Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 799 Calm Response

Luo Qiao stood up and walked toward the thug, the veins on Lu Yichen’s fists bulging, his heart nearly stopping.

She appeared extremely frightened yet stubbornly determined to save her senior sister. When she approached, the thug yanked her over and only then did he push out the original hostage. However, the hostage collapsed on the ground, whether from lack of strength or sheer terror, it was unclear.

Fearing the thug would change his mind and harm her, Luo Qiao whispered, "Quickly pull her further away, or it might affect your escape later."

She was truly worried that dragging this out too long and more loss of blood would prevent them from saving the person, and standing in front, she was indeed an impediment to her actions later.

The man glanced at the girl lying not far from his feet, then toward the crowd crouched nearby, "Two people, drag her away."

A couple of senior boys quickly came and dragged the person beyond the police line.

Right now, they just wanted to leave the cordon quickly. With the female student rescued, they would be safe too. The criminal inside didn’t just have a knife, but also explosives strapped around his waist.

Seeing the person rescued, Luo Qiao felt at ease. If the hiding spot weren’t so cramped, she would have dealt with this man by now.

Lu Yichen stared intently at the thug’s hiding spot, worried for any mishaps befalling Luo Qiao, and asked coldly to the person behind him, "Is the car ready?"

The chief of the criminal investigation team replied, "It’s just about to arrive."

The chief had seen Luo Qiao before, and never expected the deputy director’s fiancée to be so brave, exchanging herself for the hostage.

Lu Yichen knew that only by getting them out quickly could Luo Qiao be safe.

A few minutes later, the car arrived from the other side. Now, there was no way to leave toward Capital City. Lu Yichen didn’t know how much the thug knew, and during that period, Lu Yichen had ensured that every direction was covered to avoid any failures.

But now that the hostage was different, he believed Qiaoqiao would not let the man leave the scene. However, with explosives on the man, he feared the worst.

As impatience was growing inside, Luo Qiao spoke up, "The road to Capital City is impassable; it was broken when we came a few days ago, and we walked in."

Luo Qiao couldn’t be sure if the man had scouted the surroundings beforehand, but to lower his guard, she spoke directly. If he had scouted the area, he would know she wasn’t lying.

The man indeed had scouted the area earlier, so he knew Luo Qiao wasn’t deceiving him, but he still said coldly, "Shut up."

He shouted to the outside, "Is the car ready? My patience is limited."

Then someone outside responded, "The car is ready. Please don’t harm the hostage; we’ve placed the cars at the designated spots as you requested."

The man suddenly became agitated again, "Back off, all of you, back off to beyond that ridge."

Only after everyone had retreated past the ridge did the man start pushing Luo Qiao out, not forgetting to warn her, "Don’t try anything clever, or we’ll die together. Taking such a pretty girl down with me, I’d still come out on top."

Luo Qiao, with an expression of sheer helplessness, said, "I’ll, I’ll obey, please don’t scare me."

These words seemed to calm the man’s rage somewhat, probably thinking a little girl like her couldn’t do much, and so he pushed her toward the car.

As soon as Lu Yi saw Luo Qiao being pushed out, he didn’t dare to blink, afraid of missing a sudden turn of events, wishing he could rush over right then.

As Luo Qiao was led out, her hands were not idle. In moments of intense focus by the criminal, she tested the position of the explosives’ pull-string on his body.

After several attempts, in the space she took out a dagger and quickly cut the pull-string tied around his arm. This made Luo Qiao feel even more relieved, and from an angle where the thug couldn’t see, she made an "OK" sign to Lu Yichen!

Others might not understand, but Lu Yichen did. This signal was something Luo Qiao often played with him, telling him that she was prepared.

When they were about ten meters away from the car, Luo Qiao smiled at Lu Yichen in the distance.
