Chapter 421

Hearing Zachary's words, the woman trembled. Obviously, she was afraid of killing people. However, she still bent over and picked up the pistol, aiming at Laosan, but she couldn't pull the trigger for a long time.

At this moment, Third Brother had pulled out the silver needle. He covered his throat with his left hand and took out the pistol with his right hand, aiming in Zachary's direction.

Seeing that the other party was about to shoot, the woman looked again at Zachary, who was almost dead on the ground, as well as the bloody wound on his back, which was left for her to block the gun. Suddenly, courage rose in her heart, and the finger on the trigger was heavily pressed down.

"Bang!" The gunshot sounded. Laosan, who had just raised his pistol, had a huge wound on his chest, and blood gushed out. Then he fell on his back and fell heavily to the ground. There was no more sound.

Seeing this, the woman was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly woke up. As if she was holding a piece of red-hot iron in her hand, she directly threw away the gun in her hand and quickly took a few steps back.

Her bright and clean forehead was covered in sweat, her chest violently heaving up and down, and her face was completely pale. Obviously, for an ordinary young woman, shooting someone to death was definitely something that would terrify her.

Just as the woman was gasping for breath, a "bang" came from behind her.

She quickly turned her head, only to find that Zachary had fainted and fell heavily on the ground. The bloody wounds on his body burst open, and streams of blood flowed out. Especially the wound on his back, which made the woman feel a sharp pain in her heart. Because of the spear, the man in front of her blocked it for her.

She never thought that there was a man who was willing to block bullets for her. And it was a strange man she had never known before. At this moment, some soft things in her heart were touched.

"You, are you okay?" The woman pushed Zachary, who was lying on the ground, and shouted. Her voice had already turned a little hoarse.

At this moment, a group of messy and dense footsteps sounded. A fully armed police officer rushed in and quickly controlled the situation at the scene.

The woman looked at the motionless man on the ground and did not come to her senses until a voice sounded in her ear, "Mrs. Han, why are you here?"

The woman turned her head and looked at the fat, big-eared policeman in front of her. Somehow, she suddenly disliked the term "Mrs. Han" and said, "My name is Xiao Ziqian. I'm not married yet."

The fat policeman was slightly stunned and immediately said, "Han, uh, reporter Xiao, don't move, I'll immediately call the stretcher over."

After that, the fat man shouted to the crowd, "Hurry up, take care of the stretcher. Here, first aid!"

"Yes, Director Hu!" Someone immediately responded.

Soon the stretcher came over, and Xiao Ziqian was carried to the stretcher. The fat policeman said with a smile, "Reporter Xiao, where did you get shot?"

Xiao Ziqian looked down at his bloody clothes and his eyes fell on Zachary. Suddenly, with tears in the corner of his eyes, he said, "Director Hu, I'm fine. It's someone else's blood." As he said this, she touched her cheek. The warm blood seemed to have the smell of that person.

Although Director Hu said that Xiao Ziqian was fine, he was not at ease. He hurriedly escorted Xiao Ziqian to the stretcher and was going to carry him downstairs.

The journalist in front of him was a famous reporter in Nan'an City's 'Nan's Night Report'. If it was just so, it was not enough to make the director of Nan'an Public Security Bureau, Hu Tianfu, to please him so much.

That was because this woman had another layer of identity. She now knew that Han De, a tomato from the personnel department of Nan'an City, was her fiancé. As for this Han De, although it was only a small Pinnacle, his father, Han Youguang, had started from a small Kefu, and eventually became the secretary of the municipal party committee in Nan'an City. He had been plowing and sowing for decades in the local area, and his power was very strong. Although Mr. Han passed away three years ago, the local forces of the officers promoted by the old man were still there. Therefore, even if Hu Tianfu, the director of the Public Security Bureau, met the Han family, he would also smile ingratiatingly.

Xiao Ziqian was on the stretcher. He saw two policemen checking Zachary's around and then said, "There's still aura!" Immediately, a captain waved his hand and ordered, "Cuff them together with the other three bodies. Bring them back!"

Zachary, who was on the verge of death, was pressed to the ground by two strong special policemen with his head pressed against the ground, and his hands were handcuffed behind his back. He trembled for a moment, let out a groan, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Xiao Ziqian saw this and hurriedly shouted, "You're mistaken. He's not a criminal!"

But at this time, the scene was chaotic and noisy. She was also tired and afraid. The sound was not loud, and no one heard her call. She wanted to get up, but she was pressed on the stretcher by Director Hu and the medical staff, and quickly carried downstairs.

With the shrill siren, the police car drove into the gate of the First Hospital of Nan'an. The hospital security guards quickly cleared the place. Wearing a mask, the emergency personnel pushed the car out from the inside. The two slaps on the back side of the police car were opened. Xiao Ziqian, lying on a stretcher, was quickly carried down and put on the small pushing cart, and then rushed to the operating room.

A moment later, several other ambulances also came back. Zachary and the three gangsters' bodies were all carried down, and then several people who were injured in the mall were also sent to the operating room.

In the evening, the chaos in the shopping mall was quickly transmitted to the opposite hotel. Lauren and Qiao Xiaoxiao saw that Zachary had not returned for a long time and were extremely worried. They made countless phone calls, but the phone was turned off all the time.

They even went there in person, but the scene had long been blocked by the police. They couldn't get in at all.

The two were exhausted and returned to the hotel. Qiao Xiaoxiao was disappointed, sitting on the bed and thinking about something. Lauren was constantly making calls, using all the connections she could use to search for Zachary's information.

After a fruitless night, the next morning.

Staring at the two men with dark circles under their eyes, they almost collapsed and walked out of the hotel. When they passed by the newspaper pavilion, they suddenly stopped, and their eyes fell on the headlines of almost all the newspapers.

"The vicious gangster robbed with a gun, and the valiant female reporter was injured in a fight."

At this time, in the VIP ward on the highest floor of the First Hospital in the city, the entire ward was filled with fragrant flowers. The reporters of the major media in Nan'an City swarmed in, and the representatives who came to show their condolences crowded the corridor.

Xiao Ziqian had changed into a white hospital gown. His arm was wrapped in a thick bandage, and his head was also wrapped in a few bandages.

For this point, Xiao Ziqian was very dissatisfied in his heart. She was not injured at all, and the credit of shooting last night should not be on him at all.

But at the moment, next to her, Han De, her fiancee, was wearing a well-ironed suit, slicked hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like she was in her thirties. At this moment, she was solemnly receiving interviews from reporters with a sad look on her face.

Listening to Han De bragging about her heroic record and extraordinary courage in front of reporters, Xiao Ziqian, who was also a reporter, couldn't help but feel disgusted and wanted to open his mouth to expose Han De's lie.

But before she opened her mouth, several medical staff of the City Public Security Bureau and the staff of the Public Relations Department next to her stared at her with a vigilant look.

Han De spoke with fervor and assurance, describing the dangerous scene last night. The brave fighting, the hero who beat the criminals to death, naturally rested on Xiao Ziqian's body.

After another long speech, suddenly, with a "hua la" sound, more than a dozen people walked into the ward carrying long guns and cannons.

The flashlights suddenly flashed, and the large professional camera of the TV station had also been in place. Then there was an uproar outside, and the crowd gave way to a passage. With a few minds, the big-bellied middle-aged man came over. He was the leading member of the city's Municipal Party Committee.

Among them, there were the deputy mayor Li Bo and the head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Hu Tianyou and others. Seeing them, Han De quickly got up with a smile on his mouth and said, "Mayor Li, Director Hu!" Li Bo nodded slightly, then walked to Xiao Ziqian's bed and said, "We're not here to inspect. We're here to visit our heroes."

As soon as these words were said, the scene was immediately boiling. The cameras and flash lights were crackling, and they were madly shooting at Li Bo.

Afterwards, Deputy Mayor Li, Director Hu, and other leaders expressed their respect for the brave battle one after another. Xiao Ziqian, the female reporter who had never retreated, highly praised the spirit of Assistant Director Xiao's bravery and courage to fight; praised the strict request of Director Han De and Director Han that radiation affects other people's character; and called on the government's members of the city to learn from Xiao Zizhao, so as to carry forward the spirit of South City's citizens' courage to fight, for the construction and harmony of Nan'an, and for the civilization Nan'an.

There was another round of warm applause and sounds of flashing lights.

Later, the city leaders sent flower baskets to the hero female reporter to show their appreciation and encouragement. Finally, under the gaze of the TV camera, the leaders ended the speech skillfully with a powerful wave.

The audience applauded warmly, and the atmosphere was very warm. Then, the leaders had to leave the hospital first because of official business. The whole process was followed by the municipal TV station, and the scene was very grand and touching.

Then Hu Tianhao, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was interviewed in the hospital hall.

"With the major armed robbery case this time, the police of the city rushed over and launched a quick attack, reducing the loss to the lowest level. They protected the country's resources and the lives of the people. The police acted decisively and subdued a few vicious gangsters to avoid more serious disasters. This was a very meaningful campaign in the history of Nan'an Public Security Bureau. It was a stroke of dark news in the glorious history of the law community of Nan'an!" Hu Tianfu excitedly made a conclusion to this operation.

Chapter 422

A reporter under the stage asked the people who were brought out. There were five men. Three of them had been identified as armed criminals. One of them was held hostage. Then who was the other man? Director Hu answered for this, saying that the case had to be further investigated. However, their police department never wronged a good person or ignored a bad person. Things would definitely come to light. After the condolence in the ward, Li Bo and the others returned to the office building of the Municipal Party Committee.

In the deputy mayor's office, Li Yan, Li Bo's son, sat opposite him with a red and swollen face. His eyes were full of resentment. He said, "Dad, I was beaten like this this time. You have to avenge me!"

Li Bo glared at his son and frowned with some displeasure. He said, "Such a big thing happened last night. Don't you know that I'm busy now?"

Li Yan said indifferently, "That shooting case has nothing to do with me. I don't care. I was beaten, and you must avenge me. The one who hit me was a guy named Zachary. Dad, send someone to catch him quickly." "It's a chaotic time, don't be rash!" Li Bo shouted, but suddenly he seemed to think of something. He looked at his son and said, "The person who beat you is called Zachary."

"Yes, he's Zachary!" Li Yan nodded and said firmly.

Li Bo did not speak. He stretched out his hand and took a stack of materials from the table. After which, he flipped to a page and handed it to his son. He said, "Is it this person?"

When Li Yan saw Zachary in the photo, she nodded and said, "Yes, dad, it's this guy. He slapped me in the face last night, which is not only a slap on my face, but also a slap on your father's face, the mayor's face." "Why is it him?" Li Bo frowned and softly asked.

"Dad, what's going on? Is there anything special about this guy?" Li Yan asked.

Li Bo turned over the information again, nodded with his fingers on it, and said, "Zachary, appeared at the shooting scene last night, and was shot at least three times."

"He got shot! That's great!" Li Yan shouted in surprise, "Is he dead?"

Li Bo frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't scold his son. He said, "He was rescued last night in the hospital, and his life is saved now."

"You saved your life!" Li Yan frowned when he heard this. However, his eyes suddenly lit up and he seemed to have thought of something. He said to Li Bo excitedly, "Dad, I have an idea."

