Do You Think I’m Stupid?!

However, the expected pain of the shrapnel tearing internal organs when the bullet entered the skin and flesh did not come. Instead, it hit the ground not far away.

This was because Zhou Xiaoxiao had hidden behind cover at the first moment. She had long expected this. She was nott hot-headed, so she had planned everything before she appeared.

The feeling of surviving a calamity did not make Zhou Xiaoxiao feel relieved because she had yet to truly escape danger.

Although the other party’s shooting skills were not high, he had hostages who could not resist.

Moreover, she might die in the next shot.

Hence, Zhou Xiaoxiao seized this opportunity and had an idea. She hurriedly shouted,

“Wait, I’m here to offer you a way out.”

As expected, the robber paused.

“Are you kidding me? Do you think I’ll believe you?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao didn’t waste any time. She hid behind cover and said calmly,

“We don’t want the matter to blow up. The police are rapidly increasing their numbers. Do you think you can be safe even with these hostages?

“The choice I’m giving you is that you can leave now, but spare the hostages.”

The robber’s mind spun for a moment, and he was faced with a choice.

But soon, he seemed to have an idea. His tone suddenly became much calmer.

“I have to say that your suggestion is indeed very tempting.

But do you think I’m stupid enough to fall for it?”

The robber didn’t let his guard down. What he was doing was a bloodbath. If anything went wrong, what awaited him would be the punishment of the law.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart was in her mouth. She watched the robber carefully, afraid that he would suddenly overreact.

However, at this moment, the robber looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao and sneered. Then, he slowly retreated with the hostage.

“Don’t try anything funny, or I’ll kill him!”

The robber warned Zhou Xiaoxiao as he quickly retreated with the child.

Zhou Xiaoxiao’s expression changed. Although she had expected this, she did not think it would happen.

Firstly, she wanted to use communication to stall for time. Secondly, she wanted to absolve the hostage.

“As I said earlier, you can leave, but you have to let the hostages go!”

Bang!

The robber did not hesitate at all. He raised his gun and fired into the sky.

This was obviously a warning, but this action shocked Zhou Xiaoxiao again.

Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart tightened. She knew that this robber was too cautious and would probably not end well.

“Do you think I don’t know what you’re planning?

If I leave alone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk more than a few streets.

I’ll take the hostage now. As long as I can leave, the child will be safe.

Therefore, inform your colleagues not to challenge my bottom line!”

The robber’s vicious words made Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart turn cold. Her choices were getting fewer and fewer.

Zhou Xiaoxiao did not dare to ask the robber for anything else. She was afraid that the other party would not play by the rules and another injured person would appear.

The robber was very careful. Worried that the police would ambush them nearby, he buried his head behind the hostage.

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun pressed against the child’s temple, Zhou Xiaoxiao did not even dare to breathe loudly.

The robber’s madness made Zhou Xiaoxiao very clear that even if there was only one hostage, she could not let her guard down.

She quickly distanced herself from the robber and signaled for the people who had not completely left to evacuate.

Just like that, the few of them slowly turned the corner and arrived at the first exit under the gazes of the distant crowd.

South Street was an old city street. From the height of the green trees by the roadside, it could be seen that this place was very old.

The houses near South Street were very dilapidated. It was unknown how many times they had been painted to cover the mottles of time. In such places, there were usually many small roads and complicated layouts. The houses were also very messy.

The robber had obviously chosen to escape here.

There was a black car parked by the side of the road not far from South Street. It should be the robber’s escape tool.

The moment he saw the car, the robber clearly heaved a sigh of relief.

He would soon be able to escape with a large amount of cash.

The way out was just ahead.

“Little kid, be good and listen to me. Uncle will definitely let you go later!”

The robber’s tone became excited.

Seeing that the robber was getting closer and closer to the black car, Zhou Xiaoxiao became even more nervous.

Unknowingly, she was already drenched in cold sweat.

“Once this criminal gets into the car, it’s hard to say if he’ll let the hostage go.

The initiative has always been in his hands. Zhou Xiaoxiao doesn’t dare to gamble.”

“If he really gets into the car, I’m afraid the child will be doomed.”

No way!

I have to stall for time.

Whether it was for the mission or for the safety of the hostages, Zhou Xiaoxiao could only choose to stall for time.

She only needed to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. She could only hope that when faced with the pressure from the police, the criminal would be more cautious.

“Wait a minute. By now the police might have put a restraining order on the road. I don’t think it would be wise for you to leave by car.”

Unexpectedly, the robber laughed instead of getting angry. “Are you trying to stall for time with me? Don’t think I don’t know that it’s rush hour now. It’s impossible for you police officers to clear the road so quickly!”

The robber’s words were like a basin of cold water that poured over Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart.

This robber seemed to be well-prepared and directly exposed her thoughts.

Zhou Xiaoxiao pretended to be calm and continued to try to bewitch the robber. “No, you underestimated the Hibiscus City police.”

Ha.

The robber sneered, thinking that this young policewoman really couldn’t be judged by her appearance. Not only was she bolder than others, but she was also meticulous.

Such a trained police officer was not as easy to fool as a weakling. Leaving her behind would definitely be a disaster.

The robber smiled disdainfully. After glaring at Zhou Xiaoxiao, he said sternly, “Little girl, do you really think I’m stupid?

You’ve been stalling for time. I’m afraid that in a while, a sniper will be pointing at my head, right?”

Hm?

Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately felt a murderous aura on her back.

At this moment, everything in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao seemed to have turned into slow motion. The gun in the robber’s hand gradually moved from the child to her.
