106: Became a hot topic in the news and became very popular

“Gao Ze’s Gunmanship is so powerful!”

Director Zhao Mingsheng of the Municipal Bureau watched the video of Gao Ze killing the robbers, and his eyes flashed with deep shock.

Because from the video, Gao Ze’s movements were swift and decisive, and his Gunmanship was precise, hitting headshots, almost on par with those elite armed Police officers.

It wasn’t just Zhao Mingsheng; other branch bureau leaders also felt they had underestimated Gao Ze after watching the video.

Gao Ze not only had excellent criminal investigation abilities, but his Gunmanship and combat skills were also outstanding.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was able to deal with these robbers; otherwise, how could he have achieved a result with no hostage casualties?

“Director Zhao, Gao Ze’s gunfight videos have sparked widespread discussion among netizens and will likely make it onto the news hot search!”

Liu Wenzhong finished watching Gao Ze’s video and began to think from another perspective.

Because below the video, he saw many netizens expressing shock, and many people with Donghai City IP addresses were inquiring about the progress and outcome of the Xingsheng Bank robbery case.

Currently, the Police have not yet announced the results of the robbery case.

If it is disclosed, and netizens connect it with Gao Ze’s gunfight videos, they will know that Gao Ze was the unsung hero of the robbery case.

How could Gao Ze not become famous then?

Moreover, the Municipal Bureau’s Publicity Department was also going to promote Gao Ze, disclosing his past cases and achievements.

When Gao Ze’s achievements are exposed, who wouldn’t be shocked by those two First-Class Merits?

“Gold will eventually shine, and Gao Ze is a hero of Donghai City; he deserves to be publicized and known to the world!”

Zhao Mingsheng smiled and affirmed, “If a hero like Gao Ze is not remembered, then what qualifications do those celebrities have?”

In an instant.

The branch bureau leaders who were about to speak swallowed their words.

They somewhat disagreed with Gao Ze receiving extensive publicity; he was still too young, and many cases were not solely his individual achievement but also the result of the Police team’s collective efforts.

However, it was clear.

Director Zhao greatly admired Gao Ze, and their opinions were irrelevant.

This was the absolute authority of the top leader!

“Gao Ze, you two finally stopped showing off your affection, huh!”

Gao Ze gently wiped away the tears from Li Qingyan’s eyes and patiently comforted her emotions. Seeing that Li Qingyan was no longer crying, Director Zhao Mingsheng and other leaders finally stepped forward and asked with concern:

“Gao Ze, your left arm was shot through. How is your injury?”

Zhao Mingsheng, Liu Wenzhong, and others could clearly see that Gao Ze’s left arm and chest were stained with crimson blood, and there was a visible, pinky-finger-wide bullet hole in his upper left arm, bloody and mangled, with flesh torn and rotting, which most people couldn’t bear to look at.

“My left arm is numb now; I can’t feel any pain anymore.”

Gao Ze truthfully said, “But after a debridement surgery, it should be fine!”

“You can’t even feel the pain, and you say it’s fine? You are our great hero.

Today’s Xingsheng Bank robbery case, thanks to you, those thirty hostages should thank you, and I also want to thank you.

Without you, this robbery case would have caused an immeasurable blow and impact on the image of our Donghai City and the Police force.”

Zhao Mingsheng subconsciously wanted to pat Gao Ze’s right shoulder but suddenly pulled back, grasping Gao Ze’s right hand, and said with admiration:

“Go get treated properly!

Your injury is very serious and cannot be delayed. We have already contacted a first-class team of experts in Donghai City to treat you; you don’t need to worry at all!”

“The citizens of Donghai and the country will not forget your contributions and sacrifices!”

After he finished speaking, many grassroots Police officers and branch bureau leaders cast envious glances, as it seemed to them that Gao Ze had clearly gained Director Zhao’s favor.

But at this moment.

It wasn’t just Zhao Mingsheng’s voice.

Among the crowd outside the cordon, there were also the hostages who had been trapped inside Xingsheng Bank, waving and shouting their thanks:

“Officer Gao, thank you for saving my life at Xingsheng Bank!”

“Officer Gao, without you, we probably wouldn’t have made it out. Thank you, you are the most handsome Police officer I’ve ever seen!”

“Officer Gao, do you have a partner? I want to marry you!”

There were only four or five hostages in the crowd outside, their voices loud, their faces beaming with enthusiasm and gratitude. Gao Ze didn’t know how they had followed him here.

Did saving them mean so much to them that they absolutely had to see him?

“Officer Gao, thank you for killing the robbers and saving our Nini!”

“This is a small token of our appreciation!”

