"Where did these kidnappers come from?" Liu Xing asked.

"I interrogated it just now, it's a group of local thugs in Tianjing City. Black Eagle said, "According to the kidnappers, someone spent a lot of money to kidnap four booksellers, these booksellers are all from Tianhai City, they are Liu Xing, the owner of the Meteor Book Bar, Li Ming, the owner of the Dawn Book Bar, Sun Jiang, the general manager of Bohai Book City, and Guo Cai, the owner of the Caizi Book Bar. ”

Liu Xing's brows furrowed slightly, the four booksellers that the kidnappers wanted to kidnap all had one thing in common: they were all new members of the Novel Street.

Two months ago, a total of 10 committee members were elected in Novel Street, and Liu Xing, Li Ming, Sun Jiang, and Guo Cai were among them.

The Reading Alliance will conduct a one-year evaluation of the 10 members, and after the evaluation, one member will be selected from the 10 members to serve as the new president of the novel street.

Now that four members have been kidnapped, it is likely that the other members are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate rivals.

"Which committee member is so ruthless and wants to get rid of the four committee members in one go?"

Liu Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Black Eagle, from now on, you will act separately and follow the other six committee members of the Novel Street, pay close attention to their every move, and be sure to find out who is doing the trick." ”

"Understood. ”

After explaining the matter, Liu Xing hid in the film bed to rest.

……

The next day was the day of the booksellers' conference.

The conference was organized by the Tianjing Booksellers Association, and the venue of the conference was arranged in the famous scenic spot of Tianjing City-Yushan.

Located on the north bank of the Yellow River, at an altitude of just over 400 meters, Yushan is not very beautiful, but it is one of the most famous mountains in Tianjing.

Because Fish Mountain is an artificially constructed mountain!

Today's bookseller exchange conference will be held at the summit of Yushan.

Seven o'clock in the morning. Liu Xing, Yuxin and more than 70 booksellers from Tianhai City came to Yushan in two buses, and after that, representatives of booksellers from all over the country arrived one after another.

Today is the first day of the General Assembly. The organizers held a large-scale book fair to showcase the gratifying achievements of the bookseller community this year. On the other hand, it gives booksellers from all over the world an opportunity to communicate with each other.

It was the first time for Liu Xing to participate in a bookseller exchange activity, but he was surprised to find that many booksellers from other places knew him.

The "Detective Wang Nan" series of books represented by Meteor Book Bar has not only become the sales champion in Tianhai City, but also ranks among the best in the entire Huaxia book market.

At the same time, the book team of Meteor Book Bar was the first to find the book coffin, and this news greatly increased the popularity of Meteor Book Bar and Liu Xing.

At today's event, many booksellers took the initiative to greet Liu Xing. Liu Xing did not refuse to come, and mingled with them.

Making more friends with booksellers is still very meaningful to Liu Xing. In order to enter the fairy tale novel. He needed to read novels of all genres, and these booksellers could help him.

The whole bookseller exchange lasted until the evening.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, after a dinner at the Yushan Hotel, the booksellers left Yushan one after another, and Liu Xing and Yuxin also got on a luxury bus provided by the organizer and prepared to return to the hotel.

On this bus, there were 42 booksellers, all of whom were from Tianhai City, including Guo Meiyu, the owner of Meijiayang Bookstore, and Huang Heping, the owner of Heping Bookstore.

The bus descends the mountain along the Yushan Road and descends to the bottom of the mountain. Then they drove into the Yellow River Bridge.

The Huangjiang Bridge spans the north and south banks of the Huangjiang River, with a length of nearly 5 kilometers, making it the longest bridge in Tianhai City.

Tenkyo City has a heavy rainstorm tonight. The Yellow River flooded, and the water level soared by 5 meters above usual.

Outside the car window, the rain was continuous, and the night was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything except the crackling of the rain.

After a day of tossing, the booksellers were tired and sat down in the seats of the buses to rest.

The bus traveled at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour on the Yellow River Bridge.

