Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Situation (Request for Recommendation Votes)
"Won’t they wake up later?" Zhou Yan was a bit skeptical, pointing at the unconscious person and dog, and asked Lin Xi.
"No, not for at least an hour." Lin Xi said.
Only then did Zhou Yan relax, jumped up and grabbed the wall edge with ease, following Lin Xi over the wall.
Inside the wall, apart from a vacant lot, there were abandoned wooden boxes, two rusty old trucks, and two somewhat newer vans.
These two vans should be the ones the kidnappers used.
The two of them crouched and moved one behind the other toward the factory building, slightly raising their heads to see quite a few people inside.
The cement wall of the factory, at one meter fifty-six high, was covered with dusty transparent glass, some even showing slight cracks, probably due to years of disrepair.
Inside the factory, Zhou Yan counted fifteen people in total, all of them looking like fierce and savage types, obviously not good characters at first glance.
About ten of them gathered around, drinking and playing cards, even though there was no money on the table, they played with great excitement.
Two people sat at the entrance, chatting intermittently, occasionally looking toward the door, likely keeping watch.
Another person was drinking water, while someone was sitting on the ground nearby, leaning against a piece of old machinery, seemingly resting with closed eyes.
As Zhou Yan glanced at the last person, her pupils involuntarily contracted, her expression shifting from relaxed to extremely grave.
This person sat alone in the corner, using a piece of black cloth to wipe what he held in hand, which was a deadly weapon.
"This? It doesn’t look fake."
As a police officer, Zhou Yan was naturally very familiar with guns.
The weapon in his hand had tremendous power, if someone got hit, chances were slim for survival.
"Who exactly are they?" This was something Zhou Yan hadn’t anticipated.
Typically, because of domestic prohibitions, other than government authorities, others don’t get to see them nor have access to buy them.
But for some, like criminals, they could still find secretive channels to purchase them.
"Luckily, there’s just one. If there were more, it wouldn’t be something the precinct could handle alone." Zhou Yan whispered to herself in reassurance.
At this moment, she felt Lin Xi’s gaze fixed on another corner, as she looked over there, a chill ran through her heart.
"What are they planning?" Zhou Yan broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
These weapons could completely overpower their station, even the department wouldn’t compare.
"Brother Shan, you owe me a hundred thousand!" At the gambling table, a skinny man said to the stout bald man across from him.
"Just a hundred thousand, afraid I can’t pay up?" The bald man had many scars on his face, looking vicious.
"How could that be, after this job each of us will get at least five million, a hundred thousand is nothing to Brother Shan."
"Good that you know!"
"By the way, Brother Shan, isn’t this client weird? They paid us to kidnap the Wang family’s girl, demanded ransom but not to harm her, just to release her upon payment."
"Yes, yes, this kind of deal is practically handing us money!"
Brother Shan stroked his bald head, frowning, saying, "Probably some fool with too much money, out to disgust people intentionally."
"But this girl, she’s freaking pretty, I hear she’s even studied abroad."
"Then Brother Shan, how about we..."
Slap!
The speaker immediately got slapped on the head by the bald man, who glared at him fiercely, "Even if you want to die, don’t drag me down, okay?"
"Don’t forget the client isn’t someone we can mess with, not even the Wang family!"
"If we go too far, and the Wang family puts up a billion for a reward, do you think we’d die miserably?"
The questioner broke out in a cold sweat as he listened.
Although they were somewhat known in the easternmost region, if someone were to offer a billion as a reward, then even in Southeast Asia, there would be at least ten teams stronger than them hunting them down.
"Now that we’ve kidnapped, aren’t we also offending them?" The man drinking water came over.
"Offending is offending, but we haven’t crossed their line, this still falls within their tolerable range, and they won’t spend vast time and resources on us." The bald man said.
"Once they find it unprofitable, the Wang family will naturally give up on us, after all, we’re not easy to deal with!"
....
Zhou Yan was on her phone, sending a message to inform the precinct of the situation here.
Lin Xi’s gaze fixed on a room on the second floor, from the factory’s layout, there was only that one room, Wang Xian should be inside.
Judging by the scent, the fragrance was strongest on the second floor.
For the kidnappers, Wang Xian certainly needed to be closest to them for convenient watch.
Lin Xi signaled Zhou Yan to follow him, planning to circle to the other side of the factory, see if there were any windows or the like.
The other side of the factory was made of solid walls, with a small window on the second floor.
The wall recessed five meters from the ground to the window ledge, apart from the window, there wasn’t any point of support.
"The special police will arrive in roughly an hour, then we can launch a full assault!" Zhou Yan received a reply and told Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded in agreement, he had already confirmed that upstairs there was only one person, undoubtedly Wang Xian.
Originally, he planned to demonstrate some incredible skills, but having heard Zhou Yan say that, he decided to wait.
After all, given the current situation, Wang Xian’s life wasn’t in immediate danger.
"Wee woo wee woo wee woo..."
Is that the sound of a siren?
Lin Xi and Zhou Yan’s faces changed, wasn’t there supposed to be an hour left?
And you’re being ridiculously loud, really afraid the kidnappers won’t hear it!
Inside the factory, although the kidnappers were taken aback, they didn’t descend into chaos.
The bald man named Brother Shan, accompanied by his brothers, grabbed the rifles in the corner, and he directed, "One-eye, go upstairs and watch the girl, everyone else, get ready!"
The police car just stopped at the entrance, Ren Hao led seven officers, stood in front of the car and shouted into the factory, "Those inside, listen up, listen up inside, you are surrounded, you are surrounded!"
"Hand over Miss Wang immediately, come out and surrender, or don’t blame us for being impolite."
"I’ll count to ten, if you don’t come out, we’ll launch a full assault!"
The bald man looked at Ren Hao and his men, feeling dumbfounded and furious, with so few people, dare to be so arrogant, not taking them seriously.
"Count your mother~fucker!"
"Kill them for me!"
