The suspect, holding a three-year-old child, ran off in an instant, and both the SWAT and the approaching Aaron Doom members noticed immediately.
With a slight thought, Flossie Wright squinted, observed the surrounding terrain, and the next moment, took the sniper rifle and left the rooftop.
Directly heading downstairs, based on the terrain observed from the rooftop, she quickly took a shortcut to intercept the suspect’s escape route!
The road was secluded, with no pedestrians, yet winding with many intersections. Flossie’s mind worked rapidly, converting the map she saw from above into a three-dimensional image, calculating the directions the suspect might flee, and finally, turning a corner, she encountered the suspect running toward her, holding the child.
"Waaaah——"
The child, who had been in a state of panic, burst into tears as soon as he saw Flossie.
The suspect, upon seeing Flossie, was equally startled and abruptly halted his running pace.
"Let him go!"
With the sniper rifle slung over her shoulder, Flossie raised her pistol, directly aiming at the suspect.
At the same time, the suspect placed the knife he had been holding against the child’s neck; the child’s crying intensified, and the knife cut into the skin, causing blood to flow from the slit immediately.
"Step aside, or I’ll kill him!"
The suspect stared intently at Flossie, the hand holding the knife trembling slightly, as if ready to stab into the child’s neck at any moment.

Flossie hesitated and then took two steps back to the side from her position at the road junction.
The suspect was in a volatile and impulsive state now; without a hostage, she could move directly, but since the suspect had a hostage and they needed to keep him alive to get him to talk, Flossie couldn’t act rashly.
"Put the gun down!"
Sweat dripped down the suspect’s forehead as he shouted at Flossie vehemently.
After a three-second pause, observing his increasingly agitated emotion, Flossie threw the pistol aside and also discarded the sniper rifle.
Seeing her actions in compliance with his words, the suspect’s tension and excitement eased a bit, but he became even more aware that the child in his arms was his last leverage to escape. So, no matter how much the child cried, he held him tighter, the hand gripping the knife trembling incessantly.
Flossie furrowed her brows tightly, her gaze falling on the crying child’s neck. The bright red blood stained his thick clothing, a shocking sight.
"Let him go."
At this moment, Jude Marsh’s voice came through the earpiece.
Flossie stepped back a few more paces without a sound.
The time she had intercepted the suspect was enough for the rest of the Aaron Doom group and the SWAT to catch up.
No matter what, the suspect couldn’t escape from this encirclement.
However——
Flossie slightly lowered her eyelids, the indifference and murderous intent between her brows intensifying.
From the current situation, she still leaned towards taking action herself.
On one hand, she really didn’t want to let this person slip away from her hands; on the other hand, those lying in ambush might be eager to save the child, which could lead to the suspect getting shot in the head.
Flossie wanted both outcomes; naturally, she never intended to relax from start to finish.
The suspect only noticed Flossie, unaware that others had already closed in and were lying in ambush in the surroundings. So, as he moved to leave, he only kept his eyes on Flossie, cautiously moving towards the corner.
This was a ninety-degree corner, and for the suspect to pass through, he had to go by Flossie.
The road was narrow, even with both pressed against the wall, the suspect and Flossie were less than a meter apart, and Flossie’s stature as a special forces member imposed a certain psychological pressure on the suspect.
However, he couldn’t turn back.
In his understanding, there were many people chasing him, and turning back now would mean death.
Of course, there might still be an ambush ahead, but as long as he had the child in his hands, his personal safety was somewhat assured.
The suspect, though panicked, hadn’t lost his mind completely.
Thus, he advanced step by step, and upon reaching the end, he stared intently at Flossie, frightened she might make any dangerous move, while simultaneously accelerating forward.
Then, the moment he passed by Flossie, a sudden flash appeared in Flossie’s downward hand; a military knife appeared. With a flip of her palm, the knife flew out from her hand towards the suspect!
"You——"
The suspect had just opened his mouth, not yet able to make a threat, when the knife pierced into the shoulder holding the knife, from the side!
