asking her to share a bed with him. Although she thought this 天哥 was very impressive and somewhat admired him, that didn't mean she wanted to share his bed.“It’s so late now; where are you going to sl...Chapter 388: Tasteless Criminal

Tong Jiang nodded and followed Leng Bingbing closely while introducing the situation: "Director, we have identified the identity of the criminal. He is named Ling Lu, just turned twenty years old, a student at Jianghai University of Finance and Economics..."

"Student" Leng Bingbing couldn't help but interrupt Tong Jiang's words, her tone full of surprise.

"That's right, he indeed remains a student. Furthermore, he has been an outstanding student with no criminal records." Tong Jiang nodded in confirmation. He knew why Leng Bingbing was surprised; when he first learned that Ling Lu was still a student, he too was quite shocked. To rob the handgun of an experienced Criminal Investigation處處長 (chief), everyone would naturally think it was done by a seasoned bandit. No one could have imagined that the actual culprit was a college student who had never committed such acts before.

"How did this Fan Jin manage to become a Criminal Investigation處處長" Leng Bingbing's tone contained some disdain. This person was truly useless, being robbed by an ordinary college student! It was simply shameful for police officers!

Tong Jiang chuckled awkwardly but didn't agree with her. Though he also felt that Fan Jin was indeed incompetent and unworthy to be a policeman, let alone hold such a high position as Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau, he wasn't Leng Bingbing. He lacked such strong background support; thus, he still dared not speak ill of Fan Jin or risk facing trouble if word got back to him.

"Continue then. How did this Ling Lu end up here and take a hostage" Leng Bingbing quickly returned to the topic at hand.

A somewhat strange expression appeared on Tong Jiang's face: "The hostage is a woman named Chen Si, twenty-two years old, nicknamed Sisi, working at Qiao Jia Ren (a nightclub or similar establishment)..."

"Pretty Lady" Cold Ice interrupted Tong Jiangluan, "This Chen Si is the hostess at Pretty Lady, right"

"Yes." Tong Jiang nodded. The Pretty Lady nightclub was one of the more famous nightclubs recently; not long after Night Beauty was shut down, Pretty Lady emerged. However, whether there's any relation between Pretty Lady and Night Beauty remains unknown for now.

"Why would Ling Lu kidnap a hostess" Cold Ice frowned slightly.

"To tell the truth, this is quite a tragedy." Tong Jiang's tone was tinged with regret, "Recently, when Ling Lu turned twenty, he actually went to Pretty Lady and found Chen Si for a celebration. This Chen Si is the one in question. Then, just two days ago, Ling Lu tested positive for AIDS, and he believes it’s due to Chen Si infecting him; hence, he wants to take her down with him."

"AIDS" Cold Ice's expression changed slightly.

"That's what Ling Lu said. However, Chen Si denies she infected Ling Lu with AIDS. She claims that she isn't HIV-positive and is now worried whether Ling Lu will infect others." Tong Jiang gave a bitter smile, "In any case, this whole situation sounds bizarre. Initially, it was just an impulsive act by Ling Lu; he never expected to succeed. But after the robbery, everything went downhill, and he started causing trouble with his gun. It's said that he waited for quite some time at the entrance of the residential area until recently when he finally managed to catch Chen Si leaving for work."

But Cold Ice was still confused: "If Ling Lu wants to die along with Chen Si, then why is he only taking her hostage now With a gun in hand, wouldn't it be easy for him to kill Chen Si and commit suicide"

"He made a demand." Tong Jiang gave another bitter smile. "He wants to see someone."

"Who is it" Leng Bingbing wasn't surprised. Kidnappers usually have unfulfilled desires.

Tong Jiang said with a tone of helplessness, "An Keke."

"An Keke" Leng Bingbing was somewhat puzzled. "Isn’t she that big star"

Tong Jiang sighed and replied, "This brat Lin Lu is supposedly an ardent fan of An Keke. So before he dies, he wants to see her once. I heard he hasn't had a close encounter with her yet. This time, he just wants to fulfill his final wish."

After a brief pause, Tong Jiang added, "We’ve already contacted An Keke. She’s in Jianghai City and agreed to come over, but we don’t know when she’ll arrive."

Leng Bingbing nodded slightly. By now, she had basically understood the situation. Fortunately, the criminal who seized the police firearm wasn't a notorious bandit; this meant that he wouldn’t usually be excessively violent, and therefore would not recklessly kill innocent people. This was good news.

However, the fact that the criminal had AIDS was a major issue because knowing he was terminally ill could easily make him resort to extreme measures. In fact, he was already doing so, and if provoked further, he might even murder his hostage or harm others.

