Chapter 543: Bandits reappear!

Sun Weiwei lunged at him, again wanting to have a child with Lin Yuan.

This time she even brought rope and handcuffs.

She handcuffed Lin Yuan's wrists.

But Sun Weiwei miscalculated.

Lin Yuan quickly freed himself from the handcuffs.

Sun Weiwei was dazed?

Lin Yuan rolled over and pressed Sun Weiwei beneath him.

"Sun Weiwei, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuan snapped.

In her anger, seeing her plan fail, Sun Weiwei simply bit Lin Yuan's shoulder.

She bit down hard.

Lin Yuan's shoulder was bitten until it bled.

Lin Yuan also flew into a rage!

His shoulder burned with pain.

Lin Yuan slapped her hard across the face.

Then Lin Yuan rolled over and pressed Sun Weiwei beneath him again!

Sun Weiwei tried to struggle, but Lin Yuan immediately began to punish her severely!

"Crazy woman, you deserve a spanking, right? Fine! Daddy will satisfy you!" Lin Yuan flared, raising his hand to smash her buttocks hard.

Sun Weiwei's buttocks burned with pain, becoming red and swollen.

Lin Yuan really came down hard on her.

Sun Weiwei screamed in pain, so Lin Yuan ripped off her black stockings to stop her from making noise.

Lin Yuan stuffed the stocking into her mouth so she couldn't make a sound.

Sun Weiwei could only moan muffled, "Mmm… mmm…".

Her pretty face was covered in tears.

But Sun Weiwei was still struggling.

Obviously, this woman hadn't been tamed yet.

Looking at how difficult she was to tame,

Lin Yuan added fuel to the fire.

……

After a full three hours.

But at that moment, Sun Weiwei smiled.

Then she shoved open the office door and fled in a hurry.

This time she didn't give Lin Yuan a chance.

She hastily dressed, retaining Lin Yuan's sweat as she escaped.

Since this time Lin Yuan took the initiative,

how could she miss this opportunity?

Lin Yuan watched Sun Weiwei leave, helpless to stop her.

After Sun Weiwei left, Lin Yuan finally picked up his phone.

He sent Sun Weiwei a WeChat message: "Don't worry, I still won't let you get pregnant."

……

Meanwhile, having just returned to the office and about to do a handstand, Sun Weiwei saw the message and was completely dumbfounded??

Sun Weiwei's lovely eyes glazed over, she collapsed.

She angrily fired off a barrage of emojis at Lin Yuan!!

Sun Weiwei's plan failed again, and Lin Yuan mercilessly punished her.

And she was punished for nothing……

……

Over the next few days, Lin Yuan remained busy with the Wind Control Department's work.

And Wang Yining, ever since her promotion to HR Manager, never ceased her attentions toward Lin Yuan.

At 8:30 a. m., as Lin Yuan arrived at the office, his desk already held a latte with double milk.

A sticky note clung to the cup, reading "Three meetings today—don't go hungry."

Lin Yuan knew without looking that it was from Wang Yining.

At lunch, Wang Yining would, under the pretense of delivering a personnel transfer notice, place a wrapped Basque cake on his desk.

By evening, as coworkers left one by one, she would "happen" to stay late in the neighboring HR office, and when the hallway was empty, she'd sneak a folder into Lin Yuan's office.

Since the last time she had tasted Lin Yuan,

Wang Yining could be said to be completely addicted.

She had become utterly enamored with Lin Yuan's flavor.

So she would occasionally sneak into the office to tryst with Lin Yuan……

Sometimes, while Lin Yuan was working, Wang Yining would sneak in, crawl under his desk, and then help him……

Even when outsiders were present in Lin Yuan's office, Wang Yining would hide under the desk and continue……

She utterly enjoyed the thrill of this furtive behavior.

Lin Yuan, too, was made anxious and on edge by Wang Yining.

Wang Yining has been too bold lately; Lin Yuan fears that their relationship will be discovered.

……

In the evening, inside the City Public Security Bureau a few li outside.

The piercing alarm shattered the afternoon's tranquility!

The Criminal Police Brigade's office area instantly boiled over; on-duty officers grabbed their equipment and rushed onto the patrol cars!

Ten minutes ago, the 110 Command Center received an emergency alarm; in the city center, the gold shop at Starlight Mall was seized!

The bandits not only looted the gold jewelry inside the counter, but also controlled three on-site customers as hostages.

Mu Lingxue had just finished retrieving old case files from the archives; hearing the alarm, she instantly quickened her pace and went to the Criminal Police Brigade office.

Upon hearing "gold shop hostage," Mu Lingxue's expression tightened!

