Chapter 91

This incident was also due to Tong Tong's bad luck. Unwilling to return to Huai City and unwilling to be confined in the 'prison' by her parents, Tong Tong took advantage of dinner at the hotel and slipped away from the back door under the pretext of going to the toilet! Recalling her mother's terrible attitude towards her cousin in the afternoon, Tong Tong didn't dare to return to the Chen residence!

Because she had left in a hurry, Tong Tong, without her wallet or phone, couldn't contact her friends who lived in the suburban villas. For a moment, Tong Tong, without any direction, aimlessly wandered the streets of Gang City, not daring to walk along the main roads for fear of her parents catching up, and instead took the back alleys.

During this period, due to a series of sudden criminal incidents, the Gang City government, in conjunction with the Gang City Public Security Bureau, quietly launched a 'crackdown' campaign, with police officers from various districts investigating areas with a high concentration of rental properties to prevent fugitives from hiding among them!

During the investigation and questioning, a police officer from the Xicheng community in the urban area actually discovered an A-level fugitive. However, the cunning criminal immediately fled onto the street, and the police quickly contacted the police station, surrounding the criminal at the end of Beidajie Street! At this moment, Tong Tong, with only ten yuan in her pocket, had just bought bread from a 24-hour supermarket on Beidajie Street and walked out, only to collide with the desperate criminal!

Seeing no way out, the criminal, carrying a single bag, suddenly clamped Tong Tong with both hands, pulled out a replica Type 54 pistol from his waist, retreated into the supermarket, and confronted the many police officers! The supermarket staff and customers fled the scene immediately, leaving only the criminal and the kidnapped Tong Tong inside the supermarket!

Upon receiving instructions from the city police leadership, the criminal investigation team arrived at the scene first. When Wang Li saw through the supermarket lights that the hostage was the girl who had accompanied Xiao Sheng to the police station to give a statement that night, she immediately called Xiao Sheng!

The red Ferrari sped through the crowded urban streets, Xiao Sheng, ignoring the traffic lights, relied on his superb driving skills to quickly head to the scene. On the way, Xiao Sheng contacted Scout and instructed him to quickly head to the scene with AK to set up a perimeter.

Chen Shuyuan, anxious and worried, fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, her hands on her thighs. Xiao Sheng's rough hand immediately covered her smooth hand, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Sheng's calm smile.

"Don't worry, everything is under control." These simple six words, as if enchanted, gradually calmed Chen Shuyuan's heart. Feeling the warmth from Xiao Sheng's hand, Chen Shuyuan felt a sense of security from this man for the first time!

The red Ferrari abruptly stopped in front of the scene, which was already surrounded by a crowd. Xiao Sheng got out of the car and pushed through the crowd, reaching the police cordon. Three uniformed police officers blocked Xiao Sheng and Chen Shuyuan, but Wang Li, who had received Xiao Sheng's call, hurried over.

"They are the family of the hostage, let them in to identify her." Hearing Wang Li's words, the three police officers stepped aside, and Xiao Sheng, with a stern face, asked as he crossed the cordon:

"What's the situation now?"

"The criminal's identity has been confirmed. He is the sole fugitive from the 3.12 jewelry robbery. The situation is very serious. The criminal has a replica Type 54 pistol and has attached a homemade timed bomb to Miss Tong. According to him, if he presses the button in his hand, the bomb will explode immediately." Hearing Wang Li's words, Chen Shuyuan, standing next to Xiao Sheng, felt her legs go weak. What could they do?

"Damn, he's a professional habitual criminal." Just as Xiao Sheng said this, a figure he least wanted to see walked over. Zou Hai, with a businesslike attitude, approached the three of them and said sternly:

"How can you come in? The police are handling the case. Civilians, please step back behind the cordon."

"Deputy Captain Zou, he is the family of the hostage, here to inquire about the case's progress."

"Even so, according to regulations, it's not allowed..." Just as Zou Hai was rambling on, Xiao Sheng turned and quietly asked into the microphone at his collar:

"Report your position." At this moment, the communication devices of the three were connected, and after Xiao Sheng spoke, he heard Scout and AK's responses.

"Sniper One is in position, visibility is 40%, not suitable for shooting." AK, the mechanic and firearms expert of the 'Ghost Spear' Special Operations Team 5, also had exceptional sniping skills and was known as Sniper One during missions.

"Sniper Two is in position, visibility is less than 10%, extremely difficult to shoot." Xiao Sheng took a few steps forward and continued giving orders.

"Scout, follow the employer. Sniper One, shoot at the first opportunity."

"Understood." The earpiece transmitted the simultaneous response from Scout and AK.

Standing in front of the supermarket, looking across at the closed doors, the lights inside had been turned off by the criminal. Clearly, this was an experienced criminal who had hidden in the northeast corner behind the supermarket shelves, with his entire body concealed behind Tong Tong. Fortunately, the two walls opposite the supermarket were made of glass, and although they were filled with goods, it didn't affect AK's high vantage point.

Time ticked by, and the criminal inside the supermarket clearly became unstable, shouting through the door, demanding to be let go! With such a serious incident, the main leaders of the police department had already arrived, and the negotiation expert found it difficult to calm the criminal. As the negotiations reached a stalemate, Xiao Sheng, losing patience, walked over to Wang Li, pulled out the handcuffs from her, and headed straight for the supermarket.

Xiao Sheng's sudden appearance from cover caused a commotion within the police force. Wang Hai, the commander of the operation, roared into the radio, demanding to know who it was. When he learned that Xiao Sheng was Tong Tong's family, he almost threw the radio away. Wasn't this just causing trouble?

"AK, I'll distract the criminal, don't hesitate."

"Understood, mission guaranteed." Just as Xiao Sheng heard AK's response, he had already reached the supermarket entrance. The negotiation expert, who had received orders, tried to pull Xiao Sheng back, but he shook him off.
