Chapter 97 I'll be a hostage! Release my best friend! Chief Fu is here to save her!
Baoqi couldn't help but back away, screaming, "Ah! Don't come any closer!"
The blond-haired man had already grabbed Zhao Baoqi by the neck and pulled her close to his chest.
Xia Mian heard Zhao Baoqi's scream on the phone and panicked. "Baoqi, Baoqi? How are you?"
Zhao Baoqi's tears streamed down her face. Her phone was still on a call, and she could only feel the assailant's large hand gripping her neck tighter and tighter, her breathing becoming increasingly shallow.
Xia Mian was at a loss. When she heard that Zhao Baoqi had been taken hostage, she nervously said to Song Tianxue, "I have to go save Baoqi. Can you go with me?"
Song Tianxue stood up unsteadily, "I can."
Her eyes were swollen and she was clearly still shaken. Although she said she could, she held onto Xia Mian's backpack strap tightly.
Xia Mian couldn't bear to leave her alone, so she grabbed her wrist and quickly walked out.
The security captain was sweating profusely. They were from a high-end shopping mall, and the customers who usually came to the mall were all wealthy and powerful. But now this had happened.
If anything were to happen to a customer, he feared that his job as team leader would be over.
Xia Mian dragged Song Tianxue all the way to the counter where Zhao Baoqi was being held hostage. By this time, the mall was being cleared out, and many customers had been cleared out, leaving the entire mall deserted.
Xia Mian saw dozens of security guards surrounding the counter, and several saleswomen had already shrunk behind the counter.
In the very center of the counter, Zhao Baoqi's petite and slender figure trembled uncontrollably as a vicious thug gripped her neck tightly.
Upon seeing Xia Mian, she cried even harder, "Mianmian! Mianmian!"
She was sobbing uncontrollably. In all her life, she had never encountered anything like this before!
"Baoqi, don't cry." Xia Mian looked at the three desperate criminals, steadied herself, and sized them up. These three were a bit troublesome, but if she and the security guards were together, they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
Now it's all about teamwork!
Song Tianxue tried to hide the marks of abuse on her body. Her pride as a young lady had long since shattered into pieces and could not be pieced back together.
If Xia Mian hadn't arrived in time, she probably would already be...
She never expected that Zhao Baoqi would also suffer such a terrible fate. The thought of the three thugs' methods filled her with worry for Zhao Baoqi.
She secretly used her phone to notify the Song family and also called the police.
Not only did she call the police, but the mall's security department also just called the police.
...
Around 4:30 pm.
The special forces camp is holding its monthly summary meeting.
A hurried report suddenly rang out at the conference room door.
Fu Yanshen looked up with displeasure, only to hear his guard report, "Reporting to the commander, emergency! A thug has attacked in the city center!"
A murmur rippled through the meeting room: "Are there any hostages?"
Are there any casualties?
While everyone was discussing it, the guard hurriedly walked up to Fu Yanshen and said, "Sir, Miss Xia and Miss Zhao are also in that shopping mall. They seem to be hostages!"
Fu Yanshen clenched his fist tightly, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He stood up almost without hesitation, fastening his pistol to his waist.
The guards immediately followed behind him, and Fu Yanshen strode out while giving orders.
"Deploy personnel to immediately block all exits of the mall and surround some nearby streets."
"Isolate all intersections, notify the fire department and police department, arrange ambulances and helicopters for support, and send all relevant personnel to the scene to provide assistance! There must be no delay!"
He took a deep breath and arranged everything needed for the rescue.
The guards followed closely behind him, quickly relaying his orders and notifying all personnel in each department to cooperate.
"Have the Emergency Management Bureau and the Police Department find out as quickly as possible how many criminals there are and whether they are armed!"
Fu Yanshen's eyes were icy cold, and his whole body exuded a chilling killing intent.
The voice seemed to come from a freezing hell, "Tell them not to do useless work and waste unnecessary time!"
His voice was firm and authoritative, and the subordinates in the conference room immediately obeyed his instructions and began to work in an orderly manner.
The military off-road vehicle was right outside. He got in, and the car sped off towards the city.
He sat in the car, his handsome face radiating coldness. The bodyguard stole a glance at his expression through the rearview mirror; the leader was in a terrible mood.
Inside the mall, Xia Mian was negotiating with the thugs. "I can be a hostage. Release my best friend. She's a coward. And I can tell you, I'm Xia Mian, the heiress of the Xia Group. I'm worth more than my best friend."
"I don't know if you're after money or something else, but please let go of my best friend. She's just an ordinary passerby."
As she was speaking, a flurry of footsteps approached, and about twenty or thirty tattooed men appeared, some holding steel pipes and others carrying guns!
Xia Mian frowned when she saw the gun.
These people actually have guns?
Things are getting more and more complicated!
The leader, a man with a terrifying wolf's head tattooed on his arm, slapped the blond-haired man on the head. "I told you not to touch that bitch, but you insisted! You were going to run away, and now look what happened!"
They originally intended to rob the mall, and they did indeed successfully steal a considerable amount of jewelry and gold ornaments from the first floor.
But this blond guy was a lecher. Seeing that Song Tianxue was beautiful and alone, he followed the unlucky Song Tianxue.
At this time, there were still many of their accomplices on the ground floor, who had tied up the people selling jewelry and gold in the lobby.
Xia Mian grew increasingly anxious, especially after seeing that the other side had guns, and that there were more than three of these thugs!
If it were only three, she would feel confident, but with so many... she felt the odds were against her.
However, sitting idly by and waiting for death was not her style.
Suppressing her urgency, she said to the blond-haired man, "You want to sleep with women? I'll let you sleep with them, but you have to let my best friend go!"
"Furthermore, you arrested me, and I'll make the Xia family pay double the ransom. Aren't you just after money?"
Zhao Baoqi cried loudly upon hearing Xia Mian's words, ruining her makeup.
"Mianmian, no! I don't want you to switch with me! Mianmian, don't come any closer!"
Huang Mao glanced at Xia Mian's beautiful face, which was comparable to that of a female celebrity, and then at Zhao Baoqi, whose makeup was ruined by crying after being caught. The difference between the two was indeed noticeable.
The man with the tattooed wolf head frowned. "The Xia family's daughter? Are you sure?"
