119: Chapter 119 Find a deserted place to die

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a few swift strikes, Zuo Shishi sent two police officers flying before they could even get close to her.

The onlookers didn't even know what had happened before they saw those kicked police officers lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

"How dare you attack a police officer! I'll blow you away."

Officer Tang Jun was furious, pulling the trigger as he prepared to finish off the woman in front of him.

"Officer Tang Jun, stand down!"

Seeing the fool Officer Tang Jun about to fire, Jiang Chen hurriedly stopped him.

He had long since investigated and confirmed that Nie Yuqing was Chu Yuan's woman, and that she was inextricably linked to the murders of Wang Hao and Zhang Yang.

His goal today was to capture Nie Yuqing and force her to testify that Chu Yuan was the main culprit behind the three serial murder cases involving Zhang Yang, then swiftly take down Chu Yuan and force him to admit his guilt.

He hadn't originally wanted to use such extreme methods, but the unexpected events of last night had completely disrupted Jiang Chen's plans.

If he didn't fight back now, once the notice of his removal from office and investigation came down, it would be all over.

The only way to turn defeat into victory and make a desperate comeback was to seize this last bit of time and opportunity to take down Chu Yuan.

If he accidentally killed someone, causing a huge incident without managing to take down Chu Yuan, he would be completely finished, given Chu Yuan's powerful connections.

"Get lost! I'll say it one last time, get out of my way!"

Officer Tang Jun's face was flushed with rage, his hands and feet trembling. It seemed the bullet in his gun might be fired at any moment.

The only response he received was a faint, cold sneer. Zuo Shishi stepped forward, forcing Officer Tang Jun to retreat repeatedly.

"Go ahead and shoot. I'd like to see if your gun can actually kill me."

The onlookers were all dumbfounded. They had seen people with a death wish before, but never anyone this ruthless.

A single woman had actually forced their entire team into helplessness.

Officer Tang Jun was even more furious and humiliated. He hadn't yet succeeded in redeeming himself for his previous mistakes, and now he was being intimidated by this wretched woman.

If he kept retreating in front of so many people, wouldn't he be a coward?

"You guys, go up there and cuff her for me."

Officer Tang Jun glanced at the police officers beside him. They had no choice but to take out their handcuffs and prepare to cuff Zuo Shishi.

The two of them thought that since Zuo Shishi had a gun pointed at her by Officer Tang Jun, she certainly wouldn't dare to be too reckless.

What awaited them was being ruthlessly kicked away by Zuo Shishi once again.

Just like the previous two, they fell to the ground, losing their ability to act.

This was only because Zuo Shishi had shown mercy, mindful that they were wearing the uniform.

Those two kicks left the entire scene in shock.

How could she be so badass?

Being held at gunpoint, with her life threatened, yet still daring to attack people—she was treating them as if they were nothing.

"Still not daring to shoot? You're absolute trash."

Provoked by Zuo Shishi time and again, Officer Tang Jun was completely enraged. Ignoring Jiang Chen's warning, he raised his gun, ready to finish off this woman.

However, before he could pull the trigger, Zuo Shishi appeared in front of him, though no one knew when.

Even the gun in his hand had been snatched away by her and pressed against his own forehead.

Such eerie speed was likely the legendary teleportation.

By the time the surrounding police officers reacted and hurriedly drew their sidearms, Officer Tang Jun's forehead was already being pressed firmly by that dark gun.

Officer Tang Jun felt the urge to cry; he had kicked an iron plate once again, and now his very life was in someone else's hands.

The scene was tense, ready to explode at any moment.

"A Dark Realm expert!"

Jiang Chen also possessed Dark Realm strength, and he could tell at a glance that her ability was no less than his own.

So what?

He had so many subordinates, would he be afraid of a mere Dark Realm expert?

It would be best if this woman went on a killing spree and made a huge scene; no matter how deep Chu Yuan's background was, it wouldn't help him.

And if he took the opportunity to kill Chu Yuan then, it would save him a lot of trouble.

...

"Is this little Protagonist really running here to die?"

Chu Yuan had long been using his X-ray Vision to take in everything happening in the lobby.

Jiang Chen was at his wit's end, intending to show his cards and go all in.

But that made sense; Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian had already gone to the higher-ups to "request a decree," and by noon today at the latest, the order to remove Jiang Chen from office and investigate him would be issued.

Once it reached that point, even if Jiang Chen survived this ordeal, having lost his current status and position, the utility of his Case Solving System would be limited.

Only now could he burn his bridges.

But he thought that a head-on confrontation would be enough to deal with him.

It seemed that yesterday hadn't made Jiang Chen understand what the Shanghai Chu Family represented, so today he would just have to continue teaching this little Protagonist a lesson.

He picked up his phone and made two calls, briefly explaining the situation.

Chu Yuan believed these old foxes were smart people; they were already well-versed in how to handle such matters and how to prevent the situation from escalating.

In the lobby, the standoff remained tense; a single misstep would lead to a bloody fight.

To be able to treat so many police officers as if they were nothing, and even dare to hold a gun to Officer Tang Jun's head right in front of them—no one would believe it unless there was some real strength and background involved.

Many people had been at the police station last night and knew that their own chief, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian, acted like he was walking on thin ice when facing this young master Chu Yuan, like a mouse meeting a cat, and they had already started to lose their nerve.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

A cell phone rang, making the situation on the scene even more tense.

Jiang Chen picked it up and saw it was from his superior, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian.

Without needing to say more, he guessed the content and chose to hang up directly.

Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian did not give up, calling again and again, until Jiang Chen became somewhat impatient and had no choice but to answer.

"You have long since been suspended. Who gave you permission to mobilize troops privately and go around causing trouble?"

"Do you think that just because you became this deputy chief, and haven't had this uniform stripped off yet, you can act lawlessly and walk sideways in Shanghai?"

As soon as the call connected, before Jiang Chen could even say a single word, he was met with a harsh scolding from Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian.

Originally, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian had felt a shred of reluctance and pity about removing Jiang Chen from all his posts and investigating him.

After all, he was a star in the police force; Jiang Chen's courage and ability were outstanding among the younger generation, and with a little more training, his future would surely be boundless.

Now it seemed, he only regretted that he had suspended Jiang Chen too late; he should have requested the leaders to hold a meeting overnight and ordered Jiang Chen's arrest immediately.

"You don't know the terror of the Shanghai Chu Family. Running off to arrest Chu Yuan—are you tired of living and want to find a way out?"

"Why not just find somewhere empty to kill yourself? Why must you drag the entire police bureau down with you?"

For such a reckless and hopeless person, Police Bureau Chief Jiang Haitian only wanted to draw a clear line between them as soon as possible.
