Chapter 213: Take Action

The police siren from downstairs reached the exhibition hall, giving the hostages inside a glimmer of hope.

But as the siren wailed for a long time, no police burst in, and the hope gradually faded.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the exhibition hall entrance, fired two shots at the robbers, then swiftly slipped away.

The two robbers fell to the ground instantly.

The remaining robbers were startled and immediately went on guard.

Tuzi, seeing this, immediately sent a few of the robbers after them.

Chen Mo saw clearly that the figure was Shen Guodong.

"A Jie, get ready to act."

Chen Mo guessed that Shen Guodong might have come to rescue them.

He had originally planned to wait until the doctors cracked the code before moving, but now that seemed impossible.

Letting Shen Guodong and Gao Jin fight alone outside was too dangerous.

As a robber slipped up to Chen Mo, Chen Mo pushed off his feet, leapt up instantly, and lunged at the robber.

An elbow strike hit the robber's neck, killing him instantly.

Then Chen Mo snatched the robber's Micro‑Chong and fired rapidly at several nearby robbers.

At the moment Chen Mo acted, Li Jie also acted.

He lunged at another robber, also seizing a gun and shooting.

If nothing went wrong, the two could eliminate half the robbers in an instant.

But an accident happened.

After Chen Mo took the Micro‑Chong from the robber, he pulled the trigger, and a full clip of bullets poured out.

However, the expected hits did not occur.

Holding the Micro‑Chong, Chen Mo lacked the feel of a pistol as an extension of his arm; instead he turned into a human outline master, looking terrifying, and not a single shot hit.

"Damn!" Chen Mo muttered, either his self‑trained gun technique was unreliable or just not up to par!

The beginner's firearm mastery purchased from the system only applies to pistols; the Micro‑Chong doesn't count!!!

There was no time for Chen Mo to buy a skill from the system; the robber had already aimed the barrel at him.

Without time to think, Chen Mo hurriedly smashed the empty‑magazine Micro‑Chong at a robber, then vaulted away.

Bullets rained down on the ground behind Chen Mo like rain.

Facing several barrels firing simultaneously, Chen Mo's superhuman physique erupted fully.

His body darted rapidly, constantly dodging the incoming bullets.

Shen Guodong appeared again, firing at the robbers together with Li Jie inside the exhibition hall.

But the number of robbers inside was huge; Li Jie and Shen Guodong could only fire while dodging, unable to stand their ground.

In the critical moment, Chen Mo leapt and landed beside a TNS security guard's corpse.

Picking up the pistol in the corpse's hand, Chen Mo felt a difference immediately.

Like a gun god possessing him, Chen Mo fired three shots in a row, blasting the heads of three robbers who were sweeping at him.

"Everyone stay still!" a roar rang through the exhibition hall.

It turned out Long Bo and Cao Charlie had just taken advantage of the chaos to approach the code expert, and were holding a grabbed gun against the expert's head.

Long Bo, holding the code expert hostage, threatened the robbers: "Everyone stay still! Otherwise I'll kill this code expert."

"If I kill him, you won't be able to open the jewelry cabinet; all your effort will be wasted!"

TNS's security system is highly advanced; each display case has explosives underneath, which detonate instantly if forced open.

Without this code expert, they really can't proceed.

Tuzi, fearing to act against his own, could only signal his subordinates to pause firing.

Li Jie and Shen Guodong both let out a breath.

Chen Mo, of course, also stopped immediately.

He couldn't just eliminate all the robbers now; that wouldn't maximize his profit.

Just as everyone relaxed, thinking they were saved, the doctor hidden in the shadows frowned.

Then the doctor quietly approached Tuzi with half a bottle of liquor, clamped his neck, and pressed the broken end of the bottle against Tuzi's throat.

"Don't move!" the doctor pretended to hold Tuzi, and began threatening the other robbers.

"I told you all not to move, understand? Otherwise I'll kill him!"

The other robbers, who knew the doctor, all showed a flash of surprise.

"Tell them to drop their weapons! Quickly!" the doctor threatened into Tuzi's ear.

Amid the other robbers' hesitant looks, Tuzi calmly said, "Put your weapons down."

The other robbers looked at their leader and second‑in‑command, confused about what these two were doing, but obediently complied, slowly placing their guns on the ground.

At this moment, Shen Guodong and Li Jie also stepped out from behind cover.

"Mo Ge, are you okay?" Shen Guodong rushed to Chen Mo's side, and Li Jie came over as well.

Chen Mo shrugged lightly, "I'm fine, we can talk later; first I need to reload."

Both Shen Guodong and Li Jie were holding Micro‑Chongs they had seized from the robbers; those things consume ammunition too quickly.

But the two thought the robbers were already under control, so they didn't take Chen Mo's words seriously, merely swapping for a fully loaded gun without refilling much ammo.

Chen Mo knew the fight wasn't over, so he quickly scavenged a few pistols and magazines from the security guards' corpses.

Sure enough, after the robbers put down their guns, the doctor used the pretext of convenience to guard them, letting Long Bo hand the code expert over to him.

After collecting several magazines, Chen Mo walked to Shen Guodong and asked, "Guodong, why did you come up? Where's A Jin?"

"I and Jin Ge took down a few robbers and secured the control room. We saw on the CCTV that you were in danger, so I came up to help."

Brother Jin is still in the surveillance room watching the other robbers' actions.

Hearing Shen Guodong say Gao Jin was still in the surveillance room, Li Jie immediately asked, "Doctor? Have you found where the doctor is?"

He didn't hear the doctor's voice, and Chen Mo didn't tell him the doctor's identity, so he still thought the doctor was on another floor.

Chen Mo patted Li Jie's shoulder, reassuring: "Don't worry, the doctor can't run away. Guodong, what's going on with the police outside? Why haven't they come in yet?"

"All the hotel's entrances and exits are guarded by the robbers, and they've planted bombs; the police probably can't defuse them, so they likely won't be able to get in for a while."

While they were talking, Le Huizhen no longer bothered with the rule against filming, openly picking up a video camera and starting to record.

This is the first crime scene; releasing it would be big news.

And Jocay also came over, her eyes fixed on Chen Mo.

Just now Chen Mo was the first to act, seizing the gun and then dodging bullet after bullet; in Jocay's eyes he seemed like a deity descending to earth.

Although Shen Guodong and Li Jie were also formidable, standing before Chen Mo, aside from their looks being inferior, she could tell from their status that they were Chen Mo's subordinates.

"Sir, thank you for saving us; you were really amazing just now."

Chen Mo heard Jocay's voice, turned around and saw her two bright big eyes filled with gratitude and admiration, his heart startled.

"Is this little girl falling for me? Does she admire strength that much?"

"Although I don't want to provoke the police's girlfriend again, you're being so forward, I can hardly hold back!"
