288: Chapter 288: Command in Hand!

Several SWAT officers couldn’t help but snicker as they saw Su Xuan’s righteous demeanor.

Just then, Su Xuan turned around and said to the beautician, whose face was full of surprise, “Beauty, sorry about this.”

Having said that, Su Xuan turned and left the room.

In the city streets, a Humvee SWAT vehicle zipped by at breakneck speed.

Inside, the other SWAT officers stared in amazement at Su Xuan’s hands.

In a very short time, he had finished inspecting and assembling an ******** rifle, so swiftly that even veteran officers felt their eyes blur.

Fenghua Bank was indeed a reserve of funds for Fenghua Group.

A robbery would definitely impact Fenghua Group.

Therefore, this issue was a thorny one for Su Xuan.

The reason Huang Weishan had sought Su Xuan was that he knew of Su Xuan’s prowess and could find no one else better suited for the operation.

He had no choice but to bet all on Su Xuan, hoping against hope it would work.

The Humvee SWAT vehicle quickly arrived at the scene on Xiahua Street from the Heavenly Life Entertainment Club.

The vehicle firmly parked at a crossroads, a hundred meters from the bank.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, Su Xuan jumped out with a sniper rifle.

Seeing his arrival, many armed police and officers finally relaxed their furrowed brows somewhat, and Director Huang Weishan breathed a sigh of relief as he approached him.

Although Su Xuan was somewhat frustrated since he had just gotten to know what a “big health care” was and hadn’t yet enjoyed it when he was pulled out to this place.

Frustrated as he might have been, Su Xuan had a very strong mental constitution, and serving the people had always been his highest creed.

With robust combat readiness, as soon as he stepped out of the vehicle, Su Xuan began scrutinizing his surroundings for the best sniping position based on the bank’s location.

In just a moment, he spotted an excellent sniping spot.

Just then, Director Huang Weishan from the Economic Development Zone police came striding over, excitedly saying, “With your help, I can finally be a bit relieved!”

After speaking, he immediately reached out his hand to Su Xuan.

Without putting on airs, Su Xuan naturally extended his hand and exchanged a symbolic handshake with the Director.

At that moment, a familiar figure caught Su Xuan’s eyes.

Han Caiyin!

Seeing Su Xuan step out from the Humvee, Han Caiyin was shockingly agape.

“So this is the man Director called in for help!” Han Caiyin muttered to herself with a smile towards Su Xuan.

Su Xuan gave her a look, acknowledging her greeting as well.

Han Caiyin was also a SWAT officer.

With such a serious incident, she naturally had to be deployed.

Su Xuan followed Director Huang Weishan and Director Lin Aijun of the Xiahua Street Police Station towards another command vehicle nearby.

Inside the command vehicle, a female officer pulled up some data on a computer and said to Su Xuan, “There are three robbers inside the bank, all escaping murderers named Wu Xiaobo, Zhang Zhichao, and Li Tieshu.

These three are extremely vicious and formidable.”

Su Xuan stared at the data on the computer screen, memorized the information about the three men, and got it firmly in his mind after one glance.

The situation here was beyond Su Xuan’s expectations.

He hadn’t anticipated that all three robbers were seasoned criminals, sly and difficult to handle.

Su Xuan frowned.

The three robbers were desperate criminals; killing these men would not be difficult for him, but ensuring the hostages’ safety would be compromised!

“Could you introduce their weaponry?” Su Xuan asked, his eyes still fixed on the screen.

“These three are armed with two Type 54 pistols.

As for other armaments, we have no new information yet,” the officer quickly answered Su Xuan’s question.

“What about the hostages inside the bank?” Su Xuan continued.

“The three bank employees inside have already been killed.

They’ve robbed all the cash from the bank and are trapped inside.

Their emotions are very unstable, particularly agitated.

They are holding ten hostages, including three children.”

Su Xuan nodded and frowned as he looked at the semicircular defense perimeter formed by police cars around the bank entrance.

“The police presence so close to the scene doesn’t serve any practical purpose, as the robbers are unlikely to break out in such a situation.

Moreover, this formation could psychologically oppress the robbers, easily pushing them to a desperate, ‘do-or-die’ mentality.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Weishan also felt that Su Xuan made sense.

If the robbers were indeed pushed to a do-or-die situation, then he would be packing up and leaving tomorrow.

“Su Xuan, what do you suggest then?”

“Director Huang, since you are the commander on site, I’ll speak frankly.

There are two options.

Either, I go now to the sniper spot I have determined and follow your command, doing my best to eliminate the enemy, though I can’t guarantee success; or, temporarily hand over the command of the scene to me, let everyone follow my orders, and I’ll organize the entire operation.”

