From the previous incidents, Li Chen could also discern some anomalies.
Why is it that for such a long company hostage situation, not even a single police officer was seen?
And why, just at this moment, were the police’s phones unreachable?
Moreover, why, just after everything ended, were their phones suddenly reachable again, and they arrived so quickly?
This wasn’t a difficult guess, especially for Li Chen.
As he knew, among the police and the military, there are many respectable figures, but inevitably, there are also some black sheep.
Xuu Zhi looked at Li Chen, his face full of mockery: "What, you want to resist arrest? You should be aware that you are a suspect, so I have the right to arrest you, but if you resist, it won’t be that simple."
This tone laden with threat could even be understood by a deaf person.
By Li Chen’s side, Jiang Xiaoyue just wanted to speak but was stopped by Li Chen’s gesture; turning his head, Li Chen gave a reassuring smile to the two girls: "Don’t worry, leave it to me."
Seeing Li Chen’s expression, the two girls were slightly startled, then nodded and ceased to speak further.
Upon seeing Li Chen’s instructions, the two bodyguards who were following him did not come over either.
They knew all too well about Li Chen’s prowess; the young lady would be much safer by his side than by theirs.
"Power and money, really are wonderful things," Li Chen said softly, looking at Xuu Zhi, "But at the same time, they can easily lead one astray."
Xuu Zhi’s face tensed, but his pupils subtly contracted: "I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you continue wasting time, I have the right to forcefully arrest you for resisting law enforcement!"
Who is Li Chen? He wouldn’t miss even the slight change in Xuu Zhi’s expression, and in a flash, he understood exactly what was going on.
"Fine then, arrest me. But before you do, there’s one thing I forgot to tell you," Li Chen began.
"Indeed, you have the right to arrest me, but as for me..." Li Chen said, and extended his hand, snatching the gun from Xuu Zhi’s hand before he could react, pointing it at Xuu Zhi’s head.
"I also have the right to take you down!"
Seeing this scene, the surroundings immediately erupted into chaos.
"What are you doing?!"
"Damn! You dare to assault an officer?!"
Even the employees who had been supporting Li Chen were taken aback by his action, not knowing what to say.
"You... I warn you, assaulting an officer is a serious crime, if you touch me, you will be shot! Definitely!" Xuu Zhi’s face remained unchanged, however, his voice trembled involuntarily.
"Of course, I know that." While all the surrounding police officers turned their attention, guns aimed towards him, Li Chen’s face didn’t change at all.
"However, that’s relative to ordinary people." Li Chen smiled: "Unfortunately, I am not an ordinary person. You think you have power, so you can control the life and death of the people here."
"But sadly for you, my power seems just a little bit greater than yours."
Saying so, Li Chen slowly took out a black book from his chest.
On the book, a golden dragon’s head was embossed.
This is a unique form of proof only issued by the Huaxia Long Hun.
On a certain level, this document also has another name.
Those who possess this document have full justification to directly kill any target that threatens them, without facing any punishment.
Even within the Long Hun, only a few particularly special individuals with distinguished contributions are issued this document.
The moment they saw this document, all the police officers were stunned.
"Playing the blame game?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows, "I can play that game too."
Pointing at Xuu Zhi’s motionless handgun, Li Chen loudly declared, "I am a member of the Huaxia Long Hun organization, and I now suspect that you are engaged in unfair law enforcement and are threatening the public! From this moment forth, everyone put down your guns, or else I will notify my superiors to charge you with treason and pursue a nationwide manhunt against you!"
All the police officers immediately threw their guns to the ground as if they were holding a burning hot iron.
Who would dare bear this crime?
It’s not just about other matters, these police officers are human too, they have friends and family. If they really were accused of treason, being abandoned by everyone is the least of their problems, they would undoubtedly face execution by firing squad, and even posthumously, they would be reviled.
They are just small policemen who follow orders, who would dare to commit treason so casually?
It was at this time that Li Chen turned to look at Xuu Zhi in front of him with a smile, "So, how about that? Have you now seen the power of authority?"
Looking at Li Chen, cold sweat started to form profusely on Xuu Zhi’s forehead; he suddenly realized that maybe he had antagonized someone he should not have.
However, by this time, he had no way back, biting his teeth tightly, he stared at Li Chen and said, "What proof do you have that you really are a member of the Long Hun?! Don’t just use your document, documents can also be forged!"
Hearing Xuu Zhi’s words, the police officers around him seemed to waver as well, looking hesitantly towards Li Chen.
Indeed, just based on Li Chen’s word alone, it’s difficult to completely trust him.
"Don’t be fooled by him! Pick up your guns! I suspect he is a foreign spy, and has come here with some unspoken intentions!" Xuu Zhi again began to accuse Li Chen.
This time, Li Chen actually admired the guy a bit. Even at this juncture, he was still desperately clinging to his stance.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"We can vouch for his identity!"
Everyone turned towards the direction of the coming voice.
The sight was of two men walking in leisurely; their expressions relaxed.
One of the men, looking at Li Chen and Xuu Zhi, who was at gunpoint, chuckled, "I am Xia Feng, the captain of the first major team and the second minor team of the Huaxia Long Hun, and this guy is my deputy captain."
"May I ask, officer, do you also wish to deny us?" Before Xuu Zhi could speak, Xia Feng directly interrupted him, yet the doubt visibly remained on his face.
"Oh! Right!" The man named Xia Feng seemed to remember something, pointed outside, and said, "Your chief is actually outside waiting right now, perhaps, you can ask him for confirmation."
Hearing Xia Feng’s words, Xuu Zhi’s face turned ashen.
