Chapter 147 Try and Die

The old gold shop on Yau Tsim Mong Pedestrian Street is on the main road in the middle of the pedestrian street.

Cordons have been set up at both ends of the pedestrian street.

All members of the Mobile Unit of the Operations Department of the Hong Kong Police Force were dispatched and arrived at the scene right after the Sham Shui Po Police Station.

Motorcycles are more flexible, can arrive at the scene faster, and the police department’s equipment is more complete.

They maintained public order on the pedestrian street and escorted surrounding pedestrians and vendors to safely evacuate the scene.

The police officers from the Special Duties Unit of the Hong Kong Police Force wore bulletproof vests and held submachine guns in front of them. They stood in a row beside Chen Yunchuan with their guns pointed directly at the old gold shop.

The Police Department's medical rescue vehicle was parked in the corner, with several wounded people hit by stray bullets already sitting on it.

Helicopters hovered over Yau Tsim Mong Pedestrian Street, preparing for a possible pursuit.

There are snipers from the special mission company on standby in the small buildings on both sides.

The Police Public Relations Branch drove the media vehicles on site to a safe location, leaving four photographers and reporters with experience in battlefield reporting at the front line.

They are Chen Zhuyao, the top news anchor of Hong Kong Star Network News STN, and Tang Shiyao, who single-handedly reported on the Hong Kong bank robbery case.

MTN news anchor Liu Peizhen and her photographer Ma Bojue.

Chen Zhuyao held the microphone and said, "The scene was filled with smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder could be smelled. Two robbers were lying outside the main entrance and the broken display glass on the side of the old gold shop."

"One was shot twice in the chest and his life or death is unknown. Another was shot in the forehead and died on the spot."

"When the Hong Kong Police Force and Sham Shui Po police officers arrived at the scene, the fierce gunfight had already ended. We only heard the last gunshot and the old gold shop fell into silence."

"At the moment... the situation is unclear."

Chen Zhuyao's voice was a little choked.

Media people who cover Hong Kong news all have their own news channels.

When she arrived, she received a tip-off that four police officers were suspected to be trapped in an old gold shop in West Kowloon.

One of them is suspected to be Jian Ruochen!

After the two media outlets finished their broadcasts.

The entire pedestrian street fell into silence.

The wind blew the plastic bags thrown by the fleeing people across the road. The blue plastic bag was blown into a ball, covered with dust, swirled, rolled up, and got stuck on the electric pole next to Lao Jin's store.

Suddenly, two figures with their hands raised appeared in front of the door of Lao Jin's store.

Everyone was cheered up.

Police Operations Chief Fang Kaichang immediately picked up the intercom and said, "Attention, all units. Do not shoot without instructions. I have ordered that the safety of all hostages be prioritized. Hold on to the trigger!"

Right now.

The breathing of all the police officers was almost passively adjusted to the same frequency.

They didn't know why a small gold shop robbery case mobilized almost everyone in the police department.

But they understand what the boss's orders mean.

Although Le Jinwen had not been to the battlefield for a long time, he was a well-known living devil when he was young.

Many police officers here grew up listening to his stories and finally chose to become a police officer because they admired him.

Who came out?

Hostages or robbers?

If they were hostages, why did the robbers suddenly release them?

·

A few minutes ago.

Small building.

Guan Yingjun handcuffed the second brother and looked in the direction of the gold shop with the binoculars left by the robbers.

The sniper spot chosen by the robbers was very good, very close, and the distance was suitable for an amateur, and with the help of a telescope, most of the movements in the gold shop could be clearly seen.

He saw the robber approaching the counter, and saw that Lin Yazhi's gun chamber was empty, with the bolt slide resting at the rear of the gun body, so he knew that Lin Yazhi had no bullets.

Jian Ruochen's gun didn't have many bullets left.

Because when patrolling, patrol officers usually only carry one spare magazine, which, together with the gun magazine, only contains 22 bullets.

The patrolman used some of the bullets himself, and when he passed them to Jian Ruochen, there was only a little bullet left in the first magazine.

Guan Yingjun immediately put down the telescope, lay down in front of the sniper rifle, and pulled the bolt with his backhand.

"Click".

A bullet casing was ejected from the side of the sniper rifle, and the ejector pin loaded a new bullet into the chamber.

Before Guan Yingjun could take aim at the white sneakers approaching the counter, he saw through the scope that Jian Ruochen suddenly stood up and raised his gun to shoot!

"Bang!"

The robber fell to the ground.

Afterwards, Jian Ruochen decisively threw away his gun, raised his hands, climbed over the counter, and disappeared into the sight.

Can't see it.

Guan Yingjun took a breath and recovered from the shock of the shot.

His hands were trembling a little, and he almost wanted to rush to Jian Ruochen immediately, touch his beloved's hand that was still bleeding from the glass, and touch his trembling back.

But it doesn't work.

He stood up and found the gun bag that was thrown aside, took out another professional scope from it, removed the laser sight and replaced it with another sniper scope.

Jian Ruochen shot the robber to death and jumped out of the counter on his own initiative. He certainly did not intend to create a 3-on-3 fight.

