Chapter 292 — Guan Xin Taken Hostage

"Boss, shall we go out and take a look?" Kang Xiaobo was curious, for a standoff between police and criminals was rarely seen in ordinary life.

"Go ahead and look if you want." Wei Zhao did not much care, turning to Tang Yun: "Are you coming?"

"Well..." Tang Yun was a little frightened, yet also a little curious.

"You still want to go and watch?" Liu Xinwen was astonished. She had kindly come back to tell them not to go out, yet they were actually asking to go and watch the excitement.

"With the police in front, there should not be any danger, right?" Kang Xiaobo said as he got up and walked outside.

Sure enough, when the door opened, the corridor was already packed with onlookers, some in hospital gowns and others passing doctors and nurses. At the far end of the corridor, the police had cordoned off the area and would not let the crowd go any further.

Qiu Lingshan hurried toward the hospital at a half-run, with Liu Wangli at her side reporting the details to her as they walked.

"The nurse taken hostage is named Guan Xin, twenty years old, just graduated this year. She went to change Liu Bojia's dressing and happened to see Huang Guanya attacking Liu Bojia, so she was seized as a hostage..." Liu Wangli said as they walked.

"What? Guan Xin?" Wei Zhao had just stepped out of the ward and ran straight into Qiu Lingshan. Hearing Liu Wangli mention Guan Xin's name, he started in shock.

"Wei Zhao? What are you doing here?" Qiu Lingshan was also taken aback to see Wei Zhao in the hospital, never expecting him to be here.

At Wei Zhao's concern for Guan Xin, Tang Yun felt a faint pang of jealousy, but she said nothing, for her own heart had tightened too when she heard that the hostage was Guan Xin. Though she still felt a vague hostility toward Guan Xin, it was undeniable that through their contact over this time the two had become friends. No matter what, now that something had happened to Guan Xin, Tang Yun was worried.

Wei Zhao did not answer Qiu Lingshan, but looked at Liu Wangli: "Brother Liu, you say the hostage is Guan Xin?"

"What, you know her?" Liu Wangli was already very familiar with Wei Zhao, having just driven him and Shark home the day before yesterday.

"Yes, a friend of mine." Wei Zhao nodded: "Can I go over and have a look?"

Qiu Lingshan frowned, but said nothing. Wei Zhao was quite skilled, at least capable of protecting himself, and if he knew the hostage, there might be a turn for the better.

Huang Guanya knew her. If she made a move herself, Huang Guanya would certainly be on guard, yet in the whole team there was no one better than her except Yang Huaijun!

If someone had to get close to Huang Guanya, Wei Zhao might be an excellent choice.

But honestly, Qiu Lingshan did not want Wei Zhao's help. For one thing she doubted his ability, and for another, if this fellow really helped her again, he would only press her all the harder in the future to do his dirty errands...

"Spare me that useless talk." Huang Guanya looked with contempt at the negotiator in front of him: "Get me five hundred thousand in cash and a helicopter with a full tank, or I will kill this chick!"

Huang Guanya licked his lips, a vicious glint in his eyes, and pressed the knife held to Guan Xin's neck a little tighter. A thin line of blood had already appeared on her neck...

The negotiator was sweating all over. He had not expected Huang Guanya to respond to neither reason nor threats. Not a word he said got through, and instead the man began telling him in detail how he had stuffed a three-year-old boy into a washing machine and churned him to death...

"Fine, I agree!" Qiu Lingshan's voice rang out: "But you must guarantee the hostage's safety!"

Qiu Lingshan had no other choice at the moment but to stall the criminal first. If Huang Guanya harmed the hostage, she as captain of the criminal team would bear heavy responsibility! She was still only acting captain, and she would likely never be confirmed in the post, and might even be demoted!

"Don't come any closer!" Huang Guanya saw Qiu Lingshan, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes. He was a little afraid of this woman. He was no match for her, and letting her get close would put him in great danger!

"All right, I will not come over." Qiu Lingshan frowned slightly. She had meant to approach without anyone noticing and then suddenly subdue Huang Guanya, but Huang Guanya seemed clever enough to know how good she was and gave her no chance at all.

"Tell your men to put down their guns and back off." Huang Guanya said.

"Fine, lower your guns..." Qiu Lingshan waved to her men behind her.

In this situation she could only play it safe. Without certainty of killing Huang Guanya with a single shot, they could not risk opening fire.

"Bring me something to eat, I am hungry!" Huang Guanya said: "Do not dream of tampering with the food, I will make this chick eat first! Call right now and have the hospital canteen send boxed meals straight here, no tricks!"

"Fine, I agree!" Qiu Lingshan nodded, though her mind was racing for a plan. When she first heard Huang Guanya ask for food, she had been pleased, thinking they could tamper with it, but she had not expected the fellow to be so shrewd. He wanted her to call the hospital for food right in front of him, so it would be hard to pull anything off in such short time.

"Do not worry about me, shoot him! The patient in the ward was stabbed by him, and without emergency treatment he will be in mortal danger!" Guan Xin suddenly shouted.

Qiu Lingshan froze, only then remembering that Liu Bojia was still in the ward! Her face turned ugly at once. She had been so focused on dealing with Huang Guanya that she had forgotten all about Liu Bojia.

"Damn it! Bitch, do you have a death wish? I will rape you first, then cut your flesh off piece by piece!" Huang Guanya had not expected this little nurse to dare defy him, and he was furious. He forced the knife against Guan Xin's neck and pressed hard, and beads of blood could be seen seeping from her neck...

"Do not act rashly! Do you no longer want what we just agreed to?" Qiu Lingshan immediately shouted to stop Huang Guanya...

Just now had indeed been a good chance. If she had ordered her men to fire regardless of casualties, they might have killed Huang Guanya, but Qiu Lingshan dared not take the risk! She really dared not, she could not afford another single mishap.

"Hmph, stop threatening me!" Huang Guanya curled his lip and said with disdain.

Just then the boxed meals from the hospital canteen arrived, brought by a young errand boy from the canteen, but at the sight of this scene he jumped in fright, dared not come any closer, and turned to run...
