It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Most of the abducted people were still minors - these children were frightened, huddled together helplessly, and shivered in the corners of the iron cages.

On the other hand, the atmosphere within the trafficking gang seemed rather strange.

The gatekeeper was busy checking his weapons, while the others were whispering to each other. They spoke very quickly and excitedly.

Among these people, most were still confused and could not figure out the situation outside.

When they heard the news that the police were coming, they thought it was another surprise inspection of the factory outside - similar inspections had happened in the past, but Lao Mo had always managed to fool them.

These people didn't know that the password door had lost power, so Lao Mo asked them to go to the warehouse to guard the "goods", and they went over.

"Should we prepare to move?" someone asked.

"I don't know. What did Lao Mo say?" The person who answered frowned uneasily. "Why does it sound a bit noisy up there?"

"What should we do with these records and account books? Lao Mo said he wanted to destroy them all..."

"What else can we do? Burn it. Those two computers will have to be scrapped too. Why are you moving the monitor? Move the computer case! All the records are stored in the case!"

There was a chaotic noise all around, and the veins on the gatekeeper's forehead twitched, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He silently released the safety of the gun and held the already activated weapon in his arms.

In this situation, it is impossible for him to kindly remind the people around him. In the end, in order to protect himself, the gatekeeper may even use these people to escape.

The eldest brother does not feel sorry for this: if anyone else were in his situation, they would definitely make the same choice.

It's just that everyone takes care of themselves.

The man surnamed Mo never said a word of certainty. If you only rely on his words, you will die without knowing how you will die - the eldest brother has already decided that even if it comes to the point where both sides are doomed, he will rely on himself to get out of it.

At this moment, Xiao Li, who had been following him around, suddenly came up with a wry smile.

"Brother," Xiao Li pointed in a corner, "the guy we caught earlier ran away..."

The gatekeeper glanced in the direction Xiao Li pointed, then quickly looked away: "Just run away, we can't take care of her right now."

Now they really have no time to catch people - let alone catch a bird. If one or two people can escape successfully, they will be considered blessed by their ancestors.

After hearing this, Xiao Li didn't know what he was thinking.

He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled ingratiatingly: "Brother, what should we do now... Although the door is locked, we have to find a way to escape."

The gatekeeper stopped what he was doing and looked up at Xiao Li.

...I almost forgot, this kid also knows the situation outside.

However, although Xiao Li knew that there were a large number of police outside, he could not think of any way to escape.

He just subconsciously moved closer to the person with the highest fighting power in the room, and sincerely hoped that the other party could find a way to take him away with him.

The gatekeeper didn't say anything, but just stared at Xiao Li for a few seconds.

He didn't really want to bring along a guy like Xiao Li who was a drag - the more people there were, the more likely something would go wrong, and the more difficult it would be to escape.

The eldest brother just planned to escape alone.

He had already thought about it. If the police really found out about the underground business, he would use the guns in his hands to control the warehouse and negotiate with the police using the piglets in the cage.

At that time, he asked the police to prepare a getaway car and cash, and then took a young child hostage and walked out.

Just wait until you really escape from police surveillance and then abandon the child.

There are simply too many ready-made hostages here - as long as he controls this place, he can even threaten the police by killing one person every five minutes until they agree to his demands.

He was not afraid even if the cops were prepared to use force to rescue the hostages.

As long as he hides behind the cage, he can shoot without restraint, while the other party has to consider the safety of the hostages and dare not act rashly.

Even if he really can't escape in the end... the worst that can happen is that he can drag a few more people down with him, so it won't be a loss no matter how you look at it!

Thinking of this, the eldest brother paused.

He admitted reluctantly that Lao Mo's request that they guard the piglets in the cage did make sense.

After all, even if the police have absolute advantages in force and equipment, as long as the traffickers hold hostages, they will have to suppress their anger and negotiate with them.

The reason why Lao Mo closed the door was to prevent everyone in the underground facility from running away for fear of being caught.

In that case, Lao Mo would be truly passive and could only run for his life as well - even if he managed to escape, he would have to live as a wanted criminal for the rest of his life.

When the eldest brother realized this, he cursed even more fiercely in his heart.

This old Deng never cared about the lives of the people under him from beginning to end.

Forget it, no matter what, they now have a lot of hostages in their hands, so they can put their minds at ease for the time being...

It’s impossible for someone to show up now and rescue all these piglets at once, right?

The gatekeeper thought the idea was a little funny: why did he start talking nonsense too?

Without anyone noticing, the broadcasting equipment originally hanging on the beam suddenly buzzed and switched from standby mode to the working mode.

But the noise was so small that no one noticed it.

At this moment, Xiao Li, who had been staying calm, suddenly became possessed and screamed sharply.

A sound.

"hiss……"

Xiao Li covered his ears and shook his head uncomfortably.

"What are you doing?" The eldest brother glanced at him.

"No, I just heard a sharp sound suddenly..."

Xiao Li rubbed his earlobe, feeling a little strange. "That sound was really sharp. Didn't you hear it, brother?"

The gatekeeper glared at him in confusion: "What sound was there? I didn't hear anything at all."

"No, it really is," Xiao Li was dumbfounded, "I just heard it..."

"Did you mishear that?"

The gatekeeper was a little annoyed. He really thought that Xiao Li was a troublemaker, so he just spoke casually and perfunctorily.

