Seeing that everyone present was intimidated by him, Zhou Xuemin was about to take the final step—to strip Qi Xiaowei and Xu Yun naked and throw them onto the rooftop of the Shanghai Metropolitan Center Building in front of everyone—when District Chief Sun suddenly jumped out.
"Commander, it's not that serious, it's not that serious." District Chief Sun tried to smooth things over, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead. "They may have made mistakes, but we can't be so extreme!"
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Yun and said, "Sister Yun, you're being foolish. Now that you're married, you should let go of your past feelings. If you ask me, you and the Commander should have had a child sooner, and things wouldn't have come to this."
Xu Yun sneered: "Heh, even if he has a child for you, he'd need to be capable of it first..."
"Shut up!" Zhou Xuemin shouted, interrupting Xu Yun. His eyes were full of anger, as if his pride had been deeply hurt.
Zhou Xuemin suddenly stood up, his body trembling slightly with anger, and the atmosphere in the restaurant plummeted to freezing point once again.
In a few steps, he arrived in front of District Chief Sun and kicked him to the ground: "You're so talkative, I'll kill you!"
This man surnamed Sun has embarrassed him more than once today, and Zhou Xuemin suspects that the other party did it on purpose.
District Chief Sun was kicked so hard he was in a sorry state, lying on the ground groaning in pain, his face full of shock and fear.
Seeing this, the other people at the table quickly stepped back, afraid of being affected.
"Men, drag him to the rooftop!"
Zhou Xuemin's voice was cold and ruthless, as if it came from an ice cellar, making everyone present feel a chill.
Several armed men who were originally standing behind him hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Zhou Xuemin's unquestionable gaze, they still gritted their teeth and stepped forward to lift up District Chief Sun, who was still struggling on the ground.
"Zhou Xuemin, I'm a government official, you have no right to treat me like this!" District Chief Sun roared with all his might, his voice filled with anger and resentment.
Zhou Xuemin sneered: "Power? In Haidu today, I am power! Here, I am the rule, I am the law!" Zhou Xuemin's voice echoed in the restaurant, carrying an undeniable domineering and madness.
His eyes were as fierce as a wild beast's, scanning everyone present as if trying to take in their fear and despair.
Hou Liang and the others present all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze, and remained silent as if trembling with fear.
"Haha~!" District Chief Sun suddenly burst into laughter. "You people, enjoying warm and comfortable shelters, indulging in lavish feasts, yet you keep talking about serving the people. I'm ashamed to be associated with you! Especially you, yes, you, Hou Liang! How could you have the nerve to enjoy your privileges while corpses litter the streets, spouting righteousness and morality, ignoring the lives of tens of millions of people in the city, and still have the nerve to call yourself one of the people! Bah~ You disgust me!"
"Sun Cheng has gone mad, Commander! Quick, drag him out!" Hou Liang's face was ashen as he urged Zhou Xuemin urgently.
Zhou Xuemin sneered, then waved his hand, signaling the armed men to drag Qi Xiaowei and the others out and subject them to the freezing torture.
Just then, Qi Xiaowei suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Wait!"
"Oh? Qi Xiaowei, do you have any last words?" Zhou Xuemin asked with a mocking expression.
"Hehe, Zhou Xuemin, you can't kill me. If I die here, none of you will survive!" Qi Xiaowei's voice was low, but it revealed an undeniable firmness and confidence.
"Haha~!" Zhou Xuemin laughed loudly, "Look everyone, our 'anti-drug hero' is about to die, and all he can do is talk big."
“Xu Yun, you’ve been treating this cowardly wretch with nothing but empty threats to buy time, and you still consider him a treasure all these years!” Zhou Xuemin turned his gaze to Xu Yun, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
Xu Yun looked at Qi Xiaowei with a puzzled expression, and Qi Xiaowei gave her a reassuring look.
He then said, "I am the deputy commander of the 'Cold Relief Militia Corps.' How dare you treat me like this? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
"Pfft~" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuemin couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
"Commander, this man has gone mad. Let's not waste words with him and just send him on his way," Qian Dong said with a shake of his head and a sigh.
Hou Liang and the others present also showed expressions of disdain and ridicule. In their view, Qi Xiaowei's words were just a dying struggle and had no practical meaning.
However, a strange light gleamed in Qi Xiaowei's eyes. He held his head high and, despite being escorted by two armed men, his calm and composed demeanor was impossible to ignore.
"Those who draw their knives will surely die by their own blades," Qi Xiaowei said calmly. "Listen carefully to what's going on outside."
As Qi Xiaowei finished speaking, the previously noisy breathing and whispers in the restaurant seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and everyone involuntarily quieted down and listened attentively.
"A bunch of cowards. Qi Xiaowei is just a madman who's been scared silly. What tricks can he possibly pull?" Zhou Xuemin sneered disdainfully.
"Is it a drone?"
"That's right, drones, lots of drones!"
"Zhou Xuemin, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to wipe us all out?" Old Sha said coldly. "Don't forget, although I've retired, I still have many old friends in Beijing! If anything happens to me, my old friends won't let you off the hook!"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Xuemin frowned.
At that moment, he also heard the roar of drones outside.
He looked at his armed men and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The armed personnel looked completely bewildered.
"Heh, don't be naive." Qi Xiaowei sneered, "You are surrounded by my 'Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps'. Today, you only have two choices: surrender or die!"
As soon as Qi Xiaowei finished speaking, the glass of the building suddenly shattered with a "bang".
Immediately afterwards, a line of drones rushed into the building amidst the howling cold wind.
"Bang bang bang bang bang~" Before anyone could react, the guns carried by the drone fired a series of bullets, accurately hitting the heads of the armed personnel present.
Zhou Xuemin's face turned deathly pale instantly. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief as his men fell one by one, their blood staining the ground.
"You've got some nerve, detaining and attempting to murder members of my 'Cold Relief Militia'!" A dignified voice rang out from a drone, echoing throughout the entire building.
Zhou Xueming and the others then realized what was happening, and they looked at Qi Xiaowei in horror.
At that moment, more than thirty drones were neatly arranged and hovering between Qi Xiaowei and his group, their gun barrels pointed at everyone except Qi Xiaowei and Xu Yun.
