Charlie was not surprised at all when he saw Helen and Sophie walk out of the Treasure Pavilion.
He had long felt that this matter was not as simple as i t seemed.
Now, the fact that Helen and Sophie would walk out under Zakir's coercion reinforced his view on this matter. 3
However, he hadn't quite figured out who would go to such great lengths and make such a big detour just to make a move on the ladies.
At this moment, Helen and Sophie had completely walked out of the Treasure Pavilion while Zakir followed them closely with a gun in one hand and the detonator in the other.
He looked up to the surrounding tall buildings, sneered, and said to the police officers, "I know you must have positioned around many snipers who are ready to shoot me down at any moment, but I suggest you reconsider your actions carefully because I have the detonator here in my hand. Even if it is in the hands of a one-year-old, the slightest slip of a finger will detonate the bomb instantly! If you're happy to die together with me today, go ahead and let your snipers shoot me!"
Hansen spoke in a cold voice, "Zakir Luiz, don’t worry! As long as you do not act rashly, we will not shoot you! We have prepared the car for you, so you can leave at any time, but before you go, release the hostages!" 3
"Release the hostages?" Zakir sneered contemptuously. "You're kidding, right? Do you think I'm a gullible kid? Let me tell you, these two ladies will stay with me until I completely get rid of your tracking. If you're smart enough, don't send anyone after me, and when I'm safe, I’ll release them."
At this point, his expression shifted to the gloomier side, and he said, "However, if I find out that you're trying to follow me, I'll drive the car to the city center and press the detonator! I have nothing to lose anyway!"
Hansen's face twisted into a disdainful grimace. He could only hold back his anger and say, "Don't worry, w e will not send our people to follow you!"
Zakir laughed. "Good! Wise choice!”
Slightly hesitant, Hansen said, "Zakir Luiz's counterreconnaissance awareness is very strong. If we send a car to follow them and he finds out, it will cause irreparable consequences."
After that, he said, "How about this? First, engage with the city's traffic monitoring network and track the whereabouts of Zakir’s Rolls Royce in real-time using the city's road monitoring probes! If he leaves the city, we will arrange for police forces to set up barricades ahead of him!” 4
On the other hand, seeing that the Rolls Royce had disappeared from his sight, Isaac couldn’t help but sigh with some regret as he said, "Young Master, if it’s really like you said, and someone is trying to make a move on Helen Dunn and Sophie Schulz, I’m afraid that they are in a very dangerous situation right now..."
Charlie nodded in agreement and said, "The other party was able to carefully lay such a big setup and go to great lengths to put on such a big show. I think they must not be just to scare the ladies, but probably to kill them."
Isaac couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wade, their lives are a t stake. Do you want to lend them a hand?"
