Chapter 45 Where is she? Where are they now?
Xu Jialan smiled and turned away.
Plainclothes police officers in the dark also followed.
Shen Xichuan stood in front of the car, watching her back gradually disappear in the distance.
His eyes flashed, and instead of getting in the car, he leaned against the front of the car and took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket.
The smoke slowly blurred his face, but failed to cover the light in his eyes.
Shen Xichuan lowered his head, took out his mobile phone, picked out a few unread messages and replied.
Shen Yankai also sent a lot.
They are all related to Shen’s latest project.
He replied nonchalantly, cigarette between his fingers.
After a while, Shen Xichuan looked at the time and found that almost twenty minutes had passed since Xu Jialan left.
He frowned and called Xu Jialan directly.
But no one answered.
After hitting him a few times, his eyes and brows turned cold, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Shen Yankai sent him another message at this time.
Shen Xichuan didn’t reply, but stood up and walked quickly towards the elevator.
Xu Jialan didn't tell him what he was going to buy.
So, he could only start looking from the first floor.
At this time, the elevator door just reached the first floor.
He heard a lot of screams.
Everyone kept pouring out of the mall.
Shen Xichuan frowned, walked out quickly, then grabbed a passerby and asked in a deep voice, “What happened in the mall?”
The man replied in fear, "No... I don't know. There were gunshots. There were gunshots just now. Everyone ran away."
After saying that, the man took advantage of Shen Xichuan's inattention, broke free from his restraints, and hurried towards the exit.
Shen Xichuan reacted and immediately went up.
At this time, the sounds of police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks sirens were heard outside.
Shen Xichuan moved quickly, taking two steps at a time, rushed into the elevator, and arrived on the second floor.
He happened to meet the plainclothes police officer who was responsible for protecting Xu Jialan's safety.
He walked down with a very serious expression.
Shen Xichuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly rushed forward and grabbed him, "Where is Xu Jialan?"
The plainclothes police officer was stunned for half a second, then recognized the man in front of him as Xu Jialan's husband.
He took a deep breath and explained, "Professor Xu has been held hostage. Our people have already arrived here. Sir, don't worry, we will definitely rescue Professor Xu."
Shen Xichuan’s heart skipped a beat, he held him tightly, and asked sharply, “Where is she? Where are they now?”
The plainclothes police officer didn’t know Shen Xichuan’s identity, and spoke subconsciously, “Sir, don’t worry, we will definitely rescue the person…”
Before he finished speaking, Shen Xichuan spoke again, “I ask you, where is she?”
His eyes were cold and oppressive.
The plainclothes officer was startled, but still told him, "On the... rooftop, they are on the rooftop."
After saying that, Shen Xichuan shook him off and quickly rushed towards the elevator not far away.
The plainclothes police officer didn't react until the elevator door closed.
At this time, Captain Chen had already arrived with his men.
Captain Chen's anxious voice came from the headset.
"Where are the people? Where are they now?"
The plainclothes officer immediately replied, "Rooftop."
Captain Chen immediately ordered other police officers to go up and rescue people, and also ordered the fire department to prepare life-saving air cushions.
Hearing the sound, the plainclothes officer hurriedly said, "Captain Chen, Professor Xu's husband knew she was on the rooftop and rushed over too."
Captain Chen frowned, "Professor Xu's husband?"
"right."
"Okay, I understand."
Captain Chen immediately negotiated with the rescue personnel and rushed to the rooftop.
…
At the same time, on the shopping mall rooftop.
Qi Jinyou held a dagger against Xu Jialan's neck.
She frowned, breathing rapidly, not daring to move, holding a small packaging bag tightly in her hand.
That was a gift prepared for Shen Xichuan.
A custom-made pen.
Just now, when she went to get the pen, Qi Jinyou found the opportunity to hold her hostage.
Several plainclothes police officers stood opposite.
They held guns in their hands, pointing them at Qi Jinyou.
"Qi Jinyou, calm down and don't hurt Professor Xu."
The man who held Xu Jialan hostage was Qi Jinyou.
There was crazy hatred in his eyes.
"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down? They killed Yu'er, and you sent people to protect them?"
The plainclothes police officers frowned.
They knew that if they said anything wrong at this time, Xu Jialan would be hurt.
"But Professor Xu is innocent. Do you want to hurt an innocent person?"
Qi Jinyou laughed crazily, "Innocent? How could she be innocent? If she hadn't found those so-called evidences, you wouldn't have found me. That couple would have gone to hell and apologized to Yu'er long ago."
The plainclothes police officer watched the dagger cut through the skin on Xu Jialan's neck, his breath caught in his throat, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
Shen Xichuan arrived.
He rushed out of the door on the rooftop, looked up, and saw Xu Jialan being held hostage not far away.
And the glaring red on the neck.
Shen Xichuan's brain went blank for a moment.
He quickly came to his senses, took a quick look at Xu Jialan, and then gave her a reassuring look.
When Xu Jialan saw him appear, his heart suddenly stopped for a few seconds.
Her chest heaved violently, she shook her head slightly, her eyes red, and she wanted him to leave.
She wanted to tell him that it was too dangerous here and wanted him to leave.
Shen Xichuan understood her look, but he also shook his head.
Xu Jialan, who had been very calm just now, seemed to be on the verge of collapse at this moment.
She clutched the bag tightly in her hand.
Qi Jinyou was stunned when he saw the man who suddenly appeared.
Then I reacted.
He followed Xu Jialan for a while.
She recognized the man in front of her as her husband.
Qi Jinyou stared at Shen Xichuan for a few seconds, and his intuition told him that this man was dangerous.
He held Xu Jialan's shoulders, held a dagger in his other hand, pressed it against her neck, and slowly backed away.
"Don't come over here, or I'll cut you down with a knife."
A cool breeze blew from the rooftop, making Xu Jialan's head feel a little stinging, his whole body cold, and his fingertips holding the bag turned white.
Shen Xichuan heard his heartbeat getting faster and faster.
He raised his hands and said, "Calm down. If you want to take hostages, I can go over there instead. Release my wife."
Xu Jialan's breath was caught in his throat. "No."
She bit her lip and shook her head.
The cold blade pressed against her neck, sending a stinging sensation throughout her body.
She felt the warm liquid running down her neck.
She knew it was her blood.
"It's your turn?"
Qi Jinyou sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? What I want is Professor Xu's life."
As he spoke, he pushed the blade inward.
Blood dripped from the blade.
It dyed Xu Jialan's clothes red.
Shen Xichuan’s eyes were scarlet, “No!”
