Chapter Thirty-Two: Unexpected Event

  After the car accident, three hijackers knew that they could no longer stay in the vehicle and each rushed out of the car door to hide behind the car.

  "Big brother, Ah Hua is dead, what should we do?"

  "These two policemen are good shots and can grab hostages to block bullets. They don't dare shoot, then they run away in the chaos when there are more people."

  The seemingly clever bandits suddenly signaled their accomplices to seize Dou Le and Jiang Yun nearby.

  Three robbers quickly ran to where Du Le and Jiang Yun were lying, with two of them pulling up Du Le and Jiang Yun respectively.

  Du Le looked at the robbers' guns and saw that Jiang Yun was also in their hands, so he didn't dare to resist and stood up obediently.

  Bang, bang, bang.

  "Come on! We have hostages!" Another hijacker fired three shots and shouted at two policemen.

  The police were momentarily stunned.

  Close behind, the alarm bell rang loudly, and three robbers were startled.

  "Go in, go inside!" The hijacker ordered.

  Du Le and Jiang Yun were taken hostage by the hijackers and dragged into the building. Wu Liang was also unlucky, originally following behind Du Le, he was squatting at the entrance of the building when the hijacking occurred, shivering with fear. When the three hijackers entered the building, they also caught him as a hostage.

  Inside the building, it's a different scene, bustling with activity. The gunfire outside seems to be isolated and has no impact on the business inside. When the robbers rushed into the building, people who didn't know what was happening continued to sell things, while others were still haggling over prices.

  Ah! A woman applying makeup at the cosmetics counter let out a loud scream. The sales staff behind the counter also saw the robbers and Du Le, who was being held hostage, and instinctively crouched down to hide under the counter.

  Bang! "Shut up!" one of the robbers yelled wildly, raising his pistol and firing a shot into the air.

  Ah! More people joined the ranks of those who were shocked.

  The building has a total of five floors open to the outside for business, with an escalator in the middle. The first floor mainly operates cosmetics, jewelry, photography, catering and other businesses; the second and third floors are mainly Jiahe supermarkets; the fourth floor mainly operates clothing, hats and shoes; the fifth floor mainly operates digital electronics, mobile phones, bookstores and so on.

  The gunshot startled the crowd on the first floor, causing them to run wildly in all directions. The people on the second floor were also thrown into a state of panic.

  The building had more than one exit and within less than a minute, customers near the door escaped.

  "Run!" The three robbers pointed at Du Le and others with their guns, making them run together.

  The rest of the exits were soon blocked by police. The three robbers, unable to escape in time, took more than a dozen hostages and hid in a cargo elevator in the building, taking the elevator down to the negative first floor.

  It is clear that the hijackers were also very familiar with the structure of the building, they knew that the negative first floor was a parking lot, the place was large, and there were not many entrances and exits, which made it convenient for them to hold out and escape.

  Unfortunately, the police reacted too quickly and blocked their escape route.

  Three robbers had guns in their hands, one each, with plenty of bullets. Du Le inadvertently saw that each robber had several bullet clips on his body.

  The robbers drove Du Le and others to a warehouse, where the negative first floor was not only an underground parking lot but also the location of the building's warehouse. The warehouse where Du Le and others were located belonged to Jiahe Supermarket. A security guard in the warehouse also became a hostage, while the security guards on the negative first floor had escaped far away as soon as they saw the robbers.

  There were nineteen hostages in total, including Du Le, Jiang Yun and Wu Liang. Everyone was extremely frightened. Du Le probably restrained his inner fear and calmed himself down. He squatted in the corner with Jiang Yun, while Wu Liang trembled with fear beside them.

  The warehouse was divided into several parts. Du Le and others were locked in a small room with only one door, guarded by three hijackers at the entrance.

  Somehow, Du Le felt that his hearing was very good, and he could clearly hear the dialogue of the robbers outside, constantly thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

  "Big brother, have we been surrounded by the police?"

  "What shall we do now!"

  "Stop arguing, listen to my plan. We're already betting our lives on this! As long as we don't panic, we'll definitely be able to escape. I have a plan, which is to use the hostages' clothes. I just checked and three of them are about the same size as us. You two go in and swap their clothes immediately, then we take the elevator up to the fourth floor. There's an emergency exit there, and we'll disguise ourselves as customers and escape."

  "What about this money?"

  "No choice, the bag is too big, the target is obvious, put some in the pocket."

  Three robbers came in and quickly found three hostages, stripping them of their clothes.

  The hijackers, who had changed clothes, then pulled out four women hostages from the crowd.

  "Ah! Don't..." The women were all terrified.

  Jiang Yun was about to be pulled out as the fourth hostage, Du Le hurriedly stopped and said: "Is there anything I can help with? I can do it, don't pull her."

  "Right! Catch him!" Wu Liang suddenly blurted out a sentence and shouted.

  "Wu Liang! You!" Jiang Yun said with hatred.

  Three robbers looked at each other, one of them suddenly hit Wu Liang's head, "Nonsense! Get up! And you!"

  Two female sales staff in the building, plus Du Le and Jiang Yun and Wu Liang, were all pulled out.

  "No! I have money!" Wu Liang begged in terror.

  Bang! Wu Liang's thigh was shot. "Don't waste time!" The hijacker pointed his gun at the remaining hostages, "Don't look for death, whoever dares to move will be shot dead."

  Three robbers changed into good clothes and took Du Le, Jiang Yun and two other female sales staff from the building, taking the customer elevator.

  "Whoever dares to turn around and take a casual glance at our faces, I'll make him die in a very ugly way!" the bandit leader said with a sinister tone.

  Three robbers wearing sunglasses and hoods tried to block the camera using Du Le and others.

  "Later, when you get upstairs, as soon as the elevator doors open, you all run towards the emergency exit. Don't look back, once you're gone, it's fine." The hijacker said to Du Le and the others.

  Du Le knew the bandit's plan, he had no better countermeasure, so he quietly activated the storage function, ready to strike at any moment.

  From entering the building, going down to the first floor, and then taking the elevator up, it only took about ten minutes. The news that a robbery had occurred outside the building and that armed robbers had run into the building had already spread throughout the building. However, after all, compared to the first floor, the second and third floors would directly face the threat of being robbed, while people on the fourth and fifth floors were relatively more stable.

  As the elevator doors opened for Du Le and his group, they saw several police officers evacuating people, with at least dozens of customers still upstairs, being guided by police to exit through the escape routes.

  The elevator door opened and Jiang Yun and two other female sales staff rushed out of the elevator first.

  No good, there was a policeman standing guard right at the elevator door. One of the robbers had his gun raised and aimed at the policeman.

  Bang!