Rumble!

When driving to the middle of the bridge, suddenly. There was an explosion from the bottom of the bus, and the bus shook slightly.

"What sound?"

Everyone in the carriage was taken aback.

The driver of the bus realized that something was wrong. Hurriedly stepped on the brakes and prepared to stop the car. As a result, I unexpectedly found that the brakes failed!

The driver tried several times, but the bus continued to drive at high speed without any slowdown.

There's a curve ahead, and it's about to be crashed.

The driver hurriedly hit the steering wheel and tried to turn.

Unexpectedly, the steering wheel also failed, and the bus drove straight forward, hitting the fence of the bridge directly.

Rumble!!

With a loud bang, the body of the bus shook violently, and in a moment, the passengers in the carriage were shaken to the ground.

Before everyone could react, under the powerful impact, the bridge fence was directly broken, and the bus broke through the fence, broke away from the bridge deck, and fell towards the river more than 20 meters deep.

At the moment when the bus fell, there was screaming in the carriage, and everyone knew that there was an accident!

In the midst of the screams, the whole bus had already crossed a long arc in mid-air, and after falling more than 20 meters, it plunged headlong into the flooded Yellow River.

Boom!!

For a time, there was a huge splash on the surface of the Yellow River.

At the moment when the bus fell into the river, Liu Xing had already hugged Yuxin, who was seated, and secretly performed "The Great Shift of Qiankun" to unload ninety percent of his strength, and both of them were safe and sound.

The other passengers in the carriage were not so lucky, and many were injured by the violent impact.

However, this is only the beginning of the disaster.

After the bus fell into the river, it began to sink rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the whole vehicle completely submerged in the river and sank towards the bottom of the river little by little.

In the carriage, the passengers soon noticed that the river began to flow through some small crevices, and the water accumulated more and more, and before long, the water in the carriage was about 30 centimeters deep.

"What's wrong?"

"The bus fell into the river!"

"What now? We're not going to die here, are we?"

……

Seeing the river water constantly pouring into the carriage, the fear quickly spread in the carriage, and in the face of the sudden change, many passengers were at a loss and looked frightened.

In an instant. The water in the carriage was already more than a meter deep, and it was up to the waists of everyone.

Death seems to be approaching little by little!

"Don't panic, just smash the window. We'll get out of the car and swim up and we'll be fine!"

At this time, a male passenger found a small hammer. Slammed into one of the compartment's windows.

Bang!

After seven or eight rings, the glass was finally shattered, and a powerful stream of water instantly poured into the carriage, and the water level of the carriage accelerated to rise.

Booksellers began to flock to the smashed glass windows and scrambled to swim out of the carriages.

Everyone knows that time is of the essence now, and everyone desperately wants to leave early, so you fight for each other and push each other in the water. The scene was chaotic.

At the same time, the water level of the carriage had risen to a height of about 1.5 meters, and it had already flooded the chests of the people, and it was about to be completely submerged.

Seeing this, Yuxin was so frightened that her face turned pale, and just when she was panicking, Liu Xing comforted: "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine." By the way, you know how to swim?"

Yuxin shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll take you up ......"

That's all I said. The river had flooded the entire bus compartment, Liu Xing could only stop talking, and he reached out to hug Yuxin. Swimming to the bottom of the carriage, the internal force turned, and with a wave of his right palm, he hit the "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", which slapped heavily on the windshield of the rear compartment.

Boom!!!

The windshield was instantly shocked and flew out, and a big opening appeared in front of him, hugging Yuxin's waist, Liu Xing passed through the opening and swam out.

Just swam out of the car. Liu Xingcai realized that something was wrong with Yuxin in her arms, she may have never had the experience of staying in the water. I didn't adapt at all, and I was choked by the river for a while. As soon as I don't slip away, I have already drunk a small sip of river water, and I am about to lose control.

Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly pinched Yuxin's nose with one hand, put his mouth up, and directly held Yuxin's cherry lips, on the one hand, to help her breathe, and on the other hand, to prevent the river water from pouring into her mouth.

