567: I want to go abroad

Damn it!

Song Wen stood at the fork in the road, suddenly realizing that he had been at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the competition.

However, at this moment, he must first find the reason for the extra seven people.

Since these seven people were all his employees, it meant that the people Su Yue found were not the personnel originally recorded in the building.

Thinking of this, he began to arrange people to conduct a person-by-person investigation.

The simplest method was roll call.

They had already obtained the building's accommodation list and began checking by calling out names one by one.

Those whose names were called would temporarily go and sit on the other side. If ultimately seven people were not called out, then they were Su Yue's helpers.

"Zhang Hong!"

"Tong Li!"

"Yang Hua!"

"Liu Guangxing!"

While the roll call was in progress, in the temporary command post on the other side, A Qi's face suddenly turned pale.

Jia Ping of the anti-drug team's face also turned extremely bad. Seeing their expressions, Xiang Shanmo also suddenly remembered the most serious problem.

"Our people are also among the hostages!"

"They wouldn't be exposed if we didn't call names at first!"

"Now with the roll call, everything is exposed!"

"What should we do!" Jia Ping asked anxiously. However, no one answered him.

Because of the need to apprehend Song Wen and the New Apo drug traffickers, the Municipal Bureau had previously sent undercover agents to infiltrate, but of course, their identities were not registered.

If they called names now, these three undercover agents would be easily discovered!

If Song Wen discovered people from the Municipal Bureau, he would definitely take action!

He would definitely kill people!

He had just said that if they were Su Yue's people, they wouldn't be considered hostages...

In other words, if they were people from the Municipal Bureau, they also wouldn't be considered hostages!

They would really die!

A Qi's expression was very solemn. He looked at Xiang Shanmo and asked, "Can we contact him?"

"The call just now?" Xiang Shanmo shook his head and said, "They were all using virtual numbers, calling back is meaningless."

Hearing this, A Qi looked at the person in charge of the special operations team again: "Do you have equipment like drones?"

"We do, but Kang Team, it's already too late now."

Roll call is actually very fast; three hundred people may seem like a lot, but roll call only takes a few minutes to complete.

A Qi turned his head again to look at the big screen. Looking at the many people already sitting on the other side, the sound of him grinding his teeth seemed audible.

"Aren't we going to save them!" "Prepare quickly!"

"Get the drones airborne within five minutes!" Someone immediately started working on it, but even if they could get airborne within five minutes, what then?

The issue of the drone's maximum altitude and whether the drone could communicate with the other party...

For a moment, A Qi felt his head splitting.

The repeated shocks and anxieties made his already unrested body even worse.

At this moment, he looked at the situation before him with a complex heart.

"Wait."

Just at this moment, he suddenly heard Song Wen's voice coming from the live broadcast.

This made his heart suddenly sink.

Had he been discovered?

He immediately looked back at the live broadcast, watching as Song Wen had already drawn his handgun from the waist of a subordinate beside him!

He was going to kill someone!

Song Wen's face was very grim. He walked towards the location where the hostages were!

"Are the drones ready!"

At this moment, A Qi felt his body trembling. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead and across the bridge of his nose. With red eyes, he roared, "Quick! Find every possible way to contact them!"

But everyone knew it was already too late!

Su Yue was not present at the moment, so no one could prevent this situation from happening!

They had already seen the face of their own person sitting on the ground in the live video.

Jia Ping heavily slammed his fist, and the table made a bang. His heart was filled with anger at his own powerlessness...

But immediately he found that the situation seemed a bit off.

Song Wen actually bypassed his own people and walked straight towards a woman sitting in the back!

"Damn it!"

Song Wen suddenly cursed loudly, raised his arm, lifted his handgun, and furiously pulled the trigger towards that woman!

Bang bang bang bang!

The sound of gunshots and the muzzle flash caused horrifying screams to erupt in the hall!

"Ahhh!!!"

A Qi, watching this scene, was completely stunned. Song Wen actually disregarded his agreement with Su Yue!? He just surrendered like that! "

"No..." Li Ou's voice came. "Look closely!"

A Qi heard this, narrowed his eyes, and looked carefully.

However, he found that although the woman had fallen to the ground, she seemed a bit unusual.

