29: Emergency, hostage taking in the street

Wang Yuan looked at the departing figure of the youth and asked, somewhat puzzled, “Brother Ming, how do you think this youth got the corpses of these three people? Isn’t two million like picking up money for free? I really envy this lucky guy!”

Yao Dachuan also chimed in, “Exactly, Daming, why are we giving him the credit for this? My annual salary is less than 300,000. This kid just picked up so much money for free!”

Zhang Daming took a sip of his freshly brewed tea, chewed the tea leaves in his mouth a few times, and then spat them back into the teacup.

“What do you two know? This kid is being protected by someone, and it’s a very important person…”

Zhang Daming stopped halfway through his sentence and said no more, continuing to calmly drink his tea.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan and Yao Dachuan anxiously said, “What important person?? Brother Ming, don’t keep us in suspense! You’re killing us!”

Zhang Daming spat out another mouthful of tea leaves, looking mysterious: “Dachuan, do you still remember that beautiful woman you saw driving the Provincial Martial Alliance car? Do you know who she is?”

“…Xiao Min, Vice Chairman Xiao of the Provincial Martial Alliance!”

Yao Dachuan’s eyes gradually brightened: “You mean, that kid just now is being protected by Chairman Xiao? What is he to Chairman Xiao? Her younger brother?”

“Hmph, what younger brother? Where would Chairman Xiao get a younger brother? Didn’t you see how handsome that young man was?” Zhang Daming said confidently.

Wang Yuan, standing nearby, looked envious: “Damn it, this kid is so lucky. I’m starting to envy this pretty boy!”

Just then, a clattering sound suddenly came from outside the room, followed by a rush of footsteps.

“Quick, stop him! Everyone, help! Fei Long is trying to escape!”

“Help! Someone, quick!”

A Law Enforcement Team member shouted anxiously.

Zhang Daming and the others’ expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and they quickly got up and rushed out the door.

“Damn it, this killing god is an Advanced Martial Artist. If he escapes, it’ll be big trouble!”

As they ran to the door, they saw a scarred, brawny man, at least two meters tall, pick up a Law Enforcement Team member and throw him towards the pursuing crowd.

“Bang!”

Immediately, more than half of the Law Enforcement Team members fell.

“Damn it, the Captain isn’t here today, we can’t control him!”

“Damn it, everyone go together! We can’t let him escape, he’s a dangerous individual!”

“Let’s risk it! If he escapes onto the street, we’ll be in big trouble!”

The team members discussed amongst themselves, then swarmed forward, attempting to trip Fei Long using their numerical advantage.

“Heh! A bunch of useless people! Do you really think you can stop me?!”

Fei Long’s voice was loud. His two-meter height combined with his 300-jin weight stood like an insurmountable mountain before everyone.

His swinging fists were like cannonballs, each punch sending several Law Enforcement Team members flying!

Zhang Daming’s pupils constricted. Most of the Law Enforcement Team members were Primary martial artists, with only a few Intermediate Martial Artists.

He was one of those few.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out his taser, and rushed up behind Fei Long.

“Bang!”

The taser struck Fei Long’s body heavily.

Just as Zhang Daming felt a surge of triumph, Fei Long’s terrifying scarred face turned around and glared at him fiercely.

“It didn’t work!”

Zhang Daming’s pupils contracted sharply.

The next instant, he was picked up by a hand as huge as a palm fan, then thrown out like a sandbag.

“Bang!”

Zhang Daming’s body slammed against the wall, shaking dust to the floor.

Seeing this, everyone recoiled, not daring to step forward for a moment.

Even Zhang Daming, an Intermediate Martial Artist, was thrown around like a chick, let alone them, who were Primary martial artists!

“Heh heh! I’m not playing with you useless bunch anymore!”

With that, Fei Long rushed towards the exit of the Law Enforcement Team building.

“What are you standing around for?!”

Zhang Daming struggled to his feet.

“Hurry up and chase him!”

Wang Yuan and Yao Dachuan’s Adam’s apples bobbed. For a moment, their feet felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.

Watching everyone swarm forward, Wang Yuan then cautiously followed behind.

…

At this moment, on the street outside the Law Enforcement Team building, Jiang Fan was waiting for a bus by the bus stop, looking depressed.

“I didn’t expect claiming a bounty to be so troublesome. It’s all records and questioning, and then I still have to wait for the Law Enforcement Department’s review! After the review, they’ll start disbursing the funds. It’s truly a hassle!”

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the direction of the Law Enforcement Team building.

Jiang Fan looked in that direction and saw a brawny man, at least two meters tall, running towards him.

Behind the brawny man, more than a dozen Law Enforcement Team members were in pursuit.

This was none other than Fei Long, who had just escaped from the Law Enforcement Team building.

Suddenly, Fei Long let out a sinister laugh and pulled a woman wearing headphones, who was standing next to Jiang Fan, into his embrace.

The woman was startled by the sudden turn of events and screamed, her face paling. Her communicator fell to the ground with a clatter.

“You useless bunch, stop following me, or I’ll crush her head!” Fei Long roared fiercely at the Law Enforcement Team members behind him.

The Law Enforcement Team members behind him immediately changed their expressions upon seeing this.

However, they were hesitant to act, afraid of harming the hostage, so they dared not press too closely for a moment.

“Fei Long, don’t do anything rash! Quickly release the hostage, and we can discuss anything!” Zhang Daming shouted loudly, trying to stabilize Fei Long first.

Then, he quietly said to the team members beside him, “Notify Captain Duan to come for support, and have someone bring heavy weapons over quickly!”

“I need a bulletproof car. If I don’t see it within ten minutes, I’ll twist her head off!” Fei Long said to the crowd of Law Enforcement Team members.

Zhang Daming stepped forward, trying to buy time: “Fei Long, don’t be impulsive. We don’t have a bulletproof car in our team. We’re contacting the main team to coordinate…”

Fei Long grinned, staring at the young female hostage’s pink wristband: “Don’t give me that delaying tactic. I’m giving you 10 minutes. If I don’t see the car by 5:18, she dies!”

Upon hearing this, the young woman was already crying uncontrollably, but she was afraid of angering the killing god behind her, so she could only suppress her sobs as much as possible.

Silent tears streamed down the girl’s face, a sight that was heartbreaking to behold!

Zhang Daming’s expression was grim; he could only pray that the sniper from the Law Enforcement Team would be in position as soon as possible.

The sudden hostage situation had turned the originally orderly street into a chaotic mess!

Onlookers stood across the road, pointing and discussing amongst themselves.

“Under broad daylight, something like this is happening right outside the Law Enforcement Team building!”

“This girl is so unlucky; it’s a sudden misfortune!”

“This person looks like an utterly evil villain; he probably has several lives on his hands!”

“This criminal is actually taking a hostage right under the Law Enforcement Team’s nose; I don’t know what these people are even doing!”

…

Many onlookers were also recording videos with their communicators.

“Hey everyone, I’ve arrived at the scene of the crime as quickly as possible. This is right outside the Nancheng Law Enforcement Team building.”

“See that? The tall guy across the street is the culprit holding the hostage. I don’t know why this guy would be so reckless as to take a hostage right outside the Law Enforcement Team building.”

“Thanks to the handsome guy with the tattooed arm for the rocket! Thanks to Sweetie for the yacht! Mwah! Love you all!

You’re really funny, keyboard warrior. If I walk within 10 meters, wouldn’t that be suicide?”

“What?? I’m a coward? When has I, City East Yan Zu, ever been a coward?! My friends, if you send 100 rockets today, I, City East Yan Zu, will keep my word and walk within 10 meters to give you a close-up!”
