Chapter 235 is uploaded by netizens and reprinted on this site solely for the purpose of promoting this book to more readers.

  The photo is very large, printed on A4 paper on the spot. This sniper obviously has a talent for photography and took a clear picture of the hijacker leaning against the window sill on the second floor of the kindergarten.

  The hijacker wore a blue-black windbreaker, wearing a woolen hat on his head, holding the young female teacher of the kindergarten in front of him, with a dagger held to the girl's neck, half of his face exposed from behind. He was very cunning, hiding behind the hostage all the time, not giving the sniper any chance to shoot. This photo was still selected from dozens of continuous shots, that fleeting moment.

  The evil eyes and arrogant mouth corners in the photo made Li Ni recognize this person at once.

  The hijacker is actually Long Shaoye, the former boss of Longyang City who was once so powerful that he could control the wind and rain!

  Long Shao wasn't arrested by the police, how did he get out so quickly and even ran to Jiangbei City, breaking into Jinqiabei Kindergarten? Is his target... his own son?

  Li Ni's legs went soft and she almost fell down on the spot, luckily a female police officer reacted quickly and caught her.

  "Who is this person?" Song Jianfeng's bright and spirited eyes stared at Li Ni and asked.

  "Long Shaoping, a man from Longyang, he came for me." Li Ni said weakly.

  "Long Shaoping, this name is very familiar. Little Li, get me the Longyang Municipal Bureau!" Song Jianfeng shouted towards the command vehicle.

  The commander was busy on the car for a while, and a policeman wearing glasses waved a piece of paper and said: "Director Song, we received a fax from Longyang that Long Shaoping is a prisoner in their detention center. He escaped last night and is still being pursued."

  "Despicable!" Song Jianfeng angrily shouted, as the director, he understood the difficulties of his counterparts in neighboring cities. The detention center had escaped prisoners and did not dare to immediately report to their superiors, instead choosing to surround and capture them first. If they couldn't catch them, then they would issue a wanted notice. This way, they might be able to save face, but it would delay the capture work.

  Now that the identity of the criminal has been confirmed, it's time to take action. Director Song ordered the negotiation experts to move out and, with a strong political offensive, urged the criminals to surrender while snipers took up their positions, waiting for an opportunity to shoot and try to kill them with one shot.

  This case is different from the last one, the last time was a bank robbery, the robbers were after money, not lives. This time Long Shao kidnapped children, it's clear that he's seeking revenge, and he escaped from prison to do so. There's no room for negotiation with this kind of person, and the kindergarten is full of 4-5 year old kids who have no ability to protect themselves. If something happens, it will be a national sensation, not just a matter of losing one's job, even the mayor will be affected.

  So Song Jianfeng made a decisive deployment, and today the Political and Legal Committee Secretary Hu and Municipal Bureau Director Ma are both attending meetings in the province. On the scene, only Old Song's official seal is the largest, his approval is enough.

  Since it was confirmed that the hijackers did not have guns, this time the negotiation expert's guts were bigger, standing outside the kindergarten wall with a loudspeaker shouting: "Long Shaoping, you are already surrounded, quickly release the hostages, come out and surrender, strive for leniency."

  Long Shaoping hid behind the hostage and shouted: "Don't try this with me! Behave and do what I say, or I'll kill a kid right now to show you!"

  The criminal was extremely vicious and the negotiation expert didn't dare to provoke him, so he quickly said: "Whatever you do, don't harm the child. What are your demands? We'll consider them."

  Long Shaoping yelled in a hoarse voice: "I want Li Yan to come, must arrive within ten minutes, I also want two handguns, three hundred bullets, one million US dollars in cash, and an airplane!"

  In the command vehicle, the police officers looked at each other in dismay. This Long Shaoping must have gone mad - all the conditions he put forward were impossible to fulfill.

  "The criminals have gone mad, I suggest a SWAT operation to avoid innocent casualties," said the Special Police Battalion Commander.

  "It's not suitable, the kindergarten has a special terrain, the SWAT team can't enter without being noticed by the suspect. If it triggers his frenzy, it will cause casualties among the hostages." said Police Captain Xie Hua Dong.

  "Old Xie, what can you do?" Song Jianfeng asked.

  "Find someone to impersonate Li Ni, sneak in and take out the criminals." Xie Hua Dong said confidently.

  Hu Rong beside him also stood up: "Song Ju, I'm going up!"

