Yu Hongzhi wanted to kill Chen Jinzhao.
Previously, Chen Jinzhao hadn't made a move, so he hadn't found a suitable excuse to convince his subordinates.
Now that Chen Jinzhao had made a move, he could no longer blame him.
Deafening gunshots rang out, and dense bullets were fired at Chen Jinzhao's legs. Most of them hit the cement ground, kicking up a large spray of dust.
Chen Jinzhao's speed was so astonishing that he had already left his original position before the bullets could hit him.
Only a series of afterimages remained in his place.
Yu Hongzhi was not idle. He also raised his gun, aiming at Chen Jinzhao's forehead, and pulled the trigger!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bullets flew out. Yu Hongzhi was confident he could kill Chen Jinzhao with a headshot, as he was once a sharpshooter in their department! Moreover, the distance between them was less than five meters. How could Chen Jinzhao possibly dodge them?
When Tao Qiyue saw this, her face turned pale.
Her thoughts raced, but her mouth couldn't move fast enough to warn Chen Jinzhao.
She could do nothing.
In an instant, the three bullets appeared before Chen Jinzhao. Chen Jinzhao's nerves were already taut, and his muscles felt like they were tearing. He knew death was imminent.
Buzz!
Taishui appeared, emitting a dazzling cold light in the night!
This cold light flickered in everyone's eyes. Chen Jinzhao raised his hand to block the bullets with Taishui, deflecting them! All three bullets were stopped by Chen Jinzhao, and not a single one managed to wound him.
Yu Hongzhi's heart grew cold. He wondered what kind of monster he was fighting.
In that moment of distraction, Yu Hongzhi didn't have time to fire another shot. The next instant, Chen Jinzhao was upon him. This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and they dared not fire, fearing they would accidentally injure Yu Hongzhi.
"Old dog, die!" Chen Jinzhao grunted.
Before Yu Hongzhi could pull the trigger, he was flicked away by Chen Jinzhao's Taishui. Then Chen Jinzhao kicked the handgun away. Yu Hongzhi was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to speak, he found a three-edged dagger pressed against his throat, having already pierced his flesh, causing him slight pain. He reached up to touch his neck, his palm stained with bright red blood.
"Director Yu, are you alright?" the deputy asked anxiously.
Chen Jinzhao leveraged his arm to lock Yu Hongzhi's throat and pressed Taishui against his temple, shouting at the uniformed personnel surrounding them, "If any of you dare to take a step forward, I'll kill him!"
This move was effective. After exchanging glances, they all retreated. The deputy shouted, "Don't be rash. We can talk about this. Don't ruin your life."
"All of you, get out of the way. I won't kill him," Chen Jinzhao commanded.
The deputy also signaled his subordinates to restrain Tao Qiyue, who did not resist.
At this moment, Yu Hongzhi laughed to the sky and shouted at his deputy, Hu Zhenjiang, "Old Hu, kill this madman. Don't worry about my safety. It would be my honor to die by your guns."
Hu Zhenjiang's face contorted. "What are you saying? We won't let you die."
"Fire!!!" Yu Hongzhi roared, his eyes red.
Hu Zhenjiang ultimately couldn't give the order. He continued to try and persuade Chen Jinzhao to put down his weapon. Chen Jinzhao, holding Yu Hongzhi hostage, walked towards the villa, saying, "You'd better not follow, or I will kill him."
Everyone indeed stopped.
Yu Hongzhi, held hostage by Chen Jinzhao, was dragged into the villa and still shouted at Hu Zhenjiang, "Kill me! I am a sinner!!!"
He knew very well that once Chen Jinzhao brought him into the villa, more variables would arise!
Hu Zhenjiang was deeply shaken, seemingly understanding something. He hesitated whether to order the shooting of both of them. Tao Qiyue also shouted at him, "Hu Zhenjiang, you should understand the relationship between Yu Hongzhi and the Su family. Tonight, we were ordered to arrest Su Jian, who should have died. He is now living under the alias Su Mingze, still at large. As a veteran of this system, can you bear to watch our principles be trampled by these people?"
"I..."
Hu Zhenjiang was speechless.
He had already guessed some things, and hearing the whole story from Tao Qiyue made his face even more dejected.
Indulging evil and trampling on the bottom line of the law would ultimately make one a sinner in history.
Hu Zhenjiang could not bear such a responsibility!
Finally.
He abandoned the thought of having Chen Jinzhao and Yu Hongzhi shot together and gritted his teeth, saying to Yu Hongzhi, "I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
Yu Hongzhi was utterly disappointed and let out a mournful laugh, hot tears streaming down his face!
"Behave yourself." Chen Jinzhao dragged Yu Hongzhi into the villa and then threw him to the ground.
Yu Hongzhi, however, stood up and snorted, "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated."
Chen Jinzhao looked up at Yu Hongzhi and said mockingly, "I didn't expect you to be such a tough guy. I underestimated you."
"Heh heh, when I was young, I was the most outstanding in the system for three consecutive years. Do you really think I'm a nobody?" Yu Hongzhi knew he was about to die, and his face was filled with contempt for Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao said calmly, "Indeed, a man. But your toughness is misdirected. Colluding with a sinful family like the Su family is the biggest mistake of your life. Now, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Cooperate with Tao Qiyue's investigation and confess what the Su family has done. Then, I won't pursue your assassination attempt."
Yu Hongzhi laughed heartily, tears welling up in his eyes, "Spare me. I won't say anything."
"From the moment I decided to kill you, I never intended to survive! Don't expect me to beg for mercy. I am a man who stands tall!"
"Do you see the scars on my arm? They were inflicted by those thugs when I was undercover. Even those ruthless individuals couldn't get a single piece of useful information from me. Don't think you are omnipotent."
Mentioning past glories, Yu Hongzhi's eyes were filled with longing.
Those were the hardest years, but also the happiest and most passionate period of Yu Hongzhi's life.
Chen Jinzhao was taken aback. After a long silence, he said, "Look in the mirror. Where is your past vigor now? You've willingly become a tool of the Su family, committing evil deeds for them for years. Haven't you ever felt a shred of regret?"
If this core figure of the Su family could be turned, the Su family would collapse from within.
Regret?
Yu Hongzhi certainly did, because his conscience was not dead.
But at the final moment of his life, Yu Hongzhi only wanted to die freely, fearing that if he looked at the world a few more times, he would be reluctant to die.
"Chen Jinzhao!!!"
"I advise you to give up. I will not tell you any secrets about the Su family."
As his voice fell.
Yu Hongzhi pressed his hand on his bulletproof vest and then lunged at Chen Jinzhao, embracing him tightly!
Chen Jinzhao felt a sense of alarm. Only now did he realize that what Yu Hongzhi was wearing was not a bulletproof vest, but one filled with explosives. The press Yu Hongzhi made just now must have been the detonation button!
The moment Yu Hongzhi embraced Chen Jinzhao, a terrifying energy erupted from his vest!
Boom!
The bomb detonated, shaking the earth.
Echoing through the mountains along with the sound of the explosion was Yu Hongzhi's roar before detonating the bomb.
"Even if I am guilty, no one can judge me!"
"My fate is my own, not heaven's!"
