Official Career Storm
Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Chapter 525

The other party specifically demanded Yao Jinsheng to replace the hostage.

Clearly, in their eyes, only Yao Jinsheng, the head of the Police Department, was qualified to replace the hostage.

Director Jia said, "I am the head of the Inspection Bureau, and my rank is higher than Yao Jinsheng’s..."

"Higher my ass. What Inspection Bureau? Never even heard of it. Go away!"

"..." Director Jia was both angry and furious, while Guan Chao couldn’t help but snicker from a distance.

The head of the Inspection Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, being ignored just like that.

But it was also normal, as most people had never even heard of this department and wouldn’t realize how prestigious Director Jia’s position was.

Director Jia was so insulted that he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

He could only look towards Director Qin, who felt tingles in his scalp under his gaze.

Damn it, I don’t want to be the hostage.

He immediately grabbed his phone and said, "I’m calling Yao Jinsheng over!"

"..." Director Jia’s face twitched again. I wanted you to go exchange for Lu Xiaotian!

Director Qin acted as if he saw nothing.

It was impossible for him to be the hostage.

The other side had guns!

What if they really started shooting, would I still be alive?

All for a Lu Xiaotian, I must be out of my mind.

Guan Chao frowned from the side.

Yao Jinsheng probably wouldn’t come.

That guy was all set to run away; by now, he was probably packed and ready to leave.

He quickly stepped out of the factory and dialed Captain Hu’s number.

"Captain Hu, has Yao Jinsheng run away?"

"He just got downstairs; he seems to be planning his escape... Wait, he’s on the phone."

"It’s a call from Director Qin. There’s been a situation."

Guan Chao briefly explained the situation to him and finally said, "After he finishes the call, go directly there and bring him over."

He absolutely couldn’t be allowed to escape, otherwise, we won’t be able to exchange for Lu Xiaotian.

"Got it, I understand."

On this end,

Yao Jinsheng felt slightly relieved when he received the call.

He had just left the station and hadn’t gotten into the car when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That was the captain of the Lingjiang City criminal police squad, Hu Yaodong.

Yao Jinsheng’s skin tightened, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Captain Hu, what are you doing here?"

"Director Yao, there’s been an incident at the factory. Lu Xiaotian has been taken hostage at gunpoint, and they’re specifically asking for you to go in exchange for him."

"Oh, I’ve received the call and was just about to head over."

"Then let’s go."

Captain Hu thought to himself, you were probably planning to escape.

He then called two other officers to accompany Yao Jinsheng into the car, sitting in the back while Captain Hu drove.

Seeing this, Yao Jinsheng knew they were worried about him running away.

That was good; it meant they hadn’t suspected him.

Captain Hu drove fiercely. A journey of over twenty minutes was completed in under fifteen.

Stopping the car, Captain Hu opened the door.

Yao Jinsheng deliberately showed tension.

Entering the factory and seeing the handcuffed ruffians squatting against the wall and the armed police blocking the door, Yao Jinsheng knew his chance to perform had arrived.

If he seized it, he could at least delay being caught.

Director Jia came over to him and relayed the gunman’s demands.

Yao Jinsheng didn’t immediately agree; with his personality, he definitely would be afraid, panic-stricken.

He appeared very hesitant, and Director Jia noticed.

"Director Yao, they’ve specifically named you to go up. This is a great chance to earn a merit!"

"Earn a merit... but I have to be alive to receive it."

His murmur was heard by Director Jia: "Director Yao, what kind of attitude is that?"

"No, it’s nothing... I’ll do it, okay?"

Yao Jinsheng clenched his teeth. Director Jia’s expression softened a bit, and he stuffed a handgun into his hand: "If there’s danger, you can immediately shoot the suspect!"

Yao Jinsheng grimaced and said, "Director Jia, maybe I shouldn’t take the gun. If the other side sees me with a gun, I’m afraid he’ll just shoot me."

Director Jia said sternly, "You’re the director, have some confidence!"

Yao Jinsheng had no choice but to tuck the gun into the back of his waistband.

Song Guanchao watched from the side.

He actually felt a bit strange.

Mainly, the timing of this event was too coincidental.

Just today, as they arrested Lu Xiaotian, a sworn enemy came knocking, and the timing seemed too perfect, didn’t it?

But up to now, he just found it strange.

After all, it was possible for something like this to happen since Lu Xiaotian indeed had many enemies.

Yao Jinsheng steeled himself with quite a bit of psychological preparation before he took a deep breath and walked inside.

He arrived at the door and said, "I’m Yao Jinsheng, I’m coming in now!"

"Put your hands up, and then slowly kick the door open."

Yao Jinsheng complied, raised his hands, and pushed the door open with his foot.

Seeing Lu Xiaotian being held at gunpoint, Yao Jinsheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was playing the part convincingly.

He walked in and said loudly, "Let him go, take me as the hostage."

"Lift up your clothes, let me see if you’re carrying a gun."

Outside, Director Jia and others heard this and immediately tensed up.

This man was too cautious, even considering this aspect.

Director Jia immediately took a gun from his subordinate and stealthily peeked out half a head, trying to observe the situation inside through the window.

But the man had pulled the curtains shut, and nothing could be seen.

Director Jia felt somewhat anxious, considering whether to immediately storm in.

But just then, an angry shout came from inside, "Damn, you dare to bring a gun!"

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, followed by Yao Jinsheng’s scream.

However, the next second, a series of gunshots erupted.

By the time Director Jia and the others rushed into the office, the man holding Lu Xiaotian hostage was already lying in a pool of blood, eyes wide open, dead with resentment.

And Yao Jinsheng, with one arm shot, was holding a gun in his hand, still in the position of firing.

His face was full of shock and fear.

Lu Xiaotian sat on the ground, looking at the corpse beside him, also plunged into extreme terror.

Dead?

How could he be dead?

Wasn’t it agreed to just shoot the arm?

You damn well didn’t say anything about shooting to kill!

A chill ran down Lu Xiaotian’s spine.

At the doorway, Song Guanchao watched this scene and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The plan today was to arrest Yao Jinsheng.

But now, damn it, he’s a hero.

This made things difficult.

"Quick, take Director Yao to the hospital!"

Director Jia took his gun down and assisted the somewhat dazed Yao Jinsheng out and into a car.

Captain Hu drove the car.

Captain Hu was also bewildered.

What the hell was going on?

How did this guy become a hero?

Wu Qiangwei was just as furrowed in concern.

Song Guanchao reacted quickly and immediately found Zhou Qian: "Turn off the cameras."

"Oh, right."

"Keep this video secure when we get back, and don’t leak it."

"Yes, okay."

Zhou Qian didn’t know they were supposed to arrest Yao Jinsheng, but she agreed to Song Guanchao’s request without question.

Song Guanchao then came over and pulled Director Jia and Director Qin aside, informing them of the original plan for the day.

When they learned that Yao Jinsheng was planning to flee today and that they had prepared to arrest him, both were shocked.

Song Guanchao said, "Director Jia, let’s not mention Yao Jinsheng in today’s report for now."

Director Jia turned his head to see so many policemen present and shook his head, "We can’t just write anything in the report."

With so many witnesses, it was impossible to deny Yao Jinsheng’s merits.

Song Guanchao said, "It’s not about writing just anything, it’s about writing it later. His merits will not be ignored. But how to deal with him, the city needs to hold a meeting to decide."