  Now Hu Rong is a well-known police flower in the criminal police detachment. Although she is the daughter of the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, her business level is absolutely unquestionable. At critical moments, she dares to risk her life, can fight hard battles, and everyone in the bureau admires her.

  Song Jianfeng furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before finally making up his mind. "Xiao Hu, have you studied bomb disposal?"

  "Don't worry, Director Song," Hu Rong replied proudly. "I excelled in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal course when I was at the Police Academy."

  "The criminal is extremely vicious, the police's standard-issue gun is too weak. Little Hu, use mine." Song Jianfeng said, taking a heavy 92-style 9mm handgun from his waistband and handing it to Hu Rong.

  Hu Rong took the pistol, deftly ejected the magazine to check the remaining bullets, and with a "click" reloaded it, turned off the safety, and holstered it at her waist, saying: "Don't worry, I guarantee completion of the mission."

  On the other side, a negotiation expert held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Long Shaoping, don't be impulsive, Li Yun will arrive soon, she will enter the kindergarten to talk to you face-to-face."

  There was no echo above, only the pale face of the female teacher dripping with sweat. The criminal was very cunning and didn't dare to respond. The sniper still couldn't take a shot.

  At this time, the crowd had been evacuated to a safe distance, except for the students who were kidnapped, all the other children were safely evacuated. Unfortunately, Shen Fang's daughter Niu Niu and Li Xian's son Xiao Cheng were in the same class, so Shen Fang, who was extremely anxious, was with a large group of parents, crying and looking around frantically.

  The car driven by Scar also stopped outside the blockade line, and the auxiliary police wanted to intercept him, but was knocked down by Scar's anxious hammer, and rushed into the warning zone with Liu Ziguang.

  Outside the kindergarten, police officers were busy buying suits, high heels and black stockings from nearby clothing stores to dress up Hu Rong in the style of Li Ni. Hu Rong usually wore T-shirts and sneakers, but suddenly wearing professional attire and high heels made her feel a bit unaccustomed. However, her professionalism allowed her to quickly adapt to the high heels, and after trying out a few steps, she looked elegant and charming.

  Put on the hood and glasses again, and hang a bag around your waist. It looks similar now. Hu Rong made an OK gesture to the negotiation expert, and the other side started shouting: "Long Shaoping, take a good look, Li Yun has arrived, she's walking in right now."

  Hú Róng walked slowly towards the kindergarten under everyone's watchful eyes, and everyone's heart was suspended. If there were any slight mistakes, the criminal would commit murder or even detonate a bomb, which was a scene that no one wanted to see.

  Everyone's hope was pinned on Hu Rong, only Liu Ziguo in the crowd whispered "this is not good!"

  Long Shaoping is a man who has an infatuation with Li Yan that borders on madness, and her image has long been etched in his mind. Although Hu Rong's figure is not bad either, it belongs to the athletic type, which has some differences from Li Yan's gentle and charming housewife type. Even he himself can distinguish between them, let alone Long Shaoping.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Hu Rong had just walked halfway when Long Shaoping suddenly let out a loud shout: "You deceived me! She's not Li Yan!" Then, a hand was seen stabbing the hostage in the chest repeatedly, with blood gushing out. Everyone let out a cry of surprise, and several young mothers fainted on the spot, including Shen Fang. The scar-faced man rushed to rescue his wife, completely unaware that Liu Ziguang had disappeared from beside him.

  The female lecturer fell to the ground, but Long Shaoping still didn't expose himself to the gun. Three seconds later, a little boy appeared at the window, wailing loudly with tears and snot streaming down his face. Li Ni in the police car let out a scream and fainted as well. The hostage that Long Shaoping had taken was none other than her own five-year-old precious son, Xiao Cheng.

  The criminal finally made a desperate move, killing and wounding a female hostage. The victim's life or death is uncertain. Hu Rong was also exposed and had no choice but to retreat, fiercely tearing off his hood and slamming it to the ground. He hated that he couldn't rush into the kindergarten and shoot the despicable criminal dead with one bullet.

  Director Song, who was anxious and furious, questioned through the intercom: "Why didn't you shoot just now? Why didn't you shoot?! You're not up to this level, I'll replace you with someone else!"

  The snipers were also frustrated, the criminal was too cunning and didn't give them a chance to shoot. Now he's holding that little boy hostage, the child's head is moving wildly, crying out loud, the sniper had no confidence in taking the shot, if they accidentally hit the hostage or the explosives on the criminal's chest, it would be all over.

