Chapter 322: Chapter 288: Overbearing Arrival, Off the Mark

"The one surnamed Zhang, Zhang Yunsheng, is like that, buying a house in the Fragrant Lotus Courtyard after shamelessly scraping together enough money, no doubt because it’s safe here, or perhaps looking to climb up the social ladder.

Is his woman that ignorant? Not to mention she didn’t get a bite; even if she had bitten his daughter, would she dare to say more?"

Police Commissioner Yu furrowed his brows.

He wondered whether his temper had become too mild over the past two years, such that some people completely failed to read the situation.

He looked at the young girl in front of him, who was coquettishly acting like a kitten, with indulgence flooding his heart, and chuckled, "I promised your father long ago that if he died in battle, I would take good care of you. How could I let you suffer?

Relax, Lu Xinluo, within three days, that man surnamed Zhang will be locked up to vent your Bao’er’s anger."

The wolf dog seemed to understand as well.

This time, not only would it not be punished,

On the contrary, it would make the family opposite suffer a big loss, and immediately began wagging its tail and romping around joyfully.

It nuzzled affectionately around Police Commissioner Yu’s feet for a while, circled around Lu Xinluo a few times, and then ran out of the house.

"Come back, don’t run."

When Lu Xinluo saw her beloved dog running out the door again, she ran into the courtyard after it.

She just followed suit and ran out.

But as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and let out a shrill scream.

Pale-faced, she fell backward.

Thump...

Her head struck the ground, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

"What?"

The shock for Police Commissioner Yu was no small matter; he pushed away the girl who had been massaging his shoulders, grabbed the handgun from the table, and, like a tiger, sprang up and dashed to the doorway.

Without checking on Lu Xinluo’s injury, he peeked out sideways with half his face, looking out at an angle.

He then saw right at his own front door,

A headless dog carcass was twitching.

The dog’s head, with its ferocious teeth bared, had been severed and placed on the doorstep, with a note in front of it.

On the note were written eight bold characters:

"Taking your dog’s life, gifting you ’Ping’an’ (peace)."

"Someone, come here."

Police Commissioner Yu yelled in horror.

But aside from his hoarse voice echoing in the villa’s courtyard, there was no second person to respond.

All around, the silence was as profound as the dead of night.

"Where are the security guards? Where have they all died?"

Police Commissioner Yu was at a loss for words, biting his lip, he stepped outside the door, looked left and right, and saw eight security guards lying straight in the yard, sleeping soundly as if in deep slumber.

The head of the security team, who he personally promoted and adopted, and who had undergone genetic transformation, Zeng Yuan, was lying on the ground with a bizarre smile on his face, even drooling suspiciously.

"Who, who did this?"

Police Commissioner Yu felt a chill at the back of his head, as if a sharp knife was tightly pressed against him.

He turned around to look but found nothing.

However, the metallic chill and the scent of bloodlust made his skin crawl; this was definitely not an illusion.

"Dog’s life? ’Ping’an’...right, ’Ping’an’."

He seemed to have heard this term before, and in a moment of inspiration, it suddenly came to him—the punishment verdict he himself had delivered at noon that day.

He pulled out his mobile phone, his hands trembling as he dialed. He pressed the wrong numbers three times before finally getting it right, and before he could speak, a voice on the other end came through with a crying tone: "It’s all over, all of it, both disciplines squads dead, they resisted arrest, they resisted.

Director, Tang Tang has rebelled, Zhou Ping’an too, they are lawless; should we..."

"Rebel what? Are you living in ancient times? Cease actions and return immediately. Draft a document and retract that punishment scheme first."

Thirty years ago, Police Commissioner Yu was a seasoned warrior; no matter how luxuriously he lived these years, the basic combat readiness and crisis awareness were still there.

When the dog’s head was presented directly in front of him,

He knew that the other party was actually waiting for an answer.

If he didn’t decide quickly,

The fate of the imported wolfhound would become his own fate.

The enemy never left; they had always been standing behind him.

He could even hear their breathing.

And could smell a pleasant, virginal fragrance.

It was a woman.

And she was ready to strike at any moment.

Just like dealing with fish on a chopping board.

But, what was terrifying was,

Even though he knew someone was standing behind him, no matter how he turned or from which direction he looked, he could see no shadow at all.

What should he do now?

"I don’t care anymore, let things take their own course."

