The moment Chen Ke saw Zhang Ziqiang emerge, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Attention everyone, be on alert!"
The Hong Kong police officers on the periphery also heard it, but their faces were filled with fear and confusion.
But the one who felt most humiliated was Lam Yung, the top cop of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB). He had anticipated that there was a 50% chance Cheung Tze-keung would pull off a big heist, and he knew how powerful Cheung Tze-keung was, but he never expected him to be that powerful.
There were four policemen in total. They had no guns and were standing with their hands raised, backing away.
Medical staff carried the stretcher, but in a forward-moving posture.
Cheung Tze-keung sat imposingly on a stretcher, holding two AKs high in his hands.
Behind him were three men, each armed with two AKs.
His eyes darted around, surveying the entire room.
His eyes seemed to say, "Aren't you surprised? Aren't you surprised?"
For a fleeting moment, everyone was frozen in shock.
Everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Before Lin Yi arrived, he had a clear plan: to save a little girl or a cat.
But at this moment he found that the method was not working, because although he knew there were AKs, he did not expect that there were as many as six of them exposed.
Moreover, he sacrificed himself, sending four medical staff and four police officers, eight hostages. What should we do now?
Chen Ke and his group couldn't get rid of the people at the scene; they were practically hoarse from shouting.
But now, they don't need to drive them away anymore.
In an instant, piercing screams erupted from the crowd.
People scattered and fled like a tide, and many children were indeed left behind. Cats scurried about in the trees, meowing. Chen Ke and his men picked up one by one, kicked open the storefronts along the street, and stuffed the wailing children inside.
The citizens were running, but many motorcycles were coming from the opposite direction, heading towards the scene.
Chen Ke stopped a motorcycle, thinking it was a bodyguard from the Nie family. He was about to tell the person the walkie-talkie code when he was kicked and nearly fell off the motorcycle. Then he saw that the person was also carrying an AK.
Chen Rou's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Team Leader Chen, Team Leader Chen, stop! Those are Zhang Ziqiang's men!"
She was at a high vantage point, where she could see clearly and far.
She repeated, "All the BMW motorcycles belong to Cheung Tze-keung's men, ours are Harleys, look for Harleys."
With three veterans, plus Guo Xiaobai and his son Guo Fuzheng, Zhang Ziqiang had five other men outside.
As soon as Zhang Ziqiang came out, they immediately surrounded him in a fan shape.
Hong Kong police were unaware of the problem and didn't care, while Chen Ke and his team deliberately turned a blind eye.
This isn't a place for gunfights; they need to lure people out to an open area.
Their ultimate goal was to force Cheung Tze-keung to the mainland.
This time, he will be arrested by the mainland police.
...
The negotiation process has officially begun on site.
At this point, Brother Lin also panicked.
He said into the walkie-talkie, "Officer Huo, you need to hold out for at least five minutes."
Police officers in the vicinity took remedial action afterward, busy directing the crowd and preventing a stampede.
They then realized that what the mainland police had done was not in vain.
Everyone was actually quite angry. Some officers even offered water to Chen Ke and his colleagues. At this moment, all the police officers in Hong Kong and mainland China put aside their differences and stood together without prejudice.
They can't do anything about their leaders' stupidity, but they're not blind; they've realized that what the mainland police said earlier was correct.
Huo Qi at the scene was utterly speechless.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I told you long ago that he had an AK and that he would kill people!"
Several Flying Tigers members formed a small encirclement, preventing Cheung Tze-keung and his men from breaking out for the time being.
But those four medical staff members were just an easy question given to them by the police.
Cheung Tze-keung could have killed them at any moment, causing bloodshed and death, all of which would have been unnecessary.
Huo Qi and his men can resolve the situation by simply maintaining the encirclement.
He gritted his teeth and said into the walkie-talkie, "We, the Flying Tigers, swear we will never retreat and will fight to the bitter end."
He added, "The Governor's Office's mission is complete. Have the Flying Tigers come over immediately, right now!"
Brother Lin was also preparing to formally begin the negotiation process, comforting Huo Qi: "Zhang Ziqiang only wants money and won't kill people easily. Hold on for another 5 minutes. The main force will arrive in 5 minutes. Be careful to cover him. I will negotiate with him and buy time."
At this point, he still naively believed that, just like before, Cheung Tze-keung would bluff, the police would half-heartedly resist, delaying the situation, or Cheung Tze-keung would escape, or be forced back indoors. In short, although it was dangerous, no one would die.
But he was completely unaware of the psychological pressure that the return to power would place on Cheung Tze-keung.
He didn't know either; he was still confused. But Zhang Ziqiang saw it clearly: this was his last chance.
Of course, one should pick on the weak. At first, Cheung Tze-keung wouldn't easily kill a policeman and provoke them. However, when Lam Yat-gor walked towards the scene with a microphone, Cheung Tze-keung decided to make an example of him.
What he was aiming at were several BMW motorcycles that were far away from Chen Ke and his group.
Huo Qi and his men were truly risking their lives to hold on, unwilling to back down. Although the hope was slim, they wanted to force him to retreat.
But in that instant, Cheung Tze-keung lowered the muzzle of his gun, and with a flash of light, Brother Lam stood frozen in place.
At the same time, a motorcyclist who happened to be passing by in the distance lunged out, and his motorcycle slid past Brother Lin.
A gunshot silenced the scene, leaving only the hissing of camera flashes.
As Chen Ke and the others ran forward, he continued shouting, "Whose car is this? Who's in it?"
He asked again, "Wen Chao, is that you? Are you there?"
Song Yuanchao also shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Madam, where are you? Are you alright? Miss Chen Rou, Chen Rou!"
Upon hearing this, Maozi also shouted, "Madam, is that you, Madam?"
One of the drivers was shot, but they were still far away. They didn't know who it was and were very anxious. They all wanted to go and see what was going on, but then Chen Rou's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
She said first, "Don't worry, it's a BMW."
Holding up her binoculars, she added, "Judging from his figure, I suspect it should be Guo Xiaobai."
Guo Xiaobai was one of Zhang Ziqiang's own men. He came to Zhang Ziqiang's aid in times of crisis, but Zhang Ziqiang shot him dead.
Why did he indiscriminately kill his own people?
