Chapter 174: Hostages

Rewind the clock to a few hours ago.

The location was pulled from Jiang Xiangyang's country to Wen Xun's distant country A.

- Early morning, Don City.

Wen Xun didn't have classes all day today, and there were no special arrangements other than continuing to write her graduate thesis, so she didn't have to get up very early. Still, her biological clock woke her up early.

She stretched and sat up from the bed, and began to look at Jiang Xiangyang's complaints on Xiaoxing, laughing as she watched.

She could almost think of Jiang Xiangyang's expression and mental activity when he sent those words.

After opening WeChat and sending a few messages to Jiang Xiangyang, Wen Xun got out of bed and went to wash.

It's rare not to be lazy today, Wen Xun plans to go out for a serious Chinese breakfast. She prayed that she would find such a shop, and then changed her clothes and went out.

The weather is not bad, because of the proximity to the sea, the breath brought by the wind has a faint smell of sea salt. The sunshine carries the softness of spring, and it makes people feel very comfortable when it shines on people. Wen Xun walked briskly along the map navigation, looking at the things around him that he usually didn't have time to take a good look at.

Eventually, she turned into a Chinese-style breakfast shop.

The Chinese breakfast restaurants in Duncheng are certainly not as authentic as those in China, and the breakfast style is much less than in China. Wen Xun ordered a few things at random, and then sat in his position and waited silently.

After breakfast, Wen Xun went back to school and took the things he needed to study to the library.

In short, up to this point, everything was normal and ordinary.

After sitting in the library for a while, a worker-like figure entered. Like many students who were busy with their own business, Wen Xun didn't look up. It wasn't until the man suddenly grabbed a little girl next to him and pointed a gun at her head, and the little girl burst into tears, that everyone looked in that direction.

The girl looked no more than seven or eight years old, and because the library of Duncheng University was open all year round, it was normal for small children to come in and read books. Wen Xun's hand holding the mouse froze, realizing that there were kidnappings and terrorist attacks in front of him.

In the next moment, Wen Xun was surprised to find that the person holding the gun seemed to be the "Li Qiang" who had asked her for tutoring before.

He dyed his hair to a different color, and his dress changed a lot, and it was not very strange that Wen Xun, who had always been a little faceblind to people from country A, recognized it now. Li Qiang seemed to have seen her too, but he didn't react otherwise.

The library staff stood up from their workstations tremblingly and asked Li Qiang, "What do you want to do?"

Li Qiang didn't answer her, just raised his head and shouted something that sounded like a cult spell, and then grabbed the little girl and wanted to take her away.

"Stop!" the staff shouted at his back, a little crying in their voices.

However, his hand holding the gun to the girl's forehead still stopped there, and his footsteps did not mean to stop.

Wen Xun had already reacted at this time, she hid her mobile phone in her cuffs and quickly sent a message to the police to call the police. She had thought that there should be people doing the same thing, but since she could do it too, doing it again would obviously be more peaceful.

Now that the news had just been sent, seeing that Li Qiang was about to take the little girl away, Wen Xun stood up and shouted, "Wait!"

All eyes were on her at once.

Wen Xun faintly felt that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

She had heard of rumors of reactionary forces in the city when thieves were rampant, but she had always regarded them as rumors, just like everyone else. In addition, after all, she is in a university, and she thinks that her situation should be absolutely safe, and the external turmoil has nothing to do with her.

Until now, the facts are in front of us - even within Don City University, it is not necessarily that there are no such reactionary forces.

Of course, it is doubtful whether this "Li Qiang" is a student of Duncheng University or not.

Wen Xun shouted at him naturally because he wanted to delay time, but now that the little girl was trapped in his hands as a hostage, Wen Xun had no more countermeasures for a while, and after shouting "wait", she didn't know how to continue to delay.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiang, who had just ignored the staff, was very interested in listening to her, turned to look at her with a smile, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Without Wen Xun's response, he moved his gun a little away and fired a shot at the glass window next to him. The glass window shattered in an instant, and if his purpose was to prove that the gun in his hand was the real thing, he succeeded.

No matter how bold Wen Xun is, it is impossible not to feel weak in the face of such a situation. She hadn't figured out what to say, but now that he suddenly shot, she was even more helpless. She was afraid that she would say something wrong and provoke him, so that he, who didn't want to kill in the first place, would start killing now.

"Can't think of it?" he suddenly changed to Chinese to ask Wen Xun, and at this moment, no one present could understand what he was saying except Wen Xun, and Wen Xun was more sure that he was that Li Qiang.

Seeing that he was not in a very excited state, Wen Xun boldly asked him in Chinese, "Why is this so?"

"I'm a kidnapper now!" are you talking to me with that attitude?" he said, laughing. "I'll give you a few more seconds, think about what you're trying to do when you stop me, or I'll kill her right now. ”

He put the gun to the little girl's head again, and the little girl began to cry again.

Looking at his face that gradually became disgusted and impatient, listening to the numbers he counted down getting smaller and smaller, Wen Xun clenched his fists and said in a loud voice, "If what you need is a hostage, I will exchange it with this girl." ”

His countdown stopped, and he freed his hand to hook his finger at Wen Xun.

Wen Xun walked towards him step by step, and with each step, he felt that he might step into the abyss with one foot in the next step.

She quietly glanced at the time, it was nine o'clock in the morning.

If this is in China, the nearest police station must have sent someone.

When she moved to a position where Li Qiang could touch, Li Qiang pushed the little girl away, grabbed Wen Xun instead, and put the muzzle of the gun against her head.

Wen Xun, who originally wanted to give it a try, suddenly calmed down and came to his senses.

- Crazy? The other party is a man with a gun.

She felt the suffocation sensation of being choked by the neck, felt the cold gun against her forehead, and watched the little girl who had been replaced by her back to the safe world stumbling towards the staff, crying and calling out to her, "Mommy." ”

It turned out to be the daughter of the staff. Wen Xun thought, no wonder it was a little familiar.

She didn't know if she was so scared that she was starting to go a little numb that her brain still had time to think about these less important things.

Before she could get an answer, she was half-dragged and half-dragged away.
