That evening, as usual, Lin Fan rode his electric scooter back to Yujing District.
As a high-end residential area, most people here co and go in luxury cars, so soone riding a shabby electric scooter is quite rare, making Lin Fan particularly conspicuous. Every ti he appears in the community, he attracts strange looks from the residents.
Not many good words co out of their mouths.
"Look, isn’t that the poor son-in-law of the Wei Family?"
"It’s really baffling, isn’t it? Wei Qingxue has such good conditions, looks so beautiful, how blind must she be to fall for a delivery guy."
"I agree, can’t understand it, but this seems to be none of our business, it’s their choice!"
"How is it not our business? This guy’s existence lowers the standard of our community; we are a high-end residential area, and we have such a pauper living here..."
"The Wei Family may not find it shaful, but I certainly do!"
Lin Fan hears these remarks every day, and after hearing them enough, he has gotten used to it.
Let them talk; these people are just gonna eat their own words. Whether Lin Fan chooses to respond to them depends on his mood.
Lin Fan pretended not to hear, riding his beloved little electric scooter through the community.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of a building; it turned out a group of residents had gathered in front of a convenience store, sothing seed to have happened.
"Oh my god, that person is crazy, how could he not even spare a little girl!"
"Poor little girl, what if sothing happens to her?"
"Hope the little girl is okay, but the situation doesn’t look good!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
At the sa ti, a police car was parked outside the convenience store.
A few police officers lined up, one of them holding a gaphone, shouting towards the inside of the store.
"Suspect inside, listen up, the police have surrounded you. We hope you surrender imdiately, and release the hostage. Resisting will do you no good."
The officer shouted, but there was no response from inside the store, no one spoke.
However, the frightened cries of a little girl could be heard.
It seed soone inside had taken a little girl hostage!
An auntie, likely a relative of the little girl, knelt on the ground crying desperately, her face full of fear, "You heartless one, let go of my granddaughter, please don’t hurt her!"
At this mont, another police car arrived.
A beautiful female officer got out of the car.
Lin Fan recognized her, it was Loli!
"Captain Luo!"
Seeing Loli arrive, the officers visibly relaxed, as if their savior had finally arrived.
Loli asked, "What’s the situation?"
The officer who had been shouting explained, "Here’s what happened, today we received a tip-off about illegal activities in this area. Our colleagues ca to investigate and indeed found the suspect. When the suspect was discovered, he panicked and fled, chased into this convenience store where he took a little girl hostage."
Loli frowned; taking a little girl hostage is a serious matter that must not go wrong.
"Besides the little girl, is there anyone else inside?" Loli asked.
The officer responded, "The convenience store clerk is also inside."
Loli asked, "Does the suspect have weapons?"
"He has a knife," the officer replied. "Moreover, he’s quite skilled, our team couldn’t catch him, and he managed to run into the store. Now that he has taken hostages, we don’t dare to rush in for fear of harming them."
Loli muttered, "Skillful, huh? This complicates things."
Typically, hostage situations require special forces intervention, and snipers may be deployed to ensure the safety of the hostages.
But now the suspect was inside the convenience store, making it difficult for snipers to aim from outside.
"Cops outside, listen up, I’ll give you 10 seconds. Drop your guns and back up 300 ters. Follow my orders, I have two people here; killing one is no big deal!"
A man’s voice ca from the store, the suspect was speaking up.
Loli took the gaphone and said, "Suspect inside, I’m Officer Luo in charge here. I hope you don’t harm the hostages!"
The man chuckled, "So it’s a female cop, do as I say obediently!"
Loli said, "No problem, you can co out now."
She was eager for him to co out because once he was out the door, the special forces could handle it, aiming and potentially shooting him.
The man sneered, "Don’t play tricks on . If I see a gun when I co out, the little girl dies imdiately!"
The officers looked to Loli, waiting for her decision.
Loli didn’t hesitate, "Do as he says!"
The officers threw their guns down and retreated, indeed moving back 300 ters.
Loli also backed away, calling out to the store, "Suspect inside, we’ve put down our guns and retreated as you demanded. You can co out now."
But there was silence inside, with no suspect appearing.
Loli frowned and said, "Suspect inside, we’ve done as you asked, you can co out now. Can you hear ?"
"Hmph!"
An angry grunt ca from inside, "You think you can fool , female cop? You all are up to sothing, don’t think you can trick into coming out!"
Loli was sweating, "You’re overthinking it. We only want the hostages safe, really no other intentions. You can co out assured."
The man said, "I believe you, liar. You’re full of bad ideas, probably got bullets ready for . As soon as I step out, I’ll be sniped. Don’t think I haven’t seen cop movies?"
The man’s anger grew, "Outrageous, you cops are too despicable. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this situation. I was just selling so fake goods; why do you care!"
"You want to save the hostages, huh? I won’t let you succeed, I’ll kill a hostage first, this little girl it is!"
"Crying, huh, so annoying. Keep crying, and I’ll send you to King Yama right away."
Hearing that, the auntie kneeling on the ground was scared stiff.
Loli was anxious; this suspect was very agitated, likely hard to control. She urgently wanted to rush in and stop him.
But she couldn’t do that; the risk was too great.
Just then, suddenly, soone beside moved swiftly, like an arrow off the string, darting into the convenience store, doing exactly what Loli wanted to.
"What’s he doing?"
"What just happened, who rushed in?"
"Oh my!"
Everyone was shocked; Lin Fan rushing in at this ti was bound to end badly for him.
Moreover, Lin Fan was unard, while the other had a knife; Lin Fan was no match, essentially putting his life on the line.
In contrast to others, Loli’s face showed surprise and delight.
Though the rush was quick, she recognized imdiately that Lin Fan was the one who had darted into the store!
As Lin Fan rushed in, an angry man’s voice ca from the store, "You actually dare to co in... ah!"
He had begun cursing Lin Fan when it suddenly turned into a scream of agony.
