Chapter 69: Chapter 068: Situation Escalates! (Invalid Chapter)
"The female officer’s na is ng Yao, right? There is one." Facing Cao Guojun’s anxious inquiry, Qin Tian nodded lightly.
"Where is she?" Cao Guojun asked.
"She ran that way. The situation was very urgent just now, so I told her to run over there to draw their attention. However, I didn’t pursue her because I was worried that you would arrive. She should be eting up with you by now, right?" Qin Tian said.
Cao Guojun let out a sigh of relief and said, "That’s good," then he went back to the front line to prepare to seal off the Qingyun Nightclub.
"Boss, how’s it looking? Everything okay?" At this mont, Cui Longcai and the others ran over from the direction of the Qingyun Nightclub.
Seeing Li Wei and the others being taken away by the police, Zhang Zhiyang laughed heartily, "Damn it, that will teach you to be so arrogant. Now let’s see if they don’t strip a tendon from you!"
The Qingyun Society being dealt with by the police of course delighted the Fire Dragon Four, but they couldn’t figure out why gunfire erupted behind the Qingyun Nightclub all of a sudden and why the police took them away as soon as they arrived.
Although Qin Tian was sowhat pleased, he still reminded them not to celebrate too early.
He knew very well that Qiao Zhicheng, his second brother, was a deeply calculative person. With today’s accident, neither Qiao Zhicheng nor Feng Yifeng and the others appeared. Even if the police arrested Li Wei and the rest, it’s likely they wouldn’t be able to implicate Qiao Zhicheng.
A veteran of Jiang Hu like Li Wei would definitely know such rules.
"This is what we’ll do: you guys go back first, and I’ll stay here to see how things turn out."
After thinking for a mont, Qin Tian said to Cui Longcai and the others.
He wanted to stay behind to get more information from Cao Guojun, to see what the final outco for the Qingyun Society would be.
Just less than three minutes after Cui Longcai and the others drove away, the ard police force arrived.
At this ti, the truck carrying the national treasure seed to realize sothing was amiss. Suddenly, it turned and burst out of the pedestrian lane, speeding off in another direction.
After the truck turned around, it made its way onto a spacious avenue. This street wasn’t congested, so it quickly moved away from the clogged street.
However, just at this mont, the truck suddenly braked hard and ca to a stop.
Bang bang!
Two gunshots ca from the direction of the truck. Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn over there.
At the sight, Qin Tian was startled. ng Yao, who had been hiding, was now standing in front of the truck with a gun in each hand!
Bang bang bang!
Several more gunshots rang out. It seed that ng Yao was engaged in a gunfight with a few criminals.
Just then, Qin Tian suddenly saw ng Yao raise her hands — she had been taken hostage by the criminals!
"Damn it, Longcai, you’re trying to stop a truck on your own?" Qin Tian couldn’t help but have mixed feelings of amusent and concern.
After all, there were four ruthless criminals on that truck!
At this mont, the police and other troops rapidly surrounded the area.
"Everyone be careful, don’t let ng Yao get hurt!" Cao Guojun’s voice ca through, indicating his deep concern for ng Yao’s safety.
"Commander Cao, those criminals have taken Officer ng hostage," a police officer reported to Cao Guojun urgently.
"Ah, what on earth is going on!"
Cao Guojun let out a heavy sigh, but as an experienced veteran policeman, he quickly regained his composure.
"Evacuate the surrounding crowd. The robbers are ard - don’t agitate them, and ensure ng Yao’s safety at all costs!"
Cao Guojun issued his orders. He picked up a pair of binoculars and saw four criminals taking ng Yao towards a shopping mall on the roadside. This greatly alard him!
"Block off the intersections, don’t provoke the criminals for now, ensure the safety of those inside the mall, and pay particular attention to the safety of ng Yao!"
Cao Guojun beca increasingly tense. To his dismay, the criminals, instead of fleeing, had taken refuge in a crowded shopping mall – the situation had escalated dramatically!
After the bandit took ng Yao as a hostage into the shopping mall, the place suddenly erupted with chaotic noise. Following that, one of the bandits closed the mall’s main entrance, and then intermittent gunshots could be heard.
Outside, ard police and officers quickly surrounded the mall, and the surrounding crowd was imdiately evacuated.
