Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 377 Robbery (6)

While the two robbers argued, the hostages, in contrast, were in another mood. Even if the number shown by Spirit Fox was only a handful, their courage increased, when they understood, they had support.

No longer could the robbers be unscrupulous treating them as dirt like before. At least, they would retain the treatment of human rights.

Among many, the female clerk who was about to face the worst fate, had her eyes shone with a glimmer of hope. The brilliance sought as if to signal the troops outside of her plight.

In fact, she wasn't wrong. The reason why Ling Qingyu's subordinates acted was to save her situation.

Else, they might not have been in a hurry to show their presence. If robbers stuck to their code, relying on Athena, the group could easily make an arrest, thereby, protecting the lives of hostages and adhering to de-escalation principle.

Lin Fan was also surprised. As someone working in a relevant field, he had witnessed and known the fastest response from the emergency units. But the special unit response's window made Lin Fan admit, the robbers' luck was too bad.

He understood there was no way the police departed from the base. It appeared that they were nearby when they sensed strangeness here. Thinking of the robbers' misfortune, Lin Fan almost rolled on the floor and laughed.

However, not for long troubled expression appeared on Lin Fan. He understood the robbers had no way out once they were surrounded. Even though the current scenario left so many ways out for them to retreat, no one would accept such a result.

One, they had planned for so long and might collapse if they didn't gain any. Two, they knew even if they escaped, they would soon be pursued and brought behind bars, one by one.

Frankly, Lin Fan had limited trust in the units outside, although he had heard of their various successful missions in the past. Having Lan Xi as a confidante, news about the formation of a new group by a new police chief reached his ears.

With their presence, even he and Lan Xi took great care to avoid the hunt and accidentally revealed a flaw.

Through the glass, the appearance of six officers, dressed in black, ballistic visors, kevlar armor and helmet, with the label—CAITO.

The name sounded weird but they were damn effective. Glancing at the female clerk, he laid eyes on, Lin Fan frowned.

Their breathing tightened as hostages were pressed against the wall to obstruct their views and let them have some scruples when aiming. Soon, the bulky man they focused on, didn't fudge and proceeded to succumb to his desire.

"Eh—commander?" One of them asked through a squad radio frequency.

"Send it?"

"It seems there's a rift amongst the ranks. But the leader seems to acquiesce. It's no good—"

"—I know. Focus on your sector; I'm thinking of a solution at the moment." The temporary commander glanced at her watch, counting the time for the reinforcement to arrive.

"We did this to save the poor girl. Now that it's still happening. What do we do?" Her partner underneath her, who took a kneeling position on the front hood asked. "Should we go in?"

"It's not time yet," the commander shook her head. "We need a distraction and element of surprise."

"We have flashbangs," the same girl answered.

"That's not enough. By the time we walk, we're being mowed down and risk the hostages' lives." The commander denied the option. "We care but they don't. We haven't reached the stage to be desperate. Remain in control and check your emotion."

"Roger," the girl whined.

"But your idea is great. We need flashbang, not thrown by hand but sprung out from the grenade launcher." The commander visualized her idea.

"It sounds better than sitting ducks here," the girl complained, followed by similar supports across the radio.

The commander had her lips twitched. Her subordinates were eager to storm in. Fortunately, some tools were missing. Otherwise, she might not be able to rein in her teammates.
