“What idea?” A look of delight spread across Zyon’s face. “As expected of my grandma! You’re so
awesome!”Jacinta shot an exasperated nce at him. “Cut the ttery. Sit here and discuss with
me.”While the police were urgentlying up with a n, Winnie, Xavier, and Josiah sat at the side
and listened.Pointing at a map of the docks with a pen, Zayn instructed his subordinates, “The boat
they requested will enter from hereter. The rest stop has two doors—one in front and one at the
back. Although it’s less likely that they’ll barge out from the front, we still need a few men to keep a
lookout there. The containers are all located behind the rest stop. After walking around the containers,
they’ll be able to enter the sea or board the boat. Most likely, this will be the route they choose. Since
the containers are blocking our vision, we’ll need our snipers to position themselves at a high spot to
secure a good field of vision.”After a slight pause, he continued, “Since we’re very close to the sea, it’ll
be difficult for the snipers to aim urately if the kidnappers are moving quickly with the hostages.
Hence, there’s not a lot that we can do ashore. Our focus should be on the boat that we’ve prepared for
them. It’s a yacht that is big enough to hide two people inside and two people in the basement. In total,
there are four hiding positions. Before subduing the kidnappers, you must remain hidden and not
expose yourselves. The GPS on the yacht is connected to our GPS system, so we can track it
regardless of where it goes. Remember that the most important task after boarding the boat is to
ensure the hostages’ safety. You can shoot at the kidnappers when the need arises.
Understand?”“Understood!”“Now, calibrate your watches. It’s five minutes before the agreed timing with
the kidnappers. Go to your positions!”“Yes, sir!” shouted the SWAT officers uniformly before
dispersing.The ce immediately became quiet.After thinking for a while, Josiah offered, “Lieutenant
Zielinski, ask away if you need my help with anything. I brought a medical kit with me.”“Okay!” replied
Zayn with a nod. Immediately afterward, the phone on the car’s hood rang.It was Rachel’s father’s
phone. The caller’s name disyed on the screen was saved in the contacts as “Daughter.”ncing at
it, Zayn frowned instantly. “It’s a call from the kidnappers.”With that, he signaled at his colleagues
behind him and answered the call.When Zayn heard the new conditions that Zyon demanded over the
phone, he frowned. Yet, to ensure the hostages’ safety, he had no choice but to agree.In that case,
however, his initial deployments would have gone to waste.Trying to stall for time, he requested, “Since
you changed your mind at thest minute, you must give us some time to prepare.”“Cut the crap! If you
come up with any more excuses, I’ll start killing the hostages!”Even though Winnie and the rest did not
manage to overhear the conversation on the phone, they clearly heard Zyon’s loud yell.Knowing that
Zyon wanted to stall for time as much as possible, Winne whispered to Zayn, “Let me try. I’ll ask to
speak to my grandma and get more time for us to make preparations.”Zayn nodded and passed the
phone to Winne quietly.After epting the phone, Winnie said directly, “Zyon, I’m Winnie. I know that
Granny is in your hands. I want to ensure that she’s still alive, so let me speak to her for a while.”At the
same time, Zayn changed his n at thest minute and ryed the instructions to the relevant
officers.“There are so many people at the docks, but you picked my granny out of everyone! Is it
because you hate me? If that’s the case, I’m willing to swap positions with her.”Winnie’s words
sessfully attracted Zyon’s attention.“Haha! So it’s you, Winnie! You arrived quickly, huh? How do
you feel now? Are you scared? That’s why you shouldn’t have done what you did in the past. If you
hadn’t opposed me, how would things have be like this?”“I know that you hate me, so I’ll be your
hostage. Release Granny and Rachel.”“What do you think you’re doing, Winnie? Are you negotiating
with me right now? Are you offering yourself in exchange for two hostages? Don’t you know very well
who’s the kidnapper here?”“Fine! We don’t need to swap if you find it troublesome. Let my granny
answer the phone. I want to hear her voice.” Although Zyon gave no response, Winnie could hear the
sound of him kicking someone.Immediately, Jacinta’s voice rang out. “Winnie! Is it you, Winnie? It’s
dangerous here! Leave now! Stop meddling in this!”“Granny!”When Winnie heard Jacinta’s voice, her
heart skipped a beat. Even at this critical moment, her granny was still worried about her safety as an
outsider.If anything happens to Granny, I don’t know what to do anymore!However, she knew that the
more dangerous the situation was, the more she must not lose her cool.Maintaining a calmposure,
she asked, “Are you okay, Granny? Did you get hurt?”“No, I’m good. I’m not hurt. You must go now!
