Although Li Xiuming thinks he is hiding very deeply and rarely participates in other activities of spy organizations, the possibility of exposure is not high.

However, since she last passed the news about Gao Jiu, there was an incident where Director Feng's car was attacked on the streets of Wuhan. Although she also believed that the Military Control Commission might not have thought that this matter was related to her, after all, it also had a little more possibility of exposing herself.

Li Xiuming had a ghost in his heart and was always very alert. She had basically never left the house recently. This time she went out, she became even more careful. She had lived in this area for a while and was usually very careful to observe the surrounding environment. Now she is very familiar with the situation in this area.

There were suddenly a few strangers nearby today, which immediately aroused her alertness, so she retreated.

The reason why Li Xiuming did this was because she thought that maybe she was suspicious, but if she was really exposed, she could take Li Kunpeng and Zhang Keming as hostages and leave a way out for herself.

After Li Xiuming returned home, Li Kunpeng saw her coming back and asked curiously: "Xiuming, have you gone out to buy vegetables? Why are you back so soon?"

Li Xiuming casually said: "I just met a neighbor outside the door. She said that the Japanese might come to bomb today, so it's best not to go out. I remembered that there are some dishes in our house, and the wine is ready-made, so we can prepare a table of wine and food."

Speaking of this, she said apologetically to Zhang Keming: "Brother Keming, you are neglecting you, don't you mind?"

Zhang Keming was not at all concerned about the food and drinks. He was thinking about chatting with Li Xiuming about Lin Yanni, and he said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. Don't be busy, sit down and talk together."

Li Xiuming said, "Okay! You guys chat first. I'll go to the kitchen to clean up briefly. At least I can make a few dishes, so let's talk while eating."

Li Xiuming walked to the kitchen, put down the vegetable basket, and looked out from the back window of the kitchen. The view here was narrow and there was no way to see anything, so she returned to the living room and walked upstairs.

Li Xiuming's usual habit was that she would change into slippers as soon as she entered the house. But today she didn't do this and went upstairs in high heels.

Li Kunpeng noticed this, and he felt a little puzzled and asked casually: "Xiuming, why did you go upstairs without changing your shoes? Is your pair of slippers a little old? Go buy a pair of new ones tomorrow."

Li Xiuming had something in his heart, so he didn't have the heart to answer him. He said "um" and continued to walk upstairs. After going upstairs, Li Xiuming looked out from the back window and happened to see a man in a black suit holding a gun in his hand and entering the alley behind them. Then, he saw a man dressed in a rickshaw driver holding a pistol and entering the alley behind them.

Li Xiuming knew that she had been exposed and knew that she had been surrounded, so it was impossible to break out. Her only chance now was to take Li Kunpeng and Zhang Keming as hostages and find a way out through negotiations.

Thinking of this, she immediately took out the pistol hidden under the bed and ran downstairs.

Since Li Kunpeng met Li Xiuming, he had never seen her so panic. Seeing her running down from the upstairs, he asked in surprise: "Xiuming, what's wrong with you today?" At this time, he could not see the pistol held by Li Xiuming's right hand hiding behind him.

When Li Xiuming was going down the stairs, she saw someone climbing up the wall in the yard through the window. She ran to Zhang Keming decisively and pointed her pistol at his head.

Li Kunpeng and Zhang Keming were both stunned for a moment, and Zhang Keming's face turned pale because of fright. Li Kunpeng's brain was a little short-circuited, and he was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Li Xiuming didn't talk nonsense to them, and pulled Zhang Keming backwards upstairs, and at the same time forced Li Kunpeng to go upstairs with a gun.

Li Kunpeng was completely unbelievable at what was happening in front of him. He stayed there without moving. Li Xiuming immediately shot the sky and said to Li Kunpeng: "You can't come again, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Xiuming gritted his teeth as he spoke, his face a little ferocious, completely different from the gentle and well-behaved woman in the past. Li Kunpeng was still a little unable to react, and he walked upstairs mechanically.

At this moment, with a "bang", the door was kicked open, and several people wearing plainclothes and holding short guns rushed in.

Li Xiuming hid behind Zhang Keming, pointed his pistol at Zhang Keming's head, and said to the Military Intelligence Service agents: "You quit immediately, otherwise I will kill him."

When the Military Intelligence Bureau spies saw Li Xiuming taking hostages, they didn't know what to do for a moment. They wanted to shoot Li Xiuming, but Li Xiuming was petite and hid behind Zhang Keming's tall figure, so they couldn't see it at all.

Li Xiuming and others stood on the stairs. The spies could not find a chance to approach Li Xiuming. They stood there, pointing guns at Li Xiuming and others, and refused to retreat.

Wang Xilin walked in and saw this situation. He said to Li Xiuming: "Li Xiuming, you have been surrounded. If you are willing to surrender, we can deal with you with leniency."

Li Xiuming had calmed down at this time, and she smiled and said, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? You quit immediately, otherwise I will beat them to death immediately."

Seeing this terrain, it was difficult for Wang Xilin to take down Li Xiuming at once. He pondered and saw what could be done to solve the problem in front of him.