  Generally speaking, snipers in second-tier cities are just accurate shooters. They focus on killing or injuring targets at close range. Since the police usually have an absolute advantage, it's hard to compare the level of SWAT team or armed police snipers with those from the military. The real sniper king is the one who can hide himself and shoot a target 1,000 meters away.

  Director Song was also furious. As a special forces veteran, he naturally understood the difficulties of the snipers. What he said earlier was just out of anger. Although Jiangbei City had a garrison, it only consisted of regular armored troops and infantry, without any special forces units. Even if there were, it would be impossible for the police to call in military special forces units due to the lengthy approval process, which would take at least a whole day. By then, Long Shaoping might have already killed all the hostages.

  In the entire Jiangbei City, there are only two snipers with one-shot kill capability. One is Li Jian-guo, but he has been retired for many years and still bears injuries, it's unknown whether he can reach his previous level. The other is Liu Ziguang, judging from the last bank incident, his shooting skills should be on par with Li Jian-guo. But now in such an emergency, where to find these two people?

  On the rooftop of the residential building opposite the kindergarten, two SWAT snipers were quietly lying there, one holding an 85 sniper rifle and the other holding a pair of binoculars, capturing every move inside the second-floor window of the kindergarten. Suddenly, there was a noise behind them, and the observer turned his head to see a man wearing 5.11 tactical pants and desert boots, with a police badge hanging from his waist, who was one of their own people.

  That man ran over with his head bowed and said in a tone that brooked no argument: "Hand over the sniper rifle."

  Two armed police officers exchanged a glance, thinking that although they were comrades, the other was a criminal police officer, while they were internal security personnel of the armed police, not from the same system, what right did he have to command them.

  Before waiting for Li Niang, Long Shaoping's emotions were extremely unstable. He was the one who escaped from prison last night and thought that the case wouldn't be a big deal, at most he would be sentenced to 20 years in prison, then operate to get medical parole and come out in a few years. However, the situation suddenly changed, and the municipal party secretary who was beaten into a vegetative state by himself actually died!

  To know that the man was a nephew of a provincial party committee high-ranking official, this way Long Shao would definitely be sentenced to death, he could not accept it no matter what, so he took a risk and escaped from prison by taking advantage of the opportunity to spread the news.

  The Long family has some influence in Longyang, and the prison guards are all familiar with them, so they won't make things difficult for Long Shao. They created conditions for his escape, making it easy for him to break out of prison.

  The more I think about it during my escape, the angrier I get. If it weren't for Li Niang, these disasters wouldn't have befallen me in the first place.

  Long Shaoping, who had lost his mind and was desperate, decided that even if he died, he would take someone down with him. He thought it was better to risk everything and fight back, rather than living a life of hiding and running away, so he might as well try to kill Li Ni and have her accompany him to the afterlife.

  Long Shao had investigated Li Yan before and knew that she had a son and also knew which kindergarten the child was in, so there was the scene just now.

  Long Shao's brain isn't very useful, he was scared by a Tibetan mastiff before being caught, can't stand stimulation, and still can't see Li Ni's blood on his head, just now he put several knives on the little teacher, and now he has put Li Ni's son in front of his chest. As for how he found Li Ni's son from among thirty children in the class, it was very simple, because Xiao Cheng looks very much like his mother, so Long Shao recognized him at a glance.

  Seeing her son's tear-stained face, Li Ni's heart was pained. She tightly grasped Song Jianfeng and cried: "Please save my son, please save my son, I'll give you anything."

  The number one businesswoman in Jiangbei City has lost her composure, but Song Jianfeng's heart is also filled with sorrow and anger. The sorrow comes from being a police officer who couldn't protect these children, while the anger stems from the culprit's complete lack of conscience!

  At this time, Long Shao's emotions had completely lost control. He held the little boy in front of him, only revealing half his face as he loudly shouted: "Li Yun, I know you're watching! You won't let me live a good life, and I won't let you be comfortable either! I want you to personally watch your son die!"

  "Hahaha"

  A chilling maniacal laughter echoed above the kindergarten, as the deranged Long Shao suddenly swung his dagger and stabbed towards Xiao Cheng's chest.

  "Don't" At the sight of blood splashing out, Li Ni's loud shout came from the bottom of her heart, and she fainted.

  Just then a shot rang out, and a large flock of startled pigeons flew up into the sky, their cooing filling the air as it mingled with the echoes of the gunshot.