Her posture when falling was strange, and no blood was seen in the camera feed...

A thought suddenly flashed through A Qi's mind: "Is this a dummy?"

But just then, he heard Su Yue's voice coming from the live broadcast.

"Angry? Don't worry, this night is still long..."

The sound came from the auditorium's speakers, but A Qi quickly realized that it wasn't just the auditorium; the entire building was broadcasting this sound simultaneously!

Even without watching the live broadcast, Su Yue's voice could be clearly heard from hundreds of meters away!

What lay at Song Wen's feet at this time was a doll.

It was a very expensive 1:1 scale silicone doll. Whether it was the face or the height ratio, no difference could be seen from a real person.

It was especially difficult to distinguish when mixed in with the crowd, not to mention Su Yue had also applied makeup and disguised it to make it even more realistic.

But if one kept staring at the hostages, they could spot flaws after a while.

After all, dolls don't blink.

However, even after discovering this, Song Wen's expression was still extremely angry!

The makeup on this doll was also extremely similar to that of a certain celebrity!

He shot four or five times almost like venting, knocking the doll to the ground, then panted heavily, filled with shame and indignation!

But just then, he suddenly heard Su Yue's voice echoing in the auditorium.

"Angry?"

"Don't worry..."

"This is just the beginning."

Hearing this sentence, Song Wen's eyebrows twitched.

He naturally knew that this sound was coming from the hall's speakers, surrounding the entire building.

"Where are you?!"

He suddenly turned to look at the stage where the speech had been given before, but the stage was empty at this moment, so naturally there was nothing there.

"Looking for me?"

Su Yue's voice came again: "Look around, in this hall, where do you guess I'm hiding?"

Song Wen's face was flushed red. He didn't say a word, and even stopped the action of turning around to look everywhere.

He imagined Su Yue watching the live broadcast, watching him looking around like an idiot, and his heart was filled with even more shame and indignation.

"Su Yue!" he said maliciously, "Yes, this night is still very long!"

"Remember your words now!"

But after he finished this sentence, he did not receive a response from Su Yue.

The veins on his forehead were faintly visible. Looking at his appearance, the mockery and sarcasm on the bullet screen never stopped.

"Overestimating yourself, you're bound to lose!"

"Still fighting with Su Yue? Are you an idiot?"

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"

However, Song Wen had already turned off the bullet screen, so he naturally didn't hear these mocking words.

In this situation, he naturally didn't want to say much, and even less did he want those foolish viewers to affect his emotions.

He just said coldly, "Search! Search the entire hall thoroughly!"

"To prevent Su Yue from still being here..."

At this moment, Song Wen dragged over a building staff member, glared at her fiercely, and asked, "Is there anywhere else in the building that can transmit sound?"

Hearing Song Wen's words, that female Manager seemed about to cry.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Song Wen, and answered tremblingly, "Besides... here, there's only the reception room left... The reception room can control the sound throughout the entire building."

Song Wen didn't wait for her to finish speaking and said directly, "Go to the reception room! Su Yue might be in the reception room!"

His order was given very accurately and directly, but Song Wen's expression was still very unpleasant.

Because he knew that even if Su Yue had just been in the reception room, he must not be there now.

And no matter what, his thoughts were always trailing behind Su Yue; he had to break free from this predicament!

...

A Qi was deeply shocked by the situation in the hall before him.

"It was a doll?"

"How did he do it?"

A Qi couldn't help but exclaim, what Su Yue had done was truly unexpected.

Jia Ping let out a long breath: "Finally... finally nothing went wrong."

"I didn't expect Su Yue could go this far. Did he predict this would happen?"

"But anyway, it's good that our people are okay... my back is soaked..."

As Jia Ping said this, sweat dripped down his forehead. The sweating caused by excessive tension and rapid heart rate wasn't just him; A Qi, Xiang Shanmo, and even Li Ou, who had always been very calm, were the same.

Xiang Shanmo then said, "But how exactly did Su Yue do it? This is too..."

Li Ou began to explain: "Actually..." His throat was a bit hoarse due to the previous tension, but he immediately cleared his throat and continued: "Actually, Su Yue must have made relevant preparations..."

