The police officers below the stage were completely dumbfounded, exchanging glances, at a loss.
They looked at Wang Fugui, who was acting like a madman on stage, and then at the shocking photos and transfer records displayed on the projection screen.
Finally, their gazes converged on Qin Rou, who stood alone by the projector, her posture as straight as a spear.
Arrest her?
What kind of international joke was that!
The evidence was right in their faces; if they still listened to the station chief, what else would they be but accomplices aiding and abetting evil?
When the disciplinary inspection and anti-corruption commission came to investigate later, no one would be able to escape!
Li Yifan huddled beside Lu Xuan, pulling on his sleeve, his voice lowered and distorted, “Brother Xuan… Brother Xuan, isn’t this… isn’t this playing a bit too big? I… I’m a little scared!”
Lu Xuan calmly patted his shoulder, signaling him to relax, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
He wasn't worried about himself, but about Qin Rou.
This beautiful police officer was too straightforward and too clean.
She was like a drawn sword, sharp and exposed, but also easily broken by the old hands in this murky water.
Seeing that none of the police officers below responded, Wang Fugui’s face, which had already turned liver-colored, twisted with rage.
His eyes, hollowed out by wine and women, shot out a venomous glare.
“Are you all deaf! Didn’t you hear me speak?” he roared, spittle flying, “Whoever takes down Qin Rou, this bitch, right now, I’ll guarantee him a deputy section chief position! No, I’ll guarantee him a spot in the criminal investigation team!”
Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men.
However, this time, his promise failed to elicit any action from anyone.
Several old hands who usually associated with him now bowed their heads, pretending to examine their shoelaces, fearing he would call their names.
Are you kidding? A position in the criminal investigation team was desirable, but one had to be alive to enjoy it!
If the things on this PPT were true, Wang Fugui himself would end up singing behind bars; who would dare to believe the empty promises he made?
Qin Rou stepped forward, her clear, cold gaze fixed on the furious Wang Fugui, her voice not loud, but every word clear, echoing in the dead silent conference room.
“Wang Fugui, you abused your power, acted as a protective umbrella for evil forces, and engaged in corruption. You are the true black sheep of our police force! With undeniable evidence, what more do you have to argue about!”
“I argue? I argue your mother!”
Wang Fugui had completely lost his mind. He looked at the faces around him—some disdainful, some fearful, some pitiful—and felt like a clown stripped naked, nailed to the pillar of shame.
All his escape routes were blocked!
A desperate, do-or-die viciousness surged from the bottom of his heart!
In a flash of lightning, he suddenly turned sideways, his right hand shooting like lightning towards his waist!
A soft click.
A dark, gaping Type 92 pistol was pulled from its holster!
Originally, there was a stabbing case in the jurisdiction today, and Wang Fugui had personally led the team to the scene, carrying a gun as per regulations.
Later, because of Liu Ming’s matter, he rushed back in a hurry, forgetting to immediately return the gun to the armory.
At this moment, this gun, which should have punished evil, became his final act of madness!
“Ah!”
The conference room instantly erupted! The timid female clerks shrieked and crouched under the tables, and the male officers’ faces also changed drastically, retreating one after another, exclaiming, “Station chief, calm down,” and “Don’t be impulsive!”
The dark, gaping muzzle was aimed directly at Qin Rou’s forehead.
Qin Rou’s pupils suddenly constricted, and all the blood in her body seemed to freeze at that moment.
Even with the most rigorous psychological training, when a cold gun muzzle was pointed at her, cold sweat uncontrollably seeped from her palms.
If Wang Fugui was truly insane… she would be finished here today.
“You bitch!” Wang Fugui held the gun, his arm trembling slightly from excitement and anger. He laughed hideously, his smile uglier than a cry, “I know, you just want to step on me to rise! Even if I, Wang Fugui, die, I will never let your wicked scheme succeed!”
“Today, I will eliminate evil for the people! Cleanse the ranks!”
With that, his thick index finger pressed down hard on the trigger!
“Bang!”
A muffled thud!
But it wasn't a gunshot!
It was the dull whoosh of a swift and unparalleled whip kick!
Lu Xuan, who had been leaning back in his chair leisurely watching the show a second ago, his figure appearing like a stretched afterimage in everyone’s eyes, instantly appeared beside Wang Fugui!
He didn’t even stand up; he just sat in his chair, one leg kicking out with incredible speed at an impossible angle!
Precise!
Ruthless!
“Crack!”
A crisp, teeth-grinding sound of bone breaking, louder than a gunshot, exploded in the conference room even sooner!
Wang Fugui’s right arm, which held the gun, folded outwards at a grotesque angle, and even stark white bone fragments pierced through his police uniform, exposed to the air!
“Ah—! My hand! My hand!”
A pig-like shriek echoed throughout the entire police station, and the Type 92 pistol also slipped from his hand weakly, drawing an arc in the air before clattering to the ground.
Qin Rou reacted the instant Lu Xuan made his move. She suddenly lunged forward, executing a clean and sharp takedown, pressing the screaming Wang Fugui firmly onto the conference table, twisting his hands behind his back, pulling out handcuffs, and with a “click,” securely cuffing him!
The entire process was fluid and fast, dazzling to the eye!
Wang Fugui, pinned to the table, was sweating profusely from the pain, still yelling obscenities, “Qin Rou, you venomous woman! Comrades! Quickly grab her! She’s a spy! She wants to kill me!”
Qin Rou pressed her knee firmly into Wang Fugui’s lower back, leaned down, and said to him in a voice only the two of them could hear, word by word, “Wang Fugui, your good days are over.”
