Ling Zhenfei bade farewell to Fatty, thinking about his farm that was currently under construction. He realized that he hadn't yet completed all the necessary paperwork. He decided to take this opportunity to settle all the paperwork in the city.

The procedures required to establish a farm were quite complex. Not only did he need to register with the Business Administration, but he also had to go to the poverty relief office and the agricultural committee to discuss and review related materials.

With the contract and various identification documents in hand, Zhenfei had been running around all morning. He was now only missing one piece of documentation from the agricultural committee.

As he cycled to the agricultural committee, he saw that next to it, a kindergarten was bustling with noise, surrounded by onlookers layered three deep inside and out. Clearly, something significant had occurred.

Out of curiosity, Zhenfei parked his bike and squeezed through to watch.

From the various discussions among the crowd, Zhenfei learned that several robbers had burst into the kindergarten and were holding hostages, preparing to negotiate with the police.

Hostages in a kindergarten?

Upon hearing this, Zhenfei's eyebrows knit together in worry. He thought to himself about the kind of robbers who would commit such an inhumane act.

Wailing…

Just as Zhenfei was preparing to take action, a burst of urgent siren sounds traveled down the street. Looking up, he saw seven or eight police cars roaring toward them.

Seeing the police cars arrive, the crowd automatically dispersed to either side, allowing the cars to drive through.

The police cars lined up in front of the kindergarten, and squads of fully armed SWAT officers jumped out. They swiftly dispersed the crowd, set up a police line, and completely surrounded the kindergarten.

"Announce to those inside not to harm the hostages!"

Han Lian stepped out of a police car, raised binoculars to observe inside the kindergarten, and furrowed her brow as she spoke to a policeman next to her.

"Yes, Captain!"

Understanding, the policeman stepped forward and loudly called into a megaphone, "Attention inside, you are surrounded. Drop your weapons and release the hostages. We assure your safety and will deal with you leniently…"

A sinister laugh echoed from inside the kindergarten, "Hehe, I'm giving you five minutes to have your boss talk directly to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for starting a killing spree!"

Hearing this voice filled with killing intent, not only did the bystanders outside the police line turn pale, but even the police officers' faces changed drastically.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Seeing the situation grow more severe, a group of SWAT officers turned their questioning gazes towards Han Lian.

Although Han Lian remained outwardly calm, her heart was surging like stormy seas. These audacious criminals were too arrogant, daring to take hostages and confront the police with guns in broad daylight!

However, the situation was critical, and she had to control her anger to prevent the criminals from acting desperately.

She stepped forward and shouted, "I am Officer Han Lian of the Binyang City Public Security Bureau's Criminal Police. As long as you don't harm the hostages, state your demands clearly!"

"Criminal Police Captain? Hmph, little girl, you're not enough to negotiate with us. Get your superior to come forward and speak!"

Upon hearing that, the disdainful voice immediately scoffed, cutting off Han Lian's words.

"This..."

Han Lian had already guessed that the real purpose of these criminals taking hostages was to blackmail.

Although angry, she still managed to maintain a calm tone, "Our superiors are not here now. However, I assure you that as long as your demands are within our authority, I will fulfill them for you!"

"Damn woman, stop wasting time! Quickly bring out your superior to negotiate." The speaking robber clearly didn't take Han Lian seriously, angrily shouting, "If you anger me, I will kill someone every minute…"

Hearing the robber's arrogant voice, along with the crying of the children inside the kindergarten, Han Lian was extremely anxious. Just as she was about to call her boss, she saw a man making his way through the crowd towards her.

"It's dangerous ahead, please do not cross the police line!"

A few SWAT officers tried to stop him, but the man laughed and pointed at Han Lian, "No rush, I'm an acquaintance of your captain. I'm here to deal with these criminals."

While the SWAT officers were still confused, Han Lian turned and, recognizing the newcomer, joy appeared on her face as she waved and shouted, "Ling Zhenfei, come over!"

Seeing the captain speak, the SWAT officers did not dare to stop him and let him through.

The man was none other than Ling Zhenfei. He walked up to Han Lian, looked at the kindergarten, and asked, "What's the situation inside?"

"There are forty-three children and five kindergarten teachers inside. There are two criminals who have corralled them all into the large conference hall on the fourth floor."

Han Lian looked worriedly at Zhenfei and said in a low voice, "Both criminals occupy advantageous positions. Our snipers have locked on to one of them. However, the other sniper is hidden, and we're not confident we can eliminate them without danger!"

"Heh, just two petty thieves, and they have made such a big deal out of this for you, Officer Han!" Although Han Lian spoke earnestly, Zhenfei was utterly straightforward in his response.

"You..."

Though Han Lian was irritated by Zhenfei's blunt words, she had to admit the situation and asked sternly, "Ling Zhenfei, what do you suggest then?"

"Don't ask me first. How do you plan to deal with them?" Zhenfei still presented himself as harmless, however, he responded with a question instead of an answer.

"These criminals are extremely vicious. I can't risk the children's lives. Now I'm going to call the bureau..."

"Cough, cough, if that's the case, then leave it to me!"

Han Lian was about to call Xia Zhengyang, but Zhenfei grinned, patted her on the shoulder, and walked into the kindergarten.

"Ling Zhenfei, you..."

Seeing Zhenfei boldly walking forward, Han Lian's heart skipped a beat, and the eyes of the other SWAT officers were also drawn to him, their nerves tightening along with him.
