Deng Taishan's eyes were ferocious as he stared menacingly at everyone present, loudly stating his demands.
To demonstrate his cruelty, he shot one of the students standing in front of him, shattering the student's leg.
The student immediately screamed in agony, the sound piercing and heart-wrenching.
Instinctively, he tried to cover his wound, but Deng Taishan grabbed him and used him as a shield, still standing in front of him.
The horrific screams caused Lian Zhan Kai, Guan Zhilin, and others to darken their expressions.
"Who is the female police officer he mentioned?" Lian Zhan Kai asked.
"It's me," Guan Zhilin stepped forward and said in a solemn voice. "Sir, give me a bulletproof vest. I'll go over and negotiate with them."
"Are you out of your mind? These are ruthless demons, cold-blooded killers. If you go over there to negotiate, they'll shoot you without hesitation," Lian Zhan Kai evaluated Guan Zhilin and continued, "Besides, you're injured and can't move properly. If you go now, it's suicide!"
Although Guan Zhilin's calf wound was numbed by Wang Chao's acupoint manipulation and she couldn't feel the pain, the intense chase and evasions had caused the wound to reopen. Blood drenched her trousers, presenting a gruesome sight.
Guan Zhilin's gaze remained calm as she said in a firm voice, "I've killed so many of them. They won't easily kill me. They will surely torture me. Let me go now."
"That's not possible! It's safer to wait for the Dragon Team's experts," Lian Zhan Kai insisted.
"We can't wait! Didn't you hear what they said? They will kill one hostage every minute! They are demons, inhumane. Lives are at stake!" Guan Zhilin argued.
"Your life is also a life. Over there, it will be hell for you. I can't just watch you die," Lian Zhan Kai refused.
Guan Zhilin stared directly at Lian Zhan Kai and said, "Sir, my life is a life, but the lives of all those students over there are also lives. They are underage, the future of our nation."
"As a police officer, it is my duty to protect the country, safeguard people's property and lives!"
"For this, I am willing to sacrifice my life!"
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer gaze was unwavering, bright, and earnest, filled with a sense of acceptance of death.
Lian Zhan Kai, witnessing her determination, was deeply moved.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a pure and steadfast police officer. Guan Zhilin's eyes, like scorching sunlight, seemed to sear his own eyes.
He clenched his teeth, struggling with conflicting emotions, and fell into silence.
Guan Zhilin's pure-heartedness and unwavering dedication to saving lives deeply moved Lian Zhan Kai. He didn't want Guan Zhilin to sacrifice herself and hesitated to make a decision.
Seeing Lian Zhan Kai's indecision, Guan Zhilin didn't waste any time. She immediately went to the side, snatched a bulletproof vest from a SWAT officer, and got into a car. She wore the vest underneath her clothes.
Then, she approached Lian Zhan Kai and said, "Sir, ask the police officers in front to step aside. I'm going over there."
Lian Zhan Kai clenched his teeth but still couldn't make a decision.
Bang!
At that moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the campus.
Deng Taishan acted, shooting the student in his hand in the head and tossing him downstairs. He took cover behind an obstacle and shouted, "Listen carefully! From now on, if I do not see that female police officer, I'll kill one person every thirty seconds!"
Guan Zhilin saw the student fall from a distance, witnessed the blood-drenched body, and her eyes turned red with rage. She was furious!
This was Dragon Kingdom!
These people barged in, unleashed a killing spree, and acted recklessly within the school of Dragon Kingdom!
Their crimes were unforgivable!
Without hesitation, she ignored Lian Zhan Kai, pushed aside all the police officers blocking her path, and, armed with only her pistol, walked towards the school. She arrived at the base of the teaching building, opened her arms, and shouted, "I am Guan Zhilin, the female police officer who killed your comrades just now."
"If you have any grievances, come at me and release the innocent children."
Bang!
Before she could finish speaking, a thug fired a shot, hitting her shoulder and causing her to groan and fall to the ground.
Fortunately, wearing the bulletproof vest, her bones were fractured but her life was not in danger.
Before she could react, the thug fired another shot, hitting her thigh.
Instantly, blood gushed from her thigh, causing her to scream in pain as she curled up on the ground.
Upstairs, Deng Taishan stared at the thug who fired the shot and angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
"Boss, this bitch killed so many of our comrades. I want to avenge them by killing her!" the thug said with red eyes.
"Do you want to die? Killing her so easily would be letting her off too lightly," Deng Taishan coldly retorted.
The thug's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Boss, this bitch isn't dead yet," another thug at the staircase said.
Deng Taishan's eyes turned incredibly ferocious upon hearing those words. He uttered to Old Hu at the staircase, "Old Hu, bring this bitch back immediately."
"Do not worry, we have hostages. They won't dare to shoot!"
Old Hu complied and immediately opened the door, walking out.
Deng Taishan shouted, "Our people are going out now. If you dare to shoot and injure my men, I'll kill ten students!"
After saying that, he had the other thugs push ten students out, lining them up in the corridor.
Downstairs, Lian Zhan Kai had originally wanted the sniper to take advantage of the situation and kill, but upon hearing Deng Taishan's words, he frowned and became hesitant, fearing retaliation. He could only watch as Old Hu dragged Guan Zhilin and entered the teaching building.
Lian Zhan Kai's eyes darkened as he said, "Bastards, everyone, follow my orders and enter level one combat readiness."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Wait for Officer Guan's signal and coordinate with her!"
"Understood!" All the police officers nodded with sharp gazes.
"Understood!"
In the shadows, all the snipers who were already in position also spoke coldly.
"Boss, I searched her, she doesn't have any weapons."
Inside the teaching building, Old Hu dragged Guan Zhilin by her hair and ruthlessly threw her into a classroom.
At this moment, Guan Zhilin's scalp was bleeding from being pulled, and her thigh wound was a gruesome mess, soaked in blood. She was in a pitiful state.
After being thrown in, she knelt in pain on the ground.
She did not cry out in pain but immediately assessed the situation around her.
There were three thugs in the classroom, around thirty students, and a female teacher.

Deng Taishan aimed his gun at Guan Zhilin's head and sneered, "Bitch, did not expect to see this day, did you?"
"What do you desire from me? Release the innocent students!" Guan Zhilin said.
"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
Deng Taishan's gaze turned icy as he glanced at the bulletproof vest underneath Guan Zhilin's clothes, then fired a shot into her chest.
Although the bullet was stopped by the vest, the powerful impact still shattered two of Guan Zhilin's ribs, causing her to fall to the ground and scream in agony.
"Old Hu, Old Li, you two haven't tasted a female police officer before, have you? It's up to you now, take good care of our police officer!" Deng Taishan uttered coldly.
After speaking, he stood up and coldly watched.
He wanted to torture Guan Zhilin mercilessly, making her wish for death.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Old Hu and Old Li's eyes gleamed with joy. They immediately walked over, grinning evilly, and tore Guan Zhilin's clothes apart before pouncing on her.
