After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, the Reborn Omega Always Wants to Cling (GL) - Chapter 47
Su Ziqin was unaware of what was happening in Jing City. After receiving the text message from Fu Qingyun, she started adjusting the gun in her hand. Through the scope, she saw the sniper hiding in the power distribution room on the second floor.
“Tsk,” Su Ziqin let out an impatient sound.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Chenlan saw her action and looked in the direction she was pointing her gun. “There’s a sniper hiding there. He must have come up later. He probably had a falling out with the royal family and is preparing to retreat. The sniper is there for a safe evacuation.”
Su Ziqin was a little impressed with Fu Qingyun’s mother. “You know so much.”
“Oh, Qingli’s dad did this for a living. I learned a lot about this stuff from being with their family,” Fu Chenlan said with a humble smile. “And we also entered the secret passage. The royal family has probably already evacuated through the passage. These guys will probably leave soon. I don’t think they’ll leave any survivors.”
“Mom is probably right, but the Chinese peacekeeping force has already arrived.” Su Ziqin calculated the distance between her and the sniper, thinking about the fastest way to take him out. Su Ziqin took out her phone and texted Fu Qingyun, “The angle is a little tricky. It’s not easy to take him out. Three minutes. I’ll take care of him.”
“They’re here?” Fu Chenlan looked at her texting, then took out her own phone and saw that there was no signal. She has a signal? She’s so fast. It must be that person. “Leave the sniper to me. How long did you tell the military it would take?”
“Three minutes.” Su Ziqin knew that Fu Chenlan was skilled and didn’t argue with her. “You have to be fast.”
“Okay. Watch my hand gestures.”
At the same time, Fu Qingyun also crept up on the sniper on the first floor. The sniper didn’t even have time to react before his mouth was covered. The dagger in Fu Qingyun’s hand unceremoniously cut his throat.
Fu Chenlan also succeeded quickly. Su Ziqin saw her give an OK gesture through the scope. Su Ziqin immediately texted Fu Qingyun, “Cleared.”
Fu Qingyun looked at Su Ziqin through the scope and used her brain to reply to Su Ziqin, “Leave during the chaos in a bit.”
Su Ziqin received the text message and gritted her teeth. Fu Qingyun told her to leave, and she didn’t have a better option. Besides, if she left, Fu Qingyun would probably leave soon too. As if she had convinced herself with this reason, Su Ziqin made her way towards Fu Chenlan.
“Mom, we’ll leave during the chaos in a bit,” Su Ziqin said as soon as she found Fu Chenlan.
With a series of gunshots and a loud bang of a door being opened, the terrorists were caught off guard. Several of them who didn’t have time to find cover were killed instantly.
“Suppressing fire!” Gu Zhanxin gave the order. The machine gunner, Wang Zhenkai, shouldered the heavy machine gun and opened fire.
The terrorists hid behind cover and didn’t dare to show their faces. They could hear the sound of bullets cutting through the air, and the building was riddled with holes from the machine gun.
“Have them evacuate through the staff entrance!” Gu Zhanxin changed the magazine and said to the deputy leader, Li Dong. Li Dong heard her and immediately said loudly in English, “Go! Follow me!”
The hostages were like people who had just grabbed a lifeline. They covered their heads and followed Li Dong towards the staff entrance. Fortunately, it wasn’t the peak tourist season in Country Y, and there were only about a hundred people in the entire hotel.
Su Ziqin also listened to Fu Qingyun and left the hotel with Fu Chenlan. When Fu Chenlan left, she glanced at Gu Zhanxin. Gu Zhanxin saw that it was an acquaintance and gave her a glare, mouthing for her to get out.
The hostages were all rescued. Just as Gu Zhanxin was telling her team to retreat, a man with a beard held a gun to a little girl’s head. “Stop! No shooting!” The little girl was held by her neck, and tears kept streaming down her face.
The gunfire stopped, and the terrorists came out. After a fierce battle, there were still more than twenty of them left. Next to the little girl were a man and a woman, two Betas, both with Eastern features.
“Shit!” Gu Zhanxin couldn’t help but curse. She didn’t expect them to have a trick up their sleeves.
