Have you thought this through? Don't you have a wife and children? Don't you have parents or elderly relatives?

Then, he addressed the villagers present,

"I'll say it again, Ding Dayong is a wanted criminal, and our arrest of him is legal and justified."

He's already killed two people. Do you think you'll be safe in your village with him around?

The villagers present then realized what was happening and quickly stepped back.

Seeing the villagers' reaction, Gao Chao and Chen Xincheng were overjoyed; the situation was finally under control.

Li Dawei and Yang Shu were filled with admiration for Wu Mingcheng, who had turned the tide at the crucial moment.

Otherwise, they would probably have perished in Dingjia Village.

Then, Wu Mingcheng went to the elderly couple and said,

"I ask you, do you know that your son is a wanted criminal?"

You have been harboring your son and preventing him from turning himself in. You think it's for his own good, but you're actually harming him. Do you know that?

If you continue to let him escape, and he commits further crimes while on the run, his offenses will become more serious.

"At that time, your son will spend the rest of his life behind bars, or even face the death penalty."

The elderly couple hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that the surrounding villagers had stopped moving, Wu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Now he needed to figure out a way to get out.

At this moment, he shouted loudly,

"Where is your village chief? Such a big thing happened in the village, and he hasn't even shown up?"

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Wait, wait, I'm the village chief,"

A man who looked like a village official in his fifties ran over through the crowd, and Gao Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The village chief angrily berated the villagers.

"Are you all looking for death? How dare you surround the police? Old Ding's son committed murder and broke the law, didn't you know? Get your asses back home right now!"

With the help of village officials, the villagers gradually dispersed.

The village chief approached Wu Mingcheng and Gao Chao, assuming Wu Mingcheng was in charge.

He quickly said to Wu Mingcheng,

"Officer, I'm so sorry, we're from a poor, remote area and not very educated. Please forgive us."

Wu Mingcheng turned his gaze to Gao Chao, who then spoke.

"We don't have much time, let's get out of here!"

Therefore, Gao Chao, Wu Mingcheng, Chen Xincheng, and the others immediately ran out of the village, met up with the police car, got in, and drove away.

Once they were on the bus, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; this had truly been far too dangerous.

After getting on the bus, Gao Chao, fearing that Wu Mingcheng might have some reservations, took the initiative to explain,

"Mingcheng, the law doesn't punish everyone for this kind of thing, and there aren't any surveillance cameras in the village."

We have no way to hold the person who hit us accountable; we can only swallow our anger and suffer in silence.

Wu Mingcheng looked at Gao Chao and said,

"It's alright, Director Gao, I understand. You don't need to explain to me."

At this climax, Gao Chao felt that Wu Mingcheng was extremely satisfactory. In comparison, Li Dawei and Yang Shu were simply incomparable.

Chen Xincheng then turned to look at Wu Mingcheng and said with concern,

"Mingcheng, how are your injuries? Are you alright?"

Because of what happened tonight, Li Dawei greatly admired Wu Mingcheng and was also very grateful to him.

He stepped forward to check Wu Mingcheng's injury and discovered that there was blood seeping through Wu Mingcheng's short-sleeved shirt.

He quickly said,

"Sir Gao, Mingcheng is bleeding,"

Gao Chao hurriedly lifted Wu Mingcheng's clothes and saw that there was indeed a patch of blood.

The wound looked quite frightening, but Wu Mingcheng knew it was nothing serious.

He said,

"Director Gao, Uncle Chen, it's alright, don't delay important matters,"

Gao Chao said directly,

“What’s the delay? We’ve already caught Ding Dayong, the traitor. We’ll be back by tomorrow morning. Your injury can’t be left untreated.”

So he said to the driver in front,

"Okay, let's find a nearby hospital to get Mingcheng bandaged up first,"

Yang Shu sat at the back next to Li Dawei. He felt extremely ashamed when he saw that Wu Mingcheng had been injured because of him.

At this moment, Ding Dayong was handcuffed to his seat.

Yang Shu glanced at the suspect, then at Wu Mingcheng in the front row, and finally spoke in a low voice.

"Shuo Gao, Mingcheng, I'm sorry for what happened just now,"

Gao Chao was very angry about Yang Shu's behavior today, and simply closed his eyes and mumbled a reply.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Chapter 234 Naive Poplar Tree

Wu Mingcheng clearly didn't want to deal with Yang Shu either; if it weren't for Yang Shu's actions, they wouldn't have had so much trouble.

Yang Shu probably felt in his heart that what he did was quite reasonable and that he hadn't done anything wrong.

His textbooks had always taught him that law enforcement should not only be forceful but also compassionate, imbued with empathy, protecting and respecting the vulnerable, and understanding the difficulties of others.

He never considered that Ding Dayong had already committed two crimes, yet his parents had been protecting him. Does such a person really deserve sympathy?

He then began to explain.

"This is my opinion: no matter what crime Ding Dayong committed, his parents are innocent."

"Isn't it a bit cruel of us to take him away like this, ignoring the old man's life or death?"

Listening to Yang Shu's words, Wu Mingcheng couldn't help but feel that he was somewhat like the Virgin Mary.

He opened his mouth and said,

"Yang Shu, do you understand what priorities are? Tell me, what is the mission of this operation?"

 16 Under Wu Mingcheng's watchful gaze, Yang Shu sat there, silent for a long time.

Gao Chao and Chen Xincheng, along with other veteran police officers, noticed Yang Shu's behavior. Indeed, Yang Shu's mental fortitude was far inferior to Wu Mingcheng's.

Wu Mingcheng then looked at Li Dawei beside him and asked,

"Dawei, tell me, what is the purpose of this mission?"

Li Dawei glanced at the poplar tree and then said,

"The objective of our mission is to apprehend the wanted criminal Ding Dayong,"

Wu Mingcheng then looked at Yang Shu and said,

"Yang Shu, did you hear that? Our mission is to apprehend wanted criminals, not to have you care for the elderly."

Before Gao Suo and Uncle Chen took action, they repeatedly emphasized obeying orders and following commands.

Can you tell me what you were doing when Director Gao told you to leave?

Yang Shu was rendered speechless by Wu Mingcheng's question.

“I…………I………………”

But he still clung to his own ideas, stubbornly insisting that...

"However, while carrying out our mission, we must also pay attention to humanitarian considerations,"

Even veteran police officers like Gao Chao and Chen Xincheng, and even Li Dawei, found Yang Shu's words somewhat incomprehensible.

Wu Mingcheng sneered, thinking to himself, "This poplar tree is incredibly naive."

He said directly,

"You think Ding Dayong's parents are pitiful? Have you thought about the families of the two people Ding Dayong killed?"

Aren't they pitiful? Their own loved ones have died, and Ding Dayong is still at large.

Have you ever thought about us? Because of your actions today, a group of us almost perished in Dingjia Village.

I think you should go to a charity to care for the elderly and children, not work at the police station.

I'm begging you, next time if you're looking to die, please don't drag us down with you, okay?

Hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Yang Shu was somewhat unhappy, but he also knew that he might have indeed made a mistake today.
