But things, of course, did not go as smoothly as everyone imagined.
Because the very next day, a video suddenly appeared on the Internet.
In the video, a bald AIK leader gave a televised speech, claiming responsibility for the kidnapping and demanding that the Chinese government must immediately release their leader Vasimi and pay a ransom of one billion US dollars, otherwise he would kill him.
In Shishi, all netizens can clearly see the hostages being kidnapped.
Then, someone broke the news that Tang Xiaobao’s girlfriend Luo Ya was also among the hostages.
Then, a student from Luo Ya's university also confirmed that Luo Ya had not reported to school since the start of the semester.
This video was originally posted abroad, but was forwarded to several domestic forums by some people.
For a time, the whole country of China was shocked.
China has always advocated peace in the international arena and has not interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. In addition, with its strong military power, very few terrorist organizations are willing to provoke China.
This had never happened before.
But this time, the AIK terrorist organization took action.
They kidnapped more than 60 tourists at once, which was really bold.
Not only China was shocked, but Western countries were also shocked. Of course, they also applauded.
People all over the world are watching the response of the Chinese government.
Haven't you always been so arrogant? Haven't you always claimed that there would be no terrorism in the country? Now, keep on being so arrogant...
People across the country were outraged.
The Chinese government immediately issued a statement regarding this terrorist act.
In the statement, the government spokesman made a very tough statement that Vasime would not be released, and hoped that the leaders of the AIK organization would think carefully about whether they really wanted to be an enemy of China. He also made it clear that the two sides could resolve the incident through negotiations. Otherwise, the Chinese government might take some unconventional measures, and China would not accept any form of threats and bargaining.
And this incident spread throughout the country within half a day.
Netizens were the first to bear the brunt of the response, posting various comments online regarding the incident.
"We must be tough. Anyone who offends China will be punished, no matter how far away they are."
"Is this because you are tired of living?"
"You dare to go against China and seek death."
“We have to be tough.”
"The government has finally stood up for once, and I feel really proud."
"We have always maintained zero tolerance towards terrorist organizations."
"Kill him!"
"As for our soldiers, we train them for a thousand days and use them for a moment."
"Destroy their lair and eliminate this pest for humanity!"
…
The Chinese nation is united and showing unprecedented unity.
This is naturally a good thing, at least it seems so.
But when Tang Xiaobao saw the news, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Because he saw some remarks that were related to himself.
"So she really is the leader's girlfriend. It's over, it's over. No wonder the leader went to Jiangnan City. It seems he got the news earlier than us."
"Luo Ya was kidnapped, and the leader must be extremely worried. No wonder he is unwilling to accept media interviews."
"Yeah, so, those idiots who cursed our leader online a few days ago, put yourself in his shoes. If your loved ones were kidnapped by a terrorist organization, would you still be in the mood to give interviews? Would you still be in the mood to sign autographs for fans?"
"What the above person said is right. If he is a leader like that, he is not worthy of our love."
"Brothers and sisters who have been taken away, please come back soon. Your love can heal the wounds in the leader's heart."
"I'm back, stay tuned."
"Master, I misunderstood you. I apologize."
"The leader is genuine, and we all like him."
…
Tang Xiaobao's number of fans is still increasing. In just half a day, it has increased to nearly one million.
This number is actually quite scary.
The base number of netizens is there, and Tang Xiaobao's fans are actually saturated, and these nearly one million fans are almost all passers-by.
It's not easy.
No one expected that Tang Xiaobao would gain popularity through this incident.
Netizens are particularly understanding and supportive of him.
But he really couldn't be happy at all.
Luoya is still in IK's hands and her life is in danger at any time. Can you imagine how anxious he is?
He no longer paid attention to his own affairs, but kept an eye on several overseas websites, hoping to get the news from AIK as soon as possible.
But no, AIK is extremely mysterious and does not appear on the Internet at all.
Tang Xiaobao called General Tao, who only said that the government was actively communicating and negotiating with the other party and that the talks would go very smoothly. He vowed that there would be no problem with these people and they would definitely come back alive.
Another day passed.
AIK once again delivered a televised speech online.
This time, AIK was unusually strong, claiming that the Chinese government completely ignored their conditions and had no sincerity...
In order to warn the Huaxia government, AIK even killed a hostage on the spot and proposed that if the government was still so stubborn after 24 hours, they would have to kill the hostage.
As soon as the video was released, the whole country was in an uproar.
No one expected that the other party would kill people just like that.
The comments online were also divided into two camps.
One group hopes that the government will consider the safety of the hostages and release Wasime.
The other group strongly opposed it. They believed that China's national prestige must not be violated, and that people all over the world were watching China. If they compromised at this time, wouldn't they be laughed at?
It cannot be changed, absolutely cannot be changed!
When Tang Xiaobao found Tao Ran, the latter was also very worried.
However, when he saw Tang Xiaobao, Tao Ran's expression became very relaxed.
"Xiao Tang, why are you here?"
"I want to ask you now, have you read the latest news reported online? AIK is demanding the release of Wasime. What is the government going to do?"
Tao Ran said seriously, "They just did this on purpose. If they really dare to kill another hostage, they will definitely regret doing such a brainless thing."
"Still negotiating?"
"Yes, don't worry, we have our negotiation experts!"
No matter what Tang Xiaobao said, Tao Ran asked him to go back to the hotel and wait for news. He didn't even reveal any details of the case.
"Okay, if anything happens, be sure to find me first."
Tang Xiaobao took a breath, turned around and walked out.
He didn't believe what Tao Ran said, but he had to believe it.
Apart from this, he seemed to have no other good solution.
Back at the hotel, Tang Xiaobao continued to follow the developments.
Until noon on the tenth day.
The video over there was uploaded as promised.
This time, the AIK organization shot and killed a total of five brigade members!
Luo Ya was lucky and was never recognized by the organizers.
But Tang Xiaobao became even more anxious.
