, surrounding them.

These people, holding large swords, moved swiftly; each was a Cultivator.

They were surrounded.

Moreover, it was a trap set by the opposing side.

The vessels halted a dozen meters away from the small boat. The leader, tall with hair wildly blown by the sea breeze, shouted, brandishing an ancient and sturdy Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, "Tang Fei, how do you like our 'Invite the Tiger into the Den' trick?".

Overlord Saber, Zhao Wuji.

Tang Fei?

Qin Luo looked over thoughtfully. He knew Tang Fei and had performed surgery and treated him...

Now, hearing him claim to be entrusted by Princess Phoenix to take him somewhere was completely plausible.

After all, this was the person Phoenix trusted most.

Back at the Imperial Maritime Hospital, he had seen that something was off between these two.

They were a pair.

Zhang Pan and the assistant's pupils dilated, utterly shocked.

Was this bearded man Tang Fei? Bandit leader Tang Fei?

Oh no, oh no.

Our bodies are tainted.

Having had contact with this person, our lives are ruined.

Saying we were coerced will probably convince no one.

Their hearts began to sink, sinking lower and lower.
