Zhou Bo was probably anxious to contact his superiors and leave Shanghai as soon as possible, so he didn't realize that he had been targeted by the National Security Bureau.
As he walked along the crowded main road, he turned into a small alley in a residential area.
The people who were tracking him followed suit, and they could capture him in one fell swoop as long as their superiors gave the order.
At this time, there were only two children squatting and playing at their doorsteps in the alley. After Zhou Bo entered the alley, he planned to pass through quickly.
At the quiet intersection, he heard footsteps behind him. Due to his professional training, his hearing was more sensitive than that of ordinary people. He could tell from the footsteps whether the other person was a martial artist.
After hearing the sound, Zhou Bo immediately became alert. He walked a few steps to the vicinity of two children squatting on the ground playing.
Soon, a plainclothes man in disguise came in from the alley. After the two sides exchanged glances, the National Security Bureau decided to take action decisively, reaching behind his waist, preparing to draw his gun.
At this critical moment, Zhou Bo immediately took control of the situation. The child closest to him and the other child who was farther away were so frightened by this sudden change that they stood there in a daze.
After a while, the two children were frightened by the scene and started crying.
The confrontation between the two sides reached a stalemate.
They followed behind to support their comrades, and when they entered the alley, they saw that Zhou Bo was holding a child hostage, and the one who was opposing him and pointing a gun at him was their own comrade.
Seeing the child being held hostage by Zhou Bo, no one dared to act rashly for a moment.
At this time, the head of the National Security Bureau walked out of the crowd and said to Zhou Bo.
"Zhou Bo, I advise you to surrender. You can't escape."
"Come on, kill me if you dare. It's worth it to have these two children buried with you."
"You bastard, what do you want?
"Hahaha, isn't your National Security Bureau very powerful? Come and arrest me!"
For a moment, the National Security Bureau was in a dilemma. The head of the National Security Bureau whispered to a subordinate beside him.
"Go check if the special forces sniper is in place."
The subordinate nodded and quietly left the crowd.
After seeing his subordinates leave, the head of the National Security Bureau continued to speak to Zhou Bo, trying to delay for more time.
"Zhou Bo, tell us your conditions. We can consider them. The two children are innocent."
"Conditions? I'm going to tell you, can you agree to them?"
"Tell me about it."
"Prepare a fully fueled car, and prepare 1,000 yuan in cash and tickets. Once everything is ready, I will release the hostages immediately. Otherwise, I will perish with them."
Seeing Zhou Bo getting emotional, the person in charge quickly spoke to comfort him.
"Zhou Bo, I understand your conditions, but I don't have the authority to agree to them. Could you give me some time to apply?"
After hearing this, Zhou Bo felt that the person in charge was deliberately delaying, so he held the hostage's dagger against his neck and moved closer to it.
The hostage he held was immediately cut on the neck by the sharp knife and blood began to flow.
The kidnapped child suddenly cried even louder.
Zhou Bo yelled at the child.
"Shut up, if you keep crying, I'll kill you"
Although the two children are not very old, they are at least seven or eight years old and can understand some words and principles.
After being threatened by Zhou Bo, the two were so scared that they immediately covered their mouths, but their tears never stopped.
The person in charge was also very anxious when he saw this.
"Zhou Bo, calm down. I really don't have the authority to agree to this. Can you give me ten minutes? Just ten minutes?"
Seeing that his words were sincere and that forcing him would not achieve his goal, Zhou Bo nodded and agreed.
After the person in charge saw that he had calmed down, he whispered to another subordinate beside him.
"Go check what's going on with the special forces? Zhou Bo's patience is limited. I can only delay for 10 minutes at most."
After hearing this, the subordinate nodded quickly and ran out to inquire about the situation.
Five minutes later, the subordinate who had just run away came back with news.
"Team Leader, there's no suitable sniper position in this alley. They're trying to pretend to agree to his request and lure him out to the main road. We've set up an ambush outside and we can start in ten minutes."
The person in charge nodded and said to Zhou Bo.
"Zhou Bo, good news! Your conditions have been approved by our superiors. In ten minutes, everything you need will be ready. However, we can't get in through this small lane, and you can't get out either. Our car will be parked on the main road outside."
"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. After that, I'll start."
"We have agreed to your conditions. You must ensure that the hostages are not harmed, otherwise we will shoot them immediately."
"As long as you keep your word, I won't regret it. I just want to leave here."
With Zhou Bo's words, the person in charge was temporarily relieved.
It seems that Zhou Bo still values his life very much. Even at this time, he is still thinking about escaping.
The person in charge suppressed his anger and waited calmly.
Soon, ten minutes were up, and the person in charge said to Zhou Bo.
"The car is already on the road outside. The money and ticket you want are inside the car."
"Now, all of you step back and unload your guns."
After hearing Zhou Bo's request, the person in charge took the lead in doing so, and the others also withdrew from the trailhead as required.
Seeing that the National Security Bureau personnel had retreated, Zhou Bo took the two children hostage and slowly walked outside.
His vigilant eyes kept an eye on the movements around him.
When Zhou Bo took the two children hostage to the small trail entrance, he was worried that something might happen and it would be difficult to move with the two children, so he let the younger child go.
Said to the child.
"Kid, go out and see if there are any police around. Once you confirm, tell me."
The child was frightened by his stern tone and nodded in agreement.
When they went out onto the main roads, all the plainclothes officers in uniform hid themselves.
When the child went out and saw that there was no one there, he ran back and reported honestly.
After listening to this, Zhou Bo asked him to follow behind him and held the other child in front of him.
Two children stood in front and behind him, and the three of them lined up in a row and slowly walked out.
The sniper on the opposite building had already locked onto Zhou Bo as soon as he came out. As long as he found the right angle, he could kill him with one shot.
The three of them lined up in a vertical row. When they were approaching the jeep parked on the side of the road, Zhou Bo saw that nothing was unusual and was about to open the door.
It was this action of opening the car door that exposed him to the sniper's sight. In a few seconds, the sniper seized the opportunity.
The bullet shot into Zhou Bo's forehead from between the second floor opposite, hitting him right in the face.
After Zhou Bo was shot, he fell straight down before he could react.
Zhou Bo was shot in the head, and blood mixed with brain matter flowed out. The child following behind him was so scared that he fainted when he saw this scene.
The child standing in front of him was still sobbing quietly, not daring to move.
