Chapter 1086: Wresting Control of the Gun
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The barrage of bullets flew across, and a bullet mark appeared on the ceiling of the exhibition hall… Yang Ming suddenly frowned. How could this be possible? The security check of the exhibition hall is quite strict. It is impossible for someone to come in with a gun without being detected!
Moreover, these people weren’t likely to rush in by blunt force because people were guarding every channel. Once they failed, there would be an alarm. So, in theory, the appearance of these people was illogical!
If these people were holding a pistol, it was still possible, for example, Yang Ming’s lipstick pistol from w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, as well as some small guns that could be a.s.sembled, or camouflaged into other things. However, these people were indeed using submachine guns. It was impossible to bring in this type of heavy weapon!
However, in the next moment! Yang Ming immediately understood how these people had mixed up the security check! These people were armed with rifles, but the materials of the rifles were very unusual! They were made of plexigla.s.s! The bullets were also made of a very specialized plastic material!
So, it wasn’t surprising that such guns could pa.s.s the security inspections! This type of weapon did not have a significant response under the metal detector, so it was possible for it to muddle through.
Yang Ming had to admire the professionalism of these people. They could even get these kinds of specialized guns in their hands which meant that their ident.i.ties were certainly not simple! Generally speaking, in China, where gun control was stringent, it was already very good to get a pistol, let alone this kind of special, customized plexigla.s.s submachine gun!
Yang Ming calmly scanned the faces behind these masked faces. He couldn’t help but be shocked!
The bank robbers! Yes, three of them are the implementers of the bank robbery! These three people are among the group!
They are in a team? Yang Ming suddenly frowned. Yang Ming thought that it was impossible to see these three people in the near future. He didn’t expect to see them at the jewelry exhibition so soon.
“Don’t move! Squat on the ground; hold your head; If you don’t want to die, obey us!” The stalwart macho man said in fluent but very rigid Chinese.
Most of the tourists were scared by the situation in front of them! In the past, this kind of scene only appeared in TV dramas and movies. Now, it really happened to them, so they didn’t know what to do at the moment!
Many people didn’t even have the strength to scream. They looked at everything that happened in front of them and stood there in a daze.
” Bang ,” another gunshot. A visitor standing near the burly macho man fell with his right hand holding his chest, and his face had a horrified expression.
The blood bursting from the cracks in his fingers was a horrific scene. At this time, the tourists present were shocked by the real horror of the scene. Exclamations burst from their mouths.
“Put your hands on your head; squat on the ground. Otherwise, you will end up like this!” The stalwart macho man raised the submachine gun and aimed at the crowd.
” Ah !” No one dared not disobey him this time. They all squatted on the floor, putting their hands on their heads in following the stalwart burly macho man’s order.
Yang Ming frowned. These people really have no fear and guilt about killing. It can be seen clearly through the stalwart macho man’s mask!
Yang Ming only showed an indifferent expression, not any other expression. This was precisely what Yang Ming saw in the previous bank robbery! Moreover, these people’s methods were exactly the same!
That was to give a warning shot, kill a person to warn everyone else after entering, and then command all the people to hold their heads and squat on the ground.
Ming Yang Security Company was nominally a company affiliated with the police station. Although they had the license to use a gun, only a few people had gun licenses. They were only allowed to use pistols, so Yang Ming did not let Li Qiang bring over the heavy guns.
Although Yang Ming was very popular in Song Jiang, and he was not afraid of anything with his special ident.i.ty, he could not attract too much attention. Although Xia Bingbao had a lot of power, Yang Ming understood that Xia Bingbao was not omnipotent. Xia Bingbao wouldn’t allow Yang Ming to do as he wished, because everything has a limit. As long as he did not exceed this limit, and he always maintained a balance, no one would do anything to him. After all, Xia Bingbao still needed to ask Yang Ming for favors.
But if others couldn’t use a gun; Yang Ming could use one instead. With Yang Ming’s special status, it was acceptable to use a gun. No one could say anything.
“Smash this place!” The stalwart macho man waved his hand and commanded the people behind him.
At this time, another macho man came over from behind, holding an iron bar in his hand which should have been taken from a certain place in the exhibition hall. This kind of thing couldn’t pa.s.s the security check, but it could be procured from local materials.
Although the macho man covered his face, he should be a black man judging by the exposed hair and wrist. The black man came in front of the showcase cracked by the blue down jacket man and waved the iron bar in his hand.
” Kuang ,” another loud noise sounded; the cracks had become bigger, but the showcase was still safe and didn’t shatter.
The black man once again waved the iron bar in his hand and smashed it on the showcase a second time.
“Jesett, you go to help!” The stalwart macho man saw that the showcase was difficult to open, so he commanded another armed man behind him.
The one named Jesett was Asian, but Yang Ming couldn’t judge his nationality. He didn’t open his mouth but took another iron bar, walking in the direction of the showcase.
