658: Chapter 654 Zhao Lina Taken as Hostage 658: Chapter 654 Zhao Lina Taken as Hostage “Just you, get your ass over here, now!” the robber barked at Zhao Lina.
Seeing the robber willing to take her as a hostage, Zhao Lina continued to walk toward the bank entrance, hands raised.
Halfway there, the robber suddenly shouted, “Stop!
Zhao Lina had no choice but to stop.
Go back, cuff your hands behind your back with your own handcuffs!
Then come here!” the robber commanded.
Zhao Lina frowned slightly, and the robber immediately yelled, “Do it, or I swear I’ll kill her first!”
As he shouted, he prodded the temple of another hostage with his homemade gun, causing the hostage to scream non-stop.
“Don’t hurt the hostages, I’ll go back and cuff my hands,” Zhao Lina called out hastily.
Then she turned around and went to Ye Fan, saying, “Cuff my hands.”
But Ye Fan shook his head and said, “No, this is too dangerous.”
If Zhao Lina’s hands weren’t cuffed, he could still somewhat accept it.
After all, compared to ordinary people, Zhao Lina was quite skilled.
Although the robbers had guns, Zhao Lina still had the power to resist.
But if her hands were cuffed behind her back, then she would be completely at the robbers’ mercy.
“Cuff me!” Zhao Lina commanded sternly, then she turned her back and held her hands out for Ye Fan to cuff her.
Ye Fan would not personally deliver Zhao Lina into the tiger’s den.
He called out to the robbers, “What kind of hero takes a woman as a hostage?
I’ll put on the handcuffs and be your hostage!”
I want her as the hostage!
Keep yapping, and I’ll blow one away to show you!
Anyway, I’ve got thirty or forty hostages in here!” the robber cursed and fired a shot into the sky.
“Bang!” A gunshot rang out, and the scene erupted into panic-stricken screams.
The female hostage the robber had been holding was so scared she wet herself.
“You don’t need to freak out, I’m coming right now!” Zhao Lina called urgently.
Then she turned to Ye Fan and barked, “Hurry up!”
Ye Fan pursed his lips, refusing to move.
Seeing that Ye Fan still wouldn’t do it, Zhao Lina took two or three steps to the left, to Fan Feipeng, and ordered, “Captain Fan, help me with the handcuffs!”
“This…” Fan Feipeng hesitated, knowing it was very dangerous for Zhao Lina to be handcuffed as a hostage.
However, after another urgent prompt from Zhao Lina, he handcuffed her hands behind her back.
Having been cuffed, she walked slowly towards the bank entrance, urged on by the impatient robber.
Soon, Zhao Lina reached the bank door, and the robber immediately dropped the female hostage he had previously held, rudely grabbed Zhao Lina by the collar, dragged her over, and pressed the homemade gun against the back of her head.
Ye Fan, seeing this, widened his eyes with rage and turned to kick Fan Feipeng away with a fierce blow.
Fan Feipeng let out a scream, collapsing onto a group of people next to him, but he dared not say anything.
The robber, now holding Zhao Lina hostage, retreated to the lobby and turned to his accomplice, shouting, “Pick out two hostages for the road, get women, and make sure they’re young and pretty!”
The other accomplices responded with a shout, uttering viciously, “All you women, TMD, lift your heads for me, anyone who doesn’t will get blown away immediately!”
Move it, all of you, move it!”
Women crouched in the corner immediately erupted in crying, but under the robber’s intimidation, they quickly stopped their crying and shakily lifted their faces in fear.
As these women lifted their faces, the robbers’ eyes suddenly gleamed, and they couldn’t help exclaiming, “MD, damn, what beautiful dames!”
Amidst their shouting, one of the robbers who was nearby rushed forward and dragged Shangguan Wuqiu out.
Shangguan Wuqiu, tears streaming down her face, although extremely scared, still struggled to remain calm.
She had no idea what sins she had committed in her life.
Usually, she kept to herself and rarely showed her face in public.
Today, because she needed money from the bank, she had the misfortune of running into a bank robbery—a situation many people would not encounter in their entire lives.
Not only that, but she was also chosen by the robbers as a hostage.
“Haha, boss, this broad is even prettier than the policewoman you’ve got!” the robber who captured Shangguan Wuqiu as a hostage joyfully called out to the one who was holding Zhao Lina.
The leader of the robbers glanced at Shangguan Wuqiu and laughed proudly, “Haha, beautiful!
I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman, she makes movie stars look plain!”
The other robbers also laughed loudly, their laughter laden with a different meaning.
Although it was their first time robbing a bank, as the police began satisfying their demands step by step, their heads grew hot with adrenaline, and they no longer felt fear or nervousness, becoming reckless.
Seven or eight minutes later, the robbers successfully tossed large cloth bags stuffed with stacks of cash into a seven-seater business car, then took hostages including Zhao Lina, Shangguan Wuqiu, and two other women into the vehicle.
Just before getting into the car, the leader of the robbers suddenly fired a gun, killing the female hostage who was lying limp at the entrance of the bank.
A wave of terrified screams immediately rose from the scene.
“Listen up, all of you, if I so much as suspect anyone is following us in a car, or intercepting us halfway, I’ll immediately shoot the hostages!” the leader of the robbers barked ferociously.
Then, he fired another shot at the unlucky hostage, sending beads of blood spattering.
Ye Fan quickly picked up the loudspeaker and called out, “Rest assured, we will not have anyone follow behind, nor intercept you halfway!
Please remain calm and don’t hurt the innocent any further.”
After speaking, Ye Fan turned his head to the riot police commander Gao Xiaoming and said, “Commander Gao, notify the brothers in ambush at the roadblocks to withdraw.”
“But…” Gao Xiaoming couldn’t help exclaiming.
Ye Fan waved his hand, “These robbers are vicious and ruthless; they have already killed someone after shedding blood.
If we don’t do as they say, they won’t hesitate to kill the hostages.”
Gao Xiaoming also understood and, with a sigh, used his walkie-talkie to order the police ambushed at various roadblocks to withdraw.
“We’ve already ordered everyone to withdraw.
There will be no one lying in ambush, you can hit the road with confidence!” Ye Fan shouted through the loudspeaker to the robbers.
Finally, the robber boss took Zhao Lina to the car, then the business vehicle started up, quickly hitting the road.
Ye Fan immediately handed the loudspeaker back to Gao Xiaoming and said urgently, “Commander Gao, you maintain order here.
I’m going to rescue the hostages.
Don’t send anyone to follow!”
After speaking quickly, Ye Fan turned around and didn’t care about knocking people over as he rushed out of the crowd and towards another street at great speed.
He had already mastered the map of traffic and buildings in Mingde County inside and out; as soon as the robbers’ car started, he had immediately judged the direction and the inevitable routes through which the robbers would flee.
How could he possibly stand by and watch as Zhao Lina fell into the hands of these vicious and brutal robbers?
