As soon as she said this, everyone present gasped.

The rich businessman was so angry that he almost rushed up to fight Shi Man to the death. If not for Liu Wei holding his hand in time, his palm would have landed on Shi Man’s face.

“Leave, all of you leave! 1 want to save my daughter myself!”

After delaying for a day and night, such a young girl had come. If he placed his hopes on these police and soldiers, his daughter would be killed in the explosion later!

Liu Wei thought so too. He sighed deeply and said to Shi Man in a negotiating tone, “Young lady, why don’t you all listen to my command and not act on your own? Let’s save the hostage together?”

Throughout the commotion, Shi Man stood at the side without changing her expression.

Now that she heard Liu Wei’s gentle tone, she finally spoke.

However, it would have been fine if she hadn’t said anything. The moment she opened her mouth, she almost angered the rich businessman.

She placed her hands behind her back calmly and her black eyes were calm. “No, my subordinates can listen to your orders, but I won’t. Even if I’m alone, I’m confident that I can save the hostage.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped.

Even Liu Wei, who had always tried his best to remain calm, could not help but frown. “Don’t mess around. A human life is at stake. This is not child’s play. If the mission fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

The rich businessman barely broke free from Liu Wei’s shackles and rushed over to strangle Shi Man; he wanted to force Shi Man to retreat to the side and not cause trouble for them.

However, just as his hand reached into the air, Shi Man easily blocked it. “Don’t worry, I’m not joking. 1 said I would save your daughter, so 1 will definitely do it.”

For some reason, when Shi Man said this, the determination in her eyes stunned them.

The rich businessman’s aura weakened. He sized Shi Man up and frowned, as if he was conflicted about whether he would really believe her.

However, Shi Man did not have the time to stand here and wait for him to make a decision. Every second that was delayed meant more danger for the hostage.

She let go of the rich businessman’s hand and instructed the few officers beside her to listen to Liu Wei’s orders. Then, she loaded her gun and was about to leave alone.

Liu Wei hurriedly stopped her. “Are you really going to act on your own? This mission is very dangerous. If you’re not careful, not to mention a hostage, even your life will be lost. You should listen to my orders. I’ll arrange a mission for you.”

When he saw that Shi Man was a new commander, he guessed that she must be anxious to achieve military merits. However, he did not expect Shi Man to advance to this extent and actually want to rely on herself to complete the mission alone.

This was simply a fantasy!

With so many experienced police officers, it was already difficult for them to find a breakthrough. What could Shi Man do?

Moreover, ever since Shi Man and the others arrived, they had already wasted a lot of time before they could do anything. Liu Wei was even more impatient with Shi Man. He sent two police officers to watch from the side and make sure that Shi Man was not allowed to run around. He hurriedly sat back in front of the screen and began to command the entire situation.

In order not to expose the existence of the police, they could not send people to the empty space under the abandoned building to clear the area first. That would undoubtedly reveal their location and expose the police officers to the guns raised by the other party.

That was why they had not taken a step forward and could not find a breakthrough.

However, with these well-trained and experienced soldiers around, things would be much simpler.

They had already found a location in advance. There was a place on the right rear side of the building that could sneak into the building. However, the way in was an alley so narrow that only one person could pass.

This way, the risk of exposure would increase greatly.

Liu Wei arranged the route and assigned everyone a mission before letting them set off immediately. Then, he remembered that there was still a problem that needed to be resolved.

Liu Wei’s face was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. Just as he was about to educate Shi Man, he turned around and saw that the two police officers he had sent to guard Shi Man were already lying on the ground.

Shi Man, who should have been sitting obediently on the chair, had long disappeared.

Oh no!

Liu Wei’s heart skipped a beat. His intuition told him that Shi Man was about to do something bad. He hurriedly turned around to look at the surveillance video and did not let go of every corner of the screen. He carefully searched for Shi Man and shouted at the subordinates sent out through the walkie-talkie, “When you see the new female commander, you have to keep a close eye on her immediately. Don’t let her ruin the plan and cause trouble for our rescue operation!”

“Roger that.”

“Roger that.”

Several voices came back through the walkie-talkie.

Liu Wei had been the captain of the criminal police department for so many years. It had been a long time since he was as nervous as when he was on his first mission. However, at this moment, his hands and feet were cold, and the strength in his body seemed to have been sucked out. He fell back into his chair uneasily..
