Chapter 117 Crime and Punishment 9 (Part 2)

"They have prepared a plan and will use something called a slowdown device to allow all the hostages to escape."

Niya came back to her senses. Taotao in front of her was still talking. Everyone at the scene was stunned. Zhao Zhen stood up. Niya didn't do anything. She just took out a cigarette tremblingly. At this time, a supervisor present shouted angrily.

"Do you know what you're doing? Do you know? Are you crazy?"

Taotao turned around, her face already filled with tears. She looked at the faces with different expressions, but they were all extremely angry and said.

"He just wants to know the truth, why won't you announce it?"

Faced with Taotao's questioning, Niya chose to remain silent. The live broadcast continued. Along with a violent roar, Niya's expression became solemn. She turned around and ran to the window outside. The passage connecting the canteen was blown up. , the flames steamed up, the shock wave of the explosion spread, and the surrounding area was quickly swallowed up by the flames.

"You bastard!"

Niya cursed and Zhao Zhen laughed.

"Let everyone come to my designated room, otherwise..."

"I know."

Niya took out the phone and quickly explained the situation to the outside. Then Niya directly asked a supervisor to turn on the broadcast in the building. According to Zhao Zhen's request, everyone could only go there in horror as Zhao Zhen said. designated room.

8:41

"Failed."

Mo Xiaolan pressed his head angrily. Everyone in the office was silent. The efforts of tens of thousands of people for several hours were all in vain. Zhao Zhen had already said that once anyone is found leaving the room designated by Zhao Zhen, a bomb will be fired. It will explode in no time.

The explosion just now did not cause any casualties. Only the passage connecting the canteen was blown up. It seemed that there were many more bombs planted in the building than there actually were.

The only flaw in the plan that Mo Xiaolan had considered before was that bombs had been placed elsewhere in the building. Once the escape started, Zhao Zhen would definitely know about it immediately and detonate the bomb. The only dangerous point in this plan was that there was no way Avoided.

Mo Xiaolan knew from the beginning that this seemingly seamless plan would have casualties, but Mo Xiaolan didn't say anything. Instead, he structured the plan in a short time and took action directly in a short time. .

From Mo Xiaolan's point of view, rescuing 70% of the hostages is the best result. But now the plan has failed. Mo Xiaolan looked at CBV's main channel. Now everyone in the city is watching. , this sudden situation caught the entire business department off guard.

Nowadays, the originally quiet city has become lively again, and people are calling constantly. They are the family members of CBV staff who have been comforted.

Mo Xiaolan pressed his forehead and was still thinking about all the current countermeasures, because Zhao Zhen had regained the initiative. He blew up the passage connecting the canteen, just to remind the business department not to act rashly again.

"What should we do now?"

Noah sat next to Mo Xiaolan, and Mo Xiaolan looked at Lilian opposite.

"What are the results of the investigation?"

"We have investigated the place where the female anchor Taotao lives, and there are indeed Zhao Zhen's footprints inside. According to the analysis of the scattered hair and skin tissue, the earliest traces are from a month ago."

boom

Mo Xiaolan slapped the table and looked angrily at Taotao, who was still crying on the screen.

"What should we do? Because of this stupid woman, we have all lost now, and all our efforts over the past day have been in vain."

Bu Xiaolan closed his eyes.

"Nothing you say or do now will help."

Mo Xiaolan put away his angry expression and continued to look at the light and shadow screen.

Taotao walked up to Zhao Zhen.

"Can you let everyone go? None of this has anything to do with the people here. I can be your hostage."

Zhao Zhen looked at Taotao in confusion. If it weren't for her, the business department would have taken tough measures now. Even if he could detonate a large number of bombs in an instant, hostages would still be rescued. Zhao Zhen laughed. , looked at Niya angrily.

"Is this your sincerity? There are still 40 minutes until 9:30. If the truth is not announced at 9:30..."

"knew!"

Niya looked at Taotao helplessly. She looked apologetic, but it was useless to say more now. Niya turned and left the studio. After she walked out, she did not leave the CBV building, but came to a On the small balcony outside, his hands were pressed on the railings, their hands still trembling.

