Inside the third-floor corridor, Su Tianyu looked calmly at Pigsy: "I'm strapped with explosives by you guys. Who could possibly turn me? Am I trying to die?!"

　　Pigsy sized up Su Tianyu, then raised his arm and waved at a few key members.

　　"The city command center asked me to bring two conditions," Su Tianyu said nonchalantly.

　　"Speak!" Pigsy nodded.

　　"First, they can agree to your terms, but to ensure your sincerity in the negotiations, you need to release two hostages first." Su Tianyu replied fluently: "Specifically, the Secretary-General of the City Office, Lu Yuanshan, and the Minister of the Materials Control Department, Karl. Second, you cannot kill any more hostages before an agreement is reached. You must ensure the safety of everyone inside."

　　"Just these two points?" Pigsy asked.

　　"Yes, just these two points." Su Tianyu nodded.

　　While the two were talking, the Chi Army brothers carefully scanned Su Tianyu's body with an electronic detector, but found no monitoring devices, communication equipment, or anything abnormal.

　　"Wait a moment," Pigsy said in a low voice, "I'll give you a reply later."

　　"I want to see my brother, Yu Mingyuan." Su Tianyu made his request.

　　Pigsy thought for a moment and pointed to a soldier beside him, instructing, "He can see him."

　　"Yes!" the soldier nodded.

　　Pigsy turned and left, walking towards the innermost room on the third floor, while the Chi Army soldier responsible for the inspection grabbed Su Tianyu's shoulder and said, "Come with me to the room inside."

　　"What for?" Su Tianyu asked.

　　"Just come in when I tell you to!" The soldier dragged Su Tianyu directly into the empty room next door, and then four people surrounded him, closed the door, and said, "Take off your pants."

　　Su Tianyu was dumbfounded: "What does this mean?! This is an insult to me!"

　　"Some devices cannot be detected when placed inside the human body. I want to check your back garden..."

　　"Impossible!!!" Su Tianyu shouted anxiously, "If you don't believe me, just leave me downstairs, don't do this!"

　　The four immediately raised their guns.

　　Ten seconds later.

　　"Ah!!!"

　　A scream rang out in the room, and Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn you! Did you have to use tweezers to pry it open?!"

　　...

　　In the innermost room on the third floor, Zhao Weihu stood at the window, smoking and asking, "Just these two conditions?"

　　"Yes!" Pigsy nodded.

　　Zhao Weihu frowned and pondered for a long time: "It's impossible for us to release whoever they name. Just release one person, let Lu Yuanshan go out first. Also, tell the city government that the media entry time needs to be moved forward. I'll give them another twenty minutes. The remaining negotiations must be made public by the media and broadcast throughout Dragon City."

　　Pigsy replied upon hearing this, "You still don't feel at ease?"

　　"The city command headquarters agreed a little too readily." Zhao Weihu took a deep breath and frowned, "Did you search Su Tianyu's body?"

　　"We searched him, nothing abnormal." Pigsy replied.

　　Zhao Weihu pondered for a long time: "Notify all units to strengthen the outer perimeter alert, and push the outdoor哨点 (shào diǎn - sentry posts) further forward to prevent the other side from launching an armed rescue."

　　"Yes!" Pigsy replied.

　　Zhao Weihu glanced at his watch: "It's about to begin, brace yourselves."

　　"Okay!"

　　...

　　After a while, Yu Mingyuan was called upstairs and saw Su Tianyu standing at the door of a room with his legs crossed, his face covered in sweat and his expression strange.

　　"What's wrong with you?!" Yu Mingyuan stepped forward and asked.

　　Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and looked at him: "Damn it, it's all your fault, my back door skills have improved a lot now!"

　　"Huh?"

　　"These bastards were afraid I'd bring back monitoring equipment, they even checked my... my chrysanthemum." Su Tianyu replied in front of the Chi Army soldiers.

　　"You've… you've suffered." Yu Mingyuan said with sympathy, and immediately asked, "Did you make the call?"

　　"I did." Su Tianyu nodded.

　　The two looked at each other for a while, and Su Tianyu took the opportunity to whisper to Yu Mingyuan, "I've suffered this crime, it would be a waste if we don't stir up some trouble! Wait a moment, I'll let you talk to the chief commander here."

　　Yu Mingyuan was taken aback: "Are you talking about the person wearing the Pigsy mask?"

　　"He's definitely not the leader," Su Tianyu said decisively, "Some big shot from the Chi Army must have come."

　　While the two were talking, Pigsy walked over and asked the Chi Army soldier, "Did you check carefully?"

　　"Very carefully. We scanned the back door and oral cavity twice with detectors, no abnormalities." The soldier replied in a low voice, "We also scanned the abdomen with a detector."

　　Pigsy nodded slowly, pointed at Su Tianyu and said, "We agree to release the hostage to show our sincerity, but it's impossible to release both of them at the same time."

　　"Then who will you release?" Su Tianyu asked.

　　"Lu Yuanshan, let him go first." Pigsy replied.

　　"Okay, I'll send him out in a while." Su Tianyu nodded.

　　Three minutes later, downstairs.

　　Two Chi Army soldiers walked up to Secretary-General Lu and kicked his side, "Get up!"

　　Secretary-General Lu looked up at them blankly, his eyes filled with fear, and said, "I... I'm not white."

　　"We won't kill you, we're letting you go." The Chi Army person replied.

　　...

　　Outside the Supervisory Committee compound.

　　Two military trucks with black cloth covering the cargo beds slowly stopped in the fortified area of the Special Operations Team and the Special Police Brigade.

　　A major officer got out of the car, saluted Lin You and the others, and said, "The gas anesthetic has been diluted, but a large, fixed-point release can still easily cause death. Use it with caution."

　　"Okay, send us the concentration values for the release."

　　"No problem."

　　While the two sides were communicating, hundreds of special operations team members and special police officers sitting in riot control vehicles got out of the vehicles in an orderly manner and slowly approached the main building.

　　Just then.

　　Su Tianyu escorted Lu Yuanshan out of the compound.

　　"The bandits said they can only release one person to show sincerity and have promised not to shoot any more hostages." Su Tianyu said to the police officers.

　　"Tell them that negotiations are about to begin and the media will be entering the scene soon." The police officers also communicated with Su Tianyu.

　　...

　　Inside the Special Operations Team command vehicle, the captain was watching several red dots on a three-dimensional map, all places that Su Tianyu had visited earlier and stayed for more than a minute.

　　"He stayed on the third floor for more than ten minutes." The captain pointed at the screen and frowned, "If nothing goes wrong, the third floor is their temporary command center, which is also the main target floor for our attack."

　　"Yes!" The tactical staff officer next to him nodded in agreement.

　　"Notify the city command center that we will launch an attack in about fifteen minutes." The captain said with a frown.
