Chapter 171 - Take Me to Him!
Fu Yuan had just finished speaking when he realized his pistol had vanished. Simultaneously, he found himself being propelled uncontrollably toward the interrogation room.
“Officer down... assault on police!” With no other option, Fu Yuan's voice rang out in a desperate call for help.
He had been skeptical about the rumors that Yao Feng and three others had their pistols snatched in a blink at the hospital. But now, having experienced it firsthand, his disbelief was shattered. The man before him moved with inhuman speed, leaving Fu Yuan defenseless.
Fortunately, he was standing by the door, so his cry for help was heard by many. People immediately charged toward the room.
“Freeze!”
“Drop the weapon!”
“Release Captain Fu and the hostages now!”
Upon seeing the scene inside, several officers drew their guns, aiming them into the room.
Zhang Xiaolong felt cornered. He had escalated the situation by taking the captain of the detectives hostage inside the police station. His life seemed to be spiraling out of control.
With no other options, he hoped to expose the truth. “Fu Yuan and this man spiked my water with hallucinogens, attempting to hypnotize me. They're both involved in Su Mei's shooting incident...”
“Release the hostages first. We can discuss the issue calmly. And put down the gun. Whether or not you're telling the truth, you're committing a crime. Do you understand?” an officer called out from outside.
After a moment's thought, Zhang Xiaolong responded, “I want to speak with your supervisor. I can't trust what you say.”
“Director Yuan will arrive shortly,” Yao Feng interjected, having just arrived. “Zhang Xiaolong, please don't do anything rash. It will only complicate matters.”
“Fine, I'll wait. But everyone must back away from this door, or I can't promise I won't act,” Zhang Xiaolong said, trusting Yao Feng but knowing he couldn't control everyone present, hence his reluctance to release the hostages.
At Yao Feng's direction, the crowd at the door dispersed.
Zhang Xiaolong then made a phone call: “I'm in trouble. Someone's trying to drug me and take control...”
Besides, everyone needs to eat and drink. Without any other options, waiting was the only course of action.
As the minutes ticked by, half an hour elapsed. Just as Yuen Lai's patience was wearing thin and he was about to question Zhang Xiaolong again, someone rushed in with an urgent report.
“Chief, there's an aircraft...” The messenger was breathless, his words tinged with confusion.
“What kind of aircraft?” Yuen Lai asked, his brow creased with concern.
“A helicopter is about to land right in front of the station!” the man managed to convey the full message at last.
A jolt went through Yuen Lai. Could the people on the aircraft be coming for the criminals inside?
He had barely reached the entrance when he saw a rope thrown from the helicopter. A slender figure in black leapt from the cabin door, gliding swiftly down the rope. Mid-descent, she executed a flip and landed gracefully on one knee.
Her beauty surpassed that of movie stars, and combined with her impressive agility and unforgettable entrance, even Yuen Lai was momentarily stunned.
But he quickly regained his composure. With a swift gesture, everyone drew their handguns and took aim.
If this woman was in cahoots with the individual inside, she'd be riddled with bullets the moment she made a move.
“You are...” Yuen Lai barely started his question when he suddenly noticed the woman had vanished from sight.
As he broke out in a cold sweat, a hand landed on his throat, and simultaneously, a badge appeared before his eyes.
The badge's cover featured a menacing wolf's head baring its sharp teeth, seemingly ready to leap off the surface.
“Put down the gun!” Yuen Lai, feeling the pressure on his neck ease, quickly commanded.
The woman, clad in a form-fitting leather jacket like a dark fairy, paid them no heed and simply stated icily, “Take me to him!”
