The cafe’s operating room wasn’t that big. There was an entrance leading to the dining room in the front and an entrance leading to the bathroom at the back door.

There were a total of four kidnappers. Two of them guarded the door, one guarded the hostages gathered in the corner, and one was on the phone by the window, negotiating with the police outside the door.

All four of them had guns. It seemed impossible to control all four of them at the same time without hurting the innocent bystanders.

Fang Lan was a little worried. As she observed the surrounding situation, she thought of a countermeasure.

The kidnappers used the hostages as a bargaining chip to have the police prepare a vehicle at the back door, and the police ultimately agreed.

Soon, a horn sounded from the back door. The car must have arrived.

The two men guarding the front door went to the back door to check on the situation. The caller was still negotiating with the police. They told the police to make way for them and not set up any roadblocks. Otherwise, the hostages would all die.

The police seemed to have agreed and quickly prepared a small car.

However, the kidnappers did not keep their promise. When they left, they still planned to take the hostages with them.

There were only five people in the car at most. The robber who was guarding the crowd sized up the hostages and his gaze fell on Fang Lan’s face, his eyes flashing with ill intentions.

A young woman with a good figure and appearance could provide entertainment for his brothers if he escaped. If he was caught by the police halfway, it would be easy to control them with this woman.

The robber pointed his gun at Fang Lan. “You, get up and follow us.”

Fang Lan was about to get up.

However, the man beside her grabbed her and stood up. “1’11 go in her place.”

Naturally, the robber didn’t agree. He cursed impatiently and pulled the trigger, firing a shot.

Fang Lan quickly pulled the man back. The bullet hit the bar counter behind him, leaving a big hole in the wooden bar counter.

“Alright, stop joining in the fun.”

Fang Lan shook off his hand and said in Chinese, “Just focus on yourself.”

The man frowned slightly, his expression turning cold and solemn.

The two robbers had already gotten into the car. The other one who had made the call had also stepped out of the back door. Only the last one was left behind with a gun.

According to Fang Lan’s plan, she would at least have to walk out of the back door of the cafe before taking action.

However, what she did not expect was that the moment the last robber turned around, the man actually made a move!

His movements were extremely fast. By the moment she turned around, the robber had already been taken down silently.

The man pulled her over and pointed at the dumbfounded crowd behind him. He motioned for her to lead them out of the cafe.

Just as Fang Lan was about to refuse, footsteps came from outside. The man hid by the door and checked the situation outside. He turned around and whispered to her, “Hurry up and take them away, or it’ll be too late.”

The situation was urgent, so she couldn’t say anything else. She could only lead everyone through the cafe and to the main entrance.

Outside the door were rows of heavily armed police officers. The crowd had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they raised their hands and followed the police’s instructions.

However, Fang Lan did not go out. She was a little worried about the man. After thinking about it, she bent over and turned around.

The man was still hiding by the door, but there was already another robber on the ground.

The man frowned when he saw Fang Lan. “Why did you come back?”

“I came to help you.”

Fang Lan thought to herself, ‘1 didn’t expect to have misjudged this man. He’s quite an amazing person. In less than five minutes, he already took care of two of them.’

The man’s brows furrowed, his voice a little cold. “Nonsense! Hurry up and go back!”

Fang Lan went to pick up another gun on the ground. She patted the man’s shoulder like a big sister. “Alright, little brother, you can relax now. Just leave this to me.”

The word ‘little brother’ was clearly a response to what the man had said earlier.

Hearing this, his mouth twitched. He simply ignored Fang Lan and focused on the movements outside.

The two robbers who had gotten into the car earlier had been waiting for a while. When they did not see their accomplices come out, they got out of the car and wanted to enter the cafe to check on the situation.

Originally, it would have been easy to resolve it after they entered the house.

However, when the police saw that the hostages were safe, they immediately attacked the two robbers.

The two of them turned around in anger and counterattacked. Fang Lan and the young man raised their hands almost at the same time and fired in one go.

Fang Lan’s marksmanship was taught by her second uncle in the past, so her accuracy was only slightly less than a hundred percent.

On the other hand, the man beside her wasn’t inferior in the slightest.

One of the two robbers had a bullet in the back of his head, while the other had a bullet in his heart.

The young man seemed to be surprised by Fang Lan’s marksmanship as well. He turned his head to look at her.

She smiled and waved the gun in her hand. “Your marksmanship isn’t so bad, little brother.”

The man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he still generously expressed his appreciation. “Likewise.”

Just as the two of them were talking for a short ten seconds, an accident suddenly happened.

No one expected that the robber had a bomb strapped on his body. The moment he fell to the ground, he pulled the fuse!

“Be careful!”

Flames flashed, and a huge explosion soared into the sky. Fang Lan felt as if someone had pounced on her and protected her.

Black smoke swirled in front of her eyes. Her eardrums were hurt by the loud sound, as if something had collapsed and smashed down.

The man who was protecting her groaned. Fang Lan was shocked. “You’re injured?”

“Only a small one,” the man replied.

He tried to push away the wooden pieces that fell on his body, but he couldn’t. He smiled and said, “Looks like we can only wait for reinforcements.”

The small coffee shop had been destroyed by the aftermath of the bomb. The only thing worth rejoicing about was that the coffee shop was only one story and was made of wood. Due to this, the damage caused wasn’t that big.

Fang Lan and the man stayed in the ruins for more than two hours before they were rescued by the police and sent to the hospital by ambulance.

Thanks to that man, she had only suffered some superficial injuries. When she treated her wounds and wanted to look for that man, she was told that he had already left.

The doctors said that his back injury wasn’t light, but he seemed to have received an urgent call, which was the reason why he left quietly before the infusion was over.

The man had most likely used a fake name in the hospital, as when she tried to find his whereabouts, she couldn’t track him down.

This was the first time in her life that another person had risked their life to protect her.

She was so determined to find this man that she even asked Shen Hanyu for help.

Shen Hanyu only got the surveillance footage from the cafe. The resolution was unclear, but he could still make out the man’s face.

Many things were just so coincidental. During the time when he was trying his best to help Fang Lan look for him, Sang Qianqian made a video call to her father, and the man just appeared in the video.

So he was Uncle Zhong’s son. Sang Pengcheng was currently living in Europe with Uncle Zhong, and that man, Zhong Yao, was there as well.

Sang Qianqian was happy when she learned that Fang Lan wanted to know more about Zhong Yao. She wanted to matchmake the two of them, so she asked Zhong Yao for a handsome photo of him and asked Shen Hanyu to give it to Fang Lan.
