Chapter 178: A Smart Person
In the car.
The man sitting in the back was the leader of the 7th group. Tonight, it was their 7th group’s turn to patrol. He had thought it would be just an ordinary night, but he hadn’t expected such a huge mess.
It even implicated a car leader from the 7th group. If this matter was investigated, he, the group leader, wouldn’t be able to keep his job.
“Have you contacted Huo Fu yet?!”
Wang Shan was smoking, but the cigarette butt was about to be bitten to pieces by his teeth. It was clearly cold outside, but his forehead was sweating.
“Group Leader, Huo Fu’s phone is off. We can’t reach him.”
Wang Shan pinched out the cigarette butt with his fingers, his eyes deep. If something happened, his position as group leader would be over. Even if he didn’t die, he would only be a “lower person” with a string of numbers.
As his phone rang, Wang Shan saw the caller ID. It was actually the leader of the law enforcement team!
“Group Leader!”
“Two people are dead at the scene. The son of the 9th group’s leader, and the son of the vice-captain.”
A cold voice came from the phone, making Wang Shan’s heart almost stop beating.
People are dead!
I’m finished. I might not even have the qualification to be a lower person.
“Group Leader! I…”
“Just do your job first. Catch the person. Don’t cause any more trouble.”
He had originally wanted to plead a little, but from the group leader’s tone, there was no hope.
“I… I know.”
After hanging up, Wang Shan’s face was pale. If two ordinary people had died, there might still be a chance. But the son of the vice-captain had died. Not even God could save him…
As the convoy stopped, soldiers with automatic rifles got out one by one, first clearing the area and setting up a police cordon.
Wang Shan got out of the car and scanned the surroundings. He called over some law enforcement team members to understand the specific situation.
“What! The killer is a high-level executive from the company?”
Wang Shan was instantly stunned.
A member of the 9th group whispered, “I heard them say it’s because the company is dissatisfied…”
Although he didn’t say it out loud, Wang Shan understood who this dissatisfaction was aimed at. The Dawn Society.
When two gods fight, it’s us ordinary people who suffer. But I don’t have much time left now!
Wang Shan immediately called his group leader. The group leader was also silent after hearing it.
“You go in and see first. Don’t start a conflict. I’ll go and ask.”
“Yes!”
“You all, come in with me,” Wang Shan shouted. He would go in and see the situation first. He couldn’t afford to offend either the company or the Dawn Society.
Before walking into the bar, Wang Shan immediately reminded them, “Put away your guns.”
The team members were stunned for a moment, then all put away their guns and walked in. This way, they wouldn’t seem so hostile.
The crowd was greatly relieved when they saw the law enforcement officers with guns enter. They were finally here, thank goodness.
Especially the few from the discipline team, they were relieved.
Wen Tianyou felt as if a great mountain had been lifted from his shoulders. You guys really came at the right time. If you had been any later, I probably would have been gone.
Zhou Yang thought to himself, It’s over. I haven’t had enough fun yet. I still wanted to beat up Wen Tianyou.
And when Huo Fu saw his group leader appear, he knew this matter was over. Even a virus-fused person couldn’t escape the damage of bullets. Maybe they could dodge one, two, or even three guns, but with so many, they couldn’t possibly dodge them all.
Tang Ze’s peripheral vision caught sight of these visitors, and the corner of his mouth gradually curled up.
The appetizer had finally arrived.
Wang Shan looked at the fallen An Jiefeng, and the neck-twisted Qiao Zu, then at the young man sitting on the booth.
Just one look, and Wang Shan was basically certain that he was from the company nine times out of ten. Only someone from the company would show such a fearless attitude.
Wang Shan came to Huo Fu’s side and asked in a low voice, “What’s your situation? Who is he?”
Huo Fu said helplessly, “He’s someone sent by the company to suppress the Dawn Society.”
“What!”
After confirming the news, Wang Shan was sweating profusely.
“Group Leader, I have no way out. My life and death are all on him.”
Wang Shan could understand. To have committed such a huge thing, if that young man didn’t protect him, it was basically a dead end.
Then what about me?
That young man protects him, but who protects me?
Thinking about taking off this uniform in the future and becoming a lower person, Wang Shan felt that was even more miserable than death. And it wasn’t even certain he could become a lower person.
Huo Fu saw the change in his group leader’s face and suddenly suggested, “Group Leader, because of my involvement, you will probably be held accountable too.”
Wang Shan was so angry he wanted to shoot him. Do you still need to tell me that!
“Why don’t you join me and stand on the company’s side? Only then can you be safe, Group Leader, and even be heavily relied upon.”
These words were like a life-saving straw, giving the desperate Wang Shan a glimmer of hope, a hope of not becoming a lower person or dying.
“Group Leader, I have a feeling that if you dare to oppose him, you will surely die.” Huo Fu was now just trying to drag his group leader down with him. This way, he could make up for the lack of firepower. He started to scare him.
Huo Fu’s face was a picture of struggle. This was too big a gamble. If he didn’t oppose, he could still live. If he did, he would surely die…
But if he succeeded in opposing, he would be promoted…
Anyone who could become a squad leader had some ambition. Rather than living a humiliating life as a lower person, he might as well take a gamble. This young man seemed to have nothing to fear. He definitely wouldn’t be so bold without some confidence.
“Help me make the connection.” In this brief moment, Wang Shan had already bet everything he had.
He had rebelled!
“Alright.” Huo Fu was overjoyed.
Wen Tianyou and the few from the discipline team looked at Wang Shan with confusion. Why was he following behind Huo Fu?
Huo Fu came to Tang Ze and said respectfully, “Brother Tang, this is the leader of our 7th group, Wang Shan.”
“Brother Tang.” Wang Shan crossed his hands over his chest, but suddenly felt it was inappropriate and immediately bowed ninety degrees.
Wen Tianyou was dumbfounded. The three from the discipline team were as if struck by lightning, their heads buzzing.
After the leader of the 7th group came, he didn’t enforce the law, but directly bowed to him…
What was wrong with this world?
Zhou Yang beside him was also very confused. What had they just said? They had just rebelled…
Wang Shan’s team members were even more confused. Weren’t they here to arrest people?
How did they suddenly surrender?
Wang Shan naturally had to drag everyone down with him. He immediately shouted, “What are you all standing there for? Do you want to die? Greet him!”
“Brother Tang!” The surrounding team members also learned from Wang Shan and bowed to Tang Ze on the sofa.
Tang Ze couldn’t help but clap his hands. “As expected of a brainwashed city. It’s really opened my eyes.”
Hearing this, Wang Shan was not afraid at all. In fact, he was overjoyed. He had long heard that the company was against this kind of method. It seemed that today was the day they started to make a move!
One of the members of the discipline team suddenly shouted frantically, “Don’t talk nonsense! We are not brainwashed! We are followers of the Saintess! All of you will be judged! The glory of the Saintess will no longer shine upon you…”
BANG!
Before he could finish, he was shot in the head.
Wang Shan held a pistol. This was his pledge of allegiance.
As expected of someone who was a squad leader, his methods were not ordinary.
“I admire you,” Tang Ze said, chuckling at Wang Shan.
Wang Shan was overjoyed and said respectfully, “It is my honor to be able to do something insignificant for Brother Tang.”
“Not bad. I’ve seen too many idiots on this road. I’ve finally met a smart person,” Tang Ze couldn’t help but sigh.