Now Liu Qishang, Lin Yazhi and Jian Ruochen are out of bullets.

They would definitely be at a disadvantage in a 3-on-3 situation, but if Liu Qishang and Lin Yazhi could be substituted out, the situation would be very different.

According to Jian Ruochen's personality, he would definitely negotiate with the robbers to release the hostages.

Guan Yingjun was adjusting the sight. The pounding of his heart was like a dull drumbeat, and the blood hitting the eardrums made them swell and ache.

He knew very well that although Jian Ruochen was kind-hearted, he was by no means a person who indulged in excessive personal heroism.

If there is any other way, I would not choose to negotiate alone.

The reason why Jian Ruochen had the confidence to do this was probably because he expected that he would use this sniper rifle!

So he can't leave.

Guan Yingjun adjusted the sniper rifle and laughed coldly.

Half of it was anger towards the robbers, half of it was helplessness, and there was also a hint of regret.

If I had known this...

Jian Ruochen shouldn't be allowed to sleep.

·

Old gold shop.

In the afternoon heat.

Chen Yunchuan was the first to recognize the person coming out of the old gold shop.

She turned around and said, "It's Superintendent Lam from West Kowloon and Inspector Liu from ICAC! All units, please be careful and don't shoot!"

All police officers raised their guns slightly.

Lin Yazhi and Liu Qishang walked slowly towards the police force.

They knew that there were guns pointed at them from behind, and if they made a wrong move, they would not be the only ones to die.

Lin Yazhi had experienced a gunfight and was injured, with scratches of varying degrees on her arms and thighs, and a bit of broken glass stuck on the side of her knee.

Liu Qishang was not in a very respectable state either. His trousers were torn, and when he first lay on top of Lin Yazhi to protect her, a stray bullet grazed his shoulder blade, leaving a scar.

The two walked between the police and were immediately taken into a car by medical staff.

Fang Kaichang held onto the door frame of the trunk and asked, "What's going on inside? Why would the robbers let you out?"

"Jian Ruochen negotiated and became a hostage." Lin Yazhi was covered with a small blanket. The doctor squatted in front of her and removed the glass that had pierced her flesh.

Fang Kaichang's face turned pale. "Who?"

Jian Ruochen?

The Police Force is linked to Hong Kong’s security, and the flow of information is accelerating.

After Jian Ruochen signed a 5.9 billion development contract with the mainland, he became the focus of the Police Department.

We have received orders from above to protect this golden nugget at all costs.

A few days ago, the leader from the mainland came to Hong Kong in person and met with Hong Kong businessmen in Hong Kong, including Jian Ruochen.

The hotel’s security measures were jointly implemented by the mainland and the police department.

Fang Kaichang grabbed the megaphone and said, "Listen, everyone inside. No matter what you want, please keep calm and don't hurt the hostages. No one has died on the street yet. You haven't killed anyone yet, so you can still turn back! There's room for negotiation on everything!"

Fang Kaichang's voice pierced through the air, went straight into the gold shop, and echoed throughout the entire block.

The three robbers breathed rapidly, "Third brother, what should we do?"

Done!

If they get the plane they can leave this damn place!

"Third brother, I will control him, you go negotiate with the police!"

Jian Ruochen interrupted: "I have another request."

Old Seven: “…Speak.”

"Third brother held me hostage with a gun. You two take all the gold you can. This kind..." Jian Ruochen said, kicking the gold ring with a jade ring face at his feet, "This kind with a green ring face is more valuable, remember to take it."

The sentence was also quite severe.

"You rob people all the time, so you know more about it than I do." Jian Ruochen looked at the greed in their eyes, clenched his still trembling fingers, and calmly coaxed and provoked them, "You've already done it, and you've paid so much, so you can only take the money and run away, right?"

That makes sense.

It's very touching to hear.

But it sounded particularly strange when Jian Ruochen said this.

"I won't be the one controlling you." The third brother said, "People who take hostages will face concentrated fire from the police. I don't want to die."

After hearing these words, the other two robbers were stunned and looked at each other.

What's the meaning?

Should they risk their lives to do this and just want to die?

At the last minute, the third brother is not even willing to fight for them?

This attitude is extremely chilling.

"Third brother..." Old Seven frowned, "This..."

Jian Ruochen curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly.

Among these seven robbers, the three who survived were the most afraid of death.

It can be seen from the way they pushed White Sneakers out to hostage him that these people are actually afraid of taking hostages.

Because once you get started, there’s no turning back.

The third brother is the one with the most say and the most ruthlessness among them.

He is the final backbone.

As long as the third one is gone, the remaining two will not be able to achieve anything.

When Guan Yingjun saw the third brother kidnapping him, he would definitely kill the third brother first.

Jian Ruochen stared at the third brother and said, "I want you, otherwise we will just stay here and see who dies first, me or you."

The other two robbers panicked: "Three of us, we can't afford it anymore."

"Yes, if you ask me, according to our usual way of robbing, we should have left after taking the gold. It was you who insisted on staying to kill Chen Yunchuan!"

