Yan State…
The gloomy sky foreboded that heavy rain was coming.
The largest shopping mall in Yan State was a mess. A bomb had been detonated there half an hour ago.
The sirens and warning lights of the ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars were everywhere. The crowd was getting larger, and the police on duty had to use their shields to form a barrier.
“Everyone, please stop pushing forward. It’s very dangerous here… move backward…”
“Stop taking pictures!”
“Everyone needs to evacuate to avoid being stamped on…”
The volume of the loudspeaker was being turned to the maximum, yet it still could not overcome the people’s curiosity. The crowd was so much noisier compared to the loudspeaker. Some of them were holding their mobile phones up and going live on their social media accounts…
“How many people are trapped inside?”
The man’s glorious voice was heard in the command room that had been set up temporarily. His face was as calm as the water, and it seemed like he was not even slightly bothered by the situation.
“Approximately * people [TN: the * mark indicates the number of people trapped inside the building]!” The manager of the building wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at the senior commander of the Special Forces from the Capital City.
“We had already activated the emergency signal after the first explosion. The majority of the people had been successfully evacuated, but those who are still trapped there were at a higher level at that time. The elevator had been broken on one of the middle floors. That’s why they are trapped inside…”
“Roughly how many criminals are inside?” Shao Yibai asked the advisor next to him.
Liu Tong, the chief advisor who was dressed in the Special Forces uniform reported sternly, “Report, commander. According to our initial scouting, there are about 7 of them and they’re all outlaws. It is likely that they are the same group of people who had snatched the handguns in Qing Tong City last week!”
“They had probably planned to come to Yan State this time to grab some money and run. The self-made explosives that they brought with them went off by accident. Some of the witnesses claimed that two criminals were also injured when the bomb went off just now!”
A murderous glint flashed through the man’s slender long eyes. The corners of his mouth tugged up into a smile. “Fools!”
Shao Yibai grabbed the construction plan of the building and scrutinized it. The building had a total of four exits and an internal passage for the employees.
He pondered for a moment and then put the construction plan down. He then picked up the telescope, looked into the building, and ordered in a low voice, “Arrange four snipers at the southeast 10 o’clock direction. Block the other exits with our people along with men from our brother’s department. If someone were to break out, our people will be the one standing in front.”
“Pick 3 soldiers with good physical qualities to enter the building through the employees’ passage with me. We’ll be working together!”
After Shao Yibai finished speaking, the faces of the few police officers from Yan State had gotten paler. The riot police captain mumbled, “Mr. Shao, you… you’re going in on your own? That won’t do! Capital City…”
Shao Yibai was the proper heir to the Shao Family in Capital City. With the status and influence of the Shao Family in Capital City, how could a mere chief deputy of the Yan State bore the fault if something were to happen to Shao Yibai?
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”
A hint of a smile flashed across the man’s devilishly handsome face. He was someone who liked extreme activities, so it would be a pity if he was not allowed to participate in such an occasion.
Ten minutes later, three well-trained Special Forces soldiers were picked.
Shao Yibai tightened the handgun on his body, put on a protective mask, and attached the bullets to the side of his waist. Then, the man pushed the dagger into his military boots and fixed up the three soldiers.
The employees’ passage was relatively hidden, and since the criminals inside were in a high state of tension, they did not even notice when Shao Yibai sneaked in along with the three soldiers.
The hostages were being gathered in the middle of the lobby on the first floor. The two injured criminals had tourniquet tied around their bodies, and the other criminals looked to be emotionally unstable. They walked around anxiously with guns in their hands and argued with one another from time to time.
They did not intend to make such a huge commotion!
There were several jewelry shops here, and they were planning to leave after robbing the shops. Who knew that the micro-explosive that they were going to use to break the counters went off accidentally and attracted this many police.
Right now, they had no choice but to fight for their lives.
When Shao Yibai came out from the second-floor passage, he was looking down from above and had a clear view of the situation in the lobby.
The few kidnappers were not stupid. They had put the hostages in the most obvious location, but they had hidden behind the counters or pillars to protect themselves.
The criminals were in a terrible mood because they were in confrontation for far too long. Anxiety could trigger confusion easily. Although most of their weapons were handmade, they still could cause a certain level of damage in a given range. Since there were so many hostages, just a single shot could be fatal.
Shao Yibai observed the situation for a while. Then, he raised his head and saw the lobby’s ceiling. He gesticulated to remind them that they would pay attention to the top of their heads.
Suddenly, the dolphin-shaped air-cushion that was hanging on top of the lobby descended slowly. The stomach of the huge dolphin used for advertising purposes exploded and thousands of ribbons fell and formed a beautiful ribbon rain.
The hostages were instantly surrounded by ribbons. The sudden change in the atmosphere caused the crowd to exclaim softly, “Wow…”
The ribbons were stuffed into the dolphin for a celebration a few days later. There were even prize-giving slips inside.
A lucky hostage caught a ribbon with a prize on it–a seven-day tour in Malaysia…
‘Ah, I don’t want to travel! I want to go home!’
The criminals did not understand what was going on. Their mouths were wide open in shock as they watched the huge dolphin fell from above. The incident happened too suddenly. They did not receive any professional training, so they did not have such a quick coping mechanism.
Suddenly, a few dull gunshots were heard as the gun equipped with the most advanced silencer quickly took down three criminal. The crowd did not understand what was happening, they were still immersed in the joy of the ribbon rain and did not descend into commotion.
Two of the criminals found the source of the attack and raised their guns.
The two daggers in Shao Yibai’s hands were thrown out one step ahead of them.
They pierced right through their hearts!
The people outside did not hear anything, so they continued to wait anxiously.
Suddenly, the building’s main entrance opened up and hundreds of people ran out with ribbons on their heads.
There were cries, laughter, cheers, praises, and applause from all around the area.
The crowd was getting very excited!
Damn it!
There was not a visible movement that they could observe from outside of the building, but hundreds of people had just been rescued in under 20 minutes.
What happened to the war between criminals and police? Why was it different from what was shown on TV?
Why were they covered in ribbons?
The people were not only surprised but also amazed. Some family members even fell to the ground on their knees crying.
Such a secret rescue operation had been accomplished by merely four people. In such a short time, they had moved so rapidly and yielded no casualty at all. The Yan State police who were waiting outside stared at them with their mouths wide open.
When the person in charge of the building learned that the festive dolphin had been of great help, he took a deep breath and asked with a trembling voice, “The four ropes that tied the dolphin still had only the thickness of a finger. How did the four of you shoot from the second floor at the same time? How did you guys work in such synchronization and managed to be so accurate in your aim…”
The chief advisor next to Shao Yibai, Liu Tong, laughed and said, “This proves how well-trained the members of the Shao team are! We can work in synchronization even when there’s ten of us. Four men taking a shot at the same time meant nothing to us!”
The devilish yet proper man kept the daggers that were handed over to him. The blood on the dagger had already been wiped clean. He pushed the two daggers into his military boots and fixed his military uniform. Although he had a mask on, his handsome appearance caused the girls in the crowd to scream in excitement.
Shao Yibai frowned.
Then, his mobile phone suddenly rang inside the command room.
He pressed the answer button, and the Old Master’s deep voice rang through the phone. “Shao Yibai, you bastard. You better come home immediately!”
Shao Yibai pulled his phone half a meter away from his ears. “Dad, I’m not a bastard. Have you forgotten that I’m your bastard?”
