Chapter 374

Smith School.

A large number of cops surrounded the school, three layers inside and three layers outside, but no one dared to act rashly. The students in the school were all rich or powerful, and there was even a top-tier second-generation like Xierlin.

Besides the cops, the Flying Tigers were also on the scene. Dealing with terrorists was the duty of the Flying Tigers; after all, ordinary police officers, whether in terms of weapons or training, were not enough to deal with vicious terrorists.

The current Flying Tigers had already abandoned the MP5 and fully switched to the MPX.

Behind the cops and the Flying Tigers were a large number of reporters who had heard the news, as well as students' parents with anxious expressions.

Seeing no opportunity to interview the police force personnel, many reporters turned their microphones toward the students' parents. These people were all upper-class figures in Hong Kong, and reporting on them would have more topicality.

"These guys are just like flies smelling shit; you can't drive them away."

Beside a command vehicle, two cops were huddled together. One of them glanced at the reporters and snorted coldly.

This person was not old, but his rank was not low; he was a rising star of the police force named Zhou Xingxing (from the movie "Fight Back to School").

"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you and it gets in the newspaper, you'll have a hard time."

Another middle-aged cop said. His name was Cao Dahua (from the movie "Fight Back to School"), and he was Zhou Xingxing's partner.

"What are you afraid of! I've never been afraid of anyone since I grew up!"

After Zhou Xingxing finished speaking, he looked toward the inside of the school and frowned, saying, "What's going on? The Flying Tigers are here, how much longer do we have to wait to act?"

"We don't even know what the situation is inside, how can we act? Don't forget that these aren't ordinary students inside; even the Viceroy's daughter is there. If there's any slip-up, can you take responsibility for it?"

Cao Dahua said.

"Damn it, no matter what, we can't just drag this out."

Zhou Xingxing said.

"There's no other way; no one has absolute certainty."

Cao Dahua shrugged and said.

"Even if there isn't, we have to try! Are we just going to watch those terrorists do whatever they want?"

Zhou Xingxing was about to argue further when he suddenly heard a roar approaching rapidly from far to near.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Xingxing looked over and was immediately startled. He saw two twin-rotor armed helicopters flying over and slowly landing not far away.

"No way, even armed helicopters are here?"

Zhou Xingxing rubbed his eyes, and after confirming he hadn't seen wrong, he exclaimed. He never expected that two armed helicopters would be dispatched.

However, immediately after, Zhou Xingxing realized something was wrong. Although the Hong Kong police force had helicopters, they were only small helicopters, and he couldn't even recognize the model of the armed helicopters in front of him.

"That's a Scorpion armed helicopter, the latest product from Black Steel Industry. I heard its performance has already surpassed the American Apache; it's the most excellent armed helicopter in the world."

Cao Dahua said.

Before Zhou Xingxing could recover, he saw the cabin doors of both Scorpions open simultaneously, and then a man in a crisp suit with outstanding features like a movie star walked down.

"Who is he? He looks even more handsome than me?"

Zhou Xingxing asked.

"You don't even know Mr. Ni?"

Cao Dahua looked at Zhou Xingxing as if he were looking at an alien and said, "I've told you not to train every day; now you've almost trained your brain stupid.

That is Ni Yongyao. Not only is he a Legislative Councilor, but he also owns several large companies. The Black Steel Industry that produces the Scorpions belongs to Ni Yongyao, and the MPX you love the most is also produced by Black Steel Industry."

"He is Ni Yongyao?"

Hearing Cao Dahua's introduction, Zhou Xingxing finally connected the Ni Yongyao in front of him with the Ni Yongyao on TV and in the newspapers. He then thought for a moment and said, "He's a super billionaire, what is he doing here?"

"Mr. Ni is the boss of Black Steel International; he must be here to rescue the hostages."

Cao Dahua said.

"Saving people is the duty of the police force; when is it a private security company's turn? And look at the people he brought; with so many women, how are they going to rescue hostages?"

Zhou Xingxing pointed behind Ni Yongyao and said.

Cao Dahua looked over and saw Ni Yongyao surrounded by Huohu, Mindy, Sophia, and the Battle Sister squad—indeed surrounded by beauties.

"Whether they are men or women doesn't matter. Since Mr. Ni brought them here, these people must all be elite employees of Black Steel International.

You don't know, but the reputation of Black Steel International is much louder than the Hong Kong police force now. Whether it's the citizens or the people at the top, they trust them more."

Cao Dahua said.

Zhou Xingxing looked around, saw the crowd stirring because of Ni Yongyao's appearance, curled his lips, and said nothing more.

On the other side.

A group of reporters had originally been interviewing the students' parents, but seeing Ni Yongyao walk out of the cabin, their eyes lit up, and they swarmed over.

Compared to Ni Yongyao, any billionaire or high-ranking official had to stand aside. Ni Yongyao was currently the hottest topic in Hong Kong; anything he said could cause a heated discussion.

"Mr. Ni! May I ask what is the reason for your appearance at this time?"

"Mr. Ni! When will Black Steel International take action? How much longer are we going to let these terrorists be arrogant?"

In an instant, a large number of reporters were clamoring, with all kinds of questions emerging one after another.

However, Ni Yongyao showed no reaction to these and walked toward the school with an expressionless face.

The Battle Sisters guarded Ni Yongyao's side, blocking all the reporters; no one could get close to him.

Soon, Ni Yongyao passed through the crowd and walked near the school gate.

This area was already within the police's perimeter.

"Wesley, find a good position, and don't act until you hear my order."

Ni Yongyao instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Ni."

Wesley nodded and turned to walk toward the distance. As a top sniper, Wesley had already found a commanding height on the way here.

Just as Wesley left, Lina, with an anxious face, trotted over.

"Mr. Ni, it's good that you're here. You must rescue Miss safely."

Lina said, panting, her smooth forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, clearly very worried about Xierlin's situation.

In fact, that was true. As Viceroy Norton's housekeeper, Lina could be said to have watched Xierlin grow up; their relationship was like sisters and also like mother and daughter.

"Don't worry, Xierlin will be fine."

Ni Yongyao said calmly.

Influenced by Ni Yongyao's tone, Lina also gradually calmed down.

"Mr. Ni, what do you need?"

Lina recovered and asked.

"The internal map of the school."

Ni Yongyao said.

"The map is with Officer Li; I'll go ask him for it."

Just as Lina finished speaking, she heard a steady voice behind her.

"No need to look for it, I've brought it to you."

Officer Li said, handing a map to Ni Yongyao.

"Mr. Ni, this time it all depends on you. Please ensure the safety of the hostages. You also know the identities of these students; if even one of them has a slip-up, it will be very difficult to clean up."

Officer Li said with a helpless face.

This group of terrorists choosing Smith School had grabbed the lifeline of the Hong Kong police. If they attacked, they worried about the safety of the hostages, but dragging it out like this wasn't a solution either. As time passed, the probability of the hostages being harmed would greatly increase.

Fortunately, Ni Yongyao had come, which made Officer Li breathe a sigh of relief; at least he didn't have to continue suffering.

"I came here entrusted by the Viceroy to rescue Miss Xierlin."
