I knew you wouldn't give up on Zhang Yuanyuan!

Although it hadn't even been ten minutes, the changes within that time were something no one on Gu Beifan's side expected!

Clearly, Zhou Cheng had already agreed to cooperate! Clearly, they had victory within their grasp...

As long as Zhou Cheng agreed to cooperate and they injected their goods into Zhou Chengs Family's industries, they would have completely dragged Zhou Cheng down with them.

When that time came, they could even threaten Zhou Cheng, use the Zhou Family's ships for transport, and even use the Zhou Family to launder their money and go legit!

It could be said to be a total victory!

But at this moment, they didn't expect a group of Police Officers to burst directly into the private booth!

They were surrounded inside the booth, with no possibility of escape!

"Zhou Cheng! What exactly do you mean by this?"

"You want Zhang Yuanyuan to die, don't you?!"

"Hurry up, tell all the police to leave and let us go! Otherwise, I'll definitely kill her right in front of you!"

Gu Beifan gripped Zhang Yuanyuan's neck tightly, making her unable to move!

His face was hideous; he had pinned all his hopes on Zhang Yuanyuan!

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng said nothing.

He remained calm.

Captain Zhuang Yi looked at the situation before him; for a moment, he didn't know how to handle it!

In the command vehicle outside the bar, Deputy Director Lu also had a worried expression.

This afternoon, when Zhou Cheng brought him the evidence of the illegal activities of Gu Beifan's family and the entire Gu Family gang, he had been immediately excited!

But at that time, he also knew that the reason the Gu Family had always existed was partly because evidence was hard to obtain, and partly because the Gu Family was extremely cunning.

Their counter-reconnaissance abilities were extremely strong! If they didn't have absolute certainty they could catch the entire Gu Family in one net, acting prematurely would only alert the enemy!

At that time, Zhou Cheng had taken the initiative to volunteer, saying he could go to the meeting and feign cooperation so that all the Gu Family's decision-makers would be present! Then they could catch them all in one fell swoop!

When Deputy Director Lu heard Zhou Cheng's plan back then, he was shocked and even tried to persuade Zhou Cheng not to take the risk!

After all, Zhou Cheng wasn't just a Police Officer!

At the same time, Deputy Director Lu couldn't figure out for the life of him why a young master from a wealthy family like Zhou Cheng was working so hard.

Even after his persuasion, he couldn't sway him!

Fortunately, according to the original plan, the Gu Family shouldn't have been too cautious about going to the meeting, since it was the Gu Family who had sent the message first!

He didn't expect that Gu Beifan and the others would actually bring Zhang Yuanyuan as a hostage!

And they even had handguns!

With the other party holding a hostage and having handguns, things became complicated!

Now, they first had to ensure the safety of the hostage, and secondly, the safety of their own Police Officers!

If they were to engage in a close-range gunfight at will, even if they eventually shot the suspects, their side would definitely suffer heavy casualties!

Such a consequence was unacceptable to the police department!

"Gu Beifan, don't be impulsive! You should know that taking a hostage only adds to your crimes. If you release the hostage and surrender your weapons now, we can show leniency in your sentencing!" Zhuang Yi shouted.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beifan cursed with a face full of disdain.

"Don't give me that bullshit. 'Confess and you'll rot in jail, resist and you'll be home for New Year'—you think I don't know that?"

After cursing, he looked at Zhou Cheng again!

"Zhou Cheng, I told you to hurry up and speak! Make all the police leave and let us go! Are you deaf?!"

After he spoke, Zhuang Yi looked at Zhou Cheng.

At the same time, he was also waiting for Deputy Director Lu's instructions!

Zhang Yuanyuan felt her neck being squeezed so hard she had trouble breathing!

Looking at the current situation, she felt immense pain in her heart.

One was the true love she had longed for in her past life, and now he was holding a gun, using her as a hostage!

The other was the husband she had loathed in her past life, yet now he had sacrificed so much for her and had been protecting her all along.

"Zhou Cheng, don't worry about me, Zhou Cheng! Really, don't worry about me anymore! Just fire! Fire!!!"

Zhang Yuanyuan used all her strength to shout at Zhou Cheng!

However, this scene and these words made Zhou Cheng frown.

It felt a bit familiar; had this Old Zhou become Li Yunlong?

"I told you to shut up! Can't you hear me?!" Gu Beifan gritted his teeth and cursed at Zhang Yuanyuan!

... "What's the situation now? A police raid on the street?"

"Raid your ass! With this many police, it's just a street raid? Look closely, they're all geared up with bulletproof vests and submachine guns!"

"Holy crap, so many police? Did someone freaking kill someone?"

"I was just here to dance... wait, they're playing this big?"

"Brother, I've already put my hands behind my head and crouched down!"

"I just saw the Second Young Master of the Zhou Family come in. Could he be the one who called the police?"

"The Second Young Master of the Zhou Family?"

"That internet celebrity cop! Damn, this kid went legit himself and now he's bringing people to bust us? Has he forgotten his roots?!"

The bar was noisy with voices, and many people couldn't help but start chatting!

They had truly never seen such a scene before!

In some other private booths, people were doing drugs and were immediately arrested by the police who suddenly burst in!

In the Great Xia, doing drugs was strictly prohibited and absolutely not allowed!

... Outside the bar.

A reporter was filming with a cameraman.

Originally, Deputy Director Lu thought this matter would go smoothly, so he had brought along the Branch Bureau's Propaganda Department and called reporters to film!

After all, taking down a drug trafficking gang was a huge achievement!

Everyone participating in the operation could potentially receive a Collective Second-Class Merit!

Only now, something had gone wrong.

"Director Lu, what is the situation now? Have we successfully arrested the Gu Family criminal gang?"

Deputy Director Lu was a bit embarrassed at this moment!

"Well, the situation is still a bit tense. We originally intended to feign cooperation and catch them off guard, but they were surprisingly cautious. They were actually carrying illegal firearms and have taken a hostage!"

"So, prioritizing the safety of the hostage, we must make further plans!"

"..."

Deputy Director Lu carefully dealt with the reporter, but fortunately, this wasn't a live broadcast; otherwise, he'd probably be scolded by netizens... Inside the booth.

Zhou Cheng stared at the opposite side with calm composure!

Currently, there were eight people in the Gu Family gang! Among them, Gu Qingfeng, Gu Beifan, and Gu Nanfeng had guns. Besides them, the other five had no guns and were holding glass beer bottles!

Zhou Cheng could guess that the Gu Family had guns, but he didn't expect them to be carrying them even at a time like this!

However, Zhou Cheng remained calm!

"Release her, and I'll have the police withdraw. I'll also prepare a plane for you to leave the country tonight, plus 100 million dollars!" Zhou Cheng said.

Then he looked at Captain Zhuang beside him: "Captain Zhuang, let the brothers withdraw first. He has a hostage..."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yi knew that for now, this was the only option.

He waved his hand.

On the opposite side, the Gu Family heard Zhou Cheng's words and saw Zhuang Yi ordering the retreat.

They were slightly delighted, and Gu Beifan even began to grin hideously!

"Zhou Cheng, I knew it! You definitely wouldn't give up on Zhang Yuanyuan! I was already prepared for you to bring the police!"

And in that brief moment of their relaxation!

Bang!

Bang, bang!

A gunshot rang out, followed immediately by two more!

It instantly shattered the situation in the booth!

A bullet hole appeared in Gu Beifan's forehead, and the armed Gu Qingfeng and Gu Nanfeng were both shot! All headshots!

The three of them collapsed instantly!

He had long ago obtained the reward of Firearms Mastery.

He hadn't expected to only have the chance to use it now!
