Chapter 434: Unexpected Incident

At this moment, the ninth floor of the building.

The room rented by the ruthless bandit Chen Yiyuan and several brothers.

"Boss, the cops have surrounded this place!" A subordinate, a ruthless bandit, pulled the curtain open a little and said to Chen Yiyuan.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yiyuan picked up his gear and said, "Split up. The police are probably evacuating citizens right now. We'll split up to escape and regroup once we're out! Axin, come with me; A Long and Azhong, you two together!"

"Understood, Brother Yuan!" Everyone nodded one after another, then picked up their gear, preparing to head out.

But the moment they pushed the door open, they bumped into another group of people.

They were also holding weapons and looking at them with vigilance.

"Wait, don't move!" Chen Yiyuan immediately raised his hand to stop his brothers, then said to the other party, "What should I call you, brother?"

The burly man said indifferently, "Just call me Tong Guo."

"I'm Chen Yiyuan! Which path are you brothers on?" Chen Yiyuan continued to ask.

Tong Guo said coldly, "No need to tell you!"

Chen Yiyuan sighed and said, "I can see you brothers aren't in a legitimate line of work either. Right now, there are at least several hundred Police surrounding the place airtight. We're grasshoppers on the same string!"

Tong Guo pondered for a moment and said, "Taking money to do things for others. What about you?"

"Robbing a gold shop!" Chen Yiyuan said indifferently, "I think we can cooperate!"

Tong Guo sneered and said, "No need. The Police who came this time are all PTU, just street patrol units. We can charge out when we find an opportunity! I think it's better if we each go our own way!"

Chen Yiyuan spread his hands and said, "Fine! Suit yourself!"

Saying this, both sides held their weapons and watched each other vigilantly as they left in different directions.

The Police soon cut the power to the building's elevators, and one could clearly hear the sound of them evacuating residents downstairs.

Chen Yiyuan had his subordinates hide their gear, intending to blend in with the residents to withdraw.

Meanwhile, another group of PTU had already arrived at the door of the room Chen Yiyuan had previously rented.

"Fang sir, we have arrived at the location where the bandits are hiding. Can we proceed with the operation?" the PTU Captain asked.

After receiving the order, the PTU Captain immediately called his subordinates over, took a door-breaching tool, and smashed it hard against the door lock.

Little did they know that when Chen Yiyuan and the others left, they had long since used Shoumiliudan and gas canisters to make a simple cluster bomb.

The moment the door was smashed open, the sound of an explosion suddenly rang out.

Then, the sky-high flames directly swallowed the entire room, and the shockwave even shattered the windows and vented outward.

At this moment, inside the command vehicle on the perimeter of the scene.

A woman walked in.

Fang Jiexia took a look, then introduced her to the Superintendent Yang beside her: "Sir, this is Zhou from the Public Relations Branch!"

Zhou smiled at the two of them: "Sir! Good morning!"

Fang Jiexia asked directly, "How many media outlets have come?"

Zhou sat down and said, "Three television stations, three radio stations, eighteen newspapers and magazines! Plus five foreign news agencies! There are about eighty Reporters who have come to interview!"

Fang Jiexia nodded and said, "I've drafted the key points; help me write a press release!"

"No problem, I'll have it to you in ten minutes!" Zhou nodded and began to work! Fang Jiexia continued, "What about the photos we're sending out?"

"They've already been developed; I picked a few that look cool and handsome! They're being touched up on the computer now. For the footage, I found a film director to edit it; once it's cut and paired with music, it'll definitely be very effective!" Zhou answered Fang Jiexia's question while writing the draft. "Very good, get it done and sent to the media as soon as possible!" Fang Jiexia nodded and said, "Also, tell the media that I will give them an update every half hour!"

But before the words were even finished, the sound of an explosion inside the building suddenly rang out.

Superintendent Yang and Fang Jiexia immediately ran out to look and discovered that a room on the ninth floor was engulfed in flames.

The sound of the explosion had come from there.

This situation caused the Reporters downstairs to frantically press their camera shutters.

And those holding video cameras also aimed them at the window spewing raging flames.

"Ask B Squad what the situation is!" Fang Jiexia's face turned pale, and she immediately said to her subordinate.

"B Squad isn't responding at all. Could it be..." the subordinate said cautiously.

"Shut up!" Fang Jiexia immediately scolded, then said to the subordinate, "Notify all PTU squads to charge up there for me."

The subordinate was helpless and could only nod to go and order the PTU personnel to act.

Fang Jiexia looked at the tongues of flame in the room and said to Zhou, who was to the side, "Handle those media!"

Superintendent Yang frowned and said, "Blown up like this, how are we supposed to broadcast it!"

Unlike Fang Jiexia, Superintendent Yang at least had some self-awareness. They, the ones who sat in offices, had never participated in frontline activities, and he himself did not approve of doing this show.

If it weren't for Huang Yuanbin strongly pushing this plan, Superintendent Yang would have just played dead like the other high-ranking officials.

Zhou smiled and said, "Sir, we will re-edit it. By then, the media will only see our PTU heroically chasing bandits and rescuing trapped residents! As for the rest, they won't see anything!"

"Sir, do you want to say a few words to the media?" Fang Jiexia continued with her crazy maneuvers.

Superintendent Yang said unhappily, "Not at a time like this!"

"Then I will!" Fang Jiexia picked up the speech draft and walked directly toward the media.

It must be said that when it comes to faking things, this woman really has some tricks up her sleeve. In front of the media, she directly spun this explosion as an accident that occurred during a firefight with the bandits, which temporarily stabilized the situation.

But then, an accident happened again!

The PTU personnel received orders to charge upstairs and happened to bump into Chen Yiyuan and his group.

Seeing Chen Yiyuan and the others acting so calm, these PTU immediately became suspicious and told them to take out the items in their travel bags for inspection.

Chen Yiyuan and his group couldn't avoid it anymore and directly drew their guns and opened fire.

This sudden attack caught the Police off guard.

The AKs in the hands of the four ruthless bandits directly sealed off the hallway; it could be said that they would take down as many as came.

Fighting and retreating, they could only fall back into a unit on the eighth floor.

And unfortunately, in this unit on the eighth floor, there happened to be a family that hadn't managed to evacuate in time.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot!" Chen Yiyuan immediately took the father of this family hostage and shouted loudly at the approaching Police Tactical Unit.

Now the Police Tactical Unit dared not act rashly; they had not expected that there were still hostages inside the building who had not been evacuated.

After forcing the Police back, Chen Yiyuan said to the father and two children among this family: "We don't want to hurt anyone, we just want to take shelter here for a while, do you understand? Don't do anything that makes me feel threatened, and once we leave, the three of you will be fine."

Feilao nodded hurriedly: "Then how should I cooperate with you?"

"Just turn on the television and watch the live broadcast," Chen Yiyuan said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
