If things had followed the original trajectory, her father would have been destined to be shot.
At least this time, I can save my life!
"Miaomiao, thank you!"
Shen Yuran gripped Yan Miao's hand tightly, trying to draw strength from it.
Yan Miao shoved Yan Xu aside and squeezed her hand tightly, saying, "Sister-in-law, your father will be alright."
Her words were like a shot in the arm, energizing Shen Yuran. "Lieutenant Zhang, have you prepared a backup plan?"
"Poison Dragon is no ordinary person; he only wants the commander's life! If the commander goes up there this time, I'm afraid—"
It looks like things are going badly for them!
Lieutenant Zhang looked grief-stricken, and he didn't say what he was going to say, but everyone present understood.
Why would Poison Dragon be so kind as to release ten children?
Isn't it just that they want something more important, Chief Shen's life?
The ten children cried loudly and were gradually released.
One of them, because he cried too loudly, was kicked off the mountain by one of Poison Dragon's men, and fell and was bleeding from his head.
Her voice was hoarse from crying, and her breath was weak.
Lieutenant Zhang quickly picked up the child and handed him to his parents.
The villagers kowtowed to them in gratitude, but Zhang, the adjutant, felt very heavy-hearted.
...........
"Hey, Mr. Chen, it's been a long time!"
The wooden houses on the mountain were dilapidated, and the old wood smelled of decay from being eroded by rain.
As soon as Chief Shen entered, Poison Dragon sat on the only broken chair in the room and greeted him in a sinister tone.
Standing next to him were two young men with crew cuts; one was burly and had a face full of scars; the other was thin and refined, and wore glasses.
They're practically carbon copies of Big Cat and Glasses, the henchmen of Poison Dragon back in the day!
"After all these years, your eye for choosing subordinates is still so poor."
Chief Shen's words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing the heart of the venomous dragon!
For eighteen years, only he could make him lose his temper and become uncontrollable!
"You dare mention them again!"
Poison Dragon suddenly stood up, grabbed Chief Shen by the collar, and threw him on the ground like trash.
"Stop pretending to be righteous in front of me, you bastard! I can let Big Cat and Glasses go, but what about my wife?! Huh?!"
"Tell me, what kind of expressions would those people outside have if they knew that Chief Shen, who appears to be dedicated to the country and its people, is actually a heartless and insane murderer!"
A ten-centimeter scar appeared on the face of the Poison Dragon, making him look particularly ferocious as his muscles trembled.
“Eighteen years ago, you received a tip and found where I was hiding drugs. You not only killed Big Cat and Glasses, but also my wife! Even if you kill me, I’ll accept it! My brothers and I made and sold drugs, and we always expected this day to come.”
"But what about my wife? She's always been clean her life. She doesn't know a thing about what I did, yet you killed her without even asking what happened!"
"You'll stop at nothing to climb the ladder and achieve merit, causing innocent people to lose their lives in vain! What kind of good person are you? You surnamed Shen, I'll make you pay with your life today!"
At the time, Poison Dragon received news that their newly established drug hideout had been shut down by the military.
He hurriedly and secretly went to the scene, hiding in the shadows and observing with binoculars.
All the lights in the warehouse were turned on, and the door was filled with armed soldiers.
Poison Dragon knew he was in trouble!
Big Cat and Glasses were in charge of this batch of goods tonight. These two brothers had been with him for many years, and today they were going to die here!
Poison Dragon is no good person!
No matter how many people died in front of him, he didn't even blink. He felt more sorry for the shipment than for the people.
Just as Poison Dragon was about to slip away quietly after realizing the situation was under control, he suddenly heard several gunshots.
He thought there was a gunfight between the people inside and the military, but after two gunshots, there was no more movement, and a white stretcher was carried out.
The dragon stared in disbelief at the people above, nearly tumbling down the hillside.
The woman on the stretcher was deathly pale, covered in blood, and lay lifeless and motionless.
That once bright and charming face, which would always smile gently at him, could no longer express any emotion!
A surge of overwhelming hatred welled up in Poison Dragon's chest. They actually killed her!
From then on, he hated Chief Shen.
Wherever he was stationed, he would allow drugs to circulate and spread, turning the people there into something unrecognizable!
He was determined to make Chief Shen live in the shadow of drugs every day, so that whenever he thought of drugs, he would think of himself!
The thought that one day I would take my revenge on him!
"When you couldn't find me, you kidnapped my wife too, tortured her, and finally shot her dead!"
"Eighteen years! Hahahaha! I've finally got this chance. You, surnamed Chen, it's time for you to atone for your sins!"
When he learned that his whereabouts had been exposed, Poison Dragon's first reaction was not worry or fear, but the thought that he could finally take revenge.
The Poison Dragon roared, ripped open its collar haphazardly, and stepped forward with a ferocious expression.
After a few punches, Chief Shen was left with a bruised and swollen face, and when he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood gushed out.
The Poison Dragon closed his eyes in enjoyment, pondering how to torture him.
Chief Shen lay on the ground and gave a mocking laugh. "Poison Dragon, it's been eighteen years, and you still don't know who you should hate! Don't you use your brain to think about it? Zhang Jiao is Zhang's younger sister. Even if I wanted to make a contribution, would I use her as a stepping stone?"
"Back when drugs were rampant in the city, you thought you were the king of the underworld. You were too arrogant! You thought you had covered your tracks perfectly, but little did you know that Zhang Jiao had already discovered the clues."
"She was a teacher, a patriotic and dedicated person who lived her life abiding by the law. She had a good job and a good husband. Who around her didn't envy her? She was also grateful for her stable and happy life. But it was that packet of drug powder found in your pocket that made her realize that it was all a joke!"
That day, Zhang Jiao came to the army to see her adjutant, and Commander Shen happened to be there as well.
Seeing that Zhang Jiao was stammering and unwilling to speak, he assumed that the siblings had something intimate to say to each other, so he left the office on his own.
Before long, a dispute was heard coming from the office.
Fearing something might happen to the two of them, he barged in.
The office was a complete mess, with cups and ashtrays shattered all over the floor!
Lieutenant Zhang stood amidst a pile of shards of glass, gripping his sister's arm tightly, and demanded, "Does this have anything to do with you? Do you even know?"
"No, no!"
Zhang Jiao was so frightened that she became incoherent, and her hair was completely disheveled.
As soon as she opened her mouth, tears streamed down her cheeks, and stray hairs clung to her face, making her look utterly disheveled.
"Brother, I can't do it. You know, the thing I hate most in my life is drugs! Dad died because of drugs!"
“Even my favorite student in my class, because his mother became addicted to drugs, jumped off a building with him in her arms.”
"Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still see his unseeing, dying face..."
Her eyes were red and she was shivering with fear.
