The person who called Jiang Xinghan around and ignored him was the director of the Provincial Police Department, Xu Yunchuan. When Liu Jie quietly told Ling Xiao his identity, although he had been prepared, Ling Xiao was still a little surprised. He did not expect it.
So soon, the director of the National Police Agency was at the scene.
But this is actually quite normal. The gathering of media reporters for such a big event is an opportunity for politicians to show their faces. If the current crisis is handled well, it will definitely be the political capital for promotion in the future.
"I only talked to Bashan on the phone. If he asked me as the director to go to the office building to talk to Bashan face to face, I would not go. He was making political capital while I was sacrificing. I am not that kind.
It's so deceptive." Ling Xiao secretly drew the bottom line in his heart, that is, he would only cooperate with the police in talking to Bashan on the phone, and he would not go if they wanted to talk face to face.
Bashan's purpose is to kill him. If he still bites the bullet and goes to talk to the gun-wielding Bashan, it will not be heroism, but stupidity. If he dies for a moment, what will happen to so many workers in Shennu Pharmaceutical? Love
What should he do with his women? What should he do with so many farmers who rely on Goddess Pharmaceuticals for their livelihood? He has to think about them and the women around him.
Over there, Jiang Xinghan and Xu Yunchuan exchanged a few words, and Xu Yunchuan walked over to Ling Xiao.
"Are you Ling Xiao?" Xu Yunchuan's tone was plain, but there was an obvious sense of pride and official airs in his bones. Jiang Xinghan also called him "Mr. Ling" politely, and he just called him by his first name. This was the difference.
Ling Xiao nodded and stretched out his hand, "Yes, I am Ling Xiao. Hello, Director Xu." These big leaders all have official airs, and Ling Xiao didn't mind the tone of Xu Yunchuan's words.
Xu Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to shake Ling Xiao's hand symbolically. He then said, "I believe you understand the general situation? We need your assistance to buy us the time and opportunity to act."
"I'll try my best." Ling Xiao's tone became calmer. You are a senior official and I don't ask you for anything, so why should I always be polite to you.
"That's good, I would like to thank you on behalf of the police." Xu Yunchuan said.
A police officer came over, stood at attention and reported, "Ding Xu, Bashan called again and asked if Ling Xiao is here."
"Here we come." Xu Yunchuan said, "Go tell him and talk to him right away."
"Yes, and Bashan also requested that Tian Wei be released and a helicopter be prepared for him and Tian Wei," the police officer said.
Xu Yunchuan sneered, "Hey! Does he think this is a police movie? He also needs a helicopter, no way!"
"Then how should I answer him?" The police officer had no idea. He would definitely not dare to say this to Bashan. If he said this, he would anger Bashan and Bashan would shoot the hostage.
"You don't have to say anything to him anymore, Ling Xiao, just go and tell him." Xu Yunchuan said.
"Where to say it?" Ling Xiao asked.
"This way, please follow me." The police officer said and led the way.
Ling Xiao followed the police officer who led the way to a command vehicle parked in front of the city government office building. It was a special vehicle second only to a minibus in size. The sliding door on the side was open, and you could see
The electronic equipment in the car includes communicators, computers, and some other equipment that I have never seen before. There are two police officers working, one is guarding a communicator, and the other is operating a special one installed in the car.
Computer. The picture on the computer is a surveillance picture from inside the government building, but Bashan and the hostages are not visible on the picture.
The police officer took out the communicator placed on a metal table and handed it to Ling Xiao. The communicator was very similar to the "Big Brother" mobile phone that had been popular for some time, but it was about one-third smaller in size.
.
"Remember, try to delay his time and give us a chance." Xu Yunchuan warned.
Ling Xiao nodded, put the communicator to his ear, and was silent for a while before speaking out: "I am Ling Xiao."
A sneering voice came from the communicator, "Ling Xiao? I didn't expect you would really dare to come."
Ling Xiao said: "There is nothing to dare, I am just doing what I should do. As for you, I advise you to stop as soon as possible, put down your weapons and surrender to the police. Your good brother Tian Wei has the consciousness to surrender.
You should have too."
"I don't believe he's going to turn himself in."
"But he surrendered." Ling Xiao said.
"When he comes later, I will ask him what is going on. If he surrenders and betrays me, I will kill him. If he is not and is framed, I will plead for him.
Get justice." Bashan's tone was somewhat ferocious.
"Do you think you can leave here alive? Putting down your weapons and surrendering to the police is your only way out." Ling Xiao continued to persuade Bashan. This was not because he really didn't want Bashan to die, but because he was talking to Bashan on the phone.
When he was talking, Jiang Xinghan was beside him and kept reminding him to delay. If he wanted to delay talking to Bashan, he couldn't possibly let Bashan die?
"Don't mention surrender to me again!" Bashan said fiercely: "You still have half an hour. What I want must be prepared for me, and Tian Wei must be released. People named Ling, tell those around you
Police, don’t try to launch an attack, as long as they dare, all the hostages will be destroyed!”
"I will tell them, don't get excited, don't get excited, you can talk to me if you have anything to say." Ling Xiao persuaded him hypocritically.