"Er... "

Li Yan continues, "That Qin Haodong unexpectedly appeared at the shooting scene. This is a good opportunity. It's such a coincidence and so strange. Maybe he has some close contact with the shooting case, and he's even the accomplice of those criminals."

"Don't talk nonsense! The matter has not been decided yet!" Li Bo shouted.

Li Yan was not afraid and continued to say, "Dad, the matter has not been settled yet. But if you say something, the matter will be settled, won't it? When the time comes, it will be best to shoot the person who gave Qin Haodong a charge to be his accomplice directly."

Li Bo stared at his son and said, "Do you think I'm the local tyrant of Nan'an City? I'll do whatever I say. Besides, if this kind of thing is found out, it will affect my future badly."

Li Yan originally wanted to say something to persuade him, but at this time, the phone on the desk rang.

Li Bo picked up the phone, listened for a while, and his face turned cold. With a "bang", he hung up the phone, opened the computer on the table, and quickly entered a news page. Suddenly, a clear big title appeared in front of him: "The shooting last night in the mall, the officer's privilege to go first". The title of the news was a brief introduction, followed by a video.

Opening the video, it was the scene when the gun shot happened in the mall last night. Li Bo squeezed out from the crowd under the bodyguards' protection. Of course, it also showed the scene of Zachary beating the bodyguards and others with anger.

Seeing this video, Li Bo couldn't help snorting. When he looked at all kinds of comments below, his face turned green without looking at a few comments.

Immediately, Li Bo separately clicked on several news websites and local forums, and almost all of them could find the video. The following comments were also full of abuse. There were even people who left messages, saying that they were going to take off the official name of the officials in the video.

Seeing this, Li Bo could not help but snort coldly. With a "pa" sound, he turned off the computer's power source.

Li Yan, who was standing by the side, had already seen the contents on the computer. He immediately fanned the flames and said, "Dad, look, it's all because of that Qin fellow. Now that you've been hung up on the internet, you'll be scolded and fleshed. You must properly punish that kid."

"You don't have to say that!" Li Bo's face was very unpleasant.

He immediately picked up the phone and said, "Xiaowang, inform the police of the Municipal Bureau that I have a task for them. Also, prepare a car for me right away. I need to go to the Public Security Bureau to discuss the case of shooting." Seeing Li Bo hanging up the phone, Li Yan leaned in and said, "Dad, you must not be soft-hearted. You have to be ruthless to that guy. We have a grudge against him, so we can't let him go easily."

"Brat, do you really need me to teach you?" Li Bo snorted.

"I'm relieved that my dad will help us." Li Yan flattered him.

Subsequently, in less than half an hour, the video news, which was originally at various popular spots of the news web, disappeared inexplicably, and the following comment area was directly closed. As for those netizens who scolded the most, their names were directly sealed.

However, the noise on the Internet was just a small matter for Li Bo. At this moment, he was sitting in the meeting room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. What should be discussed was a big deal.

"The gunfire and hijack case last night had a very bad effect. It's the biggest malignant case in our city of Nan'an for nearly ten years. For the safety of the public and for the stability of society, we must do our best to investigate the case as soon as possible." Li Bo waved his hand and said with an impassioned look.

"Director Hu, please talk about the situation you have investigated now." Li Bo asked. "Okay!" Hu Tianfu picked up a stack of papers and began to read. "This case is..."

After a full quarter of an hour, he was finally able to sort out the details of the case.

There was no doubt that the three men in black were gangsters. At about 9:45 pm, three men in black took the opportunity to hijack Zhu Fuming, Mr. Zhu, a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Nan'an City, in an alley near the mall. The man wanted to take Mr. Zhu and leave directly.

Unfortunately, in the process of evacuation, it was seen by a group of passers-by. The passers-by shouted, which attracted everyone's attention.

So the three gangsters took Mr. Zhu and hid in the mall. When they met the police in the mall, they shot and caused chaos in the mall. Then the three gangsters took Mr. Zhu to the fifth floor of the mall.

At the same time, the young man named Zachary rushed in from the outside and came to the fifth floor along the fire stairs. He also met the hidden female reporter Xiao Ziqian on the fifth floor. Then there was a battle between the two sides. Due to the destruction of the surveillance equipment on the fifth floor, the scene was not photographed. However, according to reporter Xiao's testimony, the young man defeated the three gangsters and saved Mr. Zhu. However, he was accidentally plotted against and even blocked a bullet for reporter Xiao. Finally, the young man killed two gangsters and reporter Xiao killed one of them.

Among them, the gangsters hit by reporter Xiao to death by shooting, and the shot belonged to another gangster. However, one of the two gangsters killed by the young man was directly beaten to death in the temple, and the other was stabbed in the throat by silver needles.

Hearing this, Li Bo couldn't help but feel a shiver all over his body. He couldn't help shivering, and an inexplicable chill welled up in his heart.

The course of the case was basically clear, but the most important thing was that the fighting happened on the fifth floor. In addition to Xiao Ziqian's confession, he was in a state of confusion.

In addition, there was another extremely important question. How was the nature of this youngster surnamed Qin set? Was he a brave warrior who was willing to uphold justice? Or was he an opportunist who had ulterior motives? Or was he simply the accomplice of an evil criminal?

He had directly carried out a case analysis conference on the spot for this key issue. Different people provided their own opinions.

Almost all of the policemen and on-site staff thought that Zachary was doing what was righteous. They thought that the young man named Zachary was brave because he heard the gunshot and saw someone injured and armed. Therefore, he rushed into the mall regardless of his own safety. He was the big hero of Nan'an City.

But on the other side, several cadres led by the deputy mayor Li Bo didn't think so. They had another opinion. They thought it was unreasonable and unreasonable to stand on the side of justice.

Generally speaking, in this critical situation, and in the case of shooting and murder, people should be instinctive to run for their own life. How could they have the courage to go for the sake of justice?

Even if Qin Haodong was really righteous, the other party was not an ordinary gangster, but with a gun in his hand. How could he, Zachary, do such a silly thing alone? If he did justice, why did he avoid the security guards and police in the shopping mall, broke through the passage of the fire stairs alone, and slip up to the fifth floor?

Coupled with the terrible incident that he caused chaos outside the shopping mall, Deputy Mayor Li Bo firmly believed that this young man named Zachary was very likely to be the accomplice who was arranged by the gangster to the periphery.

At that time, after finding that things were not going well, they rushed to the fifth floor to help their accomplice. As a result, either because of profit or other reasons, there was a fight. In the end, the gangster died and Zachary was seriously injured.

For this funny explanation, the investigation policemen almost expressed their doubts and objection in the first place. But unfortunately, Li Bo insisted on his opinion. In addition, he was the largest official on the spot. Therefore, he strongly agreed with Li Bo's conjecture and decided to arrest Zachary and ask him for an investigation to find the final answer.

Chapter 423

Just when the police were busy handling the case, the final group of interviews were sent away in the VIP ward of the First Hospital in the city.

Xiao Ziqian's face fell. He quickly removed the bandages on his body, glanced at his fiancé, Han De, and said, "Han De, I didn't do anything in this shooting case. The current situation is too fake. I can't stand it."

Han De was stunned for a moment, and then his face became cold and serious. He looked at Xiao Ziqian and said, "This is the decision jointly made by the Public Relations Department and the Public Security Bureau. You can't stand it. There will be reporters interview tomorrow. You'd better not make any mistakes."

"You... Han De, how can you do this? You, you're not like this before." Xiao Zi shouted in a sobbing tone.

Han De's face changed, and he turned to Xiao Ziqian. With a look of madness and ferocity on his face, he said, "I didn't do it for you, but this time, the great credit fell on you. You, a small reporter, jumped directly to become the big hero of Nan'an City. Isn't that good?"

"With such a fake title of hero on my head, I will feel uneasy!" Xiao Ziqian roared, "The real hero is the young man. He killed the gangster, rescued the hostage, and even blocked a shot for me."

Hearing this, Han De's tone suddenly rose and he shouted, "That man, he blocked the bullet for you. Are you moved or moved? How dare you mention other men in front of me? You are Han De's fiancee. How dare you fall in love with other men? You are a bad woman."

"No, I don't think that way, you..." Xiao Ziqian tried to defend himself.

"Slap!" With a slap, Han De's big hand heavily slapped Xiao Ziqian's face.

"You, you actually hit me!" Xiao Ziqian sat on the bed in a daze. He was completely stunned.

Han De snorted coldly and said, "You're Han De's fiancée, so don't think about other men in the future. Also, you damn reporter, you don't have to be a reporter, and you don't have to go out and flirt with other men."

"Half a year later, listen to my mother. After we get married, you will stay at home and serve my mother and our children in the future," Han De said.

"No, I won't!"

Xiao Ziqian shouted, but Han De didn't care. He directly slammed the door and walked out of the ward.

Sitting on the bed, silent tears rolled down Xiao Zi's tender face. She didn't understand why Han De became like this. She was ten years old. He used to take care of her and pursue her carefully. How could he become the current stubbornness, stubbornness, and even perverted male chauvinist?

The former Han De was mature, refined, gentle and handsome. But since he announced the engagement with her, Xiao Ziqian found that this man had changed and he no longer looked like the man she knew.

He became cold and selfish. He became stubborn and biased. He regarded himself as everything to him. He did not allow her to contact other men, to go out at will, or even ask her to quit the job of a reporter. He focused on being a housewife at home.

Xiao Ziqian had thought that this was just a temporary disagreement and that the relationship between the two of them would be restored to its original state. But until now, she had finally become clear-headed. She finally understood. It was not that Han De had changed, but that he was such a person. When he pursued her, everything he had done was just a cover-up. But now, in less than a few months after their marriage, he had finally revealed his true nature. An extremely selfish, stubborn, and stubborn pervert!

When he thought that he was going to be treated like a doll by this pervert and cut off his future life, Xiao Ziqian felt his vision turn gray and his future turn dark. The whole world seemed to collapse at this moment.

But just as Xiao Ziqian was about to be disheartened, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind. It was a figure covered in blood, a body that was extremely weak. At the most critical moment, he crazily turned around with her in his arms and used his broken body to block the bullet that was flying towards him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ziqian burst into tears, and an unprecedented excitement and heat suddenly rose in her heart. She madly ripped off all the decorative bandages on her body, put on a casual suit, and walked out of the ward. As soon as he came out, a man in black, who looked like a bodyguard at the door, came over and asked in a cold voice, "Reporter Xiao, why did you come out?" Xiao Ziqian took a deep breath and said, "It's so stuffy in the ward. I'll come out for a walk."

"Then I'll go with you!" The black-coated bodyguard did his job very well.

"No need, I can do it myself!" Xiao Ziqian refused coldly and was about to leave.

But the black-coated bodyguard quickly followed up and said coldly, "I'm sorry, reporter Xiao. Director Han told us to follow you all the time and protect your safety." "Protect my safety?" Xiao Ziqian sneered. A sense of sorrow rose from the bottom of his heart. He strode out with vigorous strides. "If you want to follow me, then follow." The black-coated bodyguard followed him in silence.

In the corridor, Xiao Ziqian stopped a nurse and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask, which ward is the man who was sent to the hospital with me now?"

