"They won't let us in; the child must have been beaten to death by them."
This shout enraged the crowd, and hundreds of people began pushing and shoving each other.
The shield formed by Li Jinhu and all the soldiers could hardly withstand hundreds of people with their bare hands.
"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, listen to us."
Give me time to check what's going on.
But it was clear that the villagers were too excited to listen to anything.
"You're deliberately obstructing us. What are your true intentions? Have you already killed the child? Are you trying to cover up the truth?"
"Everyone rush in; the law won't punish everyone."
"We absolutely cannot allow them to cover up the truth and destroy the evidence!"
Sure enough, these words stirred up everyone's anger, and they stopped thinking about anything else.
With hundreds of people charging in, it was clear that the shield was very weak.
Just then, a loud shout was heard.
"Stop it, everyone! The child is coming!"
The scene, which had been on the verge of exploding, instantly fell silent.
Guo Yaozong rushed over, carrying the child, followed by two soldiers.
"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers! Is this the child you're looking for?"
The child's parents rushed over immediately upon hearing this.
The eight-year-old child burst into tears upon seeing his parents and rushed into their arms.
"Father, Mother, bad people have tied me up and brought me here."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinhu's expression changed. Everyone who heard this could tell that the other party was obviously doing this with a purpose, deliberately trying to provoke a conflict between their shooting range and the surrounding villagers.
Li Jinhu said quickly.
"Fellow villagers, this child is yours."
Someone is deliberately trying to create conflict and infiltrate our firing range to cause sabotage.
Please cooperate with our inspection.
The hundreds of villagers were stunned. Just moments ago they were so indignant, but now they were terrified, looking at each other and scrutinizing the familiar faces around them.
"Comrades, you must have made a mistake. We didn't mean to cause trouble; we really are looking for our child."
Once the first person offers an explanation, countless other explanations will follow.
"Comrade, we really don't know what happened, we just came to find our child."
"We didn't intend to cause any damage."
When we first heard about the child's accident, everyone was outraged and acted recklessly. But now the child has been found, and it's obvious there's something wrong with him.
At this point, everyone naturally became frightened. They were all ordinary people who had never faced such a problem before.
Especially these days, everyone gets nervous when they hear that someone is an enemy agent, as they've encountered several instances of sabotage before.
All the people were separated for investigation.
Li Jinhu asked Guo Yaozong, who had rushed over.
"What exactly happened? Where was this child found?"
Guo Yaozong arrived at the perfect time; if he had arrived even a little later, problems would have arisen.
Li Jinhu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If a conflict were to break out among so many ordinary people, they would be unable to explain themselves, unable to be hit, unable to be scolded, unable to be lenient, and unable to be harsh. What if something went wrong during the process?
That triggered local unrest.
Just thinking about the enemy agents hiding in the crowd, they might take this opportunity to strike hard.
Whether it's ordinary people or soldiers like them, the consequences of anyone getting injured are severe.
The main problem was that this incident happened so suddenly that no one was prepared.
Guo Yaozong lowered his voice and said.
"I don't know what happened either. I was training the new recruits in target practice when one of them, Jiang Tiecheng, suddenly told me that there were people behind me."
When I sent someone over to check, sure enough, there was someone there—I was terrified! Now I'm starting to wonder who Jiang Tiecheng is. Could he be colluding with someone inside or outside?
No wonder Guo Yaozong was suspicious; after all, what good person could see right through the person hiding behind the target?
If it weren't for knowing in advance who could see it with the naked eye, even the patrol personnel at the shooting range wouldn't have seen it, let alone anyone else.
Although Jiang Tiecheng did a good deed, his behavior in this matter is hard to explain.
Li Jinhu was taken aback when he heard the name. Jiang Tiecheng was very memorable to him. There was no way around it; this new recruit had performed too well.
Before Li Jinhu could say anything, there was a loud bang.
The sound, like firecrackers, was particularly sensitive to them. Guo Yaozong instinctively bent down and looked down, only to see Li Jinhu, who was standing next to him, clutching his chest and collapsing with a thud.
As Li Jinhu fell, the people around him immediately shielded him while shouting.
"Everyone, get down! Everyone, get down! Someone's shooting!"
The people screamed in terror and fled in panic.
The scene instantly descended into chaos as everyone rushed forward to shield Li Jinhu.
It was only then that they realized Li Jinhu was injured and had obviously passed out.
They hurriedly sent the person to the medical team.
Jiang Tiecheng and the other new recruits were standing at attention when they heard what sounded like chaos at the door. There was no way they could miss the noise; it was so loud.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what had happened, but they soon found out.
Because fully armed personnel rushed in.
All the new recruits were taken back to the barracks and then isolated directly according to their dormitories.
Everyone was a bit confused. Back in the dorm, everyone felt a little heavy-hearted. They knew what had happened that day, but they didn't know what had happened.
Just from the screams that came out just now, you know it's definitely not a good thing, not to mention that the fully armed personnel essentially brought them back.
Someone opened the door very quickly.
"Jiang Tiecheng, come out for a moment."
Xu Hu and the others said in hushed tones.
"What's wrong with Lao Jiang?"
"I don't know either."
Jiang Tiecheng strode out and saw four fully armed men outside who looked at him with wary eyes.
Moreover, all four men had their hands on the gun holsters at their waists.
Clearly, any irregular movement by Jiang Tiecheng would invite an attack.
Jiang Tiecheng was also unsure of himself. He thought he had done a good thing, but the outcome didn't seem like a good thing at all.
Jiang Tiecheng gritted his teeth, sandwiched between the four people.
They were quickly led to a room with no windows, only a light shining through the door, making the room somewhat dark.
The room was divided into two areas, with a stool inside the iron fence.
Outside the iron fence were two tables.
Soon, he sat down on the stool opposite him.
The iron gate was tightly locked, and two fully armed comrades stood beside it, watching Jiang Tiecheng warily.
At that moment, the door opened, and two people who Jiang Tiecheng had never seen before quickly walked to the table.
