The Middle Eastern gentleman went downstairs just as Xiao Lin entered the sewer, seeing that the entire first floor was vacant, he knew something had happened. However, he wasn’t enraged or blamed Murong Lengyue, who followed behind. He simply turned his head, smiled faintly, and said to Murong Lengyue, "This is becoming more and more entertaining!"
Murong Lengyue frowned slightly and said, "I only brought one bodyguard who is in the conference room on the fourth floor!" Murong Lengyue was indeed a bit afraid that the Middle Eastern gentleman might vent his anger on her. Although she didn’t know what happened downstairs, seeing no one here and the blood stain in a corner of the bank lobby, she looked calm on the surface but was truly shocked inside.
The Middle Eastern gentleman managed to smile and said, "I’m not blaming you, why are you nervous?"
Murong Lengyue glanced at the Middle Eastern gentleman and remained silent.
"Didn’t expect there was an expert hidden here, this is really getting more fun, back to the fourth floor!" The Middle Eastern gentleman said, turning around, and the eight subordinates behind him stepped aside, letting the Middle Eastern gentleman go first.
The Middle Eastern gentleman naturally had a plan; capturing Murong Lengyue was not the real purpose. Now, his four subordinates on the first floor were wiped out discreetly, without even gunshots, indicating it was done by an expert. The Middle Eastern gentleman wouldn’t credit the useless police outside with taking out his subordinates. To him, although hundreds of SWAT and armed police surrounded outside, they’re merely decorations, with no real combat power.
Judging by this, the expert in the bank was definitely a Dragon Soul member. It seems the information is true, the Dragon Soul Military Doctor has indeed arrived in this city.
The Middle Eastern gentleman leisurely returned to the conference room on the fourth floor. At this time, the people inside were just about to come out. When he took Murong Lengyue out earlier, they didn’t dare to act immediately, fearing he might change his mind, which would be counterproductive. Now, the Middle Eastern gentleman truly returned, leaving everyone stunned, thinking could they really be so unlucky?
"Sorry, there’s a small problem, looks like everyone will have to stay here and watch a show with me!" The Middle Eastern gentleman remained with his signature gentlemanly smile.
However, in the eyes of these hostages, it was the smile of a demon, an absolute demon.
And Young Master Wu, seeing Murong Lengyue returned unharmed, felt less conflicted.
At this moment, Wu Shuang had already understood the situation outside through a phone call, and informed Director Lin about the situation here.
When Xiao Lin returned to the bank lobby, the Middle Eastern gentleman was just returning to the fourth floor, the two did not encounter each other. Not far away, Hua Qingyi led eight Sharp Sword Special Brigade members swiftly approaching.
Due to Xiao Lin’s authorization at this moment, Director Lin was still the overall commander of the outside command system, although the newly arrived Deputy Team Leader of the Armed Police Brigade and Captain of the Explosive-Control SWAT Team Guo Ziqiang had a Major General rank, half a rank higher than Director Lin. However, because Director Lin had authorization from the Dragon Soul Military Doctor, Guo Ziqiang dared not make decisions on his own.
Especially after the appearance of Hua Qingyi from the Hua family, which was a giant in Yanjing, and even in all of Huaxia, belonging to the top-tier circle. Guo Ziqiang and Director Lin’s levels, mixing in Yanjing City, naturally recognized Hua Qingyi.
Having acquaintances around, Hua Qingyi found things a lot easier, especially with the Yanjing Sharp Sword Special Brigade. Hua Qingyi had participated in Dragon Soul’s assessments from Sharp Sword and advanced into it. Hua Qingyi was considered a legendary figure in Sharp Sword, so these special forces certainly wouldn’t disobey him.
"Lao Lin, you hit the jackpot!" Guo Ziqiang was somewhat envious of Director Lin, not only supported by Dragon Soul members but also with the eldest from the Hua family showing up. Despite the rumors of the Hua family’s eldest being ousted from Dragon Soul, the Hua family was still a dominating presence in Yanjing. Director Lin, with either relationship, wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.
"Luck? Why do I feel like you’re mocking me? You should know there’s Murong Lengyue among the hostages, if it’s not handled well..." Director Lin whispered back, feeling a mix of pride, but mostly concern. Just now, Wu Shuang relayed the situation from the fourth floor. The opponents are heavily armed, holding significant hostages. Murong Lengyue, the world’s top female billionaire and philanthropist, if she encounters mishaps in Huaxia, the impact is beyond Director Lin’s capacity to handle, even the Yanjing Municipal Committee and government don’t have the ability to bear this.
"There are two Dragon Soul members inside, don’t worry!" Guo Ziqiang admired Dragon Soul even more. He had participated in Dragon Soul’s assessments years ago but couldn’t even pass the first round, illustrating the high standards of Dragon Soul’s selection. Among the known individuals, wherever Dragon Soul appeared, nothing couldn’t be settled.
"But, why hasn’t the opponent proposed any conditions despite holding such important hostages?" Director Lin was puzzled.
Hua Qingyi stepped into the lobby energetically, feeling very excited. Over the past two years, he never let go of Dragon Soul even for a moment. During his time away from Dragon Soul, Hua Qingyi never gave up on the basic training learned at Dragon Soul. With the financial power and influence of the Hua family, obtaining a set of Dragon Soul’s basic training was still doable. However, these basic trainings, for ordinary people, were merely unattainable dreams. Even if others knew how such training went, they lacked the aptitude and ability to learn.
"Brother!" Hua Qingyi called excitedly. Meeting Xiao Lin on the battlefield felt entirely different from usual, especially knowing he was about to return to Dragon Soul.
"You’re here!" Xiao Lin smiled slightly.
"Come here, guys, let me introduce you. This is the Dragon Soul Military Doctor, and in Dragon Soul, we call him the Guardian!" Hua Qingyi said to the eight Sharp Sword Special Forces.
Xiao Lin glanced at these special forces; each possessed a fierce aura, indicating considerable combat experience. These are the teammates he needed, and only such teammates could neutralize this crisis.
"Greetings, General!" Though the eight Sharp Sword Special Forces admired Dragon Soul, they kept it hidden in their hearts, not daring to show fan-like expressions, especially since they were here for a mission, not a private meeting.
"Hmm, very good!" Xiao Lin nodded approvingly. Although these teammates were slightly weaker in strength, they should suffice to deal with those robbers individually.
"Brother, what do we need to do now?" After introductions, Hua Qingyi directly asked Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin, already confident, replied, "Follow me!" With that, he strode upstairs.
Yesterday he helped his uncle harvest rice for six hours, carrying and hauling, then attended an elderly villager’s birthday banquet, returning utterly exhausted, indulged in laziness. Today, he’s posting three Chapters to make up for yesterday’s deficit!
