That kiss suddenly appeared in her mind. Although she knew that he had used that method to block her face in a moment of desperation, she still felt a bit awkward and her face couldn"t help but turn red.
"You stay in my car." Chen Yanzhuo said as he took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Huo XIwen.
"What about you?" Huo XIwen looked at him and casually asked.
"I"ll go upstairs." After confirming the floor where the elevator stopped, Chen Yanzhuo pressed the b.u.t.ton for the elevator.
"There are six or seven of them. Are you going alone? That would be too dangerous. " Huo XIwen reminded him.
"Don"t worry, the police have already taken the stairs up from the first floor. There are now police officers guarding the various exits of this building." As soon as Chen Yanzhuo finished his sentence, the sound of footsteps came from behind him.
Huo XIwen turned around, and indeed, he saw a few police officers in uniform walking over from the side. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
"How is it? The suspects have all gone up? " The middle-aged man walked up to Chen Yanzhuo and asked.
"Arrange for a few people to stand guard on the 17th floor. Follow me." Chen Yanzhuo said.
The middle-aged man glanced at Huo XIwen, hesitated for a moment, then said to Chen Yanzhuo, "I"ll bring two people to work with Old Wu, you don"t need to go up there. Your friend is still here, you stay with her."
At this time, Chen Yanzhuo also glanced at Huo XIwen, as if he was asking for her opinion.
Huo XIwen was afraid that he would hold them back, so he quickly said, "I"m fine, I can take care of myself."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was stunned. He probably did not expect her to say this, "Then we"ll be going up."
"Stay in the car. No matter what happens, don"t get out." At this time, the elevator had already reached the lower floor of the bas.e.m.e.nt, so he stepped into the elevator.
Watching them leave, Huo XIwen turned around to pick up the remote control and immediately found Chen Yanzhuo"s car.
After getting in, she sat in the pa.s.senger seat and waited for them to get out.
As time pa.s.sed, she began to worry, vexed that she shouldn"t have let Chen Yanzhuo go upstairs with her.
She really should have let him stay with her.
After all, he wasn"t a police officer. What was the use of fighting a criminal head on like this?
He might even get hurt.
At the thought that he might be injured, Huo XIwen could no longer remain calm.
If she was really injured because of this, was he the culprit?
The more scared she was, the more her imagination would start to run wild. The more she thought about it, the more scared she would become. For a moment, her heart clenched.
She clenched her hands into fists and put them on her lap, unconscious. Her gaze was fixated on the elevator.
Suddenly, a few loud sounds echoed from the side. There was a burst of hurried footsteps.
Chen Yanzhuo came?
When she heard the noise, she immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car, ready to greet him.
But the next second, she saw that the person who ran out from the staircase was not Chen Yanzhuo, but the criminal boss, Big Brother Pang.
She looked back in fright, ready to get into the car.
However, the panicked Brother Biao already noticed her and ran towards her at an extremely fast speed.
Behind him was Chen Yanzhuo and a group of heavily armed police officers.
Brother Pang ran to Huo XIwen"s side. At this moment, Huo XIwen was only a few centimeters away from the car door. In the next second, she could reach out and open the car door.
However, just at that little distance, Pang Bo grabbed her, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her in front of him as a hostage.
At her temples, a cold muzzle was pointed at her skin.
For the first time, Huo XIwen felt that death was so close to him.
The black muzzle of the gun was pressed against her face, and she could feel a bone-chilling cold spreading from her temples.
"If you don"t want her to die, then back off!" Pang Ge"s voice sounded very nervous. His forehead was sweating, his hands were shaking, and his expression was fierce. He shouted at Chen Yanzhuo and the police who were chasing after him.
"Wan Biao, you won"t be able to escape. Let the hostages go, perhaps there"s still room." The leader of the police shouted at him.
"A leeway?" I shot one of your men, and you tell me there"s room? "I know that no matter what, I will die today. I won"t lose out if I have this girl accompanying me on the Road to River Styx." As Wan Biao spoke, he tightened his grip on the pistol as a terrifying smile appeared on his face.
"I say, big brother, don"t be nervous, I have no enmity with you, if you really plan on dying, what"s the point of pulling me down with you? If you only want to use me to threaten them, then be careful. If the gun goes off and you kill me, then you will really die. " Huo XIwen was afraid that the other party would act impulsively and pull the trigger, which would end his life. Thus, he could only cautiously advise him. She could clearly hear that his voice was trembling.
It wasn"t clear if it was because of her words, but Wan Biao"s hand was much steadier than before, and he was no longer shaking like before.
"Behave yourself. If you cooperate with me and escape, I might be able to let you off." he whispered in her ear.
"Alright, I"ll cooperate. I guarantee my cooperation. What do you want me to do?" She was already regretting being an enthusiastic citizen and helping the police catch the bad guys.
She still wanted to live for a few more years. She still needed to marry Fu Muyun and have a child. She couldn"t just die like this.
"Wan Biao." At this time, Chen Yanzhuo, who had been standing at the opposite side and was observing the situation, opened his mouth, "Release her, I"ll be your hostage."
Hearing this, Huo XIwen"s heart trembled.
Is he crazy?
He actually wanted to trade with her?
Was he not afraid of death?
"You want to trade with her? Don"t tease me, you think I"m fooled by you? " Wan Biao didn"t dare to switch people at all. Chen Yanzhuo was a huge man, which was much harder to control than Huo XIwen.
If it really was a replacement, it was not certain who would subdue who.
"The car beside you is mine. I"ll be your driver. I"ll take you wherever you want to go." Chen Yanzhuo added.
This suggestion was actually very tempting. If he wanted to leave now, the fastest way was to drive, but he had to point the gun at the hostage, so he had no way to drive.
"You drive." Wan Biao said to Huo Xi Wen, who was standing in front of him.
A thought flashed through Huo XIwen"s mind, and he immediately said, "I don"t have a driver"s license, I don"t know how to drive …"
"You can"t drive?" Wan Biao didn"t think that the hostage that he held hostage wouldn"t even know how to drive a car. For a moment, he didn"t know what to do.
"How is Wan Biao? I"ll drive a car for you. You have a gun in your hand, do you still fear that I"ll play any tricks on you? " Chen Yanzhuo stared at Wan Biao and said.
Wan Biao"s expression was one of struggle. Clearly, he was weighing in his heart what it was best to do.
