To please others? It's better to please yourself.

Following the sound of gunfire and with tips from the public, Shen and his team finally found Zhou Lang.

Who knew Zhou Lang had truly gone mad with killing! He not only killed people he had a grudge against, but also fired shots at oncoming traffic police.

News travels slowly and communication is inconvenient at this time. The two traffic police officers had no idea that the man in police uniform on the other side was a murderer.

They glanced at Zhou Lang instinctively, and as a result, one was shot and killed, and another was wounded. The motorcycle also overturned.

Seeing the ferocity Zhou Lang revealed, Ren Jiahua led his men to chase even closer: "Keep up!" he said, reaching for his gun.

For those of them, the most dangerous time is during arrests and pursuits. As the captain of the criminal investigation team, Ren Jiahua is always at the forefront of every mission.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Lang simply drove his car into the pedestrians on the road.

"Ah—" "Ah—"

Screams erupted from the crowd, creating chaos.

Some people were busy dodging, while others rushed towards the police for protection.

"Help! Help!"

"Police officers—help—"

Ren Jiahua and his group had to slow down and avoid civilians. At this point, to avoid accidental injury, they couldn't easily fire their weapons!

Old policeman Guo Tian could only stay behind with a few people to clean up the mess. They then sought help to get the injured to the hospital for treatment.

"Old Guo—,"

Guo Tian looked up and saw his colleague, pointed to the person on the ground, and shook his head regretfully.

I saw six people who were seriously injured in the accident, with broken arms and legs, and one who died on the spot.

Guo Tian closed his eyes and cursed fiercely, "Damn it, you beast!"

Although many police officers remained at the scene, they took the injured to the hospital and evacuated and comforted the crowd.

There were quite a few people who wanted to kill Zhou Lang, and Shen He even tried to shoot him several times, but failed.

Zhou Lang, being shrewd, sensed the situation was dire and knew that time was limited and he couldn't afford to delay. So he resorted to his old trick, pulling out his pistol and firing wildly at passersby to create chaos.

Passersby were terrified and scattered in all directions.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, when no one was chasing after him, Zhou Lang turned and drove towards the police station.

Old Zhao and a group of men stayed behind and took the five wounded civilians to the nearest hospital. Unfortunately, two of them died on the spot, and three others were seriously injured.

Shen and the others, seeing the direction Zhou Lang fled in, shouted, "Oh no—!"

Because now all the personnel in the bureau have been mobilized, even Xiao Zhang, who is in charge of household registration, has been dispatched.

Is Director Qiao no longer in danger?

If the bureau chief gets into trouble at the police station this time, it will be an unbelievable story in the police force! How will these guys ever be able to go out in public again?

This should be included in police academy textbooks and used as a case study to explain to new recruits every year, right?

When they were still 100 meters from their unit, they heard gunshots. A collective gasp went through them. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, they jumped out and rushed forward frantically.

Ren Jiahua staggered. It's over! It's over! His job as the head of the criminal investigation team is officially over!

Shen He was even more panicked! His wife was still at the bureau! Between the bureau chief and his wife, did Zhou Lang even need to hesitate? The animosity between the two of them was undeniable!

When Shen He was running, he learned for the first time what it meant to "stumble in the deep water or the shallow water".

When they stormed into the police station, they saw Zhou Lang pointing a gun at Qiao Fengchun, followed by three gunshots.

"Chief—" "Chief—"

Zhou Lang was shot three times and fell to the ground, blood and brains splattering everywhere. Qiao Fengchun was covered in the splatter.

It took everyone a moment to catch their breath. They were terrified! Their hearts nearly stopped beating!

……

The scalding hot bullet casing hit her face, but Xu Jing'an didn't hesitate for a moment.

At this moment, she felt surprisingly calm, her mind a complete blank. Seeing many familiar faces pouring in, she instinctively and slowly walked out from around the corner.

The moment his wife came out, Shen He saw her immediately. He rushed over and hugged her tightly, comforting her repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, it's alright now."

"Honey, let's go home in a bit!"

"Wife, look up at me~"

It took Xu Jing'an a while to realize that her husband was calling her. She tried to focus her gaze on him, wanting to show that she was alright.

She thought she was normal, but Shen He saw her fear and apprehension at a glance.

Trembling hands, clenched teeth, heavy footsteps...

Shooting targets at the training ground and hitting the bullseye every time is different from killing someone with a gun in real life.

The former avoids the guilt and unease that constantly torment you when you kill your own kind.

Even if you know perfectly well that the person you're about to kill is a bad person, you still have to kill them. You will face indescribable mental torment. Fear, doubt, confusion, and other negative emotions will follow one after another.

The others also noticed Xu Jing'an, and now they all started to care about her, regardless of whether they knew her well or not.

"Xiao Xu, are you feeling any better?"

"Come inside and have some water!"

……

Qiao Fengchun wiped her face and waved her hand in response to everyone's concern: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Now get back to what you were doing and make sure the follow-up work on the case is done properly!"

Upon hearing Director Qiao's instructions, everyone turned and went about their own business. There were still so many things to handle, and the people needed to be appeased!

Qiao Fengchun turned to Shen He and said, "I'm giving you a week off. Go back and comfort Xiao Xu."

I couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for Xiao Xu today, I might have lost my life here!"

Even though Qiao Fengchun had been on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. He was also extremely angry; those of them who handled guns hated nothing more than someone pointing a gun at their head!

Xu Jing'an walked up to Qiao Fengchun and handed him the gun. "Chief, I'll head back now."

"Go back and get some rest, calm down. Come back tomorrow to submit the report."

"Shen He, remember to tell me if anything happens!" Qiao Fengchun was still worried and reminded him again.

Shen He quickly replied, "Thank you, Director, I won't forget."

I got on my bicycle and carefully led my wife home.

The bureau is busy right now, so the couple won't cause any trouble.

As soon as Xu Jing'an stepped out of the police station, she felt a sense of lightness wash over her. A sudden, profound sense of clarity and enlightenment washed over her.

She immediately understood: she had survived the ordeal!

As soon as the couple entered the house, the children surrounded them. "Mommy—, Mommy—, Mommy—"

Mao Mao: "I got 100 on my math test!"

"My son is so great," Xu Jing'an said, patting her youngest son's head.

DouDou: "Mom, I'm saving all the candy I've collected for you!"

Xu Jing'an kissed her daughter's forehead: "Thank you so much, my girl!" In this hot weather, the candy probably melted and wouldn't hold its shape.

Zhuangzhuang: "Xiaojiao in my class has a new floral dress that's so pretty. Mom, I bought you one with my allowance too."

Before Xu Jing'an could even feel touched, she immediately asked, "Son, tell Mom what color it is first?"

"It's pink, it's absolutely gorgeous!" "Yes, it's so pretty!" "We picked it out together!"

Regardless, it was all out of her son's good intentions, so Xu Jing'an hugged her eldest son.

"I'm enjoying the blessings of having children now! Just ask around the whole city, how many people like that can you find?"

The three children grinned sheepishly.

……

After not seeing each other for several months, the children and their mother seemed to have endless things to talk about.

Shen He: "Okay, that's enough. Mom's tired from the car ride, let her rest for a while."

Mother Shen: "I'll play with you again tomorrow!"

Shen He: "Let's all go out and have some fun!"

Xu Jing'an greeted Shen's parents and Shen Yue briefly and then went to sleep.

She's starting to feel the strain!
