C44 (1/2)

When the phone finally rang, Equations snatched it up. Although nervous, he still maintained his calm and didn't say anything.

A playful and cynical voice came over the phone, ”Hello, how are you?”

This guy really didn't think of himself as an outsider, and now he seemed to be chatting with him.

”Who are you?” Even though he knew he was a robber, he still pretended to be confused.

”Oh, looks like I need to introduce myself.” On the other end of the phone, the voice sounded like it belonged to a hippie. ”I'm the so-called robber, but I'll give you a friendly reminder. Actually, I'm a peace-loving person.”

How dare you call yourself a peace-loving person? Equations was furious, cursing and even having the urge to slam the phone.

However, he did not do so. He patiently said, ”Our policy is …”

Before he could finish his equation, that person interrupted him with a strange laugh, ”Tsk, tsk, don't waste your breath on me. Although I am very patient, I'm afraid my subordinates don't have that kind of patience!”

”What do you want?” The equation was aware that this person was not easy to deal with. He carefully organized his words, and cold sweat started to form on his palms.

On the side, the policemen had already started listening in. Meng Tao was even more nervous as he clenched his fists, his joints turning white.

”It seems that you have realized the urgency of time.” That person gently smiled. With a gentle voice, he said, ”Alright, then let's talk about my conditions.”

Meng Tao and the others all stared at the microphone in Equation's hands nervously. The equation was so tense that even his hands started to tremble, and beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead. ”Say it, what conditions do you have?”

”Send a helicopter to the top floor of Century House. Put fifty million in cash in the helicopter.” That person spoke very quickly, and it could be seen that these conditions had all been decided beforehand.

He wanted to bargain, but that person didn't even give him a chance. After speaking, he directly hung up.

The equations waved their hands violently in the air, then locked the phone up. They turned to look at the policeman who had just recorded down the information, ”How is it, have you checked?”

The officer helplessly shook his head and said with a dejected expression, ”No, the caller's number is not from the country at all. Furthermore, it's not from the country either. The number has been blocked.”

”What?” Equation frowned and slapped his forehead. After a long while, he said, ”It seems that this person is the leader of these robbers. However, he is not inside the Century Tower. He is outside, commanding.”

Meng Tao nodded his head: ”The equation is correct, seems like our enemy is very strong, and through their conversation, we can see that he has a strong mental fortitude, so to rescue the hostages and resolve this crisis is a huge challenge for us.”

”Hmm, that is to say, the robbers don't want money at all, but there is a high possibility that they are creating a crisis. Even if we send the helicopter and money over, they might explode.” The equation had calmed down by this time, and he analyzed it calmly using the information in his hand, as well as the information he got from the phone just now.

”Hmm, I also agree with Director Fang. From the information obtained so far, this group of robbers aren't here for money at all. They are here to cause damage and create a bad influence. After all, the host city of the Olympic Games is going to be announced soon.” Qin Jincheng was already over fifty years old and was the deputy director. With his rich scouting experience, he stood up and supported the idea of the equation.

He formed a fist with his hand, and punched his forehead twice. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and with a low and powerful voice he said: ”Since it's like this, then we still have a plan here, I will hand it over to Equation and Qin Jin. I will go to the scene to see if I can get in touch with the robbers.”

”No, this is too dangerous!” Equations waited for a group of policemen to stop him.

”Right now, the safety of the people is the most important thing. As the secretary of the city council, I must stand up for them!” Meng Tao said loudly. He did not care about what others were stopping him at all as he turned around and walked out of the command office.

Not long after Liu Du arrived at the passage, he heard the ruckus in the hall that had just left.

Mixed in with a few screams of pain and a few angry laughter and curses, the crowd gradually quietened down.

Liu Du's heart tensed up, he looked through the gap in the window and saw five sturdy men standing inside, holding onto the AK-47s, they were all in camouflage, and were cursing loudly.

Beneath their feet, a few people who had been kicked down were crawling back while crying.

The five of them were also conversing in a language that Liu Du did not understand. One of them spoke in Chinese, ”All of you, obediently squat down.

He was pointing at the person who was beaten to death at the very beginning. The crowd retreated in fear, not daring to make a sound.

Liu Du saw that Meng Yuqing's head was lowered, and was standing motionlessly in the crowd, so other people did not notice her.

There were five people here, so the remaining, including them, should all be at the broadcast room area. Liu Du's goal was to control the broadcast room first.

When he arrived at the fifth floor, he heard someone talking inside. Although he didn't understand, from the sound, he could guess that there were three people upstairs and roughly knew where they were.

Liu Du secretly held onto a few coins, calmed down his breathing, and then flicked a coin towards the distance.

”Ding.”

The light voice was both strange and abrupt. The three men upstairs immediately noticed it and two of them started walking towards the coin.

The chance had come, Liu Du took a deep breath, then suddenly jumped out. Out of the coins in his hand, one shot towards the remaining person, and the remaining few shot towards the lights in the building.

Ah!

A blood-curdling screech rang out, and then the entire fifth floor sank into darkness.

Only the radio room was still lit. A person could be seen standing inside the room and looking outside in shock.

”Yes …”

Liu Du found the power source in an instant, rolled on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a coin flew out again, striking the power source.

The loudspeaker suddenly stopped. This time, the entire fifth floor was in darkness.

In the darkness, he could hear the man roaring loudly in the broadcast room. Outside, the two men who had just checked their coins were also hiding in a corner, cursing loudly.

With the sound of gunfire, Liu Du's body stuck closely to the wall like a gecko and swam up. He could clearly feel the trembling sensation of the bullets hitting the wall beneath his feet.

Liu Du's body was covered in cold sweat, but he did not dare be careless. He silently cursed: Why don't you bring any coins?

In the darkness, he could not see anything inside the building, even with Liu Du's eyesight.

As a result, they could only approach and subdue the two of them. Liu Du slowly walked forward, his excellent hearing had helped him greatly, and the sound of his breathing, in his ears, became clearer.

Closer, closer. The gunfire had stopped, and the breathing sounds were clearer.

It was time, Liu Du's fists were filled with power, he did not care which direction his fists landed on, and directly attacked with both of his fists, striking towards the two people.