She quickly strode to the dispatch desk and asked in a solemn voice: "What's the exact situation? Have the bandits' features been described?"

"The caller said there were four bandits, all wearing black hoodies, moving quickly, not like ordinary thugs!" the dispatch officer reported at breakneck speed, "The scene hasn't sent back clear footage yet, but..."

"Are these the four who escaped after robbing the East City Gold Shop last time?" Mu Lingxue interrupted him, her beautiful eyes furrowing!

A month ago, in that gold shop robbery, four Ancient Martial Arts Bandits seized the gold shop and were finally captured. But the bandits broke out of prison and escaped.

Now, another gold shop robbery has occurred, and again there are four people?!

Could it be those four Ancient Martial Arts Bandits?!

At this moment, Criminal Police Brigade Captain Huo Gang also said with a solemn expression: "Their method of crime is too similar!"

"'Mu Team! Huo Team! Equipment's ready, we can set out anytime!' Just then, a young police officer Xiao Li slapped the police light and shouted toward the office."

Huo Gang's face was grim as iron: "Regardless of whether they're old accomplices, first deploy to control the scene! Preliminary judgment says the bandits all have martial arts training, are agile, and have the hostages trapped deep inside the gold shop; the situation is urgent!"

"'Received!' Mu Lingxue swiftly led a large group of Criminal Police Brigade members and charged out of the Public Security Bureau."

Everyone boarded the police cars!

The moment the sirens wailed! Red and blue lights flashed!

The convoy of three police cars, like an arrow released from a bow, sped toward Starlight Mall...

En route, Mu Lingxue had already contacted the Mall Security Department via walkie-talkie, ordering them to immediately seal all entrances and exits, while simultaneously retrieving surveillance footage of the gold shop and its surroundings to prepare for on-site deployment.

……

Twenty minutes later, the police cars stopped at the entrance of Starlight Mall.

As soon as Mu Lingxue got out of the car, she was engulfed by the chaos sweeping toward her.

Onlookers crowded the roadside, chatting incessantly...

Mall staff stood outside the police line, their faces deathly pale.

In the distance, the stifled sobs of the hostages' families could still be heard.

"'Everyone, listen up!' Huo Gang bellowed, directing: 'Team One, seal the mall's main and side doors; Team Two, go around to the rear door to cut off escape; snipers, immediately take the high ground in the opposite office building—quick!'"

The Criminal Police Brigade members swiftly took action, completing a full encirclement of the mall in under five minutes.

Mu Lingxue raised her binoculars to look inside the gold shop...

Through the foggy glass, four figures in black hoodies could be clearly seen, each tightly pressing a hostage against their side...

There were four adult hostages, plus a young boy who looked about seven or eight years old.

"'Sniper, report the situation!' Mu Lingxue shouted into the walkie-talkie."

The earpiece immediately crackled with a response: "Mu Team, the bandits' target positions are tricky; they're each standing at one of the four southeast, northwest, southwest, northeast corners, using the hostages as shields, with heads and torsos completely covered, leaving no firing window!"

Just then, a slit was slowly pulled open in the gold shop's rolling shutter!

A coarse voice came through the gap: "Police outside, listen! Give us half an hour to arrange a helicopter to land on the mall rooftop! If it's over half an hour and we still haven't gotten a helicopter,, every ten minutes we'll kill a hostage!"

As the words fell, the rolling shutter slammed down again, leaving only a suffocating silence.

Upon those words, the police outside's faces changed drastically!

This!

The bandits intend to escape by helicopter!

But it's absolutely impossible for the police to arrange a helicopter for the bandits.

So, what do we do?

Thus, the situation fell into a stalemate.

"'We can't agree to their unreasonable demands, but we must buy time!' Brigade Captain Huo Gang immediately made a decision!"

Huo Gang shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Have Negotiation Expert Team Leader Zhang come to the scene immediately!"

Ten minutes later, plainclothes negotiation expert Zhang Chi rushed to the scene.

The negotiation expert gripped the negotiation manual, quickly walked to Mu Lingxue's side, and said: "Mu Team, I roughly understand the situation; first, let's establish communication via the loudspeaker."

"'Friends inside, I am Zhang Chi, the negotiation expert of the City Public Security Bureau.' Zhang Chi's voice came through the loudspeaker, gentle yet powerful."

"'Coordinating a helicopter requires complex procedures, but we're pushing ahead with all our strength, and cash has already been contacted with the banks for preparation. Could we first confirm the hostages' safety? As long as you don't harm the hostages, everything is negotiable.'"

