Han Xi’s hands, hanging at her sides, were sweating from fear. She bit her lip and looked up to meet the robber’s gaze: "I’m a doctor. If he doesn’t immediately receive blood stopping treatment, his life might be at risk. I have a medicine kit in my car’s trunk, can I..."
"Shut up, you obviously just want to escape."
The gun’s barrel moved an inch closer to Han Xi’s head, her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
Han Xi glanced at the man lying on the ground and continued speaking fearfully: "If he dies, you won’t just be robbers. I only want to save him, not escape. Or you could have one of your men bring the medicine kit from my car."
Beside her, Li Manman was almost internally cursing Han Xi to death; this girl was simply reckless.
"There’s a medicine kit here."
A staff member from an unknown counter quietly piped up.
Han Xi looked at the robber: "Can I save him now?"
"Go ahead, but if you dare play tricks, I’ll blow your head off with a bullet."
The robber followed behind Han Xi step by step, pointing the gun at her head, her terrified steps faltering.
Having taken the medicine kit, Han Xi walked to the injured man, knelt down, carefully lifted his clothes: "Bear with it."
The man weakly nodded, his pale face showing no sign of color.
Han Xi took out hemostatic medicine and bandages from the kit, deftly stopping his bleeding. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Meanwhile, armed police units had already arrived outside the mall, along with news reporters conducting live broadcasts.
"Listen up, you inside, you are already surrounded. Release the hostages, and we will consider leniency."
Armed police stood before the police cars, speaking loudly into a megaphone while others discussed how to rescue those inside the mall.
Simultaneously, the reporters were conducting live broadcasts, cameras switching through the glass doors to show the situation inside the mall.
The scene of Han Xi being held at gunpoint and treating a wound on her knees was instantly broadcasted on television.
Lu Jinghan, handling paperwork in the office, looked up at Feng Yi who burst in unexpectedly: "What’s happening?"
"Little Sister-in-law... quick, watch TV."
Feng Yi picked up the remote on the desk and turned on the TV, showing the live broadcast from the mall.
Lu Jinghan’s face instantly turned solemn, grabbing his coat from the chair and rushing out: "How many robbers are there?"
"Four." Feng Yi followed closely behind into the elevator.
"Call Fu Bin, tell him to get to the scene immediately."
Lu Jinghan drove his car to two hundred miles per hour, unable to get the image of Han Xi at gunpoint out of his mind.
When they arrived at the scene, the armed police had already evacuated all the customer flow from other floors of the mall.
"What’s the situation? Are the kidnappers willing to release the hostages?"
Lu Jinghan’s dark eyes fixated on Han Xi inside without blinking, though he spoke to the armed troop leader.
"They refuse to release hostages, demanding we have a car ready within twenty minutes and completely withdraw. Otherwise, they’ll perish along with the hostages."
Inside the mall’s atrium, Han Xi too saw Lu Jinghan.
"Can they be taken out?"
"Possible, but I’m concerned it will harm the hostages."
Lu Jinghan turned, looking at the armed troop leader: "Prepare three sniper rifles for me, you stay here and negotiate with the robbers, keep their attention."
