145: No, who authorized her to act without permission?

No, who authorized her to act on her own?

The gun was aimed at Bai Shan.

"Do you dare to shoot?" Bai Shan said disdainfully.

The two sides were immediately deadlocked.

"Kill her!"

At that moment, the earpiece hanging on Bai Shan's ear picked up a voice from afar.

"Bai Shan, I have witnessed your bravery."

"However, Yezu must die today. Of course, you will die too, but your death will be valuable. As long as Su Guoqiang fires his gun, I have a way to bring him down."

The voice behind the earpiece was not loud, but it carried a unique sense of intimidation.

In fact, the person behind the scenes had been analyzing the situation on the ground.

If they could take out the person in charge of Xinyi Group in Jiangcheng today, and simultaneously make Su Guoqiang lose his badge, then they could take advantage of the ensuing chaos for an even bigger operation.

However, as a right-hand man, Bai Shan certainly had no way to survive.

Because he had already been exposed, even if he were lucky enough to escape today, the police and Xinyi Group would pursue him all the way, which would only expose him further.

It was better to let him become a discarded pawn and take a few more people down with him at the end. Maximizing his value.

"Boss?"

Bai Shan's eyes widened in disbelief. The big boss behind the scenes was actually going to use his life as cannon fodder.

"Rest assured. I will take good care of your family."

Hearing this, the light in his eyes dimmed.

Since the boss had brought up his family, he had no choice but to follow orders today.

"Su Guoqiang, you won't get what you want! Yah!"

Bai Shan raised his dagger, gathering strength to stab at Yezu's neck!

"Bang!"

Just then, a gunshot rang out.

A hole appeared on Bai Shan's forehead, and the strength in his hand instantly vanished. Yezu seized the opportunity to break free.

Bai Shan, with his eyes wide open and filled with disbelief, collapsed.

"Who fired that shot?"

The officers on the scene, as if facing a major threat, quickly formed a defensive perimeter.

"Director Su, please go to the car first; it's too dangerous here!"

The captain realized that this operation was no ordinary situation.

"Don't worry about me!"

Su Guoqiang's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Following the trajectory of the bullet, he looked toward the roof of a building not far away.

It was none other than his own daughter, Su Mei!

How did she get here? And who authorized her to act?

"Report, Director Su, the perpetrator has been neutralized!" Su Mei shouted over the walkie-talkie.

"Everyone, hands on your heads, don't move!"

The captain and his subordinates quickly brought the scene under control.

Seeing that their big brother had been taken out, Bai Shan's gang members were immediately leaderless and obediently surrendered.

"Reckless, absolutely reckless!" Su Guoqiang looked at Su Mei, trembling with anger.

"You are to confine yourself for three days and write a self-criticism! Wait for further disciplinary action!"

He was terrified now.

At that distance, if the shot had missed, let alone Su Mei, both of them as father and daughter would have been finished. Therefore, he felt not a shred of happiness.

"Director Su, where are you going?"

Seeing him get into a car and prepare to leave, the captain asked hurriedly.

"You clean up the scene, and take the perpetrators and the hostage to the police station."

Su Guoqiang took off his cap and handed his service weapon to the captain.

"Take these back for me. I am going to turn myself in for disciplinary action!"

Today's operation had a good outcome, but the process was completely beyond his imagination.

Especially since Su Mei had not been authorized to act, yet she arrived at the scene and killed the perpetrator.

He was truly scared. Su Mei was being too immature. It wasn't her first day in this industry. Doing this would really ruin her future.

Meanwhile, Su Mei was also feeling a wave of lingering fear.

Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. This was her first time coming face-to-face with a criminal.

"Whatever punishment I face, I will accept it," she thought to herself.

"At least today, I can consider my wish fulfilled."

Thinking this, she prepared herself to face all the consequences.

...

"Alright, you're done here, you can leave."

At night, when Xiong Tingting finished giving her statement, her steps were still weak as she walked out.

For her, today was truly the longest day.

Great joy and great sorrow had played out repeatedly today. It was her first time seeing such a complicated scene.

She didn't know what was happening at all, yet she witnessed a shootout between two sides and casualties.

The statement took a full three hours, and they asked about every single detail.

Even now, she felt as if she had lost six of her seven souls, with only one remaining to guide her out of the police station's statement room.

Just then, the door to the next room opened.

The person who walked out was none other than Su Mei.

Su Mei looked at Xiong Tingting, hesitated for a moment, and realized this was the key figure in today's whole affair.

She was indeed beautiful, with clear eyes, as if she were innocent of the ways of the world.

It was truly unfortunate that she had been dragged into this matter today.

Moreover, she must be the fourth tenant at Zhang Yu's place that her best friend had mentioned.

The fact that her situation could stir up so many people showed that she held a significant place in Zhang Yu's heart.

"Are you okay?" Su Mei asked.

"I'm fine. How about you?"

Xiong Tingting knew that she was the one who had fired that shot today.

"Will this have any repercussions for you?"

"I've said everything I needed to say." Su Mei couldn't help but smile.

"The biggest problem is that I acted without authorization and used my weapon without authorization, both of which are violations."

"Fortunately, the outcome wasn't catastrophic, and it could be considered a rescue. Anyway, I'll just wait for the notification from above."

"Then why did you do it?" Xiong Tingting asked, puzzled.

Even though she was someone who completely didn't understand the mechanisms of the system, she knew that the impact of doing so was too great.

"I don't know either." Su Mei gave a dry laugh again.

"Regardless, you're safe, and Zhang Yu must be the happiest about that."

"You know the Landlord?" Xiong Tingting's eyes widened.

Could it be that she spared no cost just for Zhang Yu?

How many people liked him? And it wasn't just an ordinary liking either.

"I do." Su Mei had no intention of hiding it.

"Lu Hanxiao and I have been best friends since elementary school."

"!!!"

Xiong Tingting was even more surprised. So there was such a connection; it made her feel a bit superfluous.

"You must be hungry, let me take you to eat."

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from outside the door.

It was none other than Zhang Yu.

"You still dare to come here?" Seeing him, Su Mei couldn't help but step forward and say.

"Is Xinyi Group under your command? Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Zhang Yu smiled.

"It means it's a target for our special crackdown operations," Su Mei said.

"That can't be true, the Landlord is definitely not that kind of person." Xiong Tingting said, feeling a bit anxious.

"Even if he really is with Xinyi Group, he wouldn't do evil things."
