"If so, please be sure to trust the police. We guarantee that we will bring the children out safely!"
Old Director: "..."
Alright, I was worrying about how to explain our plan to harbor a fugitive, but you've already come up with an excuse for me...
Turning to look at a police car in the distance, several armed police officers were indeed getting out and lowering their bodies, dispersing in different directions to find suitable high ground for setting up sniper positions.
Right under the spy leader's nose of the Night Demon Clan, everything was proceeding according to someone's script. Human forces were openly surrounding the orphanage...
The situation was urgent, leaving the old director little space to think.
Seeing these fully armed humans at that moment, she made a certain decision...
"Officer, can you... can you really guarantee the children's safety? I am an old woman; it doesn't matter to me, but the children are innocent, they have a bright future!"
Fear, worry, guilt...
The old director's acting was on point, crazily shedding tears.
The surrounding area was under police siege, and snipers on standby...
At this point, unless everyone on the scene is killed and all recording equipment destroyed, even one slip, and the orphanage would be completely exposed, possibly even alerting humans to this group of different beings.
To take such a big strategic risk for an insignificant pawn, she expressed that a wise person would not do so.
Thus, Zhao Hu, who had just become a pawn, was immediately considered a discarded piece...
With Chu Tian's repeated assurance, the old director was tearful.
"Officer, please ensure the children's safety and bring the criminal to justice!"
...
[Officer, please ensure the children's safety and bring the criminal to justice...]
Within the orphanage.
Hidden among a group of somewhat panicked children, a little girl's ears slightly moved. Upon hearing these words from the old director, she instantly understood the decision of the other party.
Protect the orphanage, abandon Zhao Hu!
Immediately, she didn't hesitate; her small mouth slightly opened, and invisible ripples instantly spread out...
"Roar~"
The next moment, from deep within the orphanage's building, came a sound like a beast's roar.
"Boom!" Amidst flying wood chips, a robust figure suddenly burst through the old wooden door of the building.
"What?!"
"Bang!" A police officer stationed inside the orphanage hadn't reacted to what was happening and was hit by the figure, flying out.
With red eyes, Zhao Hu appeared insane, smashing through the barricading officer and charging straight toward the group of terrified children nearby...
...
"This is bad! We've been exposed!" Hearing the commotion, Chu Tian and his team suddenly looked alarmed.
"Damn it, how did they find out? We were so careful..."
Chu Tian took the earpiece passed to him by his teammate, quickly heading toward the disturbance.
"You damn cops, don't come closer. Anyone who does, I'll strangle her!" Zhao Hu was intensely furious, his voice overly hoarse.
When everyone arrived, they saw this scene.
Zhao Hu was hiding in a corner, clutching that little girl!
The little girl looked terrified, her face flushed from lack of breath due to being choked around the neck.
"Zhao Hu, you are surrounded. I advise you not to resist desperately. Let go of the girl, and we'll guarantee your safety!"
All officers had drawn their guns, surrounding him in the corner, but fearing collateral damage, they dared not approach.
"Captain, be careful. The opponent has excellent skills and unbelievably strong power."
The "officer" who was just knocked flying saw Chu Tian and his group arrive, rubbing his aching chest, showing his teeth and grimacing.
"I don't believe you damn cops; everyone back off and give me a car, or I'll kill her now!"
"Damn it! The plan is completely disrupted! How exactly were we exposed?"
"Now's not the time to discuss that, can the sniper eliminate the fugitive?" Chu Tian asked in a low voice.
[Zzz~ No problem, please confirm whether to eliminate?]
"Elim..."
However, before the order was complete, Zhao Hu, by chance, retreated two steps further into the corner, holding the little girl in front of him.
[Zzz~ The target is in a blind shooting angle, unable to find a shooting angle temporarily~ Zzz~]
Listening to the voice from the earpiece, Chu Tian's expression became even more tense.
"Xiao Yu... Xiao Yu!"
At this moment, the old director, trembling, was supported by Ning Shisan and arrived late, looked tense upon seeing the scene.
"Xiao Yu, don't be afraid, Grandma is coming to save you."
"Old lady, don't get close, it's dangerous!"
"Everyone back off! Hurry and prepare a car for me, or I'll kill her now!"
The scene suddenly descended into chaos.
However, in the midst of the chaos...
"Pfft!"
After a slightly muffled gunshot, Zhao Hu's threatening shouting abruptly stopped...
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the blood hole on Zhao Hu's forehead.
Zhao Hu also widened his bloodshot eyes, the expression fierce, never realizing what happened until his death...
"Bang!" As the corpse slowly collapsed, everyone was awakened.
"Damn it! Didn't you say there was no angle?" Chu Tian cursed into the earpiece.
[Hehe! Captain, I just found one.]
"You son of a... well done!" Chu Tian laughed and cursed at the same time.
Looking at the fallen Zhao Hu, the corners of the old director's mouth twitched slightly.
Though determined to not expose the assassins' abnormal abilities, to avoid raising further police suspicion, this caused Zhao Hu to be shackled despite his skills.
