“Clatter~!”
A pile of pistols and intercom devices were thrown to the ground, as well as dozens of mobile phones, all of which were also casually wrapped in a piece of clothing and thrown to the ground by one of the bandits.
At this time, everyone in the exhibition hall was searched, and all the police officers, including Li Ruonan, as well as the security personnel from the security company all handed in their weapons.
Under the black muzzle of the bandits’ guns, even if they were not willing to do so, they could not refuse to hand them over.
Li Ruonan didn’t want to hand them over, but she was equally helpless. She knew that Fan Jian Yuan was right, these bandits were for real, the blinding blood on the floor and the bodies strewn about were enough to show how vicious and malicious these bandits really were, and they wouldn’t spare a single bullet.
Only by staying alive could they have a chance to get people out!
So when Fan Jian Yuan handed over his gun, Li Ruonan could only endure it.
But these bandits would not let them off so easily, so they sent someone to search each and every one of them again, and they naturally would not allow any instability in the hostages in their hands.
So all the hostages were searched for anything suspicious, including mobile phones, fruit knives or toy knives, and even walkie-talkies and various other devices.
Li Ruonan could only watch all this, but could do nothing about it.
It was only when one of the bandits was being searched that she stared extremely carefully at the bandit, hoping to make a note of the bandit’s physical features. Although the other party was wearing a mask and a hat, covering their entire face tightly, Li Ruonan thought, out of police instinct, that they always had something to reveal.
And so it was!
Li Ruonan found something of value, yet this discovery, however, shocked her!
She discovered that the bandit who searched her had blue eyes …… This person was not a Chinese!
No wonder these bandits all looked tall and big, it turned out they were foreigners!
But how did the foreigners carry so many weapons to China?
Li Ruonan’s mind raced, and her eyes swept over and over the uncovered eyes of the bandits’ masks and hats, hoping to jot down more useful information.
But when her mobile phone was taken away, her heart couldn’t help but sink. Without her means of communication, she had no way of contacting the outside world, even though she had tried to call out before but there was no signal, she was still undeterred, maybe she could get through.
But now, she had no means of communication, so what could she do even if she had a signal?
Looking at the corpses lying in a pool of blood, Li Ruonan’s heart was going crazy with hatred, these foreign animals, they don’t treat Chinese people as human beings at all, are the lives of Chinese people so cheap in their eyes?
With the search over, all the hostages were gathered in the open area in the centre of the exhibition hall, with a circle of bandits around to guard them.
At the same time, there was another group of bandits who were walking towards those display cases.
“Everyone!”
At that very moment, a man wearing a long trench coat and a cowboy hat came over, this man was also wearing a mask and could not see his face, but from the colour of his eyes, which were very different from those of the Chinese, one could tell that this man was a foreigner.
And his fluent English was an indirect indication of who he was!
He said in English, “Everyone, you don’t need to panic, we are not interested in you, only in the beautiful little things in these display cases, so as long as you cooperate honestly, there will be no danger and we will treat him as a friend.”
As he spoke, he held out his hand and pointed to the display cases around him.
It was clear that the charming little things he was referring to were those jewels and jades in the various display cases, and they were coming for the vast amount of jewels in this exhibition hall!
“But if anyone has an unfriendly attitude towards us and wants to play tricks, then I’m sorry, he will be our enemy!”
The cowboy hat man spread his hands, “Then we’ll just have to clear him out! Now, I ask you all to decide whether you want to be our friends or our enemies! If you choose to be friends, please give us the pa*sword of the showcase you belong to, or open it yourself, I think that’s the best cooperation!”
At this point it became clear to everyone that these people were coming for the jewels, they were committing armed robbery!
“B*****ds!” Li Ruonan couldn’t help but grit her teeth and curse out.
“Ruo Nan, be silent!” Fan Jianyuan hurriedly winked at her.
Li Ruo Nan’s face turned blue as she gritted her teeth and said, “These people deserve to die! Jian Yuan, we can’t just sit here and wait for death, we have to find a way to report to the outside!”
Fan Jianyuan said at once, “Are you crazy?! Look, there are dozens of hostages at the scene, even if we report to the outside, what can we do? We’ll be in more danger if the armed police come! Now as long as we don’t provoke these robbers, we should be fine ……”
Li Ruonan said angrily, “Are we just going to stand by and watch them kill and set fire to the city, and then rob the valuable jewellery afterwards?!”
“Shh–!”
