My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 2171: Chapter 2173: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

The mall was cordoned off by the police. She ran breathlessly to Hos Mall, but was immediately stopped by the police stationed outside.

"Hello, it’s dangerous here, please leave quickly!"

Jiang Nuan took out her credentials from her bag and showed them to the officer, saying, "I’m a doctor, and my friend is inside."

After examining her credentials, the officer’s attitude improved slightly, but he still wouldn’t let her in. He returned the credentials to her, "Doctor Susan, there are armed assailants inside. Our police have just gone in to rescue hostages and we still don’t know the situation inside. I can’t let you in."

Jiang Nuan looked anxious and pleaded, "But I have a very important friend in there, please, do me a favor."

"I’m sorry, I can’t help you."

Disappointment uncontrollably spread across Jiang Nuan’s face. The officer, feeling pity, relented, "But you can stay here and wait. Perhaps the officers will need a doctor when they come out."

Jiang Nuan stood on tiptoe, craning her neck to look inside, but she could no longer see where Fu Yi had gone. She gritted her teeth and nodded, "I’ll wait!"

Hos Mall is one of the largest malls in Mahali, with a complex layout. After Phillips led the team inside, they discovered there were at least four assailants, all armed, with ruthless and ferocious natures. Upon hearing police movements, they directly challenged the negotiator, shooting a Caucasian civilian dead on the spot, leaving all the remaining hostages crying in fear.

The negotiator was also taken aback by the assailants.

The negotiator kept calming the assailants to buy time for Phillips and his team.

"Let them leave! Or I’ll kill everyone here."

"OK, ok, don’t get agitated. No one is coming in. We just want to ensure the safety of the public. Other conditions can be negotiated."

One of the assailants noticed Phillips and the others and grabbed a little girl, pressing a gun to her temple.

"Shit! You dare deceive me! I’ll say it again, get all the police out of here. I’ll count to three. If they’re not gone, I’ll shoot her!"

"1."

The negotiator and Phillips didn’t expect their positions to be exposed so quickly. They exchanged glances.

"Have you made up your mind? I mean what I say!"

"2!"

The young girl was so terrified that she wailed loudly, crying out mournfully, "Mommy, I want my mommy, mommy..."

Everyone present angrily glared at the ruthless assailants, but there were still three guns pointed at the hostages, ready to fire at any moment. No one dared to move.

On the police side, even though Phillips was infuriated enough to curse, when facing assailants using a child as leverage, he wouldn’t gamble with the child’s life.

"Colonel, you should retreat for now." The negotiator, unwilling to see a 7-year-old girl’s life end on the spot, looked pleadingly at the police.

Phillips’ dark and hard face was tense with muscles, his eyes glaring fiercely at the assailants. He raised his hand, unwillingly saying to the officers behind him, "Retreat!"

"Yes."

Under the watchful eyes of the four assailants, the police who had finally stormed in now had to retreat behind the negotiator.

At that moment, the pressure was immense on the negotiator. With a determined expression, he cautiously addressed the highly alert assailants, "Alright, we have retreated. Now can you put down the little girl in your hand? That child is innocent. She’s just a kid. Don’t hurt her. Put her down, and let’s discuss your conditions first."
