Chapter 146 [Yang Wei’s Premonition] (Part 1)
It seemed to be to confirm what Yang Wei said. After the police helicopter left, it had not come back for a long time.
Everyone surrounded the window and looked downward. The police lights were flashing downstairs, and there was no idea how many onlookers were crowded on the street - of course, they were all far away from the police isolation belt.
"Today must be the craziest day in Hollywood's history." Old Bruce murmured to himself, shook his head and cursed in a low voice: "fuck!"
Another quarter of an hour passed, and some people were already anxious: "Why has the police not taken action yet? Are they not going to come and save us?"
The other two male guests who escaped with us couldn't help but start cursing the Luoshanji police in a dissatisfied tone for their slow efficiency, and said that if they escaped from the trap, they would strongly complain that the police were ineffective in their work, and at the same time, they would also sue the security department of the Torch Building!
I have no doubt that the prominent identities of these two male guests will definitely do this... But the problem is that now we are still in a prison, so these words are inevitably a bit lacking in confidence.
"Gentlemen." I looked at everyone loudly: "It's better to sit down and maintain your strength first if you walk back and forth with such a hurry! God knows when we will get out of trouble!"
The two male guests looked at me dissatisfiedly, probably a little dissatisfied with the rudeness in my tone, but Old Bruce supported me: "Chen is right, we must calm down now!"
I sneered in my heart. When there was no hope of getting out of trouble, these two guys looked timid, because they were just scared at that time, and Old Bruce and I were very calm. So they listened to us just now... And now, once there is hope of getting out of trouble, these people are starting to act like "people are the best" again.
I ignored them and sat with Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu. Yang Wei's face was still a little flushed. I found that when she was silent, her brows were slightly frowning, and there was a look on her face that seemed a little uncomfortable.
I asked her twice, but she still said she had nothing to do.
At this time, the lady who was sitting in front of the computer controlled the laptop finally shouted: "The police have news! They have contacted us!!"
Everyone immediately surrounded the computer.
"The other party gave me a website, wait... Oh, this is a video call." The lady was operating the computer quickly, turning on the built-in camera and microphone at the same time, and then turning the screen into the maximum mode.
The picture flashed a little, but then it became clear. I saw a serious white man in the picture debugging the camera, wearing a white shirt, carrying a shoulder strap, a gun holster under his armpit, and behind him was the street, and there were many busy policemen back and forth behind him. There were also lights flashing. From the sound, he was very noisy.
Then, the man in the picture looked at the screen and said loudly in a serious voice: "Hello you guys. The person in charge of the hostage rescue operation of Luoshanji police, Wen & Louis, you can call me Officer Louis! Now we are trying to find a way to rescue you, but I need to know your current specific situation..."
Before he could finish speaking, immediately, the people around the computer desk began to make a loud noise. Some asked the police when they would come to save them, while others were accusing them loudly in complaining tone...
I was impatient when I walked over and suddenly shouted: "Shut up the fuck!"
Then I pulled the two men aside with one hand, then stood in front of the computer, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! If you do this again, I will shut you up!"
The scene where I led everyone to escape in the hall and fought with the bandits at the same time left a little aftermath. The two men looked at me with an angry expression and finally stopped talking.
The lady sitting in front of the computer looked at me. I nodded to her: "Let me say it! There are so many of us, each one, and each one is a word. I can't explain it clearly."
Then I immediately said to the screen: "Officer Louis! I think the specific situation is clear when we called the police before! We now have twelve people, four ladies and eight men, one of whom was shot in the leg, but the major artery was not injured. We are currently temporarily out of control of the robbers and are hiding in the security lounge on the 62nd floor. We blocked the door with some heavy objects, and believe that the gangsters outside cannot rush in for the time being. We have no food now, only a small amount of water. This is probably the case."
"Okay, thank you!" Officer Louis's face calmed a little, and he said slowly: "I still need to confirm your identities."
I took a deep breath and said quickly: "There is no time! There are twelve of us, three of whom are the waiters here, and nine of them are the guests here! And... there is no time to confirm the time now... The laptop we are using is found in the security lounge. There is no charger. Now the computer's battery can only be maintained..." I looked at the lower right corner of the screen and smiled bitterly: "It can only last for about half an hour... So we don't have time to talk nonsense, so let's just skip those complicated procedures! I just want to ask one thing, do you have a way to rescue us from here first?"
"Sir, please believe the police are working hard!" Officer Louis said loudly: "Also, are you running out of the robbers? I need to know what's happening inside now..."
I understood this very well, and immediately said: "We were on the sixty-second floor. As I know, there were originally nineteen bandits on the sixty-second floor, all holding guns. Three of them were surveillance at the rooftop of the building. The other sixteen were distributed at the entrances and exits of the hall and the outer corridors. There were four on the corridor outside." After pausing, I thought for a moment, and said: "The original twelve bandits in the hall, when we escaped just now, I killed one of them with my own hands. In addition, two of them were injured by me and my friends, and they probably had lost their combat ability. Please consider these when you calculate the strength of the bandits... In addition, all the hostages are in the hall. Judging from their outfit, I guess they were mixed in wearing the waiter's clothes. All the weapons were brought in in the food."
I thought for a while and said, "Now that's all I can think of. If you have any questions, you can ask additional questions." I looked at the battery display on the computer screen again: "...there are twenty-eight minutes left."
"Thank you!" Officer Louis spoke with a little respect: "You are brave, sir."
Then he asked me two or three questions and checked the details of some robbers I knew. Finally, I asked: "I still want to ask, now we are here, can the police have a way to rescue us first? There is also a wounded person here... I don't know how long you will confront these bastards... Although this wounded person has been bandaged by us to stop bleeding, I think he may not last long."
"We are trying our best!" Officer Louis hesitated for a moment, and he looked at me, gritting his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I think it's better to tell the truth... OK, just now, our people tried to land on the rooftop, but the robbers' leader immediately warned us that as long as a policeman stepped onto the rooftop, he would immediately start shooting the hostages... Regardless of whether his intimidation was true or not, we can't take risks... I'm really sorry, so we can't rescue you immediately... But I suggest you stay here, because at present, your location is very safe. We will attract the attention of the bandits outside, and they should not have the energy to force the breakthrough of your door."
Sure enough...it was the same as Yang Wei expected.
Although I had already expected it, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. When the others behind heard his explanation, they were naturally even more disappointed! Some people wanted to scream and roar again, but I pressed them down with cold eyes.
"... twenty-five minutes left." I took a deep breath: "I think if we can, our conversation will end here first. In order to save power, we will turn off the call first. I suggest that we talk every half an hour and start time from now... At the same time, I hope you can send someone to stay in front of your computer at any time, because if we encounter urgent matters here, you can contact you at any time... because we have limited battery power, and you don't have such a problem."
"Okay!" Officer Louis looked at me solemnly: "Take care! We will find all ways to rescue you as soon as possible!"
Then the call was over, and I immediately switched the computer to power saving mode. After the screen became dark,
At this moment, I didn't care how the others behind me complained. I walked to Yang Wei and sighed: "Sure enough, it's the same as you thought."
Yang Wei shook her head, she frowned and thought about something, but didn't say anything.
I glanced at Jessica, she looked obviously helpless. She came with me. But it was obvious that my relationship with Yang Wei and Lei Xiaohu was closer, and we even used Chinese when we talked. Jessica sat next to her, a little at a loss.
I smiled at her: "Jess, come, sit here, we still have to keep our energy and rest."
