Chapter 529: Hostage, Let Go Of The Criminal!

The mans voice sounded weak and helpless.

Slowly, ever slowly, the captain of the 4th division spun his head over.

There was a girl in his field of vision. She was wearing a light brown dress and a beige sweater. Her face was tiny and her eyes were bright like stars. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her lips and she seemed like she was saying something but he could not hear it well because he was too far away.

It was a beautiful face. It was definitely the most perfect face, but her face had a kind of magic power that would make people unable to peel their eyes away from her.

People always said that everything a beauty did was never wrong, but

Help!

The man shouted again.

The little girls dress fluttered in tandem with her movement, and she looked just like a fairy under the sunlight.

The captain of the 4th division felt that all of this was too good to be true, but it was only if he could ignore the fire extinguisher in the girls hand.

He had never seen a girl fight like the girl in front of him before, not to mention that the person she was. .h.i.tting was the mastermind of the Equinox Flower case.

Duang!

And the man yelped out in pain once again.

Men only weep when deeply grieved. It occurred to the captain of the 4th division that Matthew must be in a lot of pain, or else, he would not cry like a kid right now.

He walked a few steps forward in an attempt to put him out of his misery, and it was only then he heard what the girl was saying.

Did your mom not teach you that you can rob ten banks, but you should never take a persons milk tea away?

The captain of the 4th division became speechless. It was only now that he realized the reason she was so angry at Matthew was that he s.n.a.t.c.hed her milk tea away? So she chased after him not because she thought it was her responsibility as a resident of the earth to bring a criminal like Matthew to justice, but because he took her milk tea?

Fu Zhi continued to smash the fire extinguisher on Matthew again and again and again. Blood lined Matthews lips and he remembered the captain of the International Crime Unit that he used to laugh at in the past.

Daddy, save me He sobbed.

It hurts! It hurts so much!

The captain of the 4th division took a look at his face that had swollen beyond recognition and let out a sigh. He peeled his eyes away and went forward to stop Fu Zhi. Erm, little girl, oh no, lady Take it easy. Its against the law to kill someone, so why dont you put down the weapon in your hand first, and lets talk about it?

Fu Zhi was stunned. She looked at the man in front of him silently.

The captain of the 4th division did not know why but he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Just when he thought that Fu Zhi was not going to say something, Fu Zhi parted her mouth and said, Talk? Are you going to talk with me or hes going to talk with me?

The captain of the 4th division was stumped. He had a feeling that Fu Zhi was saying whos going to die instead of whos going to talk. He instinctively took a step back and said, Of course its not me. I mean, hes the worst criminal that ever existed in history and he deserves to die! You are the hero of the people, and you are the beacon of the nation. If you really want to teach him a lesson, go for it. I will help you to keep an eye on the surroundings!

Matthew, who was lying on the floor, lifted his arm to grab at the leg of the captain of the 4th division. Take, take Take me away. Please, I beg you. I I give myself up to the law!

Under Fu Zhis intense gaze, the captain of the 4th division kicked Matthew away.

Well, you shouldnt have taken her milk tea away in the first place. Its too late to regret it now, he said.

For a moment, n.o.body dared to go up to Fu Zhi. All of them stood and watched until the police team from Myanmars police station arrived.

All of the members from the International Crime Unite had arrived at the scene. They all surrounded Fu Zhi and Matthew in a circle, so n.o.body could see what was going on inside.

The sheriff ran all the way up to them and asked, his voice thick with anxiety, How was it? Is everything okay?

The captain of the 5th division replied expressionlessly, I think its about time.

When he saw that the sheriff looked confused, he explained again, If you come a few minutes later, you will only see a corpse.

That means there is still hope! The sheriffs eyes glowed.

However, there was one thing that he did not understand. Why were all of them standing here instead of helping her? Was Matthew holding her hostage now?

The sheriff let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he turned around and barked out his order, Everyone gets into your position. Sniper ready! Where is the negotiation cadre? We have to do everything we can to keep the hostage safe!

The captain of the 4th division and the captain of the 5th division looked at each other. They opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but no words could come out of their throat.

After all, they felt that they indeed needed the negotiation cadre right now.

After everyone had gotten into their respective position. The negotiator put on the bulletproof vest and walked forward. The sheriff did not want to incite Matthew, so he asked him to approach him slowly. However, the sheriff waited in bated breath for a long while, yet he did not hear the negotiator say anything. Just when he was wondering if he should send in more help, the negotiator shouted through the loudspeaker, Hey!! Hostage! What are you doing? Let go of the criminal!

The sheriff was stunned. Before he could come around to his senses, the negotiator shouted again, I said stop beating him! Hes going to die if you dont stop beating him now! Well give you anything you want, hostage! Your name is Fu Zhi, right? Release the criminal right now! Let Matthew go!

Fu Zhi! Do you hear me, Fu Zh? Let me tell you something, youre surrounded by snipers right now, so stop beating him! Think about your parents and your friends. If you dont stop now, we will have no choice but to shoot Matthew! Weve prepared everything for Matthew: Car, water, medical kit. Were going to let bygones be bygones, so release him now!

The sheriff still could not come around to his senses yet.

What the h.e.l.l is happening?

With that thought in his mind, he charged into the crowd. However, since none of the members from the International Crime Unit were letting him through, it took him quite a long while before he arrived and saw that Fu Zhi was holding Matthew hostage.

He did not know where Fu Zhi got the rope from. She tied the rope around Matthews body, and he looked just like a giant ball right now.

Then, Fu Zhi picked Matthew up from the ground, and as people watched on in shock, she threw him in the direction of the negotiator.

The negotiator jumped to the back and Matthew landed heavily on the ground with a meaty smack.

The sheriff did not know what he should say right now.

