At this point, Gao Ang had no right to speak and could only stay in his room, waiting for the outcome from the outside world.
"Senior brother, are we just going to stay at this stalemate?"
"What can we do? He refuses to talk, and our people can't just rush up there."
Cao Kun never expected the situation to develop to this point. In his view, he was just a small fugitive. Now that the threat of explosives was gone, he could simply push through the area.
However, the higher-ups made it clear that Fang Ziying had no intention of harming the hostages, so he had to be given the opportunity to face legal trial.
Gao Ang disagreed. He believed that no matter how much merit Fang Ziying had made, a death sentence was inevitable. He knew that surrendering would lead to his death, so he chose to die rather than submit. In Gao Ang's view, Fang Ziying was simply trying to live a few more seconds.
With the situation at a standstill outside, the branch bureau chief also came into Gao's room, which served as a temporary command post.
"Chief, what should we do? This can't go on like this." Criminal Investigation Captain Hou Dong asked, tightening his grip on his weapon, and then said, "How about we find an opportunity to kill him?"
"You can only say that here!" Zhao Yinglai glared at him fiercely. "Why should I do this for no reason? Even if he is to be tried, we have to wait for the court's verdict."
“He has hostages. According to the case file, Lao Fang is just a suspect, while Fang Ziying is the main culprit. Lao Fang's crime does not warrant the death penalty.” Hou Dong’s words were also correct. The case file provided by Xijiang Province was indeed as described. No matter how heinous or wicked Lao Fang was, she did not actually kill anyone with her own hands. Legally, there was no need for her to be executed. At most, she would only receive a life sentence.
Furthermore, it was her voluntary surrender today that gave Gao Ang and Cao Kun the opportunity to force Fang Ziying out of his lair, thus averting an explosion with unpredictable and terrifying consequences. This can be considered a meritorious act.
After deliberating for a long time, Zhao Yinglai slowly said, "Listen to my order: Suspect Fang Ziying has taken hostages and has malicious intentions. If necessary, he may be executed on the spot!"
"yes!"
...
Lao Fang, who was being shielded by Fang Ziying, looked slightly agitated. A faint, unreadable smile appeared on her lips as she slowly turned to Fang Ziying and said something.
Suddenly, Fang Ziying became agitated, "You're talking nonsense, you bitch!"
"Where is that kid in room K? Tell him to come out!" Fang Ziying's sudden outburst of anger left everyone bewildered and confused.
However, since he agreed to talk, his request was naturally granted. Gao Ang was carefully placed behind a bulletproof shield by the riot control personnel and cautiously faced Fang Ziying. "You're looking for me?"
He was a little confused. Why was he being called over to talk for no reason?
He and Fang Ziying had only met a few times, at most in the elevator, and they didn't communicate at all. If it was because of today's incident, it shouldn't be that serious. It was Cao Kun who pointed the gun at him, not Gao Ang.
"You bastard, just die!"
"Thud!" The first blow hit the shield, thankfully it was bulletproof.
"Smack!" The second blow landed on the ceiling of the stairwell, and at the same time, a third blow, "Smack!" landed on Fang Ziying's forehead.
It should have hit him on the forehead first, and then he pulled the trigger again due to inertia. However, due to his body position, the nozzle deviated and hit the ceiling of the corridor.
This was the first time Gao Ang had ever faced such a bloody scene, and the first time he had ever seen the horrific sight of a human brain being blown off.
Given his excellent eyesight and extremely sensitive sense of smell, he immediately vomited, directly onto the special agent squatting in front of him...
In the following days, Gao Ang lost all interest in conducting experiments or doing live streams. He only wanted to do one thing: move!
...
Have you found a place to live?
Upon hearing this, Gao Ang glared at Cao Kun with resentment in his eyes before saying, "I've looked at a few places, and I'm going to look at apartments later. If there really isn't one that's any further away from you, I'm planning to move to the Peninsula."
He realized that having this person around was never a good thing. In the past, it was just minor disputes, and he could lend a hand. But this time, he was given a spectacular scene of being turned into a "tofu pudding" (a metaphor for being completely humiliated).
He doesn't consider himself a chivalrous, model citizen; he's just an ordinary streamer who simply wants to earn money and play games peacefully, while also experiencing a richer life.
"Don't be like that, junior brother! I've discovered that you're my lucky star!" Cao Kun was naturally extremely unwilling to hear that Gao Ang was going to move away.
Thanks to Gao Yang's assistance, Fang Ziying, that bastard, was brought to justice on the spot. Because of his good behavior and the endorsement of the Xijiang Provincial Public Security Bureau, he was awarded a second-class merit. More importantly, he was the one who fired the shot that killed Fang Ziying, and Director Zhao was present at the scene. This meant he had officially come under the watchful eye of Director Zhao, this high-ranking leader.
"I'll introduce you to a property that's guaranteed to be excellent value for money!" Cao Kun patted his chest loudly.
"How far away are you?" Gao Ang was still bothered by this question.
