My Sexy CEO Wife

16  Chapter 16: Sense of Justice

The police and the robbers refused to give in, and the scene suddenly became a deadlock.

"Bang!"

In the end, the robbers couldn't help themselves and fired a shot, but their target was not the police outside, but the sales staff inside the jewelry store.

A salesperson fell into a pool of blood, shot in the chest, with blood gushing out, clearly beyond saving.

"Bastards!" Liu Mengyao, holding the megaphone, trembled with fury. These robbers were so arrogant, daring to kill in front of the police! It was utterly lawless! Not only was Liu Mengyao angry, but the other officers were also filled with righteous indignation.

"Listen up, cops outside, retreat immediately, or we'll kill all the hostages!" the robbers yelled.

"What should we do?" Liu Mengyao turned her head to look at the captain standing behind her, Song Minghui.

Song Minghui's brows were tightly furrowed. "To ensure the safety of the hostages... we can only temporarily retreat..." Sometimes being a police officer really felt powerless, having to consider too many things.

"No! We can't retreat!" Liu Mengyao shook her head vigorously. "If we retreat, the robbers inside will take the chance to escape from the scene, and it will be harder to catch them!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" asked Song Minghui with a wry smile. "The robbers are extremely vicious. If we don't retreat, they will surely continue to kill hostages."

At that moment, the robbers inside the jewelry store started shouting again: "I'm counting to three. If you haven't retreated by then, I'll start killing people! One, two..."

"Wait!" Liu Mengyao shouted loudly. "You release these sales staff! I'll be your hostage!"

"Liu Mengyao, don't be reckless!" Song Minghui's face changed.

Liu Mengyao ignored Song Minghui and kept talking to the robbers: "You can't keep an eye on so many hostages, and they're of average social status, which won't be much of a bargaining chip. I'm different; I'm a police officer! My father and my brother are high-ranking officials. If you take me as a hostage, the police outside won't dare to hurt you!"

"Liu Mengyao, shut up!!!" Song Minghui was desperate. "Someone, pull Liu Mengyao down!"

"Swoosh!"

Liu Mengyao threw down the megaphone and directly dashed into the jewelry store, where she was then subdued by the robbers.

"It's over... we're done for..." Song Minghui swayed, almost fainting; Liu Mengyao was under special protection by direct orders from senior leaders. If anything happened to her, he could kiss his position as captain goodbye, and he might even be dismissed.

Standing in the distance, Gao Fei saw everything unfold before his eyes and nodded secretly: Liu Mengyao really had a sense of justice! She risked her life alone to ensure the safety of the hostages; it was rare indeed.

...

Inside the jewelry store.

Five masked men surrounded Liu Mengyao and laughed heartily.

"This chick is quite a beauty!"

"Look at that face, that figure... she's absolutely supreme grade!"

"We're in luck today, boys, we get to enjoy ourselves!"

The five men laughed together.

"I'm already in here, can you release those sales staff now?" asked Liu Mengyao coldly.

"Don't rush," smiled one bald man. "Once the police outside have fully retreated, I'll release these hostages. As for you... heh... I'll take you with me and you can warm my bed." As he spoke, the bald man reached out to touch Liu Mengyao's face. "Tsk, tsk, I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life."

"The police are coming in!" Liu Mengyao suddenly shouted.

"What?" The five masked men were startled and hurriedly turned to look at the doorway. The police were standing obediently outside, not rushing in at all. Damn, they were tricked! By the time the five men realized it, it was already too late.

"Bang!"

Liu Mengyao leapt high, swiftly kicking twice, then threw a punch, knocking three of the men to the ground on the spot. The remaining two men realized something was wrong and tried to shoot, "Swoosh!" Liu Mengyao threw her phone, striking a man right in the temple. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the floor. "Boom!" The last man fired his gun, but missed Liu Mengyao.

"Whoosh!"

Liu Mengyao swiftly circled behind the man and clenched her fists, smashing down hard on the back of the man's neck.

"Ugh..."

The last man moaned in pain and then fell to the ground.

Liu Mengyao wiped the sweat from her forehead. That was too close for comfort; she had nearly died! The reason she had gone in was to take the robbers by surprise and subdue them. Now, it seemed she had succeeded.

Just as she was about to call her colleagues to come in and capture the robbers, something unexpected happened.

"Don't move!" A man's cold voice came from behind. "Make one wrong move, and I'll kill her!"

Liu Mengyao slowly turned around and saw a man in a jewelry store uniform holding a dagger to a female sales clerk's neck. Liu Mengyao's face sank immediately; despite all her calculations, she had not anticipated that another robber was still hidden inside the jewelry store.

