Gao Shengnan refused to give in: "First try to get the gangsters to surrender. If that doesn't work, then kill them. This is our police's prescribed procedure for resolving hostage crises!"

"You didn't see the robbers' expressions. There was no sign of surrender. Girl, do you know who the robbers were? They must not be injured at all!"

"How do you know he won't surrender if you don't try?"

"You..." Zhao Dafeng was angry, thought for a while, and finally made a concession. Of course, it was not just because of Gao Shengnan's request, but because this case was too difficult. If the hostages were killed, the superiors would definitely blame him for not pressing the button.

Zhao Dafeng cannot bear the responsibility of carrying out the rescue according to the prescribed hostage rescue procedures.

"Okay, ask the bureau to send negotiation experts..."

Gao Shengnan puffed up his chest and said, "There's no need to send a negotiator. I'll talk to him."

It was an uneventful night, and many people were doomed to sleepless nights.

Beijing.

In the elegant and simple study room, the phone rang.

A man in his fifties with a resolute face answered the phone with a steady and powerful voice: "What's the matter?"

"Old leader, I am Zhang Chengtai. I... am ashamed of your entrustment."

"What's wrong?"

"Ye Huan kidnapped Ms. Zhou and is now confronting the police in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Ninghai. The situation is very critical. The police may shoot at any time. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, I really cannot directly intervene in the police's affairs. After all, this matter

The interests of too many people in Ninghai are involved..."

When the man heard this, his brows suddenly exuded a dignified power as strong as a mountain.

"I understand, let me settle this matter."

"Old leader, I...I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop like this."

"I don't blame you, that kid is really hard to guard against."

Zhang Chengtai was shocked, "That boy", the intimacy in this title was too strong, what is the relationship between Ye Huan and the old leader?

After hanging up the phone, the man hesitated several times and finally sighed secretly.

What's supposed to come will eventually come. If you can't hide it, just expose it. It's better than him dying at the hands of the police tonight.

Another number was dialed, and the man said in a deep voice: "Old Fang, are you asleep? I'm sorry to wake you up so late. I have something to ask you to do..."

*******

In front of an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Ninghai.

Gao Shengnan raised his hands and walked in slowly.

Ye Huan's knife was placed on Zhou Mei's neck, and Monkey's knife was placed on Liu Mei's neck.

The two women showed no signs of panic and looked very calm.

Gao Shengnan approached Ye Huan step by step and stood five steps away from him.

Ye Huan smiled: "Police Officer Gao, we are old acquaintances, why do you always come to arrest me every time I break the law? Are we born with different characters?"

There was a dull pain in Gao Shengnan's heart. She could not forget the way Ye Huan held on to the banknotes after fighting the gangsters and refused to let go. Looking back on that scene, it still makes her heartache. She also felt heartbroken for the perseverance of the man in front of her in struggling to survive in life.

He had the courage to risk his life for that humble but great responsibility.

Only a few days later, how could he change from a hero to a gangster?

Gao Shengnan stared at him deeply, with a trace of unrelievable pain in his eyes.

"Ye Huan, why do you do this? Why?"

"Because I want money."

Gao Shengnan choked with sobs: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Why didn't you tell me that you wanted money, and you had to do this stupid thing?"

Ye Huan sneered: "Police Officer Gao, we don't seem to know each other very well. I'm asking you to lend me one million, will you give it to me?"

Gao Shengnan sniffed hard and said in a deep voice: "Ye Huan, let go of the hostages. I will give you whatever you want."

"No, I want it now, and I won't let him go until he gives me money."

"You're going to be shot by the police!"

"I don't care!"

Gao Shengnan's tears finally couldn't stop and rolled down his face.

"Ye Huan, you bastard, why haven't you changed your temper at all? What are you insisting on? Are you not even afraid of death for that little money?"

Ye Huan's expression was in a trance for a while, with deep tiredness in his eyes.

"Police officer, actually I really hope you shoot me right now, so that I can put everything down, don't care about anything, don't ask anything, just lie down and have a good sleep. I'm really too tired..."

The blazing white searchlights illuminated the factory building at a glance, and all light and darkness were exposed to the light, leaving nothing to escape.

Ye Huan looked at the tearful Gao Shengnan and suddenly grinned. He smiled so happily, like the last ray of sunshine in the apocalypse, bright and desperate.

"Senior police officer, if there is an afterlife, I would like to be reincarnated as an animal, at least I won't have to live so hard."

The monkey stood behind Ye Huan, and the five-foot-tall man cried heartbrokenly.

"Brother Huan, give up! Forget it, we have really tried our best!"

Ye Huan said without turning around: "Monkey, we are already living in such hardship. If we give up even this persistence, what are we living for? Are we living just to live?"

Squinting at the direction of the searchlight, Ye Huan suddenly shouted loudly: "Get the money, or shoot me to death!"

***************************************************

**********

Two hundred meters away, Zhao Dafeng saw Ye Huan's determined face through the telescope. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "The sniper has locked the target and prepared to kill the robbers!"

The observer's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Group A has been locked!"

"Group B has been locked!"

"Group C has been locked!"

A policeman hurriedly walked to Zhao Dafeng and said: "Bureau Zhao, Bureau Zhang's phone number."

Zhao Dafeng frowned and answered the phone.

"What? No shooting? Who gave this order? The municipal party committee or the provincial department?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Guoming said in a deep voice: "It was the order personally issued by Minister Fang of the Ministry of Public Security."

Zhao Dafeng's eyelids twitched. Why did a simple kidnapping case alert the Ministry of Public Security? Was it pressure from President Zhou of Tenglong Group, or was there another mystery?

"Isn't this a random incident? How can I save the hostages if I'm not allowed to shoot? Who will be responsible if something happens to the hostages?"

"An arbitrary order is also an order and must be carried out!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Dafeng ordered with a livid face: "The stormtroopers made a surprise attack. No shots are allowed, only the robbers can be captured with bare hands!"

***************************************************

**********

The police took action.

With a muffled sound, the police fired a smoke bomb in the direction where Ye Huan was standing.

Ye Huan was caught off guard and was immediately choked and coughing.

Immediately after a burst of chaotic footsteps, the police rushed into the factory at lightning speed, grabbed the unsuspecting Ye Huan and Monkey's hands tightly, then cut their hands behind their backs and pressed them face to the ground.

Ye Huan was so anxious that he struggled hard, but he couldn't break away from the grasp of the well-trained special police.

When the smoke dissipated, Ye Huan looked at Zhou Mei and Liu Mei, who were heavily protected by the policewoman, and suddenly shouted: "Money, money!"

Zhou Mei burst into tears, looking at Ye Huan struggling and screaming, like a wounded trapped animal, staring at her with red eyes, and roared like a beast: "Money! You promised

,money!"

Zhou Mei ignored the policewoman's obstruction, half-knelt in front of him, and choked with sobs: "Don't worry, I'll have the money delivered to you right away. You'll be fine, I promise!"

Ye Huan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled hard at her: "I'm sorry...and, thank you."

Zhou Mei burst into tears and kept shaking her head. Liu Mei on the side also shed tears, clenched her teeth, and looked away. The monkey was held back by the police with both hands, facing the ground, his shoulders kept shaking, and he cried silently.
