[Holy shit! I know Province N is notorious but this is too lawless, right?]
[Yeah, they have no regard for whatever the law and the system.]
[Now is not the ti to quarrel about law and order. The girl's life is at stake. Imdiately inform the police. We do what we can at the mont.]
[By the way, ask Alan and his wife to calm down and stay away from the scenes. I suspect it's the gang's action.]
[Yes, sir and madam, please calm down and stay safe.]
[Agreed, sir and madam, please calm down and stay safe. Think about yourself before helping others. I don't recomnd touching the reverse scales of these gangs.]
However, the couple had no ti to pay attention to the barrage and burned their brains thinking of solutions. As for why not contemplate the reason people in the surroundings weren't reaching out, they understood.
Most would help, but no one liked troubles to co to their families and endangering lives. They were more afraid of the aftermath than the current gangs. While citizens played by book and acted appropriately under the law, gangsters were unruly and would never think about fairness.
The funny aspect was ordinary people received punishnt if they broke rules but these gangs didn't pay attention. Even police were scared to touch them. Good people always suffered. Sotis, under a weak system, rules rely constrain good ones.
"Everyone, please pressure the authority. We really don't have ti. Even the license plate is missing. These bastards are already prepared." Alan told the barrage.
"Should we follow and inform the police?" Li Bing asked, unsure.
Alan shook his head. He didn't know much about the gangs' influence but he guessed the dangers. If he followed his wife's words, they were endangering their own family.
Perhaps, the couple might be okay but the in-law would face retaliation, which was not what the couple wanted.
[Hey, chase them! We must bring justice. Evil will never win.]
[Are you three years old, upstairs? Your words are bringing harm to the anchor and his family. What will we do if sothing goes wrong? Are you going to be responsible?]
Naturally, there were idiots in the audience; fortunately, sane people made up Alan's fan list to refute for him and not bring him additional pressure. There were also so who ca up with appropriate solutions.
"Should I stay here and wait till they disappear, or keep driving?" Li Bing asked again.
"Just keep driving normally and reduce speed," Alan advised and sighed, in distress. The happiness of anticipating to et relatives extinguished. "I just hope my live broadcast can serve as evidence to help the relevant authorities."
Of course, many fans of his had already alerted the authorities. Calling from different areas stunned the officials. After all, sotis, the call reaching other provinces for Province N complicated business.
However, the ergency call center had to placate its citizens and inform them that they were acting soon. As for how long or would the rescue make it in ti, everyone dared not think.
Also, Alan's followers and fa increased with the current video tracking the rare mont, but that was all for the latter.
Just when Li Bing was about to move, a loud honk blared from behind. It was continuous, nonstop.
The couple was unsure what the vehicle was doing, but it sure was getting nearer and nearer. The two wondered if the driver was staging a rescue but their hopes vanished as they saw it was another van.
Both went speechless, including the audience on the screen, thinking the gangs had reinforcent.
While their attentions were drawn toward the source of the horn, probably including the gang's vehicle, which just carried away the girl, an ear-piercing tire screech rang to the front of their car.
Li Bing and Alan, as well as the audience, were curious. The lens and eyes saw another black van blocking the gang's vehicle.
A few less than a dozen black figures erged out of the van, rushing toward the gang. They had firearms in their hands. Their movent seed natural and fluid.
As the onlookers processed the rapid unfolding of the event, the realization set in when they saw the distinctive white label of 'POLICE' and specialized uniform. The helts and visors along with bulletproof vests showed they weren't easy to ss with.
Li Bing and Alan clapped their hands, shouting—well done. It's perfect timing. The audience was also in a similar mood. They were glad authorities arrived so quick before they understood the police were already waiting.
[We're witnessing the rescue operation with our own eyes.]
[This mont must enter the world record in public eyes of rescue.]
[They look like a special team.]
Boom!
A loud yet small explosion like a tire burst scared everyone. Li Bing and Alan lowered their body, only their eyes exposed above the dashboard. However, his phone still stood tall, recording the important mont.
[Damn! What was that explosion? Is that gunfire?]
[I don't think so. It shouldn't be this loud. Anyone?]
