“Leave this… to me!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright!” She replied.
She stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped up.
The police lights on the roof of the car flashed as it whizzed on the road.
Seven or eight minutes later, they arrived at the kindergarten.
Police lines surrounded the area. Many police cars were parked all around, and the place was crowded with nosy onlookers.
The car stopped outside the police lines. The two of them got out of the car and walked inside.
When they walked through the front gate, they saw that the inside was full of police officers. Zhao Wuyang was among them, and there was even a SWAT team.
The police officers were huddled up in the middle of a discussion.
However, they were all frowning. The perpetrator had picked a perfect location to hide. There was no way to snipe him, and if the police stormed into the classroom, the risk would be too high. People might get hurt or die if they were not careful.
Children were inside! Who would dare to risk their lives?
The only thing they could do now was to try their best to calm down the perpetrator so that he would not do anything drastic. Meanwhile, they would look for another way to subdue him.
“Damn it, this bastard! He’s such a coward. What kind of a man is he to threaten a child!” A police officer said angrily.
The two people who walked through the gate attracted their attention.
“Hey! Isn’t that Officer Zhao? Who’s that guy?”
Many people’s eyes lit up when they saw Zhao Qingxue, but they were confused when they saw the person next to her.
Many of them who knew Tang Hao were shocked.
“Why did you bring him here, Qingxue?” Zhao Wuyang said.
“Leave this to him, Big Bro!” Zhao Qingxue said.
“Well…” Zhao Wuyang hesitated.
He looked at Tang Hao and said, “Are you confident?”
“Brief me about the situation first!” Tang Hao said.
“Look, it’s in that classroom over there. The perpetrator is holding three children hostage, and they’re in this corner.” As he said that, he pointed to one side.
Tang Hao looked in the direction of Zhao Wuyang’s finger and saw that it was a room on the second floor.
Then, Zhao Wuyang showed him the floor plan and pointed to one of the corners of the classroom.
Tang Hao frowned and sank deep into thought.
The special police officers were puzzled.
“Who is he, Captain Zhao? Don’t tell me you want him to save the children? What a joke!” The SWAT captain’s expression changed.
He thought that Captain Zhao was going to give the task to that guy. However, the guy looked like a teenager! He did not look like an expert!
Moreover, he was not a police officer. How could Captain Zhao allow him to do their job? If an accident were to happen, all of them would be finished!
Zhao Wuyang said, “It’s fine, Captain Lei. He’s very powerful. He’s not a mundane person!”
When Captain Lei heard that, he sized up Tang Hao again and sneered, “How powerful can he be? Can he fly? Looking at the circumstances, I’m afraid he won’t be able to do anything, no matter how powerful he might be!
“The police force has rules, Captain Zhao. You can’t act recklessly. Once something happens, not only will you be finished, but I’ll also be implicated.”
Zhao Wuyang did not respond. Instead, he looked at Tang Hao.
“There’s no problem!” Tang Hao said, “Leave it to me!”
His words caused a commotion all around.
“Dammit! Who is he? He has such a big mouth! Does he think he can save people just by himself?”
“How arrogant!”
Many police officers, especially those in the SWAT, laughed out loud.
Chapter 601 - Just Shoot Him In the Head
“Ha! What a boast!”
Captain Lei sneered and looked at Tang Hao coldly.
“Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant in front of my SWAT?”
Then, he said to Zhao Wuyang, “Captain Zhao, I’ll be the first one to disagree. Don’t act rashly! You have to think about the three children. What if an accident happens?”
“There won’t be accidents!” Tang Hao said coldly.
“You’re in no position to speak here, kid!” Captain Lei frowned and reprimanded unhappily.
“Then Captain Lei, what do you have in mind?” Zhao Wuyang said.
“Well…” Captain Lei was at a loss for a reply.
There was indeed no viable solution. They could only wait for a negotiator to placate the other party, then look for an opportunity.
“There’s no good solution right now, but you can’t send this guy in!” Captain Lei said.
Zhao Wuyang smiled and said, “You don’t know how powerful he is, Captain Lei! Leave it to him. There’s no problem. I’ll bear the responsibility.
“Moreover, the perpetrator’s emotions are extremely unstable. If this drags on, there might be unneeded tragedies.”
“Well…” Captain Lei was anxious.
The surroundings were also in an uproar.
The police officers were in disbelief. Captain Zhao was usually a sensible person. How could he make that absurd decision?
It was a matter of life and death. How could he rely on that young man with a dubious background?
“That’s enough, Captain Lei. I am the commander here!” Zhao Wuyang said.
Captain Lei’s face turned red. He looked at Tang Hao, then at Zhao Wuyang. He grunted angrily and stopped talking.
Zhao Wuyang looked at Tang Hao and said, “What are you going to do?”
“Go in from the next room!”
Tang Hao lifted his hand and pointed to the classroom next to it.
“Uh…”Zhao Wuyang was stunned.
