Chapter 57: Hostage

Lu Yan He: Officer Qiu, don't tell me the murderer is on this bus.

Qiu Ling immediately sent a photo, which was a somewhat blurry screenshot. The content of the screenshot was a man at the bus stop.

It was the person sitting in front of Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He:... He is sitting in front of me.

Qiu Ling: We have caught up. Yan He, I want to ask you for a favor. At every stop, send me a message. If he gets off the bus before we catch up, help me pay attention to which stop he gets off at. He should still have the murder weapon in his hand and is very dangerous.

Lu Yan He swallowed hard and replied: Okay.

He tried hard to control his breathing so as not to reveal anything unusual.

But this was not something he could control just because he wanted to.

After knowing that the person sitting in front of him was the murderer who killed someone at the library just now, Lu Yan He couldn't control his adrenaline—he was nervous to the extreme!

The next stop arrived.

Lu Yan He immediately turned his head to look outside the bus, but there were no police-like people.

The person in front had no movement and no intention of standing up.

Lu Yan He immediately sent the name of this stop over.

He wanted to send a message to Qiu Ling to ask where they were, but he held back.

Just pretend you don't know anything and haven't discovered anything.

Doing nothing is the safest.

"Next stop, Lion Hall Station," the bus broadcast system announced.

At this moment, two cars suddenly overtook them, driving very fast, which made the bus driver furious, cursing: "Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

The man sitting in front looked up.

Lu Yan He observed him nervously, constantly telling himself to take a deep breath.

Really can't be nervous.

The more nervous, the more obvious it is.

Reason knows everything, but physiological nervousness and anxiety cannot be controlled.

Qiu Ling sent him a message: Our people have arrived at Lion Hall Station. If he doesn't get off at the next stop, we will go up, and you take the opportunity to get off.

Lu Yan He breathed a sigh of relief and replied: Okay.

Lion Hall Station was coming soon.

Lu Yan He took his bag, and seeing that the person in front had no intention of getting off, he stood up with his bag, walked forward, and prepared to get off.

Passing by He Lan, Lu Yan He looked at her.

She and her boyfriend were sitting in front of this murderer. If they really started moving, she would easily be accidentally injured.

If he could also bring her and her boyfriend down, it would definitely be more convenient for the police to move and make an arrest.

"What a coincidence to run into each other today, how about I treat you to a drink?" Lu Yan He asked proactively.

He Lan showed a flattered expression.

"Ah? Really?"

Lu Yan He said: "You watch my livestream all the time, so I just happen to have a chance to thank you."

Just then, Lion Hall Station arrived.

The bus stopped.

The back door opened.

Lu Yan He said: "Let's go, I know there happens to be a nice cafe here."

He Lan nodded happily and said okay.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, not daring to look back again, and got off the bus.

He Lan and Li Chang also followed down.

At this moment, two tall and strong men got on from the front door.

Suddenly, in an instant, the murderer stood up from his seat and rushed toward the back door.

"Stop!" The man who got on from the front door saw him trying to run and immediately roared.

But the murderer was faster and rushed off the bus.

At this moment, He Lan and Li Chang had just gotten off the bus and were still standing at the back door.

Lu Yan He only saw a figure rushing down from the back door. He immediately shouted "Careful!" and pushed He Lan and Li Chang aside at the first moment.

The next second, Lu Yan He found himself being restrained.

That person hugged his neck, and the other hand was actually holding a fruit knife-sized blade, pressing it against his throat, roaring: "All of you back off!"

He Lan let out a scream.

People who had been lying in ambush around them immediately rushed forward and pulled them apart.

Six or seven people surrounded them in a semi-circle at the bus stop.

Other passengers on the bus were stunned, hiding in the bus, looking at the situation outside through the window glass, and several people took out their phones to record.

In this era, such things were almost never seen.

They suddenly ran into it once and were all stunned.

Lu Yan He was dumbfounded at this moment.

Damn, became a hostage?

Lu Yan He was tightly held by the murderer, stepping back step by step.

"All of you back off, or I'll kill him!" the murderer roared.

Qiu Ling was among those six or seven people.

She held a handgun in her hand, aiming at them.

"Zhou Binshi, don't make mistakes again! This boy is innocent!"

"Back off! Back off immediately! Let me go, otherwise I'll kill him!" the murderer named Zhou Binshi continued to roar.

Lu Yan He had never felt so aggrieved as he did now.

However, his neck was being pressed by this dog's knife, and the sharp pain and threat brought by the blade made him dare not act rashly.

But strangely, at this moment, Lu Yan He's heart was not so nervous anymore.

He was thinking every second how he could escape danger.

The police had to retreat slowly under his threat, watching helplessly as Lu Yan He was taken away by Zhou Binshi.

Lu Yan He didn't intend to let himself be coerced and taken away like this.

He also saw that in Qiu Ling's eyes looking at him, there was a hint—although he didn't understand what she was hinting at, at least she told him one thing: they still had a backup plan.

Lu Yan He opened his mouth: "Where are you taking me?"

Zhou Binshi immediately glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!"

"You don't dare to kill me anyway, you can't threaten me," Lu Yan He said.

Zhou Binshi's knife immediately increased a bit of force: "Try it!"

"If you kill me, you definitely won't be able to escape," Lu Yan He said firmly. "Don't threaten me, it's useless."

Lu Yan He's tone was completely unafraid of Zhou Binshi, but in reality, he was reminding Zhou Binshi not to act rashly.

This person's mental state was too unstable now, and he was afraid that Zhou Binshi would kill him under stimulation if he wasn't careful.

Zhou Binshi didn't say anything else. He hugged Lu Yan He's neck and took Lu Yan He back step by step. When he was about to get off the platform, Lu Yan He seized the moment Zhou Binshi looked back, suddenly grabbed Zhou Binshi's right wrist with both hands and pushed it outward.

His right hand was holding the knife, pressing against Lu Yan He's throat.

Lu Yan He controlled Zhou Binshi's right hand while kicking Zhou Binshi's calf fiercely with his foot.

Zhou Binshi was furious at Lu Yan He's actions.

But in that instant, two sturdy plainclothes police officers rushed up and disarmed the knife in Zhou Binshi's hand.

Lu Yan He's danger was resolved. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