[Don't worry, the officer shoots at the tire to prevent escape.]
[I see, that makes sense. I was so terrified that I almost threw away my precious phone.]
[Haha! It's a good ti to joke but the girl isn't saved yet.]
Soon, a taller one smashed the driver's window. The shattering sound directly impacted the couple's ears even if their car's windows were up.
A few viewers on the screen noticed the van trying to resist the officers' capture.
[Shit gangster! What can you do when you match the real foe?]
[They still dared to resist in front of firearms. Do they think officers don't dare to shoot?]
[Of course, police dare not. They have so many follow-ups and regulations, strictly monitoring them. Fortunately, the act of breaking the window probably frightens the gang mbers inside.]
Of course, these discussions didn't happen at the sa ti as the rescue process went on but showed up later.
Soon, the couple saw another breaking the window with a bare elbow to open the slider door and the officer succeeded. Alan only mouthed: "Wow! This one even clears away the debrises hanging with a bare arm. By the way, I heard female voices among the officers."
"Of course, woman can do the sa thing." Li Bing said proudly.

Alan shut up and nodded, no matter how he thought in his mind. People watched a few officers enter the van, which shook its body laterally. Many eyes imagined the violent scene and heroic rescue.
However, the view was covered by another van, which was doing the loud honking, stopping behind the suspect's vehicle, unloading new officers to help.
Another realization dawned on many people: so, these officers were rushing here by honking.
After a while, one of the officers in black tactical clothing carried the little girl to safety. Alan and Li Bing cheered loudly and hugged each other as if they were the ones doing rescue work.
Many behaved the sa. The online viewers weren't spared. Those who had no one around patted their own bodies in joy. Humanity surged inside.
The kidnappers were forcefully dragged out of the van. Their hands bound behind their backs and secured with plastic cuffs. Their heads covered in black hoods. The vehicle blocking the gangs beca a temporary holding cell as the perpetrators were tossed inside one by one.
When two adults hugged with a teenage girl, applause rang. 'Awwnn!' fawns after fawns appeared in the broadcast barrage. Alan and Li Bing sighed in relief and happiness. No one needed to bear the guilt of doing nothing against tyranny, soothing everyone's survivor's guilt psychology.
The celebratory atmosphere was disrupted by the wails of police siren approaching. No one cared as long as people were alive and well. The short rare rescue was staged and recorded.
This was no drill, not training, but a reality. Even though Alan had never seen one, he was sure, the unfolded rescue was definitely one of the smoothest and fastest operations, a testimony to the officers' training and wills.
[By the way, aren't these officers familiar?]
[Now that soone says so, I'm sure that is probably the truth. One thinks might not be accurate. But two? I also feel the sa, who else?]
[Yep, we sure know. When it happens because it's all so sudden, I didn't realize or have no ti. But, the helt with a visor is a sure tell-tale sign.]
[Exactly, above, there's only one unit and the one that is also famous recently in Province N. The brave officers who cracked down on notorious terrorists a few weeks ago, ranking the top in national headlines. They fought fiercely against hundreds and hundreds of criminals upfront.]
[Woah, then, these guys are amazing. But how on earth are you sure this is the sa unit. Helt with a visor shouldn't, right?]
[I think upstairs doesn't know, ard police and special forces in our country don't bother to wear helts with visors like those in Alyssia. They were thought to be bulky and compromise maneuverability, which is a big no-no in a gunfight.]
[Then, why these unit in front of us wore the visors? Explain, Mr. Expert.]
[Eh?! How would I know? If I know, I won't be selling snacks on the street!]
[Pfft!]
[What! I'm working honestly and troubles no one. You got problems with selling on the street. Or are you discriminatory?]
Alan was imdiately powerless when he found his fan fighting again. They couldn't just stay still for one mont in peace. This ti, he didn't bother to diate their fight and ignored the gunpowder. He wondered if his soft action might have increased clashes within his supporting fans in order to see his consolent.
Patting his wife, Alan muttered to continue the journey and was beaten on the shoulder without rcy. Li Bing didn't hide because the lens was directed at the front. "We are now stuck. The road ahead and behind is blocked. Not to ntion, police might require our testimony."
