Chapter 561: Chapter 572: Arrogant Thugs

"You can think I wouldn’t dare!" the criminal said indifferently, "If you catch us, even being executed a hundred tis wouldn’t be enough. So, surrendering or anything of that nature is utterly useless. Unless you kill us all, we will never be captured by you."

Director Ning Changzheng said angrily, "You absolutely cannot kill the hostages, or we will never let you go."

"Haha... whether we kill the hostages or not, the outco if we get caught is the sa. So, save your breath. I’m giving you ten minutes to think it over, or after ten minutes, you can start collecting corpses."

This put Director Ning in a difficult position, agreeing to the criminal’s demands would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, and they would bear a great responsibility. But not agreeing and resulting in harm to the hostages would be equally their responsibility.

"Ten minutes will pass quickly," the criminal added, then he dragged the hostage back inside. As he reached the door, suddenly there was a gunshot, and the hostage’s body lurched forward.

However, the hostage hadn’t died, but another bullet had hit one of his legs, and he lay on the ground wailing in pain.

"I just wanted to show you that we dare to act. This ti it’s only a leg; next ti, we will definitely send out a dead body." Another criminal’s voice ca from within.

"Save ! Save !" the hostage lay on the ground, waving his arms and shouting at the police.

Director Ning raised his hand and ordered, "Quick, save the hostage."

Regular police officers didn’t dare to move forward at this point, but fortunately, there were special forces. Imdiately, four special forces rushed over, and Li Yifei swiftly followed them.

No one noticed who he was in the tension, all eyes fixed on the museum’s entrance. If the criminals inside opened fire now, the five people going to save the hostage would all be in danger.

But the criminals didn’t shoot, and the five quickly brought the hostage back. Li Yifei didn’t help carry the hostage, but instead quickly surveyed the inside of the building. However, just inside the museum’s entrance, there was a wall that blocked the view from outside, and once past this barrier, anyone attempting to rush through the main entrance would be exposed with no cover, making it impossible to infiltrate through the front.

After they had retreated, people gathered around the hostage, still not paying any attention to Li Yifei. Li Xinyue also surreptitiously captured the scene of rescuing the hostage with a pinhole cara; this was a rare shot.

"Director Ning, what shall we do now?" a few leaders gathered around Ning Changzheng, all frowning deeply.

At this mont, Director Ning was also wrestling with the decision. After so thought, he said, "Let’s delay for now. Lin Qiong is inside; let’s see if she can co up with sothing."

If Li Xinyue could capture the situation inside with Lin Qiong, these police officers could certainly get the information. And since Lin Qiong had solved major cases in such short ti before, everyone had so hope in her.

Then, a special forces mber hurried over to Director Ning and whispered, "Chief of Public Security Bureau, Lin Qiong secretly signaled us that there are eight criminals inside with six handguns, a micro assault rifle, and they’ve also found two grenades."

Director Ning was shocked by the news; it was crucial information, but also astonishing. This wasn’t a movie, and the control of firearms in the country was very strict. To obtain even one handgun was extrely difficult, yet these eight people had so many weapons, including a micro assault rifle and grenades – practically a small battle squad.

With such criminals, even a full assault would likely lead to casualties, especially because they held hostages, making the situation even more delicate.

The voice of the criminal inside called out again, "Director Ning, five minutes have passed, only five more minutes, and we will start killing hostages."

Director Ning imdiately shouted, "You must give us so ti, this matter cannot be decided by

alone, I need to consult with the leaders of the Municipal Committee."

"What leaders of the Municipal Committee? You’re the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, this is your call. Five minutes, if you’re not ready, we’ll start killing hostages."

"Five minutes is too short, even if I agree to your demands right now, we can’t prepare that quickly. Give us ten more minutes."

"Four minutes left," the other side paid no heed to Director Ning and continued counting down.

"Director Ning, what do we do?"

Director Ning was still hesitating at this point.

"I don’t think we can agree to their demands, if we let them get away, it would be a dereliction of our duty."

"But what if they kill the hostages if we don’t agree?"

"We can only do our best to protect the hostages. If we release such violent and extre criminals, they will commit larger cris in the future. So even if the price is high, we must bring them to justice."

"That would an completely disregarding the safety of the hostages and going in guns blazing. If we opt for any other thod, we cannot instantly kill them all at once. Any remaining criminal will definitely retaliate against the hostages, and if they detonate the grenades, the casualties could be enormous."

Now, so supported complying with the criminals’ demands, while others did not, and both sides had their reasons.

"Bang!" While Director Ning and the others had yet to decide, suddenly a gunshot rang out from inside the museum, and then a body was flung out, rolling on the ground twice before lying motionless, blood gushing from the forehead.

"That’s the first one. I’ll give you ten more minutes. If you don’t agree by then, this ti we’ll kill two. After all, we have plenty of hostages. We could keep killing for an hour or so," the criminal inside laughed wildly.

Director Ning’s complexion turned ashen, and he bellowed, "Fine, I agree... Don’t hurt any more hostages."

In this situation, they could only prioritize the safety of the hostages. They had indeed been testing whether the criminals dared to kill, but their gamble was wrong; not only did the criminals dare to kill, but they also did it decisively.

Li Xinyue, witnessing the murdered man, felt an upheaval in her stomach, nearly vomiting, gripping Li Yifei’s arm tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Li Yifei grabbed Li Xinyue’s hand and pressed hard on the base of her thumb, causing her pain that nearly made her cry out, but it significantly alleviated her discomfort.
