Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Su Jianyu dealt with the little troublemaker, he went back to setting up traps. Just as Su Jianyu was setting traps, the higher-ups of the city police department found out about the failure of the ESU special forces’ attack.

Su Jianyu’s instructor, Fan Jianbin, had a proud smile on his face. Bai Wenlong, who was beside him, glared at Fan Jianbin. Fan Jianbin awkwardly coughed twice. Bai Wenlong snorted and then picked up a walkie-talkie.

He was surprised by Su Jianyu’s ability and admired the latter’s skill. However, the purpose of this drill was to show the new recruits the abilities of the veterans. If Su Jianyu got a clean victory against them, wouldn’t these veterans be a bad example for the other rookies? Bai Wenlong, who was unsettled, began to issue orders.

“Get the fourth team over here!”

“…”

As Bai Wenlong gave the order, another ESU team was mobilized. However, this time, he did not send the ESU team to launch an attack immediately. Instead, he sent a negotiator over. He wanted the negotiator to distract Su Jianyu from the front and then have the ESU team attack from behind! He did not believe that this kid could turn the building into a military fortress!

Soon, the negotiator arrived at the scene. He raised his hands high and one of his hands held his coat open, indicating that he was not carrying any weapons. He walked straight into the building and shouted as he walked.

“I am a representative of the police! I am here to negotiate!”

He stopped at the gate and repeated his words. His loud voice echoed in the building. Su Jianyu had already set up several traps and heard the voice coming from the building’s entrance.

He glanced at the entrance quietly and didn’t intend to pay attention to the negotiator, but at that moment, a crisp electronic voice sounded in his head. The system screen unfolded in front of him.

[ Host, please choose from the following options. ]

[ Option 1: agree to negotiate. Reward: increased mental strength, intelligence, and various negotiation skills. ]

[ Option 2: do not accept negotiations. Reward: various weapon design skills. ]

Su Jianyu looked at the two options. Although the reward of the second option was very good, it was not very useful in this situation. Without any hesitation, Su Jianyu chose the first option.

[ Congratulations, host, for successfully making a choice.]

[ The rewards have been distributed.]

As the system notification ended, a golden-blue light that only Su Jianyu could see poured into his body. He suddenly felt his heartbeat slow down, followed by a calmness that permeated his mind.

A series of negotiation skills flashed rapidly in his head. After feeling the reassurance brought forth by the upgrade, Su Jianyu picked up a walkie-talkie. After adjusting it, he cleared his throat and began to speak.

The negotiator who was repeatedly shouting at the doorway suddenly heard a crackling noise and the sound of a man speaking. He followed the sound and found a walkie-talkie in a hidden corner near the entrance. He was a little surprised and activated the device.

“Hello? Hello?”

Su Jianyu heard a response from the other side and immediately made his demands.

“Prepare a car for me. It can’t be too conspicuous!”

“Also, it can’t be fitted with any explosives or tracking devices. I’ll be checking it!”

“Also, prepare five million in cash for me and have it ready in the car!”

Before the negotiator could say anything, Su Jianyu had already made a series of demands. He was stunned by Su Jianyu’s actions and stood rooted to the ground.

‘What was going on? Didn’t they say it was a drill? Why did he sound so serious?’

The negotiator almost believed he was making a deal with a real gangster now. However, Su Jianyu’s next words made him speechless.

“Then, immediately prepare a KFC bucket for me in front of the building!”

The negotiator almost subconsciously asked,

“Why a KFC bucket?”

He really didn’t understand. ‘Wasn’t this a kidnapping?’ Su Jianyu obviously didn’t expect the negotiator to ask him such a question. He almost could not hold himself back, but fortunately, as a professional ‘gangster’, he was not intimidated by this small matter.

He replied fiercely, “Because I’m hungry.”

“Well…” When the negotiator heard Su Jianyu’s words, he did not know how to answer at all. He really wanted to yell at Su Jianyu and take this more seriously, but the voice from the other side sounded no different from a real bandit. It was so much so that he could even be nominated for the Oscars for his performance…

Yan Tingyun, who was behind Su Jianyu, wanted to hide her face. How could she be subdued by such a guy? The ‘corpses’ on the ground could not help but burst into laughter when they heard Su Jianyu’s words.

Su Jianyu immediately turned his head toward them and hissed in a low voice, “Take it more seriously! This is still a drill! Remember that all of you are just corpses!”

“…”

Everyone was speechless. Just as the negotiator was trying to stall for time with Su Jianyu, another ESU team had already sneaked around the back of the building. Just like the previous team, they did not make a sound at all. They just relied on their hand gestures and advanced stealthily. After receiving the signal from the negotiators, they immediately began to sneak into the building. However, just as they had just entered the back door, a red light flashed continuously in the corner.

The sprinklers above them suddenly came to life, and a huge burst of water rained on them. All the ESU team members were instantly drenched.

Then, a beeping sound came from the ground, and all the police officers lowered their heads to see where it came from. On the other side, Su Jianyu, who was speaking to the negotiator, received a notification from the monitoring app on his phone.

Then, he immediately said to the negotiation expert, “Your ESU team members in the rear are all dead.”

When the negotiation expert heard this piece of information, he was puzzled. Was this kid trying to blow him up? He quietly pressed on his earphones and asked in a low voice, “What’s the situation on your side?”

The members of the special forces stood where they were and did not know how to answer. The team leader considered his words for a moment and said, “We got drenched by the sprinklers.”

When the negotiator heard this, he raised an eyebrow. Weren’t they only drenched by the sprinkles? At most, they could be considered to have been discovered by Su Jianyu, but how did they die in battle?

He immediately said into the walkie-talkie, “Hey, are you trying to blow me up?”

Su Jianyu did not answer him.

The ESU team leader hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Under our feet, there is a pile of exposed cables in a shallow pit. There’s water coming up to our calves.”

“Right now, there is an alarm ringing inside.”

After listening, the negotiator immediately understood the situation. This meant that as long as Su Jianyu so chooses, this group of ESU team members would all be electrocuted to death! This Su Jianyu is unexpectedly difficult to deal with!