Before he could figure it out, Li Xiuming shot him again and said, "If you don't quit, I will kill them immediately."

Li Kunpeng was confused, his eyes were a little straight. Zhang Keming had already understood what was going on. He was so scared that he trembled all over and begged: "Director Wang, you guys go out first."

Because Zhang Keming's special identity, Wang Xilin really dared not take risks. After thinking about it, he thought that the terrain here was complicated and it was difficult to get a strong attack. In order to avoid accidents, he waved his hand and took his agents out.

Li Xiuming escorted Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng to the second floor, closed the door, pressed a table against the door, and then asked Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng to stand in front of the window and blocked the window with their bodies. She hid next to the window, preparing to negotiate with Wang Xilin and others.

In order to carry out this arrest mission, Wang Xilin transferred a lot of people and arranged a group of capable agents to carry out the arrest. A blockade line was also arranged on the periphery. At this moment, a large number of agents surrounded Lane No. 3 and were blocked. On the periphery, some police were maintaining public order and blocking those curious people watching the fun.

Among the crowd watching the fun, there were people from the Ninth War Zone Command. When they saw Zhang Keming being kidnapped, they reported the letter to Commander Zhang, and someone notified Liu Meiyu.

Not long after, Deputy Commander Zhang and Liu Meiyu arrived at the scene.

When Liu Meiyu saw that her son was pointed at the head with a gun, she almost fainted. She cried: "Keming, my son." Then she cried to Deputy Commander Zhang with tears in her face and shouted: "You save Keming!"

Deputy Commander Zhang has only one son, and he is very responsible for Zhang Keming's safety. He said, "Director Wang, please think of a solution quickly and ensure Keming's safety."

Wang Xilin said: "We will definitely do our best. It is because Mr. Zhang is in the hands of the Japanese female spy that we have not launched an attack. We just asked to negotiate with the female spy, but she did not respond."

At this moment, Li Xiuming's shout came from the upper floor: "Listen to the people outside, now I want to negotiate with you."

It turned out that Li Xiuming was very smart and calm. She thought that she would not have any results in negotiations with the Military Intelligence Bureau spies. The reason why she didn't say anything was waiting for Deputy Commander Zhang to come. She knew that Deputy Commander Zhang would definitely care about her son so that she could make conditions.

Negotiation is also an art, and the Military Control Commission is very experienced. Deputy Commander Zhang also knows this, so he said to Wang Xilin: "Talk to that Japanese female spy, and try to meet her conditions if possible to ensure the safety of the hostages."

Wang Xilin said: "Don't worry, we will do our best."

Speaking of this, Wang Xilin called a negotiating expert from the Military Control Commission. Just as he was about to say something to Li Xiuming, Zhang Keming's mother Liu Meiyu could no longer help but shout.

Liu Meiyu knows Li Xiuming. Li Kunpeng once took Li Xiuming to her house as a guest. She shouted: "Li Xiuming, Keming is your friend, don't hurt him! Just ask for anything you want, I will definitely agree to you."

Liu Meiyu's interference exposed his weaknesses in this area in advance, which made the negotiating experts not know how to continue the conversation. He had to look at Wang Xilin and ask for his opinions.

Wang Xilin was also very awkward and spread his hands at Deputy Commander Zhang, saying that he was in a difficult position.

Deputy Commander Zhang was also very depressed. He knew that his wife was causing trouble here. He understood that she loved her son very much. He restrained his emotions as much as possible and said to Liu Meiyu: "Meiyu, don't shout anymore. I understand your mood. I am the same. But no matter how hard you can't hold back, it will only make things worse. You go back first, and I will tell you immediately when there is news."

Liu Meiyu was already confused. In this situation, how could she leave? She cried and begged: "Save our son." Speaking of this, she accused Wang Xilin and others, "What's wrong with you? Why did my Keming fall into the hands of the Japanese female spy?"

As soon as she said this, Wang Xilin and other military spies were very upset. Wang Xilin did not have the same knowledge as Liu Meiyu, and did not answer her question, and turned his head aside.

Deputy Commander Zhang had no choice but to his wife. He knew that she was making trouble like this and offended the military spies, so Zhang Keming was even more dangerous. He had to emphasize his tone and said, "Meiyu, do you still want to save our Keming? If you want, shut up now!"

Liu Meiyu was frightened by her husband's scolding. She was also worried that she would harm Zhang Keming because of her, so she tried her best to control her impulse and kept silent.

Wang Xilin personally shouted: "Li Xiuming, just say whatever you want."

Li Xiuming's voice came from the upstairs, and she said, "Let all your people evacuate, prepare a car for me, and take the three of us out of the city. When I arrive at a safe place, I will let them back."

Wang Xilin asked: "This can be considered, but how can you ensure the safety of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li?"

Li Xiuming said: "Kunpeng and I are lovers, so we won't hurt him. Zhang Keming is also my friend. I have no reason to hurt him. I will definitely let them come back safely.

However, if you don’t agree to my conditions, I can’t guarantee their safety.”