Too careless!

A grave miscalculation!

This had turned into a dire situation!

"Throw the gun away! Now! Throw it!!" the man with the dagger bellowed angrily, "Do it now, or I'll kill her!!!"

*SMACK!*

Under the man's threat, Liu Mengyao could only throw the pistol she had snatched from the bandit onto the ground, having the responsibility and obligation as a police officer to ensure the safety of the hostages.

"Get up, all of you! A bunch of useless trash!" The man yelled at the five bandits lying on the ground: "Lucky I was prepared with a backup plan, otherwise, we'd all be done for today!" By the tone of this man, he seemed to be the leader of these bandits. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The five bandits struggled to their feet, each with a bruised face and unsteady steps, looking extremely wretched.

"You stinking woman, how dare you plot against us!" A bald brute charged at Liu Mengyao and aimed a kick at her.

Liu Mengyao dodged swiftly, avoiding the bald brute's attack.

"Oh, you dare to dodge!" Just as the bald brute was about to pursue her, he was stopped by the man with the dagger.

"Enough! No more messing around!" The man with the dagger snapped, "Hurry up and negotiate with the cops outside. Tell them to pull out within a minute, or else I'll kill all the hostages in here!"

"Yes." The bald man complied and then went to the door to start negotiating with the police, showing that he was very afraid of the man with the dagger.

"Tie up this female cop!" the man with the dagger ordered, "Tie her up tight. This female cop is highly skilled; we absolutely cannot give her another chance to fight back." Saying this, the man with the dagger glared at Liu Mengyao, who was seething with anger, "You'd better not resist, or else I will kill these hostages!"

Two brutes approached and used the rope they had prepared to tie up Liu Mengyao.

Liu Mengyao's expression was darkly ominous, knowing... her situation was extremely dangerous, and if she didn't find a way to save herself soon... the consequences would be unimaginable...

At this moment, the bald brute returned from negotiating with the police, "Big Brother, the cops outside have agreed to withdraw."

"Hurry up and pack, as soon as the police have pulled out, we'll leave immediately," the man with the dagger said, and then added, "Take this female cop with us. She might prove very useful in a crunch." The man with the dagger liked to have contingency plans, and it was because of his caution that he had evaded capture time and again.

"Big Brother, the police have left," the bald man, continually scanning the outside, reported urgently to his leader when he saw that all the police had retreated.

"Let's go!" The man with the dagger stood up, pushing Liu Mengyao towards the door, with the other five brutes following behind.

After leaving the jewelry store, the gang boarded a van that they had prepared in advance.

The man with the dagger pushed Liu Mengyao down onto the seat and then placed the dagger against her fair neck, saying viciously, "You'd better behave yourself. If I find you making any sudden move, I will cut your throat and send you to serve the King of Hell!"

"Hmph!" Liu Mengyao turned her head away, completely ignoring the man with the dagger.

"Drive! Let's get out of here!" the man with the dagger ordered.

"Aye," the bald brute started the engine quickly and drove the van towards the exit. Once they were out of the city, they wouldn't have to fear the police pursuit anymore.

...

Several hundred meters away.

A group of police were huddled together, discussing their strategy.

"We must rescue Liu Mengyao!" exclaimed Song Minghui, the captain of the criminal investigation team, "If anything happens to Liu Mengyao, we'll all be  disciplinary action!"

"Block all the intersections, we cannot let the bandits escape!"

"We don't have enough manpower..."

"Call headquarters, ask them to send reinforcements! In short, no matter the cost, we have to rescue Liu Mengyao!"

"Yes!"

Policemen immediately began contacting headquarters, requesting backup.

Song Minghui looked in the direction of the departing van, feeling incredibly tense, "Dear God, please ensure Liu Mengyao's safety!"

...

Inside the van.

The group of bandits were chatting merrily.

"We made quite a haul this time."

"Not only did we get the gold, but we also caught a great beauty. Heh, tonight, I'm going to enjoy myself."

"What are you thinking, the beauty is for the Big Brother, we can't touch her!"

"No problem," the man with the dagger laughed heartily, "After I've had my fun, I'll hand her over to you guys. You can do whatever you want with her then." He added, "After we sell off this jewelry, I'll take you all on a trip abroad, for big meals and sleeping with foreign women! You'll have the time of your lives!" It had to be said, the guy was pretty good at winning hearts.

"Long live Big Brother!" the five bandits cheered in unison.
