You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1827: | Really, Really Like You

Joyce, Luther, Justin, and Darrin, along with others, arrived at the periphery of the activity center. They stood behind the special

police, anxiously waiting for news from inside.

At this moment, the special police brought out the blueprint of the activity center and unfolded it for everyone to see.

Luther took the blueprint and carefully examined it, pointing out two breach points. He analyzed, "It's not difficult for the special

police to rush in. The difficult part is ensuring the safety of all the hostages inside."

Joyce agreed, "Because there's more than one hostage taker."

Darrin spoke up, "General, you can try sniping. The special police have also deployed two snipers."

Joyce shook her head, "Not enough personnel. It's too risky. Once they start shooting and spraying the hostages, we can't take the

chance. Let's see what the negotiator has to say first."

At this point, the command center had already sent Commander Zhao, in charge of today's terrorist attack.

Commander Zhao greeted Joyce and nodded to Luther. He had dealt with Luther before, so they were quite familiar with each

other.

"I heard that Young Master Ling is also inside the activity center?" Commander Zhao asked.

"Yes," Luther nodded.

Commander Zhao frowned, feeling even more pressure.

"Khebury hasn't encountered such a situation in a long time, Mr. Warner. | apologize. | will do my best. The negotiator will arrive

soon."

Luther remained silent, his brows furrowing.

After a while, the negotiator arrived on tand communicated with the people inside through a wireless communicator.

After scommunication, Commander Zhao asked, "What do these criminals want?"

The negotiator shook his head, "Initially, they demanded 100 million US dollars. Then they said they wanted two helicopters and

would take several hostages with them until they reached the border. Later, they suddenly changed their demand to 500 million US

dollars. Finally, they said they wanted to release sof their accomplices from prison."

Commander Zhao furrowed his brow.

Luther said, "It feels like they don't have a clear goal, more like they're trying to buy time."

The negotiator replied, "That's right, that's the feeling | get."

Joyce asked, "Could this be connected to the shooting incident in the city center last time?"

Commander Zhao thought for a moment, "It's very possible."

Joyce continued, "I'll be frank with you. | suspect they are all members of OGW. They don't have a clear goal, they just want to

create panic in Khebury. In fact, they have already achieved their goal. | highly suspect that this tthey will target the hostages.

These people are likely suicide attackers. They are prepared to be captured or die, so the hostages are in great danger."

Commander Zhao was shocked, "OGW! Oh my god!"

Dealing with such a terrorist organization was beyond his capabilities.

Darrin spoke up, "I have gathered the military's manpower. We definitely have the advantage on the periphery. The problem now is

how to breach from the inside."

Luther suddenly had an idea, "Do we have the design blueprint for the ventilation ducts in the activity center? | want to take a look.

Because there's a dining area inside the activity center, and where there's dining, there must be ventilation equipment.”

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it right away," Commander Zhao quickly responded.

Joyce contacted Anderson and asked, "Are you in the men's restroom or the women's restroom?"

Anderson replied, "Men's restroom. Mommy, | can cut off the power here. | can also operate the smart systems here, but it doesn't

seem to be of much use."

Joyce replied, "Don't do anything for now. We have to wait until it's completely dark. What you need to do now is hide yourself well

and don't get caught."

Anderson replied, "I will, Mommy."

After sending the message, Joyce felt a sense of fatigue throughout her body. Even though Anderson seemed calm, she couldn't

calm down herself.

Luther held her tightly.

The two sides remained in a stalemate as tpassed second by second.

After a long time, a special police officer brought the blueprint of the ventilation ducts.

Luther quickly opened it for study and indeed found complex ventilation ducts. He looked around and pointed to a certain location,

saying, "Great, there's an entrance to the ventilation duct right above the women's restroom. Perhaps we can try to have Anderson

and Fair leave through the ventilation duct."

Joyce quickly leaned over to take a look at the blueprint and felt relieved. It was indeed there.

"But the problem with the other hostages remains unresolved."

"Don't worry, we'll take it step by step. There will be a way. Once theycan cout, we can figure out a way for others to go in,"

Darrin said.

"What we need to do now is wait for nightfall," Darrin suggested.

Commander Zhao quickly instructed the negotiator, "You are responsible for buying time, try to engage them in conversation,

persuade them, find common ground, or propose various exchange plans. It would be best to have them release a group of

hostages first. The pressure of overseeing too many hostages is also a burden for them."

The negotiator quickly responded, "Understood."

Inside the activity center.

Anderson and Fair were still hiding in the tool cabinet.

It had been a while, and Anderson felt a bit uncomfortable with his body bent for so long. He moved his shoulder, wanting to

stretch.

Fair quickly held him down, "Don't move. It will make noise and it's dangerous."

"My legs are numb," Anderson whispered.

"I'll rub them for you," Fair quickly reached out and felt Anderson's legs, using her tender and childish hands to massage him.

Anderson was speechless. She actually dared to touch him like that.

"Why did you kissearlier? That was my first kiss," he pouted, dissatisfied.

"I was afraid you would scream. We're so young, what does it matter if we kiss each other?" Fair didn't understand.

"How can a girl just kiss anyone casually? Have you kissed someone else like that?" Anderson was not happy.

"Of course not. It's also my first time," Fair felt quite speechless.

"That's more like it. Hmph," Anderson didn't say anything more.

Fair continued to massage Anderson's legs.

"Okay, stop rubbing," Anderson suddenly felt unhappy. "Since you were adopted by Uncle Henderson, why didn't you contact me?

Uncle Henderson must have my mommy's contact information."

"l..." Fair was at a loss for words. How should she explain her relationship with Athena? How should she explain that she had never

betrayed Anderson? She was afraid that Anderson would misunderstand her and hate her, ignore her. She both wanted to see him

and felt fearful.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Anderson urged.

Fair suddenly spoke up with a tender, sweet voice, "Anderson, | like you. | really, really like you. | miss you so much."

After speaking, Fair hugged Anderson tightly and didn't let go.

Anderson was dumbfounded by her young, naive confession.
