Chapter 477 - Arrest Operation (2/2)

The twenty of them looked at each other, obviously unwilling to believe him.

“What nonsense! You must be fake policemen and investigators. Everyone, don’t be fooled by them! You can’t let them take Teacher Shi away,” a boy shouted.

“Yes, Teacher Shi did not violate any laws. How could the police arrest him? You must be fake police!”

“Tell us, why are you all pretending to be police and trying to take our Teacher Shi away?”

“Teacher Shi, don’t worry! We will never let these people take you away!”

The crowd rose up in anger, and more than twenty of them began rolling up their sleeves one by one. It was as if they were trying to fight Qiu Yuanjie and his team.

“A bunch of fools!”

Luo Shuang angrily gritted his teeth and said, “You don’t even know that you have been deceived! To think you’re still helping the MLM leader by speaking up for him. It’s ridiculous!”

“Don’t say another word, let me try to talk some sense into them,” Qiu Yuanjie said, asking Luo Shuang to back off to de-escalate the situation.

He flashed a smile, and with a chuckle, he said, “Friends, we…”

POW!

A fist came flying right at Qiu Yuanjie, and he was caught off guard. The sucker punch hit him directly on his nose, and he could detect the sour taste of blood. The blow caused him to stumble back two or three steps.

“Brothers and sisters, come save Teacher Shi! You must not let these wicked people take him away!” the man who punched Qiu Yuanjie said, raising his arms.

The others rushed up in a frenzy and scuffled with the anti-MLM police.

“My friends, don’t get agitated, listen to me… listen to me…”

Qiu Yuanjie said, trying hard to resolve the conflict peacefully. But as he was talking, he took another fist to his nose and suddenly became angry. He drew his pistol, pointing it to the ceiling, and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The deafening sound of gunfire was like a thunderbolt, and it took a toll on everyone’s eardrums in the confined space.

The bar instantly went into a hushed lull. The background chatter stopped, the people who were drinking looked over in a panic, and the guys who had been brainwashed were rooted where they stood, in absolute fear.

“Hands on your heads and squat down! Hurry up, put your hands on your head, and squat down!” Qiu Yuanjie shouted, and he now had an expression of rage on his face.

Luo Shuang and the other team members also drew their guns and instructed the mob to hold their hands up and squat down.

Surrounded by armed policemen, the mob had to comply and gave up any thought of resistance. Too late did they finally realize that these were really cops!

“Oi, what’s happening here? Why did someone fire a shot? Are they preventing us from enjoying our drinks? Is there any morality anymore around here?”

A strange, eccentric voice filtered in from the direction of the gate. Then, a large group of fierce-looking men swarmed in like a school of fish swimming into a net. They had snarling faces and looked hostile. The voice came from the mouth of a fat man lumbering right at the front of the mob. He wore a white shirt, and around his neck was a thick gold chain. The fat man had a cigarette in his hand. He was a heavy smoker, and his teeth had yellowish and black nicotine stains from excessive smoking.

“It seems like the top boss is here!” Guan Tong said. His voice trembled, and he could feel his throat suddenly becoming dry.

Xiao Luo frowned when he looked at the fat man wearing the gold chain. This person was familiar to him; it was as if he had seen him somewhere before.

If Xiao Luo had recalled, he would have immediately known that this was the head, Feng Zhiqiang, a man he had once met when he was sweeping out the Dragon Gang’s red-light district back in Jiangcheng. It was a pity that such a small person did not register in his mind, and all Xiao Luo felt was a sense of Deja Vu.
