262 The Anger Of The Crowd

The Chief of Police got up and was about to go look for Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi when the SWAT team leader said, “Chief, the other party has requested that they send the person in within ten minutes. Otherwise, they will kill a hostage every minute.”

The Chief of Police looked even more grave as he left. Soon afterwards, he invited Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi into the temporary command post.

The Chief of Police said, “One of the kidnappers just came out and asked for you two in exchange for the children in the kindergarten.”

“I’ll go. As long as I can get Zhaoyang out, I’ll do anything,” Ming Liuyi immediately said.

Yao Zizhou frowned and did not say anything.

Where exactly did this group come from? Their purpose was clear: They were targeting Yao Zizhou, Ming Liuyi, and their child. Thus, even if Ming Liuyi and Yao Zizhou went inside, Yao Zhaoyang would not come out.

When the Chief of Police saw Yao Zizhou’s expression, he said, “Mr. Yao, don’t worry. We will ensure that you and your wife stay safe.”

Yao Zizhou had no faith in the Chief of Police’s words, but he had no other way.

“I will go in, but I want to carry a gun,” said Yao Zizhou.

The Chief of Police hesitated. Firearms had always been strictly controlled. If Yao Zizhou went in to be taken as a hostage, and the kidnappers found out that he carried a gun with him, it was likely to cause even more trouble.

The Chief of Police said, “Mr. Yao, you know the rules about firearms. Besides, you’re going in to exchange hostages. If you’re discovered to be armed by the kidnappers, your lives will be in danger—”

Yao Zizhou waved his hand and cut off the Chief of Police, saying, “I understand what you’re saying. But please have faith in me.”

Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou worriedly. Ming Liuyi had read his story, so she knew that Yao Zizhou was very good at firearms and combat. But this was different. They did not even know what kind of person the criminals were.

Moreover, their son was still inside. If anything happened, what would happen to Yao Zhaoyang?

“Zizhou, let’s listen to the chief,” Ming Liuyi said.

Yao Zizhou shook his head. If he could not bring a weapon in, he would not be able to resist at all and would die for sure. Moreover, the robbers had brazenly made such a request. Yao Zizhou had already guessed who had sent them.

The Chief of Police was in a difficult position and did not know what to say.

“How about this? You don’t have to worry about what I bring, but my wife will not go in,” said Yao Zizhou.

Ming Liuyi grabbed Yao Zizhou’s arm, feeling even more worried.

“Alright, Mr. Yao. You’d better wear this bulletproof vest,” said the Chief of Police awkwardly. Yao Zizhou shook his head. He felt that it would be futile to put it on.

“He’s right, Zizhou, put it on,” Ming Liuyi said from the side.

After arranging everything, Yao Zizhou took a pistol from one of his bodyguards. Ming Liuyi followed closely behind him, still wanting to go inside with him.

“Dear, if we both go in, it’s very likely that we won’t be able to come out,” said Yao Zizhou.

“We’re family, I won’t let you go in alone,” Ming Liuyi said.

Yao Zizhou gently patted Ming Liuyi’s forehead and said, “Dear, do you trust me?”

Ming Liuyi nodded. Of course, she trusted him. From the time the two of them got together until now, Yao Zizhou had never disappointed her. But this time was different. It was too dangerous, and she could not let him face it alone.

“Dear, I’ll go in first. If I don’t succeed, then you can come in and save me,” Yao Zizhou said with a smile.

Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou’s serious expression and knew that she could not be unreasonable at this time.

“Zizhou, you must pay attention to your safety, and bring Zhaoyang home,” she said.

Yao Zizhou nodded, reassuring her. Then, he turned around and walked inside.

…

Ray’s phone rang. Ten minutes had passed, and Ray was about to kill someone.

But at that moment, Yao Zizhou walked into the building. Ray saw that it was just him, and his eyes were filled with anger. How could these people not understand such a simple request?

“I’m the only one here. Let’s negotiate,” said Yao Zizhou.

Ray tilted his head and looked at Yao Zizhou. He dares to spout such nonsense when his life is in danger?

“Where is that woman?” Ray asked. “Ask her to come in at once.”

Yao Zizhou found a chair and sat down calmly.

“You’re after my family,” said Yao Zizhou. “Now that I’m here, let everyone out.”

Ray looked at Yao Zizhou with contempt. He knew that Yao Zizhou was the CEO of Yao Corporation, but at this moment, the cards were in his hands.

“Mr. Yao, you’d better do as I say. Otherwise, no one here will be leaving!” Ray said.