Xiao Ziqian was now a big hero in Nan'an City. The nurse naturally knew her and also knew about the shooting case. She quickly understood that Xiao Ziqian was asking Zachary, so she said, "Oh, reporter Xiao is talking about the suspect surnamed Qin, right?"

"What? A suspect?" Xiao Ziqian was shocked with his eyes wide open. He held the young nurse's shoulder tightly with both hands and questioned her.

Seeing the reporter acting like this, the nurse was so scared that she screamed. She stepped back and said with fear, "I don't know, but other people said so."

"Which ward is he in!" Xiao Ziqian's heart was filled with anxiety as he hurriedly asked.

"Ps room 103," the little nurse answered in horror.

Xiao Ziqian immediately ran downstairs and ran all the way to the door of the 103 ward. Xiao Ziqian patted his chest that was rising and falling rapidly and calmed down a little. He tidied his hair against the smooth door, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the door open.

This was a ward with more than a dozen people, and some surgical patients lived inside. The smell of crowded people and various medicines and excretions made Xiao Ziqian frown, but she still glanced at them and walked inside. Seeing a beautiful woman coming in, those hooligans who had been trapped in the fight couldn't help but whistle at Xiao Ziqian. Those who were bold enough simply flirted with him without thinking. "Beauty, come and see me!"

"Beauty, I'm here!"

"Hey, isn't this Hero Xiao? Why did you come to our shabby ward?"

...

Xiao Ziqian ignored their words and walked into the innermost room of the ward with a frown. Finally, he saw Zachary, who was lying on the hospital bed.

Zachary's face was a little pale at this time, and his slightly long hair was gently covered on his forehead. His determined eyes were gently closed, and his thin face looked resolute and haggard.

On the side of the bed, a corner of the bandaged belly without a cover was exposed, and faint bloodstains on the bandage could be vaguely seen.

Seeing this, Xiao Ziqian felt the corner of his eye was a little bitter. His tears were like uncontrollable water locks, silently sliding down her white and beautiful face.

She quietly walked to the side of the bed, carefully covered the quilt for Zachary. She sat at the bedside and looked at the face that gradually left a mark in her mind. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up, letting the tears fall down on her face.

"Ah! You are awake!" Suddenly, Zachary opened his eyes. Xiao Ziqian quickly stood up and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of his hand. However, the tear stains on her pretty face made her less coquettish like a journalist, but more gentle like a little girl.

"Well!" Zachary nodded slightly and smiled faintly. In fact, he was not sleeping at all. He was just closing his eyes and secretly recuperating his body.

The pain brought to him by the cross-dart was more severe than he had imagined. Because of the poison of the cross-dart, Zachary still could not operate the smell of herbs until now, and his body recovered much slower than before. Right now, he could only force out strand after strand of Hundred-grass Breath from his dantian to wrap around the pale green poison in his body, and then it was worn down bit by bit.

The process was slow, but fortunately, there were not many toxins that had entered Zachary's body. Now Zachary only had about one-third of the toxins left in his body.

Seeing the gentle smile on Zachary's face, Xiao Ziqian didn't know why, but he felt a pain in his heart and his eyes were a little dry. "My name is Xiao Ziqian. I'm a reporter from the 'Nanan An Wanwan UNDAF'. I came here to thank you. Thank you for saving me at that time."

Zachary's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "No wonder the woman didn't forget to take pictures even under those circumstances. It turned out to be the reporters' occupational disease!"

He nodded gently and said softly, "It's all right. It's just my duty." Zachary was now a member of the night wolf. He was a soldier who saved ordinary people. He really thought it was his duty. "It's your duty! You, you are so seriously injured, I..." Xiao Ziqian, who had always been a sharp-tongued celebrity, didn't know what to say at the moment.

Zachary's face turned pale, and he said softly, "It's just a minor injury!"

"It's just a minor injury. All of them were shot through by a bullet, but it's still a minor injury." Xiao Ziqian seemed to be a little excited.

Zachary smiled and didn't say anything.

"Thank you for saving my life. If there's anything you need help with in the future, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you," Xiao Ziqian said firmly. "Okay." Zachary nodded.

Xiao Ziqian kept silent for a while. He didn't know how to continue the conversation, but she seemed to be reluctant to leave like this, so she just sat quietly on the edge of Zachary's bed. The black-coated bodyguard, who had been following behind them, silently recorded the scene at this moment, recording Xiao Ziqian's words and deeds.

Chapter 424

Chapter 424

The silent silence was broken with a "bang" sound.

The door of the ward was pushed open heavily, and a group of fully armed policemen came in. They walked straight toward Zachary's bed without any expression.

Seeing Xiao Ziqian sitting beside Zachary, the policeman who came in was slightly shocked. After nodding to Xiao Ziqian, he took out a certificate from his arms and shook it in front of Zachary. Then two strong men came forward and pressed Zachary on the bed, skillfully handcuffed him, picked him up and walked out.

At this moment, the toxins in Zachary's body had not been cleared, plus the injuries on his body, he could not resist the arrest of the police at all.

Xiao Ziqian was slightly stunned. Seeing that Zachary was brought to the door of the ward by the police, he suddenly became anxious and shouted, "What are you doing?"

One of the policemen, who took the lead, turned around, saluted Xiao Zizhao and said in a stern voice, "Reporter Xiao, Mayor Li and Director Hu have already issued a detention order to Zachary because they are involved in the robbery case of Jin Keli shopping mall." After that, the policeman turned around and left.

Xiao Ziqian panicked and quickly stepped forward. He wanted to stop him, but the black-dressed bodyguard's body moved slightly and blocked Xiao Ziqian's path. "Reporter Xiao, please don't be impulsive."

"Out of the way!" Xiao Ziqian roared angrily.

However, the black-coated bodyguard did not move at all. Looking at Zachary, who had been taken out of the corridor, Xiao Ziwan felt a different kind of anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth fiercely, and then shyly went upstairs. After rushing to the ward, she immediately picked up the phone and dialed several numbers in a row.

"Chief Editor Wang, yes, I'm Xiao Xiao! I have a piece of news on my side that is of great value in news. I would like to invite you to hurry over immediately. The news is like this..."

"Chief Editor Wang, is this really not good? This news will definitely attract the attention of all the people and become a major event. It's also a good thing to sell our press and magazines!" Xiao Ziqian persuaded as he listened to the Chief Adviser Wang's rejection.

However, what responded to her was a long sigh. "Xiao Xiao, you've already done this for four or five years, right? There are some news, even if it is extremely valuable news, but it can't be randomly released. This piece of news, I can't do anything about it." After speaking, Chef Wang directly hung up the phone.

Xiao Ziqian sighed helplessly and made another phone call. A moment later, however, he received yet another direct refusal.

Another phone call was rejected again.

...

In this way, the cycle repeated again and again.

At this time, Zachary was taken out of the hospital with torture and was directly pushed into the police car. After a roar, the police car went straight to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

When they arrived at the Municipal Bureau, a strong policeman pulled Zachary out of the police car and pushed him all the way to the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Li Yan, who was reclining on a chair, looked at Zachary, who was sitting opposite him with a proud face at this moment. Behind Li Yan stood a police officer, who was in his forties or fifties. From the looks of it, he should be an old member of the police station.

Zachary twisted his body. The cuffs on his back were tightly secured, and there were two red marks on his wrists. He felt very uncomfortable.

There were no windows in the interrogation room, so the light was very dim. There was only a small lamp on the interrogation table. Li Yan sneered and waved to the outside.

The policeman standing on the other side immediately pressed a switch. Suddenly, above the iron chair of Qin Haodong, the light bulbs of more than a hundred tiles emitted a bright light, and a clear heat wave came, which made Qin Zihuan's eyes dizzy and couldn't open his eyes.

"Say, why hold hostages?" Li Yan shouted loudly. The deafening sound made Zachary's head buzz again and he felt dizzy.

Zachary didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the old policeman behind him and said, "If I'm not wrong, Li Yan is not a policeman. He is not qualified to interrogate me."

"Hmph, I don't have the right!" Li Yan laughed arrogantly. "In Nan'an City, there are things that I, Li Yan, don't have the right to do?"

The old policeman behind him frowned and shouted at Zachary, "Answer it as you wish. Don't talk too much."

"Why did you kidnap the hostage? What's your purpose?" Li Yan asked again.

"I didn't take hostage. I went to save her." Zachary glared at Li Yan and said slowly.

"You are still quibbling! You are a criminal. The four of you planned to hold Zhu Fuming hostage, Doctor Zhu. Later, your accomplice was surrounded due to the incident being revealed. You changed your mind. In the name of saving people, you charged into the mall and killed one of your accomplice to silence him."

"Do you think we don't know these things? I'm telling you, we've already known your situation. Now I'm giving you one last chance. Be honest and obey strict!" Li Yan fiercely patted the iron table and roared. It seemed that he had learned some skills of interrogation.

"Really? Then show me what you know!" Zachary looked at Li Yan coldly as if he was looking at a clown. He sneered.

"You!" Li Yan was so angry that he patted the table.

The old policeman stood up at this time and patted Li Yan's shoulder slightly. With a faint smile on his face, he slowly walked to Zachary and said, "Don't think that we can't do anything to you if you don't tell us. We have plenty of evidence at hand."

"Of course you have! It's just to find some evidence. Isn't that what you are good at?" Zachary glanced at the old policeman and sneered.

The old policeman was not angry. His fingers tapped lightly on the table and said lightly, "Don't think that we don't know your background. You have an unclean base in the provincial capital. What's your purpose for holding guns this time?" At the end of his words, the old policeman's tone suddenly rose sharply and he suddenly asked.

This was the skill of interrogation. At first, it was like a spring breeze, then it changed suddenly. If you were caught off guard, you might really be blown up by this.

However, Zachary's psychological quality was so good that he would not fall for such tricks. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at the two people in front of him and leaned back on the iron chair as if he didn't care about them. He sneered and asked, "Don't you know that? Why do you ask me that?"

"Humph, don't be so stubborn. Do you think we don't know your situation? In the provincial capital, we gather people to make trouble, fight with each other, deliberately hurt people, and failed the murder, not to mention holding the spear this time. You can be offended by any one of them. We are giving you a chance to confess. Don't you know how to cherish it?" Li Yan suddenly shouted.

"Since the crimes have been laid out, how can I interrogate him? Kill me directly!" Zachary glanced at Li Yan coldly, with no fear in his heart.

"You, don't be ungrateful!" Li Yan was angry. He stood up and reached out to slap Zachary.

Zachary's body moved and didn't move to the side completely, but he was also patted on his shoulder by Li Yan's palm.

His body was extremely tough. Under this kind of palm attack, Li Yan did not cause any harm to Zachary. Instead, his palm felt numb and extremely painful.

"If you dare to trick me, do you think I won't dare to do it to you? Believe it or not, I won't have any problem even if I kill you here." Li Yan was stunned by anger. He couldn't care about the situation and banged the table and roared.

"If you have the ability, you can have a try!" Zachary was also angry. He glared at Li Yan with a pair of angry eyes and suddenly emitted a strong momentum, which made all the people in the interrogation room feel cold. "Damn, I'll kill you." Li Yan was really angry. He got up and picked up a steel pipe in the corner, and walked to Zachary fiercely.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

A steel pipe directly hit Zachary's back. Although Zachary's head responded, the poison had not been removed at this time, and his body could not keep up with the reaction speed of his head. He couldn't avoid it at all, so he was hit hard by the pipe.

