By the time Chen Mo arrived at the abandoned factory complex, a security perimeter had already been set up. Five police cars and two Special Police Brigade vehicles were stationed there, everyone on high alert.
This was in the suburbs, not a residential area, so there were no crowds of onlookers.
The road had been sealed off, and no vehicles were allowed near.
"Mr. Chen, I'm Zhuang Yan, captain of the Special Police Brigade and commander of the operation." The dark-skinned man in a special police uniform greeted Chen Mo.
He had already received word that the hostage in the criminals' hands was Chen Mo's younger sister, and that he was to ensure her safety at all costs. The situation inside was complicated, and he did not dare act rashly.
Chen Mo nodded, expressionless. "How is my sister? Where's Wu Qiang?"
"The bodyguard was shot in the arm and is on his way to the hospital. Your sister is inside with the criminal." Zhuang Yan led Chen Mo to the technical vehicle, unfolded the factory map, and pointed to a small suite. "The criminal is in this room on the first floor with the hostage. There are only the two of them in the entire building. But..."
Zhuang Yan's expression instantly turned solemn, tightening Chen Mo's chest with a sense of foreboding.
"This used to be the factory's employee dormitory. There's a bedroom in front and a small bathroom in the back. All the doors and windows have been covered. The criminal planted Homemade Bombs in the walls and along the sides around this small suite. It was clearly prepared in advance. The criminal is in a blind spot, so we can't take him out with a sniper. Judging from his methods, he has received professional training."
