So what they were shouting became: "If you hurry up and pay the money, we'll release them if you don't arrest us—"
Everyone knows that the mall's loudspeakers can be heard on every floor. When the robber leader heard his underlings changing the script, he turned green with rage!
Idiots, a bunch of idiots!
However, seeing that the robbers were starting to argue and get into a fight, Yu Ling had a change of heart. She abandoned her old idea, cleared her throat, and said:
"Ahem, hey robber, why don't you just have your henchmen broadcast your voice over the loudspeaker?"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the robbers exclaimed, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"
So he lowered his head and began instructing his underlings as Yu Ling had told him: "Alright, you don't need to relay the message anymore, just...blah blah blah..."
Yu Ling's actions drew the attention of all the hostages and bandits, who all glanced at her. She looked intelligent, handsome, and cultured, so why was she not very bright?
Chen Yang followed everyone's gaze and saw Yu Ling. He was even more surprised than when Guan Xiujie came to his side. Was the world turning into a fantasy, or had Guan Xiujie lost his mind? He dared to bring a suspect out! He quickly nudged his friend and asked:
"Why is he here too? Did you find evidence that he's not the murderer?"
"No, I haven't found any evidence that he's the murderer. He's still very suspicious."
After releasing Chen Yang, Guan Xiujie handed the small scissors to him, believing that weapons should be used by professionals to maximize their effectiveness.
"Then you still dared to lure people in?! Are you crazy?!"
With the scissors in hand, Chen Yang finished scolding Guan Xiujie and took advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to Yu Ling to move to another position and take over the important task of untying the other hostages.
Guan Xiujie, who was left behind, knew that his role had been fulfilled when he saw Chen Yang get away. He sat quietly, waiting to be carried by his teammates. But the more he thought about Chen Yang's words, the more he felt that he had been misunderstood. How did coming here become him deceiving Yu Ling? Clearly, this guy insisted on being a hero!
However, this way of doing good deeds is quite unique.
Could it be...?
He had been suppressing his violent thoughts for too long and wanted to take this opportunity to legally satisfy his urge to fight the robbers.
Yu Ling's proactive actions made the robber, whose intelligence was comparable to that of a system, realize his own shortcomings. Apart from being bold enough to sell things, his education, which was supposed to be based on prenatal education, was indeed not up to par.
With communication with the outside world stalled and the two sides at an impasse, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't just keep watching a group of people, including the hostages, go without food, water, or a toilet!
"You!" The bandit leader pointed at Yu Ling, "Come here!"
First of all, Yu Ling arrived halfway and didn't even have a rope on her wrist. He answered loudly, and as he got up, he passed by Robber A and took a rope from his back pocket, pretending to tie it up for himself.
The robber, A, had never been treated like this before. His face turned red with anger, but he couldn't make a scene about being touched like this. He could only frantically tell himself, "Hostage, we're just kidnappers and hostages. You've crossed the line!"
Yu Ling took over the role of the human shield girl.
The bandit leader, seeing Yu Ling's thin and frail appearance, didn't take this pretty boy seriously. He boldly pulled her closer, his thick eyebrows, large eyes, and fierce, menacing look quite frightening. He half-embraced Yu Ling's waist, shielding her in front of him, and said:
What is your educational background like?
Yu Ling: "It's alright."
The original owner was alright, but I myself never went to school as a human!
"Fine, I've been watching you for a long time. You've always been obedient and cooperative. Good. I'll give you a chance to live. If you can persuade all the police to step back and make way for us, and give us a van to go..."
Meanwhile, Guan Xiujie, who had excellent hearing, overheard these words and mocked the bandit leader, saying, "You've been observing him for a long time! Bah! He just arrived!"
After the robber finished explaining his terms, Yu Ling nodded and bowed obediently, assuring him that there would be absolutely no problem.
Then, the robber handed him a pager.
"Um... my hand isn't very strong, could you hold it for me?"
The robber leader realized that he couldn't possibly show himself, so he could only hide behind him and risk his life. He gestured to his underlings behind him, and soon a suitable candidate was found.
"Hey you! Move those hostages over there toward Ah Jin, come here."
The robber, caught off guard and suddenly called out: What's this about me??
But the boss called him and he had to go.
"They're here!"
The robber A jogged over, giving Yu Ling, who had taken advantage of him, a vicious glare. You know what, this hostage is actually quite handsome up close... Ugh! Handsome isn't good enough!
Then, the robber A bowed and smiled obsequiously at his boss, saying...
"Boss, what are your orders?"
The gang leader said, "Hold this up for him. Also, you two stand facing outwards, don't bend over, and keep a close watch on me! I feel a bit unsafe, and my back is getting chills..."
No wonder he felt a chill; the world's biggest BOSS, the serial killer, was standing right next to him! The gang leader had no idea that Yu Ling was in far more danger than him, and he was quite at ease. Yu Ling's fragrance was much better than the overpowering perfume of that girl from before.
Completely unprepared for this mission, robber Xiao Liu was actually quite awkward when facing Yu Ling. He held up the pager to Yu Ling's mouth, wanting to ask her something, but he was afraid that the pager would broadcast it to others.
Fine, he'll put up with it!
Yu Ling had no idea that she was being mistaken for a pervert. She thought that the robber A, who looked unwell, had discovered that she had stolen his rope, and she even winked at him to signal him not to make a fuss.
Robber A: Oh no, he even dared to wink at me!
Yu Ling ignored the robber A and, since the pager allowed her to cause trouble openly, she decided to play a prank first.
"Cough, can you hear me?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Yu Ling added,
"Hello everyone, I am an innocent hostage. The kidnappers have entrusted me with the important task of conducting their social interactions. Please forgive me if I don't speak well enough."
The police were stunned when they heard it.
Are robbers these days so brazen? They bring out hostages to hold the line when they can't win an argument! People's lives are in the hands of robbers, how can they possibly negotiate?
Inside the police car, watching the live broadcast, Yu Ling and the robber A were seen shielding the leader of the robbers. One of the police chiefs was so angry that he clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. He was in a very bad mood.
But... why does this hostage look so familiar?