The steel pipe hit heavily on Zachary's back, splitting the wound. Blood oozed from the wound and dyed Zachary's clothes red.

"Aren't you very arrogant? Try again!"

Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5s.org to catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now!

Another steel pipe fell down, and this time it hit the left side of Zachary's body, where there was also a gunshot wound.

"Boom, boom!"

After a few consecutive steel pipes, the wounds on Zachary's body had all cracked open, and his whole body was covered with blood. He had completely turned into a bloody man.

The pain was so intense that Zachary's face was constantly distorted and twisted, which made him look very strange.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

As soon as Zachary was hit by the steel pipe, he fell to the ground and his body began to twitch slightly.

Li Yan still wanted to fight and continue, but the old policeman saw that the situation was a little serious. He was worried that Li Yan might really kill Zachary by accident. If that was the case, he would be in some trouble.

So he quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Yan, saying, "Young Master Lee, don't be impulsive. Killing such a person is to make trouble for us."

Li Yan snorted and shouted again, "Tell me, why are you holding a spear? And who are your accomplices?"

However, Zachary did not say a word. With his eyes closed, he curled up on the ground and began to tremble slightly.

At this moment, Zachary was rapidly mobilizing the aura of various herbs in his Dantian, and madly wearing away the last bit of the poison.

Seeing that Zachary didn't answer, Li Yan snorted, kicked at Zachary's abdomen, and shouted, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll kick you to death!"

At the same time, the last bit of light green poison in Zachary's body was wiped out by the smell of herbs.

In the blink of an eye, Zachary felt his body grow lighter. The aura of a hundred plants in his dantian began to flow through his limbs and bones, quickly healing his internal injuries.

In less than two seconds, except for the three gunshot wounds that had not completely recovered, Zachary felt that his body had recovered and he was full of strength.

With a kick, Zachary put forth his strength, and the cuffs were broken directly with a click. Then he got up to fight back.

In that instant, Zachary's entire body's aura changed. It was as if a god of death appeared in this world, a war god reborn!

Chapter 425

Li Yan's foot, which was originally extremely fierce, suddenly seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier in the air, and his whole body slowed down.

Then, he watched Zachary stand up, punch and bombard, and accurately hit the bridge of Li Yan's nose.

With a painful wail, Li Yan covered his nose, which was constantly spurting blood, and retreated in great pain. His face was full of incredible expression.

When the old policeman saw this, he quickly stepped forward and blocked Li Yan behind him. He picked up the steel pipe that Li Yan put down and swung it hard. Suddenly, there was a whirring wind, whistling. The target was Zachary's head. Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Zachary's eyes, showing a trace of anger. The old policeman seemed to be calm, but when he moved, he was much more fierce than Li Yan, a playboy.

If his head was hit by this heavy blow, his head might be directly smashed, or even be killed.

Zachary's heart was filled with anger. He snorted and did not dodge. Instead, he punched at the steel pipe. The aura of herbs covered his fist and hit the steel pipe accurately. "Boom!" "Boom!"

With a loud sound, the hard fist just collided with the steel pipe, but to everyone's surprise, it was the steel pipe as thick as a wrist, and Zachary was completely unscathed. Seeing this scene, the old policeman could not help but be stunned. He quickly took a few steps back and wanted to dodge Zachary's attack first.

But at this moment, Zachary, who had recovered his fighting ability, could not let an ordinary policeman escape his attack. Without any fancy tricks, he slammed on the old policeman's abdomen, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and saliva. His face changed and he curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp.

The old policeman was knocked down, and the remaining Li Yan was trembling with fear. As he dodged, he shouted, "Help! Someone's been killed. Zachary is killing someone. Come and save me!"

In the narrow interrogation room, no matter how Li Yan dodged, he could not escape from Zachary's pursuit. Even without increasing his speed, Zachary punched out and accurately hit Li Yan's nose, which smashed his face into a bloody mess and made him fall to the ground.

Then Zachary stepped forward coldly, stepped on his chest, and said in a cold voice, "You were pretty fierce just now, weren't you? Why did you run all the way until now?"

"You, you don't dare to hit me. My dad, my dad is the deputy mayor. If you hit me, my dad..." Before Li Yan could finish his sentence, Zachary frowned and stepped directly on Li Yan's wrist. "Crack!" Then a burst of miserable howling was heard. Li Yan's right hand was completely useless.

"Do you still want to show your father?" Zachary looked at Li Yan coldly.

Li Yan screamed in pain and wanted to roll on the ground, but Zachary stepped on his chest and couldn't move at all.

"I, I don't dare. I was wrong. Please spare me." Li Yan begged for mercy.

"You don't dare!" Zachary snorted and said, "If I didn't have that strength, I'm afraid you would have beaten me to death just now. Now that I've become stronger, you won't dare to do that. You just admit that you've miscalculated and even tried to think that I would spare your life. Do you think that's possible?"

"Spare me, spare me!" At the moment, Li Yan's consciousness has become somewhat blurred because of the intense pain.

"Ka Chak!"

"Ah!" With another scream, Li Yan's left hand was also broken. The strong pain almost made him faint, but every time at the critical moment, Zachary stepped on the foot of his chest, which made him wake up from the edge of dizziness. "What, what do you want to do on earth?" Li Yan's breath was already more and more, and his breath was less.

At this moment, "Bang", the door of the interrogation room was pushed open heavily. Four fully armed special police officers rushed in with serious faces. With one hand holding the shield, and the other with submachine guns, the special police officers protected a fat middle-aged man in the middle.

That person was really Li Yan's father, Li Bo, the deputy mayor of Nan'an City.

Seeing his father coming in, Li Yan seemed to see a life-saving straw and shouted, "Dad, help me, dad, I'm dying!"

Looking at his son, whose hands were both crippled, Li Bo felt a surge of anger in his heart. He shouted at Zachary, "Zachary, that's enough. Why don't you give up?"

Zachary sneered and looked at Li Bo, saying, "Mayor Li, do you think this is enough? I think it is far from enough!"

As he spoke, there was another clicking sound, and Zachary also disabled Li Yan's right leg.

"You!" Li Bo felt angry and wronged when he saw his son's right leg was disabled in front of him. He shouted at Zachary, "What the hell are you going to do?"

"I should be the one asking you," Zachary said coldly, "I would like to ask you, Deputy Mayor Li, what do you think? I rushed into the mall, killed the gangster, rescued the hostage, and got myself seriously injured. But you didn't treat me well, instead, you made me an accusation to interrogate me. I want to ask, what do you want to do? Do you want me to die?"

In the face of Zachary's questioning, at this moment, although Li Bo was angry, he did not dare to provoke Zachary. He was afraid that Zachary would make an overreaction, so he lowered his voice and said, "This is a misunderstanding. It's just a misunderstanding. We just bring you here for a normal inquiry. After all, you are the witness of this shooting incident."

"Misunderstanding?" Zachary sneered and said, "Deputy Mayor Li, your excuse is too inconsiderate. If I hadn't recovered just now, I'm afraid that I would have been beaten to disability by your son with a steel pipe. You should say it's a normal inquiry. If so, I don't mind experimenting on your son."

While speaking, Zachary moved his right foot, stepped on Li Yan's last left foot, and stepped hard. Suddenly, there was another clicking sound, and Li Yan's limbs were all broken.

Watching his son suffer such great pain, Li Bo felt that his teeth were almost broken. He stared at Zachary and shouted with almost all his strength, "Zachary, I know that Yan'er's behavior is a little inappropriate, but don't go too far." "You've really reached the double standard!" Zachary sneered and said, "It's only inappropriate for your son to cripple me or even kill me. Now I'm going to cripple your son, but you're saying that I'm going too far. What if I want to kill him?" "How dare you?" Li Bo shouted and the blue veins on his forehead popped out. At the same time, he made a shooting gesture to the four special police.

"Zachary, I'll give you one last chance to choose. Submit immediately, or I have the right to let them shoot you." Li Bo shouted loudly.

"Right?" Zachary sneered and said, "Deputy Mayor Li, at this time, you still don't forget to find some so-called fairness for your actions. It seems that your son is just so-so in your heart. In that case, I will crush something to play with." "You!" Li Bo shouted.

However, Zachary kicked at the space between Li Yan's legs.

"Stop!" Li Bo's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

But with a burst of sound, Li Yan completely passed out in pain. Li Bo felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart. He pointed at Zachary and shouted to the special police, "Kill him! Kill him!"

The four special police bullets were reloaded and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A continuous stream of bullets came at Zachary. In the narrow interrogation room, Zachary's escape routes were almost blocked, and there was no way for him to escape. However, at this moment, a layer of very faint light flashed on Zachary's body, and then he moved very fast to attack Li Bo, who was under special police's protection.

Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5s.org to catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now!

The bullet landed on Zachary's body with a whoosh and landed on the ground. It did not even hurt a single hair on his body.

Seeing this scene, Li Bo was shocked and dumbfounded. He said, "How, how is this possible? A bullet can't pierce through you. Are you... are you still human?" With a cold smile, Zachary had already penetrated the special police's defense. He grabbed Li Bo's throat and said coldly, "Do you think I am a human?"

"You, you're not a human! You're a demon!" Li Bo was already scared out of his wits. He was actually still spouting nonsense.

Zachary grinned like a smile on a demon's face, and then he began to exert his strength on his palm.

Immediately, a sense of contraction hit Li Bo. Li Bo felt that there seemed to be an iron ring around his neck that was shrinking and shrinking. It was going to break his throat bit by bit. The accumulated pain made the fear in his heart multiply. Li Bo couldn't help but tremble. His body swayed constantly and his eyes began to roll. Zachary snorted, released his hand, and threw Li Bo on the ground.

Li Bo immediately gasped heavily, and there was a purple-red mark on his neck, like the deadly breath left by the demon's Death Sickle.

"Hum!" Zachary didn't want to argue with them anymore. He directly shook his hands and walked out of the interrogation room. His eyes fell on the trembling Hu Tianfu at the door. "Director Hu, are you standing here and trying to stop me?" At this moment, Hu Tianfu did not dare to stop Zachary. He waved his hand and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

However, he had a quick mind. He hurriedly found an excuse and said, "I'm here to help Mr. Ching with the formalities. When Mr. Ching came in, he had already completed the formalities. When he goes out now, he must also go through the formalities. Otherwise, it will have a bad impact on Mr. Ching's reputation."

"Er!" Zachary snorted.

Hu Tianyou's forehead was instantly drenched in sweat. He ran away in a hurry and said, "Mr. Ching, I'll fetch the procedures for you right away. It will be done very quickly, very quickly." Zachary nodded slightly and agreed. After all, he didn't want to leave a bad record in the police station's files.

Hu Tianfu felt relieved as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly bowed and set off.

At this moment, a cold snort came from outside. "The police station is a government department. Who dares to behave atrociously here? I think it's a good idea to kill him directly!"

Chapter 425

Chapter 426

Chapter 426

Following the voice, Zachary saw a middle-aged man with a square face walking in front of him. At this moment, the man was looking at Zachary with anger on his face. Hu Tianfu's face changed when he saw the man. He rushed to him and asked, "Secretary Duan, why are you here?"