Through the camera on Gu Zhanxin’s body, Gu Xingbang saw the black and white image being transmitted to the command room. He instinctively tightened his grip on the walkie-talkie. The hotel had already been surrounded by Country Y’s forces. He was just about to tell them to make a forced entry.
“Gu Zhanxin… it’s all up to you. The outside is full of our and Country Y’s forces. Those three are the last hostages. You must save them. And… protect Fu Qingyun.”
At this time, Louise was also outside the hotel with the military. She heard Gu Xingbang’s command and realized that Fu Qingyun hadn’t come out yet.
“Don’t you care about your soldiers? Are you going to sacrifice them for three people?”
Gu Xingbang didn’t turn around to respond. He just said faintly, “A Chinese soldier’s responsibility and duty are to save the people. Let alone three people, even if there was only one, they have to be saved.”
“Old lunatic,” Louise cursed under her breath. She felt that this old man was truly out of his mind. Three lives and six lives were being put on a completely unequal scale in this situation.
At this moment, the hostages also evacuated from the staff entrance one after another. Su Ziqin’s sharp eyes spotted Gu Xingbang. She was about to run over and say hello, but Fu Chenlan was even faster.
“Father-in-law,” Fu Chenlan said with a cheerful smile.
Gu Xingbang gave Fu Chenlan an annoyed look, then turned to Su Ziqin with a kind smile. “Little girl, you’re out.”
The speed of his change of expression was even more impressive than a Sichuan opera. Su Ziqin didn’t have time to care about his expression change. She asked, “Grandpa, did she come out?”
Gu Xingbang’s face sank when he heard this. “Not yet, but don’t worry. Her second aunt is with her. She’ll be fine.”
“She went in to save you, but you came out first,” Louise said sarcastically.
Su Ziqin didn’t pay attention to what Louise said. Her amber eyes were filled with worry as she looked at the hotel. How could she not worry… Fu Qingyun… doesn’t feel pain.
Gu Zhanxin cursed under her breath. The old man was truly good at finding trouble, but she was a Chinese soldier.
“Second Aunt, the male hostage has explosives on him. Military-grade TNT. It’s not a lot. The blast radius is three meters,” Fu Qingyun’s voice came from the headset.
“Oh my God,” sweat beaded on Gu Zhanxin’s forehead. Wang Zhenkai keenly saw a person in the corner holding a makeshift bomb remote control.
“Tang Shun, can you snipe the bomber?”
Tang Shun’s voice sounded troubled as he replied, “My position isn’t good enough.”
“My position is good,” Fu Qingyun chimed in. She could clearly see the remote control in that person’s hand through her scope.
Gu Zhanxin immediately stopped her. “Don’t act impulsively.”
“The best plan now is to pretend to exchange hostages. After the exchange is complete, take out the bomber and defuse the bombs immediately. The bombs have a timer, a five-minute countdown,” Fu Qingyun said calmly as she analyzed the situation.
“Captain, now is not the time to hesitate,” Tang Shun also agreed with Fu Qingyun’s plan.
Gu Zhanxin’s eyes changed. She threw down her gun, took off her bulletproof vest, and threw all her gear on the ground. She raised her hands and said to the bearded man, “Let them go. I’ll be your hostage.”
“Why should I believe you?” The bearded man said cautiously. The Alpha in front of him was a soldier, not a child who was easy to manipulate.
Just like that, the hostage exchange plan was in a stalemate. Gu Zhanxin didn’t give up and continued to approach. “You see? I don’t have any weapons. If you’re not at ease, you can tie my hands.”
When he saw Gu Zhanxin getting closer, a cold glint flashed in the bearded man’s eyes. He swiftly kicked the male hostage towards Gu Zhanxin. Gu Zhanxin was no pushover. She pulled the explosives off the man and threw them away, then ducked with him.
Before the explosion could come, a bullet left a bloody hole in the head of the terrorist with the remote control. He fell backward.
The bearded man hadn’t recovered from his shock when a bullet hit his arm. He loosened his grip, and the little girl went limp, falling down. Wang Zhenkai saw this and rushed forward. He kicked the bearded man’s jaw and reached out to catch the little girl.