‘How is he going to get into the classroom from next door?’
Just as he was about to ask again, Tang Hao turned around and walked toward the stairs.
The police officers at the stairs hesitated for a moment, but they made way for him anyway.
All eyes were focused on that figure. Some were suspicious, while some were apprehensive.
Everyone held their breaths.
One step, two steps… the figure walked up the stairs, along the corridor, and entered the classroom next door.
Once there, Tang Hao walked to a corner. He could sense the situation through the wall.
The perpetrator’s stifled breathing and the sobs of a few children could be clearly heard.
“Dammit, don’t move. If you move again, I’ll stab you!” The perpetrator cursed fiercely.
Then, there was a slap on the face.
Those children immediately cried even harder.
Tang Hao’s gaze turned cold and flashed with shocking killing intent.
He took a step forward and walked into the wall in front of him. In the next moment, he appeared at the other end. He looked around and saw everything in the classroom.
The prisoner was grabbing a girl. He held a knife in his right hand and fiercely waved it at the two boys huddled in a corner.
He almost jumped when he saw Tang Hao suddenly appear.
He thought that he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked at him again.
“Wh… what are you?” He blurted in panic.
Tang Hao didn’t say a word. He went forward, grabbed the knife, and kicked him.
Bang!
The man flew backward and hit the opposite wall before sliding down.
The three children were stunned and stopped crying. They stared wide-eyed at Tang Hao.
“Everything’s fine now! Big Bro will teach him a lesson!”
Tang Hao smiled and patted their heads. When he turned around, his expression turned cold.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Tang Hao grabbed that man’s head and gave him a good beating.
> The police officers rushed upstairs when they heard the commotion in the classroom. When they kicked open the door and barged in, they were stunned.
The perpetrator was lying on the ground, beaten within an inch of his life. His face was swollen and bruised.
When the police officers saw that the children were fine, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief and cheered.
After that, they were puzzled.
They saw that guy enter the classroom next door. How did he come over?
Did he come in through the window?
It was obviously not possible. The windows of the two classrooms were very far apart.
They scratched their heads, and some even went to look at the window. They were all puzzled.
“What is going on?”
Captain Lei poked out of the window and looked around. His face was filled with confusion.
Zhao Qingxue was also relieved. She walked over to the three children and comforted them.
Zhao Wuyang smiled at Captain Lei and said, “So what do you think? I was right!”
Captain Lei sheepishly opened his mouth but could not find anything to say.
He had to admit that the kid was powerful, and he still could not figure out how the kid had gotten in.
‘He couldn’t have passed through the wall, right?’
He glanced at the wall beside him and could not help but laugh.
‘That’s impossible!’
“Thank you, Tang Hao!” Zhao Wuyang stepped forward and shook hands with Tang Hao. “Leave the rest to us! Ha! You beat him up so badly that his face is swollen.”
At that moment, a police officer walked in and said, “We’ve managed to ID him, Captain Zhao. His name is Zhang Sihai. He’s unemployed and is a compulsive gambler. A few days ago, his wife left him. He must have been provoked by that and wanted to take revenge on society.”
“Tsk! He’s scum!” Zhao Wuyang frowned annoyedly. “Take him away!”
Tang Hao said coldly, “There’s no need. He’s better off dead!”
He turned around and said to Zhao Qingxue, “Take the children out!”
Zhao Qingxue was surprised. She took the three children and left the classroom.
Tang Hao lifted his hand, and a gun appeared in his palm. He aimed it at that man’s head and fired.
Bang!
The loud gunshot shocked the police officers in the room.
They were all dumbfounded. For a moment, they could not react at all.
“What did you just do?”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Many police officers, especially those from the SWAT team, reflexively pulled out their guns and aimed them at Tang Hao.
Calm down, everyone! Calm down!”
Zhao Wuyang hurriedly waved his arms.
When he saw the corpse on the floor, cold sweat started to drip from his forehead.
‘What the hell? What did the kid just do? Why did he suddenly pull out his gun and kill the man? How should I report this to the higher-ups?’
Tang Hao calmly lifted his hands and said, “He was the one who wanted to snatch my gun. You all saw that, right?”
The police officers could not help but roll their eyes.
Although they also hated scum like that man and wished that they could shoot him, they were police officers with a code of ethics.
“That’s intentional homicide, kid! Also, where did you get the gun? Put it down!” Captain Lei roared.
Tang Hao did what he was told and tossed the gun on the ground.
“Where did you get the gun, kid? Not only have you killed him on purpose, but you’ll also be charged with illegal possession of firearms!” Captain Lei stepped forward and picked up the gun.
“Ahem!”
At that moment, Zhao Wuyang said, “Well… Captain Lei, he’s from the military!”
Captain Lei was stunned. “The military? That doesn’t mean he can kill arbitrarily!”
However, his tone had softened.
Things were different if that kid was from the military.
He sized up Tang Hao and said, “Which department are you from, kid? You can even carry a gun when in civilian clothes! You should be at least a Lieutenant, right?”