Fu Zhi threw the fire extinguisher back into the police car and slammed the trunk shut.

The negotiator swallowed hard. He inched towards Matthew and put his finger below his nose. After that, he nodded at the rest of the people and said, Hes still alive. Quick, send him to the hospital.

Although he was a criminal and he had killed a lot of people, he needed to be brought to justice.

The sheriff walked two steps forward and stopped Fu Zhi from getting back into the car.

Where do you think you are going? He asked.

Its already noon, so Im going back home for lunch, Fu Zhi replied.

Then, she pulled the door open, looking as if she was the rightful owner of the car.

No. You cant leave yet.

The sheriff pushed the door close.

Youre the one who beat him, so you have to go back to the police station with me!

Why do I have to go back to the police station with you? Fu Zhi asked, Are you saying that I, a feeble and weak little girl, who has helped you guys arrest a criminal with a gun, was not allowed to defend myself with a fire extinguisher? I was just protecting myself, so did that make me a person worse than a criminal who has taken many lives?

The sheriff became speechless.

Youre not defending yourself, youre trying to kill him!

However, the sheriff could not speak his mind out loud. After all, Fu Zhi indeed had helped them capture Matthew. Therefore, he thought for a while before saying, Please dont misunderstand me, Ms. Fu. I was just hoping that you can come with us to the police station as we need you to tell us the entire process of you apprehending him.

Im not free, Fu Zhi replied.

The sheriff was stumped once more.

Fu Zhi opened the door again, but the sheriff closed the door once again. Facing the girls icy glare, he did not know what had gotten into him, but by the time he realized it, the words had already left his mouth. If you follow me back to the police station I will buy you a strawberry slus.h.i.+e! For a whole year!

Fu Zhi was stunned. She thought for a while, walked around the car, and opened the door to the pa.s.senger seat. Lets go, then.

Well, she changed her mind was not because of the strawberry slus.h.i.+e. It was because it was the responsibility and duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police.

The sheriff was dumbfounded at the sudden change in her att.i.tude.

It was 11:00 in the afternoon.

The police officer untied the rope on Matthew and cuffed him up. Not far away, a reporter rushed up to him and pointed the microphone at his swollen face. Matthew, can you imagine that you will be arrested by the police today?

Matthew, as the mastermind of the Equinox Flower case, why would you show up so openly at Canna Street?

May I ask if you ever regret the choice you made today?

Matthew did not know what to say.

It went without saying that he regretted his decision to come here today. He should not have shown up here. He should not have s.n.a.t.c.hed Fu Zhis strawberry slus.h.i.+e away, and he should not have sipped it after taking the strawberry slus.h.i.+e away.

It was only now he realized how scary a woman was when she was angered. He was relieved that he had been killing men all along in the last 30 years.

Matthew opened his mouth and grabbed at the deputy sheriffs hand.

What are you doing? The deputy sheriff looked at him with a scowl and pulled out his baton, Im warning you, dont try to do something stupid! You cant get away this time!

No, no, no! Im not trying to get away, Matthew sobbed as he grabbed the deputy sheriffs hand even tighter, Please, I beg you, protect me at all cost. I promise I wont s.n.a.t.c.h other peoples milk tea anymore. Please dont hand me over to that psychopath.

The deputy sheriff was stumped.

Deputy, can you elaborate the information about the hero who subdued the criminal Matthew? Why did she help the police department along with the arrest of Matthew? Is she a member of the International Crime Unit?

Could it be that shes one of the victims of the Equinox Flower case, so she decided to step in this time?

The reporter threw one question after another at the deputy sheriff.

The sheriff had already taken Fu Zhi away.

The deputy sheriff handed Matthew to the other police and said, Im sorry, but I cant disclose the information of the hero. The reason she decided to help us is She has long been unhappy with Matthews behavior! Thats why she decided to step forward to protect the weak and apprehend Matthew!

After that, the deputy sheriff ran away as he did not know what story he should make anymore.

The people from the International Crime Unit did not accept any interviews. After they had finished their mission, they went into their cars and went away.

The captains were sitting inside the same car because they wanted to discuss something.

Shes good at driving and shes a good fighter too. Now the only uncertainty is whether Fu Zhi was the hacker that day or not, the captain of the 5th division said as he read through Fu Zhis profile that he pulled from the database. Shes Chinese and shes 17 years old this year. She studies in a school in a small town. After she graduates from her school, she could only work at a small company, so why dont we scout her into the International Crime Unit?

I agree, the captain of the 4th division added. The salary of the International Crime Unit is high, so unless shes a stakeholder of the Fu Corporation or the Li Corporation, its definitely better than working for other companies out there.

He paused for a moment before continuing, If we can scout her into the International Crime Unit, we have to make sure that she will enter the 5th division. Dont let the captain of the 8th division get the long end of the stick again. Tch, I will get so annoyed when I talk about the captain of the 8th team.

Jiang Ningbei did not know what he should say.

How do you know shes not one of the stakeholders? Maybe shes a president. And you, if you dont like her, then dont scout her into your team. Do you know how to spell the word shameless?

Out of the four people, the captain of the 7th division was at the bottom. He followed the majority and said, I agree.

Then, the captain of the 5th division looked at Jiang Ningbei. Why are you so quiet? Could it be that you think my suggestion is not good enough?

Jiang Ningbei was speechless.

Well, it seems like youre not entirely beyond hopeless. At the very least you still know your suggestion is not good enough, Jiang Ningbei thought inwardly, but he did not say it out loud.

He cleared his throat and said, Nope, nope. Thats a brilliant idea. Im just worried that Fu Zhi is not good enough to join your team.

The captain of the 4th division then chimed in and said in a strange sense of confidence, Dont worry. Leave it to me. Im sure that she will join after I talk to her.
