"I warn you, if you dare to touch me, I won't be polite to you!"
Seeing Old K's lecherous hand reaching out with bad intentions, Situ Yan said coldly!
She feared Old K searching her, not just to avoid his defilement, but more importantly, she feared he would find the gun, which would be dangerous!
"Haha, you're scaring me? I've been licking blood off a knife's edge for so many years, played with all kinds of women, but never touched a Chinese female action officer. Do you think I'm afraid to touch you?"
Situ Yan's face turned ashen. Seeing Old K's filthy hand almost on her, she immediately performed a swift takedown, pinning him down fiercely, then, with a shoulder throw, slammed him hard onto the ground!
"Bang!" In the silent hall, it sounded like a sandbag hitting the floor. Old K went down head-first, causing the shivering hostages to glance back in shock.
"Damn it, bitch, you're looking for death!" Old K angrily got up, exclaiming furiously!
He had suffered a significant loss earlier at Feng Yueji's hands and was already furious. Now getting bested by a female action officer, he naturally exploded in rage!
At once, Old K pulled out a gun, ready to shoot Situ Yan!
"Enough!" Suddenly, Ta Kun's indifferent voice came from the side, halting Old K's violent actions.
He too was displeased now. With things progressing in the most favorable direction for him, how could he let Old K's lack of patience ruin major plans?
"Yes, Young Master Ta Kun!" Instantly, Old K resentfully lowered the AK-47 aimed at Situ Yan's head.
"Chinese bitch, remember, I'll make sure you suffer!" Old K said with a grim voice, retreating with gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Old L had already checked the large bag of money, and spoke to Ta Kun: "Young Master Ta Kun, the money is fine."
Ta Kun nodded. Ten million Chinese Yuan, not a small sum nor too large, would be enough to redeem himself upon return.
"Ta Kun, I'm here and so is the money, can you release the hostages now?" Situ Yan asked coldly.
"Not yet, but I promise you, once the helicopter arrives and we safely leave, I won't harm a single hair on these people, with the condition—that you accompany us for a while. I assume you wouldn't refuse, right?" Ta Kun said with a sly smile.
Take her abroad?
This was Situ Yan's first thought upon hearing it, making her heart sink instantly!
Yet she gritted her teeth and remained silent.
As time ticked by, the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly heavy and oppressive.
Blood from Geng Jinsheng's thigh had pooled onto the floor, filling the entire hall with a strong stench of blood.
Several lavishly dressed female hostages, out of prolonged tension and fear, repeatedly wet their pants, making the room a deplorable mess with a foul smell.
Meanwhile, below the Longyu Building, tensions were high. Not only were leaders from the action department on site, but even senior city officials had arrived upon hearing the news!
After a meeting, these high-ranking officials decided it was crucial to prioritize the safety of the hostages. Xu Weiguo personally called the special department, requesting a helicopter to be rushed to the scene.
Simultaneously, additional snipers were discreetly deployed around the building, ensuring they could take down Ta Kun's team when they boarded the helicopter!
Upstairs, Ta Kun checked his watch and muttered to himself: "It's about time, where's the helicopter we requested? Do they think I, Ta Kun, am a vegetarian and won't kill?"
With that, he brandished his handgun again, causing the hostages to scream in fear, scrambling to the corners, afraid they'd be the next victim!
"Don't shoot! Trust me, the helicopter will arrive soon!" Situ Yan stepped forward, speaking sternly!
At this moment, Situ Yan knew the room was rigged with bombs, so even with a concealed gun, she didn't dare to act recklessly!
"Then hurry and call your superiors, tell them to speed up! My patience is limited, these people's lives are in their hands, not mine!" Ta Kun said coldly.
Situ Yan had no choice but to pick up Geng Jinsheng's phone, just about to call Xu Weiguo below.
Right at that moment, the sound of helicopter rotors thundered from outside, and everyone turned towards the half-floor-to-ceiling windows!
A special action department's armed Zhi-8 helicopter appeared, like a giant dragonfly, majestically flying in their direction.
The bright lights on its body made it look like a flying fortress!
The hostages finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they had escaped death, while Old K and the others displayed smiles of relief.
"Not bad, very punctual! Now tell your colleagues below to land the helicopter just outside this window, ensuring we can board from here!" Ta Kun said with a satisfied smile to Situ Yan.
"What? You want to board from here?" Situ Yan exclaimed in surprise!
She hadn't expected Ta Kun to be so cunning, planning to board in mid-air!
This way, her colleagues on the ground could do nothing against them!
Even with snipers in ambush, in such a night-time high-altitude scenario with obstructed vision, precise shooting was impossible!
If Ta Kun truly commandeered the helicopter, the consequences would be vast, beyond what the entire action department could bear!
"Isn't that clear enough?" Ta Kun said coldly, glancing at Situ Yan.
Situ Yan gritted her teeth, clenching her fists in frustration!
Just then, a few hostages by the wall urged her: "Hurry up! Why are you hesitating? Just agree to their demands! Old Geng is about to die, can't you see?"
"You're the action chief, your duty is to ensure our safety. I'm telling you, if anything happens to me, my husband won't let you go!"
"Damn it, call them now! If I lose a single hair, I'll find a way to strip you of that uniform!"
Humans are selfish, and this is especially evident in dangerous situations.
The hostages finally saw hope for rescue, and Situ Yan's hesitation at such a critical moment led to their panic!
Situ Yan, under pressure, had no choice but to despairingly call Xu Weiguo, relaying Ta Kun's demands.
The leaders were shocked upon hearing, not expecting Ta Kun to be so insidious!
But they couldn't agree to such demands!
This incident had already caused severe repercussions, with the action department compromising by deploying people and resources. If Ta Kun were to escape, where would the face of Binhai officials and the action department be?
"Xiao Yan, you must find a way to stall them, best if they walk towards the window themselves. We've ambushed snipers, striving to eliminate them before they take control of the helicopter!" Xu Weiguo's low voice came through the phone.
Situ Yan forced a bitter smile; Xu XX and the others didn't understand the situation above. Ta Kun wasn't that stupid; the entire hall was rigged with bombs. Even if snipers could take out one or two, the end result would be mutual destruction!
Yet she couldn't openly say this, with Ta Kun watching her from behind. Just as she was about to hint to Xu Weiguo, an ear-piercing gunshot rang out, followed by the terrified screams of the hostages!
Situ Yan whipped around, witnessing Ta Kun shooting and killing another hostage!
He sneered at Situ Yan: "Just say a simple word, not waste so much time. Trying to play tricks? Fine, I'll teach you the consequences of disobedience!"
Saying that, Ta Kun personally stood up, grabbing the lifeless body of the unfortunate hostage, dragging it to the window. He shot the large half-floor-to-ceiling window, then flung the corpse out forcefully!
Seconds after the body dropped, even from the top floor of the tall building, Situ Yan could hear the gasps from the countless crowds below!
Enraged, Situ Yan trembled, glaring at Ta Kun, while Xu Weiguo's furious voice finally came through the phone: "Xiao Yan, tell them to stop killing hostages, we agree to their demands. We'll send the helicopter over now!"
"Xu XX, they have bombs, don't act recklessly..."
This was the only thing Situ Yan could say, to protect the remaining hostages from harm, her tone filled with futility.
