Some people wanted to back away.
Zhang Haitao was the first.
"Quick, retreat quickly."
The crowd covered the dean as they were about to leave
The criminal sneered.
"Nobody move, or I'll detonate. I guarantee no one in this building will survive."
Everyone immediately collapsed to the ground.
Yes, running was futile.
Now, the situation had escalated severely.
"Brother, let's talk this out, we can talk, whatever you need, we will fulfill."
Zhang Haitao stammered.
Luo Ya, held at knifepoint by the criminal, trembled and cried incessantly.
Just then, a loud shout came from the end of the corridor.
A policewoman charged forward,
her pistol aimed at the criminal.
She was followed by a group of colleagues.
It was Li Jing, the policewoman who had tried to take Su Fan away last time.
Su Fan kindly stopped Li Jing.
"Kid, don't get in the way."
Li Jing had not forgotten Su Fan's defiance last time, which had infuriated her.
She exploded immediately.
"It's a police operation. If you hinder us, I'll shoot you too."
Su Fan shook his head in despair.
"I'm trying to save you."
But he still stepped aside.
Li Jing led her team with a ferocious momentum toward the criminal.
But when they reached the criminal, they were stunned.
The policemen all froze on the spot.
"Boss, what do we do?"
It was only then that they saw the detonators and high explosives strapped to the criminal.
Their hearts sank to the bottom.
At this moment, they finally understood why Su Fan had stopped them; he was trying to save them.
Regret filled their hearts.
Li Jing swallowed and forcefully shouted at the criminal.
"You've already committed a grave crime. Put down your weapons now and aim for leniency."
"Otherwise I will shoot."
The man laughed wildly.
"I've already gone this far, why would I be afraid of dying? You better aim well when you shoot, otherwise, you all will have to die with me."
"My mom is about to die, there's no point in me living anymore, go ahead, shoot."
The man roared in anger and insanity.
Li Jing found herself unable to utter a word.
Clearly, this man was determined to die. Covered in detonators and gunpowder, Li Jing dared not shoot.
Even snipers would have to be cautious, and when they came, they had not anticipated the criminal being this dangerous; they hadn't even called for backup, and now they had no chance to communicate.
"It's completely over."
Everyone was utterly hopeless; everyone was waiting for death.
The air suddenly quieted.
"I think, maybe, we can talk."
Suddenly, a voice broke the oppressive silence.
He walked toward the criminal.
"Kid, don't come any closer, or I'll detonate."
"First, let go of the girl in your hand, I will be your hostage,"
"What, is this kid crazy?"
People were startled.
Everyone was hiding far away, all afraid to die.
Su Fan was actually offering himself?
"At a time , still trying to show off, the youth of today are too impetuous,"
Dean Zhang Haitao, feeling slighted, spoke in discontent.
And those around him didn't forget to flatter until the end.
"Dean Zhang is right, this kid is just a troublemaker."
"He'll be the first to die."
Bai Man admonished Su Fan.
But Su Fan once again defied Bai Man's order.
He walked step by step toward the criminal.
