"Grandpa, what should we do now?"
Xia Anyan lowered her voice to a minimum and asked the old man for his opinion.
According to what those people outside said, something must have happened to Han Qingfeng, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed so late.
I don't know how the evacuation of people outside is going; it seems that they are the only ones trapped now.
Grandpa Xia became the backbone of these people. He took a deep breath, glanced at the window, and then looked towards the door: "Don't care what they're saying, just go downstairs and talk."
"Yan Yan, the person they want is you, so you have to go down first."
Xia Anyan shook her head. Her reason was simple: she needed to stall for time here.
Therefore, the first person became Gu's mother.
Next was the old man, then Gu's father, and finally only Zhang Jun'an and Xia Anyan remained.
"Dad, hurry up," Xia Anyan urged.
But Zhang Junan kept staring at Xia Anyan without making a move.
Xia Anyan was getting anxious: "Dad, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Zhang Junan pulled Xia Anyan along and tied the homemade rope around her body.
"It's just stalling for time. Say one word now, and leave the rest to me."
"Don't try to resist. I don't believe you'll obediently go down. I have to send you down before I can leave in peace."
Xia Anyan sighed.
She should have thought of this a long time ago, shouldn't she?
These people care about her a lot, and they won't feel at ease if she doesn't leave.
In the end, Xia Anyan nodded.
She raised her voice: "Dad, you heard what they just said. Captain Han won't come to save us. This door won't hold us off for long. If I go out now, you might still be safe, but if I don't go out, we'll all die here."
"Dad! Don't hesitate any longer, there really isn't any time left."
After saying these words, Xia Anyan quickly jumped down.
Zhang Junan glanced downstairs and saw that Xia Anyan had landed safely and that everyone else was standing there safely. The huge weight in his heart finally lifted.
He calmly untied the bed sheet tied to the window, saying as he did so, "Ayan, since you call me Dad, I certainly won't let you die."
"Isn't their goal to avenge that old man Qian? This matter is also related to me, so let me die first!"
Xia Anyan stood downstairs and looked up at the second floor.
She trembled all over after hearing what Zhang Junan said.
She shouldn't have believed it.
She should have pulled Zhang Junan down with her.
"Dad, no..."
She shook her head, crying, and tried to climb up the wall.
But there was nothing down there, so she had no way to get there.
"If you don't come down, I'll disown you as my father, and I'll never forgive you in this lifetime!"
She roared angrily, not caring at all whether those people would hear her.
Zhang Junan shook his head helplessly.
She poked her head out the window: "You silly girl, I was just kidding those idiots outside, how could you believe me?"
"Idiot, get out of the way! Daddy's getting off!"
Xia Anyan was still a little confused when Gu's mother quickly stepped forward and led her aside.
Then, Zhang Junan did a clean flip.
He jumped straight from the second-floor window, completed a 360-degree spin in the middle, and landed safely in a stylish manner.
"Dad, I'm so glad you're alright."
Xia Anyan didn't care about anything else and quickly ran up to Zhang Junan and hugged him.
No one else disturbed the scene; instead, they were moved by it.
But this isn't the place to talk, and the commotion just now had obviously alerted the people outside.
They waited in vain for Xia Anyan to speak again, and realized they had been tricked. They then frantically opened fire on the room they were in.
They slapped the door open with a dozen or so blows, and the door was also kicked open.
They were stunned when they looked around; there was no one left in the room.
Upon seeing the open window, they immediately understood.
But by the time they reached the window to look, the person had already run away and disappeared without a trace.
Fearing they would be caught, they didn't drive, but instead left via a side road at the back.
The group ran towards the police station, while the old man, being elderly, was accommodated in a state-run restaurant.
Gu's father and mother stayed behind to take care of the children, while Xia Anyan and Zhang Junan ran to the police station as fast as they could.
By the time those people wanted to chase after them, it was too late.
When Xia Anyan and Zhang Junan arrived at the police station, they found it unusually quiet. Every time Xia Anyan came, she would see a beautiful female police officer at the front desk, but she didn't see her this time.
"Dad, do you think... Captain Han and the others might really be in trouble?"
Xia Anyan was stammering as she spoke, genuinely afraid that something might happen to them.
Zhang Junan patted Xia Anyan on the back: "No, how could something have happened to them?"
"Ayan, you wait here, I'll go in and take a look."
Zhang Junan hid Xia Anyan in a relatively secluded place, while he himself carefully ran towards the police station.
Xia Anyan felt like every day was an eternity while she was outside.
The longer Zhang Jun'an stayed inside, the more flustered she became.
She thought more than ten minutes had passed, but in reality, it had only been a few minutes.
Just as she was about to go and take a look, Han Qingfeng and Captain Gong rushed in from outside with their men.
"Damn it, they actually got away."
Han Qingfeng kicked a pillar next to him in anger, but he still couldn't calm down.
Captain Gong's face also darkened: "Something's not right. It seems like those people are deliberately trying to lure us out."
"By the way, where is the rest of the team? We've come back and there's no one from the team here."
Han Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat: "Oh no, could this be a diversionary tactic?"
The group rushed inside, fearing that Old Man Han and his companions would be taken away by those people.
Xia Anyan heard the familiar voice and quickly ran out from the corner.
Upon seeing familiar faces again, she finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
Han Qingfeng and Captain Gong were both taken aback by Xia Anyan's actions.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" A young comrade stepped out from behind Captain Gong, scratched his head at Xia Anyan's appearance, and was really puzzled.
Xia Anyan recounted what had just happened, her voice trembling with sobs.
Everyone's expression changed after hearing this.
Han Qingfeng, in particular, cursed, "A bunch of beasts! I'll take some men and bring them back right now!"
Captain Gong naturally had to stay; the matter here hadn't been resolved yet, and they couldn't let those people take advantage of the situation.
