Chapter 567: Chapter 567

Secretary Lu didn’t go to scold him; now was not the time to deal with such matters.

He didn’t bother, but Zheng Bihui couldn’t stand it.

"Outrageous!"

Zheng Bihui rebuked him as he turned his back, "Song Guanchao, from now on, you are dismissed! Don’t come to work tomorrow, stay at home and rest!"

What the hell kind of thing is this!

A mere secretary, having made a few achievements, thinks he’s somebody?

All the most powerful leaders in the city are here, when is it your turn to butt in?

Song Guanchao stopped, turned his head, and sneered, "Mayor Zheng, you are the head of the municipal government, when is it your turn to manage the City Committee? Secretary Lu is not dead yet, and you’re thinking about seizing power? You have the nerve to dismiss me?"

Zheng Bihui was furious; he could tolerate Song Guanchao’s private disrespect.

But speaking in such a tone in front of so many people, if he didn’t do something today, the Mayor would have no face left.

"Mayor Zheng doesn’t have the qualifications, do I?" Secretary Lu said coldly, "Song Guanchao, you are dismissed."

"Oh, alright."

Song Guanchao gave him a smile, not taking it seriously at all.

Dismissal is just the removal of the current position.

It sounded intimidating but actually meant nothing at all.

Not far away, Liang Jiajia frowned as she watched, anger flickering in her beautiful eyes.

At that moment, the police officer who went to buy groceries finally returned.

Liang Jianfeng called Lu Xiaotian, "The groceries have arrived, I’m sending someone in now as per the agreement; you need to release a hostage."

"Send a woman to bring in the groceries."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jianfeng looked towards Liang Jiajia.

Among the female police officers on site, she was the only one.

"Jiajia, come here."

"Director Liang."

"Lu Xiaotian specifically asked for a woman to deliver the food; you’re the only one who can do this task. Any problem?"

"No problem!"

"Don’t be nervous, you just need to deliver the food and then bring back a hostage."

Liang Jianfeng turned to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, "Mr. Anderson, could you show me a photo of your daughter? The criminal will release a hostage later."

The couple hurriedly took out their phones; their little girl was very distinctive.

Being of mixed race, her features were very clear, instantly recognizable in a crowd.

Liang Jiajia memorized the girl’s appearance, and Secretary Lu said, "Officer Liang, you must bring Mr. Anderson’s daughter out safely!"

Liang Jiajia disliked him and responded with an emotionless grunt, avoiding further useless conversation with him.

Secretary Lu didn’t notice her mood, just assuming she was nervous facing the ferocious Lu Xiaotian.

Before entering the kindergarten, they equipped Liang Jiajia with a hidden camera to clearly see the situation inside the classroom.

She was not armed with a pistol to avoid alerting Lu Xiaotian and causing unnecessary dangers.

After all preparations were made, Liang Jiajia entered the kindergarten carrying the food.

Everyone watched anxiously.

She went through the courtyard and into the building.

They could only see her situation through the camera mounted on her chest.

After entering the building, she turned left and arrived outside the first classroom.

The door of the classroom was closed; she gently knocked, saying, "Lu Xiaotian, I’ve come to bring you food."

"Open the door yourself."

Liang Jiajia pushed the door open; inside the classroom, 26 children all sat in their places, some were crying, and the teachers were continuously comforting them.

Lu Xiaotian sat on a chair, holding a handgun.

Liu Lanzi was sitting on a chair near the window, about two or three meters away from him.

Seeing that all the children were safe, Liang Jianfeng, Secretary Lu, and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Xiaotian saw Liang Jiajia, he licked his lips, clearly not expecting such a beautiful police woman.

"Put the food down."

Liang Jiajia set down the food and said, "As per the agreement, you need to release a hostage."

Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, "Pick one yourself."

Liang Jiajia turned her head and scanned the group of toddlers, and immediately spotted the mixed-race little girl.

She walked over, picked up the little girl, but just as she turned to leave, Lu Xiaotian suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Liang Jiajia’s body tensed as Lu Xiaotian said, "Switch her for someone else!"

These words made Secretary Lu and others feel their hearts drop to the bottom.

This guy seemed to have noticed something.

"You said you’d release one hostage!"

"Sure, but I didn’t say who," Lu Xiaotian sneered. "This little girl is mixed-race, right? Fine, put her down and pick someone else quickly and scram."

"You..."

"Don’t fucking waste my time, put her down, or I’ll start shooting!"

Lu Xiaotian raised his gun at her.

Liang Jiajia pursed her lips, not daring to speak further for fear of angering him.

She had no choice but to put down the little girl and pick up another nearby little girl and leave the classroom.

Outside the kindergarten, Secretary Lu and the others were in despair.

They had missed the best chance for a rescue.

Moreover, Lu Xiaotian had spotted the anomaly.

This mixed-race child would undoubtedly receive Lu Xiaotian’s focused attention.

Liang Jiajia, holding the child, came out and said, "Director Liang, Lu Xiaotian refuses to release that little girl."

"Take the child to the police station."

Director Liang came over and said, "The mission failed."

Secretary Lu’s face turned dark, remaining silent.

The Anderson couple witnessed all of this.

They had thought their daughter could be rescued, but now she could not only not be saved, but the kidnapper had even targeted their daughter.

At that moment, Liang Jianfeng’s phone rang, Lu Xiaotian was calling again.

"Lu Xiaotian’s call," Liang Jianfeng explained briefly before answering and turning on speakerphone.

"Lu Xiaotian, what do you want?"

"What is the identity of this mixed-race child’s parents?"

Indeed, the guy had started to suspect.

Liang Jianfeng said, "Her father works for a foreign corporation."

"Liang Jianfeng, don’t try to fool me. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll end her now!"

Liang Jianfeng clenched his jaw and looked towards Secretary Lu.

Secretary Lu dared not speak.

If he did, there was no telling what excessive demands Lu Xiaotian would make.

Lu Xiaotian said, "Let the girl’s parents talk on the phone."

Liang Jianfeng said, "Her parents aren’t here..."

"LIANG JIANFENG!" Lu Xiaotian rebuked. "Do you really think I won’t shoot? Fine, I’ll kill one right now!"

"Don’t shoot!" Liang Jianfeng hurriedly said, "Her father was a former ambassador at the British Embassy."

Lu Xiaotian’s eyes lit up. "Let her father talk!"

Secretary Lu nodded.

Liang Jianfeng handed over the phone, and Anderson took it: "Release my daughter!"

Lu Xiaotian said, "I can release someone, but you have to do something for me."

Anderson thought the other party wanted money: "How much money do you want?"

"I don’t want money, I want asylum," Liang Jianfeng said. "Help me contact the British Embassy. I want the embassy to provide me political asylum!"

"I’m no longer an ambassador. I don’t have the power..."

"I’m not asking you; I’m informing you. If you can’t do it, prepare to collect your daughter’s body."

Anderson nearly smashed the phone in anger.

At that moment, Hu Zhengrong came over and said, "Director Liang, the military has recommended someone."

"Recommended?" Liang Jianfeng said. "Haven’t you contacted a sniper yet?"

Hu Zhengrong sighed. "I just got the Nanjiang Military District Committee Secretary’s phone."

Liang Jianfeng knew the military had many regulations, suppressed his emotions, and asked, "Who did they recommend?"

Hu Zhengrong glanced at Secretary Lu and said, "Song Guanchao."
