"Don't move! Release the hostage!"

When the gun was pointed directly at him, Biaozi was the first to chicken out, and his knife fell to the ground.

Qiao Muting reacted quickly and pulled Qian Lai back to his side.

Before them stood two groups of people, one group dressed in dark blue uniforms with the words "Market Inspector" prominently displayed on their armbands.

The other group of people, whom Biaozi knew all too well, were the police.

Police officers, armed with guns and nuclear weapons, escorted Biaozi and his gang into police cars.

"Officer, they just admitted themselves that Tang Guili from Xinshi Commercial City sent them to bully and monopolize the market, and these few were accomplices. People inside and outside the compound can testify to this."

Moreover, they injured people and took me hostage. That's compounding their crimes!

"Don't worry, young lady, my men will take statements from all the witnesses in a moment."

It's a time of severe crackdown right now. If the situation is true, well, they'll probably be spending a lot of time in jail.

However, may I ask, which one of you is Comrade Qiao Muting?

"It's me." Qiao Muting was enduring the immense pain from the dislocated shoulder, his face pale.

That's when everyone noticed that something was wrong with his right arm.

"Hello, Comrade Qiao Muting. I am Qi Xiangmin, the branch captain of the Chengnan Public Security Bureau. Is this... a dislocated shoulder?"

Qiao Muting nodded slightly.

"Hey, don't worry. Xiao Song." Qi Xiangmin called in a young police officer. "Comrade Qiao, sit down. We'll help you put your arm back down."

Qian Lai: This is the first time I've seen someone brutally restore a crane arm.

"Come on, take off your shirt."

ah?

When asked to take off his clothes in front of Qian Lai, Qiao Muting blushed.

"Hey, Comrade Qiao, you're not married yet, are you? Don't you even have a girlfriend? Why are you blushing when we talk about taking off your clothes?"

Qian Lai, being sensible, left the yard and caught up with Sister Mi and Lao Zhang, who were preparing to go to the police station to give their statements, but kept listening to the sounds coming from inside.

At first, Qiao Muting kept his composure.

"Comrade Qiao, just bear with it. Next comes the crucial 'push and pull' movements. Once you get them right, the pain will subside immediately."

As he spoke, Qi Xiangmin suddenly exerted force, and in an instant, a combination of soreness, numbness, and pain came together. Qiao Muting was caught off guard and let out a soft "Ah!" which entered Qian Lai's ears.

My heart skipped a beat!
