it! We still need to go to Quanjude!"Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled. He asked: "Is this Pingjiang District Police Station"The young policeman frowned again; he seemed to dislike Wang's tone o...Chapter 1014: Critical Situation

"I want to know how the Chinese government responded to you." Li Yiran looked straight ahead, staring at Mr. Arlo.

The terrorist leader standing opposite seemed attracted by Li Yiran's gaze and chuckled, saying, "Strictly speaking, a hostage shouldn't have so many rights, but who cares since it’s you I still stand by my words; whatever you ask, I will answer."

"You guys, play the Chinese government's statement once more! Let our beautiful Miss Li Yiran take a look!" Mr. Arlo seemed to be trying to please Li Yiran, but only he knew his true intentions.

The technicians quickly opened the video, and on the large screen appeared the figure of a spokesperson for the Chinese government.

At this moment, everyone held their breaths; they didn't know what was happening outside or how the Chinese government felt. Perhaps this short video would decide their fate.

Li Yiran calmly watched the screen. When the spokesperson said "Wang Zheng," her body uncontrollably trembled! A look of disbelief flashed across her eyes!

Could this Wang Zheng be the one she knew

Nearly instinctively, Li Yiran looked at Mr. Arlo and found him smiling at her, his eyes full of amusement.

Li Yiran realized that her expression might have betrayed her thoughts and quickly turned away, continuing to watch the screen.

Arogo is no fool; in fact, he's far more shrewd than most. Think about it: to transform a fragmented and ineffective terrorist organization into what it is today, such a person couldn't be mediocre! He has already noticed something amiss from Li Yiran's rapidly changing expressions.

The moment the host reads out the profile that follows is truly thrilling; at this point, Li Yiran truly grasps how glorious and illustrious the man she admires actually is.

When Wang Zheng’s photo in his military uniform adorned with medals appeared on the big screen, Li Yiran felt her breathing become quickened. Indeed, it was uncontrollable, even though she sensed Arogo’s gaze upon herself; there was no way to suppress that racing heart!

Even as China's TV drama queen and an actress of top-tier caliber, under such a critical moment, she couldn't employ her acting skills because all emotions stemmed from the soul.

The young man in the photo wore a smile, as if he were gazing at her. Those eyes seemed to pierce across thousands of miles, seeing everything clearly here.

In this instant, Li Yiran couldn't help but feel an urge to cry.

"Wang Zheng... belongs to one of our country's top special forces units; his rank is Major. He’s a combat expert in all-weather and all-terrain scenarios, having earned fourteen individual first-class merits, twenty-five second-class merits, and forty-two third-class merits. Six years ago, he was awarded the title of 'National First-Class Heroic Fighter' and 'First-Class Model Soldier of the Nation'..."

When these words were spoken by the host, everyone hostage felt an indescribable shock; such remarkable achievements being solely accomplished by a single man is almost unbelievable!

Simultaneously, these forty-five compatriots understood why Arogo risked everything to provoke the Chinese government: this soldier was too powerful, surpassing imagination!

Naturally, some of them secretly hoped that China would use diplomatic means to rescue them safely or trade their lives for the release of such a formidable special forces operative.

Ji Yiran couldn't control the tears welling up in her eyes just from hearing this. Two tear streaks slid down from the corners of her eyes and landed on the ground, still glistening.

To her utmost surprise, the man she had regarded as a super third-generation celebrity actually had such an incredible backstory. Behind every one of his heroic achievements lay immense risks and injuries. Apart from Wang Zheng himself, no one else could truly understand what he went through. Ji Yiran felt心疼，她的心彷彿在一陣陣抽痛。

In this moment, a wave of profound sorrow suddenly welled up in Ji Yiran's heart. She had thought she merely harbored some admiration and fondness for Wang Zheng; if he could reciprocate her feelings, it would be the best outcome possible. But now she realized that the distance between them would inevitably grow wider because they existed in different timelines.

At this moment, Ji Yiran wished fervently that Wang Zheng wouldn't come to rescue her; a man of his caliber should be cherished as a national treasure rather than sacrificing himself in this desolate desert.

In some sense, the value of life that Wang Zheng could create was far greater than the combined worth of these forty-five hostages. Yet — every life is equal.

"I wonder how you all feel now Do you think your lives are valuable" Arro's gaze swept over each hostage, his voice cold and face twisted in malice.

"This man is called Wang Zheng. He killed my brother, so I want to kill him — it's that simple."

"A person who has achieved such great feats can be considered a war hero of your China. Do you think his life is more valuable than yours But what does it matter anyway In the end, he will still die at my hands! There's nothing on this earth I Arro can't do!"

Arro spoke with狠毒,"I know some people want to use me to get rid of him. I don't know who the mastermind behind it is, but this Wang Zheng must die!"

"If he doesn't die, then you will — you all must accompany my brother in death!" Arro's eyes were bloodshot, and his appearance was that of a madman!

By this time, many people were too frightened to even breathe, creating an unusually oppressive atmosphere in the entire hall.

Suddenly, Arrog's harsh voice softened, and such a devilish transformation was almost unbearable for one's heart to bear.

In that instant, he immediately hid his terrifying expression and looked at Li Yiran with a faint smile. He said, "However, now the matter seems to have become more interesting as I've discovered some very intriguing things."

The crowd exchanged confused glances, unsure of what Arrog was trying to convey; only Li Yiran's heart pounded violently! Arrog's devilish gaze seemed to see through her thoughts completely.

"Sweetheart, I won't force you. Come out yourself," Arrog beckoned at Li Yiran with his finger.

Li Yiran hesitated but ultimately walked out nonetheless. Her expression was cold and indifferent, yet only she knew how fast her heart was beating at that moment.

"You know him" Arrog's smile made everyone involuntarily shiver!

"No, I don't." Li Yiran shook her head.

"Is that so Are you sure" Arrog stepped forward and his large hand reached up to grab the collar of Li Yiran’s shirt.

: Thanks for the vote support from brother FengMuChunJiang!!At this moment, Cheng Yuling actually began to show some interest in Wang Zheng's plan."If the entire Mei Long Group were mine, then..." The flames of desire in Cheng Yuling's eyes grew stronger...."...