Nia didn't know what the woman was thinking, but at this juncture, she actually suffered from Stockholm syndrome, which Nia didn't expect.

Soon a piece of news came over. After Niya read it, she smiled helplessly. Sure enough, this woman had been living with Zhao Zhen for more than a month. She clarified her thoughts as soon as she saw Niya.

Although Zhao Zhen took Taotao into the CBV building at first and immediately hijacked everyone. When Niya came in and saw Taotao, she also felt a little confused. Firstly, she was pregnant, and secondly, she was initially used as an example by Zhao Zhen.

"Should have thought of it sooner."

Niya slapped her forehead. This kind of situation had happened many times in the city in the past. After being harmed by the perpetrator for a long time, the victim not only did not hate the perpetrator, but was grateful to the perpetrator, and even gave birth to a child. Feelings come, and finally even assist the perpetrator to commit the crime.

Niya looked down at the circular tube passage leading to the cafeteria that had been reduced to ruins. The bombs Taotao and Zhao Zhen planted elsewhere in the building were two points in the rescue plan that were difficult to think of and deal with.

Niya flipped her hair in annoyance. Now it only takes one thought from Zhao Zhen, and the building will be destroyed. There will be more than 4,000 people in an instant, and no one can survive.

Niya lay on the ground, pressed her head, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke while enjoying the dim sunlight.

"Is the only way to reveal the truth?"

Niya smiled bitterly. Now the eyes of the whole city are focused on this building. Once the building explodes, it will probably be a long-lasting memory for the people in the whole city, and the whole city will be even more... of indifference.

"What should I do!"

Niya felt powerless and kept using lies to cover up everything. This was the final result. Maybe some part of the woman's heart was shaken, so she did such a thing.

After a while, Niya stood up. She had to confirm something. After Niya walked into the studio, she shouted directly.

"Come out with me."

After a while, Taotao trembled and followed Niya to the balcony. Niya lay on the guardrail and looked into the distance.

"What on earth are you thinking? If you are lucky enough to survive, there is no place for you to survive in this city."

Taotao pursed her lips and shook her head, wiping away the tears that overflowed her eyes.

"Lady Nia, I'm really sorry."

"Are you in love with him?"

Taotao closed her eyes for a while, then she shook her head.

"No, his behavior is a crime. I know this very well. I did not suddenly suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. I am indeed grateful to him. The previous peeping tom installed surveillance cameras in my home. It's him........"

Niya smiled and nodded.

"So what exactly is it?"

Taotao pressed her abdomen.

"Lady Niya, I have a child."

Niya hummed.

“I’ve been thinking about it these past few days. If my unborn child is born and this city is still filled with violent lies and injustice, it would be too cruel. So I think the truth is important, and I sympathize with him. He spent half of his life living in a tragic accident because of all kinds of lies. Didn’t Master Le Xiao say that he wanted to change this city? "

Niya laughed, then turned around and said.

"This is very serious, miss, but it seems like you know what will happen if you do this. Go back and have a good rest. At least stay close to me. If there is an explosion, at least I will be within reach."

Taotao didn't say anything. After bowing slightly, she turned and left. Niya knew very well that many things have limits. It is impossible to judge right or wrong, justice or not. Many things can only be considered from a standpoint. , we can only stop here, because if we continue to argue or think about it, it will become weak and pale. Only the truth is an established and unchanging fact.

9:11

Le Xiao clenched her hands, her palms full of sweat. She looked at the CBV live broadcast channel. Everyone in the office had been silent for a long time. Things had reached this point.

"Is it really wrong to want to know the truth?"

Le Xiao muttered and lowered her head. In fact, she had the answer in her heart a long time ago. There is nothing wrong with wanting to know the truth. What is wrong is those who cover up everything with lies.

Everything today is caused by the continuous accumulation of lies. Le Xiao has known it for a long time. Not only Le Xiao knows it, but also many people around Le Xiao know it, but everyone has long been numb.

"No one has as much time as you to pay attention to such nonsense? Are you mentally ill or something? Why don't you go to heaven!"

