"Have you finished all your books?" Hou Yiying looked at her boyfriend's thin shoulders while eating, and asked with a smile.
"I'm already a postdoc, and now I'm at the top of my class!" Wang Xiyao was puzzled.
"Aren't you considering going abroad?" Hou Yiying said, "There are many people like you in the capital. They will study abroad for a few more years and put all the gilded overseas labels on their bodies."
"Whether it's the United States or Europe, as long as you want me to go, I will definitely go!" Wang Xiyao became a little excited, "Let's have a drink!"
"I'm driving the car, you can drink it yourself!" Hou Yiying said.
Wang Xiyao ordered a bottle of red wine. "I've decided to go to the United States."
As he drank, he became more talkative: "My dad said that your current job can be very dangerous sometimes. When I settle down there, you will immediately quit your job to study with me. Once you get your green card,
After that, we will develop in the United States in the future. I am really happy to think that my child will be born in the United States!"
"I will not go to the United States, and my children will not be Americans!" Hou Yiying said sternly, "Understand, I only serve my own country."
"But...but you just said you wanted me to go abroad!" Wang Xiyao was a little at a loss.
"You don't understand my original intention!" Hou Yiying couldn't help but continue to beat around the bush, "Actually, what I want to say is that we haven't reached the point where we can get engaged yet."
Wang Xiyao was completely confused. He was about to ask Hou Yiying why he didn't agree to the engagement, when he heard a scream downstairs.
The two of them got up and took a look, and saw the commotion of the crowd, pushing and shoving towards the upstairs.
At the door of the warehouse where gas canisters were stacked in the stairwell below, a young man in his early twenties held a fruit knife in one hand and strangled a waitress by the neck. He held a burning lighter in the other hand and pointed it at the mouth of the gas canister.
Upstairs and downstairs, the terrible smell of gas and burning hot pot began to fill the air.
Within ten minutes, a large number of police officers were deployed around the building.
On the fifth floor of the Huashang Hot Pot Restaurant, more than a dozen special police officers wearing helmets quickly rushed in. They faced the young man and formed a row with guns drawn more than ten meters away.
Hou Yiying was also upstairs, pulling out his pistol and aiming downwards at the perpetrator who was about to explode.
But her position and angle couldn't effectively shoot the young man.
Seeing that Hou Yiying was about to rush downstairs, Wang Xiyao hugged her waist tightly and refused to allow her to die.
If the gas tank exploded, it would be unimaginable.
Hou Yiying was extremely angry with Wang Xiyao. She scolded and struggled. Seeing that he still refused to let go, she raised the handle of the gun in desperation and hit Wang Xiyao on the head.
Wang Xiyao's glasses fell to the ground, he screamed, blood suddenly appeared on his scalp, and he let go of his hand involuntarily.
Hou Yiying didn't care about him, pushed through the crowd and rushed to the stairs.
Just as she was about to shoot the young man's hand from behind, she suddenly saw a figure as fast as lightning, jumping out from behind the row of policemen, and rushed to the young man in just a few steps. She punched and hit hard.
Hit the young man in the face.
The young man whimpered "Brother" and immediately fell to the ground.
"Xiong Jiandong!"
Hou Yiying saw it clearly and shouted ecstatically.
But her voice was quickly drowned out by the thunderous cheers coming from behind her.
Several special police officers swarmed up and controlled the young man immediately, quickly handcuffed him and left the scene.
Xiong Jiandong and the owner of the hot pot restaurant were also called by the police officers, asking them to go to the police station to record statements.
By the time Hou Yiying drove to the police station, the interrogation of the young man who committed the bombing had already begun.
Wang Xiyao's injury was not serious, so he was dismissed by Hou Yiying and went to the hospital to get bandaged.
After parking the car, before she could get in, she heard the noise of beating and scolding coming from the interrogation room.
It was as if Xiong Jiandong was angry at someone, and his tone of voice was rising and falling.
But to Hou Yiying, it seemed that the force came from another person, and it was a very familiar style, but the tone was fierce and rough.
A police officer stopped Hou Yiying and asked her who she was. Hou Yiying flashed her ID in front of the police officer's eyes, and the officer immediately let her in respectfully.
It turned out that the young man who took the hostage was called Yao Shunzhu, and he was Xiong Jiandong's new godmother in Jiuwei Mountain. The youngest son of Granny Yao, whose nickname was Zhu Zhu.
A few days ago, Xiong Jiandong found Yao Shunzhu and temporarily settled in the car wash where he worked.
Over two years ago, Xiaozhu met a girl who was a waitress at this mutton-shabu restaurant.
The two parties only dated for more than two months, and then they rented a house together and lived together in a daze. Xiaozhu obeyed the girl's orders and gave her all the money he earned every month except for a small amount of pocket money.
It was precisely because of this girl's domineering attitude that Zhuzi did not dare to carry her home to visit his elderly mother for several years.
More than a month ago, Xiaozhu was suddenly kicked out by a girl. Then, the person surrounding her turned into another man, who was the second chef of the mutton-shabu restaurant.
Xiaozhu begged the girl several times to change her mind, but was rebuffed every time.
Tonight, Xiao Zhuzhu drank with some friends and confided his grievances, saying that he had long thought of dying with that girl. Later, he actually took a fruit knife and went to the Shabu-Shabu Hot Pot Restaurant.
Kidnap the girl to the warehouse in the stairwell and have final negotiations with her.
Unexpectedly, this girl was so determined that she decided to marry the second chef of the hotel who could make a lot of money. Xiaozhu was so angry that he recklessly made such a shocking move.
Xiaozhu had his hands cuffed and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been beaten violently by Xiong Jiandong just now and he was confused and could not react.
"Yao Shunzhu, are you really going to take hostages and deliberately cause an explosion in a hot pot restaurant?" This is a police officer asking sternly.
"Yes, I just want to die with that bitch. Just shoot me!"
Xiaozhu pretended to be nonchalant and looked down upon death.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Once the gas explosion succeeds, the customers of the hot pot restaurant, and even the people in the entire building, will die innocently because of your madness?" the police officer asked again.
"I have thought about it, but it is just that we will die together and die together. I don't care about so many things anymore."
Xiao Zhuzhu tilted his head and answered with concentration.
Maybe he really didn't think much about it at the time.
"What does it mean to die together!" Xiong Jiandong's face was livid, and he rushed forward and slapped Xiaozhu on the face.
"You must truthfully report the real purpose in your mind to the police officer. Say that you don't want to kill anyone, nor do you want to kidnap that girl. You just want to scare her and force her to get back together with you!"
Xiong Jiandong said with a vicious look.
"Brother, that bitch lied to me, that's why I..."
Xiaozhu defended.
"That's why you thought you used a fruit knife to scare her."
Xiong Jiandong didn't allow Xiao Zhuzi to finish his words, and kicked him hard again, forcing his stubborn head to wake up immediately, "I said you were impulsive and reckless of the consequences because you were drunk."
