Li Meijun's face also darkened. All the soldiers around noticed the situation here, quickly surrounded them, and aimed their guns at the other side.
"Put down your guns!" The officer in charge of the retreat strode forward with a gun in hand, shouting loudly.
The other party smiled sinisterly, "Don't come over here! If you come over again, I'll beat her to death!"
Everyone had no choice but to stop, and Li Meijun's heart sank. If Qi Yalan was to die, how would she explain it to Qi Lao when she got back?
"Don't mess around!" The officer had to stop and slow down his tone.
The dark, thin, middle-aged man pouted at Li Meijun and said, "You, old woman, stand away from me too!"
Li Meijun's face darkened. She had been hunting hawks all day, but she had never expected to be pecked in the eye by a hawk. Her face was grim. She calmly stepped back and asked, "What do you want?"
"Hehe, if you don't want anything to happen, I'll tell you guys to get away from me. Put down your guns and get me a car." The man said, relying on his thin body, he realized that something was wrong almost as soon as the army arrived at the scene, and fled to the periphery while fighting.
However, he hadn't expected that the security here was so tight that there was no chance for him to break out. Seeing that their carpet-style search circle was getting smaller and smaller, he had no choice but to take a risk and captured a young military doctor as a hostage.
Li Meijun had already retreated to the side of the officer. He was still hesitating, but Li Meijun stopped him and shouted, "Do as he says!"
She deliberately raised her voice, hoping to make the dark and thin man happy and relax his guard a little.
After all, Li Meijun was old and had seen a lot of battles. As soon as she spoke, the officer quickly came over and immediately waved to two soldiers, "Go, do as he asks, and drive a car over to the front."
At the same time, people were sent to the front to find opportunities to pass on information to the mopping-up forces in the rear.
While making arrangements, he continued to shout at the man, "We have already fulfilled your request. The hostage is in your hands. What do you plan to do to get him released?"
The man smiled sinisterly: "When I am safe, I will release you."
While the man was speaking, Li Meijun had already whispered hurriedly, "Is there anyone with better marksmanship? Shoot him dead!"
The officer sighed helplessly, "The sharpshooters are all staying ahead to clean up the scene. Besides... the distance is too far, and the criminals are too alert to get close. I guess even if the sharpshooters were there, it would be difficult to take action easily."
Li Meijun frowned, gritting her teeth. The dark, thin man holding Qi Yalan hostage was already impatient. He grabbed Qi Yalan's collar and led her back a few steps, shouting, "Hurry up! My patience is limited. If I'm pushed to the limit, I'll just end it all. Even if I die, I'll take someone with me."
As he spoke, he nudged Qi Yalan's head with his gun, forcing her to look up. She stumbled, her back dripping with sweat, her legs weakening, and she was almost unable to stand.
Li Meijun felt distressed at the sight, and Qie Yalan seemed to see her anxiety, so she clenched her teeth and said nothing.
The officer quickly called out to the officer, "Don't be impulsive. The car will be here soon."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a military pickup truck approaching could be heard. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, yet at the same time, an indescribable solemnity appeared on their faces.
The criminal is very cunning. He has a hostage and will definitely not let him go easily. And if he takes the hostage and drives away, it will probably be even more difficult to catch him.
When the dark and thin middle-aged man heard the sound of the car coming, he seemed to see hope and couldn't help but smile.
When the military pickup truck appeared in sight, before it got close, he shouted, "Stop the car, right there! Everyone in the car, get out, and the rest of you, move away. Do you hear me?!"
While saying this, he pointed the gun at Qi Yalan's head. Although Qi Yalan said nothing, her expression revealed her fear at the moment.
