Chapter 37: Who Is to Blame If He Doesn't Believe It Himself?

Yu Cuo held the tablet close to Yu Cuo and poked his shoulder: "He's also Captain Qing's benefactor, and everyone's benefactor."

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

The detention center officer: "..."

The person sent from above: "..."

Qing Tianfeng and the detention center officer were relatively fine; after all, the two of them knew about Jiang Xiaoya's recent "great achievements." She brought disaster, but she also brought opportunity, so calling her their benefactor wasn't an exaggeration. However, the person sent from above could not understand.

"My benefactor? Heh, I'd like to see what kind of benefactor this is."

The person sent from above let out a cold laugh.

"Here, look, recognize your benefactor. Remember to be polite when you run into him in the future..."

Yu Cuo pushed the tablet in front of him, muttering for a long time before realizing this man was a stranger.

"I'm sorry..."

Yu Cuo hurriedly pulled the tablet back and apologized, while simultaneously poking Qing Tianfeng's arm and complaining, "Captain, is this an officer from the military? Why didn't you introduce him..."

"Let me introduce you. This is... an officer sent from above to assist with the case."

Yu Cuo: "..."

His eyes darted from the man in front of him to Qing Tianfeng, then back to the man, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Ultimately, it was the person sent from above who spoke first: "Jiang Xiaoya, my benefactor. I'll remember that."

"Next time we meet, I'll certainly be polite and treat him with great respect."

Yu Cuo: "..."

"No... Superior officer, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry."

Panic was visible on Yu Cuo's face.

He thought to himself, *Jiang Xiaoya can, at most, be considered the benefactor of our criminal investigation team, right?*

*The scope can't expand any further than this...*

"Now, can we begin?"

The person sent from above cast a stern gaze, looking as if to say, *I don't have time for your nonsense,* hoping he would take things seriously.

As a result, Yu Cuo, who had just been flustered and apologizing, suddenly calmed down. He shook his head at him and spoke with unusual determination: "That won't do."

The person sent from above: "..."

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

The detention center officer: "..."

People are indeed selfish; in the end, his benefactor was what mattered most.

Jiang Xiaoya followed behind the tall man, acting suspiciously the entire time. Many people looked her way, gradually raising suspicions.

"Boss, why does this woman keep looking around and staring at the brothers? Is there something wrong?"

Someone boldly approached the tall man to offer advice.

The tall man turned back to glance at Jiang Xiaoya, and she gave him an "OK" gesture.

The irritable tall man slapped his subordinate across the face: "Shut up!"

The subordinate was stunned: "..."

Someone came from behind to mediate.

The tall man cursed in a foreign language: "Stupid Dragon Country people, Dragon Country people are the stupidest humans..."

Was he implying that he had people watching them?

No, it wasn't that they didn't understand; it was precisely because they understood that they said such things. The goal was to get him to drive Jiang Xiaoya away.

Fine, he had always said they had ulterior motives, and today they had finally exposed themselves.

Jiang Xiaoya couldn't understand their gibberish, but hearing the noise, she stepped forward to alert him.

"Boss, there's movement."

The tall man quickly dropped his cursing demeanor and looked toward the main gate.

Sure enough, he saw several trucks driving in.

"Our people."

The tall man nodded to her.

Jiang Xiaoya nodded: "Understood, I'll keep watching."

"Mm."

The tall man adjusted his tie and walked toward the large trucks.

Once the vehicles stopped, the others swarmed forward to help open the trunks and inspect the goods.

Jiang Xiaoya followed, looking here and there, even striking up conversations with the guards at the gate.

The tall man ignored her; as long as she kept watch, it was fine.

Once the goods were mostly checked, they began unloading. Another twenty-odd vehicles arrived, seemingly for distribution.

After wandering around for a bit, Jiang Xiaoya returned and stood behind the tall man.

The tall man nodded to the others, signaling that they could leave.

If nothing went wrong—well, something went wrong.

The vehicles that had just left the gate hadn't gone far before they discovered they had flat tires.

Hearing his phone, the tall man hurriedly led his men out to check the situation, only to fall straight into the encirclement set by the police to draw the snake out of its hole.

"Not good, Boss, there's a traitor!"

A subordinate nearby cried out in alarm.

Just as they were speaking, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from the front.

"Drop your weapons, hands up high, surrender on the spot!"

Before anyone could react to the voice, the sound of gunfire erupted.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The shots rang out one after another.

The tall man and his accomplices: "..."

Is this how the Dragon Country handles surrenders?

This is a surrender? What kind of surrender is this!!

Didn't they say the Dragon Country police were gentle when handling cases?

Where was the gentleness?

This was a prepared execution on the spot!! And by shooting!!

The netizens in the livestream were driven mad with laughter by the reactions of the tall men.

【They are so shocked: "Isn't this a surrender? This is clearly forcing us to join the outlaws."】

【Foreigner: "If you want to kill us, just say so. There's no need, really no need."】

【Foreigner looking shocked: "So this is how the Dragon Country police are? Why is it a bit different from the rumors?"】

After a brief fierce battle, someone was quickly shot.

The tall man clutched his wounded shoulder and looked at Jiang Xiaoya, who was standing motionless beside him, casting an incomprehensible gaze at her: "Didn't you say you would take a bullet for me?"

Why are you just standing there without moving?

Jiang Xiaoya: "..."

*Damn it, how could he have believed such words?*

*He actually believed that?!*

*He believed it himself, so whose fault is it?!*

The tense atmosphere created by the fierce battle was once again swept away by the netizens.

【Damn. I'm laughing so hard I'm hitting the wall. This is too funny, hahaha.】

【Looking at the Stupid Sister's reaction, she probably forgot she even said those things herself, hahaha, how can this be so hilarious.】

【That helpless question from the foreigner reminds me of a lyric: "Have you forgotten or not forgotten, taking a bullet for me was your own promise."】

【Stupid Sister's reaction is truly trashy.】

【Stupid Sister: "I was just talking nonsense, and you actually believed it? Well... then you can't blame me."】

"I... Boss, I didn't know you would get shot."

After a brief moment of confusion, Jiang Xiaoya hurriedly stepped forward to support him. She was strong, so she simply hoisted him onto her shoulder.

"Where... where are you taking me?"

The tall man struggled.

Unsurprisingly, he couldn't break free.

Jiang Xiaoya ran off with him on her shoulder, shouting as she ran: "Taking you to the hospital! I can't let you die!"

The others, who had originally been suspicious of her, were momentarily stunned by this heart-wrenching cry.

*She is incredibly loyal!!*

Jiang Xiaoya carried the tall man a long distance away before his armed bodyguards finally reacted and chased after them.

Wait!!!

"Wrong, wrong, wrong car! Hey..."

They chased them all the way out, only to have guns pressed against their heads by people lying in ambush on both sides of the road. In the moment they were dazed, their hands were quickly twisted behind their backs, their bodies pressed against the car windows, and they were handcuffed.