Just as Zhang Chi was about to continue persuading, a piercing gunshot suddenly rang out from inside the gold shop!

"'Ah......!' A shrill wail instantly pierced the air!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound...

Only see inside the gold shop: a male adult hostage's left leg was shot, blood instantly dyeing his jeans red; he collapsed on the ground, writhing in pain, his face ashen as paper.

Inside the gold shop, the other hostages screamed and cried in terror; the scene collapsed.

At that moment, a bandit grabbed the seven- or eight-year-old boy's collar, exposing the child's face.

The bandit's other hand pressed a pistol to the boy's temple: "Don't play tricks with me! I said, prepare a helicopter within half an hour! If after half an hour I don't see a helicopter's shadow, this brat's head will blow up!"

Having said that, the bandit, with the hostages, continued retreating back into the gold shop, hiding in a corner to stay out of the sniper's range.

Outside the mall.

Can't wait any longer. The negotiator Zhang Chi's face sank, he turned his head and said to Huo Gang, "They are desperadoes; stalling tactics have failed. I request to enter the gold store to negotiate at close range, at least to ascertain the hostages' exact condition."

"Too dangerous!" Mu Lingxue immediately objected, "They even dare to shoot hostages; going in would be like walking into a tiger's den!"

"This is currently the only option." Zhang Chi adjusted his collar, hid the communicator in his sleeve, "I'm not carrying any weapons; let them see my sincerity."

Huo Gang pondered for two seconds, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Keep communications open; we stand ready to reinforce at any moment."

Zhang Chi raised both hands and walked slowly toward the gold store's door.

Zhang Chi shouted into the gold store: "Brothers inside, I am the police bureau's negotiation expert; I have no weapons on me, I wish to enter alone to talk with you—may I? We can discuss anything, as long as you don't harm the hostages."

At that moment, the interior of the gold store fell silent for a few seconds.

Suddenly, the rolling gate rose slowly half a meter.

Entering the store, the bandits seemed to be observing this negotiation expert.

Zhang Chi proactively opened his clothing, saying, "I have no handgun weapons on me, nor at my waist."

Inside the gold store, after confirming there was no danger, the bandits coldly barked, "Come in!"

The negotiation expert Zhang Chi slowly walked into the store.

But... just as Zhang Chi had just stepped into the gold store...

Two bandits suddenly rushed out from both sides!

One covered his mouth, the other used handcuffs to reverse-cuff his hands.

Immediately afterward, the bandits fired fiercely at Zhang Chi's leg.

"Bang!" The bullet struck Zhang Chi's leg.

"Ah—!" The negotiation expert Zhang Chi screamed in agony!!

Immediately afterward, the communicator transmitted Zhang Chi's struggling cries...

Soon after, it was cut off!

A few seconds later, the bandits pushed the hostage-taken Zhang Chi to the glass door.

Only to see Zhang Chi covered in blood, already seriously wounded!

The bandits shouted in a rough voice: "Now there's one more 'hostage'! Prepare a helicopter within half an hour! Otherwise, execute all on duty! Countdown starts!!"

"Damn it!" Huo Gang fiercely smashed the nearby police car, his face turning ashen!

The negotiation expert was taken hostage, adding another hostage!

The situation completely fell into passivity.

The sniper again relayed information: the bandits, using the additional hostage..., further reduced their exposure range; the bandits even hid their fingertips behind the hostages.

Several young police officers gripped their pistols, attempting to flank from the rear and break out.

But Huo Gang loudly shouted them back: "Return! Charging in now is suicide! You might also injure the hostages!"

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, the blue-red lights of the police beacons reflecting on everyone's tense faces.

Mu Lingxue clenched her teeth.

At this point, conventional means had all failed.

These four Ancient Martial Arts Bandits act swiftly and ruthlessly; ordinary police cannot get close.

Mu Lingxue took a deep breath, finally made up her mind, and dialed Lin Yuan's phone!

At this moment, facing this group of Ancient Martial Arts Bandits, she could only turn to Lin Yuan for help.

Because Lin Yuan is also a martial artist; only Lin Yuan might have a chance to deal with these Ancient Martial Arts Bandits...

"Lin Yuan, it's me." The moment the call connected, Mu Lingxue's voice carried an undisguisable urgency: "The gold store at Starlight Mall, those four Ancient Martial Arts Bandits have reappeared, robbing the gold store! They've also taken four hostages; we're helpless. Only your secret hidden weapon can precisely strike from the gaps—please come help!"

On the other end of the line, silence lasted two seconds, then Lin Yuan's steady voice came through: "Send the location; I'll be there in five minutes."