He went back inside, helped Lu Xinluo up, and seeing that she had only bumped the back of her head without bleeding, he felt somewhat assured.

After thinking it over, he took out his phone again, dialed, and without waiting for the other person to speak, urgently said, "Boss, here in Dongjiang, all is calm. Special Combat Squad Senior Inspector Tang Tang has achieved great success in his case, and can be promoted to Deputy Police Commissioner. Senior Inspector and Third Group leader Zhou Ping’an can be made Deputy Squad Leader, taking charge of daily special combat operations."

After finishing the call, without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone with a "click."

He waited a few more minutes.

Finally, he felt the chill at the back of his head slowly recede.

He moved back to the wall, pressing tightly against it, and looked up at the sky, now gasping heavily.

He had skirted around the brink of death.

At this point, Police Commissioner Yu lost all interest in scheming.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the absurd incident a while ago when the Special Combat Squad leader Wang Yulin made his speech in the square, as well as the mentally unstable Councilor Chen, who eventually jumped off a building to his death.

"How ruthless, I’m done playing. Let the younger ones take care of Dongjiang Public Security. What’s there to fight over when it’s time to retire?"

Only then did he remember to call the hospital to send an ambulance.

And he personally urged his secretary to issue the recent promotion orders on Police Security’s internal network.

"Let Wei Changhe deal with the headache."

Thinking this, Police Commissioner Yu felt considerably more at peace.

...

Director Wei had even more of a headache than Police Commissioner Yu.

He didn’t really do anything, just watched the young successor dispatched from Linhai issue a few commands.

After all, as someone about to be transferred, he shouldn’t have been involved in anything more.

But unfortunately, his superiors required that he maintain a stable and thriving Dongjiang for his successor.

This was tied to his treatment in Linhai and his future career, giving Director Wei essentially no choice.

He had given the orders.

Before even waiting for his secretary to come back with a report,

he heard a commotion outside the Administration Office.

Gunfire erupted.

"Gunfire?"

"In the Administration Hall?"

That such a preposterous event could occur.

Director Wei could hardly believe his ears.

He abruptly stood up.

He didn’t notice the young man beside him drawing his service pistol and aiming at the office door.

"Pop..."

A bullet whistled through the apricot-yellow wooden door, carrying tremendous force and shattering the handsome, young man’s right arm at the elbow, turning it into a tangle of blood and gore.

And it made a large hole in the wall behind.

Boom...

A well-dressed young man in Police Security uniform pushed the door open and entered, still holding a sniper rifle.

He laughed and said, "Zhang Xilin of Special Warfare Team Three, acting under orders from the team leader, has come for your protection. I heard a miscreant has coerced the Governor to issue unorderly commands, so I hurried over. Thankfully, I wasn’t too late."

Six people filed in behind him.

One team member grabbed the young man beside Director Wei and dragged him away.

But Zhang Xilin turned to look outside the office’s glass walls at a figure approaching rapidly from the rooftops, trailing streamers of light, as if bat wings were emerging.

"There’s also an A-level Genetically Modified Warrior for protection, no wonder Director Wei is so desperate."

Zhang Xilin chuckled, and instead of taking aim to shoot, he nonchalantly slung the rifle over his shoulder and watched with cold eyes as the figure closed the thirty-meter gap between them.

Pfft...

Suddenly, a pale blue light shot across the void.

Swooshing from afar.

The winged figure paused midair just for a moment before exploding into a cloud of bloody fragments, crashing to the ground below without a sound.

"Tsk... it’s over."

Zhang Xilin shrugged, shaking his head with a sigh, "Why bother? Of all people to provoke, you chose the Team Leader. It’s just your bad luck."

"Director Wei, conduct your affairs properly and you might keep your life. Otherwise, you will end up mutilated and bring disaster upon your family as well. What’s the point?"

"You..."

Director Wei’s face turned ashen, and he stammered, "You’ve won."

He had contemplated various outcomes, thought through numerous gambles.

But.

Never had he imagined that they would so flippantly descend upon the Administration Hall.

To dispatch someone so arrogantly to take over the Administration Hall must mean they’d already controlled all the Police Security forces within the city.

As for the field forces outside the city.

Not to mention that he wouldn’t be given a chance to communicate with them now.

Even if he could get in touch, it’s doubtful he could command them.

How did things get to this stage?

He was completely baffled by some of Zhou Ping’an’s actions.

This reckless approach was completely off the mark.

...
