Chapter 1827: I Really, Really Like You
Joyce, Luther, Justin, and Darrin, along with others, arrived at the periphery of the activity center. They
stood behind the special police, anxiously waiting for news from inside.
At this moment, the special police brought out the blueprint of the activity center and unfolded it for
everyone to see.
Luther took the blueprint and carefully examined it, pointing out two breach points. He analyzed, "It''s
not difficult for the special police to rush in. The difficult part is ensuring the safety of all the hostages
inside."
Joyce agreed, "Because there''s more than one hostage taker."
Darrin spoke up, "General, you can try sniping. The special police have also deployed two snipers."
Joyce shook her head, "Not enough personnel. It''s too risky. Once they start shooting and spraying the
hostages, we can''t take the chance. Let''s see what the negotiator has to say first."
At this point, themand center had already sent Commander Zhao, in charge of today''s terrorist
attack.
Commander Zhao greeted Joyce and nodded to Luther. He had dealt with Luther before, so they were
quite familiar with each other.
"I heard that Young Master Ling is also inside the activity center?" Commander Zhao asked.
"Yes," Luther nodded.
Commander Zhao frowned, feeling even more pressure.
"Khebury hasn''t encountered such a situation in a long time, Mr. Warner. I apologize. I will do my best.
The negotiator will arrive soon."
Luther remained silent, his brows furrowing.
After a while, the negotiator arrived on time andmunicated with the people inside through a
wirelessmunicator.
After somemunication, Commander Zhao asked, "What do these criminals want?"
The negotiator shook his head, "Initially, they demanded 100 million US dors. Then they said they
wanted two helicopters and would take several hostages with them until they reached the border. Later,
they suddenly changed their demand to 500 million US dors. Finally, they said they wanted to
release some of their aplices from prison."
Commander Zhao furrowed his brow.
Luther said, "It feels like they don''t have a clear goal, more like they''re trying to buy time."
The negotiator replied, "That''s right, that''s the feeling I get."
Joyce asked, "Could this be connected to the shooting incident in the city centerst time?"
Commander Zhao thought for a moment, "It''s very possible."
Joyce continued, "I''ll be frank with you. I suspect they are all members of OGW. They don''t have a
clear goal, they just want to create panic in Khebury. In fact, they have already achieved their goal. I
highly suspect that this time they will target the hostages. These people are likely suicide attackers.
They are prepared to be captured or die, so the hostages are in great danger."
Commander Zhao was shocked, "OGW! Oh my god!"
Dealing with such a terrorist organization was beyond his capabilities.
Darrin spoke up, "I have gathered the military''s manpower. We definitely have the advantage on the
periphery. The problem now is how to breach from the inside."
Luther suddenly had an idea, "Do we have the design blueprint for the venttion ducts in the activity
center? I want to take a look. Because there''s a dining area inside the activity center, and where there''s
dining, there must be venttion equipment."
"Okay, I''ll have someone bring it right away," Commander Zhao quickly responded.
Joyce contacted Anderson and asked, "Are you in the men''s restroom or the women''s restroom?"
Anderson replied, "Men''s restroom. Mommy, I can cut off the power here. I can also operate the smart
systems here, but it doesn''t seem to be of much use."
Joyce replied, "Don''t do anything for now. We have to wait until it''spletely dark. What you need to

do now is hide yourself well and don''t get caught."
Anderson replied, "I will, Mommy."
After sending the message, Joyce felt a sense of fatigue throughout her body. Even though Anderson
seemed calm, she couldn''t calm down herself.
Luther held her tightly.
The two sides remained in a stalemate as time passed second by second.
After a long time, a special police officer brought the blueprint of the venttion ducts.
Luther quickly opened it for study and indeed foundplex venttion ducts. He looked around and
pointed to a certain location, saying, "Great, there''s an entrance to the venttion duct right above the
women''s restroom. Perhaps we can try to have Anderson and Fair leave through the venttion duct."
Joyce quickly leaned over to take a look at the blueprint and felt relieved. It was indeed there.
"But the problem with the other hostages remains unresolved."
"Don''t worry, we''ll take it step by step. There will be a way. Once theycane out, we can figure out a
way for others to go in," Darrin said.
"What we need to do now is wait for nightfall," Darrin suggested.
Commander Zhao quickly instructed the negotiator, "You are responsible for buying time, try to engage
them in conversation, persuade them, findmon ground, or propose various exchange ns. It
would be best to have them release a group of hostages first. The pressure of overseeing too many
hostages is also a burden for them."
The negotiator quickly responded, "Understood."
Inside the activity center.
Anderson and Fair were still hiding in the tool cab.
It had been a while, and Anderson felt a bit ufortable with his body bent for so long. He moved his
shoulder, wanting to stretch.
Fair quickly held him down, "Don''t move. It will make noise and it''s dangerous."
"My legs are numb," Anderson whispered.
"I''ll rub them for you," Fair quickly reached out and felt Anderson''s legs, using her tender and childish
hands to massage him.
Anderson was speechless. She actually dared to touch him like that.
"Why did you kiss me earlier? That was my first kiss," he pouted, dissatisfied.
"I was afraid you would scream. We''re so young, what does it matter if we kiss each other?" Fair didn''t
understand.
"How can a girl just kiss anyone casually? Have you kissed someone else like that?" Anderson was not
happy.
"Of course not. It''s also my first time," Fair felt quite speechless.
"That''s more like it. Hmph," Anderson didn''t say anything more.
Fair continued to massage Anderson''s legs.
"Okay, stop rubbing," Anderson suddenly felt unhappy. "Since you were adopted by Uncle Henderson,
why didn''t you contact me? Uncle Henderson must have my mommy''s contact information."
"I..." Fair was at a loss for words. How should she exin her rtionship with Athena? How should
she exin that she had never betrayed Anderson? She was afraid that Anderson would
misunderstand her and hate her, ignore her. She both wanted to see him and felt fearful.
"Why aren''t you saying anything?" Anderson urged.
Fair suddenly spoke up with a tender, sweet voice, "Anderson, I like you. I really, really like you. I miss
you so much."
After speaking, Fair hugged Anderson tightly and didn''t let go.
Anderson was dumbfounded by her young, naive confession.
