"They're here to save us!" Tan Guiren was overjoyed as she held the two children. "That's great! We're saved! "
She wanted to run out, but Huo Shaoheng retreated stealthily. At the same time, he quickly ordered through his Bluetooth headset, "Everyone retreat! Everyone retreat! Immediately! "
"Boss! What are you going to do?! "Zhao Liangze's trembling voice came through the Bluetooth headset.
"Don't worry about me. You guys retreat immediately. This is an order! Leave this street and retreat according to the predetermined route! This is an order! "Huo Shaoheng's voice was still calm at this critical juncture.
Zhao Liangze's heart ached. He hated himself for not tying Tan Guiren up earlier!
He let her run around!
Now that something had happened, Huo Shao was trapped in the building by the police and military who had heard the news. They were treating Huo Shao like a kidnapper!
Even if Tan Guiren spoke up and said that he wasn't a kidnapper and was here to save her, it was impossible to explain with so many kidnapper corpses in the building.
Of course, the most important thing was that Huo Shaoheng couldn't show his face no matter what!
Zhao Liangze heard Huo Shaoheng's tone and knew he was looking for an opportunity to escape.
As long as the Special Operations Forces Team A and Team B successfully withdrew, it would be easier for Huo Shaoheng to escape alone.
"Let's go back first." Zhao Liangze secretly ordered and disappeared into the darkness with his men.
In front of them, the military police surrounded the six-story building that was still burning.
The fire truck also drove over, and the huge hose was set up to extinguish the fire on the first floor in no time.
Huo Shaoheng looked coldly at the armed military and police outside. He looked at their armored vehicles, police cars, and helicopters in the sky. He quickly had an idea.
"Miss Tan, take the two children out now and find the police. They're looking for you." Huo Shaoheng pushed her. "You're free. After you get out, return to the Huaxia Empire immediately. Don't delay. Our people will escort you back. "
"What about you?" Tan Guiren turned around and looked at Huo Shaoheng blankly. "Come with us. I'll explain to them that you're not a kidnapper and that you're here to save us!"
Tan Guiren didn't know what Huo Shaoheng's identity was, but she knew that whoever her father sent couldn't be a bad person!
"No, I still have things to do," Huo Shaoheng said as he gently pushed Tan Guiren.
He was now convinced that the whole case was a trap. The goal was to lure him to the United States and make him fall into such a trap.
Someone wanted his life.
He had been tricked.
Tan Guiren stumbled out of the house with a child in each hand. She stood helplessly under the searchlight that was as bright as day.
At this moment, she was only glad that the kidnapper had been kind enough to let her go to the bathroom to clean herself up, wash her hair, change her clothes, and even thought of using sanitary napkins. Otherwise, she would still be as dirty as she was yesterday. If so many people saw her, it would be really embarrassing.
When the military police on the other side saw someone rushing out, they immediately raised their guns and aimed. When they saw that it was just a woman with disheveled hair and two skinny and dirty children, they immediately understood that they were hostages kidnapped by the kidnappers!
Tan Guiren looked exactly the same as the photo they had received.
Officer A of the Upper West Side of Manhattan rushed over and waved at them loudly. "Come here! Come here quickly! You're safe! "
Tan Guiren's eyes warmed as she quickly ran over with the two children.
Two female police officers quickly rushed over and held her on both sides. They searched her body to make sure she didn't have any weapons or time bombs on her before wrapping her up in a large blanket.
The two children were also taken to the police car behind them to have their fingerprints taken and their names and identities questioned.
Tan Guiren only came back to her senses after a long time and realized that she was really saved.
The experience of the past month was like a nightmare to him.
Thank God, she was finally awake from this nightmare …
She turned around and looked in the direction of the small building. She opened her mouth and wanted to call out to the person who had just saved her. At this moment, the policewoman beside her suddenly pulled her back and hid beside an armored car. Then, several police cars with heavy weapons aimed at the small building and began to shoot!
Countless bullets hit the door of the small building, sending dust flying everywhere. The dust danced under the beams of the searchlights, and the small building swayed as the dust spread.
There were also submachine guns on the helicopters in the sky. They aimed at the small building and sprayed it with all their might. In the end, they even fired small grenades!
The small building that had already been bombed once now collapsed with a loud crash, sending up even more dust.
Tan Guiren's expression changed. She turned to look at the female police officer and asked coldly, "What are you doing? What if there are hostages inside?! "
"Are there hostages inside? Didn't you all escape? " The female police officer glanced at her and stepped aside. Two white men in black uniforms walked over from behind and compared her face with the photo. They said politely, "Miss Tan Guiren?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?" The gunshots were so loud that Tan Guiren was practically shouting.