Since taking office, this was the first ti Cao Guojun had encountered such a significant event. With every gunshot from inside the mall, his entire body would tremble. It wasn’t out of fear but because he was worried about the safety of the public, especially ng Yao’s.
You should know, when ng Yao first ca to his Public Security Bureau for training, Cao Guojun had guaranteed to her superior with a slap on his chest that nothing would happen to her. Now that she was taken hostage by bandits, Cao Guojun felt a deep sense of guilt.
Since his appointnt as head of the Public Security Bureau, Cao Guojun had taken it upon himself to protect public safety. The occurrence of such a major incident in his jurisdiction left him both angry and anxious.
Grabbing a gaphone from a policeman nearby, Cao Guojun shouted directly into the mall, "Attention, inside bandits, regardless of the reasons behind your hostage-taking, I, Cao Guojun, warn you not to harm the safety of the hostages. As long as you ensure their safety, everything is negotiable."
At this mont, Feng Yifeng arrived, looking extrely anxious, and hurried towards Cao Guojun, "Old Cao, how is it going? No one has been hard, right?"
Cao Guojun did not have certainty about the situation, replying, "There have been a few gunshots from inside. I’m not sure if the bandits have shot any hostages. There are too many people inside the mall, and besides, the bandits have taken ng Yao hostage. We really can’t afford to act rashly now."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing the latter part of Cao Guojun’s words, Feng Yifeng’s face instantly turned pale, and his voice beca much quieter, muttering, "You an... you an the daughter of Director ng, ng Yao, has been... "
Feng Yifeng did not dare to continue.
Although ng Yao was rely an ordinary cop, her father was none other than ng Changming!
ng Yao was Director ng’s only daughter!
Feng Yifeng, speechless, looked at Cao Guojun, who could only nod helplessly, "What’s done is done, now we can only think of a solution."
Ding ding ding...
Just then, Feng Yifeng’s phone rang. He took it out to look and instantly inhaled a sharp breath, signaling Cao Guojun with his eyes and whispering, "It’s a call from Director ng... "
After speaking, he did not dare to delay, answering the phone promptly, "Director ng, yes, yes, sss... indeed, a hostage situation by bandits has occurred here in the Eastern District. We are handling it. Currently, the bandits are surrounded by us... "
"Director ng, that... that, I have sothing to report to you, erm, that... ng Yao... ng Yao has been taken hostage by the bandits... "
Feng Yifeng cautiously approached the end of his sentence, when suddenly his head jerked as if frozen in place.
After a long mont, Feng Yifeng looked at Cao Guojun and said, "Director ng is furious. Upon hearing that sothing happened to ng Yao, he hung up the phone and said he’s coming to the scene directly."
The two of them looked at each other, both fraught with urgent concern.
To be cautious, Feng Yifeng made a call and had eight mbers of the Flying Tiger Team’s Special Forces transferred over, ready to storm in and rescue the hostages at any mont.
However, the most pressing issue now was that they didn’t know exactly how many hostages there were inside the mall, nor the precise location of the bandits.
"Listen up, inside! As long as you ensure the hostages’ safety, state whatever demands you may have. I am Feng Yifeng, and I promise to fulfill your demands to the best of my ability," Feng Yifeng shouted to the bandits inside the mall using a loudspeaker.
"Who’s in charge here? Step forward to the front!" ca a robust voice from inside the mall.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yifeng was startled, beads of cold sweat forming on his face as he looked towards Cao Guojun.
Cao Guojun took the gaphone from Feng Yifeng and walked forward, passing through the police cordon to the open ground in front of the mall, standing as immovable as a mountain.
"Listen up, bandits, I am Cao Guojun. I am right here. Do not harm the hostages. We can negotiate whatever conditions you have," Cao Guojun called out.
"Get
a large-displacent Land Rover SUV ready for , and make sure there are no tracking devices on it, or else I’ll go down fighting!" the voice of a bandit ca from inside the mall.
"You just wait, I’ll make the arrangents."
Cao Guojun agreed and began to walk back when he suddenly recalled that the boss, Qin Tian, had excellent skills and had seen many such situations. Could he have a way to resolve this? Cao Guojun glanced back at where Qin Tian had been standing, but Qin Tian had long since disappeared without a trace.