After being gagged by Liu Xing, Yuxin's mood gradually calmed down.

Without thinking too much, Liu Xing's body mentioned the internal force and began to swim upwards with Yuxin.

Liu Xing originally knew the key to holding his breath in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and he could not breathe for a long time in the water, but now that he and Yuxin were mouth to mouth, they couldn't hold their breath at all, and the oxygen of the two of them was rapidly consuming, and if it continued like this, they would suffocate to death sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing's legs flew violently in the water, and his body floated up as quickly as a rocket.

Wudang Tiyunzong!

After rising more than ten meters in a row, the two finally managed to surface the river.

"Ahem, ahem!"

As soon as she came out of the water, Yuxin coughed incessantly.

Before they could speak, the two of them had been swept away by the rolling river.

There was a torrential rain today, the water surface of the Yellow River soared, and the impact of the river was extremely powerful, Liu Xing and Yuxin's bodies were completely uncontrollable, and they were swept away by the surging river at once, and they could only go with the flow.

The two of them drifted through the river at a speed of about 5 meters per second.

"Liu Xing, what now?"

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. You hold me tight, and we'll now try to swim to the shore. ”

Yuxin couldn't swim, as soon as Liu Xing let go, she would immediately sink into the river, so he hugged Yuxin tightly, and then swam in the direction perpendicular to the flowing water.

It is difficult for ordinary people to swim in such a turbulent river, let alone with a woman by their side.

Fortunately, Liu Xing's internal strength is profound, and during the procession, he secretly operated "Jiuyang Divine Skill" to resist the impact of flowing water.

"Jiuyang Divine Skill" has the characteristics of being strong when it is strong, when competing with the surging flood, Liu Xing not only did not feel tired, but there was a steady stream of internal force generation in his body, and the speed was extremely fast.

So, Liu Xing swam faster and faster, and after swimming for a distance of several hundred meters, a small island suddenly appeared on the river in front of him.

The island is only a hundred square meters, with a few rocks standing in it, but other than that, there is nothing.

"Let's go to the island first. ”

"Hmm. ”

A minute later, Liu Xing smoothly took Yuxin to the shore of the island, and took her to a huge rock on the island to take shelter from the rain.

"Yuxin, you stay here first, I'm going down the river to save people. ”

"The river is so fast, it's too dangerous......"

"It's okay, I'm good at water. You stay here and don't move. I'll be right back. ”

"Be careful, don't force ......"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Xing pounced. has jumped into the river again.

At this time, the sky was still raining heavily. On the nearby river, Liu Xing could vaguely see several passengers trapped in the rushing water.

He immediately swam to the rescue.

For more than two hours, Liu Xing went back and forth on the nearby river, rescuing a total of 15 passengers, including Huang Heping, the owner of the Peace Bookstore, Guo Meiyu, the owner of the Meijiayang Bookstore, and others.

In addition, there were 6 male passengers who had better water skills and swam to the island on their own.

At one time, 22 tourists gathered on the island.

Afterwards. Liu Xing searched around the nearby waters again, but found no more passengers, and his own physical strength was exhausted, so he returned to the island.

"Thanks to Xiao Liu tonight, otherwise my old life would be here!"

"Yes, Xiao Liu is so good at water, he can swim in such a hurry. ”

……

Four or five passengers sat on the shore of the island talking, while others lay on the ground, exhausted, some of them unconscious.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about their lives for the time being.

Liu Xing swept away. Seeing Yuxin huddled under a boulder shivering, her face was very pale, and Liu Xing stepped forward. I touched the door of her head, only to find that her head was hot, and it seemed that she had a cold.

Yuxin's whole body was already soaked, and she had been drenched in the torrential rain for more than two hours, and her body was already a little overwhelmed, and her consciousness was a little blurred.

Liu Xing immediately hugged Yuxin into his arms, and secretly ran the "Jiuyang Divine Skill", and the slightest true qi flowed into her body.

