Chapter 295: Chapter 296: Searching for Grey Wolf
Upon hearing the sudden crackling of the fireworks, all the students on the old factory building were shocked.
Though they wanted to dismantle these fireworks, they feared that any movement might actually set them off. The rest of the students wanted to flee, but considering the consequences of escaping earlier, they dared not move.
By now, the entire abandoned factory building was surrounded by numerous masked individuals standing on the walls, with timed fireworks stacked around the crowd, and human bombs scattered among them. This once lively old factory now seemed like Hell on Earth.
A terrifying aura of death spread in everyone’s hearts, like a black cloud shrouding the abandoned building, filling everyone with despair.
Su Yu Kuang smirked and sneered, saying, “Now all of your fates are in my hands. I’ve already activated the remote device. If it strays more than a meter from my body, all the fireworks here will explode. If I die, the fireworks will also explode.”
All the students stared at Su Yu Kuang in horror, and the morale that Wang Yan had just stirred up completely vanished.
At that moment, outside the abandoned factory, numerous police cars and fully armed officers had the whole Wanghai Noble’s old factory surrounded.
Among them was a person with a wheat-ear shoulder badge, observing the old factory with binoculars.
Beside this person stood Su Yamo and Yan Buming.
Su Yamo’s face was filled with worry, while Yan Buming feigned anxiety, but couldn’t hide the schadenfreude in his eyes.
The person lowered the binoculars and sighed. He was a man in his fifties with gray hair, a square face, exuding authority.
Upon hearing the sigh, Su Yamo quickly asked, “Director, how is it?”
It turned out, this man was the direct superior of Su Yamo and Yan Buming, Director Huang Long of the Wanghai City Police Department.
Huang Long glanced at Su Yamo, his tone filled with displeasure, “Su, ever since you took office, major cases have frequently occurred in your jurisdiction. I initially wanted to promote you to Director, but you’ve really disappointed me.”
Hearing Huang Long’s criticism, Su Yamo felt guilty and quickly said, “Director, this is my oversight. This time, I will find a way to rescue the hostages.”
Huang Long said, “How? With what resources? Do you know who the hostage-taker is?”
Su Yamo shook her head and asked, “Who?”
Huang Long sighed and said, “Su Yu Kuang.”
“What, it’s Su Yu Kuang? Didn’t he flee Wanghai City? Director, how do you know it’s him? Did you just see him?” Upon hearing Su Yu Kuang’s name, Su Yamo was also shocked and asked repeatedly.
Huang Long said, “I don’t need to see him personally, just by seeing his methods, one can guess that none other than Wanghai City’s most notorious Su Yu Kuang could orchestrate such a thorough hostage situation. Alas, chances of rescuing hostages from Su Yu Kuang are virtually nil. This time, we have no choice but to compromise.”
Su Yamo immediately shook her head after hearing this, “No, Director, I cannot bow to dark forces. I’ll take a few people in and capture Su Yu Kuang.”
Huang Long glared and said, “Nonsense, do you know Su Yu Kuang has taken over ten thousand hostages today, including many students, and they’re all children of the elites of Wanghai City. Su Yamo, if one student dies, not only will you lose your small Deputy Director position, but I won’t be able to keep my role as Director either.”
“But—” Su Yamo tried to argue, but Huang Long gestured to stop her, “Send someone to find out what Su Yu Kuang wants. If the demands aren’t high, we should agree if possible.”
Just then, suddenly the gate of the abandoned factory opened, and a masked man came out.
Upon seeing the masked man, dozens of officers outside the gate immediately raised their guns, aiming at him.
However, this masked man was fearless; he walked out slowly, glanced at the tense officers, and finally fixed his gaze on Huang Long.
“Director Huang, long time no see.”
Huang Long coldly glanced at the masked man before him, and said plainly, “Where’s Su Yu Kuang? Why doesn’t he come out himself?”
After hearing Huang Long’s words, the masked man smiled slightly and said, “Seems like Director Huang is still clever, immediately guessing that my big brother is behind this. Yes, my big brother is inside the factory.”
Upon the masked man’s straightforward admission, Huang Long’s expression changed slightly. After a brief pause, he asked, “What exactly does Su Yu Kuang want this time?”
The masked man smiled slightly and said, “Director Huang, our demand today is simple: we ask Director Huang to help us find someone.”
“Find someone?” Huang Long was also surprised, asking urgently, “Who?”
“Grey Wolf!” the masked man answered.
Upon hearing this name, Huang Long was even more surprised, frowning as he asked, “What is Grey Wolf? Is it a person’s name?”
The masked man said, “Who he really is, Deputy Director Su knows best. However, we only give you three hours. If Grey Wolf isn’t found after three hours, for every minute that passes, we’ll kill one person. If Grey Wolf is still not found after six hours, the entire old factory won’t exist. Boss Su means what he says, Director Huang, do your best.”
With that, the masked man turned around and walked back into the old factory.
“Wait a minute, clarify a bit more, and maybe extend the time,” Huang Long shouted urgently, but the masked man didn’t listen at all, and directly turned back to the old factory, closing its gate.
Huang Long let out a long breath, turning to look at Su Yamo and asked, “What exactly is this Grey Wolf?”
Upon hearing the name Grey Wolf, Su Yamo had already been stunned. Only now did she realize that the cause of this hostage crisis was also about finding Grey Wolf, just like she was.
“Su Yamo, Su Yamo—”
As Su Yamo was lost in thought, suddenly Huang Long’s shout rang in her ears.
Su Yamo swiftly turned her head towards Huang Long, seeing his face full of anger, he asked, “What are you thinking about? I’m asking you, who is Grey Wolf?”
Su Yamo shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
“Nonsense, Su Yu Kuang mentioned your name directly. Quickly tell me, what’s this Grey Wolf all about?”
Helpless, Su Yamo had to narrate everything that had happened over the past few days to Huang Long.
After hearing this, Huang Long became even angrier, “What nonsense is this? Such a big incident happened in your jurisdiction, and I had no idea about it. Su Yamo, I order you to find Grey Wolf within three hours and bring this Grey Wolf to me. Otherwise, I’ll dismiss you.”
