Chapter 1412 - 1461: Cooperation to Rescue Hostages
Originally, it was just a shot or two, with no chance to fire more. After Li Yifei saw the sharpshooter’s series of actions after taking the gun, he felt a bit relieved. His marksmanship was still better than the other’s, but with two people, Li Yifei couldn’t guarantee a 100% hit. He still felt it was better to infiltrate. This way, even if the other side missed the shot and alerted those inside, Li Yifei could maximize the safety of the hostages. One dead is different from six dead.
After a brief exchange, Li Yifei was ready. He took off his bulletproof vest directly—though it wasn’t heavy, it greatly affected his movement when worn. Lin Qiong saw him take off the vest and wanted to say something but held back.
Yue Yonggui was still making useless shout-outs. If those words were effective, they would have worked long ago. Unfortunately, this guy wasn’t aware and was still using his official position to pressure the criminals inside.
Li Yifei and the sharpshooter each wore a communicator in their ears. Li Yifei could hear what was happening on this side. The start could be announced by Li Yifei or the sharpshooter, but it’s better if the sharpshooter said it because he could see the whole picture, and he was in control of the sniper rifle.
If Li Yifei announced the start and something suddenly happened on the other side, everything would end in failure.
Li Yifei chose to start from the rooftop on the side, then quietly infiltrate from the roof. Li Yifei had studied the map, so he was confident he could rush in within two seconds. This required extreme caution; otherwise, if the timing was missed, it would be a failed rescue.
No one asked Li Yifei to do this, but he felt he should because those two criminals had come to the clinic because of him.
Lin Qiong held the walkie-talkie, leaning against the car body, frowning, her eyes fixed on the clinic ahead, sketching Li Yifei’s route in her mind.
The sharpshooter was also adjusting his state, measuring wind speed and other objective factors. He didn’t choose a high point but hid on top of a station wagon, just blocked by a luggage box, showing only the gun muzzle, offering excellent concealment.
The people inside the house weren’t fools; of course, they knew to cover themselves, even having the hostages cover windows with bedsheets. One window was already covered.
Li Yifei was already in position, and there were also police waiting behind, likely that the people inside knew this too. The police watched as Li Yifei climbed down from the building, all stunned, because they didn’t know who he was or what he was doing. They hurriedly reported this to Yue Yonggui, who also didn’t know, but upon hearing his subordinates’ description, he immediately jumped up, rushed to Song Ranmin, and questioned why irrelevant people were allowed in. Song Ranmin, of course, didn’t admit it as all his people were present. Unexpectedly, Yue Yonggui remembered Li Yifei, having just seen him standing next to Song Ranmin, so he exposed it on the spot.
