I Have A Dual World Seal

"Hmm?"

The second-in-command couldn’t help but look at Zhao Xiaodao, surprised. He really hadn’t expected that this famous domestic celebrity could have such courage.

The two makeup artists also looked at Zhao Xiaodao in shock, but glanced at the criminals and dared not speak.

"Second brother, what did she say?" the brawny man holding the AK asked.

Except for this second-in-command, the other four were locals who didn’t understand Hua Country’s language.

The second-in-command smirked, chuckled, "She said leave her behind and let the others go."

He replied, then looked at Zhao Xiaodao and the two makeup artists expectantly, but just shook his head.

The two makeup artists were disappointed. Zhao Xiaodao couldn’t resist asking, "Why? You’re... you’re also from Hua Country. I won’t say anything stupid about pleading for mercy, but they’re innocent. For you, it’s also..."

"They can block bullets."

Maybe because Zhao Xiaodao was a big star, the second-in-command actually explained.

"Letting them go, with only you left, would indeed make it easier for us, but it would also make it easier for the police to rescue. Do you think it’s easier to save one person or four people?" he said coldly.

Zhao Xiaodao opened her mouth. She really hadn’t considered this.

Because the result was obvious—of course, it’s easier to save one person; they only need to focus on Zhao Xiaodao.

Whether it’s a special forces officer blocking bullets or a surprise drag away, with just one person as the target, they can even combine several plans.

What about the four people?

It becomes much more difficult. The number of attackers is limited, and protecting four people simultaneously is even harder. The margin for error greatly decreases, making casualties likely.

If Zhao Xiaodao were the one to die...

That would definitely be world news!

Well, thanks to a network media capturing the live footage this morning, along with Zhao Xiaodao’s status in Hua Country, it’s already world news.

Thus, orders from above have come down absolutely.

No compromise with the criminals!

But Zhao Xiaodao must not be harmed!

The command post in the rear almost cried, passing the pressure onto the police chief at the frontline.

And the frontline police chief was already crying, grabbing his hair frantically while cursing the early morning’s commanding officer.

The result of trying to handle both ends meant the police chief had no idea, buying time while calling for special city police support.

Setting up snipers, assault officers, and rescue personnel, ready to launch an assault at any time.

Preparing to send in vehicles while holding a room full of evidence and organ resources, negotiating with other unseen criminals, ready to compromise.

"Send over our negotiation expert, convince them that surrendering is their only way out."

The police chief spoke tough in front of the media cameras but turned to pull his confidant aside, whispering, "Send Mori over, tell those criminals that if they surrender, we’ll lessen their sentence."

"Tell them, I’ll decide, and they can become informants, further reducing their sentence, and guaranteeing their safety."

The confidant nodded, quickly seeking someone from their inner circle.

...

Meanwhile, on the third floor of a small office building, inside a room occupied by criminals.

"So, they are still useful."

The second-in-command said coldly, glancing out the window, "You, the highest-ranking, must stay till the end. If we need to provoke the police by killing hostages, of course, we’d start with those three."

Standard Hua Country language was understood by the assistant and the two makeup artists.

But they wished they hadn’t understood, as understanding made them more afraid.

Saying this, the second-in-command suddenly pulled out his phone, checking the time.

"It’s almost one o’clock..."

He opened the blinds, glanced at the police outside, then saw someone who looked like a negotiation expert, raising hands, walking towards the building.

Dressed in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with neatly parted hair, squinting eyes, it was clear he was a scheming guy.

"I am here to negotiate!"

"I have no weapons!"

"Don’t shoot!"

The second-in-command pulled out his pistol, without saying a word, fired a shot at the ground in front of that person.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, shocking the man, who instantly turned around, retreating faster than he had approached, fleeing behind the police line within seconds, no longer daring to show his face.

"The car! Now! Immediately! You have only five minutes!"

The second-in-command shouted outside, then closed the blinds again.

He turned back to look at Zhao Xiaodao and the other three, a flash of unbridled aggression in his eyes.

Terrifying the group into shivering.

"Du Ka!"

"Second brother?"

"Set up the phone and record a video to post online," the second-in-command said coldly.

"Yes!"

A man nearby, carrying a Uzi, slung his gun behind him, and pulled out his phone, taking a phone stand from the table.

This room seemed to have belonged to someone who did live streaming.

He clamped the phone on the stand, aimed the camera at Zhao Xiaodao and the others.

Opened an app, typed a few sentences, also @ the local police, then opened the recording mode on the app, ready for one-click upload.

"Second brother, it’s ready." Du Ka said and clicked to start recording.

The second-in-command turned, looked at the four, eyes scanning over Zhao Xiaodao, the assistant, and the two makeup artists.

"You... what are you going to do..."

The assistant retreated with all her might, wishing she could squeeze herself into the wall.

"What?"

The second-in-command grinned fiercely, "Of course, to record a video, put some pressure on the police."

Their pupils shrank suddenly, the two makeup artists couldn’t help but cry again, shaking all over.

The second-in-command restrained his smile, face expressionless, then glanced at the two alongside.

One holding an AK, and the other with a Glock handgun, both put their guns away and stepped forward to grab the makeup artist on the end.

"No!"

"No! Don’t come over!"

Zhao Xiaodao’s heart pounded wildly, instinctively shielding the makeup artist.

"Zhao Xiaodao, don’t push your luck, don’t think we really won’t kill you. If you dare move, trust me, I’ll tear your face apart!" the second-in-command shouted sternly.

Zhao Xiaodao shuddered, couldn’t help but pause, wanting to retreat.

And the next moment, Zhao Xiaodao heard Lu Zheng’s voice in her ear.

"Don’t be afraid, Lin Wan and I have already arrived."

Zhao Xiaodao’s eyes instantly lit up, her lips nearly involuntary to smile.

"Do you want to be a heroine once?" Lu Zheng chuckled, "Easily dealing with criminals, rescuing your peers?"

Zhao Xiaodao didn’t hesitate, nodded heavily, "I do!"

The second-in-command looked at Zhao Xiaodao, confused, "What did you say?"

"I said..."

Zhao Xiaodao suddenly looked up, her eyes sharp as blades, "You’re finished!"
