After the meeting ended, the leader of the army specially asked Shi Man to stay. He even called in a team of people and handed them to Shi Man.
“These are all elites carefully selected by our troops. They are all under your leadership. You must complete this mission successfully. While ensuring the safety of the hostages, you must also eliminate all risks.”
“Yes,” Shi Man replied expressionlessly.
In the leader’s opinion, it was clearly Shi Man’s first time on a mission, but she was so calm. It was enough to show that her mental fortitude was extremely strong.
Actually, this mission would not have fallen on Shi Man no matter what, but since Chief Lu had personally requested it, he could only listen.
The leader was a little flustered to let a new instructor who had never carried out a mission do such a dangerous and important mission.
After thinking for a while, he still instructed worriedly, “If you encounter any emergencies, you can contact me at any time. I’ll send reinforcements at any time.”
“Yes,” Shi Man replied.
The leader didn’t know what else to say. He could only deploy the weapons to Shi Man and the others according to the rules. After confirming the location of the crime scene with them, he let them pack up and set off.
The case was urgent, so there was no time to hesitate.
When Shi Man and the others arrived at the suburbs in the off-road vehicle, it was already one in the afternoon.
On the periphery, the police quietly established a temporary stronghold in front of the abandoned building where the kidnappers were. The location was in the small building opposite the building.
The field of vision here was wide. If anything happened, they could order the sniper, who was already on standby, to fire.
But they were helpless about the situation inside.
This time, the kidnappers were abnormally fierce. They had countless weapons in their hands and had even set up landmines in advance in the open space in front of the building. If they were not careful, they would be hurt in an explosion.
They had been in a stalemate with the kidnappers for a day and night. When they saw the reinforcements, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up and they surrounded them as if they had grabbed a straw to clutch at.
Unexpectedly, the first to get out of the car was a young lady who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
The captain of the criminal police, Liu Wei, was stunned. He forced a smile and asked, “Hello, why hasn’t the commander-in-chief of your operation arrived yet?”
Shi Man frowned and said, “I’m here. How’s the situation at the event location? Let’s do the handover.”
Liu Wei’s expression instantly turned very ugly.
The child who had been kidnapped this time was only six years old. He could not deal with the murderer inside and could not buy them time. Last night, the kidnappers had already given an ultimatum for the rich businessman to immediately hand over 100 million or they would kill the hostage.
If not for the police’s efforts, they would not have waited until the reinforcements arrived.
However, he did not expect that what he had spent so much effort to wait for was actually a weak little girl!
He didn’t seem to have offended anyone in the army!
Were they trying to play him to death?
The rich businessman this time had deep connections. If something really happened to his daughter, he could probably take off his police uniform and leave his job!
The rich businessman was also very anxious to save his daughter. When he heard that reinforcements had arrived, he hurriedly walked over from the small house at the side and rushed to the uniform troops behind Shi Man. He was so excited that he almost cried. “Leaders, you’re finally here. I beg you, you must save my daughter!”
The soldiers looked embarrassed and glanced at Shi Man calmly. They said awkwardly, “Hello, we’re not the leaders. We’re here to cooperate with the commander.”
“Then who is the commander?” The rich businessman had tears on his face, but the corners of his mouth were wide open, making him look a little comical.
When he heard the word “commander”, endless hope immediately arose in his heart. However, the moment he followed these people’s gazes and saw Shi Man, the light in his eyes completely extinguished and quickly ignited with anger again.
“You guys are simply messing around!”
The rich businessman roared at Shi Man angrily, “Do you have no one in your army that you have to let a little girl be the commander? We taxpayers have paid so much money. Is this how you protect our personal safety? 1 demand that the commander be replaced immediately. Otherwise, 1 will agree to the other party’s request and give him a hundred million in exchange for my daughter’s safety.”
This was what he had thought from the beginning. Although 100 million was not a small sum, it was not a big deal to him. In order to save his daughter, not to mention 100 million, even a billion was not a problem for him.
If not for the fact that the servants at home had called the police after receiving the kidnapper’s call, he would not have wanted to put up with these useless police officers and delay his time to save his daughter.
Seeing this, Liu Wei sighed deeply. He tried his best to calm the rich businessman down and walked up to Shi Man. “Young lady, how long have you been in the army?”
He believed that the leaders would not ignore human lives. For this young lady to be appointed, perhaps she really had something extraordinary?
However, he had indeed never heard of such a young talent in the army.
“Two days,” Shi Man replied expressionlessly..
