Chapter 1323 - 1373: Who Exactly Should We Catch?
Here’s the requested translation:
Seeing Wang Shoucheng kneel down, the riot police suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, with many of them feeling immense relief.
This Wang Shoucheng, as the Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, was responsible for supervising the Public Security Department. Though the Public Security System was under the committee’s oversight, it wasn’t directly managed by it. However, Wang Shoucheng was arrogant and domineering, treating these police officers as his personal enforcers, barking commands without regard for their dignity. Many harbored deep resentment towards him, yet they dared not provoke him.
Captain Qin felt similarly. He was usually an upright officer but powerless against Wang Shoucheng. Though he knew Xu Shanshan pointing the gun at Wang Shoucheng was inappropriate, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He also found himself inexplicably admiring Xu Shanshan, the beautiful young girl.
Just then, Captain Qin’s phone rang. As soon as he answered and heard the voice on the other end, his expression changed. He quickly walked to the side, though everyone’s focus remained on Xu Shanshan and Wang Shoucheng rather than him.
"Shanshan, don’t act impulsively. Killing someone is against the law," Xu Shanshan’s mother cried out in panic, rushing forward to intervene, fearing Xu Shanshan might fire a shot that would hit Wang Shoucheng in the head. That would cause huge trouble, regardless of how much Wang Shoucheng deserved death. But it mattered who pulled the trigger.
Xu Zhenguo snapped out of his shock and hurriedly said, "Shanshan, put the gun down now."
Their pleas instantly emboldened Wang Shoucheng. He sneered and said, "Xu Zhenguo, you’ve truly raised a fine daughter."
Xu Zhenguo’s lips twitched but ignored Wang Shoucheng. Instead, he turned to Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, let the country’s laws deal with him. We can’t take justice into our own hands."
Xu Shanshan gave Wang Shoucheng a cold glance and then turned to her parents, saying, "Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’m not that foolish. This man’s life isn’t worth much. Why would I trade mine for his?"
