I have dedicated myself to my country; I will only love my country!

"Bro, did you hear something? It sounds like someone's setting off firecrackers!"

"Firecrackers my ass, that sounds like gunshots!"

"Three consecutive bangs, definitely gunshots—just like the ones in TV dramas!"

"Nonsense, that's just the sound of the dice cup hitting the table after shaking. Come on, I want more, I can still drink!"

"Officer, what exactly is going on? How about you let us leave first!"

"..."

...A few moments after the gunshots rang out, the guests in the bar who hadn't been evacuated yet became rowdy again!

Inside the private booth, after Zhou Cheng had dealt with all the armed men of the Gu Family with three shots, all the Police Officers rushed forward!

They directly subdued everyone who was left!

At the same time, they checked on the condition of Gu Beifan and the others!

... "When facing a situation where criminal gangs are holding hostages, our police department has many solutions. For example, deploying negotiation experts to temporarily meet the other party's demands..."

"Or perhaps deploying snipers to carry out a tactical strike and kill the suspects directly once they leave the bar!"

"In short, when facing a situation where suspects are holding hostages at gunpoint, we must consider all options carefully!"

Deputy Director Lu was very experienced; he spoke eloquently in front of the reporters without showing any signs of panic!

Just then, a Police Officer ran over!

"Director Lu, the problem has been resolved. Zhou Cheng killed three armed suspects; the hostage is safe and sound!"

"You see, our police department's efficiency is just that high! Sometimes time is money; if we can end a battle quickly, we definitely will!"

"We strive not to let the citizens worry even a little bit!"

Deputy Director Lu smiled, remaining calm as ever.

Hearing this, the reporter nodded in admiration—as expected of a leader.

He was just saying they needed to consider things carefully, and now he immediately changed his tune!

Meanwhile, Deputy Director Lu was already secretly astonished!

The snipers were still on their way, yet the armed suspects had already been dealt with?

By whom?

Zhou Cheng? He has that kind of skill?

He's from the Public Security Brigade; he's not even a Criminal Police officer!

Deputy Director Lu didn't linger any longer and quickly walked toward the interior of the bar!

The reporter followed right behind him!

This event was enough to lock down the trending searches for the next week!

...Inside the booth, other colleagues were handling the remaining matters.

As for Zhang Yuanyuan, they all tacitly agreed to let Zhou Cheng comfort her and untie her.

By now, they all knew about the relationship between Zhou Cheng and Zhang Yuanyuan.

So at this moment, the first moment after the male lead saved the female lead, they didn't want to spoil Zhou Cheng's fun.

Some colleagues were even waiting for Zhou Cheng to rush to Zhang Yuanyuan and pull her into his arms!

And then tenderly deliver a line.

"Darling, I'm here! I'll always be here!"

"No matter if you're at the ends of the earth, as long as you're hurt even a little, I will appear, take you in my arms, and protect you well!"

Anyway, that's how it's always played out in TV dramas and movies!

This made Zhou Cheng, who could tell their general thoughts through physiognomy, feel a bit of a breakdown!

No, what the hell are you guys imagining!

What the f*ck do you mean 'I'm here, I'll always be here'!

Helpless, Zhou Cheng put away his pistol and slowly stepped forward to rescue Zhang Yuanyuan, untying the ropes that bound her!

Having just regained her freedom, Zhang Yuanyuan immediately threw her arms around Zhou Cheng!

Tears blurred her eyes.

"Zhou Cheng, let's get married. Seriously, I don't want anything else, I just want to be with you."

"Uh..."

At that moment, Deputy Director Lu happened to walk in with the reporter.

And the photographer just happened to capture the image of Zhang Yuanyuan tightly hugging Zhou Cheng!

Zhou Cheng was wearing a suit, his tall stature appearing broad and dependable.

Zhang Yuanyuan was wearing a long dress, her tear-streaked face looking like tears of joy after a marriage proposal!

The photographer thought to himself, what a romantic scene.

Zhou Cheng felt the lens and looked over!

His brow furrowed slightly. What the hell is romantic about this?

Did the person involved even agree?

"Sorry, Ms. Zhang, we broke up a long time ago, so you'd better not ask me to marry you," Zhou Cheng rejected her decisively.

Although Zhang Yuanyuan was indeed very beautiful, he still couldn't act recklessly.

After all, in this world, even cheats like Inner Voice existed; who knows if other short-drama protagonists had even more Heaven-Defying cheats.

While it wasn't to say all protagonists were his enemies, being cautious was ultimately a good thing.

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhang Yuanyuan held onto him tightly and wouldn't let go.

"No, I don't believe you could forget your feelings for me!"

"I actually don't have any feelings for you," Zhou Cheng said honestly.

"Then why did you risk coming here alone? Why did you agree to cooperate with them? Wasn't it for me? Doesn't this prove that you still love me!" Zhang Yuanyuan questioned him rapidly.

"For the first-class merit!"

"I did all this just for the first-class merit! They are a drug trafficking ring; as long as I arrest them, I can get a personal first-class merit!" Zhou Cheng spoke the truth.

"I don't believe you!" Zhang Yuanyuan shook her head.

See, when I tell the truth, you don't believe it.

"Besides..." Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Besides what?" Zhang Yuanyuan pressed.

"I have already dedicated my body to the nation, I only love my country!" Zhou Cheng said firmly.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with that now!

However, upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanyuan burst out laughing.

"I knew you still had me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have made up such an excuse!"

Huh?

...On the other side of the booth, Zhuang Yi specifically checked the bodies of Gu Beifan and the others, then approached Deputy Director Lu with a serious expression.

"Director Lu, the three armed men are all dead. Moreover, they were all headshots—killed with a single bullet!"

*Hiss!*

Deputy Director Lu immediately looked at Zhou Cheng in shock!

He remembered that the gun issued to Zhou Cheng was just a standard-issue police pistol, right?

Zhou Cheng actually managed to pull off three headshots with that gun? Especially when the other side had a hostage!