Upon hearing Su Xuan say this, Huang Weishan looked both surprised and worried.

Although he had had some dealings with Su Xuan before, their contact was not deep, and it was mostly based on hearsay about how competent Su Xuan was, recalled on the spur of the moment, particularly from some inside information from the supermarket a few days ago.

Weishan did know a bit about Su Xuan’s capabilities, but how competent he truly was remained uncertain.

If he rashly handed over command, he would be placing his official cap in Su Xuan’s hands.

For Huang Weishan, this required some daring, especially commanding several hundred police officers in such a significant operation.

He didn’t know if Su Xuan was capable of managing it, not to mention the fact that there were more than a dozen hostages at stake, a matter of life and death.

Huang Weishan pondered for a moment and looked towards Director Lin Aijun, saying, “Director Lin, can we step aside for a moment?”

Lin Aijun walked a distance away with Huang Weishan, who then asked in a low voice, “Director Lin, do you think this Su Xuan is reliable?

I’ve never met him before.

Although he is responsible for the bank and can assist, what if something goes wrong?

My job would be on the line.

He is demanding full command right off the bat, and we’re talking about human lives here, not a child’s play.

Yet, with the command in my hands, I also haven’t achieved much.

It’s frustrating!”

Lin Aijun responded, “I haven’t had much contact with Su Xuan either, but your niece is friends with him.

You could ask her whether he’s reliable!”

If Su Xuan had heard these two leaders worrying about their jobs and questioning his capability, he would have exploded in anger.

“Good idea!”

Huang Weishan immediately sent a police officer nearby to call his niece over.

“Cai Yin, you know Su Xuan.

He now wants full command of the operation, and I’m not too sure about his ability.

Do you think he can handle the command?” Huang Weishan looked at his niece seriously and asked.

After pondering for a while, Han Caiyin said, “Su Xuan’s capability is beyond doubt, and he is also the head of the bank.

He probably cares more about this bank than anyone else.

I trust that he wouldn’t act recklessly, and with his status and background, uncle, you must know something about him too.

This should be enough to prove that Su Xuan is capable of commanding this battle, and besides, he is already highly competent in himself!”

Hearing Han Caiyin affirm Su Xuan’s capabilities so assuredly, Huang Weishan decided to take a leap of faith, resolved to hand over the command to Su Xuan.

After all, he had been sitting in an office for too long, severely lacking real battle command experience.

For such a major case, concerning his very own official cap, though risky, it remained a prudent choice.

The two returned to where Su Xuan was, and Huang Weishan solemnly stated, “Su Xuan, I’m handing over the site command to you.

You must bring the criminals to justice and ensure the safety of the hostages!”

Su Xuan nodded slightly and said, “Director Huang, nothing is absolute, but I will do my utmost.”

“Good!”

Huang Weishan immediately ordered someone to equip Su Xuan with a set of walkie-talkies.

Then, he personally picked up a radio and announced, “Attention all units, this is Huang Weishan.

From now on, you all follow Su Xuan’s command.

All of his orders must be executed unconditionally.

Do you understand?”

Several firm voices came through Su Xuan’s earpiece, saying, “Understood!”

Although some had never heard of Su Xuan, they all knew that anyone who could stand out to command such an operation was a rare expert.

Numerous special forces and police officers quietly awaited Su Xuan’s orders.

Director Lin Aijun of Xiahua Police Station advised, “Su Xuan, this matter is of great importance.

The robbers are ferocious and ruthless, and it may be impossible to keep all hostages safe.

You should manage the situation and try to minimize the losses.”

Su Xuan nodded slightly, turned, and headed towards his predetermined sniper point, quickly disappearing into the corridor opposite the bank building.

Two hundred and fifty meters from the Fenghua Bank lobby.

Su Xuan had reached his chosen sniper point, estimated the distance, set up his sniper rifle, and quickly adjusted the scope.

As the view of the bank lobby gradually zoomed in through the sniper scope, Su Xuan saw three bodies lying in pools of blood, all wearing bank uniforms – apparently the three slain bank staff.

At that moment, a fierce-looking man appeared in his crosshairs, and Su Xuan quickly recognized that this guy was none other than the ringleader, Wu Xiaobo.

Su Xuan aimed the crosshairs at Wu Xiaobo’s temple.

At that moment, with a slight pull of the trigger, he could easily end Wu Xiaobo’s life, blowing his head apart.

However, within the visible range, only Wu Xiaobo, this one criminal, could be seen.

The whereabouts of the other two accomplices were unknown.

In dealing with such a gang, Su Xuan would have to coordinate with other snipers to identify all their targets.

If they were to shoot, they needed to eliminate all the robbers simultaneously.

Even leaving one alive, or barely breathing, could endanger the hostages’ safety.