When Fan Jianyuan saw that she was on the verge of roaring, his face turned pale with fear and he hurriedly calmed her down, saying, “Auntie, keep your voice down! If you draw the robbers’ attention to us, we won’t even be able to save our lives, so how can we talk about escaping to deliver the message?”
Li Ruonan knew that he had a point, and despite her resentment, she could only suppress the fire in her heart and said, “Should we just watch them kill and rob and then leave?”
Fan Jianyuan lowered his voice and asked, “Are human lives or jewellery important?”
Li Ruonan said, “Of course I know that human lives are important, but how do you dare to guarantee that they will leave honestly after the robbery? What if they kill all of us by then?”
Fan Jianyuan frowned and said, “How is that possible? There are dozens of us here, how would they dare to kill them all?”
Li Ruonan’s gaze fell on the bodies strewn about, “Isn’t that the best example? If they can kill a few, they can kill dozens!”
Fan Jianyuan said, “They killed those few because they resisted and influenced the robbers’ actions. You see your men also resisted, but then they listened to you in time and fell to the ground, and aren’t they fine now? Ruo Nan, just listen to me, bear with me for now, after these robbers have finished robbing and left, we will then contact the outside, by then without the hostages in hand, the police will not be afraid to act, what do you think?”
Li Ruonan did not say anything, she knew that this was the only way to go at this moment, because this was the best way.
Now there were armed robbers all around her, she couldn’t think of any good way to escape even if she wanted to, on the contrary, if she moved she would also alert the robbers, and if more people were injured or even killed because of her, then she would really regret it for the rest of her life!
“Woo~~”
In the crowd, there were deliberately suppressed cries, some people couldn’t stand the horrible scene in front of them and were so scared that they were about to collapse.
Hearing this, Li Ruonan’s heart grew even more hateful.
At this time, the robber in the lead was already aiming his gun at the scene once again and said, “It seems that none of you are willing to cooperate! Then, I can only say sorry to all of you!”
……
“It’s already getting late!”
Raising his hand to look at the time, it was almost eight o’clock, so Ji Feng planned to make a phone call to his sister Li Yantong.
Today Li Yantong went to her second uncle’s house, and her father Ji Zhenhua was also there, so in order not to interfere with their father-daughter relationship, Ji Feng did not follow him there, but stayed at home.
But seeing as it was already dark now, Ji Feng planned to call Li Yantong to ask if she was coming back to rest for the night.
“Drip drip drip~~”
“Drip drip drip!”
Just at this moment, a faint sound of dripping came from upstairs, but it made Ji Feng, who had just taken out his phone, frown abruptly.
Ji Feng jerked his head back and saw that Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei were chatting with Han Zhen and the girls about something. The next moment, he suddenly stood up from the sofa and ran upstairs in a hurry without saying a word, and even because he was too anxious, he directly grabbed the handrail of the stairs and went up to the first floor in a longitudinal manner, and then used the same method to go up to the third floor.
In the study on the third floor, his special communication device was ringing!
There was no doubt that something was wrong!
This communication device was specially made by Ji Feng, and the only people equipped with it were Yi Xingchen’s battle team, as well as Xiao Yuxuan’s few women. Apart from that, it was Xu Yuan and Qin Shujie who had such devices.
Moreover, for the sake of convenience and flexibility, Ji Feng deliberately put the core of this communication device inside a container only the size of a watch, and then used a bracelet as a disguise, so that Xiao Yuxuan and the women all wore it on their wrists.
This way, on the surface, it looked like they were wearing a watch or an ordinary bracelet.
During normal times, the communication device would not be activated, and they would use mobile phones to communicate with each other, because this kind of communication device is not universal, and the frequency needs to be adjusted every time they talk, otherwise it would be easy for the two communication devices to crosstalk with each other.
So if there is not something happening, or in some special operation, the communication device will not be used.
Therefore, Ji Feng had casually put the communication device in his study, but now, the communication device was ringing!
So there was no doubt that something was wrong!
Only, it was still unknown where exactly something had happened, and that was what Ji Feng was most anxious about.
“Pop!”
As soon as Ji Feng picked up the communication device on the desk, he quickly stuffed the earphones into his ears and then picked up, “This is Ji Feng!”
“……”
The earpiece but no one responded, there was just a loud noise, it seemed like someone was screaming as if they were terrified, and someone else was yelling.
Ji Feng’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, what was going on?
“Speak!” Ji Feng said in a deep voice.
“…… Ji Feng!”
Suddenly, an extremely repressed voice came from the headphones, “We’ve been robbed ……”
