Tao Qiyue froze.
Chen Jinzhao didn't see the fleeting panic in her eyes.
She quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. We're in dire straits, and you still have the mood to flirt with me. Be careful, I'll tell Sister Yu."
Chen Jinzhao didn't feel he was flirting with Tao Qiyue and insisted, "I'm not lying. You are indeed more beautiful than the moonlight, and you have a beautiful heart."
This was his true thought.
Tao Qiyue rolled her eyes at Chen Jinzhao and then turned her head away, ignoring him. If they weren't in the darkness, Chen Jinzhao would have definitely seen the blush on Tao Qiyue's face.
The sentimental Comrade Tao gazed at the bright moon.
Sometimes, she also pondered a question: if she had met Chen Jinzhao before Yu Mengzhi, would the outcome be different?
The answer was yes.
But fate played tricks on people, and it couldn't be changed.
Tao Qiyue shook her head and stopped thinking. Perhaps it was good to be Chen Jinzhao's comrade-in-arms? She hoped that the veil between her and Chen Jinzhao would never be pierced, so they could still be together often. If it were pierced, they might not even be able to be friends.
The two did not delve deeper into this issue. After further discussion, they threw Su Jian onto the back mountain and tied him to a tree, lest their situation become disadvantageous and their bodies be defiled by the enemy.
After doing all this, time was almost up.
Chen Jinzhao glanced at the time and frowned, "The Su family has indeed made a move. Candle Dragon special forces members were obstructed entering and exiting the Jiangnan Military Region. It seems many people in the Jiangnan Military Region are still loyal to the Su family."
It was understandable—
Many people in the Jiangnan Military Region were descendants of the Su family patriarch's subordinates. The Su family's influence in the Jiangnan Military Region could not be ignored.
This meant that the Candle Dragon special forces members would arrive at Zijin Mountain later than the Su family's people. Chen Jinzhao suddenly wanted to smoke but realized he hadn't brought any. He said in a deep voice, "The Su family is fighting a battle of no retreat this time, gambling the fate of their family. If they win, they can prosper for another hundred years. But if they lose, they will likely be severely weakened."
"Qiyue, do you have a gun?" Chen Jinzhao turned to ask her.
Tao Qiyue nodded, "I'm ready."
As she spoke.
Red and blue police lights flashed on the mountain road, and sirens blared.
Chen Jinzhao said, "They're here."
Tao Qiyue's palms grew sweaty with nervousness. She said in a heavy tone, "I never thought I would have to turn against these people. This is a scene I never imagined."
Not long after.
A black sedan stopped outside the villa.
Yu Hongzhi, wearing a bulletproof vest, got out of the car. When the two saw him, they exchanged glances and immediately understood much.
Yu Hongzhi had been abandoned by the Su family!
But—
He was still a very troublesome opponent.
Yu Hongzhi did not act rashly after getting out of the car. He waited for his subordinates to be ready before saying to Chen Jinzhao, "Criminal suspects, you are surrounded. Please lay down your weapons!"
Clamor.
Dozens of uniformed personnel surrounded them, making it impossible for even a fly to escape.
Tao Qiyue took out her identification, trying to reason with Yu Hongzhi, "I am Tao Qiyue, a criminal police officer from the Ninghai City Bureau. We have already arrested the criminal suspects. Please cooperate with my work."
Her words made Yu Hongzhi's subordinates look at each other suspiciously.
If Tao Qiyue was indeed a criminal police officer, what were they doing now?
Yu Hongzhi raised his hand, signaling someone to retrieve Tao Qiyue's identification. He took the identification, scanned it briefly, and then tore it to shreds in front of them, saying to both them and his subordinates, "These two are the criminal suspects. Forging official documents is an additional charge. Arrest them immediately. Remember they are armed and dangerous. If they resist, they can be shot on sight!"
"I will bear all responsibility!"
Yu Hongzhi's words dispelled any doubts from his men, and they swarmed forward to apprehend the two.
Tao Qiyue did not expect Yu Hongzhi to be so shameless. She immediately fired a warning shot into the air, causing dozens of people to draw their weapons and aim at them.
She said with a grim expression, "Listen carefully, I am Tao Qiyue from the Ninghai City Bureau. If you don't believe me, you can contact them now to verify. It won't be too late to arrest me if I'm lying. Yu Hongzhi is colluding with the Su family, trying to abuse his power for personal gain. If you conspire with him, can you still look at the emblem above your heads?"
The crowd hesitated again.
Yu Hongzhi roared again, "I said, I will bear any responsibility. What are you still standing around for?"
Tao Qiyue continued, "Also, the person standing next to me is Chen Jinzhao, the chief instructor of China's Candle Dragon special forces, a major general! If anything happens to him, Yu Hongzhi cannot bear that responsibility."
These consecutive statements made the uniformed personnel lean more towards believing Tao Qiyue's words were true.
Yu Hongzhi's face turned ashen.
He hadn't planned to see tomorrow's sun anyway; his sole purpose was to kill Chen Jinzhao!
If Tao Qiyue continued to interfere, he wouldn't mind a massacre!
"Heh, not only are you impersonating people from our system, but you even dare to impersonate a military big shot. Everyone, open your eyes and see clearly. Have you ever seen such a young general? These people are faking it without thinking."
The crowd suddenly realized.
In this light, Tao Qiyue was indeed lying.
Tao Qiyue's hands trembled so much she almost dropped her gun. The pressure was immense! She glanced at Chen Jinzhao, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Chen Jinzhao said, "You've said everything I wanted to say. I have nothing more to add. Yu Hongzhi is determined to kill us, so wasting more words is futile. Let's just act."
Tao Qiyue wanted to say something more but stopped. She still wanted to make a final effort.
Yu Hongzhi deserved to die, but his subordinates were innocent. They were merely blinded by Yu Hongzhi.
"Is there a way to subdue Yu Hongzhi without harming our colleagues?" Tao Qiyue asked in a low voice. Chen Jinzhao frowned, and after a moment, he said sternly, "Yes, there is. Put down your gun, and I'll tell you what to do next."
Tao Qiyue, without a second thought, placed her gun on the ground and raised her hands.
She looked at Chen Jinzhao again. Chen Jinzhao said, "Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate once!"
As he finished speaking.
Chen Jinzhao shoved Tao Qiyue aside and then shot towards Yu Hongzhi like an arrow released from a bow.
Since Tao Qiyue had already put down her gun, the uniformed personnel had relaxed their vigilance and did not react in time. Tao Qiyue, pushed aside, was horrified and finally understood what Chen Jinzhao's method was.
Yu Hongzhi's pupils contracted sharply as if experiencing a major earthquake, and he immediately ordered his men to fire!
With this order, the uniformed personnel in the front row no longer hesitated and immediately aimed at Chen Jinzhao's legs and fired!
Bullets tore through the night, carrying killing intent!
