Chapter 11 (2/2)

nodded in agreement. He too would have done the same thing if he was in the

female reporter’s shoes.

However,

Se Cai noticed Lee Wei’s legs were shaking. He suspected she was only putting

on a brave front.

But can

she truly be blamed? She had to negotiate with a suicide attempter by the edge

of a tall building, who wouldn’t be afraid?

“Please

be careful and try to keep him occupied. The firemen are standing by. They’re waiting

for the right moment to strike.”

Deputy

Director Wong offered silently.

He had

reservations about the reporter’s decision, he had a sneaking feeling in his

gut that w.a.n.g Da Fa’s intention wasn’t just to talk to the reporter that simple,

but since his superior had allowed it, what else could he do?

Lee Wei

acknowledged Deputy Director Wong’s advice wordlessly. She took one slow step

after another until she was only 1 meter away from w.a.n.g Da Fa.

Pus.h.i.+ng

her microphone forward, she said with a bright smile, “Alright, brother w.a.n.g, I’m

here as you asked. Is there anything you want me to relay to the public

security bureau? I have faith that they’ll ensure ultimately justice prevails.”

“Can

you come closer? I would like to hold the mic, like how I see the celebrities

do it on Tv…”

w.a.n.g Da

Fa leaped back from the railing and stared at the microphone in Lee Wei’s hand.

He seemed ready to move forward and grab it but suddenly he sneered. He saw the

2 police officers trying to sneak towards them. He yelled, “Get back the two of

you! I only need the reporter lady here! After I’ve spoken my mind, I’ll

surrender freely. But, if you try anything funny before then, I swear I’ll

jump!”

“Brother

w.a.n.g, please talk to me. I’m sorry but I can’t grant your previous request

because it’s normally the interviewer that holds the mic. It’ll look weird for

you to be holding it. How about I come closer? Will that work?”

Lee Wei

smiled and exchanged an eye contact with her cameraman before taking one more

step forward.

“Something’s

wrong with this w.a.n.g Da Fa…”

Se Cai

observed. His instinct told him w.a.n.g Da Fa was acting too weirdly.

“I

suppose it’s wouldn’t hurt to read his mind…”

“I’m

such a failure… I only cared for myself and didn’t even think to pull my family

along with me or else they would have lived… I’m sorry, honey. I promise I’ll

come apologize to you personally after I’ve taken care of Gao Song that

b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

And the

bomb I’ve hidden to by the air duct will help me accomplish that. The moment

Gao Song appears, I’ll take all of us out with a blast! But that coward doesn’t

have the guts to come face me. Never mind… I’ll force him out by taking one of

these people here as hostage. The two officers will be too troublesome but this

female reporter will do nicely!”

Se Cai

was beside himself with shock when he learnt of w.a.n.g Da Fa’s true intention. He

wasn’t expecting the man to be so vicious!

Se Cai

scanned his surroundings more attentively and quickly spotted an inconspicuous

brown paper bag in the s.p.a.ce between the air duct and the rooftop floor. Se Cai

believed this was the bomb w.a.n.g Da Fa was referring to.

At that

moment, w.a.n.g Da Fa made to take the microphone but leaped one full step ahead!

Lee Wei

only managed to let out a yelp before w.a.n.g Da Fa had her in his chokehold and dragged

back to the building’s edge.

“n.o.body

moves! Or I’ll bring her with me!”
