Liang Jianfeng was under enormous pressure.
Secretary Lu's concerns were clear to him.
Just as he had said, this was no longer a simple hostage situation; it had escalated to a political level!
The daughter of the former ambassador absolutely could not be harmed.
If something happened, it wouldn't be enough just to hold him, a Deputy Director, accountable.
He found Hu Zhengrong: "Captain Hu, contact the military and request a sniper!"
"Okay." Hu Zhengrong went to contact the military.
Liang Jianfeng redialed Lu Xiaotian's phone.
"Has the food arrived?"
"The restaurant is three kilometers from here; it won't be that quick."
Liang Jianfeng said, "Lu Xiaotian, we can meet any of your demands, but you also need to show us your sincerity."
"My sincerity?" Lu Xiaotian sneered, "You mean release a hostage?"
"Yes."
"Fine, once the food is delivered, I'll release one."
Time slowly passed, and every person present was under immense pressure.