"It's very far. We're located in Pudong, but the property is in Puxi!"
"Let's go take a look!"
Gao Ang hasn't had a good rest these past two days. Even though the hotel room was very clean, the scene from that day kept replaying in his mind.
The red and white, viscous liquid... Thinking of this, he stuck his head out of the car window again, pretending to vomit.
"Are you even capable? With that kind of guts... No wonder you didn't dare apply to the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system back then." Cao Kun mocked him with disdain. After he had finished vomiting, he handed Gao Ang a tissue. "Wipe yourself off. We're almost there. Don't leave a bad impression on the homeowner."
"Wait a minute, let me send a message to that person and ask her to come down and pick us up." Cao Kun parked Gao'ao's car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road at the entrance of Longyuan Community. This time, he took out his phone and typed a bunch of words.
"How did you find this neighborhood? This place is quite something."
Gao Ang glanced at the landlord twice and knew that this landlord was no ordinary person.
Jing'an District, that's the LC District of Shanghai. People who can rent out houses here must own at least three, five, six, seven, eight, or nine houses. Moreover, this community doesn't look like an old community. There are marble walls, winding cobblestone paths, and green plants everywhere. The buildings in this community should be no more than 3 years old.
The security guard at the entrance was very responsible, watching the two of them warily, his eyes filled not only with suspicion but also with a hint of contempt.
"Senior, why did those two security guards look at us so strangely?"
"Why should we care about them? You'll be a tenant here from now on, the one who provides them with food and clothing," Cao Kun said, glancing up at the security room. "They should be looking down on you, not me."
"ha?"
"Your car looks a little out of place in this environment." Cao Kun grinned and pointed to the surrounding parked cars. BMWs and Mercedes were too common; within their line of sight, there were a few small supercars...
"Have people in this era already ingrained the gene of discrimination into their very bones?" Gao Feng sighed, shook his head, and lay back in his chair to rest with his eyes closed.
A short while later, a tall figure walked up to their car, knocked on the window, and woke up the two people who had just closed their eyes to rest.
"Get out of the car. We've arrived. Be polite, this might affect your happiness for the rest of your life!" Cao Kun quickly patted Gao Ang, turned off the engine, and got out of the car. He, a real estate agent, was more nervous than Gao Ang, who was renting a house.
"What do you mean?" Gao Ang muttered, looking completely bewildered. Only after he noticed the cold air inside the car gradually dissipating did he get out of the car with a look of utter exhaustion.
Xia Weiwei frowned slightly, glancing at Gao Ang with a hint of displeasure, before turning her gaze to Cao Kun. "Team leader, is this the 'junior brother' you mentioned?"
“Well, junior brother, come here and let me introduce you. This is Xia Weiwei, the most beautiful girl in our team’s third group.” Cao Kun pulled Gao Ang, who was rubbing his eyes, over and introduced him to Xia Weiwei with a smile: “Xia, this is my junior brother, and also the roommate I found for you—Gao Ang.”
"Senior, beautiful lady, it's quite hot outside, shall we go inside and talk?"
Ang Gao was a natural at making friends, and besides, the tall girl in front of him was quite good-looking. Living with a girl... he was quite envious of that kind of life. As for her identity and profession... a mutated adult male should be fearless.
Xia Weiwei frowned slightly at Gao Yang's overbearing attitude, as if he were the one looking at the house. However, seeing Cao Kun leading the way into the house, she had no choice but to follow.
When he was at the entrance of the community, Gao Ang only took a general look at the outer perimeter of the community. His impression was not bad. At least it was not the old and dilapidated LC area. After passing a few small high-rise buildings on the outside, he realized that the inside of the community was also a different world.
What comes into view are rows of detached villas, each with its own small garden and outdoor parking space. I roughly estimated that each villa occupies at least a thousand square meters of land. In addition, they are all three-story villas, and they are in such a prime location in the city. The value of each villa must be at least tens of millions.
As Gao Ang walked, he sensed something was wrong. This was the direction leading to the villa area!
Xia Weiwei was a few steps ahead of Cao Kun when she waved to the door, and the door opened automatically.
"Senior, are you sure she's one of your group members?"
"yes."
"Are the benefits of being a police officer this good now?" Gao Ang began to doubt whether it was a mistake not to take the Shanghai police officer civil service exam.
"Xia's case is unique; you can ask her about it yourself!"
Cao Kun gave Gao Ang a mysterious smile, then chuckled and strode into the villa, secretly delighted: "Little rascal, as long as you're curious about Xia Weiwei, I'm definitely going to play matchmaker—no, I mean, matchmaker... I'm going to be your go-to matchmaker!"
Gao Ang hesitated at the door: Should I go in? This place looks expensive. If I pay the rent with my monthly live streaming income, I'm afraid I'll starve.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come in here, aren't you hot?" Cao Kun shouted when he saw him standing there in the blazing sun.
Since I'm already here, I might as well make the best of it. I took a deep breath and resignedly entered the villa.
