It is said that Owen Finch is in a sorry state. He was recently appointed as the deputy director, and as the saying goes, "a new broom sweeps clean." But before his new broom could sweep clean, he found himself in the midst of a robbery case.
What's even more tragic is that he was assigned as the head of this operation. As a high-ranking official in Zhuhai City, he is well aware of the significance behind the Laura Jewelry Store.
If he doesn't handle the situation well today, his position as deputy director is at stake.
"Ha, withdraw your sniper, or I'll kill a hostage immediately," one of the robbers inside the store loudly declared, shaking the gun in his hand.
As his gun trembled, the hostages inside immediately erupted into panicked screams.
"Alright, alright, don't do anything rash. I'll immediately withdraw the sniper," Owen Finch, knowing the robber was becoming unhinged, gave the order for the sniper to retreat.
Now, the most important thing is not money, but human life.
"How's the getaway car coming along? If it's half a minute late, you can prepare to collect these people's corpses," the voice of the robber sounded inside, utterly brazen.
"Don't worry, the car is already on its way. It will be here in five minutes at most. Please don't harm the hostages," Owen Finch shouted into the megaphone, sweat drenching his entire body.
Seeing this scene, Bidegla could no longer bear it. He pushed aside a police officer and demanded to be let in.
"No, it's too dangerous here. Please don't disrupt our law enforcement," the officer spoke, showing no intention of letting Bidegla through.
Damn it! Bidegla cursed in his mind, but then he saw Shina Macai within the police team. He had been wondering why this crazy woman was running outside in the dark, but now she was here.
Seeing her, Bidegla immediately waved and shouted Shina Macai's name.
His voice was not quiet, so Shina Macai immediately looked over to him.
Approaching, Shina Macai glanced at the two police officers blocking Bidegla and said, "Let him in."
At this point, she had no time to hate Bidegla, because Jennie Laura was being held hostage inside.
"What's going on?" Bidegla immediately asked as he crossed the police line.
"What else could it be? It's extremely dangerous here right now. Just follow me and don't wander," Shina Macai instructed before returning to her post.
Now, she was also extremely worried, as among the hostages was Jennie Laura, her close friend of more than ten years. So, seeing her in danger, she wished she could immediately shoot the criminals inside.
But she understood that she couldn't act rashly, as doing so might cost several lives.
Bidegla's arrival didn't attract much attention, as everyone's gaze was fixed on the inside of the jewelry store.
The large jewelry store was now in a state of chaos, with shattered glass at the entrance and broken displays inside. Many jewels were scattered on the floor.
Watching the weakening Taitwein and the fragile figure inside, Bidegla's fists clenched tightly.
He wasn't worried about the loss in the jewelry store. Right now, he was only concerned about whether Jennie Laura would be harmed.
Time passed minute by minute, and no one dared to even breathe, as the atmosphere in the room was filled with tension.
Suppression filled the entire space, and Bidegla's clothes were just as soaked with sweat as Owen Finch's.
At this moment, he was grateful that he had come here. If he hadn't come today, he wouldn't even know what had happened.
Five minutes later, the promised police car did not arrive, and inside the jewelry store, the robbers stood up, each holding a hostage.
One of them was Jennie Laura, who at this moment had lost her former mature demeanor. She now resembled a startled bird, evoking feelings of pity in those who looked at her.

Watching Jennie Laura, Bidegla felt a painful constriction in his chest, wishing with all his might that he was the one being held hostage.
Without knowing where to begin, he was now willing to sacrifice his own life for Jennie Laura.
"Do not harm the hostages. I can guarantee your safe departure from here," shouted Owen Finch immediately upon seeing the hostage seemingly threatened with harm.
"Enough talk. You have one minute. If the car does not arrive, I will execute one hostage every minute thereafter," the robber declared, causing nervous tension to grip the onlookers.
Scenes that one would only expect to see in a movie were unfolding before their eyes, causing them great distress.
"Release the hostages. I can be your hostage," suddenly spoke Bidegla, walking out from among the police.
"Come back!" Seeing Bidegla heading into the jewelry store, Shina Macai shouted, but it was already too late, as Bidegla had crossed the inner cordon they had set up.
"Young man, do not act recklessly." Seeing Bidegla enter, Owen Finch was also shocked and exclaimed, "Why, in the world, do you not fear death?"
All around, there was a commotion, clearly no one had expected someone to walk in at this moment. Did he not fear death?
"Who are you?" one of the robbers immediately pointed their gun at Bidegla upon seeing him.
