The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 54 -

54: Chapter 54

54 -54

Coincidentally, just as Liu Jinde was commanding a large number of police and medical personnel at the scene, he received another phone call about a large number of hostages being seized at the Xintiandi Plaza.

Liu Jinde looked at the busy scene and couldn’t help but feel a headache building.

How could this be such a coincidence!

When Song Qian received this message, her heart was shocked.

Associating it with her previous analysis, she suddenly thought of a line of poetry: “The storm is imminent, and the building is filled with the wind!”

One after another, news came, each more critical than the last.

At first, Liu Jinde thought that sending out a squad of criminal police would be enough, but when he learned that the people inside were armed with submachine guns and were not small in scale, Liu Jinde panicked for the first time.

They had just experienced a bank robbery, and now they were under a terrorist attack.

One misstep and his position as Director could be at its end.

But how could the current police force handle both situations?

“Director, do we have the cause of the explosion?” Liu Jinde, already stressed at the scene, looked as a technician rushed over in a panic.

“What caused the explosion?”

“It’s a powerful explosive of TNT type.

There are obvious shrapnel residues at the scene, and the lethality is huge.

But as for what kind of bomb it is, the sample has already been sent back, and the results will be out soon.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinde burst into anger, “Soon?

How soon?

Tomorrow or the day after, next month, or next year?

I’m telling you, if I don’t get the results within an hour, you tech department might as well disband!”

The technician heard this and hurried off with his head low. freewebnσvel.cøm

This Director Liu was not someone you could easily provoke.

It was impossible to actually disband the tech department, but there might be consequences later; after all, getting results within an hour was impossible.

In the worst case, they would just have to send another person to report to him later.

With a “Boom!”, the ground shook again, and police cars parked outside, including private vehicles hundreds of meters away, began to sound their alarms “buzz buzz”, the noise grating.

“What’s going on!” Liu Jinde didn’t care to wipe off the crushed glass and dirt from his head; he leaped up from the ground like a madman and yelled.

You have to understand, there were medical staff inside the bank who were still investigating, gathering evidence, and rescuing the wounded.

This explosion added at least twenty more casualties!

Those were living, breathing people!

“Save…

save people!

Save them quickly!” A bomb disposal expert, charred black, was struggling to crawl out from steps covered in debris, reaching out for help.

Seeing this scene, medical personnel rushed over, and the white stretcher was immediately stained pitch black.

“Director Liu, we can’t send more people in.

The bombs inside the bank were definitely pre-planted.

The real goal of the bandits must be somewhere else!” Liu Jinde, who was frantically commanding at the scene, suddenly saw Song Qian rush over and say loudly.

Now, of course, Liu Jinde realized this, but what good did understanding do him?

According to the situation described on the phone, the action required to detain such a large number of hostages means that the bandits were well-equipped and had made careful preparations.

Even more serious was that at this moment, it was impossible to deploy enough police force to handle both situations, especially after the recent explosion which caused more casualties, leaving the police force stretched thin.

“Director Liu, give me a squad.

I’ll go personally!”

Song Qian’s words struck a chord with Liu Jinde.

“Song, what do you think?

Do you think you can rescue everyone with just a small team?

What if the hostages are harmed?

What if the criminals get provoked?

What if, like here, the building gets blown up?

And do you know who’s in there?

The convention center on the eighth floor is holding an auction, and the people in there are either rich or noble.

We can’t afford to take that risk.”

A series of question marks left Song Qian at a loss.

Although she also knew that her words were somewhat inappropriate, she didn’t expect her director to be so vehemently opposed.

The stubbornness in her bones made her unwilling to be rejected this way, “Director, are we just going to sit and wait…”

“Don’t say anymore.

Our task now is to ensure we do not provoke the criminals and to wait for aid from the provincial department.

Alright, you get back to your duties, be safe.”

Song Qian was left with words unsaid, truly angry, and she turned and left in a huff.

Liu Jinde was also anxious, but unlike Song Qian’s concern for public safety, he was worried that his every move might ruin his career.

He was of course aware of his misjudgment without Song Qian’s reminder.

He was only thinking of cleaning up the mess, but did not consider the possibility of a secondary explosion.

If the criminals had other targets, as Song Qian suggested, then the trap set here would be as big as possible.

Thinking of this, Liu Jinde broke out in a cold sweat and immediately conveyed his orders—everyone to stay put!

Withdraw to a distance beyond fifty meters!

Meanwhile, the hostage-taking incident at Xintiandi Plaza was already spreading throughout Huaizhou City.

Not only Huaizhou City, but Tianhe City, which was next door, and Beiping City, less than a two-hour train ride from the Capital, also received the news.

The leaders of the Capital were furious—how dare they rob people in broad daylight right under their noses?

Would they come to their doorstep tomorrow?

Phone calls came one after another, and every call was filled with titles that could scare people to death.

Liu Jinde’s forehead continued to sweat profusely.

He had complaints he could not voice, especially facing such high-ranking officers who he could not afford to provoke.

This couldn’t go on; years of experience in officialdom told him that you might not have achievements in a certain matter, but you have to act, to show your attitude.

Liu Jinde looked around; the chief of the criminal police was injured just now, and it was somewhat difficult to ask him to go; and honestly, at this time, it really was most suitable for Song Qian.

At least if there was a mishap, she had her father from the provincial department over her.

However, he had a good idea, but when he looked for her again, Song Qian was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the giant thirty-square-meter screen hanging on the office building in the plaza was broadcasting the situation inside the mall.

A group of brown-skinned, bearded men were holding a paper and speaking gibberish.

Perhaps afraid that others wouldn’t understand, a man in a suit holding a Desert Eagle handgun approached the camera and translated in Chinese, “We are sent by the Shakyamuni Buddha to save you foolish humans.

Believe us, and we will take you to heaven.

Those who don’t believe us…

people of Huaxia, do not try to mess with our signal.

If the frequency of the time bomb is disrupted and it explodes a few minutes early, don’t blame us.

That’s right, continue…”