Just as Wang Xilin was about to say something, Liu Meiyu couldn't help but shout again: "Yes, yes, yes, Li Xiuming, my Keming is your friend, you are also here to my house to be passers-by. You can't hurt my Keming. I promised your conditions, can you let my Keming go first?"

As soon as Liu Meiyu said, she immediately rolled her eyes. She was so selfish that she only cared about her son and did not care about Li Kunpeng's life or death.

Although Deputy Commander Zhang cared about his son, Liu Meiyu's actions in front of so many people really embarrassed him. He said again: "Meiyu, don't get involved in this matter, just leave it to Director Wang and others."

Liu Meiyu said dissatisfiedly: "What have they done after they have dealt with it for so long? You ask them to quickly agree to Li Xiuming's conditions and save our Keming back."

There are negotiating experts in the Military Control Commission, and Wang Xilin himself is also very proficient in this area. However, now that Liu Meiyu is here to disturb him, he can't use any tricks.

In fact, the Military Control Commission has handled similar cases countless times, and some of them have experience in this area. However, the situation today is a bit special. The position occupied by Li Xiuming and others is very favorable. This two-story building is in a single courtyard and cannot be approached from other roofs. Moreover, this is a single room and cannot be directly approached from this yard. The door of the house was killed from the inside, and the rear window was blocked tightly by the curtains. There was no way for snipers to beat them, making it difficult for the Military Control Commission to take action. In addition, the two special hostages, Zhang Keming and Li Kunpeng, made the Military Control Commission a little afraid of being attacked.

Wang Xilin was hesitating, and Deputy Commander Zhang said: "Director Wang, what other ways do you have? If not, just agree to Li Xiuming's conditions to prevent her from taking excessive actions."

Wang Xilin was very hesitant. Li Xiuming and the others had already put so much effort into her, and they were really unwilling to let her run away. Besides, they were under great pressure. The Japanese intelligence organization is now very rampant in Wuhan. Just instructing targets to bomb Wuhan City for the Japanese Air Force, it has caused an extremely bad impact.

The Military Commission issued an order to the military commander's boss to solve the case within a specified period of time. The military commander's boss put the matter on Wang Xilin. He finally had such a clue and let Li Xiuming go. He really didn't know what to do next.

Wang Xilin delayed time here, and he had another consideration, that is, he had called Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu agreed to come and help him solve this problem.

This is the east of the city. Gao Jiu lives in the west of the city. It will take at least 40 minutes to get here. I still haven't seen Gao Jiu until now.

Wang Xilin was thinking about saying something to delay the time, Deputy Commander Zhang said: "Director Wang, since you have no other way, then agree to her conditions."

Wang Xilin had no choice but to offend Deputy Commander Zhang openly, so he could only delay time in details. He said, "Okay, just follow your request, I will negotiate with Li Xiuming."

Wang Xilin shouted: "Li Xiuming, listen. As long as you don't hurt Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li, things are easy to discuss. Do you have any other requirements? If so, let's talk together. Let's try to meet your requirements. You have thought carefully and try to get your requests all at once. Have you heard it clearly?"

Wang Xilin deliberately spoke so long-windedly, just to delay time as much as possible.

Li Xiuming said: "I have no other requests. I will immediately remove your people and prepare a car for me. There must be curtains in the car. That's all, you can do it immediately. I'll give you ten minutes. If the preparation is not good, I'll kill Zhang Keming first." She knew that the most important thing here was Zhang Keming, so she said deliberately.

When Liu Meiyu heard this, she immediately became anxious again. She cried and said, "Don't kill my son first, if you want to kill you, kill Li Kunpeng first."

Deputy Commander Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted: "Meiyu, shut up!"

Speaking of this, he said to the upstairs: "Li Xiuming, you are Japanese and each of you has his own masters. I can understand that Li Kunpeng respects you very much. My Keming also treats you as a friend. There is no need to hurt them. I agree to your conditions, but please allow you some time and I will make someone prepare for you immediately."

What else Wang Xilin wanted to say, Li Xiuming said directly: "What are you ready for? I know you must have come by car, so I'll take us with your car. Now I'll take your people away immediately."

Deputy Commander Zhang said: "Okay, I promise you, I hope you will be confident. When you arrive at a safe place, you will come back."

Li Xiuming said: "Deputy Commander Zhang, please rest assured. I keep my word and will definitely put them back safely."

In fact, it is impossible for Li Xiuming to put them back. She has not yet obtained the Wuhan city defense map, and more than half of the Wuhan city defense situation is in Li Kunpeng's mind. Zhang Keming is also in the key department and has a lot of information needed by Japan in his mind. The Japanese have never been trustworthy, and Li Xiuming doesn't care so much. He first agrees to Deputy Commander Zhang and then talks about it after he is out of danger.

Wang Xilin knew this well, and he whispered to Deputy Commander Zhang: "You can't believe the words of the Japanese. I can conclude that after Li Xiuming escapes from danger, she will never let them come back."

Deputy Commander Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "What should I do? You have no choice, you can't watch them splattering blood on the spot, right? Don't say anything else. First, agree to Li Xiuming's conditions and ensure the safety of Keming and the others."