Duan Jianguo snorted heavily, and his eyes fell on Zachary. He said coldly, "If I don't come again, the Public Security Bureau in Nan'an City will be demolished by someone." Hu Tianyou felt a headache coming, but he did not know what to do.

Zachary, however, frowned. He had already guessed that since this Secretary Duan could make Hu Tianfu so concerned about him, there was only one possibility, which was Duan Jianguo, the secretary of the municipal party committee in Nan'an City.

Zachary didn't want to cause more trouble for the head of Nan'an City, so he said to Hu Tianfu, "Director Hu, aren't you going to go through the formalities for me? Please hurry up. I have something to do."

Hu Tianyou was stunned and did not move yet.

Duan Jianguo next to him said coldly, "Director Hu, you are the director of Nan'an Public Security Bureau. When did you want to listen to a suspect?"

Hu Tianhao was sweating profusely. He stood there and didn't know what to do. At the moment, he really didn't know what to do. One of them was the leader who could fire him, and the other was the killing god who could kill him. Hu Tianhao felt like his head was going to explode when he was caught between the two sides.

Fortunately, at this time, Zachary opened his mouth and said to Duan Jianguo, "I am not a criminal, nor a suspect."

"That's not up to you to decide!" Duan Jianguo coldly glared at Zachary. "I'll give you a chance now. Go in and close the door yourself, otherwise, humph..."

Hearing this, Zachary got angry and said in a cold voice, "I have no reason to enter again."

Duan Jianguo frowned and said, "He injured public security personnel for no reason, and even military officers of Nan'an City. Isn't that a reason?"

Duan Jianguo's gaze fell on Li Bo, Li Yan and his son, who had just been helped out.

Zachary immediately sneered and said, "Secretary Duan, what you said is too ridiculous. If I was caught for no reason, I'll cooperate with the investigation. However, the Nan'an Public Security Bureau sent a director and a deputy mayor of the personnel bureau to interrogate me, and then tortured me by means of torture."

"Then you can't hit him! Besides, it's hard to tell whether he will be tortured or not." Duan Jianguo shouted.

"I can't hit them! Then, I ask Secretary Duan, what should I do? I was beaten to disability by them, then signed the confession and ended up in jail, which was in line with your wishes, Secretary Duan." Zachary was so angry that he laughed. Hearing this, Duan Jianguo couldn't help but frown at this moment. The reason why he appeared here at this moment was also a coincidence. When passing by this place, he came over to have a look.

However, as soon as he walked into the police station, he saw chickens flying and dogs jumping in the room. He heard that a prisoner had beaten Li Yan, Li Bo and his son, and the police.

Suddenly, Duan Jianguo, as the head of Nan'an City, was angry. He beat government officials in his territory. Wasn't that a slap in his face?

Besides, he and Li Bo, the secretary of the municipal party committee, were colleagues, so he would naturally be partial to him.

As a result, he didn't expect that the prisoner was so arrogant and tough, and it seemed to involve the confession by torture. Moreover, the higher-ups paid great attention to the shooting case. In this case, things would be a little troublesome. At this moment, a burst of noise came, and then more than a dozen reporters came in with cameras and microphones. Among them, the leader was the anxious female reporter Xiao Ziqian.

Just now, after Xiao Ziqian saw Zachary being taken away, he almost used all his connections. Finally, he invited several media reporters and magazines to quickly rush over here to report that Zachary was caught. At the same time, it was also a kind of help for Zachary.

As soon as Xiao Ziqian walked in, he saw Zachary, who was surrounded by the police, standing there. Instantly, he felt a lump in his throat and his eyes became a little hot.

However, after many years of professional practice, she still controlled her emotions. She quickly walked to Hu Tianfu and asked calmly, "Hello, Director Hu. I am Xiao Ziqian, a reporter of 'Nan'an Night Report'. We came here this time to interview the reporter, Zachary, who was arrested in the shooting case. I want to hear your explanation of this matter."

Hu Tianyuan, of course, knew Xiao Ziqian. Usually, he met her and asked her to interview him. Of course, he had to give her face.

But now, he didn't dare to say much. He coughed twice and cast his eyes on Duan Jianguo.

Duan Jianguo also turned his head to look at Xiao Ziqian. He naturally knew Xiao Ziqian as well. It could even be said that he had a very deep relationship with Xiao Ziqian.

That was because Duan Jianguo was a subordinate promoted by Xiao Ziqian's fiance, Han De's father. Even now, Mr. Han passed away. Every year on New Year's Day, Duan Jianguo had to go to the Han family to greet Han's mother.

But at this time, Han De's fiancee came to participate in this mess. This made Duan Jianguo a little unhappy. He frowned slightly and then said to Hu Tianfu, "Bring him in first. As for whether he is innocent or not, investigate it carefully." After that, Duan Jianguo wanted to leave.

But when Zachary heard this, he pushed away the two policemen beside him and shouted coldly, "I don't have any guilt. Why do you keep me locked up?"

"It is the duty of the citizen to cooperate with the police investigation." Duan Jianguo frowned. In front of the reporters, he could not speak like he did just now.

Zachary said coldly, "When I was in the hospital, I had given the relevant transcripts to the police. My duty has been completed. What do you mean by still putting me in charge?"

After being contradicted one after another, Duan Jianguo felt a little embarrassed. He frowned and said, "Because you are the criminal suspect of shooting, naturally, you should be investigated by the police."

As soon as Zachary said this, Xiao Ziqian said, "That's impossible. Zachary was a hero who did what was righteous. I was there right away."

Hearing Xiao Ziqian's words, many reporters present were also a little surprised. Because on these days, the media had always shaped Xiao Ziqian into a big hero in the shooting case. But now, Xiao Ziqian said that Zachary was the hero, so the inside story was worth pondering.

Hearing this, Duan Jianguo's brows locked tightly.

Zachary also sneered and said, "Secretary Duan said that I am a criminal suspect. Then I would like to ask, how did I become a criminal suspect? Did you have enough evidence to prove it, or did you decide it with a simple opening of your mouth?"

As soon as he said that, many reporters present also turned on their recording brushes and cameras, ready to make recording.

"Of course we have evidence. Director Hu, show him the evidence." Duan Jianguo said to Hu Tianfu.

Hu Tianfu suddenly sweated. He faltered and said, "The evidence. If it's the evidence, maybe..."

"Director Hu, what do you want to say? You'd better say that you don't have any evidence!" Zachary said coldly.

Seeing this, Duan Jianguo frowned and said, "Say it!"

Hu Tianfu wiped the sweat from his forehead, shouted at Li Bo, who was paralyzed on the ground, and said, "About the case, we were having an internal meeting under the guidance of Deputy Mayor Li. We found that in that case at that time, Zachary's against-the-table behavior was very abnormal."

"For this doubt, we have internal discussions. Some comrades believed that Zachary's act of rebellion was to go to the righteous and help the hostages who were held hostage. Deputy Mayor Li thought that Zachary's action was very abnormal and suspected that he was one of the accomplices of the gangster. The reason why he went against Zachary was that his accomplice was exposed, so he pretended to be righteous and went to help his accomplice."

"This, this is too ridiculous. If he does what is righteous, he will suspect that he is a gangster." Xiao Ziqian said to the reporters.

Hu Tianhe quickly explained, "Deputy Mayor Li also caught several doubtful points. First, Zachary deliberately avoided the policemen in the mall at that time and smashed the stairs of the fire passageway upstairs. Instead, in order to save himself, he had conflict with his accomplices and finally killed them."

Hearing this, Zachary sneered and said, "Secretary Duan, you've also heard it. This so-called evidence is just someone's speculation. In the future, if the case is solved by the Nan'an City police station, can a leader be arrested by his own speculation?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ziqian was filled with righteous indignation and said, "Director Hu, Secretary Duan, what do you have to explain about the fact that Zachary was arrested by the police station this time?"

"This kind of individual and subjective inference, without any genuine argument, directly arrest people. I want to ask, is this behavior in line with the operation standards of the police station?" "Director Hu, do you admit that your police acts are illegal?"

...

At this moment, even Duan Jianguo felt a little troubled. He had just happened to come in and bumped into Zachary beating people, but he was so angry that he reprimanded him. However, to his surprise, the father and son of the Lee family were also involved. Obviously, the father and son of the Lee family were here to take revenge on Zachary.

Thinking of this, Duan Jianguo could not help but hum. Without saying a word, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zachary said coldly, "Secretary Duan, why did you leave? Don't you lock me up?"

Duan Jianguo said with a gloomy face, "As for your business, Director Hu will carry out a detailed and detailed investigation. We will not wrong any good man."

"Really?" Zachary said coldly, then pointed to Li Bo and Li Yan and said, "Then I want to ask Secretary Duan, how will Secretary Duan deal with the production of Li Bo and Li Yan? If Nan'an City can't deal with it, I don't mind bringing it up to the higher-ups."

Hearing this, Duan Jianguo frowned and felt more and more uncomfortable. Originally, the shooting case had already given him a lot of pressure.

If he reported the case of a government official committing a crime and suppressing the hero, he was afraid that he, as a secretary, would also be affected negatively.

Chapter 427

Chapter 427

Duan Jianguo looked at the reporters again and took a deep breath, saying, "Regarding the violation of Li Bo and Li Yan, I will inform the Discipline Commission and the public security team to conduct a joint investigation and give you a satisfactory answer."

After saying this, Duan Jianguo waved his hand and left with a gloomy face.

And at this moment, the focus of the scene suddenly fell on Hu Tianfu, and the reporters' questions rushed to him.

Hu Tianfu suddenly felt a headache. After racking his brains, he finally answered the journalists' questions.

In the end, the result was that he immediately exposed Zachary's identity as a criminal suspect and let him go back. However, he could not go home now, but preferred to stay in Nan'an City for a period of time to cooperate with the police's investigation into the shooting case.

At the same time, with the people of the Discipline Commission, Li Bo, Li Yan and his son, as well as the relevant police, were investigating the violation of the rules at the same time.

As for the specific case of shooting, including the identities of the three people, the matter was still under investigation.

Seeing Zachary coming out of the police station, Xiao Ziqian was very excited. He stepped forward and looked at Zachary with his mouth moving. He had a lot of words to say, but in the end, he only said three words, "I'm sorry!" Zachary still appreciated the female reporter in front of him. Moreover, she had helped him this time, so he smiled and said, "Reporter Xiao, how can you say sorry to me? I should thank you!"

Xiao Ziqian shook his head and said, "I should thank you, Zachary. When we were in the mall, you blocked bullets for me and saved my life, I..."

Speaking of blocking the bullets, Xiao Zi was choked with sobs. He seemed to think of the scene that Zachary was covered in blood and turned around with her in his arms.

For a moment, Xiao Ziqian felt that his heart had started to beat even more vigorously.

"Reporter Xiao, what's wrong?"

Zachary's voice brought the absent-minded Xiaozi back. Xiaozi said, "Zachary, I let you down this time. You are the hero doing what is righteous, but I replaced you. I..."

Zachary shook his head. Although he didn't know the details, he guessed it. Among the people who were saved at that time, Xiao Ziqian was more suitable than him to be a hero, so Xiao Ziqian was pushed out.

