Back in the hospital.

Just as Kate reached the T section of a hallway, she slowly peaked out of the corner.

She could see two men standing outside the door with a rebar in their hand, with several hostages behind them.

As Kate patiently waited, a man came out of the room with two more hostages.

Suddenly, the three men turned toward Kate''s direction and started walking.

"Shit... What are the chances." Kate quietly mumbled as she got behind a nearby curtain just as the three men reached where she was earlier.

"Your turn." The two men looked toward the man in the middle.

"Fine."

The man in the middle knocked on Xiaoyun''s door, but there was no response from the inside.

The man knocked again, but still no response from the inside. So the man tried to turn the doorknob, but it was locked.

"Hello? Is anyone inside? I''m the doctor doing a checkup." The man softly asked towards the room.

Still, no response came out of the room as the hallway remained dead silent.

"Nobody is probably inside the room." The man in the middle commented.

"Yeah, you''re right."

As the three walked away for a second, they suddenly rushed back and kicked the door in unison.

The door hinges popped open with a loud pop as the inside was revealed.

"Huh, there is no one in the room." The man in the middle commented as he walked inside the room.

As the two stayed outside waiting with the other hostages, they started to get a little impatient.

"Are you done checking yet?" One of them yelled.

"Yeah, almost. Let me check this closet."

Just as the man was about to open the closet, it suddenly opened by itself.

"Hand''s up where I can see them." Tianci jumped out of the closet as she pointed the gun at the man.

The man immediately dropped the rebar on the ground and raised his hand.

Hearing the sound coming from inside, the other two rushed inside the room.

"What the hell is happening——"

"You two, raise your hand up before I put a bullet in your head," Tianci warned the two standing at the doorway.

Just as Tianci moved her gun to point at the other two, the man in front of her rushed toward Tianci to try to knock the gun out of her hand.

Tianci anticipated that the man was going to try to take the gun, so she simply kicked the man right in the stomach.

The man yelled out in pain as he collapsed onto the bed behind him and fell onto the floor.

The other two immediately dropped their rebar and raised their hands, seeing their friend rolling in pain from a single kick.

Tianci nodded in agreement with the plan.

"Hey, can you all stay in a room? I''ll call you all to come out when it''s safe." Kate asked as she looked towards the hostages.

The hostages went inside a room as directed and closed the door.

"You hide behind that curtain, and I hide behind this curtain. I''ll knock out the one on the left when the other three walk in. Can you knock the other two out?" Kate asked.

"Sure, I think I can do that." The two went behind the door and started waiting patiently.

After waiting for ten minutes, the three men finally walked towards the hallway.

"Hey, boss, is it just me, or is this place awfully quiet?" One of the men spoke up.

"Yeah, it is a little bit too quiet." Li Cibing replied.

As they walked past the doorway, Tianci and Kate immediately jumped out and kicked their target onto the floor.

Cibing tried to pull out his pistol, but Tianci kicked his hand away, with Kate kicking him in the shin to force him to fall onto the floor.

"That was easy," Tianci commented as she tied up the two.

"Well, they aren''t trained professionals or anything. More like a bunch of street thugs." Kate replied as she tied up Cibing.

When the SWAT team finally breached and sneaked inside from the back entrance, Tianci and Kate had already freed all the hostages and tied up all six of them to the front of the hospital.

"Took you guys long enough," Kate commented as the SWAT team took over the escapee.

"Sorry about that. I had to make sure they couldn''t hear us breaking in. How did you guys manage to arrest them all?" The SWAT team leader was in awe as he entered the building through the front door.

"They only got a bunch of tools, and only one person have a gun. They were dumb enough to check their friend without hostage, so what do you think?" Kate replied as she rolled her eyes.

"Well... I don''t know that." The SWAT leader awkwardly scratched his head as he ran out of words.

"Hello, two great citizens of the town. I just want to thank you for helping and resolving the situation...

Do you two want to join the police force? I can give you both the highest starting position," Li Zhen suggested as he walked toward the three.

"Sorry, I''m already working as a bodyguard," Kate replied.

"Yeah, me too," Tianci added.

"Bodyguard? That is such a waste. If you join, I would even put you two to lead the SWAT team unit. It''s one of the highest salaries in the town." Li Zhen doubled down to try to get the two to join.

Kate was tempted for a second, and Tianci shook her head from the start.

"Hey Li Zhen, long time no see." Yueyue suddenly appeared out of nowhere as she walked into the conversation.

"Yeah, it''s been a while... Anyway, how''s the work going?" Li Zhen asked.

"Going pretty fine... Good thing I wasn''t assigned to deal with securing that perimeter." Yueyue smirked.

"Yeah, I''m always stuck with the short end of the stick." Li Zhen sighed.

"Speaking of work, did you try to poach my workers to work for you?" Yueyue brought it up.

"Yours? You mean these two ladies work for you?" Li Zhen looked surprised hearing the question.

"Yes, they do," Yueyue replied with a determination in her face.