"Do not harm the hostages. I am the owner of this jewelry store. You can take me hostage, but spare the others," Bidegla calmly stated.
"Go." Upon hearing Bidegla's words, one of the robbers signaled to another, who then approached Bidegla with a gun, ultimately pointing it at his chest.
With his hands placed obediently on his head, Bidegla successfully became a hostage. However, after being taken hostage, the robbers did not release anyone, choosing to continue their standoff with the police.
"What a fool." Seeing Bidegla fearlessly enter the jewelry store, Shina Macai was frantic, her palms sweating. But now that Bidegla had become a hostage, it would be incredibly difficult to rescue him.
After being taken into the jewelry store, Bidegla did not hesitate, immediately standing by Jennie Laura's side.
"You..." Looking at Bidegla, Jennie Laura felt her heart sinking into despair. Although she had a thousand words in her heart, she could not bring herself to speak, because she knew that Bidegla had come in because of her.
Bidegla's eyes were filled with overwhelming tenderness, breaking her heart. This man was too foolish.
"Do not worry. Even if I die, I will not let anything happen to you," Bidegla spoke with an unwavering tone.
"Behave yourself." Hearing the two converse, the robber behind them threatened Bidegla with a gun.
Upon hearing this, Bidegla remained silent, unsure if the madman would shoot him.
In the store, there were a total of five armed robbers, while the staff, security guards, and Bidegla made nine in total. If they all resisted at once, they might be able to overpower the robbers.
But as Bidegla looked at their expressions of hopelessness, he understood that it was absolutely impossible for them to take action against the robbers.
In the grip of fear, their minds were not clear. Their only desire was for survival.
However, when Bidegla saw two of the security guards also wearing expressions of fear, he felt extremely displeased.
As security guards of the jewelry store, to have such expressions was simply unacceptable. It was as if they were getting paid for nothing.
Five bandits, Bidegla could not make out their expressions, but the hope of escaping from the hands of five bandits seemed very faint.
He was a good fighter, with an extremely abnormal recovery ability, but if he were shot dead by the bandits, even the ghost would be helpless.
And he also had Jennie Laura by his side, so he wouldn't act recklessly, he was afraid of hurting Jennie Laura.
"The car is here, the car is here." Outside, the voice of Owen Finch was heard with a hint of urgency.
These bandits were very clever and needed a bulletproof car, but it would take time for the police station to mobilize a bulletproof car.
Fortunately, they arrived just in time, otherwise if a hostage died, his career prospects would be over.
"Report to the chief, there's traffic on the road." A police officer got off the bulletproof car and said to Owen Finch.
Damn!
Hearing his words, Owen Finch really had the urge to curse, damn traffic.
"You'd better not play tricks." Inside the jewelry store, the bandit spoke.
"I absolutely dare not play tricks, you can leave safely." Owen Finch quickly said, as long as he could save the lives of the hostages, there would naturally be someone to catch the bandits.
What made him change color was that these bandits had no intention of releasing the hostages, as they each grabbed a hostage and walked towards the bulletproof car.
Five bandits, five hostages, two of them being Bidegla and Jennie Laura.
"Aren't you supposed to release the hostages?" Watching this scene, Owen Finch shouted anxiously.
"When we are safe, we will naturally release the hostages. If you shout again, I will shoot one immediately." A bandit spoke, scaring everyone around to step back.
In front of the bandit, Bidegla slowly moved his steps, and behind him was a bandit, who was the last hostage to come out, forming a line.
Seeing this scene, he also knew that if he didn't get away, it would be difficult to escape. After all, once on the car, who knows if these bandits would go insane and kill them.
He gave a signal to the crowd and without hesitation, Bidegla directly kicked the bandit behind him.
His action was very fast, to the point that no one on the scene reacted, his kick was very fierce, directly kicking the bandit in the crotch.
"Ah!"
A piercing cry rang out, Bidegla didn't even look at the bandit behind him, but punched the bandit in front of him.
The bandit in front was holding Jennie Laura hostage, so the power of his punch was unleashed, reaching the greatest strength of his life.
Bang!
Like a sandbag, this bandit didn't even understand what had happened, feeling a sharp pain in his back, and then lost all consciousness.
Familiar with the structure of the human body, Bidegla's punch was aimed at the most lethal area of this bandit, and without thinking, he knew that this bandit was already dead.
Without thinking too much, Bidegla directly pressed Jennie Laura's body hard to the ground, and then kicked the bandit in front of Jennie Laura.
Bang!
This bandit was just like the previous one, under Bidegla's terrifying kick, he had no resistance, and was kicked out about ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out.
