Chapter 1266 - 1270: How Is It Him?
Then, Lin Feng was shocked to hear Su Zi pleading for help over the phone with a sobbing voice, "Lin Feng... come quickly to Shengshi Department Store, something has happened... I’m so scared..."
"What happened?" Lin Feng’s face changed instantly. While grabbing the car keys and rushing out, he asked Su Zi nervously, "Don’t panic, speak slowly, I’m coming over now..."
...
As Lin Feng raced toward Shengshi Department Store, Su Zi, Tang Rou, and Ning Yujiao were hiding among a panicked crowd in a boutique store on the fifth floor of the department store, nervously watching a group of masked, armed assailants loudly threatening everyone in the corridor:
"Everyone stay f***ing still, no one move, anyone who moves will be shot dead!"
"We don’t want your lives, now it’s the Jiangzhou Police who want your lives! They’re surrounding this building, and since we can’t get out, we’ll have to use you people as leverage..."
It turned out, half an hour ago, while Su Zi and the others were shopping in the boutique store, they suddenly heard intense gunfire from upstairs. A group of armed robbers had robbed the jewelry store and were escaping through multiple routes when they encountered the swiftly arriving Jiangzhou Police, resulting in a gun battle. The robbers couldn’t escape the building and had to return, taking hostages to negotiate with the Jiangzhou Police!
Before going shopping, Su Zi had left Su Long’s national security subordinates in the underground parking lot due to their conspicuous and cumbersome presence. As a result, when the unexpected incident occurred... although Su Long and his team rushed into the building immediately, they couldn’t find the location of Su Zi and the others.
Fortunately, Su Zi reacted quickly. At the moment she saw the armed assailants, she didn’t hesitate to dial Lin Feng’s number. Before the assailants forcibly confiscated everyone’s phones, she had already quietly conveyed a lot of crucial information to Lin Feng.
...
When Lin Feng arrived near the bustling Shengshi Department Store Building, he found that both streets in front and behind Shengshi Department Store, along with the personnel from several nearby office buildings, had been evacuated by the Jiangzhou Police. The area was already filled with over ten police cars, including several armored SWAT vehicles...
Dozens of officers wearing bulletproof vests were setting up a cordon, advising curious onlookers to leave... There’s no help for it, Chinese people are just that bold, as long as there is excitement, they aren’t afraid of danger!
Lin Feng parked his car casually by the roadside, then squeezed through the crowd, advanced a few meters, and when the busy officers weren’t paying attention, he directly jumped over the police line and hurried towards the side door of Shengshi Department Store Building.
A uniformed officer, seeing Lin Feng’s action, yelled in panic, "Sir, you can’t go in there, it’s dangerous!"
"Cut the crap, I’m from Major Crimes..." Lin Feng didn’t look back, casually shouting.
"Major Crimes?!" The officer was momentarily stunned, then instinctively glanced at another colleague beside him and asked, "Do you know which department Major Crimes is?"
"I know... isn’t it the Detective team from the Harbor City Special Administrative Region Police Station!"
"Harbor City Special Administrative Region Police Station? What kind of background do these robbers have that they brought in ’experts’ from Harbor City?" The officer was a bit taken aback.
...
Lin Feng didn’t know that his offhand fabrication of an identity had brought serious confusion to that officer, but at this moment, he couldn’t care about others’ thoughts; his main concern was quickly finding Su Zi, Tang Rou, and Ning Yujiao to ensure their safety!
Because officers had cleared the area beforehand, there were no other people near the previously noisy entrance of Shengshi Department Store outside of police surveillance, so Lin Feng was able to forcefully rush inside smoothly... Of course, his presence caused a lot of psychological pressure on the Jiangzhou Police leaders watching the surveillance!
"Who is that person? Who authorized you to send someone in?!"
At this moment, in a riot control command vehicle near Shengshi Department Store, Deputy Director Liu Haidong, in charge of the scene, saw the figure suddenly flash past on the surveillance, his eyebrows twitched, and he jumped with rage, thinking it was a subordinate who, not following his orders, sent someone to rush in!
The leaders from Nanjiang District Bureau present looked at each other, inquiring among themselves, and then gave Liu Haidong a look indicating they were unaware of what happened.
"Director Liu, we didn’t send anyone in!" Nanjiang District Director Jiang Tao said to Liu Haidong, looking pained.
Liu Haidong was momentarily stunned, "You didn’t send anyone? Then tell me, who is that guy? Jiang Tao, don’t tell me that your subordinates can’t even stop an ordinary civilian?!"
"Director Liu, we’ve captured the clearest image from the recent surveillance!" The technician in control of the surveillance in the command vehicle said to Liu Haidong, pointing to a computer screen showcasing a clear photo, signaling Liu Haidong to take a look.
"Everyone, recognize the person... see if it’s one of your non-compliant subordinates..." Liu Haidong instinctively directed several district subordinates, then turned to look at the computer screen himself. Upon seeing Lin Feng’s serious face, Liu Haidong was slightly surprised, "Why is it him?!"
The few leaders from Nanjiang District Bureau were originally looking gloomy. Upon hearing Liu Haidong suddenly speak with surprise, they each seemed like they had grasped a lifeline, eagerly looking at Liu Haidong.
Again it was Jiang Tao, reluctantly asking, "Director Liu, who is this person?"
"He is..." Liu Haidong was about to explain Lin Feng’s background, but thinking it unnecessary to reveal Lin Feng’s connection with the Cao Family to these district subordinates, he said sternly, "You don’t need to know his exact identity, just remember that he’s definitely someone you can’t afford to offend..."
The leaders from Nanjiang District Bureau exchanged looks. They were all seasoned veterans on the political stage and understood the gravity of Liu Haidong’s warning, realizing that Lin Feng’s identity was undoubtedly complex... They quietly remembered Liu Haidong’s words and instinctively noted Lin Feng’s somewhat handsome face from the screen.
"Then... Director Liu, this person, won’t his entering Shengshi Department Store impact our operation?" Jiang Tao asked nervous and worried... He feared that if this influential young man accidentally perished inside Shengshi Department Store, he wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility!
Nonsense, it was previously said he couldn’t be casually provoked; if he really died at the scene he was responsible for... it would be an utter disaster!
"No need to worry too much about that!" Liu Haidong knew Lin Feng’s capabilities were extraordinary, not worried about Lin Feng’s safety, but rather concerned... that Lin Feng’s urgent arrival might be to rescue Cao Ying?
Thinking that Cao Tiannan’s treasured daughter might be inside Shengshi Department Store, possibly held hostage by the assailants, Liu Haidong’s forehead involuntarily beaded with cold sweat.
