On the other end of the phone, Suzuki Junichi said nothing more.
Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "We can't take the drawings with us. Half of the hostages will be released within half an hour. We will contact you again."
"No problem." Suzuki Junichi said and hung up the phone.
Xia Feng returned the phone to Commander Zhao, who had broken out in a cold sweat just now. Fortunately, Gu Qingyan had a quick wit and made Suzuki Junyi think that the daughter of Qiao Ran's friend was at the activity center. Otherwise, the secret would have been exposed.
Gu Qingyan breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, no one knew Gu Jiuting, so it didn't matter if she gave her nickname.
At this time, the person in charge of the project finally designed an escape route. This is how to leave from the ventilation duct of the women's bathroom, pass through the top of the activity center hall, and finally reach the flue in the northwest corner. They can send people to ambush there to respond.
The engineer handed the drawings to Qiao Ran.
After Zuo Chenye and Qiao Ran confirmed it together.
Qiao Ran immediately sent it to Qiao Ze'an and left a message.
"This is the escape route from the ventilation duct to the activity center. Take a look and memorize it in your heart. Within half an hour, the gangsters will release half of the hostages. It will cause certain fluctuations. Take this opportunity, you and Tingting
Leave. I will send someone to pick you up."
As long as Qiao Ze'an doesn't fall into the hands of the gangsters, she will be more confident to attack.
At this time.
Commander Zhao and negotiation experts received the latest instructions.
After a round of negotiations, the two sides decided to release half of the hostages after ten minutes.
Commander Zhao made an OK gesture to Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran nodded.
She sent another message to Qiao Ze'an, "In ten minutes, the release of the hostages will begin. If you are ready to take action, we will use the loudspeaker to shout "Start" inside as a signal. After you hear it, immediately take the
Tingting leave. Don’t cut off the power supply to avoid causing panic and alertness inside. Unless there is an emergency, you should cut off the power supply for three seconds and then turn it on again as a secret signal between us.”
Qiao Ze'an quickly replied, "I understand."
After the explanation, Qiao Ran took a deep breath, and Zuo Chenye helped her sit on the stool.
"You've been standing for too long, your legs must be numb. Don't worry, just trust An An."
Qiao Ran nodded, looking at her watch, waiting for the time to pass minute by minute.
Inside the activity center.
Qiao Ze'an opened the escape route drawing in the tool cabinet and looked at it with Gu Jiuting. The route was a bit complicated. Fortunately, he had a good sense of direction, but after reading it several times, the route was too winding and complicated, and it was a bit difficult to remember.
"Can you memorize it?" he asked Gu Jiuting. Because he knew that Gu Jiuting was a mathematical genius and was extremely sensitive to numbers...
"Well, I have the bearing, route, and how many meters apart I have on my back. It's absolutely no problem." Gu Jiuting nodded, and she began to recite, "15 degrees west by south, 6 meters, 7 meters east, and 25 degrees south by north.
Degree, 15 meters..."
"Okay, stop carrying it. I'll leave as soon as I tell you." Qiao Ze'an said.
"Okay." Gu Jiuting held Qiao Ze'an tightly, already starting to feel nervous.
I felt Gu Jiuting's fear.
Qiao Ze'an finally spoke to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