This was not something that reporters Xiao could control. Zachary waved his hand and said, "You don't have to apologize. I know your difficulties. Besides, I don't care about the reputation of a hero."

"That won't do. You can rest assured that I will issue a statement and report it to our newspaper if it's the truth of doing what is righteous." Xiao Ziqian said seriously.

Xiao Ziqian suddenly thought of something and his face turned slightly red. He turned to Zachary and said, "You, are you free tonight? I want to kiss you for dinner."

"Uh?" Zachary was a little surprised. After all, such a beautiful woman actually took the initiative to invite him to dinner.

When Xiao Ziqian saw this, he seemed to be afraid that Zachary might misunderstand him. He quickly explained, "I don't have any other intentions. I just want to apologize and thank you."

Zachary smiled and said, "I know. However, reporter Xiao, I'm very sorry. I'm a little tired today, and my friend is also worried about my situation. I'm going to tell them that I'm safe. If you have time, you can make an appointment tomorrow night."

Xiao Ziqian quickly said, "Of course I have time. Let's put it this way. I'll see you at Jiangjing Hotel tomorrow at 7 o'clock."

"Okay!" Zachary nodded and waved goodbye to Xiao Ziqian.

Instead of going back to the hotel directly, Zachary left the police station and rushed to the hospital. When he was taken to the police station by the police, his mobile phone and some small items were left in the hospital ward. He had to go back to get them now.

After taking the mobile phone from the hospital, Zachary turned it on and saw almost all the phone calls and text messages from Lauren and Qiao Xiaoxiao. It seemed that the two girls had not been crazy for more than one day. Zachary quickly called Lauren and told her that he was fine. Then he quickly rushed back to the hotel.

After coming back, Zachary simply told the two girls what had happened to him during that day. Hearing that, the two girls were both nervous and worried, especially after hearing that Zachary had been shot, Lauren was even more worried. She almost pulled out Zachary's clothes directly and checked him.

It was not until Zachary showed them that there was nothing wrong with his body, that the two girls finally felt relieved.

As Zachary had just detoxified the poison not long ago, his body was still in a bad state. After he went back to his room to take a bath, he began to meditate and rest.

Two hours later, Zachary opened his eyes and moved his body. He felt full of strength and his whole body became energetic.

After moving a bit, he sat down quietly and began to recall things in the mall bit by bit.

Because this time the robbery with a gun did not seem to be an ordinary robbery case. The skills of the three gangsters were enough to surprise Zachary. However, the poison on the cross dart that could seal the smell of herbs around him made Zachary shocked and curious.

"These people are definitely not ordinary people," Zachary thought to himself.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind and he seemed to have thought of something. He was almost certain after carefully recalling it.

The cross dart that he was stabbed was the same as the one that Qiao Xiaoxiao encountered when he was in Ludington City. And that man in black was from the Iron Dragon Triad.

"Are these people also from the Iron Dragon Society?" Zachary thought that if the three people were from the Iron Dragon Society, then it could be explained with their skills.

But there was one more thing that puzzled Zachary. Why did the three experts kidnap an old Chinese medicine doctor? Zachary really couldn't figure out why the old Chinese medicine doctor was so hard to deal with.

Therefore, he stopped thinking about it. Zachary picked up his phone and called Han Huihui to inform her of the matter at the Iron Dragon Triad. After all, Han Huihui and the others had been investigating the case of the Iron Dragon Triad. At the same time, in a window bedroom in a high-end villa area in Nan'an City, Xiao Ziqian was sitting in front of the computer with his eyes shining and typing quickly.

Suddenly, the door creaked, and the door opened. A person came in. It was Xiao Ziqian's fiance, Han De.

Xiao Ziqian turned his head and looked at Han De. He shouted, "I'm working" and then continued typing.

Han De didn't say a word and silently walked to Xiao Ziqian's side. Suddenly, he pressed down on Xiao Ziqian's keyboard with one hand and stopped her work.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ziqian frowned and asked discontentedly.

Han De snorted softly. After which, he placed his hand in front of Xiao Ziqian and coldly asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Ziqian looked down and saw the picture of him in the hospital on his cell phone. He was going to see Zachary's scene, but he was photographed by the bodyguards behind him.

"I'm going to visit Zachary. What's wrong?" Xiao Ziqian said lightly. He didn't take it seriously at all.

Just a heads up: FindNovel.net is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

But Han De's face turns grim and he shouts, "What's the matter with you? It seems that you don't even recognize your own mistake, and you ask me what's wrong with you?" "Wrong?" Xiao Ziqian was both angry and amused. "I took a look at my savior. What's wrong with that?"

"You still don't know what's wrong with you!" Han De roared. "Xiao Ziqian, you're my fiance. You're so close to this man, and you even went to see him alone. If this isn't a mistake, then what is it?"

Xiao Ziqian looked at Han De in disbelief and shouted, "Han De, what do you mean by that? Can't I be with another man just because I'm his fiancée? Besides, I'm just sitting on the edge of the bed and talking to him for a while. What's the matter?"

The veins on Han De's face stood out at this moment. He shouted, "We just talked for a while? If you talk for a while now, you may go to someone else's bed next time? You're a slut. We're all engaged, but you're still seducing other men." Being scolded by Han De, Xiao Ziqian's face fell and he shouted, "Han De, you, you are unreasonable. Zachary blocked bullets for me and saved my life. What's wrong with him if I go to visit him? Why do you have so many dirty ideas?" "My gosh? I think it's you, a whore! You said you saved his life. After you saw him in the hospital today, did you call the reporters and go to the Public Security Bureau for him? If you are not seducing a man, what is it?" Han De said with bloodshot eyes.

"I went to the police station because Han De was wronged. I'm going to find out the truth for him. Besides, I'm a reporter. What's wrong with finding out the truth?" Xiao Zizhao shouted.

"I wrapped you up as a great hero in Nan'an City. What are you telling me now to reveal the truth? Are you dissatisfied with me? You think that my fiance is not as good as the men outside!" Han De roared.

"Han De, you, how can you think so! I don't have so many messy thoughts at all. I just want to restore the truth of the matter so that the real hero won't be wronged." Xiao Ziqian felt that he could no longer communicate with the man in front of him.

"What a mess!" Han De glanced at the computer in front of Xiao Ziqian and said, "I think what you're writing now is a mess. Why are you writing these? Are you going to publish these articles to vindicate your man? Or are you going to use these articles to please him? Ah, answer me, you..."

Xiao Ziqian felt a wave of powerlessness welling up in his heart. He really didn't know when Han De had become so selfish and extreme.

Since their engagement, Han De almost regarded himself as a canary and raised himself in a cage. He could not go out, come into contact with any outside world, not to mention the men outside.

If it weren't for her fighting hard, she might not have been able to keep her job as a journalist and could only be helpless to be a canary.

Chapter 428

Chapter 428

But now, looking at the constantly roaring Han De and this fiancé that Xiao Ziqian no longer knew, Xiao Ziqian suddenly felt how terrifying he would be in this cage for the rest of his life. At this moment, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She couldn't marry such a man when she broke the engagement with the man in front of her.

As soon as this idea came out, it grew like wild grass immediately and became more and more prosperous, occupying her mind.

Han De was still roaring, questioning, and roaring.

Xiao Ziqian suddenly raised his head and looked at him. Without a hint of dodging, he said, "Han De, I want to get into an engagement with you. I won't marry you anymore."

His voice was not loud, but it was just like thunder when it entered Han De's ear. It instantly caused Han De's expression to become gloomy and frightening. It was extremely ugly. "What did you say?" Han De looked at Xiao Ziqian with an expression of disbelief.

Xiao Ziqian said firmly, "I said I'm not going to marry you. I'll move out now." Xiao Ziqian was already getting up and preparing to pack up his things.

However, Han De suddenly broke out and slapped Xiao Ziqian in the face.

Then he crazily picked up the laptop on Xiao Zi's table and smashed it on the ground. He glared at Xiao Ziqian with his scarlet eyes and shouted, "How dare you say that you're not a slut? You're a slut. You seduced a man outside, and now you're going to break off the engagement with me. Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Ziqian had already made up his mind. At this moment, he no longer had any thoughts of refuting Xiao Yan. This kind of man, no matter how he explained himself, he would not listen to him. This was because in Xiao Ziqian's heart, he was just a beautiful doll that was at his disposal. If he was even the slightest bit dissatisfied with Xiao Ziqian's intentions, Xiao Ziqian would fly into a rage.

"I won't get married! I've made up my mind!" Xiao Zizhao got up and went straight to his wardrobe, ready to pack up and leave.

But Han De rushed over and pressed Xiao Zi down on the bed. He roared with scarlet eyes, "If you want to get in touch with me, you can forget about it. You are a slut. Even if you get married, you can forget about hooking up with other men. You are mine, mine."

"Han De, let go of me." Xiao Ziqian tried his best to support Han De.

However, Han De seemed to have gone mad as he pressed down on Xiao Ziqian. At the same time, his hands began to frantically tear at Xiao Ziqian's clothes. His eyes were scarlet.

"You b*tch, I've been waiting for you for years, but you refused to give your virginity to me. Now, you want to leave me and hook up with men outside. Are you going to sacrifice yourself to them?"

"Then I'll take you now. You're mine. No one can take it away from me."

Han De had already ripped apart Xiao Ziqian's shirt, revealing a dazzling expanse of snow. Agitated by this dazzling expanse of snow, Han De's entire body was filled with blood as he bent over to bite Xiao Ziqian's chest.

Seeing that his clean body was about to be occupied by such a man, Xiao Ziqian's eyes burst into tears. He almost used up his last bit of strength and arched his leg hard.

However, Han De suddenly stopped and let out a painful howl. He turned over and fell on the bed. He covered his crotch with his hands and cried out in pain.

Seeing this, Xiao Ziqian quickly turned over and got up, taking his own leather bag. He did not care about anything else and opened the door to leave. She could no longer stay in this home.

But just as she opened the door, a figure appeared at the door of the room. It was an old woman with silver hair.

Seeing the old woman, Xiao Ziqian's face changed. His mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound. He continued to move forward and was about to leave.

But the old woman shouted, "Stop!" Immediately, two servants stopped Xiao Ziqian.

The old woman immediately looked into the room and saw her son rolling on the bed, in great pain. She suddenly shouted, "Wang Mah, hurry up, Fu De'er is going to see the doctor."

Soon, someone came to help Han De down. The old woman looked at Xiao Ziqian with a serious face and said, "Go inside. I'll talk to you."

Xiao Ziqian had no other choice but to go back to his room. Looking at the old man standing in front of the bed, he took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Han, I..."

"Don't say anything else. I'll tell you!" The old lady interrupted Xiao Ziqian. With a serious expression, she turned to Xiao Ziqian and said, "You're the daughter-in-law of my Han family. You're the daughter-in-law of the Han family. You have to know three obediences and four virtues. You have to be a woman. This is the most basic thing for a woman."

Hearing this, Xiao Ziqian frowned. "Madam Han, I..."

"Shut up! You're not allowed to interrupt an elder's speech. Don't you understand this rule?" The old woman once again bellowed, interrupting Xiao Ziqian's words.

