"Tutu! How are you?! " Gu Yelin quickly ran over and hugged An Yiqing, frantically sizing her up.
"Ah Lin?" An Yiqing looked at the man in front of her somewhat sluggishly, then at Zhao Lingling, who had been kicked to the corner by Gu Yelin, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Just now, when Zhao Lingling pulled out a gun, she had already prepared the Silver Needle to deal with her. But she hadn’t expected that before she could make a move, her Ah Lin had appeared at the door.
"Tutu, you scared me to death. Are you hurt anywhere? Where does it hurt?" Gu Yelin’s arms were still shaking at this moment, as he feared and looked at the bullet on the floor to An Yiqing’s left. Had he not acted in time, would something bad have happened to his girl?!
"Ah Lin, I’m okay. Look, I was planning to use the Silver Needle to deal with her, and you came in before I had a chance to. Ah Lin, you don’t even give me a chance to show off!" An Yiqing affectionately hugged Gu Yelin, joking in an effort to soothe the panic inside him.
"What’s going on here?..." Just arriving, Tang Zhishan and the sub-bureau chief, Zhang Tielin, looked at Zhao Lingling lying on the ground spitting blood, then at An Yiqing and Gu Yelin, who were tightly embracing each other, and couldn’t help but pause. They caught Zhang Ping, the only one who seemed normal, and asked nervously.
"Uh... Director... Zhao Lingling, she..."
"Director Zhang, cough cough! An Yiqing is a murderer, she attacked the police!" Before Zhang Ping could finish speaking, Zhao Lingling lying on the floor hastily interjected.
"A murderer?" Tang Zhishan frowned and said to Zhang Ping, "Speak up! What exactly happened?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Ping stuttered, "Miss An was brought back to assist in investigating Xiong Tian’s case. Leng Leng, she thought Miss An was the murderer, so she handcuffed her, and then... then said she would use some special methods..." Zhang Ping’s voice got softer and softer, until at last, he mumbled unintelligibly.
"You’re lying! Director Zhang, don’t listen to Zhang Ping! From the moment An Yiqing walked in, Zhang Ping has been protecting her, clearly in cahoots with her! Director, An Yiqing has confessed to her crime, attempted to escape, and when I stopped her, she attacked me. I had no choice but to fire my gun!" Zhao Lingling struggled to get up, her body wounded but her mind still full of schemes, spinning a tale with ease.
"You, Leng Leng you..." Zhang Ping watched Zhao Lingling, incredulously, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
"What about me? You saw An Yiqing attacking the police as well, do you want to cover up for a murderer!" Zhao Lingling grabbed Zhang Ping, whispered in his ear, "Don’t forget, I’m the daughter of the deputy police chief!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ping’s body stiffened suddenly, disbelieving as he looked at Zhao Lingling. That’s right, she had a powerful background, and if he offended her, he could lose his job!
Looking into An Yiqing’s clear eyes, Zhang Ping’s face turned shades of green and white, and he slowly bowed his head, avoiding her gaze.
Seeing Zhang Ping’s reaction, An Yiqing shook her head helplessly. For someone like Zhang Ping, she could only pity his misfortune and anger at his lack of fight.
"Director Zhang, you see, Zhang Ping has also acknowledged my statement, An Yiqing committed murder first, assaulting an officer afterwards! She should be arrested immediately!" Seeing Zhang Ping’s acquiescence, Zhao Lingling couldn’t help but look at An Yiqing smugly before addressing Director Zhang.
"This..." Director Zhang felt troubled, the situation clearly had Third Young Master Gu standing on An Yiqing’s side, but if what Zhao Lingling said was true, then this girl was undoubtedly a murderer. What should he do?
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew sharply past Director Zhang, and an icy voice came from his left.
