The smell of chloroform had penetrated into her nasal cavity. Lin Dongxue realized that things weren't good, and used all her strength to step backwards to hit the landlord aunty with her shoulder and elbow. The landlord aunty staggered and fell after yelling. While Wu Xu was distracted, she quickly pulled out the pistol, holding both her hands on it tightly. Her fingertips felt numb and her head began to spin.

After all, he was a person who had been in jail. Upon seeing the gun, Wu Xu didn't dare to do anything else. Lin Dongxue stepped back, keeping both the mother and son in her line of vision. Her balance was already a little shaken.

”Did you do it?” Lin Dongxue gritted her teeth and asked.

”I don't know what you're talking about...” Wu Xu took a step forward.

Lin Dongxue fired a shot upwards towards the sky, and the sound of the gun frightened the pa.s.sersby around them. Then, she pointed the muzzle at Wu Xu and shouted, ”Don't move!”

”I just want to help my mum up. Is that not allowed?”

”I told you not to move! Raise your hands!”

Wu Xu glanced at his mother who had fallen to the ground, then raised his hands with a contemptuous smile on his face.

The scene just then still caused Lin Dongxue to be terrified. If she had fallen victim to it, being taken hostage would be a trivial matter. The key thing was that this gun was filled with bullets. Who knows how many public safety incidents would be caused from it?

At this time, Lin Dongxue's cell phone rang. While she was a little distracted, Wu Xu made some small movements. Lin Dongxue fired several shots at the sky. On the one hand, it was to report the direction to get her colleagues' attention. On the other hand, it was used to scare Wu Xu. “If you move again, I'll shoot you.”

”You wouldn't dare!” Wu Xu sneered. ”I have dealt with the police too much. I know what you guys are like. Aren't you afraid of going to jail if you shot and killed an unarmed suspect? A criminal police officer would be destined to die if they went to jail.”

Lin Dongxue said sadly, ”You really disappointed me. I thought you had changed.”

”Changed?!” Wu Xu gritted his teeth fiercely. ”Did this society give me a chance? Let's not talk about finding a job and being met with obstacles wherever I went. This society wouldn't even accept me when I'm just collecting waste and broken objects. One time, in the communities I often frequented, the security guards wouldn't let me in. I asked why and they wouldn't say anything. I could only go to places that were far away to collect things. Then, I learned that the nearby police stations gave the community property managers a mention with ”goodwill”, saying that I was a prisoner just released and asking them to be careful! It's so funny. Just so ridiculously funny. Didn't you guys say that you want to help me reform? As a result, did you even give me the tiniest bit of help when I walked out of prison? All I got was discrimination, discrimination and discrimination!”

As more people gathered around him, Wu Xu shouted at the crowd, ”You all should listen to me. I, Wu Xu, impulsively killed someone in my twenties and squatted in prison for over ten years! I know you all look down on me and my mother. You backstab us from behind. While your families are all gathered, we can only cry painfully at home with our heads in our hands. You guys just like to beat people when they're down, but when the real wolf comes, you all hide far away! You don't understand at all how each day is tolerated behind those iron bars. I was in there for 16 years. 16 years! I paid 16 years for the impulsive action from when I was young. I thought I had paid it all off, but when I came out, the society told me that it wasn't enough. I had to pay for it for the rest of my life!”

Wu Xu's eyes were moist and turned to Lin Dongxue. ”You've all already put out my hopes, but you're expecting me to be a good person?!”

Lin Dongxue's eyes began to sting. ”I can help you. Not everyone will discriminate against you. Don't treat the indifference from one or two people as the indifference from the whole world!”

Wu Xu strode over with his eyes gleaming. Lin Dongxue pointed her gun at him with trembling hands. ”Stay there! Stay there!”

”You should shoot. I don't want to go back to prison anymore. Kill me. Kill me!”

”Stay there!”

Lin Dongxue shouted with all her strength. She put her finger on the trigger and was ready to shoot. At this time, the landlord aunty suddenly jumped up and grabbed Lin Dongxue's hands. The aim of the gun became skewed and the bullets flew into the air.

The landlord aunty shrieked, ”Son, hurry up and go! Mother will fight with the police. I'll never let them catch you!”

Wu Xu seemed to have recovered his senses and ran away immediately. The crowd of onlookers automatically opened a gap for him. No one dared to stop him, as if he was carrying a deadly virus on him.

Lin Dongxue didn't expect things to develop like this. She was in a hurry to go after him, but the landlord aunty held onto her for dear life and opened her mouth as if to bite the back of Lin Dongxue's hand.