"I've heard about the contradiction between you and De'er. He has been strict with you, but this is also because he likes you. His love for you is like this. Since you are already his woman, you should follow the woman's rules. You should know that as a woman, you should behave yourself and don't hang out with other women in the future. In the future, you should have no contact with those bad guys."

"And, after you get married, your job as a reporter must be dismissed. At this point, I don't allow you to have any room for negotiation. Our Han family stresses on orthodoxy and rules. Since you want to marry into our family, you have to abide by the rules."

"Therefore, I won't allow such a thing like today to happen again. As a woman, how dare you hurt your husband? That's unforgivable. According to the family rules of our Han family, you should kneel down and accept punishment." With a wave of the old lady's arm, a servant holding a vine walked in with a cold expression on his face.

Seeing that Xiao Ziqian had yet to kneel down, the old lady frowned unhappily and shouted, "Why aren't you kneeling down and receiving punishment?!"

Xiao Ziqian took a deep breath and looked at the old woman, saying, "Madam Han, I've already decided. I'm going to end the engagement with Han De. I'm not going to marry him."

"What did you say?!" The old woman's eyes narrowed, flashing like lightning. She stared fiercely at Xiao Ziqian and shouted, "You should reconsider your words."

Xiao Ziqian nodded his head firmly and said, "I've thought about it very carefully. Mrs. Han, to be honest, the so-called family rules and rules in your family are all old teachings and dregs of feudal society in my opinion." "How dare you slander the tradition of our Han family!" The old woman shouted sharply.

Xiao Ziqian, however, was unafraid and said, "Han... If you weren't Yang Yumei, I would have called you Aunt Yang."

"You are also a woman. Do you really think these so-called three obediences and four virtues and the doctrine of women are true love? You have lost your dignity in these teaching rules, and now you still want to use these things to trap me. I'm sorry, I can't be like you, and I don't want to be like you. So, I choose to leave. I want to break off the engagement," Xiao Ziqian said firmly.

"You won't be able to break off the engagement just because you want to!" The old lady, Yang Yumei, stared at Xiao Zi and mocked.

Xiao Ziqian said, "This so-called engagement doesn't have any effect in the law. If Aunty Yang insists on stopping it, I don't mind inviting the court to intervene in this matter."

"Really?" Yang Yumei's face suddenly changed, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Xiao Ziqian and said, "Are you sure you don't want to think about it carefully? You should know that your father's living conditions are the best."

"Father!" Xiao Ziqian's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips began to tremble slightly.

His father was originally a department director of the South City Education Bureau of Nan'an. He was also a moderate official. But a few years ago, his father suddenly broke out about corruption and bribery, and the result was found out by the Discipline Commission. Finally, he was sentenced to five years of imprisonment.

And at that time, Xiao Ziqian began to interact with Han De. At that time, Han De was gentle and mature. When Xiao Ziqian had just suffered a great blow to his father's affairs, he won her heart.

Later on, Han De also made use of the influence of the Han family and provided some benefits for Xiao Ziqian's father in the prison, making him live a better life.

But now, Yang Yumei suddenly brought it up to threaten her with her father.

Xiao Ziqian's face turned pale. He was stunned for a moment, but he still said firmly, "I believe in my father. Even if we don't have those welfare conditions and live in an ordinary cell, he will be able to make a good change in the prison." Yang Yumei smiled evilly and said, "It's not that simple to live in an ordinary cell. You know, in prison, there are always some prisoners who like to bully people, even if it's a matter of life and death. At that time, maybe, maybe..."

Xiao Ziqian didn't think that the other party would actually use his father's life to threaten her. Suddenly, she felt as if the heavens were spinning and the earth was spinning. It was as if her entire being had been struck by a heavy hammer on the head, causing her feeling that she had just escaped from the cage to be extinguished.

"My father, he..." Xiao Ziqian's face was deathly pale. He sat on the bed powerlessly, as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this, the corner of the old lady's mouth revealed a victorious smile as she said, "The engagement should be carried out according to the pre-arranged timing."

"Women like you don't deserve De'er now. But for the sake of my family's face, we have to get married. But after marriage, you don't deserve to be with the offspring of our family. I will find another outstanding woman to be pregnant with Han De's child."

"And your job and your relationship with them. I'll give you a week to cut off all contact with them, deal with all things, and then come back to prepare for marriage with peace of mind. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Ziqian was in a daze and didn't react at all.

"If you don't think about your father, you can't agree," the old woman said.

Xiao Ziqian's entire body trembled at the mention of his father, and he nodded helplessly.

Seeing that, the old woman turned around and left with satisfaction, leaving Xiao Ziqian sitting on the bed with listless eyes behind.

The world in the room was dark.

Chapter 429

Chapter 429

At 6:30 in the evening, Zachary came to the hotel in advance to invite Xiao Ziqian to have dinner with him.

Soon, it was seven o'clock, but Xiao Ziqian still had no one to see him. Zachary looked in the direction of the door and felt a little uneasy.

After another 15 minutes, Xiao Ziqian still did not appear. Zachary was already prepared to get up and leave.

At this moment, a figure came quickly and said to Zachary, "I'm sorry, I'm late!" Then the figure sat opposite Zachary.

Zachary took a closer look and confirmed that the person who came was Xiao Ziqian. However, Xiao Ziqian's outfit at this moment was completely different from before.

She put on a pair of long-sleeved trousers and wrapped herself up tightly. She even wore a pair of huge sunglasses on her face, almost covering half of her face.

"Have you ordered the dishes? What do you like to eat?" Xiao Ziqian picked up the menu and asked.

Zachary smiled and said, "There's no need. I've already ordered the dishes. Some of the main chefs in the store are cooking. Do you like it?"

Xiao Ziqian nodded and said, "The main course here isn't bad."

Soon, the dishes were served. Zachary and Xiao Ziqian began to eat, but Xiao Ziqian's words today seemed to be extraordinarily few. He almost ate all the time, and then he responded to Zachary from time to time. It seemed that he was totally different from yesterday's appearance.

Zachary felt that this meal was a bit strange. Looking at Xiao Ziqian, who was wearing sunglasses on the opposite side, Zachary couldn't help but laugh and said, "Reporter Xiao, you're wearing sunglasses while eating. Aren't you afraid that the food will be sent into your nose?"

Zachary's sudden words really scared Xiao Ziqian. As a result, the soup splashed on her face and her sunglasses.

Zachary handed over the tissue in a hurry. Xiao Ziqian took the tissue, took off the sunglasses and quickly wiped it off.

At this time, Zachary finally found something abnormal. Xiao Ziqian's face was red and swollen, and even his eyes were swollen.

Obviously, it was a sign of being beaten.

Suddenly, Zachary put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Reporter Xiao, what happened to your face?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xiao Ziqian was shocked and quickly said. Then he quickly put on his sunglasses.

Zachary's face turned serious and he said, "Reporter Xiao, it's already so red and swollen. It's not all right. Tell me, did someone hit you? If you want, I can help you."

Xiao Ziqian quickly waved his hand and said, "No one hit me. There's no need. There's no need to trouble me."

Without hitting people, Zachary took out a pair of silver needles and asked, "Reporter Xiao, I am a traditional Chinese doctor. If you want, I can give you two needles and you will soon recover."

"Are you a traditional Chinese physician?" Xiao Ziqian was obviously shocked by Zachary's identity. Then he hesitated and said, "Forget it..."

Zachary smiled and said, "Reporter Xiao, do you want to go out wearing a pair of sunglasses? My medical skills are very special. I only need a few needles and I will recover soon, and it doesn't hurt at all." "Really?" Xiao Ziqian's heart skipped a beat.

"You can have a try if you don't believe me!" Zachary had already taken out the silver needle.

"Well, okay!" Xiao Ziqian took off his sunglasses.

Zachary grabbed the silver needle and walked over. Xiao Ziqian raised his head slightly, then gently leaned down and began to slowly prick him in the face of his cheek.

At this time, Zachary used the "Autumn Water Cold" of the nine needles in the Xuanmen Sect and used the silver needle to inject the Yin Qi between heaven and earth, neutralizing the red and swollen hot Qi.

With Zachary's circulation of needles, Xiao Ziqian could feel the cooling air slowly entering his cheeks. His cheeks, which had been burning hot before, were now much more comfortable.

Xiao Ziqian raised his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him. Feeling the male aura coming from the other party's face, Xiao Ziqian felt that he was a little intoxicated.

It was the man in front of him that was brave beyond compare. At the critical moment of his life, he was able to block bullets for him. And now, he was treating his injuries gently.

Looking at Zachary's well-defined face, Xiao Ziqian felt that there was a different kind of emotion in his body. It was slowly flowing, spreading, and growing.

At this time, in another corner of the hotel, a man in black was paying close attention to the situation here. When he saw Zachary getting up to treat Xiao Ziqian's acupuncture, he secretly took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures. Moreover, because of the angle where he was, the lens was basically blocked by Zachary. Therefore, at first glance, it was Zachary who leaned over and approached Xiao Ziqian. The two people's heads touched each other's heads, and their bodies were close, as if they were kissing and kissing.

After taking photos, the man in black quickly sent it to Han De.

On the other side of the dining table, Zachary took out the silver needle and said "all right" in a low voice. Then he got up and sat back.

Xiao Ziqian touched his own cheeks and felt that the swelling must have subsided. Moreover, his skin was cold and he felt very comfortable.

However, when she touched her white skin, she felt a little lost. In a trance, a thought came to her mind, "Why is Han De the one who married me, not the man like Zachary and Dr. Ching?" "Reporter Xiao, what are you thinking about!"

Zachary's voice pulled Xiao Ziqian back from the fantasy. Her face was hot and her face was flushed. She lowered her head and took a bite of the food.

Then, she suddenly thought of something and looked up at Zachary and said, "Dr. Ching, I'm sorry."

"Why did you suddenly say sorry?" Zachary said with a smile.

Xiao Ziqian said, "I promised to clarify in the newspaper that you would do what is righteous, but now, I may not be able to do it."

After falling out with the mother and son of the Han family last night, Xiao Ziqian's report had not yet been finished. Even if he finished writing, the mother and son of the Han family would put obstacles in the way. It was impossible for her news to be released.

Seeing Xiao Ziqian's guilty face, Zachary smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't care about it at all. I don't believe that someone can still put the blame on me if I never do anything I've done." "But..." Xiao Ziqian was still a bit worried.

"Well, let's stop talking about these things. Reporter Xiao, taste this dish. It should taste good." Zachary picked up a dish for Xiao Ziqian.

They didn't eat fast. About half an hour later, they were ready to pay the bill and leave.

At this time, a figure strode into the hotel and went straight to Zachary's table.

The figure came to Xiao Ziqian's side. Without saying a word, he gave Xiao Ziqian a hard slap.

This time, let alone Xiao Ziqian, even Zachary was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Xiao Ziqian clutched his cheek. He turned his head and looked over. When he saw the person's face, his expression instantly turned ugly. "Han De, why are you..."

"Why am I here? If I didn't come, I wouldn't have met you again, you b*tch, flirting with the adultererer," roared Han De. He then gave Xiao Ziqian another slap on the cheek.

