Capítulo 14: Chapter 14 Coldly Gorgeous Policewoman_1
Editor: Atlas Studios
At this point, the mall had been taken over by a group dressed in black and wearing black masks, and the security guards inside the mall dared not make any move under the threat of submachine guns, while the customers were squatting on the ground, faces stricken with fear.
"Number Two, Number Three, you take people to secure the second and third floors to prevent any incidents. If anyone dares to cause trouble, kill them immediately!"
The leader of the group, with a pair of eyes flickering with a chilling gleam, spoke in a cold voice.
Following the order, about a dozen people headed to the second and third floors of the mall, scanning the area with weapons, intimidating the crowds on these levels.
Meanwhile, news of the mall being held hostage by a mysterious group spread quickly to the Zhonghai police, and the chief of the Zhonghai Police Department, Hong Zhentao, immediately sensed the severity of the situation. He deployed all available law enforcement to the mall, including armed police and SWAT teams.
After all, there were hundreds of civilians in the mall, and any incident could cause a huge shockwave. He, the chief, could not bear the responsibility.
Within five minutes of the assailants taking control of the mall, police cars stopped outside, and groups of fully-armed police officers rushed out, their guns all pointed at the mall.
The area around the mall was now completely cordoned off, with hundreds of police officers, special police, and armed police, all waiting for orders to act.
Inside one of the command vehicles, the chief of the police, Hong Zhentao, Deputy Chief Yan Feng, and several command officers from the SWAT and armed police teams were all gathered.
Among this group of men was a woman in a police uniform, her tall and impeccable figure accentuated by the tight uniform. Her bronze skin, short hair, and face exuded a touch of cold detachment.
"Bing Ning, what's the situation now?"
Hong Zhentao's gaze turned to the beautiful yet detached female officer.
Yang Bingning spoke gravely, "Chief, there are about twenty criminals, all armed with powerful weapons. They have blocked all the passages of the mall, and the surveillance system has been destroyed, making it difficult for us to understand the situation inside the mall. But clearly, this is a premeditated operation."
"Indeed, Captain Yang is right. These people are too brazen, daring to commit such an act in broad daylight in Zhonghai, it's a blatant challenge to us," Deputy Chief Yan Feng said with a stern face.
"With such a commotion created and not resembling a robbery, there must be other motives. I suggest we first communicate with them to understand their intentions. Meanwhile, we should prepare for a raid and find an opportunity to enter the mall to apprehend them all," Yang Bingning said in a heavy tone.
"Good, Bing Ning, you will take full charge of this mission. All law enforcement will cooperate with your actions. Remember, I do not want any casualties in the mall; otherwise, none of us can bear the responsibility," said Hong Zhentao with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Chief!"
Yang Bingning nodded and directly stepped out of the command vehicle.
"Captain!"
At that moment, a young man in a police uniform approached, looking attentively at Yang Bingning, who still wore an expression of cold detachment.
"Assemble everyone and prepare to attack. Check if there are any other entrances to the mall we can use to get in."
"Yes, Captain." The young policeman nodded and immediately left.
The beautiful officer boldly walked towards the mall, prompting the surrounding police officers to call out anxiously, "Captain, be careful."
But Yang Bingning, fearless, stood about a dozen meters from the mall's main entrance and called out, "I am the Captain of the Zhonghai Criminal Police Team. State your intentions."
In the mall, that group of bandits heard the words of the policewoman outside and their pupils all contracted. The leader of the group approached the entrance, hiding at an angle where the snipers outside couldn't see, and spoke, "We only want Lang Kun. Without releasing Lang Kun, no one in this mall will escape today."
Outside the mall, when Yang Bingning heard the name "Lang Kun," her expression changed, and a flash of astonishment passed through her cold eyes.
"What sort of person is Lang Kun? To make this group risk taking a whole mall's people hostage just for him?"
Ye Luo, hiding on the second floor, heard the words of the gang leader, and his eyes flickered with surprise.
"It seems I've heard that name before."
At that moment, Luo Jingxuan, who was beside Ye Luo, furrowed her brows and said. Then her eyes lit up, "I remember now, there were reports on the news. He appears to be the leader of a mysterious organization trafficking in artifacts, who had just recently been captured by the Zhonghai police force. I didn't expect that these people would come for him."
"I see."
Ye Luo nodded his head, his pupils contracted, and at that moment, he activated his Clairvoyant Eye, observing the distribution of the group entirely, and understanding the situation thoroughly.
Outside the mall, in the command vehicle, when Yang Bingning communicated the gang's demand, Hong Zhentao and others all showed a change in their expressions.
"What, they've come for Lang Kun."
Hong Zhentao said, his brows deeply furrowed, and his eyes flickered with surprise.
"It seems that Lang Kun is no simple character. To think that after being captured, there are still those who would cause such a big commotion for him," Yan Feng said coldly.
"Director, what do we do now?" Yang Bingning's eyes turned towards Hong Zhentao.
"Of course we can't agree. Lang Kun is the mastermind behind many cases of artifact smuggling, which is of great significance. After expending so much effort and resources to capture him, how could we possibly let him go? Even if I agreed, the authorities above would not consent," Hong Zhentao said resolutely.
"But, judging by the attitude of this group, if we don't comply, I fear that the people inside the mall could be in danger," said Yang Bingning.
"Captain Yang, that's where you come in. Since the director has assigned this case to you, you must ensure the safety of the public. We also trust in your abilities and believe you won't disappoint us, right?"
Yan Feng looked at Yang Bingning, his expression meaningful.
"Bing Ning, if we were to launch an assault, what certainty do you have of taking down this group while ensuring the safety of the people?" Hong Zhentao's eyes turned to Yang Bingning and he spoke.
"Fifty percent,"
Yang Bingning said indifferently.
"Only fifty percent!"
Yan Feng spoke, his face bearing an odd expression.
"For now, send someone to stabilize that group. You quickly come up with an action plan, and if it doesn't work out, I'll get in touch with the military district," said Hong Zhentao.
"Yes, Director, I will complete the mission."