Under the boulder, the two hugged each other tightly.

Heavy rain continued to fall.

More than two hours passed. A hovercraft finally appeared on the river.

It turned out that it was the police who arrived.

Afterwards. Everyone left on a hovercraft, and some of the passengers were seriously injured. They were taken directly to the hospital, and the rest of the passengers returned to the Dream Rim Hotel.

……

The next day, Room 301 of the Dream Rim Hotel.

In the TV in the guest room, a social news is playing:

"The latest news from this station, there was a major traffic accident on the Huangjiang Bridge at eight o'clock last night. When a bus passed the Huangjiang Bridge, it rushed directly out of the bridge, fell into the Yellow River, and sank to the bottom of the river. The 42 passengers on the bus were all booksellers from Tianhai City. ”

"Of the 42 passengers on the bus, 29 were rescued, one died, and 12 are missing. According to the rescued passengers, this time it was thanks to a passenger named Liu Xing who rescued him. If it weren't for his timely rescue, the death toll would have increased several times. ”

"According to the preliminary investigation by the police, the cause of the accident in the bus was a problem with the brake system, and there were traces of an explosion in the brake oil pipe. The police determined that it should have been a premeditated murder case......"

……

"Liu Xing's life is really hard, he can't die in such a serious car accident, and he saved so many people!"

On the sofa in the guest room, a middle-aged man said with a little disappointment. This man is also a bookseller from Tianhai City, and he is Huang Baijing, the owner of the Baijing Book Bar.

Huang Baijing is also one of the top ten committee members of Novel Street, and in order to successfully become the president of Novel Street a year later, he decided to eliminate several other committee members of Novel Street.

Among them, Liu Xing of Meteor Book Bar, Li Ming of Dawn Book City, Sun Jiang of Bohai Book City and others are the key targets of Huang Baijing's attack.

The car accident last night was secretly planned by Huang Baijing. He thought that he could get rid of Liu Xing, Li Ming, Guo Cai and others in this car accident, but he never expected that these people all survived the car accident.

Touching his chin, Huang Baijing secretly pondered: "It seems that if you want to deal with this kid Liu Xing, you have to find another way......

Boom!!

Suddenly, the door of the guest room was kicked open, and several men in black broke in, led by a man in black wearing a pair of sunglasses, who was Black Hawk.

"You...... Who are you?" Huang Baijing's face changed slightly.

Bang!

Without saying a word, Black Eagle took out a hand-gun and hit Huang Baijing with one shot, and the latter instantly fell unconscious.

Black Hawk's pistol was a tranquilizer gun, which only made Huang Baijing temporarily unconscious.

"Carry it away. ”

Black Eagle handed over a look, and several other men in black carried Huang Baijing out of the guest room.

From last night to today, Black Eagle has been secretly monitoring Huang Baijing, and he has investigated what Huang Baijing did.

Immediately after leaving the hotel, Black Hawk made a phone call to his boss.

"Boss, things are done. Black Eagle reported, "I've already arrested Huang Baijing, what should I do now?" ”

"Bring Huang Baijing back to Tianhai City, I will slowly settle this account with him. Liu Xing said.

"Understood. ”

"Also, Lu Yuxin is the sales manager of Bohai Book City, she can't have an accident, and let the 'white dolphin' secretly protect her in the past two days. Liu Xing admonished.

"Yes. ”

White Dolphin is a female killer in Bohai Book City, and Black Hawk is a partner.

After dealing with Huang Baijing's matter, Liu Xing prepared to go to Wanxing Mountain tomorrow to see Wang Tairan. In order to prevent Yuxin from having an accident, it was decided to let the white dolphin secretly protect her.

"By the way, boss, do you want to carry out Liu Xing's kidnapping plan?" asked Black Hawk.

"This plan has been cancelled for the time being. Liu Xing said, "Liu Xing, this kid saved Yuxin's life in last night's car accident, and let this kid go today." ”

"Understood. ”
