Although Lin Tian couldn't be certain that the beautiful female boss was Bu ngting, robbers always favored jewelry, and there weren't many female bosses, so the person robbed was most likely Bu ngting.
Lin Tian was extrely anxious, the cold sweat on his back had drenched his entire body.
"Little wife, little wife, you must be okay, you must be fine…!"
While he ntally sent his wishes, he ran frantically forward. The pedestrian path was very narrow; he simply grabbed a sturdy-looking man in front of him and yanked him aside, rushing forward like the wind.
The robust man who was pulled aside had just thought to curse Lin Tian for his lack of morals, yet seeing Lin Tian run like the wind and noticing the sweat on his body, he didn't speak out. He couldn't believe that a man could run at such a speed.
Faster than Bolt, he must be really desperate!
"Move, move…!"
Lin Tian kept shouting as people in front of him stepped aside. The journey that normally took five minutes, Lin Tian managed to cover in just one minute.
Ahead, the sound of police sirens buzzed, and the surroundings were already cordoned off with police tape by the ti Lin Tian arrived, obscuring his view of the specifics inside.
However, the sign "ngting Jewelers" lood large — the incident had occurred right at Bu ngting's ngting Jewelers.
"ngting!"
Lin Tian roared and rushed in. As for the crowd that had ford a periter, he pushed through them forcefully, elbowing his way inside.
"Who is this guy, has he no decency? How can he push so aggressively!"
"Why is this person like this!"
"Such lack of manners."
Behind him, voices continued to criticize Lin Tian sharply.
Lin Tian couldn't care less about these comnts; his eyes were solely on Bu ngting.
At the forefront, there was a police line that ordinary people couldn't cross. Lin Tian carefully observed and saw at the entrance about a dozen hostages squatting, the one in the middle being Bu ngting.
Around the hostages, there were five ard robbers, their faces covered, clearly well-trained assassins.
Inside the jewelry store, several security guards lay injured on the ground, so twitching, others motionless, likely dead.
The five robbers pointed their guns at the hostages, who were at risk of being killed at any mont.
The police had deployed over a hundred officers, encircling the entire jewelry store. The chief officer, Guo Yun, the third in command at Wu'an City Police Departnt, knew that behind ngting Jewelers was Tianyi Pharma, and if he mishandled this situation, he would lose his job.
He shouted through a gaphone:
"Attention inside, you are surrounded. Under our police siege, you cannot escape. Put down your weapons, release the hostages, and I will propose to the authorities a lenient deal for you."
After he spoke, his palms were all sweaty. Now, he was even more nervous than the people inside. He had climbed his way to beco the third in command at Wu'an City Police Departnt; if he lost his job over this incident, he would be devastated!
The five robbers were clearly seasoned criminals and were not intimidated. The leader retorted, "Hmph, you think you can offer us a deal? I've killed enough people over the years to fill a truck. If you catch , I'll face nothing but death."
"Quick, withdraw your two snipers positioned on either side of the rooftop, or I will start killing."
The snipers were well concealed, yet he had managed to spot them, a testant to his skill.
After he finished speaking, he shook the gun in his hand, aiming at an employee, which made every employee scream and hug their heads, trembling all over.
"All right, all right," Guo Yun quickly gave in, saying, "Don't do anything rash; we're pulling back the snipers right now."
The two snipers were withdrawn, and the robbers smirked smugly. Then, checking his watch, the leader barked, "Where's the car? I asked you to prepare a vehicle within ten minutes, ten minutes ago. Why isn't it here yet?"
If they really gave them a car and they managed to escape, Zhou Yun would be left with no options, so a car was sothing they absolutely could not provide.
Zhou Yun reassured them, "Don't worry, the car is on its way, just give another five minutes, it will definitely arrive in five minutes. Please ensure the safety of the hostages."
"Don't try to fool with those words, I'm not naïve. If I don't show you my true colors, you won't realize how serious I am."
The robber glared at Zhou Yun, then turned the gun back towards the hostages.
"Not good," Lin Tian muttered under his breath.
Zhou Yun's face turned pale, realizing the robbers were about to shoot.
He yelled, "Don't be impulsive, the car is nearly here, you must ensure the safety of the hostages…!"
"Bang!"
Before he could complete his sentence, a gunshot rang out, striking down a female employee next to Bu ngting!
This shot was fired at random, which ant that Bu ngting had just been lucky. If the robber's aim had been slightly off, it could have been Bu ngting who was killed.
Bu ngting scread in terror, and from a distance, Lin Tian could see her entire body shaking violently.
