Several more police officers rushed over, but the situation remained in a stalemate, with someone trying to persuade the criminals to surrender.
The one with the detonator sneered, "Stop the train, give our people back to us, and let the woman holding the child come with us, or I'll kill her, and we'll all die together!"
Clearly, the criminals didn't want to resort to such a suicidal method unless absolutely necessary.
They understood the police's mindset—they would never let so many civilians watch as a hostage is killed.
The reason they targeted Xu Qinghuan was because she meddled, and she's pretty, which could fetch a large sum to compensate for their losses.
Jiang Xingye's lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes fierce enough to rival the criminals, making them laugh, "Let her come, I'll say it again, or I'll kill her first!"
His hand tightened again, causing the female hostage to scream sharply, "Ah, no, I don't want to die!"
