"Chief, when can we break through?"
"Sniper, in position?" The chief was very anxious. However, no matter how anxious he was, he had to wait for an opportunity. Now was not the best time to try to save anyone.
"The sniper is looking for the best sniping position. This Tang Yan, he must be holding on for me!" The chief was so excited that he almost jumped up. This was his beloved general!
..
At this moment, it was 12:20 p. m.
Mu Qiqi waited for Sheng Xiao for most of the night, but she still did not see him come home.
Downstairs, Mama Sheng was still watching TV. She was usually asleep at this time, but today, she was still eating melon seeds downstairs. This made Mu Qiqi even more certain that something must have happened.
"Qiqi, why are you up?" Mama Sheng turned her head and looked at her as she asked. She immediately brought her a blanket.
"Mommy, just tell me what happened."
Mu Qiqi asked Mama Sheng directly. Master Xiao never came home so late. Even if Secretary He needed him, he wouldn't let him go so late.
In addition, she hadn't been able to contact Feng Shanshan through the phone, which made her even more confused.
Mama Sheng knew that she was smart and couldn't hide it anymore, so she helped her sit on the sofa and said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me to face it rationally."
"Mommy, don't think of me as someone so fragile."
Mama Sheng deliberated for a moment before she slowly said, "I'm not afraid that you're fragile, I'm just afraid of you getting worried that Feng Shanshan has gone missing."
After hearing the last few words, Mu Qiqi felt a chill spread from her heart to her limbs.
"Eighth Brother and the people from the police station are still trying their best. So, be good at home and don't distract him. You know that he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business."
"I know. He did it all for me." Mu Qiqi nodded. In order not to worry her, in order not to let her imagination run wild, and in order to make her not lose her friends, Sheng Xiao had to be involved in these cases.
"Don't worry. I won't run out on my own, but I definitely won't be able to sleep either. Mommy, you don't have to worry about me. I'll wait for him to come back, here in the living room."
"I'll stay with you." Mama Sheng smiled at her. At this moment, she needed her family to stay by her side and care for her.
Mu Qiqi's heart ached at the thought of Feng Shanshan's disappearance."Mommy, it's so good to have you two around."
..
It was 12:29 pm.
Cheng Bin had his two subordinates help Tang Yan up and return the dagger to him.
Of course, Tang Yan wasn't willing to make a move, but Cheng Bin pointed his gun at the pregnant woman's head."If you don't make a move, I will. Your choice. I'll give you ten seconds."
"Tang Yan, you have to be clear. If I make a move, there will be a few holes on this pregnant woman's head. I can't guarantee that I will be able to shoot through her stomach."
Tang Yan staggered to the front of the pregnant woman. His hands had already been untied. The blood on his body dripped down along the dagger, and the ground gradually turned red.
"Ten..."
"Nine..."
"Eight..."
Time passed second by second. Cheng Bin loaded the gun in his hand.
Tang Yan tried his best to open his swollen eyes. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll do it."
"If you had admitted defeat earlier, you wouldn't have wasted so much time." Cheng Bin put down the gun and gestured with his chin. Tang Yan made his move.
Tang Yan's feet were tied and he couldn't move at all.
Cheng Bin wanted to watch Tang Yan kill with his own hands. He wanted to watch the police kill.
However, there were only a few seconds left before the thirty minutes was up. Tang Yan closed his eyes and finally raised the dagger toward the pregnant woman. However, as the tip of the dagger fell, he fell to the ground because his center of gravity was unstable.
"Don't play tricks on me!" Cheng Bin kicked Tang Yan again.
Tang Yan took the opportunity to pick up the dagger. He raised his hand and the dagger fell, directly cutting Cheng Bin's right Achilles tendon.
Cheng Bin let out a miserable cry. He covered his foot and howled loudly. Taking it as the signal, the sniper immediately saw the opportunity. Through the broken glass window, he aimed at Cheng Bin and shot him directly in the head.
When Cheng Bin's two subordinates saw this, they were so scared that their legs went weak. They ran away in a panic. However, the police were already in control because the two were not alert when Cheng Bin was torturing Tang Yan.
Neither of the two subordinates managed to escape.
Tang Yan was on the ground, covered in blood. However, he still took a black hood to cover Cheng Bin after he died. He did not want this innocent pregnant woman to have trauma.
Immediately after that, the police officers rushed in. After confirming that Cheng Bin was dead, they carefully removed the bomb and destroyed it.
Old Cheng and Officer Long immediately went to Tang Yan."Captain Tang, are you okay?"
He was covered in blood. How could he possibly be okay?
"Tang Yan?" The chief also showed a face full of concern.
"I can still hold on."
After saying that while looking at the chief and Sheng Xiao, Tang Yan fainted..
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and send him to the hospital." The chief immediately ordered Old Cheng.
Seeing this mess, the chief sighed."At least there's no big mess. CEO Sheng, you know Tang Yan well. It's too late today. CEO Sheng, go home and rest."
"As for Tang Yan..."
"Don't worry. I'll make sure everything is done. This is my left arm. Can I break it myself?"
After seeing the bloodstains on the ground, Sheng Xiao returned to the car. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows and instructed Xu Che, "Start the car and go home."
"Young Madam already knows."
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He merely took a deep breath. Even if he went home now, he would still have an explanation to give.
At one o'clock in the morning, Sheng Xiao finally returned home, worn out from travel. When he saw Mu Qiqi lying on the sofa, he gently took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack.
Mu Qiqi woke up to see Sheng Xiao and immediately stood up."How was it?"
Sheng Xiao did not answer. He unbuttoned his shirt, sat on the sofa, and pulled Mu Qiqi into his arms."Cheng Bin is dead."
"Then, Captain Tang..."
"He's in the hospital, " answered Sheng Xiao."Everything is under control. Don't worry."
"Then, Feng Shanshan... Still no news?"
"We have a clue, so you just need to stay at home and wait for news." Sheng Xiao held her shoulder and comforted her."It's one o'clock. If you don't sleep, the baby won't get its rest."
"You're tired, having been out all day. I'll go get you some water and prepare a bath."
"There's no need. I'll take a shower. You go back to the room first."
Mu Qiqi knew that even if she had a big question now, she couldn't ask too many questions, so she obediently went back to the room.
Sheng Xiao followed her and saw her lying on the bed with her eyes closed. After washing up, he laid down beside her.
Mu Qiqi was not sleeping well, so Sheng Xiao hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "It's fine now. Don't be afraid."
Cheng Bin was dead. This also meant that the risk of Tang Yan's death was over.
Next...
It was time to counterattack Jin Bo.