This time, Zachary couldn't stand it anymore. With a serious look, he reached out his right hand and accurately grabbed Han De's wrist, saying, "This gentleman, it's not good to hit a woman!"

Han De glared at Zachary and shouted, "You adulterers are working together to deal with me!"

Hearing this, Zachary frowned and said, "Sir, I think you've misunderstood. I don't have any special relationship with reporter Xiao. I just want to express my gratitude for this dinner."

"Well said!" Han De snorted and turned on his phone. A photo popped up. It was from the man in black who had sent it to him just now.

Seeing the photo, Zachary couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect that it would cause such a misunderstanding. He quickly explained, "Sir, it's not what you think. I was just treating the wound on your face by acupuncture, and the picture is just an angle problem."

Xiao Ziqian hastily explained, "Han De, what he said is true. There's really nothing between us."

"You slut, you still don't admit to it?" Han De bellowed. He flung out his left hand and slapped Xiao Ziqian on the cheek.

When Zachary saw this, he snorted coldly. He used his right hand to push slightly, and Han De was pushed back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Sir, I think you should calm down! Besides, it's also rude of you to hit a woman for no reason."

Han De finally managed to steady himself, and his eyes flashed with a hint of hatred. He shouted, "She's my fiancée, my woman. So what if I hit her?!"

Hearing this, Zachary said, "Sir, I don't care if Reporter Xiao is your fiancee or not. Even if you are married, you can't beat a woman like this."

"It's perfectly justified that I hit my woman." Han De roared, "And you, a traitor, dare to touch my woman. You are looking for death!" As he said this, Han De punched at Zachary.

"You're courting death!" Zachary snorted and directly hit Han De's fist with his palm.

Suddenly, a huge force surged out and pushed Han De away. He retreated seven or eight steps, and with a twist of his feet, he fell onto the ground with a loud thud. He was in a sorry state, causing the surrounding people to roar with laughter. Han De felt a sudden loss of face. He looked at Zachary with hatred, but when he saw Zachary's cold eyes, he immediately turned his eyes back and looked at Xiao Ziqian.

"Bitch, what are you looking at? Get your ass over here!" Han De roared at Xiao Ziqian.

Xiao Ziqian's face instantly turned deathly pale. He stood rooted to the spot and didn't move.

Seeing this, Han De roared again, "Bitch, don't you think about your father's life? Come over here."

Xiao Ziqian's entire body trembled upon hearing this. A look of despair flashed across his eyes as he walked with great difficulty to Han De's side and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

Chapter 430

Chapter 430

After standing up, Han De waved his hand and gave Xiao Zi a slap. He shouted, "Are you happy to see me being beaten just now? Bitch!"

Seeing this, Zachary's eyes narrowed, and his body flickered as he appeared in front of Han De. He then punched out toward Han De.

When Han De saw this, he was so frightened that his hand stopped moving. A look of fear appeared in his eyes as he shouted, "Xiao Ziqian, stop him!"

"Dr. Ching, please stop!" Xiao Ziqian's eyes were filled with tears. He stood in front of Han De and said to Zachary.

"Reporter Xiao, you..." Zachary was a little surprised.

Xiao Ziqian burst into tears and said with tears, "Dr. Ching, thank you for your kindness. But please don't worry about my business."

Zachary was stunned and stood where he was, with a weird and gloomy expression on his face.

Seeing this, a perverted smile appeared on Han De's face. He looked at Zachary and said, "See? She's my woman. I can fight with her however I want. I'll do whatever I want her to do. You b*stard, get out of my way." After that, Han Derong waved to Xiaozi and shouted, "Bitch, come here and look at me."

Xiao Ziqian walked over with a pale face, his body trembling slightly.

On the other hand, Han De's face was full of pride. He waved his hand and slapped Xiao Ziqian's face. At the same time, he said proudly, "See, this bitch is my slave. I told her to come over and give me a slap in the face, so she has to come over. Hahaha!"

A burst of crazy and perverted laughter.

Seeing this scene, quite a number of people in the surroundings immediately frowned and began whispering in whispers. However, no one stepped forward to stop Han De's actions. After all, most people did not wish to invite trouble. Moreover, that woman seemed to be listening to the words of that abnormal man. Some of them shook their heads in anger, looking as though they did not want to compete with him.

At this moment, Han De gave birth to an incomparable pleasure in his heart. His palm slid across the air and with a gust of wind, he slapped Xiao Ziqian's cheek hard.

Xiao Ziqian closed his eyes. There was a flash of despair in his eyes as he silently welcomed the humiliating slap.

But at this moment, Xiao Ziqian suddenly heard a crisp "pa" sound. However, she did not feel any pain on her face. Instead, she heard a painful howl coming from in front of her.

Xiao Ziqian opened his eyes and took a look at the situation in front of him. He saw Zachary gripping Han De's right hand with a cold expression and using force from the opposite direction. Han De immediately let out an incomparably painful scream.

"You, you actually dare to hit me!" Han De roared.

Zachary didn't respond to him. He used his right hand again, causing another bloodcurdling scream from Han De.

The severe pain made sweat seep out of Han De's forehead. He quickly shouted at Xiao Ziqian, "Bitch, let him stop, hurry up."

Xiao Ziqian frowned but did not move. However, when he thought of his father, Xiao Ziqian could only sigh softly. He then took a step forward and said to Zachary, "Dr. Ching, you don't have to interfere in my matters. I..." Zachary didn't stop what he was doing. Instead, he pinched Han De's wrist even harder. Han De cried out in pain.

Immediately, Zachary turned his head to look at Xiao Ziqian and said firmly, "Reporter Xiao, I don't know why you are like this. I don't know what he wants to threaten you. But I know one thing. If the bad guys in front of us want to threaten you, what we should do is not to retreat, but to resist. Because retreating will only make them more insatiable. Only by resisting and facing them and making them afraid, can you win the right."

These words caused Xiao Ziqian to freeze in place. His eyes shone with a different light, and his expression constantly changed. He was conflicted and hesitant, as if there were two small people constantly fighting in his mind. Seeing this, Zachary kicked Han De's belly and made him howl. Then he shouted in a cold voice, "Say, what exactly did you use to threaten reporter Xiao?"

"Xiao..." Han De still wanted to call Xiao Ziqian, but Zachary kicked him in the stomach again, making him hold back the words in his mouth.

At this moment, Xiao Ziqian looked up at Zachary and said, "Dr. Ching, thank you. I understand. I'll tell you about this. I don't want to see this man anymore." Zachary nodded, then kicked Han De out and said in a fierce voice, "Get out!"

Han De climbed up from the ground and turned to look at Zachary and Xiao Ziqian. He moved his mouth and wanted to say something vicious. But when he saw Zachary's cold eyes staring at him, he was so scared that he shivered. He didn't dare to say anything more and quickly ran away.

After watching Han De leave, Zachary and Xiao Ziqian paid the bill and left. The two walked all the way to a park. Zachary found the division chief chair and wiped it with the tissue he carried with him. Then he said to Xiao Zizhao, "We're tired. Let's sit down and have a rest."

Xiao Ziqian nodded and sat on the bench. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's start from three years ago. At that time..."

Zachary listened quietly to Xiao Ziqian describe the whole story. After listening, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Xiao Ziqian's father to be a corrupt official, and Han Derong and his son were so stubborn and even a little perverted. "Dr. Ching, thank you for saving me today. You've enlightened me. I won't let them threaten me like this. I'll fight back. I'll expose what happened to them with my pen. I won't give up." Xiao Ziqian's eyes were full of firmness. Zachary nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Xiao Ziqian had always been a tough woman. Otherwise, she would not have not forgotten to take photos when she was in the mall at that time.

It was just that Han De's threat was related to her father, which made her a little panicked. At this time, Xiao Ziqian regained his perseverance and toughness after being reminded by Zachary.

However, Zachary was still a little worried. He said, "According to you, the Han family is very powerful in Nan'an City. Now many of the current officials are the subordinates of Elder Han. In your current situation, if the Han family really wants to deal with you, I am afraid that you will be in danger."

Xiao Ziqian shook his head and said, "Even if there's danger, I won't give up. At the worst, I'll fight with them and die together." There was a determined look in Xiao Ziqian's eyes.

Zachary said, "Since you haven't reached this stage, you'd better not do something stupid. You know, there's no such thing as the end of the world."

"I know." Xiao Ziqian nodded and then looked at Zachary with a worried face. "However, I am a little worried about you, Dr. Ching. Han De has a vicious temper. I'm afraid that he will not give up today's matter and will retaliate against you." "Don't worry, he can't hurt me." Zachary said with a confident smile.

Later, the two of them discussed some strategies to deal with the Han family, and Zachary introduced Lauren to Xiao Ziqian. After all, Lauren had been a reporter before, and they were also in the same company, so they could have a discussion together.

At the same time, Han De, who returned home in a panic, rushed into his mother's room and said in a cold and vicious tone, "Mom, you must avenge me. That bitch..."

When she turned her head and saw her son's expression, Yang Yumei was also shocked. She quickly asked, "De'er, what's wrong with you? Tell me!"

Han De exaggeratedly told Yang Yumei what had just happened. After that, Han De said fiercely, "Mom, you go to make a phone call now and let the people in prison handle it. Let's teach the woman a lesson."

Yang Yumei comforted her son and said, "Dian'er, don't worry. It's not that far yet to deal with that woman. If we punish her father now, it will only force her to be our opposite side."

"Are we going to let her off just like that?" Han De's eyes were filled with hatred.

"Of course not!" Yang Yumei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill flashed in them. "In Nan'an City, my Han family has never been bullied like this. This time, we can't just let it go. Otherwise, how can our Han family survive in Nan'an City in the future?"

"Mom, do you mean..." There was a flash of pleasure of revenge in Han De's eyes.

Yang Yumei said coldly, "Didn't you say that the bitch is with the adulterer now? And the adulterer was the one who participated in the shooting case last time. That's what we use to make trouble."

"Shot!" Han De's face was full of hatred. "Mom, I know what you mean. But before that, Li Bo and Li Yan and his son from the Public Security Bureau seemed to want to frame that Qin Haodong, but they were beaten by him. If we still want to use this trick, I'm afraid..."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Yumei's mouth as she said, "That's because the father and son are too foolish to connect them directly with criminals. How can such a blunt frame be effective? We don't need to do that. We just need to use a little effort."

"Mom, use a little bit of force, then how to use it?" Han De was a little confused.

Yang Yumei sighed slightly and was a little disappointed with her eldest son. Her son's temper was too strange and he didn't know how to restrain himself. Therefore, with the resources of the Han family, he could only achieve an average position now.

However, Han De had only one son. Even if he was a good-for-nothing, Yang Yumei had to help him. So she waved her hand and said, "Come here. I'll tell you what to do, you..."

After listening to the speech, Han De showed an excited and proud look on his face and said with a smile, "Okay, mom, I'm going to call Duan Jianguo now. He is the secretary of the municipal party committee. He can definitely do such a small thing well."

"Go!" Yang Yumei waved her hand and saw her son leave.

With a cold look in her eyes, she said to a servant next to her, "Send someone out and keep an eye on that bitch. If there is a suitable opportunity, bring her back. De'er's wedding can't be dragged on any longer. This week, let's hold it in advance."

"Yes, Madam!" The servant nodded and left.