Li Qiang squatted beside Yang Ming and glanced at Yang Ming. Yang Ming shook his head slightly, indicating that Li Qiang should not act rashly. After all, these guys were all armed and possessed devastating weapons in their hands. Yang Ming dared not to act rashly before he thought of a countermeasure. He could only wait for a suitable opportunity.
The rude behavior of these armed men had already scared some of the children in the exhibition hall. Their cries were very sudden and fierce. The black man and Jesett stopped their work for a moment, and the stalwart macho man’s gaze became sharp too. His gaze slowly looked past the crowd, and finally fell on a crying little girl.
The little girl was less than ten years old, wearing a goose-yellow windbreaker; she was very cute. However, there was no love in the eyes of the stalwart macho man, but an indifference to life.
“SH*T!” The burly macho man cursed. He slowly raised the submachine gun in his hand and aimed at the little girl.
“I beg you; please… don’t!” A young woman in her thirties covered the little girl’s mouth and prevented her from making any more noise. “Children are not sensible. Don’t shoot. I beg you…”
The young woman looked at the stalwart macho man with a praying look. A man with gla.s.ses by the young woman was now blocking in front of the young woman and little girl. He said very sincerely, “Don’t kill them; kill me if you want to kill… ”
The stalwart macho man sneered with a trace of disdain, “It’s really annoying! You all are going to die! Go to h.e.l.l together!” As he finished, he aimed at the man.
There was no doubt that if these bullets were shot, not only would this man be riddled with bullets, even the young woman and the little girl behind him would become meat sauce. Whether or not the people around them would be hurt, it was up to G.o.d to decide.
Although most of the tourists were full of sympathy for this family of three, and they felt resentful of the criminal’s cruelty, no one dared to speak up for them!
Standing out at this time was undoubtedly looking for death! In the face of powerful firearms, all reasons were useless. In front of these people, there was no reason to speak of. If they could be reasoned with, they would not rob.
Therefore, when the stalwart macho man said something, the people around the three people couldn’t help but lean back, leaving a big s.p.a.ce!
Who wants to die? Sympathy was one thing, but they couldn’t even save your life. Who would still sympathize with others?
However, Yang Ming was moved. He knew that now was an opportunity! Although this opportunity was not obvious, and there were some risks, if he missed it, he didn’t know if there would be such an opportunity in the future. So, Yang Ming didn’t want to take risks. He did not want to miss any possibilities!
Yang Ming no longer had the slightest hesitation. He suddenly stood up and rushed to the family of three! Yang Ming was betting that the stalwart macho man wouldn’t shoot immediately. But even if he shot now, Yang Ming would be confident that he would not be hurt. However, he couldn’t guarantee this family of three!
Yang Ming could only do so much. Yang Ming was not a savior, nor he was obligated to defend the lives of all. If Yang Ming didn’t make a move, these three people would die. If Yang Ming made a move, there would be a chance to prevent them from being hurt or reduce the damage.
“Don’t kill them. We are all innocent. If you want to rob the jewelry, then grab the jewelry. After a while, you can’t run away if the police are here! So, I hope you don’t waste your time!” Yang Ming stood in front of the family of three and spoke loudly.
” Oh ?” The burly macho man apparently was surprised and wondered why Yang Ming would stand up suddenly. He looked at Yang Ming with interest. “You? Standing up for them? You are not afraid that I will kill you together?”
“I am not standing up for anyone; I am just telling the fact that you shouldn’t waste unnecessary time. It isn’t good for everyone. It is meaningless if you kill them.” When Yang Ming saw the stalwart macho man speak to him, his heart was secretly relieved. As long as he talked to Yang Ming, there was still a chance.
I was afraid that he would not talk to me and take the shot.
“As you can see, I didn’t delay my time. My men are still working. I’ll just kill two people to kill my time!” The stalwart macho man was very curious why Yang Ming would stand up at this time. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“I am…” Yang Ming said bluntly. “But I don’t think you will kill innocent people.”
” Ha ! This is the most amusing joke I have ever heard. How do you know that I will not kill innocent people?” The stalwart macho man laughed as if he heard a big joke. “I can not kill them. Let’s play a game!”
“What game?” Yang Ming asked faintly.
“Well, you use your head to hit this showcase. If you can smash open the showcase, I will not kill you and let them go. How about that? Fair, right?” The stalwart macho man pointed to the showcase and said.
” Huh …” The crowd immediately roared. They sympathized with Yang Ming. The request made by the stalwart macho man was the same as asking him to commit suicide! Some also laughed that Yang Ming was stupid. He was fine in the first place. Why did he want to stand up for them? Wasn’t that stupid? Now it was great. The criminal even wanted him to die. What should he do then?
“Which showcase?” Yang Ming said as he walked toward the stalwart macho man. Yang Ming was very calm, but he put on a panicked expression.