The terrorist next to them saw that the situation was bad and was about to attack the female hostage. Bullets cut through the air. Bang, bang, bang! Three terrorists fell to the ground.
“There’s a sniper!” The terrorists shouted. The scene fell into chaos. The terrorists who didn’t have time to find cover were taken out one after another by Fu Qingyun and Tang Shun in the dark.
Gu Zhanxin and Wang Zhenkai protected the hostages and distanced themselves from the terrorists. At this moment, the military rushed in and quickly took control of the terrorists.
“Old man, the mission is complete,” Gu Zhanxin said to Gu Xingbang, who had walked in, with a tired smile.
Su Ziqin walked behind Gu Xingbang. She looked at the team gathering behind Gu Zhanxin, her frown deepening. “Grandpa, she’s not here.”
Gu Xingbang finally reacted. Fu Qingyun wasn’t here. “Gu Zhanxin! Where’s the BBQ pork? Where did you lose the BBQ pork?”
Gu Zhanxin’s heart sank. She looked at her team members. They all looked at each other, none of them knowing where Fu Qingyun was. “I’ll go.”
Gu Zhanxin snatched the walkie-talkie from Gu Xingbang. “BBQ pork! Retreat. We won. The hostages are all safe! Where are you?”
“Won?” The bearded man’s hands were cuffed behind his back, but he gave Gu Zhanxin a sinister smile. “Chinese soldier, did you really save all the hostages? Not counting the ones we killed, you didn’t save everyone.”
A feeling of unease spread through the team. The bearded man was led away, but Gu Zhanxin couldn’t snap out of it because of his words.
A buzzing sound came from the walkie-talkie. “Third-floor pantry. There’s one last hostage.”
“Fu Qingyun,” Su Ziqin called out anxiously.
“Little fox, I’ll be out soon. You guys leave the hotel first,” Fu Qingyun said.
Su Ziqin didn’t understand why Fu Qingyun would want them to leave. “Is there something else?”
Fu Qingyun replied faintly, “Mmm. There’s an electrolyte bomb here. It’s not easy to defuse. You guys go out first.”
“No,” Su Ziqin refused. “I’m coming to find you.”
Fu Qingyun tried to persuade her. “Be good. I’ll be out in a second.”
Su Ziqin was about to say something else, but Fu Chenlan patted her shoulder. Fu Chenlan gestured for her to be quiet and turned off the walkie-talkie. “Listen to her. Don’t go. I’ll go.”
“Mom…”
Fu Chenlan waved her hand. “You don’t want her to worry, do you? I’m more skilled than you. Don’t worry.” Then she said to Gu Zhanxin, “Sis, keep an eye on my daughter-in-law.”
Gu Zhanxin looked at Su Ziqin, then said to Fu Chenlan, “Why are you getting involved? I’ll go!”
“Stop arguing,” Gu Xingbang said. “Let the Fu family go.”
Gu Zhanxin gave Gu Xingbang a glare. “Old man, are you really letting Sis Lan go without any personal grudges involved?” Everyone knew that he had been at odds with her because she had to marry Fu Chenlan for a long time.
Gu Xingbang glared at her. “What nonsense are you talking about? They’re mother and daughter.”
Fu Qingyun took off her cumbersome gear and looked at the complicated bomb in front of her. An exposed electrolyte bomb was very difficult to defuse, not to mention…
Fu Qingyun looked at the little girl who was handcuffed to the detonator in the fish tank. The little girl had passed out and was hanging from the device. Her wrist was already purple from being strangled. It seemed the little girl’s weight was also part of the device’s balance.
To safely defuse the device, Fu Qingyun began to look for a substitute with a similar weight to the little girl nearby. Just then, a person pushed open the pantry door and walked in.
“I told you, BBQ pork…” The voice paused. When Fu Chenlan saw Fu Qingyun’s face clearly, she was a little dazed. Her voice was a little choked up as she said, “You are…”
Fu Qingyun turned to look at her. At that moment, a terrorist on the ground, who was supposed to be dead, raised his gun and pointed it at Fu Qingyun’s back. Fu Chenlan’s pupils shrunk. She immediately pounced on Fu Qingyun. “Little Yun’er!”