"Why would anyone want to kill Chen Yunchuan? She is just Le Jinwen's wife. If she dies, Le Jinwen can just find another wife. I don't know why you and the boss agreed to take on this mission."

Seeing that people's morale was low, the third brother finally understood how evil Jian Ruochen's mouth was.

He tore off a piece of black tape and put it on Jian Ruochen's mouth, "Okay, I'll take the person away, and you guys follow with the gold."

The third brother took a deep breath and pushed Jian Ruochen in front of him to use as a shield to block his body.

He grabbed Jian Ruochen's wrist and said loudly to the police department who were facing a formidable enemy: "Give me the plane in the sky! When we get to a safe place, we will release him! Otherwise, I will kill him!"

Fang Kaichang felt dizzy and was about to let the negotiation expert speak.

The third brother said again: "Don't let your old nagging bastard talk, or I will kill this precious thing of yours!"

The negotiation expert slowly closed his mouth.

He looked at the black tape on Jian Ruochen's mouth and realized that this robber had been verbally attacked by Teacher Li's direct disciple.

The third brother was on the verge of collapse. The atmosphere of walking on thin ice made him extremely afraid of death: "Stop talking nonsense, stop the plane for me! For me——!"

The sun is shining brightly.

Everyone's adrenaline surged.

No one dared to shoot in front.

Fang Kaichang turned around and asked the snipers set up on both sides, "How's the sight?"

"It's blocked, and shooting will hurt the hostages."

Fang Kaichang took a deep breath: "What about the other one?"

"Sir Fang, I'm not sure either. He blocked it too tightly."

Fang Kaichang felt cold all over.

Of course he understood that Jian Ruochen dared to negotiate with the robbers and let the two policemen go, which meant that he trusted these people outside and could kill the robbers when he lured them out for negotiations.

But he can't do it now!

"You can't give us a plane," the negotiation expert warned.

If we give it to them, the robbers might kill the passengers as soon as they get on the plane.

what to do?

The robber grabbed Jian Ruochen's wrists with one hand and held a machine gun in the other hand, raising it to Jian Ruochen's forehead.

The machine gun was too heavy to hold with one hand.

His hands gradually lost strength and he became more and more hysterical, "Give me the plane!"

·

In the small building.

Guan Yingjun took a deep breath.

Jian Ruochen's life is now in his hands. If he misses, it is likely to hit Jian Ruochen's head!

He slowly adjusted his breathing, lowered his heart rate, and quickly calmed down.

At this moment, he recalled the scene of his first collaboration with Jian Ruochen.

On the ship sailing on the sea, Jian Ruochen leaned on him and defused a bomb.

Jian Ruochen's expression at that time was so lively that it made people feel as if he was right in front of them.

He seemed to be able to remember every scene when he was with Jian Ruochen.

I even remember their thighs touching in Teacher Li's office when they met for the second time.

That time, Jian Ruochen was wearing a fluffy down jacket in goose yellow color, and it smelled of sweet grapefruit.

Guan Yingjun stared at the robber and pulled the trigger.

"puff!"

The sound of bullets piercing through flesh was heard.

Blood splattered.

The robber was knocked to the side by the force.

He moved against Jian Ruochen's machine gun.

Jian Ruochen reacted immediately, squatted down to break free from the shackles, stretched out his legs and swept across, kicking the third brother down, and snatched the machine gun with his backhand.

The next moment, the third brother fell to the ground with a bang.

He is still conscious.

Blood was flowing out of the hole in the corner of his forehead continuously.

Sniper bullets are larger and cause very small wounds after being fired, but when they penetrate the skull, they will directly blow a hole.

Pink liquid flowed out from the bowl-sized hole.

The third brother stared at Jian Ruochen, his lips slightly parted: "You... lied to me..."

Jian Ruochen tore off the tape on his mouth and threw it away.

He held the gun, pointed it at the remaining two robbers who were holding two bags of gold in their left and right hands respectively and were unable to draw their guns immediately, and slowly backed away.

The machine gun shook up and down in his hands.

"Don't panic, there is a first time for everything." Jian Ruochen kept muttering to himself to comfort himself, "It's a small, small scene. It's not as exciting as having a meal at the same table with the leader."

He muttered as he returned to the police protection circle and subconsciously glanced towards the small building.

Guan Yingjun was running towards them.

“Crack!”

The officers from the Special Duties Unit of the Police Department reacted and raised their guns.

The two robbers were so frightened that they dropped the bags of gold in their hands, knelt down immediately and raised their hands high.

"Surrender! We surrender now!"

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

Guan Yingjun pushed aside the members of the Police Department nearby, rushed to Jian Ruochen, and hugged him in his arms.

He hugged her for a while, then immediately raised his hand and brushed away the hair that was stuck to the side of Jian Ruochen's face.

These hands, which were known for their steadiness and had just been able to accurately shoot the gangster to death, were now shaking violently.

Jian Ruochen was slightly stunned. The robber's tape was of poor quality, making his mouth a little sticky.

He grabbed Guan Yingjun's shaking hand and put it on his face, whispering, not knowing whether to comfort Guan Yingjun or himself: "It's okay. Everyone is fine, no one died in the line of duty. Am I awesome?"