Yang Ming couldn’t make his performance very calm. It would be too fake, and the stalwart macho man would doubt it, but now, Yang Ming was calm inside but anxious outside. It completely matched the “silly and bold” image. It was also easy to win the trust of people.
Sure enough, the stalwart macho man did not have the slightest precaution against him. He did not think that Yang Ming would be acting. Yang Ming was not dressed like the security guards and the staff but as a student. He looked just about twenty years old. He wouldn’t be a policeman, so the stalwart macho man only considered Yang Ming as a university student with righteous ardor, and he wanted to make fun of Yang Ming.
“This showcase; you smash it then. If you can smash it open, you will save me the trouble! Haha !” The stalwart macho man acted as if he heard a funny joke and laughed happily.
“This one?” Yang Ming looked at the showcase with a hint of “timidity” in his eyes. “I…”
“Hurry up!” Seeing Yang Ming timid, the stalwart macho man lost his fun. He suddenly became impatient, then he pointed his gun at Yang Ming’s head. “Smash or not smash? I will kill you directly if you don’t smash it!”
Yang Ming’s heart scorned the cruelty of this guy’s temper, but his face was still hesitant and slowly said, “Well… I’ll smash…”
The stalwart macho man sneered listening to Yang Ming’s words. He moved his gun, indicating that Yang Ming could smash it.
Yang Ming slowly bent down and lowered his head. He made a gesture of smas.h.i.+ng into the showcase but hesitating. However, Yang Ming’s eyes were always looking at his rear with the special abilities. The stalwart man was amused looking at him, and his mind was in a state of extreme relaxation. Yang Ming smiled and jerked out his left hand to grab the submachine gun from the stalwart macho man’s hands! At the moment when Yang Ming took his gun, the stalwart macho man also realized something was wrong. He subconsciously grasped the submachine gun in his hand and wanted to aim the gun at Yang Ming, but he found that he could not do so because the barrel was controlled by Yang Ming. He was unable to change the gun direction for a while.
The next moment, Yang Ming’s right hand pressed on the back of the stalwart macho man. Then he stood straight and used the explosive power generated by all his abdominal muscles and pushed the head of the stalwart macho man into the showcase.
A loud bang ensued, and the face of the stalwart macho man’s head slammed into the showcase. The mask on his face was stained with his overflowing blood. Obviously, his nose was crushed under the strong impact.
At this moment, the hand of the stalwart macho man grasping the handle of the gun temporarily lost strength, and Yang Ming directly grabbed the submachine gun in his hand.
” Bang, bang !” With two gunshots, Yang Ming quickly killed the black man and Jesett who were busy smas.h.i.+ng the showcase, and then pointed the gun at the forehead of the stalwart macho man, pulling him around to face the remaining four robbers!
All of this happened in a split second. Yang Ming completed the action of stealing the gun and killing in an instant, but he could not take care of the other four robbers behind him!
Yang Ming was human, not a G.o.d. He could kill the two unprepared guys in front of him, but he could no longer turn to kill the other four robbers! He really did not have so much time. Therefore, Yang Ming directly put the gun on the head of the stalwart macho man, trying to take him as a hostage.
While Yang Ming turned back, the other four robbers had already raised their guns at Yang Ming.
“Put down the guns in your hands, or I will blow your boss’ head in one shot.” Yang Ming said very calmly, unlike his previous anxious look. He did not take the pointed guns from the four robbers seriously.
The four did not listen to Yang Ming’s order; the gun muzzles still pointed at Yang Ming.
“Tell them to put their guns down.” Yang Ming pointed the gun muzzle at the stalwart macho man, commanding him.
The stalwart macho man was confused about being smashed. He didn’t think that Yang Ming would make a move abruptly and then control him. The most incredible thing was that Yang Ming’s strength was amazing; he almost had his head smashed to death.
Of course, if Yang Ming wanted to kill him, he would have been dead before. Yang Ming didn’t want to kill him. Yang Ming wanted to keep him as a hostage, so he couldn’t die.
If Yang Ming wanted to kill him, there were many ways. At least, he did not have to take the risk. He could use the flying needle to kill him from the crowd in secret!
However, that was not what Yang Ming expected. Yang Ming could kill one or two people with a flying needle in an instant, but he absolutely could not kill three or four people. When the person who was killed by Yang Ming with a flying needle fell, perhaps the rest of the robbers would madly vent their anger at the crowd, including Yang Ming! If they used the submachine guns to shoot indiscriminately, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yang Ming had not practiced Sinister Voodoo, so he was not invincible.
If that were the case, he would be done for.
Therefore, Yang Ming did not use the means of a.s.sa.s.sination, but stealing the gun! Even though Yang Ming could use the flying needle to kill the stalwart macho man, it did not pose any threat to these robbers. Only after he caught their leader, then they would be afraid of Yang Ming.
“Put down the gun…” The stalwart macho man commanded his men helplessly. He did not doubt that Yang Ming could kill him immediately. Judging from Yang Ming’s moves, he must not be simple.
