Chapter 559 - 570: Kidnapping Case
After several days of calm, that day Li Yifei was chatting idly with his security guards in the company lobby when a piercing siren sounded from outside. And not just one vehicle, it sounded like something major had happened.
"Boss, what’s going on, is there a big case?"
Li Yifei glanced outside and said, "Who knows?" He couldn’t help but think of Lin Qiong, that girl who’d been out of touch lately, seemingly working on a case. Could this have something to do with her?
"Boss, Boss, something big really happened." A security guard exclaimed as he burst through the door of the monitoring room.
Li Yifei immediately entered the monitoring room, where there was a television broadcasting a live report—it was the scene of a kidnapping.
"Ladies and gentlemen, an important robbery and hostage-taking incident has occurred inside the Mile City Museum. The police have now surrounded the museum, and the specifics of the situation are still unclear. We will try to get to the very front line to bring you the most direct reports," the broadcast stated.
On the TV, Li Xinyue was holding a microphone, reporting as a journalist, which puzzled Li Yifei. Wasn’t Li Xinyue a host? How did she end up reporting from the scene?
The guards in the monitoring room were also somewhat puzzled, with one saying, "Isn’t Li Xinyue our company’s image spokesperson, and she is supposed to be a host, right? Reporting on the scene like this doesn’t seem like her job, does it?"
However, Li Xinyue on the television did not address these questions but continued, "This time at the Mile City Museum, several antiques of incalculable value were on display, and a group of criminals targeted these antiques. They are said to have powerful weapons and went straight to the museum to rob it. However, they were discovered by our police, and a firefight ensued. Now, three police officers have bravely sacrificed their lives, but the criminals have been cornered inside the museum. They have taken hostage dozens of visitors there, as well as some museum staff. The situation is extremely critical."
Normally, after such an incident, the police would seal off the news. If they can’t break the case, the police would bear a great responsibility, and the government departments also don’t want to make it too big. When the higher-ups investigate, quite a few people will be in trouble. Li Xinyue dared to report such an incident, and it was unclear whether it was because the local TV station had a conscience or the higher-ups hadn’t had the time to handle it yet.
