Wang Xing and Wang Neng exchanged a glance, both feeling a little uneasy.
But Li Shouye was their deputy director, and it was Li Shouye who recommended them to join the personnel security team.
If we don't follow Li Shouye's orders now, he might make other arrangements for our work later.
With this in mind, Wang Xing and Wang Neng stepped forward as if they were going all out.
Veins bulged on Xi Mufan's forehead as he firmly shielded Bai Yun behind him. "Deputy Director Li, this woman is Guan Wenru's sister, and Commander He's sister-in-law! If you dare to lay a finger on her, Commander He and Guan Wenru will not let you off!"
"Ha..." Li Shouye didn't believe it at all. "Three people, three different surnames, do you think I'm a fool? So easy to fool?"
After saying that, he looked at Wang Xing and said, "What are you all standing there for? Make your move!"
Wang Xing and Wang Neng exchanged a glance.
Wang Xing immediately took off his gun, pointed it at Xi Mufan, and shouted, "Do you want to be shot or get out of here?"
"!" Xi Mufan and Bai Yun looked solemn.
Xi Mufan stared at Li Shouye, "Today's matter is a grudge between you and me. You can deal with me however you want. Let this woman leave first."
"What I do is none of your business! Get out of my way!"
Bai Yun clenched her fists and pushed Xi Mufan, "Xi Mufan, get out of here! In broad daylight, I don't believe he can do anything to me!"
Her main fear was that these people, in their depravity, might actually shoot Xi Mufan.
Xi Mufan didn't move. Seeing Wang Xing and Wang Neng approach, he clenched his fists and said, "If you have the guts, then shoot me dead!"
"Oh!" Li Shouye sneered, "Since you little brat have this request, I'll grant it!"
After saying that, he snatched the gun from Wang Xing's hand, raised it, and pointed it at Xi Mufan's head.
"No!" Bai Yun trembled with fear and quickly stopped him. "Comrade, don't be impulsive! Ask me whatever you want, just don't shoot! Comrade Xi Mufan and I are just ordinary friends. We haven't had any illicit relationship. And my sister really is Guan Wenru, and my brother-in-law is the regimental commander of a nearby unit."
She tried to step out from behind Xi Mufan and negotiate with him.
Li Shouye sneered, seemingly still not believing her words.
Xi Mufan forcefully protected Bai Yun, preventing her from coming out from behind him. "You stay put. If I get beaten to death, please tell your sister to look after my parents occasionally."
"Ha!" Li Shouye was enraged by his attitude. "You've got quite the temper! You really think I wouldn't dare hit you, huh?"
What happened today made him lose his mind. Now, meeting Xi Mufan's provocative gaze, he was consumed by rage and actually loaded the gun and pulled the trigger!
"Director!" Wang Xing and Wang Neng were startled.
The two tried to stop it, but it was too late!
The bullet had already pierced through Xi Mufan's calf!
"Xi Mufan!" Bai Yun exclaimed, tears streaming down her face, terrified!
She didn't care what others thought and quickly helped Xi Mufan up.
Xi Mufan remained expressionless, still protecting her behind him, his gaze fixed on Li Shouye!
Li Shouye's anger flared even more as he was stared at. "Fine! Let's see how long you can keep this up!"
He lost his mind and tried to fire, but Wang Xing and Wang Neng grabbed his arms and held his hands, pointing the gun upwards. "Director Li, calm down... calm down!"
Once the gun was fired, the situation changed!
In addition, they haven't yet found any evidence to deal with Xi Mufan.
They have absolutely no right to punish Xi Mufan!
"Get out of my way!" Li Shouye's eyes were bloodshot. "Let me go!"
Li Shouye was also very strong. Just as Wang Xing and Wang Neng were about to lose control, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
A moment later, Director Ma led several county-level officials and armed militiamen in!
Upon seeing the scene inside the room, especially Li Shouye's face and the gun in his hand, as well as Xi Mufan's injuries, Director Ma trembled with anger.
He pointed at Li Shouye and roared, "Stop! Li Shouye, what are you doing?! Are you going to break the law?!"
Upon seeing the situation inside, the county-level leader was so angry he was breathing rapidly. "Arrest those three! Take them away! Luckily, Commander He came to find us, otherwise we wouldn't have known we were in a place like this, with such a scoundrel as you!"
Upon seeing his superior, Li Shouye regained some composure.
When the militiamen approached, he dared not resist and even tried to argue, "Director Ma, several leaders..."
"Shut up!" the county leader snapped. "Take him away right now!"
Several militiamen roughly dragged Li Shouye and his two companions away.
Director Ma looked at the messy house, Xi Mufan with a gunshot wound, and Bai Yun crying in terror. His face turned ashen, and he felt even more panicked!
Such a huge mess has been made in a small commune; he's probably in serious trouble with his position as director!
Several county-level leaders, unaware of his thoughts, rushed to help Xi Mufan, saying, "Quick, we need to get to the hospital! Let's go to the county hospital first, it's closer."
Bai Yun was crying uncontrollably and wanted to go with them, but Xi Mufan turned to look at her and said, "I'm fine, you don't need to come, so as not to cause gossip."
Baiyun didn't care about that; she stubbornly wanted to go with them.
Fortunately, Che Zhenxing returned at that moment.
Many members of the squad heard the sudden gunshots.
He was the first to rush back.
Seeing Xi Mufan injured, he was extremely anxious, but he also knew that Xi Mufan was right.
If Bai Yun were to go along, he feared that someone might spread rumors about Xi Mufan and Bai Yun. So he said to Bai Yun, "I'll go with you. You go back and explain to my parents that we probably won't be back tonight, and tell them not to worry."
