Zeng Jing picked up his mobile phone and called the leader outside. The call was connected to the director Liao Wenhao. Zeng Jing told him all the robbers' demands. Liao Wenhao frowned when he heard the robbers' demands. There were a lot of leaders with higher ranks than him. Obviously, it was not his turn to make the decision.
After asking Zeng Jing to wait for the news, Liao Wenhao hung up the phone and looked at the provincial and municipal leaders. The robbers have asked us to evacuate all the hostages and prepare a car and five million in cash.
The car and money are easy, but what about the hostages? If we agree to their demands, will they release the hostages? Chen Xing questioned.
He didn't say anything about this. Liao Wenhao shook his head and said immediately, I'll call Zeng Jing and ask.
Liao Wenhao said and called Zeng Jing. Zeng Jing, ask them if they will release the hostages if we agree to their demands.
Zeng Jing didn't hang up the phone. He looked at the two robbers in the classroom and shouted, "If we agree to your demands, will you release the hostages?"
Do you think we are fools? If we release the hostages, can we still walk out? We won't be alive to spend the money. " Zhao Rongxuan said.
"You won't release the hostages and ask us to agree to your demands. Do you think it's possible?" Zeng Jing stared at the two. "Your purpose is to escape. Do you think you can escape with so many hostages?"
While Zeng Jing was speaking, Zhao Rongxuan and Sun Qiang looked at each other in confusion. They had thought that they could escape after taking the hostages, but after hearing Zeng Jing's words, they felt that it made sense. If they really took more than 80 hostages, they would be a burden. Not only would they not be able to escape, but they would also be dragging a bunch of burdens along with them.
It had to be said that the two of them were not very smart. They dared to rob a bank without even thinking of a way out. However, anyone with a little brain would not do such a thing. Everyone knew that they were gambling with their lives, and the possibility of success was very small.
Zeng Jing saw that the two of them were silent and said, "I'll be your hostage in exchange for the students in your hands. How about that?"
You? Zhao Rongxuan and Sun Qiang both turned to look at Zeng Jing.
That's right. Wouldn't it be easier for you to escape if you only had one hostage?
Eh, that's true. Sun Qiang nodded in a daze. Zhao Rongxuan, who was at the side, slapped him on the back of the head. Qiang Zi, are you stupid? There's only one hostage. If the police outside use force, we'll be finished. "Sun Qiang nodded.
You can rest assured that I am the Deputy Chief of the Public Security Bureau. If I am your hostage, the police will definitely not do anything.
You are the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau? Zhao Rongxuan's eyes widened as he looked at Zeng Jing from left to right. It was obvious that he did not expect that this extremely charming and beautiful woman was actually the police chief.
That's right, she's the real deal. Zeng Jing stared at the two of them calmly and said solemnly.
On the other side, Zeng Jing was negotiating with the two robbers, trying to exchange himself for more than eighty students as hostages. At the school gate, because Zeng Jing's phone was still on, Liao Wenhao had specially turned the phone into hands-free mode so that Chen Xing and the other provincial and municipal leaders could clearly hear the conversation between Zeng Jing and the robbers. At this moment, Chen Xing and the others could clearly hear the conversation between Zeng Jing and the robbers. Hearing that Zeng Jing actually offered to be a hostage, Chen Xing's heart sank. He thought to himself that Zeng Jing was really muddle-headed. How could he put himself in such a dangerous situation?
Chen Xing was secretly anxious, but he could not show it on his face. From the perspective of a friend, he was anxious for Zeng Jing. However, if he put aside the emotional factors and thought calmly, Chen Xing also had to admit that if Zeng Jing's proposal could be accepted by the robbers, it would indeed be the best result. At least one hostage would be exchanged for the safety of more than eighty students and two teachers. This was a calculation that anyone could understand.
Apart from Chen Xing's worry for Zeng Jing, Du Guangyao and the others were also in disbelief. As a woman, Zeng Jing's courage and boldness were admirable. Du Guangyao, who didn't know much about Zeng Jing, was full of praise. "This woman is really amazing. Old Tan, I really admire your police force for having such an outstanding officer."
Du Guangyao's words were directed at Tan Zeyu, the deputy governor and the director of the Provincial Department. Tan Zeyu, who also didn't know much about Zeng Jing, could only echo Du Guangyao's words. Although Zeng Jing was a member of the Municipal Bureau, Zeng Jing's performance also made him, the director of the Provincial Department, proud. He asked Liao Wenhao, "Director Liao, which branch's deputy director is this woman?"
"Ahem, she's the deputy director of the Jiangfeng Branch." Liao Wenhao looked a little embarrassed. He stole a glance at Lin Gang. At this moment, he didn't dare to say that Zeng Jing was no longer a deputy director. Knowing the inside story, he felt very guilty.
While they were talking, they were actually waiting for the robbers' response. If the robbers agreed to Zeng Jing's request, the impact and loss of today's major accident could be reduced to the lowest level. Some people even thought that it would be a good ending if Zeng Jing could be sacrificed to save all the hostages. After all, if Zeng Jing died, with Zeng Jing's identity, they could apply for the title of a martyr for him. At that time, the media would make a big deal out of it, saying that the public security department of the government was a good leader, and the brave policewoman stepped forward to save a huge crisis. It would turn the negative public opinion into a positive one. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Everyone was waiting for the robbers' response. At this moment, Zhao Rongxuan and Sun Qiang were also discussing. The two were not very smart, but they were obviously very tempted by Zeng Jing's proposal. After a short discussion, Sun Qiang said impatiently, "Brother Zhao, I think we should agree. Tie up the girl outside and let's get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, we can't afford to stay here any longer."
"The point is that one hostage is not enough. What if the police outside turn against us and exchange the girl's life for two of ours? That would be a great loss for us." Zhao Rongxuan twitched his mouth.
"Brother Zhao, what should we do? We can't run away with over 80 primary school students, can we? Can we? These hostages, to put it nicely, are our protective talismans. But if we want to run away, they will really become a burden. We can't kill them all. " Sun Qiang looked impatient.
Zhao Rongxuan frowned and thought hard. He looked at Zeng Jing from time to time. When he thought of Zeng Jing's words, Zhao Rongxuan's eyes lit up. "I got it."
As soon as Zhao Rongxuan's voice fell, he immediately shouted, "It's not that we can't agree to your conditions, but we have to add one more condition. Apart from you, we have to have another hostage, and it must be a high-ranking official. Oh right, don't even think about deceiving us. Now that the internet is so advanced, you can just report the identity of the hostage to us and we can verify it. If you dare to deceive us, we will kill one student.
As long as you agree to our conditions, we will keep our promise and release these students immediately. " Sun Qiang added.
At the school gate, a group of leaders looked at each other, especially the leaders of the province and city. Each of them looked a little unnatural. When it came to high-ranking officials, it was obvious that they were the ones with the highest positions. Moreover, the words of the robbers were shouted loudly through a hands-free mobile phone. Many people at the scene heard them. If they all acted like cowards, not only would they lose face, but they would also be criticized by others if this matter was spread out.
