Ten minutes later, the EC-135 helicopter, as required by the Wolf King, landed on the shopping mall rooftop. Wary of any unexpected developnts, the Wolf King had his n get handcuffs from the police and secured Luo Zheng. Three people escorted Luo Zheng up to the rooftop in the elevator. As for everyone else, they were ordered to stay put. Lan Xue, fearing that there might still be Wolf King's n among the crowd, dared not retaliate and could only watch helplessly as the elevator doors closed, gritting her teeth in anger.
After reaching the rooftop, the Wolf King had his subordinates check the helicopter. Once he was satisfied that everything was in order, he let out a sigh of relief and said to Luo Zheng, sowhat smugly, "As far as I know, this is a helicopter you purchased less than a month ago. My gain. It has a maximum range of 735 kiloters, a maximum cruising altitude of 6160 ters, and an endurance of 3.5 hours, enough for us to leave Beijing. Find a place to refuel halfway, and we can leave the country."
"Impressive, a well-thought-out plan, isn't it?" Luo Zheng sneered.
"You flatter . Now, please board the helicopter. Do not attempt to resist. Just to let you know, there are over ten of my brothers in the crowd, equipped with a lot of explosives. If anything happens to , they will turn the mall into a battlefield. Believe it or not, it's up to you," the Wolf King said coldly, resolving in his heart that once they were out of the country, he would eliminate Luo Zheng without rcy to avenge his fallen comrades.
Luo Zheng knew the Wolf King had no need to lie to him. He was shoved onto the helicopter by the other two n. At this point, he had to play it by ear. If all else failed, he was prepared for the worst. Once on the helicopter, Luo Zheng noted that there were seven seats, so he found one to sit down in, while the other two sat opposite, cautiously watching him.
The Wolf King climbed into the cockpit and personally piloted the helicopter, ascending into the sky. After making a turn in the air, he flew in one direction. Luo Zheng looked at the sun outside and realized they were flying northwest. The border there was long, chaotic, and wracked with constant warfare, intersecting with several countries. Many Special Forces from different countries trained there, rcenaries made their fortunes, and it was a haven for hunting, smuggling, and drug trafficking. Escaping the country in this direction was indeed ideal. With that thought, Luo Zheng decided to close his eyes to rest, lulling his opponents, while simultaneously thinking of ways to escape.
In the mall hall, the hostages began to evacuate. To avoid any accidents, Lan Xue did not dare to screen the hostages for the killer among them, for fear of provoking a drastic action. The situation had escalated to a point of no return. If fighting broke out again, who knew how many more would die? Watching the crowd hastily leave, Lan Xue's expression was so dark, it seed as though water could drip from her face.
"Captain, what's our next move?" Ghost Hand quietly approached, his expression extrely grim.
"I need my brothers' help," Lan Xue said coldly.
"No problem, I'll gather the guys," Ghost Hand readily agreed.
"Tell them the truth. I'll request permission to act from the higher-ups. If they don't agree, I'll go alone," Lan Xue said coldly, her gaze resolute.
"You think we can't see? Ghost is our brother in life and death too," Ghost Hand said with slight dissatisfaction. As a large group of people poured in, led by a few who had the air of officials, his face fell when he recognized one of them. He looked towards Lan Xue, concerned.
Lan Xue said nothing but went to et them. The leader was the deputy mayor. The deputy mayor glanced at Lan Xue and fixed a furious gaze on the head of the serious cri unit, demanding angrily, "The criminal is slaughtering the innocent, and you just let it happen? Do you deserve the police badges you wear? Do you deserve the trust that the public places in us? How should I explain this to the victims' families? Now, go organize the forces and shoot that helicopter down for ."
"Yes." The leader of the Major Case Squad saluted with a face full of sha and shouted loudly.
"Who dares?" Lan Xue coldly shouted, drawing her service pistol and angrily fixed her gaze on the deputy mayor.
"What do you an?" The deputy mayor asked sharply, with dissatisfaction in his voice, "As a national law enforcent officer, are you just going to watch those bombers get away? This is collusion, a cri."
"Don't bring your politician's tactics here and try to lecture on morality. Don't you know that we have our own people in there? He willingly beca a hostage for the sake of everyone. Do you want to kill the hostages along with them?" Lan Xue replied coldly without backing down, her expression turning frosty.
"To sacrifice oneself for the country is the honor of law enforcers. If the bombers get away, can you bear that responsibility? I have reason to suspect it was deliberate, to cover for the bombers' retreat. Are you trying to shield them?" The deputy mayor coldly demanded, implicating both Luo Zheng and Lan Xue in serious accusations.
Lan Xue, looking at the flashing cara lights around them and the deputy mayor's sinister smile, shouted coldly, pointing her gun at the deputy mayor, "Nonsense, Song Yan, aren't you just trying to use soone else to do your dirty work? Who doesn't know that the Song family wants him dead? Thinking of taking the opportunity to kill? No way, just try it, and it'll be a fight to the bitter end." She adopted a defiant stance.
Ghost Hand stepped forward as well, his gaze toward the deputy mayor like that of a hungry wolf, chilling to the bone. Brothers fighting and dying on the front lines while getting stabbed in the back was sothing no passionate soldier would ever tolerate.
For Luo Zheng, Lan Xue went all out, took a step forward, and coldly challenged, "If you dare, repeat what you just said. As long as I'm alive, not a single person from the Song family will survive. Co on, say it." Her angry eyes radiated a terrifying light, like a Soul Hooker erging from hell.
Having never witnessed such a sight, the deputy mayor, cold from fear, involuntarily took a step back and said stiffly, "What do you think you're doing? Do you want to shoot a high-ranking national official? Put down your gun."
"Xue Er." A voice ca from the side—it was Song Yun, who had been revived by others. Stepping forward quickly, she looked at Lan Xue sowhat awkwardly and pleaded earnestly, "Please don't be rash, okay? I know you care about him, and he even saved my life. I don't want this, but have you thought about it? He suffered a terrible kidnapping by the bombers and ultimately could not escape death. Can you bear the thought of him being humiliated before he dies? Let it go. Being able to die along with the bombers, I believe he would be very happy. It would be a release for him. Don't you want him to leave this world happily? After this, I will go down and apologize to him, say it was my request, and accompany him. What about you?"
Lan Xue fiercely turned her gaze to Song Yun, her red eyes full of rage, like rolling molten lava, and said coldly, "I've told you, you're not from our world, you don't understand us. On what basis do you say he is going to die? How do you know he has no way out?"
"But?" Song Yun, facing Lan Xue's terrifying murderous intent for the first ti, found her breath catching, imdiately chilled with fear.
"No buts. He can die because he is a soldier, but he must never be allowed to die at the hands of his own people." Lan Xue coldly declared, turned again toward the deputy mayor, and demanded, "Song Yan, withdraw your order imdiately."
