Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, the mall was already controlled by this group of guys in black with black masks. The security guards in the mall didn’t dare to move under the deterrence of the submachine gun, while the guests squatted on the ground with fear on their faces.

“Second Brother, Third Brother, bring people to the second floor and guard the third floor to prevent any unforeseen events. Whoever dares to cause trouble, kill them directly!”

The leader of the group said with a cold gaze.

About ten people went up to the second and third floor of the mall, holding weapons and looking around, intimidating the crowd on these floors.

At the same time, the news of the mall being held hostage by a group of mysterious people had already been quickly learned by the Zhong Hai police. Immediately, the Director of the Zhong Hai Police Bureau, Hong Zhentao, had a premonition of the severity of the matter. He immediately dispatched all the police forces to the mall. All the armed police, special police, and other teams were mobilized.

After all, there were hundreds of citizens in this mall. If anything happened, it would cause a huge uproar. As the police chief, he couldn’t afford to take responsibility.

In less than five minutes after the men in black controlled the mall, police cars stopped outside the mall. Group after group of policemen armed to the teeth rushed down with weapons and aimed their guns at the mall.

At this moment, the surroundings of the mall had already been completely sealed off. More than hundreds of police officers were mobilized, including the special police and armed police. All of them were waiting for orders to take action.

In this command vehicle, the police chief, Hong Zhentao, the deputy director, Yan Feng, and a few special force personnel and armed police personnel were all gathered here.

Among such a group of men, a woman in a police uniform appeared. Her tall and perfect figure was covered in a tight police uniform. Especially her two tall “mountain peaks”, it made the police uniform bulge. Her skin was the color of wheat, and her short hair made her look capable and smart. There was a hint of coldness on her face.

“Bingning, How’s the current situation?”

Hong Zhentao looked at the beautiful and cold female cop.

At this moment, Yang Bingning said in a low voice, “Chief, there should be about 20 people in this group of criminals, all of them have powerful weapons. Now, they’ve sealed all the passageways in the mall, and the surveillance system inside has been completely destroyed. It’s difficult for us to understand the situation in the mall in detail, but clearly, this is a planned operation.”

“Well, Captain Yang is right, but these people are too bold. They actually dare to do such a thing in Zhong Hai in broad daylight. This is simply a provocation to us.”

That deputy director of the police department, Yan Feng, said with a cold face.

“This group of people made such a big commotion but it doesn’t seem to be a robbery. They must have other intentions. I suggest that we communicate with them first to understand their intentions. At the same time, we should prepare for an attack and find an opportunity to enter this mall to capture all of them,” Yang Bingning said in a low voice.

“Alright, Bingning, you’ll be in charge of this mission. All the police will cooperate with you. Remember, I request that no one in this mall be injured or killed. Otherwise, none of us can bear the responsibility,” Hong Zhentao said with a solemn expression.

“Yes, Chief!”

Yang Bingning nodded and walked out of the command vehicle.

“Captain!”

At this moment, a young man in a police uniform walked over and looked at Yang Bingning solicitously. The latter still had a cold expression.

“Gather everyone and get ready. Go and check if there are other entrances to this mall that we can enter from.”

“Yes, Captain.” The young policeman nodded and turned to leave.

This beautiful police officer boldly walked towards the mall, causing the surrounding police officers to hurriedly shout, “Captain, be careful.”

However, Yang Bingning was not afraid at all. She stood more than ten meters away from the entrance of the mall and said, “I’m the captain of the Zhong Hai Police Force. Tell me your intentions.”

In the mall, when the group of bandits heard the female cop outside, their eyes froze. The boss of this group of people walked to the door and hid at an angle that the sniper outside couldn’t see. He said, “We only want Lang Kun. Until you release him, no one in the mall can escape today.”

Outside the mall, when Yang Bingning heard the name Lang Kun, her expression changed, and a trace of surprise flashed across her cold eyes.

“Who is this Lang Kun? He actually made this group of people hold a mall hostage to save him?”

When Ye Luo, who was hiding on the second floor, heard the Chief Bandit’s words, his eyes flickered with surprise.

“I think I’ve heard of this name.”

At this moment, Luo Jingxuan, who was beside Ye Luo, frowned and said, “I remember now. There’s a report on the news. He seems to be the boss of a mysterious organization that sells cultural relics. He was just captured by the Zhong Hai police. I didn’t expect this group of people to come for him.”

“I see.”

Ye Luo nodded and focused his eyes. At this moment, he had already activated his X-ray vision and saw all the distribution of this group of people clearly.

Outside the mall, in the command car, when Yang Bingning mentioned the request of the group of bandits, the expressions of Hong Zhentao and the others changed.

“What, they actually came for Lang Kun?”

Hong Zhentao frowned as he spoke, his eyes flickering with surprise.

“It seems that this Lang Kun is not simple. After he was captured, someone still made such a big scene for him,” Yan Feng said coldly.

“What do we do now, Chief?” Yang Bingning looked at Hong Zhentao.

“Of course we can’t agree to their terms. This Lang Kun is the mastermind of many cultural relics cases. It’s very important. We spent so much effort and resources to capture him. How can we let him go so easily? Even if I agree, the higher-ups won’t allow it,” Hong Zhentao said with a determined expression.

“But according to their attitudes, if we don’t agree, I’m afraid the people in the mall will be in danger,” Yang Bingning said.

“Captain Yang, this is your problem. Since this case has been handed to you, you have to ensure the safety of the crowd. We also believe in your ability. You won’t disappoint us, right?”

Yan Feng looked at Yang Bingning with a hint of meaning.

“Bingning, if we attack forcefully, how confident are you in capturing this group of people under the premise of ensuring the safety of the crowd?” Hong Zhentao looked at Yang Bingning and said.

“50%!” Yang Bingning said coldly.

“Only 50%?”

As Yan Feng spoke, his expression was somewhat strange.

“Send someone to stabilize those people first. Discuss a plan of action as soon as possible. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll contact the military,” Hong Zhentao said.

“Yes, Chief, I will definitely complete the mission..”
