NovelEnglishThe sounds of pounding and gunshots echoed from outside as the men tried various ways to break through the door.
Richard's face was grave as he stood guard at the door with a gun in hand.
“Richard, you can’t hold them off forever. Those outside are after money, not lives. We're the ones offering money. They won't give
up on us so easily.”
“| believe you won't kill us either. If you do, you'll bear the blame.”
The loud commotion grew increasingly rowdy as the sturdy steel door began to creak, causing the adjacent walls to tremble.
“Stay alert, everyone. Our rescuers are here.” These individuals were audacious and had long disregarded the law.
Shirley also heard the sounds of multiple people ramming the door. So, she moved toward the source of the noise and intended to
open a door. Just as she was about to do so, she heard a voice screaming at the top of their lungs, “Hurry! Open that door! The
ministers are trapped inside, and we need to rescue them if we want to get paid!”
“Is anyone else in there?”
“l don’t know. Judging from the gunshot earlier the ministers are being held hostage. So, I'm sure there are enemies inside.”
Shirley speculated that Richard might be the hostage-taker. His objective wasn’t just to save Zacharias but also to expose the

She clutched her fists tightly and knew she had to rescue her father. Even though reinforcements had arrived, they couldn't
immediately breach the area, and twas of the essence.
She immediately ran upstairs and arrived at the top floor, where she noticed two thugs attempting to break in through the skylight.
They were preparing their tools and were completely unaware of her presence.
When they went to get their guns, Shirley swiftly dealt with them. She grabbed the window- breaking tool with one hand and coiled
the rope around her hand a few times. Then, she landed gracefully on the glass panel with a leap before balancing on her

Sure enough, she saw her father pointing his gun at four individuals through the glass. Richard also caught sight of her. He was
surprised and thrilled that she had managed to find him.
He watched as his daughter used an iron spike to carve a circle on the glass. Then, she leaped, and her foot landed precisely at the
center of the circle.
This wasn’t ordinary glass. So, one had to be skilled in order to break through the glass. Otherwise, they would be just wasting
their tand effort.
Richard watched approvingly as his daughter executed her plan. The glass finally shattered after receiving six powerful stomps
from her. Shirley protected her face as she rolled and landed on the ground.
“Shirley, are you okay?” Richard asked her.
Shirley rose to her feet swiftly. “I'm fine, Dad.”
“There are six people outside,” Shirley reported, then turned her gaze toward the four individuals. Her eyes bore into them like
they were trash. If she could, she would take them out one by one. These were the people behind the assassination attempt and
the very ones she despised.
“Richard, you've indeed raised a great daughter!” teased one of the men.
Shirley instantly pointed her gun at the person. “Say another word, and I'll kill you right now.”
“You wouldn't dare to kill me. Your father-"
The person’s smug words were interrupted as Shirley shot his shoulder. She sneered, “I'll do what my dad wouldn't.”
Richard looked on approvingly. There was no doubt about it. Shirley was definitely his daughter.
Now, none of the four dared to speak out of turn. Shirley noticed a nearby box. She kicked it open to find a set of handcuffs inside.
She grabbed four and approached the individuals.

She grabbed his shoulder, pressed her foot on his back, and pinned him to the ground before promptly cuffing him.
The second person tried to resist and raised a fist to strike her. She simply snorted and landed a punch on his face, which
disoriented him. In the next moment, she kicked him against the wall and handcuffed him as well.
The third person was terrified. So, he didn’t bother struggling. Instead, he meekly extended his hands and allowed Shirley to cuff
him.
