Chapter 569: Chapter 569

Authority...

Liang Jianfeng couldn’t make the decision and looked towards Secretary Lu.

Secretary Lu asked, "Do you have a suggestion?"

"Yes."

Song Guanchao said, "Draw Lu Xiaotian out, and leave the rest to me."

Secretary Lu said, "Even if he comes out, he will take hostages."

Song Guanchao said, "Let him take the hostages, as long as he comes out, that’s enough."

"What will you do?"

"Shoot, kill."

"..."

This statement made everyone present’s heart tremble thrice.

Hu Zhengrong said from the side, "Secretary Song, do you know where the nearby sniping points are?"

"Yes, the rooftop of the residential building that is three hundred seventy meters to the left of the kindergarten. I am right here now."

Song Guanchao couldn’t possibly just stand aside.

Even if discharged by Lu Zhizhong, he would still find his own way to rescue Liu Lanzi and those children.

Even the special police and armed police present could instantly determine the best sniping point. Given his expertise, it was even easier for him.

He was now on the rooftop, with the sniper and observer warily looking back at him.

The crowd was astonished to learn that he was already at the sniper’s location.

This guy, it seemed like he had made up his mind long ago?

Hu Zhengrong said, "Three hundred seventy meters, and it’s still night. Even if Lu Xiaotian comes out, you only have one chance. And he will definitely use hostages to shield himself; are you sure you can hit the target?"

Secretary Lu sternly said, "Song Guanchao, this is no joke!"

Song Guanchao said, "Since Secretary Lu has called me, there are no better options. You can only bet, bet on my impeccable shooting skills, a shot to kill!"

"Oh, by the way, I would like to remind Secretary Lu, if I fail to hit the target and there are casualties, you will bear the responsibility."

"Lu Xiaotian is still eating. I estimate there is at least half an hour, Secretary Lu, you can take your time to think. When you’re ready, call me."

Song Guanchao hung up his phone and said to the sniper and the observer looking back at him, "Let me take a look at the gun."

The sniper frowned, "Who are you?"

"Secretary to Secretary Wu of the City Committee, Song Guanchao."

Song Guanchao glanced at his watch and said, "In a few minutes, you will receive a call from your superior. The superior will tell you on the phone to hand over the gun in your hands to me and obey my command."

"Then you will see an armored vehicle drive into the kindergarten, and Lu Xiaotian will take hostages out of the kindergarten and get on the vehicle."

"When he walks out of the kindergarten and his figure is exposed, you will see through the scope a 12.7mm caliber bullet traveling at 820 meters per second piercing through Lu Xiaotian’s forehead, his back of the head will burst open like a watermelon."

The sniper and observer were dumbfounded.

...

Secretary Lu was struggling.

Whether to agree to Song Guanchao.

Whether to hand over the command to him.

Song Guanchao had already stated the action plan, which was alarmingly simple.

Lead him out, then shoot.

But, can he hit the target?

Nearly four hundred meters away, and it was a night with obstructed light.

If he doesn’t hit, or if the shot is off...

Song Guanchao had said, regardless of the outcome, the responsibility would be his, Lu Zhizhong’s to bear.

Zheng Bihui remained silent, Jiang Yuan also kept quiet, Director Qin tried his best to make himself invisible, not trying to draw any attention.

This decision, in the end, had to be made by him, Lu Zhizhong!

Just as Song Guanchao said, there was plenty of time.

He lit a cigarette, undisturbed by anyone.

No one could make the decision for him, not even giving any advice.

They did not want to touch any bit of responsibility.

Inside the security zone, there weren’t many people.

Outside the security zone, the number of onlookers continued to grow.

Traffic police were directing traffic, but the roads were still completely blocked.

Apart from Lin Wanqiu and Zhou Qian, many media people had arrived and were filming from the outside.

The noisy noises made Lu Zhizhong feel very irritable.

He dialed Song Guanchao’s number again, "How confident are you?"

"I don’t know."

"Huh," Lu Zhizhong suddenly laughed, "From now on, the command is yours."

"Okay."

Song Guanchao said, "Let Director Liang take the call."

Liang Jianfeng took the phone, "This is Liang Jianfeng."

"Director Liang, when Lu Xiaotian calls later, agree to any demands he makes and lure him out."

"Okay."

"Have Hu Zhengrong contact the sniper and have them coordinate with me."

"Okay."

The call ended.

Within two seconds, the sniper received a call from Hu Zhengrong.

As Song Guanchao had instructed, Hu Zhengrong told them to cooperate with Song Guanchao.

They handed over the gun.

Song Guanchao held it with one hand, caressing the ice-cold blackness of the gun, as if touching a woman’s delicate skin.

"QBU201 high-precision sniper rifle, huh, the Armed Police Department’s equipment is this sophisticated now?"

...

At 8:21 PM, Lu Xiaotian called again.

"Let the ambassador come to the phone."

"This is Anderson."

"Have you contacted the embassy?"

"I have contacted them. We can indeed offer political asylum, but you must genuinely be persecuted. If there is no persecution experience, we can’t provide you protection."

"Just get me into the embassy, don’t worry about the rest."

"Okay."

"Fine, give the phone to Liang Jianfeng."

"This is Liang Jianfeng."

"Provide a blast-resistant vehicle and have that young female officer wait for me at the door."

"Okay."

"Liang Jianfeng, don’t play tricks with me. I know you’ve arranged for a sniper. I’m not afraid. I have a bomb on me. You can try to see who’s faster, the sniper or me detonating the bomb."

Liang Jianfeng’s heart sank, "We will cooperate with you."

"Heh, good to know."

The call ended, and Liang Jianfeng said, "Lu Xiaotian has a bomb strapped to him."

Secretary Lu frowned, "His words are not credible!"

They had been deceived once before and wouldn’t believe just a few oral words.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaotian suddenly sent a photo.

The photo was a selfie of Lu Xiaotian.

Under his short-sleeved T-shirt, bulging and from the lifted T-shirt, one could see red and green wires and cylindrical items resembling detonators.

Seeing this photo, Secretary Lu’s pupils contracted sharply.

This time, he wasn’t lying.

He really did have a bomb strapped to him.

"Contact Song Guanchao!"

Liang Jianfeng immediately got in touch with him.

"A bomb?" Song Guanchao frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

Song Guanchao pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Proceed with the original plan, lure him out, leave the rest to me!"

Even if he had a bomb, he still needed to be alive to press the detonation switch.

A single shot and his brain would be dead.

Over a distance of more than three hundred meters, from the sound of the gunfire to the bullet piercing his head, it was almost synchronous.

His neural reaction speed couldn’t support him pressing the button in such a short time.

Song Guanchao took the sniper’s walkie-talkie and hung the earpiece on his ear.

Through the walkie-talkie, he could communicate with Liang Jianfeng.

Twenty minutes later, a blast-resistant vehicle arrived.

Liang Jianfeng dialed Lu Xiaotian’s phone, "The blast-resistant vehicle has arrived."
