As SWAT teams got into the building, people were told to stay where they are and no one was allowed to go anywhere. Social media blew up and people began to panic, police officers asked people inside to stay calm. SWAT teams from both sides got to their position and activated their earpiece to stay connected.
From the security room, the Police Chief and Commander Li asked the employees to show them videos from few hours ago. Commander Li spotted Prak, he clenched his fist and hit the table that even employees got scared.
"They shouldn't be far away. Everyone, get to your position. We stopped all elevators and locked all doors that's connected to parking lot. Entrance is now closed." Commander Li spoke to his teammates and they all replied. Some SWAT team members were placed on exit stairways in case they (criminals) decided to get out. Police officers were blocking all entrances and exits. Some of them were walking around the parameter where there are many people.
Commander Li's teammates and the rest of SWAT teams ran up the stairs to get to the rooftop. Xiao Xia and Yuqi were on separate side on different buildings but they are not far from the hotel and they can get a good view from their rooftop.
One of the police officers noticed few suspicious people running away to the exit door so he alerted other officers. Chen Fang and Chief He were caught running away from officers. They were caught by a member of the White Wolf Unit. After they were caught, that officer brought them to the security room where Commander Li was.
Zhi An's face was boiling with anger when he saw those two people he knew but then they betrayed him. He questioned them without losing control of himself. He wanted to murder them but for Yue Yue's sake, he remained sane.
"Why were you here?" He questioned them. Chief He spoke, "Actually, I didn't want to be here but they threatened me. So, I didn't have a choice. I feel bad for betraying you but I don't regret being here. At least they gave me enough money so I can get my family out of Cambodia!"
Chen Fang was shaking to his bones when he saw Commander Li walking to him.
"Chen Fang, tell me the truth. Why did you betray me and your teammates?" Zhi An wasn't listening to all the BS but he wanted to hear their reasoning.
"I...I... didn't mean to. My y-younger brother was sick so I needed the money and they gave it to me. B-But, I seriously didn't mean to betray you. I didn't know the person who gave me money belonged to the criminal gang that you met two years ago. They threatened me if I tell on them. S-So I was afraid... " Chen Fang told the truth and he was still shaking.
Zhi An smirked and looked down, "Because of money, you guys betrayed me. I thought it was something else. I understand. Let me ask you guys, where are they?" He wasn't afraid so he pointed his handgun at them with a cold expression.

When they got to the rooftop, Prak and his men were heavily armed with dangerous weapons. One wrong move could kill many innocent souls. Zhi An and other SWAT officers spotted the victims but they weren't allowed to move close to them. His team couldn't get any closer to Yue Yue because of IED bomb and Prak's men were literally in every single corner.
Zhi An and Yue Yue exchanged glances but Zhi An could only look at her without doing anything. Prak came in the right moment, he stood beside Yue Yue and held her hostage in front of Zhi An. He pointed a gun at her making sure Zhi An sees it.
Zhi An tried his best not to lose control but his hands were already shaking uncontrollably. Yue Yue looked at him and shook her head reminding him to hold in his anger. His thought only focused on Yue Yue. Xiao Xia radioed Commander Li when he was about to lose control.
"Commander Li, stay focused. Dr. Zhang is telling you not to shoot. Stay calm."
Zhi An took a deep breath and walked slowly to the front. He put away his gun and tried to negotiate with Prak, the enemy who killed his other two teammates two years ago.
"Prak. Long time no see, looks like nothing has changed. I wonder what brought you here?" He asked calmly while Yue Yue tried to untie herself. She secretly reached out a knife from Prak's uniform without him noticing since he was right beside her.
"Why? I want you to turn into a monster like last time. Do you remember how you killed my friends? I want the whole world to know how vicious you are. Imagine this, the greatest commander in Shanghai SWAT team is a murderer. Yes, I want revenge. Remember your bestfriend? I trained him well, now look at him." Prak was ecstatic to see Zhi An's revengeful look as they gazed each other.
"Haobing, you grew up. I'm sorry I didn't treat you right when I came back. I always treated you like my best friend and a younger brother before these things happened. Why did you become like this?" Zhi An's heartbreaking expression broke Yue Yue's heart. Haobing pointed the rifle at Zhi An's head. Xiao Xia also pointed her sniper at Haobing. She remained calm but she was equally mad just like Zhi An. Haobing was their team leader for two years, she never ever expected him to be a traitor.
"Xiao Xia, are you going to shoot Haobing?" Yuqi asked.
"If there's no choice, I will. I will kill traitors." Xiao Xia was determined even if the decision was heartbreaking.
Haobing yelled at him, "Why I became like this was all because of you. If only you died two years ago, I would've became the greatest commander! It's all your fault!" He was about to pull the trigger when three military helicopters came to Yue Yue's rescue from behind. SWAT officers who came in quietly and swiftly helped to release the victims while they stopped the masked man from attacking them. One by one, all of the masked men fell to the ground.
As the helicopters flew in, they made an announcement which surprised everyone who is watching.
"Attention, we didn't come to harm anyone. We only wanted to rescue the heiress to SK Holding, Chairman Zhang's daughter. I repeat, we mean no harm. If she is safe, no one will get hurt. If someone attempt to attack, we won't hesitate to kill."
Everyone including Zhi An was speechless. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Xiao Xia, am I hearing things? Or is this true? Dr. Zhang is really SK Holding Chairman's daughter? Then, that means... she's a multi-billionaire?" Yuqi was shocked.
"Looks like it, they didn't seem to lie." She was out of words as well.
"We need an explanation from her when this is all over." They were both speechless.
