In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

The moment the gun went off, the police officer who had just entered the room instinctively lunged to the side, but he was no match for the bullet.

As blood gushed from his thigh, pain engulfed the police officer's entire body.

The other police officers had already drawn their pistols the moment they heard the gunshot; there were three pistols in total, six officers.

They used police cars to block the hotel entrance and immediately reported the incident to the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau.

"We've been exposed! That Public Security Bureau chief is still at the hotel. Even if we die, it wouldn't be a loss to drag him down with us!"

After the leader of the thugs finished speaking, the group's anxious hearts finally calmed down a bit. They hadn't planned to leave alive after carrying out this mission.

A dozen or so rioters rushed upstairs, while the remaining rioters stayed in the lobby, taking the hotel receptionist hostage and blocking the main entrance.

In the room, the instant the gunshot rang out, Qi Tongwei sprang up from the bed.

His gaze fell on a box in the corner of the room.

Without hesitation, he quickly opened the box, inside which was a sniper rifle.

The sniper rifle was originally kept in the trunk of his car, but when the car broke down and needed repairs during the raid on Tazhai Village the night before last, Qi Tongwei took the sniper rifle back to his hotel room.

He quickly loaded the bullets and opened the door. The other police officers living on this floor had already been awakened. They didn't have guns with them; they could only take them on missions and had to hand them over afterward. So, they were all stunned to see the sniper rifle in their director's hand.

Just then, a series of footsteps echoed down the stairwell. Qi Tongwei quickly signaled for everyone to retreat back to their rooms and escape through the windows, while he himself set up his gun and aimed it at the stairwell.

The moment the first thug appeared in Qi Tongwei's sight, Qi Tongwei, without hesitation, shot him in the head. The other thugs immediately suppressed him with fire, forcing Qi Tongwei to turn sideways and return to his room.

A fierce battle was taking place in the stairwell, and police cars downstairs were sirens blaring. At the same time, after receiving the news, the director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau personally led a team of hundreds of armed police officers to the hotel. At the same time, the armed police and military district also mobilized.

Gunfire continued in the stairwell, and Qi Tongwei had no chance to expose himself until the gunfire grew closer. Only then did Qi Tongwei expose his hands to protect himself and fire blindly into the stairwell!

The shot was lucky; it hit a thug directly in the chest, spraying blood as he collapsed to the ground.

Thus, the situation remained deadlocked. Every few moments, Qi Tongwei would quickly extend his gun and fire, whether he hit or not depended on luck. However, the corridor was narrow, and there were always unlucky people who would be hit.

In just a few minutes, Qi Tongwei emptied two magazines, a total of fourteen bullets, leaving only two loose bullets. Qi Tongwei was prepared to die.

And what about the thugs? They lost seven or eight men before even capturing Qi Tongwei. Some of them, though not fatally wounded, were incapacitated for a short period.

Seeing that this was not a solution, the leader of the rioters went downstairs and brought the hotel receptionist up.

He stood in front of the hotel receptionist and shouted at Qi Tongwei.

"Manager Qi, I'm giving you ten seconds. If you don't come out, I'll shoot this hotel receptionist dead!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was stunned. He looked at the bullet in his hand, smiled bitterly, cocked the gun, and then walked out of the room with his gun raised. In an instant, he aimed at the leader of the thugs and saw the result of his blind firing.

Seven or eight fell to the ground, not a loss!

Thinking this way, Qi Tongwei actually relaxed.

"Who are you? Don't you know this is a terrorist attack!"

Qi Tongwei spoke up, while the leader of the thugs opposite him gave a disdainful smile.

He then raised his gun to shoot at Qi Tongwei, but Qi Tongwei was faster. The instant the other man raised his hand, Qi Tongwei fired two shots, emptying all his bullets and taking the two thugs away.

At the same time, Qi Tongwei was also shot three times.

Two shots to the arm and one to the abdomen, blood gushing out, and the sniper rifle fell heavily to the ground.

He staggered, but he didn't fall.

Two more thugs were taken down, leaving only three. Seeing this, the leader of the thugs stepped forward, grabbed Qi Tongwei's arm, and dragged the still-bleeding Qi Tongwei down the stairs, his blood staining the entire staircase red.

Back in the hall, seeing Qi Tongwei barely alive, the remaining six or seven thugs surrounded him, guns pressed against his forehead.

Time slipped away, bit by bit...

A large number of police officers have arrived and surrounded the entire hotel, and armed police and even military snipers are also in place.

"Listen up, you people outside! If you don't want your Public Security Bureau Chief to die right now, bring Lin Yaodong here. I'm only giving you fifteen minutes. If he's not here by then, I'll detonate the bomb and take your Public Security Bureau Chief down with me!"

Lin Yaodong was the ultimate target of this group of thugs. As for targeting Qi Tongwei, it was just a matter of revenge. If it weren't for Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau, keeping an eye on Tazhai Village, the situation would never have developed into what it is now.

Furthermore, by using Director Qi as a hostage, the police would most likely compromise and hand over Lin Yaodong. Isn't that easier than directly storming the police station and rushing to Lin Yaodong's side?

Lin Yaodong knows too much; he must die!

The director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau was like an ant on a hot pan, completely at a loss for what to do.

He made phone calls one after another, from the city to the province, even waking Chen Luo from his sleep.

He picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hey, Secretary Chen, something terrible has happened!"

In an instant, Chen Luo was wide awake and sat up straight.

"Mingyu, speak slowly!"

After Liu Mingyu quickly recounted what had happened in Dongshan City, Chen Luo's heart sank to the bottom. This was a terrorist attack; it was utterly lawless!

After quickly hanging up, Chen Luo immediately called the director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau.

"I am Chen Luo!"

By directly reporting his home address, the director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau finally found a pillar of support.

"Secretary Chen, the terrorists have kidnapped Director Qi and a hotel receptionist, demanding that we bring Lin Yaodong, the major drug lord, here. They threaten to detonate a bomb if he doesn't arrive by the appointed time. What should we do?"

"Bring him here immediately! You must ensure the safety of Comrade Qi Tongwei and the civilian hostages!"

Did you understand?

"Understood, understood! Secretary Chen, I'll act immediately!"

Following Chen Luo's instructions, the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau quickly transported Lin Yaodong from the city bureau to the hotel.

Lin Yaodong remained silent, as if he already knew his fate after getting out of the car.

"We've brought the people! Now, please release Director Qi and the hotel receptionist immediately!"

Despite the police's shouts, the rioters in the lobby ignored them and simply pushed the hotel receptionist out.

"One person for one person, let Lin Yaodong in!"

At this moment, the hearts of the police officers present sank to the bottom.