"These dummies must be what he prepared. The sound of metal colliding earlier was likely related to him hiding these dummies."

"He quickly prepared the dummies and applied makeup to a few of them..."

"This is how this situation was created."

Jia Ping nodded in sudden realization and said, "If I weren't watching the live broadcast, if I were personally in the situation, I'm afraid I would never have figured out the reason."

"This Su Yue... could he actually foresee such a situation happening?"

But Li Ou continued, "It's not just that."

This time, even A Qi looked at Li Ou: "Not just that?"

Li Ou's expression was solemn. He continued, "The provocative words he said on the broadcast were actually meaningless."

"That is to say, Su Yue was deliberately attracting Song Wen's attention..."

"Otherwise, the roll call would likely continue."

"After all, we cannot rule out the possibility that Su Yue was using these dummies as disguises."

Upon hearing Li Ou's words, the entire temporary command post fell silent.

The feeling Su Yue gave them was called unfathomable calculation.

...

At this moment, Su Yue was in the corridor of the fire escape.

He naturally knew that the other party had surveillance cameras, so he wouldn't choose to show himself easily.

However, since he had arrived at this building a day in advance, he had already thought of this kind of thing.

But even so, Su Yue's current situation was in extreme crisis.

To complete this series of almost impossible operations, he had expended a large amount of physical strength.

Moreover, when the sun rose tomorrow during the day, regardless of whether Song Wen won or lost, from Song Wen's perspective, he would be in an unbeatable position.

Therefore, Su Yue had to achieve the greatest reversal within these five hours.

What was happening now was just the prelude.

All preparations were complete; now this feast should come to an end!

Time passed minute by minute, but Su Yue seemed to have evaporated from the earth, completely disappearing without a trace.

Since he had broadcast that sarcastic remark throughout the entire building, he had not shown up again nor said a word.

Although the waiting process was boring, the enthusiasm of the viewers in the live stream room did not diminish. They were still looking forward to the conclusion of the event.

They hoped that the morning sun would bring news of victory, hoping to see Su Yue have the last laugh.

Unbeknownst to them, the bullet screen in the live stream room no longer asked "Where did Su Yue go?" or "What exactly happened?", but instead uniformly scrolled "Su Yue will win."

They firmly believed that Su Yue could win and looked forward to this live broadcast ending with Song Wen's defeat.

However, everyone knew clearly that even if Su Yue won, Song Wen might not actually release the hostages.

This thought became even firmer after they had witnessed the hostages' pale, exhausted faces for five hours.

At five fifteen in the morning, almost every room in the entire building had been searched, but still nothing was found.

He contacted Ming Yu many times, asking if any trace of Su Yue had been found, but the answer was always negative.

Just then, Song Wen's phone rang. It was a call from one of his subordinates.

Song Wen's spirits lifted. He answered the phone and asked, "Did you find him?"

However, the other party replied, "Director, did Xiang Yu and Zhang Gui return to the fortieth floor? Why can't I find them here?"

Song Wen was startled upon hearing this. He scanned the fortieth-floor hall with his gaze, his expression becoming sharper.

However, he regretfully found that his two subordinates, Xiang Yu and Zhang Gui, had not returned to the fortieth floor.

Could it be... Su Yue had started to act?

Song Wen hurriedly asked, "When did they go missing?"

The other party replied, "It's been a long time... I thought they were just resting in other rooms, but..."

Hearing this, Song Wen gritted his teeth, hung up the phone, and then called each floor one by one.

However, ten minutes later, he was shocked to discover... people were missing on almost every floor!

He originally had eighty people, but now only less than thirty remained!

They had disappeared without a sound!

How is this possible!?

Song Wen's heart was filled with shock. He immediately called Ming Yu.

However, Ming Yu's phone went unanswered. How is this possible!?

He widened his eyes, and the shock kept pounding his heart.

He knew Ming Yu's skills; the person he trusted most was Ming Yu, but how could this happen at this time...

Song Wen's heart was filled with shock and confusion. He stood up, pointed at the two people in front of him, and said, "Follow me up!"

He hurriedly led his people upstairs, the anger and resentment in his heart already uncontrollable.
