Captain Gu? Qin Zhi’ai turned around to look in confusion. She glanced at Gu Yusheng standing next to her.

It was unclear whether Gu Yusheng was shocked by being called “Captain Gu,” or hadn’t heard what the policeman said, but he didn’t respond to the call. He only stared at his police uniform.

He didn’t regain his composure for a while. The corners of his mouth curled up. He half joked with the policeman who had just called him. “I’m not a captain anymore. I’m a CEO, now.”

Gu Yusheng curled up the corners of his mouth and joked, “Captain Gu doesn’t sound as good as CEO Gu.”

Gu Yusheng sounded very casual and relaxed. He wore a weak smile on his face and looked sincere.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t know if she was hallucinating or not, but she felt like Gu Yusheng was either forcing his smile or laughing at himself. No expression showed on his handsome face, but he still looked very sad.

Gu Yusheng stopped smiling very quickly and took out a cigarette from his pocket and bit it between his teeth. As he lit the cigarette, he looked up and glanced at the three criminals who had taken three people hostage. He ambiguously asked the policeman in the front, “What happened?”

“Are you asking about those three? Drug dealers. We’ve been following them since the beginning of this year. They hid themselves well, but we finally got them today. I was most afraid that they would run to a public place like this when they were chased. They might risk their lives and set off the bomb or kill the hostages. Anyway, it happened too fast, today. We didn’t catch them in time and they ran away from us. If we can’t catch them today, it’ll be a long time before we can catch them again. We’ve notified the Anti-Terrorist Team. They’re having a meeting, discussing their plan right now.”

As the police man described what had happened, the criminals were escalating. “Are you going to agree to our conditions? If you don’t agree, we’ll kill her right now.”

As the criminal talked, he pressed the knife down harder on the woman hostage’s neck. Drops of blood slowly dripped down her neck.

“We agree, we agree,” the police man in negotiation immediately conceded.

“Stop dragging us along. Don’t you think I know that you’re asking for help? If snipers come, we cannot leave,” another one of the criminals said with a vicious look on his face.

“He’s right. Give us a direct answer. Either let us go now, or we all die.” The criminal held the bomb controller high and posed as if he could press the b.u.t.ton at any time.

The three hostages were all scared and looked as pale as ghosts. The little boy kept calling for his mom, while the other two women were so scared that they couldn’t cry out.

“Captain Gu, we’ll catch up later. I need go and check on the situation. I don’t think these criminals are too easy to handle.” The police man who had come over to say hi to Gu Yusheng turned around and ran back to the scene.

Gu Yusheng ambiguously called the policeman’s name, Qin Yang, with a cigarette between his teeth only a second after the policeman ran away from him.

The policeman, Qin Yang, stopped and turned around to look at Gu Yusheng.

Gu Yusheng took the cigarette out of his mouth and looked around before he asked, “Do you have a gun on you?”
