"I am Wu Wei."
"Wu Wei, I don't care what method you use, but you must rescue a lady named Zhao Qinglan from the restaurant safely, while ensuring the safety of the other hostages as much as possible."
Wu Wei was astonished. How could the Chief Superintendent issue such an order, and how did the Superintendent know who was in the restaurant?
And who is this Ms. Zhao Qinglan?
While he remained doubtful, the Chief Superintendent offered another explanation in a low voice.
"This lady is the niece of Madam Sun of the Liao family. Madam Sun treats her like her own daughter. Do you understand?"
Inspector Wu immediately understood. "I get it."
"Good to know. I'll wait for your good news, Wu Wei. If you can handle this unexpected incident well, your chances of being promoted to a new superintendent will be much greater. You need to understand that."
Wu Wei's heart immediately warmed up.
He has been a senior inspector for several years, and the next step he wants to climb is to become a superintendent, although there are also positions above superintendent such as chief superintendent and commissioner of police.
But if he could become a police superintendent in this lifetime, he would already be considered a superior person, and his biggest dream before retiring was to become a police superintendent.
After calming down, and thinking about Ms. Zhao Qinglan again, his expression became serious.
The Liao family is a more powerful force in Hong Kong than the Rong family. If the Liao family hadn't been so small, who knows what their status in Hong Kong would be.
Mrs. Sun has consistently donated large sums of money to sponsor the purchase of police equipment, making her extremely influential within the police force.
If he could successfully rescue Madam Sun's niece, and Madam Sun expressed her gratitude even slightly, his path to promotion to superintendent would be much smoother.
Therefore, he understood that the Chief Superintendent's words were not unfounded.
He quickly consulted with the head of the special police force to discuss countermeasures.
They will prepare money and a car, and they will not give up other methods. In special circumstances, the special police will also storm in to rescue people.
In short, everything should be done according to circumstances.
He had just finished discussing the opportunity with the head of the special police when his subordinates ran over and said that Madam Sun had arrived and wanted to see him.
Upon meeting, Madam Sun, upon learning of the kidnappers' demands, immediately said, "The Liao family can pay all the money the kidnappers are asking for, or even double it, as long as the kidnappers release my niece immediately."
It wasn't that she wasn't kind or didn't want to rescue more hostages; it was just that she was too worried about her family.
Inspector Wu was startled, which confirmed Superintendent Liu's words. This man really valued his niece. However, his professional instincts remained.
“Mrs. Sun, I know you are eager to save her, but right now, we can’t let the kidnappers know Ms. Zhao’s identity. Don’t you think that if Ms. Zhao’s identity is exposed, she will become the kidnappers’ most valued hostage? In that case, it will be much more difficult for us to rescue her.”
Yes, she almost thought she had put Qinglan in a bad position because of her haste. Feeling relieved, she quickly thanked Wu Wei. "Thank you, Inspector Wu."
"Mrs. Sun, please trust our police force. We will do our best to save lives."
"Alright, if there's anything the Liao family can do to help, please let us know."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Sun."
Although anxious, Mrs. Sun has calmed down a bit and knows that she shouldn't interfere arbitrarily. She still needs to rely on the professional police officers to rescue the people.
However, she and her bodyguard and assistant stayed nearby, keeping an eye on the situation inside. Driver Wang was also standing next to her at this time.
Although she was worried, she didn't lose her mind and blame the driver, which relieved him.
Because of the kidnapper's shouts, people nearby heard that the hostage included Rong Jia's son, and some reporters had already started writing news reports.
As for the fact that Zhao Qinglan, an important hostage, was inside, only those around Madam Sun and Inspector Wu knew about it.
After speaking with Madam Sun, Inspector Wu returned home without revealing Zhao Qinglan's existence to his subordinates.
He hadn't figured out the main thing: how to rescue this person while ensuring the safety of the other hostages to the greatest extent possible.
Despite his repeated assurances, he lacked confidence in his words.
When the Rong family learned that their son had been kidnapped and held hostage, they almost fainted. However, their immediate priority was to prepare one million Hong Kong dollars in cash.
Fearing that the police's slow action might delay the arrival of the money and anger the kidnappers, Madam Sun ordered her men to bring over the cash immediately.
While waiting there, Madam Sun suddenly thought of Zhao Qinglan's two followers and quickly asked Driver Wang.
Where are the two girls who were with Qinglan?
"Inside the restaurant with Miss."
Madam Sun's eyes lit up; these two girls were no ordinary people.
Thinking of this, she came to find Inspector Wu again.
Inspector Wu thought that Madam Sun was going to make some demands or suggestions again, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.
“My niece has two female veterans with her. They are very skilled and are protecting her. They are in the restaurant now.”
"Really?" Inspector Wu was somewhat surprised, but then he thought it made sense.
“It’s absolutely true. My driver saw them go in together. Do you think this can help?”
Inspector Wu pondered for a moment before replying, "If we could contact them, it would certainly be of some use, but unfortunately we don't know much about the situation inside right now."
I heard that Madam Sun was very disappointed, but she didn't cause any trouble and went back.
In the restaurant, Zhao Qinglan, Ding Yu, and Liu Dandan never gave up on saving themselves.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan had been observing the layout of the restaurant.
The kidnapper was alone and in a bad mood. He couldn't keep an eye on the group of hostages all the time, which gave Ding Yu and her group an opportunity.
