With the commotion in the classroom, the robbers outside immediately came in with their guns raised. The robber said coldly, "If you want to cry, hurry up and cry. If the Qinghe Group doesn't hand over the satellites, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to cry when the time comes."
With that, the armed robber walked out again.
Ren Xiaosu observed quietly. The robbers did not even enter the classroom most of the time and were all scattered throughout the school building. He was a little puzzled. Were these robbers not afraid that the students in the classroom would try to save themselves?
Or were these robbers too confident that they were not worried that their students could cause any trouble?
No, Ren Xiaosu felt these robbers were quite professional. They had planned this operation for several years, so they would definitely not choose arrogant people to carry it out.
Ren Xiaosu pretended to be depressed as he observed the students in the classroom.
However, he immediately realized there was another person in the classroom. Although he was also very young and was also wearing a school uniform, he did not look like he had been kidnapped at all. His expression was fake, but his eyes kept darting around him as he observed the "students" next to him.
Moreover, this person's temperament was also very obvious. If a professional soldier were to be placed next to a normal student, he would look like a rock on a plate of white sand. This person's posture remained straight even in the crowded environment, and his facial lines were extremely strong. It was obvious that he had undergone intensive training for a long period of time, and his body fat was extremely low.
Ren Xiaosu thought it was no wonder the robbers did not enter the classroom. So the situation in the classroom was also under their control. He had to admit that these robbers were really meticulous in their actions.
When the impersonator in the classroom glanced at Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu burst into tears. He said to the students next to him in a sobbing tone, "What should we do? Will these robbers really kill us? I don't want to die yet …. "
When the impersonator saw this, he looked away and observed the others again. It seemed like he was still a little disdainful of a coward like Ren Xiaosu.
At this moment, a student said, "Do you guys think the Qinghe Group will hand over the satellites?"
"I don't think so." Someone sighed and said, "After all, how can a few hundred students be more important than the satellites?"
"But the people from the Qinghe Group won't just sit back and do nothing. They're not that kind of people," a female student retorted.
"But the Qinghe Group is still a consortium," someone said.
Just as the students were discussing, a bandit came in with a camera. His face was painted with thick ink and camouflage. He then joked to the students, "I'm giving you a chance to save yourselves now. Do you want it?"
The students were stunned, and no one dared to say anything for a long time.
The thug continued, "Now, look into the camera and beg the Qinghe Group to hand over the satellites to us. Put some pressure on the Qinghe Group, and we'll get the satellites and you'll be saved. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? As for the satellite that the Qinghe Group lost, what does that have to do with you? "
The students fell silent. Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that these people clearly did not expect to get their hands on the satellites through something like this. They were just unwilling to miss any opportunity to create chaos for the Qinghe Group.
These students shouldn't be stupid. Even if they listened to the other party's words, they might not be saved. Why should they become the other party's tools?
But Ren Xiaosu was wrong. These students only stayed silent for a minute before someone cried into the video recorder, "Please give them the satellite, I don't want to die!"
After one person started speaking, many other students also started pleading.
Ren Xiaosu sighed. Actually, these students were not wrong. After all, who did not want to live? It was just that the people from the Qinghe Group would be a little disappointed. These were the university students they had trained.
In comparison, Xu Zhi, who he and Zhou Yingxue had encountered previously, was a little more courageous.
After the thugs finished recording the video, they left in satisfaction. Soon after, the garrison troops outside saw a thick paper bag being thrown out from behind cover by the thugs.
The garrison troops went forward to pick it up, but the thugs did not open fire.
At this moment, Old Li had also rushed over to Qinghe University. The other two places were handled by Zhang Qingxi and Qin Sheng, while the remaining Knight remained at the Qinghe Group's headquarters.
Old Li took the paper bag from the soldier and made him move away from him before opening it layer by layer. When he saw there was a videotape inside, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"There must be playback equipment in the school. Hurry up and find it." Old Li said, "I wonder what those thugs are up to. Why would they throw a videotape out at a time like this?"
While waiting for the equipment, Old Li kept looking around for Ren Xiaosu. However, he could not find Ren Xiaosu at all.
"That's strange. Didn't Qin Sheng come to class every day?" Old Li was a little puzzled. Ren Xiaosu couldn't have really run away, right? That didn't seem like Ren Xiaosu's character either.
Two minutes later, the garrison troops found the classroom where the equipment was set up. Old Li and the garrison troops' commanding officer quickly rushed over and played the videotape into the equipment.
Soon after, Old Li saw the students in the videotape sobbing and begging the Qinghe Group to hand over the satellites to save them. Old Li and the garrison troops' commanding officer had mixed feelings.
"They're still children, so it's normal for them to beg for survival." Old Li also sighed.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up and shouted, "No, play it backwards!"
The soldier in charge of playing the video was a little puzzled by Old Li's reaction, but he still did as he was told.
When the video rewound to the 1 minute and 31 seconds mark, Old Li shouted for it to stop!
Old Li looked at the image on TV and muttered, "We're done for!"
The garrison troops' commanding officer wondered, "Sir, our rescue plan hasn't even started yet, so why do you say it's over? Please believe in us, we'll definitely complete the rescue mission! Ever since the day I joined the army, it has been my responsibility to protect the people of Luoyang City — "
Old Li interrupted, "I'm not saying that we're done for. I'm saying that these thugs are done for!"
The commanding officer was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
Weren't they just worried that the thugs would kill the hostages? Why did the other party suddenly perish?
The garrison troops' commanding officer stared at the TV, but he could not figure out what clues were hidden in the footage.
Old Li looked up and stared at the paused image on the screen. He saw Ren Xiaosu hiding in the crowd with only half his face exposed.
If he did not look closely, he would not have noticed Ren Xiaosu. However, Old Li's mind was on looking for Ren Xiaosu at this moment, so he noticed something amiss in the video.
He thought that these thugs must have been quite unlucky to have managed to kidnap Ren Xiaosu.
Old Li turned around and walked out of the classroom. He said to the garrison troops' commanding officer, "I'm heading to the other location of the kidnapping. Let me know when it's over here. I won't waste any more time here. Calm the students down. If any parents come over to cause trouble, tell them that their children will be saved very soon."
