Chapter 84: Changing the hostage wouldn't have resulted in a death sentence!
"How would I know! Damn it! I didn't check the almanac before I went out today, what the worst luck I've ever had!" The tall man was also very anxious after hearing the skinny man's words!
"What do we do next?" Knowing that rushing things wouldn't solve anything, the skinny man tried to calm himself before asking again.
“Take one of the hostages with you, Fatty, you take the money. We’ll talk to the police in a bit.” The tall man, being the leader, quickly came to his senses and devised a plan.
Our immediate priority is to escape from here.
Upon hearing the tall man's instructions, the skinny man glanced at the crowd and then walked straight towards Jiang Chengcheng!
Well! The fat guy wanted to take me hostage just now, and now this skinny guy is doing the same. I really do have a perfect "luck score"!
"You! Stand up!" The skinny man pointed at Jiang Chengcheng, his tone rather impatient.
Upon hearing the man's command, Jiang Chengcheng secretly pursed her lips and stood up with a helpless expression.
A moment later, the robbers moved Jiang Chengcheng outside the door.
"Everyone back 100 meters! Or I'll kill her!" Due to excessive tension, the skinny man's gun had already left a mark on Jiang Chengcheng's head.
"Put down the hostage now, and we can treat you leniently! Don't be so stubborn!" When Lin Xingyun, the leader, saw that the hostage was Jiang Chengcheng, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was afraid that the man might accidentally fire a gun and hurt Jiang Chengcheng.
"Hmph! Enough nonsense! Get back now! Or I'll kill her!" The tall man was pleased with himself for the terrified looks on everyone's faces, thinking his idea was brilliant.
The group exchanged glances but refused to act. After all, they were close by now, so any unexpected situation would be easy to handle. But if they were too far away, there wouldn't even be enough time to rescue them!
"What? If you don't back down, I'm going to shoot!" Seeing that the crowd didn't move as he said, the man tightened his grip on the gun.
"Don't get agitated! Let's retreat." Seeing that the robbers seemed to be provoked, retreating was no longer an option!
Fearing something might happen to Jiang Chengcheng, Lin Xingyun immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
Seeing that the robbers' eyes were all focused on the police, Jiang Chengcheng seized the opportunity and used a back throw to snatch the gun from the man's hand.
The two people next to her were shocked when they saw this scene and hurriedly raised their hands to shoot Jiang Chengcheng, but Jiang Chengcheng would not give them the chance!
She rushed to the two men with lightning speed and then disarmed them with her bare hands. Two crisp "crack" sounds of bones were heard, and a few moments later, a series of shrill screams filled the area around the sports lottery center!
As everyone watched Jiang Chengcheng break free of control, fearing something might happen to her, dozens of people rushed towards the robbers to subdue them, while the rest of the men loaded their guns and aimed them at the three of them!
If the other party makes any further unusual moves, kill them on the spot!
These operational instructions may seem overly strict to ordinary people, but they are the basic principles for protecting S-class personnel!
The lives of those in S-class files are the top priority!
The tall man, who had originally intended to get up and fight back, didn't dare to move an inch after seeing this!
He was subdued by the officers who rushed up first. His left cheek was pressed tightly against the ground and his hands were tied behind his back. He couldn't move an inch!
The tall man still couldn't understand how he could mobilize so many people in such a short time when he had only robbed a lottery center and the total amount was less than one million!
This question had been lingering in his mind and troubling him until he was taken to the interrogation room, where the tall man finally understood the truth with a bewildered expression!
It turns out that the crimes he committed were even more serious than robbery: kidnapping and holding an S-class person hostage!
In other words, if he had chosen someone else as a hostage, it wouldn't have resulted in the death penalty!
But he just happened to pick the most valuable one out of the crowd!
Knowing the truth, the robbers were filled with remorse until they were executed!
The appellants, unaware of Jiang Chengcheng's identity, even harbored resentment towards her after the appeal was rejected: "You're so awesome, you should buy a lottery ticket!"
Of course, this is all for later.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng escaped the clutches of the robbers, before she could even react, she was shielded behind a group of special forces soldiers wearing riot shields.
"Are you alright?" Lin Xingyun and Dong Kefeng quickly stepped forward to inquire about Jiang Chengcheng's condition.
Lin Xingyun was concerned about Jiang Chengcheng, while Dong Kefeng was concerned about his career.
If Jiang Chengcheng were to really get into trouble with him, he could already foresee his own future!
It's also his fault for not having been in W city for very long. He hadn't even figured out the internal affairs, so how could he have time to investigate external matters!
This is probably what happens when you're really unlucky; even drinking water can cause problems!
"It's okay." Jiang Chengcheng shook her head. It's impossible not to be afraid when she was being held hostage with a gun pointed at her head!
In those few short seconds, she thought of many people and many things, wondering if her family would be sad if she really died, if Sirius would think she had broken her promise, and if the system would also disappear because she hadn't completed the task. All of these things seemed like a final burst of energy before her death.
"I'm sorry, host, I didn't know that card would have such a serious bug." Perhaps not expecting Jiang Chengcheng to be in such a trap, the system also felt guilty and directly told the truth.
His previous act of sending Jiang Chengcheng back to the past had damaged the time black hole. Because of the need to repair the damage and the energy consumption of his body, the lucky card actually had a bug, which is like it was infected with a computer virus.
However, because he was concerned about his image and refused to admit the bug, thinking it wasn't a big deal, he chose to keep it a secret.
Now that this has happened, the system is somewhat ashamed to face Jiang Chengcheng.
"A bug? Oh, I knew it! I knew it! This isn't a lucky card! It's practically the ultimate unlucky card!" Jiang Chengcheng finally understood the card's strangeness, and after complaining, she looked at the system's extremely apologetic expression and said, "Oh! It's not a big deal, I'm perfectly fine!"
Jiang Chengcheng didn't criticize the system too much. After all, she was lucky enough that the system had given her a second chance at life, no matter what the reason was.
People should know how to be content and be grateful. This is a wise saying that Jiang Chengcheng has known since she was a child.
After comforting the system, Jiang Chengcheng was temporarily placed aside, and then the other hostages were brought out one after another.