The parents who had previously thanked Gao Ze returned to the residential building and, when they came back down, were carrying wrapped eggs and apples, and also a large red envelope, which they tried to hand to Gao Ze.

“Saving people is my duty; why are you being so polite?”

“Nini, tell your dad to take his red envelope back!”

Gao Ze naturally did not accept the red envelope, only symbolically taking the eggs and apples. He didn’t have much strength in his hands, so his wife Li Qingyan used her slender, fair fingers to help him carry them. The eggs and apples were quite heavy.

For some reason.

Watching this scene of Police and civilians interacting harmoniously, many older leaders suddenly recalled the Long March in past history. From that time on, soldiers and martyrs laid the foundation for the excellent conduct of the Xia Kingdom.

“Officer Gao, I’ll take you to the hospital!”

“Officer Gao, do you need money? I’ll cover your medical expenses.”

What started as thanks from just three or four people, seeing Gao Ze with his left arm and chest stained red refusing the red envelope and only accepting the eggs and apples, caused some emotional people to tear up, and even some unrelated individuals vied to see him off.

Finally, more and more people escorted Gao Ze to the ambulance, causing a traffic jam at the intersection, and the supporting armed Police could only maintain order.

“Herd mentality!”

Gazing at Gao Ze being sent off by the dense crowd, Jiang Qianyu coldly snorted, “Hypocritical moralism!”

“I don’t think so. If you hold people in your heart, people will naturally hold you high!”

Lili shook her head and smiled faintly, “Besides, Miss Jiang, aren’t you envious?”

“Why would I envy Gao Ze? My beliefs are not the same as his. I can’t make sacrifices like he does, disregarding life and death, unafraid of sacrifice!”

“Miss Jiang, I was asking if you’re not envious of Director Li?”

Lili asked, “Just now, when Director Li accompanied Mr. Gao, she received many admiring and grateful glances!”

Jiang Qianyu held her swan-like neck high and coldly said, “I don’t know how many times I’ve enjoyed such glances!”

“It’s different. These are from the heart. Most people still see Miss Jiang as a wicked capitalist.”

“What’s wrong with being a capitalist? I’m not envious, not at all. What’s there to envy!”

Jiang Qianyu, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glared angrily at Lili, “Lili, are you trying to sow discord between Qing Yan and me, hoping I’ll mess with Qing Yan so you can profit from it?”

Lili smiled helplessly, “Miss, where did your mind go? Am I as bad as you think?”

“Yes!” Jiang Qianyu said, “I have two managers at the bar, and wasn’t the other manager, Manager Liu, brought down by you after you found evidence of her embezzlement?”

“I remember you two were good sisters at first!”

Lili: “........”

“Haha, Miss, you’re really joking. From my perspective, that Manager Liu was your brother’s person. The fact that I could bring her down was with your authorization and effort.

And if you hadn’t backed me up, how could I have kicked her out?”

Jiang Qianyu remained silent. Of course, all of this was her doing; even an elite like Lili was merely a pawn she manipulated.

“Miss Jiang, do you think Mr. Gao and Director Li’s relationship will be exposed?”

Lili looked at the ambulance that had long disappeared and changed the subject, “Just now, I saw many people taking photos and videos of Mr. Gao. Director Li was right beside him, so it’s hard to guarantee she won’t be in the pictures!”

“Director Li has a very high public profile online. Once photos leak, she’ll probably be recognized very quickly!”

“If photos of them both leak, exposure online is certain, but this was Qing Yan’s own decision, so she naturally has to bear the consequences!”

“And I also warned Gao Ze that Qing Yan is not an ordinary rich young woman. If he decided to be with Qing Yan, he would definitely face immense pressure and malice from all sides, especially from Qing Yan’s pursuers like Zhou Xianlong and others.”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Qianyu’s mouth, and she said expectantly, “I wonder if Gao Ze will feel panic and inferiority when facing Zhou Xianlong and the others!”

Lili could vaguely guess that Li Qingyan had a terrifying background and that Gao Ze would face great pressure once it was exposed, but looking at Jiang Qianyu’s smile, she really wanted to remind her not to forget that slap.

However, after a bold thought.

Was Miss Jiang trying to watch Gao Ze and Li Qingyan collapse through the exposure, and then pick up the pieces?

“Miss Jiang, with your family background, if you chose Gao Ze, would your family stop you?”

“Of course not.....” Jiang Qianyu immediately reacted and coldly snorted, “A crude attempt to test me. Do you think I’m interested in Gao Ze like you are?”

Lili thought of that slap: “But weren’t you sitting on Mr. Gao’s lap, without any sign of anger?”

Jiang Qianyu was about to explain when she suddenly saw a news alert pop up on her phone.

The cover image was Gao Ze.

And this news was trending on Weibo’s hot search.