The two men looked at each other and said loudly, "We are the FBI. We are in charge of your case. Please come with us."
"I'm the victim! When I was kidnapped, you didn't arrest the bad guys. Now that I've escaped, you're questioning me? Are you being reasonable?! " Tan Guiren was so angry that her eyes were red. She was about to continue reasoning with the two men when she suddenly heard a commotion beside her. The gunshots stopped abruptly and then started more frequently.
She and the two uniformed men looked over together.
They saw a tall figure standing in the dust from the collapsed building. The semi-automatic submachine gun in his hand was clearly visible, but he was wearing a helmet and a hood that even covered his eyes.
Tan Guiren froze. Wasn't that the man who had saved her?
He still hadn't escaped?!
Where were his big sunglasses?
Tan Guiren was about to speak when she heard the military police yell, "Arrest him! He's a kidnapper! "They surrounded him from all sides.
Tan Guiren panicked and pushed the two police officers in front of her. She shouted, "Stop! Stop! Don't shoot! He's not a kidnapper! "
But no one paid attention to her. The American military police around her hid behind the armored vehicles and police cars as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They shot wildly at the ruins of the collapsed building.
The helicopter in the sky rumbled loudly, and the searchlights shone even brighter.
One of the police officers beside her said excitedly, "That's great! The TV station is going to make a killing this time! "
"Of course! Have you ever seen a global live broadcast like this? Look at that helicopter behind us. That's NBC's live broadcast helicopter! "
Tan Guiren was so angry that she couldn't speak.
These people were too despicable!
They couldn't catch the bad guys, so they wanted to kill innocent people to claim credit!
No one listened to her voice, and no one responded to her cries.
The sound of gunfire became more and more intense, and the firepower became fiercer and fiercer. The figure that stood up from the ruins ran under the pursuit of the searchlights. He was like a warrior in the ancient Roman Colosseum, surrounded by ferocious beasts that chased him, and these military police wielding guns and cannons were the cruel spectators!
Tan Guiren burst into tears again. It was all because of her, all because of her …
If she hadn't insisted on coming back to save the two children, that man wouldn't have suffered such a fate!
Tan Guiren couldn't bear the thought of him dying because of her stupidity.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the helicopter circling in the sky. Then she looked at the surrounding police officers and soldiers hiding behind the armored vehicles and police cars, eager to try. With a shake of her arm, she wrapped the large blanket around her and rushed out!
The people around them were all attracted by the scene of the "kidnapper" being chased. No one noticed, or perhaps no one expected, that Tan Guiren, whom they had just "rescued," would actually rush out in a hail of bullets all by herself!
Bullets whizzed around her. Tan Guiren closed her eyes and ran forward, using all her strength to run toward the tall figure.
Only then did the military police who were shooting realize that the "hostage" was actually running to save the "kidnapper."
“Stop! Stop!” A high-ranking FBI officer who was commanding the scene hurried over to stop the shooting. "Don't shoot!"
"Boss, why did you stop?!" His subordinate was unhappy. "We're almost going to catch that person!"
"Get out! Didn't you see the live broadcast?! The TV station's phones are exploding with calls! The audience saw that woman run out. Do you want to kill her?! Don't you know that we used the excuse of rescuing her to get so many guns, ammunition, and SEALs?! "The officer lowered his voice to reprimand his brainless subordinate.
The live broadcast was a double-edged sword for their operation.
On one hand, they could use the live broadcast to prove that their operation was correct and didn't cross the line at all. This would garner the most attention, but on the other hand, because it was a live broadcast, any carelessness could lead to the opposite effect of "abusing the police force."
The deafening sound of gunfire in the Bronx stopped. After the FBI chief discussed with the military, they no longer used the indiscriminate bombing method. Instead, they sent snipers to hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity.
The searchlights suddenly went out, and the live broadcast stopped.
The female anchor in the TV station began to discuss with the audience why the kidnapped hostage would brave the hail of bullets to save the kidnapper.
Everyone came to a unanimous conclusion.
This woman must have suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, or hostage complex or hostage syndrome. The victim developed feelings for the perpetrator and even helped the perpetrator in return.
…
Huo Shaoheng hugged his gun and finally climbed over a low wall before the last bullet from the military police behind him could reach him. He hid behind the wall.
Sitting on the ground, he could finally catch his breath.
His arm was burning. He wasn't shot, but the bullet grazed his skin.
A woman wrapped in a blanket knelt beside him. It was Tan Guiren. She asked him carefully, "Are you okay?"
