At 12:20 in the middle of the night, the regulator hijacked the case and finally broke the ice after several hours of negotiations.
The Chi Army agreed to release 80% of the hostages and withdraw from Longcheng, and the Municipal Command Center offered a ransom of 30 million, plus the release of 80% of the Chi Army soldiers captured along the Sinaloa coast, in exchange.
The negotiations ended and the Chi army prepared to withdraw.
On the second floor of the cocktail party, Zhao Weihu put on his mask again and walked quickly in the corridor and said, "Evacuate according to the planned A plan. All soldiers should withdraw from the defense points in an orderly manner. Let the sentries outside Longcheng also pay attention to the situation along the evacuation route. As long as the garrison, SWAT team, and special operations team in Longcheng move, we will kill them."
"Yes!" Zhu Bajie nodded.
"Has Secretary-General Lu come back?" Zhao Weihu asked.
"I'm back. The person is under our control."
"Okay!" Zhao Weihu nodded slowly.
…
In the lobby on the first floor, most of the hostages had been released, and only less than thirty people were still being held hostage. Most of them were high-ranking officials in Longcheng’s government departments, mostly white people.
In the hostage center, Secretary-General Lu, who had just been asked to return by the bandits, looked at the surrounding situation with an extremely ugly expression.
At the back, a white man asked in confusion: "Oh, Lu, weren't you released? Why did you come back? Is it to ensure our safety?"
Secretary-General Lu gave the other party a complicated look and said, "Of course, this is my duty."
"Oh my god, you are such an idiot!" The other party was of a high rank and was very familiar with Secretary-General Lu, so he cursed without hesitation: "If I were you, I would never come back to this damn place."
“…!” Secretary-General Lu was speechless.
…
About an hour ago, when the Chi army released the first batch of hostages, Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan had a conversation in the back corridor.
"Fuck, are you stupid?! Now that you can leave, why don't you leave?" Yu Mingyuan asked anxiously, "Why are you staying here?"
"The mayor hasn't left yet, this is an opportunity for us." Su Tianyu whispered back, "Zhao Weihu and I have an agreement that as long as Chi Jun can escape successfully, he will hand over the mayor to me. We are in need of connections now, big connections, this is worth a try. If it works, we can take advantage of the situation to get a leg up."
"Are you stupid?!" Yu Mingyuan firmly objected, "What if the Chi Army goes back on its word? What if they want to kidnap Mayor Li to Sinaloa and demand a ransom of 100 million?! Our relationship with the Chi Army is too shallow, you can't trust them! Now we can borrow the relationship with the garrison and be released among the hostages. Isn't it better to ensure our own safety first?"
Su Tianyu waved his hand: "No, listen to me. First of all, I think Zhao Weihu has no reason to kill Li Mingsheng unless it is necessary. His goal has been achieved now. As long as he retreats safely, it will be considered a success. But if he kills Lao Li, or takes him to Sinalo and asks for a ransom, that would be too much. Think about it, Lao Li is the head of a city, equivalent to the local emperor of the autonomous region. I don't know how many political connections he has behind him. Zhao Weihu has no need to offend these people. It is not in his interest. This is why Lao Li dared to come."
Yu Mingyuan was silent.
"We have a close relationship with the garrison, and the garrison and the Chi Army can talk to each other. This is our advantage!" Su Tianyu continued in a low voice: "If the Chi Army must do a favor, then the best choice is us. What's more, even if Zhao Weihu really has a brain attack and wants to get Li Mingsheng again, then at most I will be released and return to Longcheng. There is no danger to my life, right? There is no need for him to kill me, right?"
"Why are you so fucking brave!" Yu Mingyuan replied helplessly.
"I was caught in the middle and almost lost my life. If I don't fight, I'll feel sorry for getting shot!" Su Tianyu lowered his voice, "Actually, I had no choice. During the first forced rescue, I was the only one who knew the approximate time of the operation, but in the end, the Chi Army reacted in advance, causing the plan to fail. If things go wrong, the command center will already suspect that I revealed the plan to the Chi Army, so... the best way for me to clear my suspicion is at this critical point."
Yu Mingyuan let out a long sigh: "Then I'll go with you."
"No need. Just go out and control the periphery. I'll find a way to contact you along the way." Su Tianyu waved his hand directly: "It's useless for you to go, and your status is higher than mine. If anything happens, you will be at greater risk than me."
Yu Mingyuan pondered for a while, then reached out and grabbed Su Tianyu's arm: "Then be careful!"
"It's okay. I have a strong life. I can defeat others but not myself." Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and replied.
The two looked at each other and said nothing more.
After a while, Yu Mingyuan was released among the first batch of hostages, and Su Tianyu was escorted back to the hostage hall on the first floor.
…
Late at night, around 12:40, the Chi army, which had been hiding in the cocktail party building, began to appear in the compound in batches, holding many hostages covered with black hoods.
The formation of the Chi Army soldiers was relatively concentrated. In the front, more than 30 people were holding retractable explosion-proof shields and guns, gathering at the gate of the compound. The soldiers in the back who were responsible for escorting the hostages used curtains removed from the room to cover themselves and the hostages' heads, and they moved and got on the car together.
In this way, when viewed from the perspective of an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flying in the sky, there were only a few large pieces of stretched curtains moving in the courtyard below, and the soldiers and hostages below could not be observed at all. It was also unclear which car held the hostages and which held the soldiers.
After a large number of soldiers got on the bus, they sealed the windows on both sides with paper to prevent people outside from observing the situation inside the bus.
In this way, six groups of people rushed out of the room and got on the cars. Su Tianyu mixed in the crowd and suddenly found that Jing Yan was also taken to the first car, and there were only Chi Army soldiers around him, and Gu Baishun was not seen.
Seeing this scene, Su Tianyu frowned.
Before the city command center launched the attack, Su Tianyu had a private conversation with Zhao Weihu. He claimed at the time that he had a piece of information that could save Chi Jun's life, and the condition was that Chi Jun had to kill Jing Yan and Gu Baishun!
Su Tianyu wants to use Chi Jun to get rid of these two people. His intention is to avenge Yu Jinrong and disrupt the Coders Association so that Wei Xiangzuo can come up as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Weihu, who always kept his word, would go back on his word in this matter!
Jing Yan is not dead
Gu Baishun is missing
What on earth is going on? !