He accidentally looked at the large number of iron cages stacked in the shadow of the warehouse.

The lights in the house were broken, so if I wanted to see clearly I could only rely on the light outside and a flashlight.

But even under such dim light, the eldest brother could still clearly see the person in the iron cage.

Just this one glance made him extremely surprised.

The person in the cage was maintaining a very strange posture at this time: covering his ears with his hands, closing his eyes tightly, and his whole body facing the floor.

If only one or two people made this gesture, the gatekeeper wouldn't care too much.

But at a quick glance, every piglet he saw maintained this posture.

Even some younger children posed with the help of others around them.

The posture of these people was as if they were crawling in a war zone to avoid bullets.

The gatekeeper's heart suddenly started beating fast and his right eyelid twitched, as if he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen next.

Maybe it was bad luck, my brother's ominous premonition came true.

Just above his head, from somewhere on the ceiling, something the size of a fist suddenly fell.

As luck would have it, the thing just rolled and rolled and stopped at his feet.

The eldest brother lowered his head and took a look, his eyes widening.

"Ah," he shouted in confusion, "Is this a grenade?"

Before the gatekeeper could shout, the oval-shaped "grenade" on the ground suddenly exploded right under his nose.

A flash of light several times brighter than lightning flashed by, and the brilliant white light filled every inch of vision, burning the eyeballs like a red-hot iron, making people so painful that they wanted to dig their eyeballs out.

The oldest brother who was closest to them almost went blind at that moment.

He was not blown into pieces, but was completely overturned by the invisible shock wave.

The gatekeeper fell heavily to the ground and was unable to get up for a long time. There was a squeaking sound in his ears as if two hundred geese were passing by in a line.

If he could still retain some consciousness, he would realize that what exploded at his feet was probably a stun grenade.

But unfortunately, the eldest brother was unable to think at this moment. He rolled on the ground with his hands covering his eyes, kicking his legs and screaming at the top of his lungs.

The other people around him were not much better off than him. One by one, they were lying on the ground, unable to get up, and were lying on the ground like corpses.

Xiao Li's retina was also burned, but not as seriously as the gatekeeper's. His eyeballs were bloodshot and tears were streaming, but he could still barely squint his eyes.

He saw a pair of white shoes... and someone was walking towards them, the unfortunate people lying on the ground.

who is it?

Xiao Li felt like dying in pain, but he still struggled to crawl on the ground - he crawled towards the direction where his elder brother fell, trying to pick up the pistol that the other party had dropped on the ground.

His outstretched hand was stepped on by a white shoe.

Xiao Li reluctantly raised his head and took a quick look - ah, he recognized him, it was the man who had hit him with the water pipe before.

Could it be that she was the one who threw the stun grenade?

Xiao Niao stepped on his arm that was reaching for the pistol and picked up the heavy metal object from the ground.

She was wearing a protective goggles and noise-canceling headphones, so when the stun grenade exploded, Xiao Niao was hardly affected at all.

As for those human traffickers, they were not as lucky as her.

Without any protection or preparation, they suffered the full effect of the stun grenade and were knocked down without exception.

Xiao Niao walked among these half-dead human traffickers.

She confiscated the pistol and then followed suit, taking away all the lethal weapons in the same manner.

After doing all this, she went under the vent again, reached out to catch Cat No. 4 who was jumping down, took the master key from it, and opened the locked iron cages.

Miraculously, despite everyone being in the same room, the abducted people were only minimally affected.

This is due to the fact that all of these people, at some point in time, simultaneously closed their eyes, covered their ears, and fell to the ground - this avoided most of the damage.

Except for one or two, most of the hostages were not seriously injured. It was like a miracle.

What happened after that was nothing special.

Xiao Niao released the locked-up children and instructed the ones who were in better condition to tie up the human traffickers with ropes.

These evil guys were tied up - one or two of them were not very obedient and were poked twice by Xiaoniao with an electric shock device.

Finally, Xiaoniao clicked

I counted and found that everyone was here.

She nodded with satisfaction and took the walkie-talkie from the waist of the security guard who was still screaming and shouting.

Press the button with your thumb and wait about five seconds to connect.

"Hello, is this Lao Mo?"

Xiao Niao cleared his throat.

"Okay, listen carefully—your cousin, your uncle, your third uncle, your second brother, and your eldest nephew—are all in my hands now!"

Chapter 57: Lando: Sometimes I really want to call the police

Almost half an hour has passed since Xiaoniao lost contact with them.

Officer Lan was originally very worried, fearing that if he took a wrong step, he would see the man's bloody corpse.

As a result, she got the news that Xiao Niao was still alive in a way she had never imagined.

Officer Lando looked up with a doubtful expression - she looked at the loudspeaker hanging from the beam of the factory - the kind of electric loudspeaker usually used to broadcast messages.

The horn is blaring at this moment, and the sound sounds very familiar.

"Listen up, Mr. Mo," the loudspeaker blared. "Your cousins, your uncles, your third uncle, your second brother, and your eldest nephew, your sister's daughter—all are in my hands now."

"You no longer have any hostages—I advise you to surrender immediately and stop resisting!"

Lando: “…”

Lao Mo, who was hiding in the office: "..."

Lando thought: Sometimes, when you handle a case alone, you really feel helpless.