"Don't do this to me! In half an hour, you and Tian Wei come up together and I want to talk to you face to face." Bashan sneered.
"Let's talk face to face? Can't we just talk like this? I think it's better to forget it if we talk face to face. It's not necessary," Ling Xiao said.
Bashan said coldly: "It's not up to you. If you don't come, I will shoot a hostage every five minutes!"
"Hey, why are you so stubborn? Why do you have to talk to me face to face... Hello?" Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, Bashan hung up the phone.
Ling Xiao shrugged helplessly and handed the communicator to the police officer.
Xu Yunchuan said: "Ling Xiao, if the situation does not improve, then... I'm afraid you will be the only one to go up and talk to him."
Ling Xiao shook his head, "What's the use of me going up there? I'm not a police negotiator."
Liu Jie also said: "Yes, Xu Ting, that Bashan was ordered by Tian Wei to assassinate Ling Xiao. It will be very dangerous for Ling Xiao to go up there."
Li Qian also said: "Yes, this was explained by Tian Wei himself. That Bashan clearly wanted to kill Ling Xiao, how could he still let Ling Xiao go up and talk to him?"
"That's enough! Who are you? From that department?" Xu Yunchuan's face suddenly darkened.
Liu Jie and Li Qian immediately fell silent. Both of them were small third-level police superintendents. Compared with department-level cadres like Xu Yunchuan, they were far behind. In front of department-level cadres like Xu Yunchuan,
They had no right to speak at all, let alone express any opinions. A very cruel fact is that as long as Xu Yunchuan said a word, Li Qian and Liu Jie could report to the traffic police department and issue tickets on the street under the scorching sun.
Jiang Xinghan quickly said: "Why are you two talking so much? Just wait and see."
It seemed like they were scolding their subordinates, but in fact it was a form of protection. Liu Jie and Li Qian were not stupid, so they stepped aside.
Jiang Xinghan said with a smile: "Ting Xu, I'm sorry, they are my people and they have neglected to discipline me. I will criticize them severely when I get back."
There was no trace of joy or anger on Xu Yunchuan's face. He looked at Ling Xiao and said calmly: "Ling Xiao, I hope you will think about it. This is a big matter that affects more than a dozen lives. There is also Huafang City.
"Chief, she is a good mayor. I think you should step forward. Doesn't our nation have the virtue of being brave and courageous? I hope to see the embodiment of this virtue in you."
Ling Xiao also remained calm. But he knew very well in his heart that Xu Yunchuan was provoking him and wanted him to talk to Bashan face to face. It wasn't that Xu Yunchuan didn't know that Bashan wanted to kill him, but his life was in Xu Yunchuan's eyes.
I'm afraid it's similar to a chicken or a duck in the vegetable market? What a leader like Xu Yunchuan is best at is sacrificing others for his own interests. Xu Yunchuan can climb to where he is today, but he still does this kind of thing
Is it missing?
"I'll think about it," Ling Xiao said. In fact, he had already thought about it in his mind. If you want to go, go by yourself!
"Well, that's good, give me an answer as soon as possible." Xu Yunchuan said this and walked towards a group of heavily armed special police officers.
The group of special police officers were all wearing body armor, carrying weapons and some professional equipment, such as bulletproof shields, door hammers, etc. There was also one who was responsible for EOD, and he was wearing a very bulky EOD suit. It was not difficult to tell.
, the police are already making preparations for action.
"I hope they can kill Bashan in advance, so that I won't have to negotiate with Bashan." Ling Xiao thought to himself.
Li Qian and Liu Jie came over again.
Li Qian found a can of vitality soup from somewhere, and handed it to Ling Xiao, "Are you thirsty? Drink some of your own vitality soup to refresh yourself."
Ling Xiao was not polite, he took the bottle of Yuan Qi Soup and started drinking it. Now Yuan Qi Soup has become the most popular drink in the western region. It is loved by students, white-collar workers in offices, and even street vendors and migrant workers.
They all also like to drink, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Don't be so stupid and don't listen to Xu Yunchuan's lies. If you go to negotiate with Bashan, you will be in danger." Liu Jie said to Ling Xiao.
She had reminded her of the same thing many times, but Ling Xiao didn't think she was verbose at all. Instead, he felt heartwarming. He smiled and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid? It's okay, I won't listen to him.
Deceptive."
Li Qian also said: "That's right, that Bashan's purpose is to kill you. Even if you go, it won't help."
Liu Jie lowered her voice and said: "How about you leave quietly, and if Xu Yunchuan asks, I will tell you that your company has urgent matters, and you rush back to deal with it."
"If I leave at this time, Xu Yunchuan will definitely take it out on you two. Anyway, there is still some time, I will see what happens." Ling Xiao said. Liu Jie and Li Qian are so considerate of him, and he must also consider them.
There is another very important reason why he wants to stay, that is, he wants to see Bashan and Tian Wei finish with his own eyes!
"You..." Liu Jie sighed, but she knew that Ling Xiao was thinking about her and Li Qian.
"By the way, what color do you like?" Ling Xiao suddenly said this.
"What the hell?" Li Qian looked confused.
"What color is your underwear? Red or purple? White or black?"
