The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 138 Rushing to be a hostage

"You guys know what's good for you!" The number one thug retreated and continued his patrol.

The other criminals were trying to open the manager's locker. They attempted to smash the lock with a gun, but the locker was bulletproof, making it impossible to do so with a gun.

Then they used a small bomb, but the cabinet was only dented and didn't open.

Gradually, the thugs' patience wore thin: "Get the manager over here!"

The number one thug got up and dragged the manager over!

"Is there any other way to open this cabinet?" Thug number two frowned. Although opening the cabinet was difficult, he was now increasingly eager to do so.

The things inside are definitely not simple!

“If you can power on the cabinet, I can enter the password to open it. Otherwise, if you can't do it, then I certainly can't.” The manager pointed to the combination lock on the cabinet door.

This is the only solution at the moment; it seems we have no choice but to connect to electricity.

The third thug dragged the cabinet back, then pulled out a still-lit wire and connected it to the cabinet.

This process took about ten minutes, and the police outside were getting impatient.

Because the police didn't know what was happening inside, or whether the hostages were safe!

"Listen up, you people inside! We are the police, you are surrounded! Give up resistance, we will not shoot!"

"People inside, just tell us what you want!"

"Are the hostages safe? If you can guarantee their safety, then we will meet your demands accordingly!"

The police officer stood outside the door with a megaphone, shouting loudly.

But the criminals inside acted as if they hadn't heard anything and completely ignored the police outside.

Seeing how nonchalant they were, Shen Wantang knew that they must have someone waiting for them outside.

The main problem is that we don't know how many people are outside.

"All done!" Thug number three shouted happily, and then they dragged the manager over to let her enter the password.

The manager stood still: "I need my laptop and my phone!"

"What tricks are you trying to pull now? Let me tell you, you better watch out, or you won't even know if your head and body separate!" The number one thug was hot-tempered and pointed his gun at the manager's head.

"This password changes every day, and I need to calculate the new password," the manager said with his eyes closed. "I know you guys are ruthless killers, and I'm scared too, but there's really nothing I can do about it."

"And with them right under my nose, I didn't dare do anything reckless."

The second thug thought for a moment and said, "Fine, you can open this cabinet in five minutes, or you'll lose your hand."

"it is good!"

They returned the manager's phone to her, and then the manager found her notebook on the table. She opened her phone and scrolled through the latest news of the day, which contained a string of numbers.

Her notebook contained a page of English text, and the English words corresponding to the numbers were today's password.

Within five minutes, the manager opened the cabinet.

"The warehouse password!" Thug number three looked at her. "The warehouse password doesn't need to be changed all the time. Just tell us."

"The password is 0." The manager had no choice but to give the password, hoping that the police outside would arrest them all!

They're like turtles now, surrounded by all the police, and they definitely can't escape.

However, the safety of their hostages is even more worrying.

When they opened the warehouse, the warehouse was filled with diamonds, jewelry, gold, and other precious materials, which dazzled everyone!

"Oh my god! That's too much!" Ji Qianqian subconsciously glanced at the ring on her hand that she hadn't had time to take off.

Suddenly, I felt like a big crow was seeing a small crow in comparison.

"Pack everything up. Take all the hostages out in a bit. Use them as shields. Kill anyone who disobeys!" Thug Number Four ordered.

Everyone moved quickly, their backpacks were fully loaded, and they came to all the hostages.

"Everyone stand up and come out with us! If you behave, you might have a chance to live. If you dare to play tricks, you know what the consequences will be!" Thug Number Five pointed his gun at everyone.

They didn't want to stay there any longer anyway, and if they went there, there would be police, so everyone cooperated and stood up.

Thug Number Five nodded to Thug Number Three at the door: "It's ready."

"Officer, are you already impatient? Don't worry, we'll be right out!" Criminal number three shouted loudly from the doorway.

Upon hearing the noise, the police outside were all on high alert! But when the door slowly opened, the first thing they saw was not the criminals, but the hostages.

"Stop! Don't move! Protect the hostages!" The police dared not make any rash moves. Seeing that so many people were still alive, they felt much relieved.

"Everyone, form a circle." After the second criminal had the hostages form a circle, the five of them squatted in the middle of the circle so that the snipers outside couldn't target them.

I never expected these thugs to be so meticulous!

Shen Wantang thought about it and realized that now was not the time to be reckless. If they could let them go, then she would let it go.

To avoid conflict, ensure Ji Qianqian's safety first.

But that's how it is; the more you think about something, the more you fear it will happen, the more likely it will happen.

The criminals used this method to keep leaving the mall, which was surrounded by police cars.

Just then, a black van sped by.

"If we are safe, we will release these two hostages!" The criminals boarded the car one after another, and finally grabbed two more hostages to bring on board.

Ji Qianqian was one of them.

Shen Wantang held Ji Qianqian's hand tightly: "Qianqian!"

"No! Sister-in-law! Let me go!" Ji Qianqian struggled desperately, but the thugs still managed to pull her into the car.

Seeing this, Shen Wantang said, "You're not allowed to take my sister away! I'll go with you!"

"First time I've seen this, rushing to be a hostage, approved!" Thug number five laughed, and just like that, the three of them were pulled into the car, which quickly set off at a high speed.

Those hostages who didn't get on the bus all breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't them!

"Send someone to follow them discreetly! Make sure all three of them are safe!"

Plainclothes officers quickly sprang into action from the crowd, and they deployed more than one vehicle. To allay the criminals' suspicions, they had to switch vehicles frequently to follow behind them.

That way they won't suspect they're being followed.

"Sister-in-law, what should we do! I haven't waited for Lu Xiao to come back yet, I can't let anything happen to him!" Ji Qianqian cried, her face full of sorrow. Her luck was too good! She was chosen from so many people!

The other one was a very young girl; her eyes were red and she was crying out of fear.
