Chapitre 12: What I'm Afraid of Comes
Éditeur: Henyee Translations
"How are the other departments? Are they in place?"
At this moment, Chief Zhang was rushing over. As he asked, the young police officer reported the movements of all the departments.
"Chief Zhang, the armed police have mobilized all their forces and are already near Yida Square."
"All the traffic police officers have been mobilized. They have already intercepted and controlled the streets within a five-kilometer radius of Yida Square."
"In addition, the SWAT team has also mobilized a police force of thirty people. The car is behind us."
"By the way, Chief Zhang…" At this point, the young police officer paused and found it difficult to speak.
Zhang Zhenghuai had a bad feeling and urged, "Tell me, why are you still hesitating at a time like this?"
The young police officer continued, "Chief Zhang, the media seems to have found out about the criminal incident at Yida Square. The higher-ups just called the police station to ask about the situation…"
"Alright, I understand."
Zhang Zhenghuai's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like the matter had blown up.
As soon as he switched off the intercom, his phone rang.
He picked it up and took a look. As expected, speaking of the devil, the devil had arrived.
"Hello, Leader…"
Before Zhang Zhenghuai could finish speaking, a heavy questioning voice came from the phone.
"Chief Zhang, I heard that someone was killed in the robbery at the gold shop in Yida Square?"
Zhang Zhenghuai paused for a moment before saying, "Leader, our patrolling police officers have already arrived at the scene."
At this moment, Zhang Zhenghuai could only hope that Zhou Xiaoxiao could properly appease the criminals and not cause any trouble.
"Is that so? I'm already on my way to Yida Square. I hope that when I arrive at the scene, you can hand over a perfect answer sheet to the people of Hibiscus City…"
The higher-ups only spoke in a calm tone. At this moment, Zhang Zhenghuai felt a chill run down his spine, and a few beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.
"Old Zhang, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Zhenghuai swallowed his saliva and said firmly, "Leader, don't worry. I, Zhang Zhenghuai, have been a police officer for so many years. I won't let a stain appear in Hibiscus City. I will definitely resolve it properly."
Upon hearing this, the leader on the phone chuckled and said, "That's good. See you at Yida Square later!"
"Alright, Leader. See you later."
The higher-ups emphasized the last word. The meaning was very obvious.
He wanted Zhang Zhenghuai to deal with the criminals and control this matter before the leaders and media friends arrived.
After hanging up, Zhang Zhenghuai wiped the sweat off his forehead. Before he could catch his breath, he immediately made a few more calls.
He was under a lot of pressure. The fact that the leader wanted to personally come to the scene was enough to show how important this matter was to Hibiscus City.
"Hey, Deputy Captain Chen, I order you to immediately get your comrades ready for battle."
"Roger that, Chief Zhang!"
"Hey, Old Zhou, this matter is a little serious. Give me some face and let your comrades in the Criminal Police Unit perk up."
"Don't worry, Old Zhang. I've already heard that the mayor is coming personally. I've already instructed them."
"Hey, Mr. Xie, is there a sniper in the SWAT team you deployed this time? If necessary, you can kill the criminal."
"Don't worry, Chief Zhang. Although there aren't many people here, they're all elites. I'll make the arrangements now."
…
Zhang Zhenghuai made a few calls in a row. He was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat.
The police officer driving had never seen such an expression on the chief's face before. He stepped on the accelerator to the limit of the convoy. It could be said that he took advantage of every opportunity and was as fast as lightning.
Not long after, Yida Square appeared in front of him.
Zhang Zhenghuai's eyes lit up. "We're finally here!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go to the gold shop!"
Just as Zhang Zhenghuai gave the order, the walkie-talkie in the car transmitted the news that the various departments were in place.
"Chief Zhang, our colleagues at the police station have dispersed the crowd. Everyone is on guard and waiting for your instructions!"
"Reporting to Chief Zhang, the armed police team has already controlled all the exits of Gate 2. Do you want to forcefully break in and rescue the hostages?"
"Reporting to the Chief, the comrades from the Criminal Police Headquarters have entered the interior of Yida Mall through the side door and blocked off the criminals' escape route. Please give further instructions!"
"Reporting to the leader, the sniper from the special police unit has arrived at the high ground opposite the mall. Currently, there are no traces of the criminals. Please instruct us on the next step!"
Hm?
'What happened?'
Where were the criminals and Zhou Xiaoxiao?
Hearing this, Zhang Zhenghuai frowned and looked up at the gold shop on the other side of the road.
Just as he was puzzled, the anxious voice of the police officer guarding the headquarters sounded from the walkie-talkie.
"Chief Zhang, the situation has changed!"
When he heard this, Zhang Zhenghuai felt as if he had stepped into the air. His heart was in his throat.
The police officer on the walkie-talkie continued to report, "Chief Zhang, just now, a crowd said that three minutes ago, the criminals kidnapped a policewoman and three hostages and have already headed towards South Street in the direction of Gate 1."
"What? Hurry up and inform everyone to turn around and go to South Street!"
"Yes!"
Turning off the walkie-talkie, Zhang Zhenghuai was like an ant on a hot pan.
What he was afraid of came true!
"I hope Comrade Zhou Xiaoxiao can hold on!"
Zhang Zhenghuai's palms were already sweating.
The higher-ups were already on their way here. They would probably arrive at the scene soon.
Now that the situation had changed, Zhang Zhenghuai was a little anxious.
But years of experience quickly calmed him down.
It was imperative to seize every minute and every second. It was imperative to keep abreast of the latest developments of the criminals.
"There are so many police officers here today. All the old friends from the various departments are here. If anything happens, I won't be able to be the chief anymore!"
Fortunately, they only needed to turn a corner to reach Gate 1.
Zhang Zhenghuai wanted to contact Zhou Xiaoxiao again to understand the situation so that he could deal with it urgently.
On second thought, if the sound of the walkie-talkie alarmed the criminals and made them feel threatened, it would be even more troublesome if they went berserk.
"Xiao Li, drive faster!"
Zhang Zhenghuai had no choice but to continue urging the police officer, Xiao Li, who was driving.
Sensing the urgency in the chief's words, Li Er did not say anything else. He just drifted into Yida South Road.
Zhang Zhenghuai stepped on the accelerator and grabbed the handle tightly. Not only did he not blame Xiao Li, but he also wished he could speed up.
Not long after, the police convoy led by Chief Zhang arrived not far from Gate 1.
"Chief Zhang, look, it's the criminal and hostages!"