In her mind, Le Xiao remembered what her boss at the last news agency she worked for said to herself, because she had previously reported on an orphanage donation ceremony and situation. Everything was beautiful at first, but then there was a child in the orphanage. Found Le Xiao.

The child told Le Xiao that they had not received any funding. This was already half a year after the report. Le Xiao immediately began to secretly investigate and prepare the report. After investigating everything, what he received was such a cold scolding from his boss.

That orphanage has become a place for some people to launder money. The orphanages inside have only received a small part of the aid, and the problems still exist and have not been improved.

Le Xiao finally revealed the matter, and was scolded as a result. Fortunately, the 5th Department promptly investigated and made the matter calm. Le Xiao knew very well at the time that the child was looking for him because he was helpless. Yes, if he really had other methods, he would not come to him.

The world of adults is always like this. This seems incredible to Le Xiao, and she is also speechless, because many things can be done with just a little effort, but most people choose to remain silent or selectively ignore everything.

9:13

Le Xiao pressed her forehead anxiously, when Ran Zai saw Le Xiao's appearance and walked over.

"What's wrong, Secretary? Are you worried?"

Le Xiao panicked and hurriedly called out some reports.

"No... no way."

Ran Zai leaned over and took a look and whispered.

"How about you go over and tell everything in front of everyone, just like you did before."

Le Xiao's head buzzed, she clenched her hands and closed her eyes. In her mind was the muddy street in front of her house, but it was full of sunshine and laughter all around.

"I... go out for a while."

Everyone looked at Le Xiao, she ran out hurriedly and took out her phone immediately.

"Where are you, Sister Alpha?"

"What's wrong?"

Le Xiao stopped at the elevator entrance.

"Can you take me there? I... that... I just want to say a few words."

"I know, you wait for me in the square of the General Affairs Department, I will be there in 3 minutes."

After Le Xiao entered the elevator, she ran out of the General Affairs Department quickly. Many staff members looked at her in confusion, thinking that something big had happened. Seeing Le Xiao's panic.

As soon as Le Xiao came to the square, she saw a black shadow appear on the building in the distance under the sunlight. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow was already visible. With a loud bang, Alpha was wrapped in black particles all over her body, and a black electric current was wrapped around her body. She looked at Le Xiao very seriously.

"Think it over, if you go over..."

"I am willing to bear all the consequences, Sister Alpha, take me over."

Le Xiao looked at the white square, she still clearly remembered every word that Gene said when he pushed her up that day.

Le Xiao smiled, then turned around and squatted.

"Come up."

At this moment, a large number of directors jumped directly from the building, and Alpha looked solemn.

"Miss Alpha, what do you want to do? Lord Le Xiao."

Soon a director took out the light and shadow screen, and Locke's anxious image appeared.

"President, what are you going to do, calm down, the current situation..."

"Fatty, there is no point in saying more!"

With a whoosh, Alpha carried Le Xiao to a distance. She still clearly remembered that when Section 10 was about to launch a light nuclear weapon attack that night, Le Xiao was the first to stop it, without any hesitation.

Although Le Xiao was a little hesitant about this matter, perhaps she had decided at the beginning, and that vote was enough to explain everything.

"Remember as much as you can. I will simply explain to you some things that you don't know."

Le Xiao hummed.

The CBV building can be seen in front of us. Alpha slowed down and kept talking about something. Le Xiao's expression was startled. She knew very well that if this matter wanted to be resolved smoothly, the truth was needed.

"The truth can pierce everything!"

Le Xiao said seriously. Alpha smiled and stood opposite the CBV building. In an instant, Alpha saw Niya on the balcony. She jumped over with Le Xiao on her back. Both of their mobile phones were already on the ground.

"Why did you bring her here, sister!"

Niya stared at Alpha and Le Xiao with a serious face in a daze. Her fists were clenched and red lightning was entangled around her body.

"Can you stop me, Niya!"

Swoosh

Niya's fist hit over. After Alpha grabbed it, he threw Le Xiao in with his other hand.

"Alpha!"

Niya roared.
