In the ever-changing and unpredictable business world, the intensity of competition is beyond imagination, and its dark side is even more astonishing!
Colleagues openly and covertly compete with each other, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics to undermine one another.
Those underhanded methods are like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and bite at any moment.
As for Xiao Weiguo, he had been navigating the business world for many years and was already accustomed to such deceit and treachery.
No matter how insidious or cunning the tricks were, they could hardly make him feel the slightest surprise or fear.
However, there is a bottom line to everything.
For Xiao Weiguo, the only thing he could not tolerate was someone daring to lay a hand on his family.
In this life, money is no longer important to him. What he truly considers the most precious treasure in his life are every relative and close friend who surrounds him.
They were like the bright stars in the night sky, illuminating his path forward.
It was like a warm fire in the cold winter, giving him endless strength and courage.
As long as he has a breath left, he will do everything in his power to protect the people he loves most in his life.
In the long years of his previous life, Xiao Weiguo spent his entire life in solitude.
The pain of having no family members by his side was like a sharp dagger, deeply piercing his heart.
Therefore, he vowed never to let such a tragedy repeat itself in this lifetime.
Anyone who attempts to harm his family and friends, even with the slightest malicious intent, will be retaliated against without mercy, making the other party pay a heavy price!
It was obvious that this group of guys had once again successfully reignited the burning anger deep within Xiao Weiguo's heart.
Instead of confronting Xiao Weiguo directly, they resorted to a treacherous tactic—targeting Xiao Weiguo's younger brother, Xiao Jian.
Perhaps in their past lives, the bond between these two brothers wasn't particularly strong.
However, ever since Xiao Weiguo was reborn in this life, he has been racking his brains to find Xiao Jian, who had long been lost.
Furthermore, he spared no effort to ease the tense and distant relationship between them.
After overcoming numerous hardships, Xiao Weiguo's hard work finally paid off. He not only won his brother's forgiveness and understanding, but also successfully helped his brother embark on a promising path in life, gradually putting his life back on track.
Just when everything was steadily moving towards a bright future, this group of people of unknown identity and suspicious origin chose such a crucial moment to viciously attack Xiao Jian!
If it weren't for Tiger's unwavering loyalty and courage, and his timely intervention...
It seems that Xiao Weiguo is truly going to lose his precious younger brother forever.
Under such circumstances, how could he not feel fear?
How could one possibly suppress the surging anger within?
As time went by, the eastern sky gradually turned a pale white, and the sky began to brighten slowly, but the on-site investigation work did not stop.
The staff worked tirelessly, leaving no corner unchecked as to any possible clue.
After a thorough search and investigation, they finally figured out how the group entered and their escape route.
However, frustratingly, there were no other significant gains.
Looking around, the entire scene was a mess, with only disordered footprints left behind, as if telling the story of the fierce scene at that time.
The damage caused by those standardized modified short-barreled shotguns was even more shocking, with walls, doors, and windows riddled with bullet holes.
Fortunately, the situation was not entirely without clues.
Not far away lay the thug who had been strangled to death by Hu Zi on the spot.
At this moment, his body has attracted the attention of the police.
Professional forensic experts conducted a comprehensive and in-depth examination and analysis.
After a series of rigorous procedures, the result was somewhat disappointing.
Besides a short-barreled shotgun clutched tightly in his hand, the criminal had only a few dozen loose coins in his pocket.
To make matters worse, a thorough search of his entire body revealed no valid identification documents that could prove his identity.
"Reporting to the director, this is the gun."
Liu Changhe quickly reached out and steadily took the short-barreled shotgun from the transparent plastic evidence bag, holding it tightly in his hands.
He began to examine the hunting rifle with utmost concentration, scrutinizing every detail.
This is indeed just an ordinary hunting rifle. The wooden stock has a deep and rustic color, as if it has been through countless hunts.
Above the stock, two barrels, each about 30 to 40 centimeters long, are fixed in place, stretching straight out and exuding a cold and austere aura.
It should be noted that this type of hunting rifle was quite common among civilians at the time.
Especially in the large provinces of northern China, where there are dense forests and abundant wildlife, local residents often use this type of shotgun for hunting.
However, the shotgun in front of us is different from the common shotguns.
The gun barrel, which should have been about a meter long, has now been sawed off in half.
It has become the short and concise thing it is now.
After this modification, it not only became lighter and more portable, but also easier to hide in certain situations.
For example, in this cold season, when people are wearing thick clothing, if this short-barreled shotgun is cleverly hidden inside the clothing, it would be difficult to detect its presence unless someone deliberately looks closely.
Liu Changhe watched it repeatedly for a long time, then turned to Hu Haidong beside him and said.
"Haidong, can you tell anything from this gun?"
Hu Haidong shook his head.
“I had already examined it before. This gun is a modified ordinary civilian hunting rifle, and these kinds of guns are all homemade, without any formal production department. Therefore, it is difficult to find effective evidence as a breakthrough based solely on this gun.”
"There aren't even any fingerprints on the gun?"
Liu Changhe asked, somewhat disappointed.
"No."
Hu Haidong continued to shake his head.
“We conducted fingerprint testing as soon as we received the evidence, and we didn’t find a single fingerprint on it. Clearly, they were very careful when using it and wore gloves the whole time.”
Liu Changhe nodded and handed the gun back to the policeman.
"It seems that our enemy is not only ruthless and cunning, but also very cautious and has a strong counter-surveillance awareness. They are very difficult to deal with."
His gaze followed the direction the assailant had fled, and his brows furrowed deeply.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke.
"This case is extremely serious in nature and will soon have a huge impact. This case happened here, and it is our responsibility no matter what. If we cannot solve this case, we, the public security officers of Shang County, including you and me, will not be able to explain to the people and to our superiors."
He spoke to Hu Haidong with a serious and meaningful expression.
At that moment, Xiao Weiguo's pager suddenly went off.
The number displayed was completely unfamiliar.
