Chapter 222 - Gunfire

Wujiazai.

At this moment, several police officers who came to investigate were surrounded by the villagers of Wujiazai, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Dear villagers, we really are police officers!"

"We're here to investigate if anyone has seen a stranger. He's a fugitive and very dangerous!"

"If anyone has seen him, please let us know so we can catch him in time!"

One officer explained patiently.

"Just because you say you're police officers, does that mean you really are? A few scoundrels pretending to be police officers came to our village before."

"They tricked us into food and drink and took away a lot of our hard-earned money!"

"Exactly! Don't try to fool us with your documents; we won't be fooled! Even if the King of Heaven came today, we would still tie you up first! You won't trick us again!"

"Come on! Tie them up first! I hate scammers the most in my life!"

The villagers of Wujiazai were furious.

They didn't care about the police officers' credentials; one by one, they rushed forward with red eyes, unstoppable.

The officers were forced to retreat repeatedly, feeling desperate.

Although they were all armed, as public servants, they naturally couldn't point their guns at their own people!

That would be a mistake!

And hidden behind the villagers, Wu Yaodong's eyes sparkled with an inscrutable light.

This was all part of his scheme.

The so-called 'excuse' was merely a pretext to block these officers so that the villagers could eliminate evidence of their crimes!

Even if the 'misunderstanding' was cleared up in the end, the evidence of Wujiazai's gray industry chain would have been cleaned up by then!

No matter how the other side investigated, they wouldn't find anything!

Rip~

The villagers of Wujiazai were ruthless, and when they moved, they really moved!

At this moment, one officer accidentally had his walkie-talkie snatched away.

They even smashed it to the ground and didn't forget to stomp on it a few times!

The older leading officer's face changed dramatically.

Because just now, someone actually tried to take his sidearm amidst the chaos!

It should be known that their guns were the real deal.

If they were taken away by these ignorant people, it would be truly dangerous!

"Stop! Everyone, stop!"

"We really are police officers; you can call the police to confirm!"

The leading officer's words did not stir any waves.

The villagers of Wujiazai, pretending to be 'ignorant of the law,' had already started to openly snatch his sidearm!

Bang!!!

That was the sound of a gunshot!

The people of Wujiazai: "!!!"

Everyone suddenly stopped.

The leading officer's heart sank, realizing something was wrong.

Because he recognized that sound—it was the sound of a gun he was all too familiar with!

It couldn't be wrong!

Could it be that one of his officers lost their temper and fired?

Or did a gun accidentally discharge during the struggle?

Either way, it was a bit of a mess!

"Who the hell fired the gun?!"

He couldn't help but shout angrily.

The other officers looked at each other, quickly checking their sidearms.

"Report, Captain, it wasn't me!"

"Not me either!"

The leading officer was dumbfounded.

None of them? Then who could it be?

It couldn't be him, could it?

Bang!!! *5

Another gunshot rang out!

And this time, it was five shots in a row!

Everyone present was stunned.

This couldn't be thunder, could it?

Soon, they saw who was firing.

Mu An and Liu Ziqian walked in from the village entrance.

And Mu An happened to be holding a gun, pointing it at the sky.

Clearly, the previous gunshots came from him!

"Can everyone be quiet now?"

Mu An said nonchalantly.

The crowd exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Especially Wu Yaodong, who was hiding behind the villagers, looked even more puzzled.

If he wanted to fire a warning shot, one or two shots would suffice.

But what was up with this young man?

He fired six shots in one go!

Basically, emptied his handgun of all its bullets!

If something unexpected happened afterward, it would be hard to deal with!

Of course, for the people of Wujiazai, this was clearly a good thing!

Could it be that this guy was some hot-headed rookie officer?

Wu Yaodong couldn't help but think this way.

"You think just because you say to be quiet, we will? Who the hell are you..."

A defiant villager instinctively wanted to retort and curse.

But the next second, Mu An aimed the gun at him and chuckled lightly.

"It doesn't matter who I am; what's important is, ask if the gun in my hand knows who you are?"

Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, the villager was so scared that his soul almost flew away!

"Ridiculous! As a police officer, how can you point your gun at a fellow villager?!" The leading police officer's face changed dramatically.

Beside him, Liu Ziqian was also in despair. If she had known that Mu An's so-called plan was this reckless, she would have never agreed to follow him! But now, it was too late to say anything.

And the gun was naturally something they had confiscated on the way! The unfortunate victim was some passing fugitive!

"I'm not a police officer! And this gun is out of bullets! No need to be afraid!" Mu An said with a smile as he lowered the gun.

"You're not scared now, are you?" He couldn't help but sneer at the villager who had first jumped out to cause trouble.

Some villager: "..."

He felt offended! But he could only dare to be angry without saying a word. Who knew if this guy was telling the truth about the gun being unloaded? If he was bluffing and there were bullets in the gun, then his life would be in danger!

After all, this madman really dared to shoot! He even fired six shots directly into the sky! Is that something a normal person would do?

On the other side, Mu An's first sentence had completely fried the leading police officer's brain! Not a police officer? And he has a gun? Could it be that he is also one of the fugitives?!

He instinctively reached for his service weapon.

"Uncle Kong, don't be nervous, this guy is one of us!" Seeing the situation getting more tense, Liu Ziqian had no choice but to step forward and explain.

It was all Mu An's fault for being so reckless! She would definitely get scolded when she went back!

"Xiao Liu? What are you doing here?" Uncle Kong and the other officers finally noticed Liu Ziqian's presence.

There was no helping it; Mu An's entrance was too explosive! Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him, and they didn't notice that there was someone behind him.

Uncle Kong even gave her a knowing look, as if to say: If you're being threatened, just blink!

"I'm fine here, and this guy is fine too."

"The gun was just confiscated from a fugitive on the way here!" Liu Ziqian explained with a wry smile.

If there was anything she hadn't anticipated, it was that Mu An had quietly 'stolen' the gun from the fugitive!

She had wondered why that fugitive was so unprofessional, not even having a gun for protection. It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't have a gun, but that someone had stealthily taken it!

And she hadn't even known about it!!!