Let alone a young woman, even a grown man would be unable to bear witnessing a colleague being coldly shot dead right before his eyes.
Having killed soone, Zhou Yun was also stunned; he continued to appease the criminals while urgently arranging for a car to be brought over.
Most of the remaining police officers continued their standoff with the criminals, and a few ran out, shouting at the onlooking crowd.
"Everyone, go back, it's too dangerous here, go back quickly...!"
The spectators, seeing soone dead, also beca frightened and began retreating, all except for Lin Tian.
He had to save his own woman; he didn't trust others to do it.
A police officer noticed Lin Tian standing still, hurried over to him, and said, "Sir, please leave, it's too dangerous here, don't interfere with our law enforcent, go quickly."
Lin Tian, no longer caring about the rules, stepped across the police line and charged toward Zhou Yun.
"Hey, stop, who are you, if you don't stop, I'm going to shoot...!" the policeman behind him shouted continuously, but Lin Tian ignored him, and of course, he didn't dare to shoot.
Lin Tian ran up to Zhou Yun, who was now sweating profusely and staring at Lin Tian in surprise.
The police hurried over and explained, "Chief Zhou, he forced his way in; I couldn't stop him."
"A police officer can't even stop one person, what the hell are you good for?" Zhou Yun yelled, visibly agitated and irritable.
He shouted at Lin Tian, "Sir, we are the police, working on a case here, we're not filming a TV show, don't you see, soone has already died, please leave."
Lin Tian could tell that Zhou Yun was already extrely stressed.
He said, "I'm here to help you rescue the hostages, give a handgun, and I'll help retrieve them."
"Hmph, kid, are you sick? Saving yourself and you still want to rescue hostages? You know, I've called over the best officers from the entire police station, none of them have backed down, and you, just an ordinary person, want to rescue the hostages. Hmph!"
Lin Tian ignored his mockery; saving lives was what mattered most now.
He took a quick step, bypassing the police.
"Damn it, co back, co back, do not interfere with our operation," Zhou Yun shouted from the side.
But Lin Tian ignored him and kept walking straight ahead.
Zhou Yun was nearly going insane; one person had already died, which would surely impact his career. If Lin Tian caused trouble and another hostage or two were killed, not only could he lose his job, but he might also end up in prison.
"Who are you?"
The robber aid the gun at Lin Tian and demanded furiously.
"My na is Lin Tian, and I am the owner of this jewelry store. I will be your hostage; let my employees go."
"Fine, co over here, and once you do, we will release them," the robber said.
Lin Tian nodded and walked forward step by step.
The police behind him urgently shouted, "Co back, they're tricking you, they won't release the hostages!"
"Co back, don't go to your death."
"Why are you so foolish!"
..., ... .
Lin Tian ignored the police; his voice was so loud that both the police and the hostages inside heard him.
Bu ngting, initially crying bitterly, stopped crying when she heard Lin Tian's voice, and watching his commanding figure, she suddenly felt supported and was no longer afraid.
Husband, you must save , I believe we will safely get through this ordeal.
Bu ngting thought to herself, and unknowingly, her tears turned into a smile, like the sun coming out after a little rain.
"Don't move." The robber threatened Lin Tian, aiming the gun at him.
Then, the leader of the robbers sent one out to search Lin Tian thoroughly; finding no weapons on him, he wrapped one arm around Lin Tian's neck and pointed his other hand at Lin Tian's temple, taking him back.
Instead of releasing the other hostages, the criminals now had an additional hostage in Lin Tian.
Zhou Yun, witnessing this scene, wished he could strangle Lin Tian.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he had allowed an innocent bystander to beco a hostage; if anything happened to Lin Tian, his imprisonnt was certain.
Soti later, Lin Tian was also pushed into the crowd of hostages, coincidentally squatting next to Bu ngting.
Lin Tian quietly leaned on Bu ngting and whispered, "Don't worry, sweetheart, even if I die today, I'll get you out."
Bu ngting was moved to tears and cried, "Husband, I don't want you to die; we both need to get out alive. Promise ."
A very heavyset robber overheard Lin Tian's and Bu ngting's conversation and mocked, "I was wondering why you'd dare co to your death; turns out you were here for a date with your little lover. What, you two want to die together? Don't worry, if our boss decides to kill again, I'll make sure you two are first."
Bu ngting shuddered in fear, and Lin Tian gritted his teeth, furiously thinking: Damn it, I'm not here to die for love; I'm here to be a hero and save the beauty. If I have to kill, you fatso will be the first I take down.
