Chapter 318 They Can't See You Anymore
After saying that, Guan Zhong didn't give Lou Rui any chance to quibble. He raised his hand and inserted the muzzle of the gun into Lou Rui's screaming mouth, blocking the latter's throat as he cried for help, just as the latter had strangled his throat before.
Wang Ping'an and Jiang Li dragged Lou Rui up from the ground, one on each side, and dragged him on the ground like a corpse, cursing in unison:
"Fuck you, why don't you lose some weight? You're so heavy. Don't be lazy. You still have one leg. Give me some strength!"
The prison guards watching from all sides looked at each other and made way.
At this moment, Ma Xuan, who received the news, hurried over. He glanced at Lou Rui who was dragged on the ground like a dead dog, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
His anger did not come from his personal relationship with Lou Rui. In fact, he was also disgusted by some of Lou Rui's bad habits.
However, Lou Rui was, after all, a prison guard in Division C of the Light Prison Area, and a subordinate under Ma Xuan's responsibility. He could not sit idly by and watch Lou Rui being taken away like that.
"Wait a minute, which prison area are you guys from? Who gave you the authority to arrest people indiscriminately?"
Ma Xuan stopped Guan Zhong, and several prison guards behind him stood aside one by one. They were not afraid even if they were faced with the gun in Guan Zhong's hand.
Guan Zhong dared to shoot directly at Lou Rui, but he didn't dare to shoot at Ma Xuan. It was not because he was afraid of Ma Xuan's identity as the district chief, but because he didn't want to cause trouble for Feng Mu.
However, he couldn't let Ma Xuan take the man back, because hanging Lou Rui was both a reward from Feng Mu and a "mission" from Feng Mu! No matter what the reason was, he had to complete it.
"Even if I die here today, I will complete this task."
Guan Zhong paused, and a look of determination to face death flashed in his eyes.
Wang Ping'an and Jiang Li exchanged glances. Although their eyes were not as crazy as Guan Zhong's, they both clenched their teeth. One of them held the electric baton tightly, while the other held the pistol steadily.
Ma Xuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised at the boldness of these three people.
He gently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a cold tone:
"I advise you three not to do anything stupid. The Second Prison is already in chaos today. Don't cause more trouble for yourselves or the people behind you."
Guan Zhong stared at Ma Xuan as he spoke slowly, wishing he could shoot his face to pieces, but he had to admit that Ma Xuan's words were quite hurtful.
"I'm not afraid of causing trouble for myself. After all, my life is already a mess. But, this four-eyed district chief is right. I shouldn't cause any more trouble for Feng Mu."
Guan Zhong had a principle in mind, which was that Feng Mu only said that he could hang Lou Rui, but did not allow him to shoot at other people.
Guan Zhong took a deep breath and spoke word by word: "It was the warden who asked us to investigate this riot."
Ma Xuan naturally knew the order that the warden had given to Feng Mu. When the warden gave the order, he was also in the monitoring room, and he was not deaf, so he heard it clearly.
But Ma Xuan just pretended that he didn't hear it, and even when confronted afterwards, Ma Xuan was not afraid.
Because, he could always find ways to misinterpret and quibble about verbal orders later on. What's more, the order given by the warden was to Feng Mu, not to the three prison guards in front of him whose names he couldn't even remember.
Ma Xuan said expressionlessly, "I don't think that's what the warden meant. If you have any objections, let Feng Mu come and talk to me. Now, leave the man to me. We in the light prison area will investigate whether he has any problems or not."
As he spoke, Ma Xuan waved his hand gently. The prison guards behind him sneered with contempt, then stepped forward in unison and quickly approached Guan Zhong and the other two.
Wang Ping'an's hand was tightly gripping the electric baton, and his five knuckles were pale from using too much force.
Jiang Li's expression changed drastically in an instant. He took a deep breath and aimed his gun at the fastest prison guard approaching.
However, the muzzle of the gun seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, grabbing his trembling arm and moving it down little by little, from the opponent's eyebrows to his chest, and then to the root of his thigh.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth, bent his index finger and was about to pull the trigger.
At the critical moment, Guan Zhong quickly raised his left hand and pressed down the muzzle of Jiang Li's gun, preventing the latter from shooting.
The guards who were approaching had more and more contemptuous smiles on their faces and quickened their pace. The first one couldn't help but sneer, "You dare not shoot? Why are you pretending?"
A murderous look flashed in Guan Zhong's eyes, and he resisted the urge to shoot the other person. His right hand quickly pulled out the muzzle of the gun that was blocking Lou Rui's throat.
Lou Rui's face lit up with joy, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His scalp instantly felt numb and as if ready to split, he caught a glimpse of a cold gun barrel pressing against his temple.
The saliva stuck to the muzzle of the gun slid wetly along his hair to the side of his face, stinging his skin so much that it trembled.
Lou Rui stopped talking abruptly, and several approaching prison guards also stopped and turned to look at Ma Xuan at the same time.
Ma Xuan narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was waiting for Guan Zhong to shoot.
In fact, he didn't have to take Lou Rui back. It seemed that it was not impossible to leave Lou Rui to the other party, as long as he was sure that Lou Rui would control his mouth in the future.
At this moment, Guan Zhong's heart was calmer than ever before. He was too lazy to think about Ma Xuan's thoughts. At this moment, he seemed to have touched the calmness that Feng Mu had always shown.

"I really enjoyed the bonus time, but it's a pity that it has to end here!"
Guan Zhong muttered calmly and pulled the trigger.
Lou Rui was concentrating, all his attention was on Guan Zhong's index finger, he was roaring angrily in his heart:
“Fuck, fuck, don’t act like you’re going to die. Your gun is pointed at my head. It’s me you want to end—”
Bang--
Lou Rui's face turned red, and the blood vessels on his neck bulged as if they would burst at any time, reflecting a horrifying purple color.
His neck jerked violently and his head instinctively tilted back. A bullet whizzed past his forehead, leaving a warm splash.
Lou Rui fell heavily to the ground. His knee, which was shot, shattered as he fell. His own weight pinned him down, causing him excruciating pain.
However, none of these could stop Lou Rui's instinct for survival. The surge of adrenaline made his body stiff but full of strength. He struggled on the ground, like a gecko with a broken leg, crawling hard with his only three remaining limbs, leaving a shocking trail of blood under his body.
At the same time, Lou Rui's voice was already hoarse and almost distorted, but he still shouted with all his might: "District Chief, save me, save--"
But at this moment, Ma Xuan seemed to be blind and deaf. He did not move for a long time, and his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were indifferent.
Guan Zhong stared at the crawling Lou Rui, and looked at the prison guards around him who seemed to be collectively frozen in time at the moment the gunshots rang out, with a momentary trance in his eyes.
He showed a sick smile on his face and said faintly:
"Hey, it's like they suddenly can't see you, just like they couldn't see me at first, that's great!"
