MTLNOVEL Chapter 50
No one expected that Xue Wen would not take action, but Su Pengcheng fired the shot first.
The bullets flew so fast that even if Liu Jin’an wanted to let Duan Haiping save people, it was too late.
Boom.
To everyone’s surprise, the bullet missed and narrowly missed Zhao Simo’s ear.
It embedded in the wall, making a dull sound.
The sudden change attracted everyone’s attention, and Zhao Simo, as if he expected it, seized this rare opportunity and grabbed Xue Wen’s gun first.
“How is that possible?” Su Pengcheng was still doubting himself.
By then, Zhao Simo already restrained Xue Wen, with the muzzle of his gun pressed against the opponent’s throat, and shouted in Burmese:
“Stand back. If anyone dares to take a step forward, I will kill him!”
Xue Wen ordered everyone: “Step back! Everyone, step back!”
Relying on holding Xue Wen hostage, the three of them successfully arrived at the hospital gate. In front of them was the rescue team that rushed to meet them.
Xue Wen knew that the situation was over, and his voice was full of exhaustion and vicissitudes of life: “You win, Zhao Simo, let me go, I am willing to accept legal sanctions.”
“Uncle, I am not like you.”
Zhao Simo whispered in his ear: “Once you have done some things, you must finish them forever. If you don’t remove the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze. I will not give you a chance to make a comeback.”
Xue Wen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He wanted to say something, but a bullet entered from the side of his neck and shot through his throat.
Blood spurted out and splashed all over Zhao Simo’s face.
But he didn’t seem to notice anything. He was as calm as if he just slaughtered a fish on the chopping board and threw the fish scales on the ground.
The subsequent cleanup work was not their responsibility.
Without the threat of hostages, the rescue team was not afraid of this rabble at all, not to mention that Duan Haiping tampered with their weapons.
Within half an hour, this arrogant team of drug lords was all captured.
Su Pengcheng was handcuffed, his angry eyes always falling on Zhao Simo.
He cursed and roared angrily, accusing Zhao Simo of his shameless behaviour.
Zhao Simo glanced at him expressionlessly. The gun in his hand was loaded in the face of the other person’s horrified eyes, and the muzzle was pointed at his head.
“Zhao Simo, what are you doing?” Seeing this, Chief Lin quickly stopped him, “Su Pengcheng has been arrested, and there are laws to punish him. What are you going to do?”
Zhao Simo smiled and said: “Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is the eternal truth. I don’t think that under the current situation, it is recommended that prisoners undergo reform.”
“In troubled times, we should follow strict rules. If we don’t kill a few people to shock the superpowers, they will never learn to respect the power of the country.”
Chief Lin still disagreed with Zhao Simo’s point of view: “You should restrain yourself. You’ve just made a great contribution, so don’t put bad record again.”
“Just for my sake, spare his life first.”
“In that case,” Zhao Simo took back his pistol, “I will follow this once.”
When Su Pengcheng heard this, he collapsed on the ground. The ground was wet, and there was a strong smell.
He was so scared that he peed himself.
Chief Lin looked unhappy and quickly ordered his subordinates to take the person away.
His eyes passed over Zhao Simo, and when he saw Liu Jin’an behind him, he immediately put on a smile: “Xiao Liu, you really worried me and your Uncle Zheng!”
Hiss, goosebumps rose.
Liu Jin’an still remembered that the last time Chief Lin talked with him, he had a condescending attitude, but in a blink of an eye, he became enthusiastic to the point of flattery.
Zheng Chunhua was also specifically mentioned.
No need to guess why.
“Chief Lin is very kind, and this time is just the right time for me to do my best,” Liu Jin’an pointed out, “Look at the contribution I made to the rescue operation…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget you.”
Chief Lin made up his mind to have a good relationship with Liu Jin’an, so he would not treat him badly materially and promised to reward him with one kilogram of gold in the name of his bravery.
Nowadays, the Internet was paralyzed, online banks were completely unusable, and banknotes had repeatedly devalued.
As a hard currency, gold had re-entered the stage of history and had become one of the currencies currently traded.
Another one was the gallium stone. People gradually realized that absorbing the gallium stone could improve their abilities. The price of the gallium stone skyrocketed, and it became a hot commodity in the market.
Liu Jin’an had hoarded some gold before, but unfortunately, the warehouse where the gold was stored had been emptied, and the gold disappeared.
He also collected a sack of gallium stones, which was not much, and stored it in the trunk of the off-road vehicle.
He planned to sell them when the price of gallium reached its highest point.
“An’an!” Hu Jianye waved to him excitedly in the crowd.
Wang Mazi and the others also kept shouting, “Boss, Boss, Boss.”
Chief Lin said warmly, “It’s getting late. Your friends are still waiting for you. Go back and rest early. We’ll talk about other things tomorrow.”
Like a kind elder, he patted Liu Jin’an on the shoulder, his eyes unabashedly admiring and encouraging him.
After walking away, Zhao Simo reminded him, “That old guy is very shrewd. Don’t be fooled by his appearance.”
Liu Jin’an nodded, “I know that.”
No one who could sit in the position of chief of staff was fuel-efficient lamp.
What he cared more about than this was: “Has the mole been found?”
Zhao Simo looked solemn. He didn’t like to be sloppy, or else he wouldn’t have sent Xue Wen back to the west so neatly.
The mole was always a hidden danger.
“I’ll try it again tomorrow. It’s already very late today. I’ll go back to the dormitory to sleep. You should also go to bed early.”
After that, he glanced at Duan Haiping, pretended not to see him, and walked past Duan Haiping toward the dormitory building.
“An’an, who is that person? He has a bloody face, so scary.” Hu Jianye had already been here, but he saw Liu Jin’an talking to Zhao Simo, so he didn’t come forward.
Liu Jin’an raised his lips slightly, “An old fox.”
“Ah?” Hu Jianye was stunned.
Liu Jin’an said, “Don’t worry about him. Let’s go back to the camp to rest. Xiao Duan, will you go back with me?”
Duan Haiping gritted his teeth and said, “You finally remembered me. How come you couldn’t remember my existence at all when you were talking to that person surnamed Zhao?”
Liu Jin’an was confused, “You are my summoned object. How can I forgot whether you exist or not?”
“Then you can’t ignore me and have a great time chatting with other men!” Duan Haiping didn’t want to admit it. When he saw Liu Jin’an and Zhao Simo getting along well, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
“I had a great conversation with him? Are you blind, or am I crazy?” Liu Jin’an rolled his eyes, “That thousand-year-old fox, if you say more than two words to him, you’ll fall into his trap.”
Duan Haiping snorted coldly, “Just think I was wrong, but Chief Lin is obviously trying to win you over. What do you think?”
“I declined. What else can I do? I will not stay in Yuncheng.”
Liu Jin’an said casually.
Duan Haiping carefully looked at the other party’s expression and made sure that there was no reluctance at all, then felt a little relieved.
“You will be a high-ranking official with a generous salary, five insurances, and one housing fund, and maybe even a house, a car, and money. You’re not tempted by these?”
Even Duan Haiping himself felt that staying in Yuncheng would do no harm to Liu Jin’an. It might not be a bad thing to settle down early.
“But I promised Duan Haiping. Since I promised, I must do it.”
Liu Jin’an smiled slightly, with undisguised tenderness and softness in his eyes.
“I really worry about him being left alone in Beijing to fight alone. I have to see him all the time.”
