Chapter 556

"What about him?" Xia He looked at the taxi driver.

"Ignore him. We'll call the police later," Ning Chen replied.

"My friend is a police officer!" Xia He pointed excitedly at Tang Xin.

Ning Chen looked at Xia He and said: "But we still have to wait until she recovers before she can handle the case."

"Get in."

Saying this.

Ning Chen first helped Xia He walk to the taxi, then supported Tang Xin, step by step, into the back seat.

Because they feared causing secondary injury, their movements were extremely careful.

Taking advantage of this contact.

Ning Chen activated his Super Recovery skill.

Soon.

In Ning Chen's perception, Super Recovery had taken effect within her body.

404. Concealment

As Ning Chen activated his Super Recovery ability.

In his perception, he could clearly "see" Tang Xin's internal condition.

Inside, there was a great deal of blood, and some areas had already been severed.

Even a small section of her rib had broken.

For such a condition.

Ning Chen himself did not know how to repair it, but Super Recovery worked automatically.

It did not require the host to possess medical knowledge.

Soon.

Ning Chen "saw" the emerald-green light spread across Tang Xin's abdomen, and even a faint green glow seeped through her skin.

The internal injuries were healing at an extremely rapid pace.

Large-scale damage was restored as quickly as building a bridge.

Some cases were more difficult, such as the fractured rib.

The green glow first gathered entirely over the broken rib, then reattached the severed segment.

This green glow acted like an adhesive—with no side effects whatsoever.

But.

This recovery could not continue indefinitely.

If it could fully restore Tang Xin's injuries, it wouldn't be called Super Recovery—it would be called Super Healing.

Even so.

Tang Xin's condition had improved significantly, and it even forced out the stagnant blood inside her.

All that could be seen was...

Tang Xin, sitting in the back seat, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

This sight terrified Xia He, who immediately supported Tang Xin and asked: "Tang Xin, are you okay? How do you feel now?"

Tang Xin breathed heavily, waved her hand, and said: "I'm fine—much better than before."

"Really? Don't you dare lie to me! I've watched so many TV dramas—people always pretend they're fine, then collapse after the danger passes!" Xia He anxiously said.

"She's fine, don't worry. What she coughed up was stagnant blood—it's good for her," Ning Chen said, driving the taxi toward the brightly lit road.

"Good! Then I'm relieved!" Xia He exhaled deeply, finally relaxing from the earlier tension.

Xia He rubbed her leg and complained: "What bad luck! We actually ran into something like this!"

"Yes! If it weren't for this benefactor's help, we'd have been finished," Tang Xin sighed. "We'd heard at the police station that Xia Dao might have a psychotic killer—recently, many people have gone missing. I never thought it was real."

"A psychotic killer? Just now?" Xia He asked.

"Yes!" Tang Xin nodded. "It's considered a major case at our station!"

"He did look like a real psycho," Xia He nodded firmly.

Ning Chen, still driving, warned: "I suggest you go check under that bridge after you return to the station. There are probably a lot of bodies there."

"What!" Tang Xin's eyes widened. "You mean the whole bridge is full of dead people?!"

Hearing Tang Xin's words.

Xia He's expression turned fearful.

If that were true, then the bridge might as well be a bridge of death.

Like a Naihe Bridge.

Ning Chen glanced at the two through the rearview mirror and said: "Take a police dog to investigate. The rest is none of my business."

Tang Xin and Xia He exchanged a glance, then both broke out in goosebumps.

"By the way, I wanted to ask earlier," Ning Chen looked at the car, his expression slightly awkward. "What's this smell in the car?"

One sentence.

Made Tang Xin's face flush red.

Xia He burst into laughter—but the laugh pulled at her leg wound, causing her pain and forcing her to stop.

"It's fine. You don't have to answer," Ning Chen saw their expressions and immediately understood.

His perception didn't manifest in this area, but to Ning Chen, this smell was all too familiar.

"Thank you!" Tang Xin said gratefully. She had never been so humiliated in her life—thankfully, Ning Chen was understanding; otherwise, it would have been utterly embarrassing.

Ning Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly, and soon drove onto a well-lit road, then asked: "Does either of you know how to get to the hospital?"

"I know, I know!" Xia He said with the air of a student answering a question, "Let me direct the way!"

"Sure!" Ning Chen nodded. "Wherever you say to go, we'll go."

Hearing Ning Chen trust him so completely.

Xia He said with satisfaction, "Just keep driving straight. Once we reach a bus stop sign, turn left."

"Okay." Ning Chen nodded.

Soon.

The taxi drove smoothly onto the road.

After a while, the situation inside the car stabilized.

Xia He glanced at the rearview mirror, saw Ning Chen's face, then quietly leaned close to Tang Xin's ear and whispered, "Look, our benefactor is so handsome. He's god-tier, even better than those celebrities!"

Xia He's words piqued Tang Xin's interest. She also peeked quietly and saw Ning Chen's handsome features. "He really is handsome!"

"So? Hero saves the beauty! Don't you want to throw yourself at him?" Xia He joked.

Tang Xin shot Xia He a glance and said, "You should think about how to handle today's situation first!"

"Can you keep my involvement hidden?" Ning Chen looked at both of them and said, "I don't want to get involved."

As a police officer.

Tang Xin sat up straight and said, "No. You are an eyewitness at the scene, and you are the one who killed that taxi driver. Rest assured, this won't constitute a crime; it can only be considered self-defense. You don't need to feel guilty about killing someone, because he was a murderer!"

"At that time, the Jingju Society will reward you."

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in those things. I only want my identity kept hidden. You must cooperate with me on this point."

Regarding Ning Chen's request.

Tang Xin frowned, and only after a while did her expression relax. She nodded and said, "Alright then. I'll tell them that both Xia He and I were taken to the hospital by a masked man, and that he saved us. We didn't see his face or build at all; we have no information whatsoever."

"Thank you." Ning Chen said flatly.

Just as Tang Xin was about to speak, Xia He cut in, "We should be thanking you! Great benefactor!"

Xia He leaned closer and said, "What's your name? Let's be friends!"

Seeing Xia He's actions.

Tang Xin sighed helplessly. As this guy's long-time friend.

She naturally understood what Xia He was doing.

He must have taken a liking to the benefactor who saved him, which is why he was being so proactive.

But it was also reasonable.

A good-looking guy who also saved her.

Having a fondness for him was only natural.