Stop staying there!”“It’s great that you’re not hurt. What about Rach? How is she? Did she get shot? Is
it serious?”“Yeah!” Jacinta’s voice immediately became anxious. “Rach was shot in the leg and has lost
a lot of blood. Winnie, tell the police outside to quickly agree to Zyon’s requests. He said that he’d
release us after he reaches the high seas. Since he’s nning to flee, he can’t possibly bring us with
him for the rest of the journey. And it’s so hot now! If Rach’s wound gets infected, her life will be in
danger. She might even die!”“Haha! Did you hear that?” Not giving Jacinta a chance to speak further,
Zyon snatched the phone away. “Let the previous policeman answer the call and follow my instructions.
In the end, the hostage might die not from my beatings but from how much time the f*cking police have
wasted!”“Got it!” Zayn took the phone. “We’ll follow your instructions. The crane and the boat are all
ready. The cash that you’ve requested is already on the boat too.”“Very good! Don’t hang up and
continue listening to my orders.”To avoid being shot in the head, Zyon did not even leave the rest
stop.The back door of the rest stop opened up to the containers right next to it.The moment they
opened the back door, they could just open one of the containers and hide inside. In that case, they
would not expose any parts of their body and could minimize the chances of getting shot.After they
regained their footing and closed the door of the container, they would instruct the police to transport
them to the nearest cargo ship using the crane.The next step was the key to their escape n.Prior to
that day, Zyon had already been making preparations for his sea voyage and had contacted a ship to
pick him up.Since it was not the agreed-upon time yet, the ship had not shown up.That was why he
took hostages and requested the police to provide him with a boat—to distract the police and stall for
time.His ship would be arriving soon. In addition to the cargo ship and the containers blocking the
police’s field of vision, it would make it extremely convenient for him to escape.Till now, his n was
progressing very smoothly.By the time the police realized that Zyon did not board the ship they had
specifically prepared for him, it was toote.He had already fled with the hostages!“D*mn it! We fell for
his trick!” cursed Zayn through gritted teeth when he realized that something was going on. “Inform the
coast guards to pursue them on speedboats! We must not let them enter the high seas!
Quickly!”Unable to care about anything else, Winnie sprinted toward the cargo ship.Although she would
definitely be slower than the coast guard’s speedboats, she could not be bothered anymore. She was
running uncontrobly like her legs had a mind of their own.The yacht that the police had prepared for
Zyon was behind the cargo ship. Since it was blocked by the ship, the people ashore could not see it.In
the next second, a loud boom sounded. mes enveloped the yacht as it exploded.At the same time,
Zayn received an update. “Don’t get near it! Everyone, leave! Zyon’s men nted a bomb on the yacht.
It’s possible that there are bombs in the containers and the cargo ship too, so all of you need to leave
now!”The people ashore were quite close to the massive cargo ship, including Winnie, who was closer
than anyone else.Suddenly, a deafening boom split the air as the cargo ship exploded. Smoke billowed
into the sky, heating the air around it.The huge ship exploded into smithereens as waves of seawater
surged ashore, bringing chunks of metal along with it. Without any mercy, the water submerged
everyone in its vicinity.Winnie had nowhere to go either.