Tang Hao did not say a word and tossed his military ID at him.
“Ha! How arrogant! Let me see what rank you are!”
Captain Lei muttered and took a look at his ID. Once he looked closely, his whole body trembled, and his eyes widened.
Chapter 602 - Major General Tang

Captain Lei’s hand holding the military ID started to tremble slightly.
His eyes gradually widened, like bells.
He gulped hard. “This… must be… a fake, right!” He stammered.
Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.
The other police officers were all stunned when they saw that.
‘What’s wrong with Captain Lei? Isn’t that just an ID?’
“Haha! Look at your face, Captain. Haven’t you seen a military ID before? Let me see what’s on it!”
Behind Captain Lei, a SWAT officer laughed and walked forward to look at the ID.
When he looked closely, he abruptly stopped laughing, and his expression instantly changed. His eyes and mouth opened wide enough to contort his face.
“This, this, this…” He stammered in extreme shock.
The other police officers were stunned again when they saw his face.
“Damn! Is that contagious?”
“The ID can’t be coated with poison, right?”
They discussed in low voices while stealing weird glances.
They could not figure out why that ID would be so shocking.
“Haha! All of you are inexperienced. Isn’t he a major, at most? What’s so surprising about it? I know a few majors myself!”
Zhao Wuyang laughed and walked up.
He thought that Tang Hao must be at least a major with his power. Perhaps he might be a lieutenant colonel or a colonel at most. Perhaps that was why the other two people were so surprised.
‘Hmph! How ignorant!’ He thought contemptuously.
“Let me take a look!”
He coughed lightly and took the ID from Captain Lei’s hand. Then, he looked at it closely.
In the next moment, his entire body trembled, and the smile froze on his face.
Then, his eyes widened. He was no different from Captain Lei and the others.
His body froze on the spot as if he had been petrified.
“F*ck! That ID is poisonous!”
The police officers were in an uproar.
“Come! Let me take a look. I don’t believe it!”
“I’m the bravest. Let me do it!”
One police officer after another walked up. They were skeptical at first, but after they saw the ID, they were stunned.
“Wow! What are you guys doing?”
At that moment, Zhao Qingxue walked in.
She did not react when she saw the corpse on the ground. Instead, when she saw the group of stunned men, she could not help but be surprised and curious.
“What is this? A military ID? It can’t be his, right?”
Zhao Qingxue walked up and took the ID from the hands of a police officer.
When she took a closer look, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she gasped.
“Major… general? Are you serious?”
As she spoke, she lifted her head and looked at Tang Hao, her face full of shock.
‘A nineteen-year-old major general?
‘What kind of joke is this?
‘That’s absolutely ridiculous!’
She would have broken the ID into half and laughed out loud, if not that she knew it belonged to Tang Hao.
“Really?” She asked.
“Yup!” Tang Hao nodded and said, “I just got promoted not long ago!”
Zhao Qingxue’s mouth opened, but she could not speak
a word.
She stood there in a daze and did not move for a long time.
Eventually, she laughed bitterly.
“F*ck! What a freak!”
The police officers finally came to their senses, but they remained speechless.
Many people had toiled their entire lives and could not reach that rank, but that kid… how old was he again? He had somehow attained that rank.
That was simply unheard of!
“Ol’ Zhao, is he some sort of deity?”
Captain Lei pulled Zhao Wuyang aside and asked softly.
His expression seemed respectful.
To be a major general at that age, one either had to have a powerful background or superhuman abilities. Either way, they would not be ordinary.
“Well…”
Zhao Wuyang opened his mouth, but he did not know how to introduce Tang Hao.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Do you remember the time when something happened in the city headquarters and the superintendent was removed from his post? That day, military trucks blocked the entrance.”
“I know! I’ve heard about it!” Captain Lei said. Then, he slapped his thigh and said in shock, “F*ck! It can’t be because of that kid, right?”
“That’s him!” Zhao Wuyang said.
Captain Lei laughed bitterly and said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
He broke out in cold sweat when he remembered the rude and mocking words he used on the kid.
“Haha! It’s fine, nothing happened at all! You all saw it, right? That bastard wanted to snatch the gun, but Major General Tang subdued him. In the chaos, the gun accidentally went off!”
Captain Lei shouted at the SWAT officers.
“That’s right, that’s how it is!”
“I saw it very clearly! Major General Tang is so powerful!”
The SWAT officers replied as though that were the truth.
“That’s right, that’s how it is! Alright, let’s call it a day! Ah, right! Ol’ Zhao, shall we have dinner tonight?” As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Hao.
Zhao Wuyang understood and said to Tang Hao, “Let’s have dinner tonight! Qingxue, you should come too!”
He looked at Tang Hao, then at his sister mischievously.
He was a criminal police officer with acute observation. He could see that there was some chemistry between them.
Zhao Qingxue blushed. She agreed to it and looked at Tang Hao.
