The woman was so frightened that she dared not move, and soon her eyes filled with tears.
Outside, Qin Gong'an and his team carefully searched for any traces left by the other party, leaving no suspicious place unchecked. Time passed slowly, and everyone was on edge. Finally, they discovered water stains on a wall.
Qin Gong's men surrounded the area, but because they didn't know if the other side was holding hostages, they dared not make any rash moves. The two sides remained deadlocked, neither daring to make the first move.
Xu Qingqing returned to get her car and saw Qin Gong'an as she passed by. She went up to him and greeted him: "Qin Gong'an, you've surrounded this place. Is there something going on inside? Could it be the enemy?"
Qin Gong'an was surprised to see her there: "What are you doing here, Comrade Xu?"
Xu Qingqing touched her nose. It turned out that after she reached the other side of the river, she parted ways with Secretary Ji and the others, and rushed back to get her bicycle. Fortunately, because of the gunshots earlier, everyone in the vicinity was hiding at home and dared not come out, so no one stole the bicycle.
Although there is a stamp on the vehicle, which can be used to find the bike, the wheels can still be sold for some money. In the end, she will only have a bicycle with a frame.
Xu Qingqing explained the reason briefly, and after hearing that Secretary Ji was alright, Qin Gong'an was finally relieved: "Comrade Xu, thank you very much for your help! If it weren't for you, the other party would very likely have succeeded."
"Not at all, Officer Qin, you're too kind!"
Xu Qingqing waved her hand, though she was actually a little guilty. She had come to see Secretary Ji to ask him to put his fingerprint on her document, and regardless of whether it worked out or not, she was going to ask him to be responsible for giving her a car.
He then looked at the surrounded house and pointed there: "Are the enemies inside?"
Qin Gong nodded: "Yes, but we're afraid they have hostages, so we haven't dared to move from here."
Hearing his explanation, Xu Qingqing touched her chin, circled around, pressed her ear against the wall, and listened carefully to the sounds inside. There was no talking, not a sound at all. She really didn't know if there were any hostages inside.
This is really a difficult situation!
With the other side holding hostages, Qin's police team would be at a disadvantage and would have to ensure the safety of the hostages. However, this would greatly increase the chances of the other side escaping. The other side had clearly thought of this, which is why they hid in a house where people were staying and took them hostage.
Having an enemy who knows you inside and out is truly terrifying. They can exploit your weaknesses and then retaliate against you; it's absolutely awful.
After looking around four times, Xu Qingqing fixed her gaze on the roof and whispered something in Qin Gong'an's ear. Qin Gong'an's eyes widened in surprise. He found a ladder and a bucket of boiler ash as Xu Qingqing requested.
Xu Qingqing took the bucket and climbed up with one hand, slowly walking across the tiles, trying not to make a sound. When she reached her spot, she lay down and quietly peeked out. Sure enough, a subordinate was standing in the courtyard, watching the outside, but he didn't notice her.
Peeking through the cracks in the wood after removing the tiles, Xu Qingqing saw that the other party had indeed taken hostages. Carefully observing the distance, she got up and moved directly above them, removing the tiles one by one to reveal the wood behind their faces. She stood up, took a deep breath, and then jumped up and slammed down.
If it weren't for her great strength, Xu Qingqing wouldn't have thought of infiltrating the enemy's territory in this way.
Hearing a series of cracking sounds from the roof, Nightingale looked up and saw wood fragments raining down on their heads and faces. The debris got into their eyes, making them rub them in discomfort. Only Nightingale reacted quickly and covered her eyes in time.
The next second, something sharp was pressed against my neck, and a familiar yet hateful voice appeared in my ear.
"We meet again, miss! Did you miss me?"
Xu Qingqing held a kitchen knife to her neck, smiling as she looked at Nightingale. The blind man, ignoring the pain in his eyes, raised his pistol and aimed it at Xu Qingqing, while his men also aimed at her, all the while rubbing their eyes.
Nightingale sneered, "Yes, I miss you terribly. I want you dead every moment, you little bitch. Do you think you'll ever leave alive after coming in here?"
"Who are you calling a little bitch?"
"You little bitch is cursing you!"
Hearing Xu Qingqing's chuckle, Nightingale immediately realized she'd been tricked. Gritting her teeth, she secretly gripped her pistol, ready to shoot the little bitch. This was the second time she'd suffered such humiliation. The first time was when she was mistaken for a beggar on the street, pointed at and whispered about in public, making her want to kill those people. If she weren't afraid of revealing her identity, would she have endured this humiliation?!
With fire blazing in her eyes and her chest heaving with anger, Nightingale looked at the blind man, gave him a look, and then gave him a sinister smile.
The blind man grabbed the hostage, pressed a pistol against the woman's head, and threatened Xu Qingqing: "Let her go, or I'll shoot her dead!"
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes. These people thought she was one of the police officers outside, and that she would be hesitant and allow them to manipulate her for fear of the hostage's safety. Unfortunately, that didn't work on her at all. With a forceful movement, the sharp kitchen knife cut through Nightingale's neck, and red blood flowed out, staining the entire cut.
"Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are? You want me to let her go? You're dreaming! I finally caught this big fish and I'm waiting to trade it for a car. You're telling me to let her go with just one sentence? I'm asking you, why should I? Just because you're so arrogant, you dare to make such an unreasonable demand of me to my face? Are you crazy?"
"Why don't you go back and ask your mother why she threw away the child without your consent, choosing you, this shameless placenta, who is ugly and short, yet makes such shameless demands? She's a complete scoundrel!"
"If I were your father, I shouldn't have kept you, this inhuman thing, just for a moment of pleasure. I should have ejaculated on the wall to prevent such trash from being born and bringing shame to the family."
After venting her anger, Xu Qingqing took a breath, picked up the box Nightingale had placed aside, and put it next to her. In front of everyone, she searched Nightingale's pockets, forcibly taking the gun from her hand as well, and pointed it at the others, threatening them: "Give your guns to this auntie. You can choose not to hand them over, but if this person dies, that's your problem."
This person must be of high status, looks like your leader. Are you sure you want to just watch her bleed to death?
The blind man's face turned ashen. After being scolded and threatened by Xu Qingqing for so long, no man could bear it. Seeing the increasing amount of blood on Nightingale's neck, it was clear that the other party had increased the pressure on her, otherwise so much blood wouldn't have flowed.
As he hesitated about whether to hand it over, Nightingale sneered, "Hmph! Don't hand it over. I don't believe you can really kill people. Besides, even if I die, you can't escape. As soon as you dare to make a move, they'll riddle you with bullets."
Xu Qingqing smiled: "You can try and see if I dare."