As Tong Jiang described the situation, they arrived at the top floor of the building, which had twenty-two stories. There were quite a few policemen gathered there, and Lin Lu was holding Chen Si hostage in one corner of the rooftop. He pointed his gun at Chen Si while using him as a shield to prevent the police from firing.

"This neighborhood is the tallest building around, there's no vantage point nearby for sniping. For now, we can only wait until An Keke arrives and try to persuade Ling Lu to put down his gun; otherwise, the hostages will be in danger," said Tong Jiang softly.

Li Bingbing didn't say anything. She turned her head to look at Xia Tian, who had been quietly following her, hesitated slightly before asking, "Do you have any way of rescuing them"

"Detective Sister Bingbing, I'm all-powerful and can definitely save them; it's very simple!" Xia Tian said without hesitation.

"Remember, not only do we need to rescue the hostages, but also try to ensure that the criminal isn't harmed. Can you do that" Li Bingbing asked with some concern.

"That guy already has AIDS; letting him die would be better, why bother ensuring he's not hurt" Xia Tian found it hard to understand this. Dealing with HIV was troublesome and even he wasn't sure about how to treat it properly; hence, he believed such people were better off dead.

Before Li Bingbing could reply, Ling Lu suddenly roared from the other side, "An Keke, I want to see An Keke. Where is she Are you guys lying to me"

"Ling Lu, don't worry; Sister An Keke is on her way here right now. It's rush hour, so there's a bit of traffic…" The police officer in charge of negotiations quickly tried to soothe Ling Lu.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear this nonsense. I need to see An Keke immediately! You have three minutes; if you can’t bring her here within three minutes, I’ll kill this bastard!" Ling Lu roared crazily.

The policeman was about to speak when a voice interrupted: "Hey, why do you want to see An Keke so much She's not really that pretty."

Hearing this, the policeman felt irritated. Who is this guy causing trouble

He turned around and was about to scold him, but upon seeing Xia Tian, he immediately swallowed his words. However, he couldn't quite figure out how this godlike person had appeared.

Lifting his head again, he saw Leng Bingbing standing there. The policeman finally understood why the intruder dared to speak up—the beautiful Leng Bingbing was here!

Seeing that even Leng Bingbing hadn't reacted to Xia Tian's actions, the policeman naturally kept quiet as well. After all, if anything really happened later on, it wouldn't be his responsibility.

Xia Tian's sudden appearance also startled Ling Lu, who was holding a hostage at the moment. However, after a few seconds, Ling Lu angrily shouted at Xia Tian: "You're full of crap! An Keke is the most beautiful!"

"Do you have any sense of aesthetics Can someone like An Keke even be considered beautiful" Xia Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Look, my policewoman sister-in-law is much more beautiful than that An Keke."

As Xia Tian spoke, he pointed to Leng Bingbing nearby. All the policemen looked at her strangely, but she was annoyed. This stinking hoodlum had gone mad again. Why was he talking nonsense instead of doing what he asked

Ling Lu also looked at Leng Bingbing, his expression momentarily stunned. Clearly, the stunning and sensual beauty of Leng Bingbing was somewhat unexpected for him. He had never seen a woman as beautiful as her in his life, let alone such an attractive policewoman.

However, it's often said that to lovers, their beloved is like Xi Shi (a legendary Chinese beauty). Ling Lu still refused to admit that Leng Bingbing was prettier than An Keke. He glared angrily at Xia Tian: "Don’t talk nonsense! An Keke is the most beautiful and pure girl out there. She doesn't have any scandals, and all the TV shows she's in are very pure – not even a kiss scene. Celebrities like her are almost extinct!"

"You’re truly beyond help; no wonder you got AIDS." Xia Tian pursed his lips, "Listen, recently An Keke kept asking to be my wife, but I didn't agree."

Hearing this, the policemen's expressions turned even more peculiar. Even if he managed to date Leng Bingbing, did he have to lie so much Was it possible that An Keke would ask to marry him

Leng Bingbing cursed Xia Tian in her heart; that damn rogue actually knew An Keke too! How many beautiful women did this rogue know

"You— you are lying!" Ling Lu was furious, "How could An Keke do such a thing If you insult An Keke again, I’ll kill you!"

"Hey, who’s insulting her now What I said is the truth; if you don't believe me, ask An Keke yourself!" Xia Tian felt somewhat annoyed. "Also, don’t think that because you have AIDS, you're invincible – I can take you down right away!"

"I'll kill you right now!" Ling Lu suddenly aimed his gun at Xia Tian and angrily pulled the trigger; this bastard dared to insult his goddess-like figure—this was simply unforgivable!rstood some things, and her greatest wish was to become a beautiful woman when she grew up.At just four years old, Ning Jie had learned from adults and TV programs that being a beauty was a comfortabl...
