The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 122 - 122 122 A Critical Moment

122: Chapter 122: A Critical Moment 122: Chapter 122: A Critical Moment Because Tang Yun had been captured by them, he now had to join them, pretending to be held hostage by several gunmen, and just see how things would unfold.

At this moment, the three of them should leave the jewelry store immediately, at least to ensure the safety of the staff and customers inside so that he could take action more conveniently.

“Where’s the car I asked for?

If it doesn’t arrive soon, I’m going to start killing hostages.” After about ten minutes, the leader of the gunmen grew impatient and fired a shot at the leg of a staff member next to him.

“Ah!” The employee screamed in agony.

Ye Shikai clenched his fists.

These lunatics, he hadn’t expected them to shoot the hostages directly.

Ye Shikai glanced at the injured employee – thankfully, the leader had only shot him in the leg; it was not fatal.

Ye Shikai had once been a soldier, and protecting the people was his mission.

But for now, he had to hold his breath and wait until they got outside, then he would make these people pay.

A gunshot also made the hearts of the police outside the door skip a beat – these criminals were so vicious.

“Where’s the car?

When is it coming?” Lin Dong was getting anxious.

If a hostage was killed, things would become much more severe.

It was crucial now to keep these criminals calm.

“Old Lin, the car is on its way,” Song Tian said from the side.

“Captain Lin, Director Song, when do we take action?” At this time, Zhang Ting spoke behind the two men.

She had already changed into a special police uniform and was holding a sniper rifle, looking particularly imposing, like a valiant female general.

Lin Dong, holding binoculars and looking at the store entrance, was very anxious, but the men hadn’t come out yet – a frontal assault by the SWAT team would be too risky.

“Let’s wait a bit longer, wait for them to come out.”

“This…

all right.” Zhang Ting looked a bit helpless, glancing at the door, understanding Lin Dong’s hesitations – rushing in blindly without information was a gamble no one was willing to take.

“Attention inside, the car you requested is arriving soon.

Please don’t be agitated, and do not harm the hostages,” Lin Dong shouted into the megaphone towards the interior.

“Old Lin, that’s an armored vehicle.

If we let them get in the car, especially with the hostages, they might just escape,” Song Tian said.

Lin Dong was very much aware of this, but with the criminals being so resolute and public safety being the top priority, there was no easy option.

“Captain Lin, I suggest we take them down while they move from the door to the car,” Zhang Ting offered a suggestion.

After hearing it, Lin Dong fell into deep thought — the distance from the door to the point where the car would stop was probably only about twenty meters.

Could they eliminate the targets simultaneously?

“Do you think you can manage it?” Lin Dong asked seriously.

“Yes.

We can select some snipers from the special police team, one target per person.

We are confident we can take them out simultaneously,” Zhang Ting assured.

As an outstanding sharpshooter, she had to believe in herself – if she didn’t believe in her own abilities, who else would?

“Alright, get into your shooting positions and prepare immediately.”

“Yes, sir.

Mission will be accomplished,” Zhang Ting saluted and then turned to leave.

Inside the store.

Seconds and minutes ticked by, but the armored car demanded by the criminals still hadn’t arrived.

Ye Shikai watched the anxious gunmen, growing nervous himself, fearing they would fire again and hurt the hostages, or even worse, kill Tang Yun or Shi Chengyu.

“Boss, I’d like to discuss something with you,” Ye Shikai said, thinking it was time to play the subordinate.

“What do you want to do?” A gunman immediately pointed his gun at him, and Ye quickly feigned a very frightened expression.

“Let my wife go, and I’ll cooperate,” Ye Shikai said, Tang Yun also turned her head looking at him, her face filled with excitement, but abruptly she shook her head, “No, I’ll go with you, you…

let my husband go,” Tang Yun said, almost letting something slip in the heat of the moment.

“Everyone just calm down.

Since you love each other so much, then get out of here,” the boss said impatiently.

Ye Shikai was also feeling helpless; why would Tang Yun choose such a time for a do-or-die stance?

Besides, she didn’t know he was a cultivator who could easily escape, thinking he was just an ordinary person.

“Boss, the car is here, let’s go.” At this moment, a gunman turned and spoke to the boss, who then looked outside at the armored car and nodded his agreement.

“Alright, let’s leave.” After saying this, he began to slowly escort the three hostages out of the jewelry store.

“Old Lin, look quick, all four criminals are coming out,” Song Tian said urgently when he saw the gunmen coming out.

Tang Yun had reported four criminals, so they were confident there were no remaining criminals inside the store.

“Sniper team, targets are in sight, prepare to take them down,” Captain Lin gave the critical order through the headset, seizing the moment.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

…

Several snipers including Zhang Ting responded.

Zhang Ting’s assigned target was the gunman holding Ye Shikai hostage.

When he saw Ye Shikai through the scope, Zhang Ting was somewhat shocked, thinking to himself, Damn, why is that guy everywhere?

Last time that guy caused me to lose face, but since he is a hostage, as a police officer, it’s my duty to save him.

With just twenty meters of distance, I have to be fully alert.

Ye Shikai had excellent eyesight, and looking at the distant snipers, he immediately grasped the intentions of the police.

“Tang Yun, Mr.

Shi, listen up, when I hit the ground, you do the same,” Ye Shikai whispered so that only the three of them could hear.

Although Shi Chengyu and Tang Yun did not understand his intention, they nodded in agreement.

“All units, open fire.” At this moment, Captain Lin gave the command to fire, and following this command, four bullets shot out simultaneously from four sniper rifles.

“Get down!” Ye Shikai reacted swiftly, yelling out loud as soon as he saw the flash from the sniper rifle muzzles, immediately squatting down, and Shi Chengyu and Tang Yun also did the same when they saw him stopping.

Almost simultaneously, the bullets hit the heads of several gunmen; the gunman behind Ye Shikai was shot in the center of his forehead, falling down in response.

“Damn it,” the gang leader yelled out.

To Ye Shikai’s surprise, the leader actually ducked, and the bullet only grazed his ear.

He wasn’t dead.

Enraged and humiliated, the leader, one hand clutching his profusely bleeding ear, took a gun with his other hand and shot at Tang Yun, who was next to Ye Shikai.

Ye Shikai felt an urge to curse; the bullet was coming too fast; he might not be able to push Tang Yun away in time, and the bullet was aimed right at her head – this way, Tang Yun was sure to die.

There was no other way, Ye Shikai sighed inwardly, stretching out his right hand, immediately releasing Inner Strength to form a pale purple Energy Shield in front of Tang Yun.

Tang Yun was so scared she couldn’t even close her eyes, watching as the bullet shot towards her, five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter, but the following scene shocked her even more – the bullet was getting slower and slower, and Tang Yun could even clearly see the trajectory of the bullet…

With a “clang,” Tang Yun staggered two steps backward, and the bullet had actually landed on the ground in front of her.
