Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

The person who came was Xie Wendong. Although he hated Wentao to the core and wanted to kill him, he was not stupid!

He was ready to run! If he could kill him, that would be even better! If not, he would retreat quickly!

They were dressed casually, but their eyes betrayed hostility. Wentao's heartbeat quickened, but he tried to remain calm, quietly observing his surroundings, looking for a possible escape route.

"Mingyue, wait here for a moment. I'll go over there and see if there are any fresh specialties."

Wentao found an excuse and tried to lead Jian Mingyue away from the potential danger area.

A loud "bang" broke the tranquility of the street.

As soon as Wentao approached Jian Mingyue, Gouzi opened fire. The bullets from the homemade shotgun he was carrying sprayed out in an umbrella shape, making it very difficult to dodge!

"Be careful!" Wen Tao shouted almost subconsciously, and at the same time pounced on Jian Mingyue, trying to use his body to block the sudden bullet for her.

However, the shotgun's power was so immense that even with Wen Tao's quick reaction, it was difficult to completely avoid it. As the gunshot rang out, the air around them seemed to freeze.

People on the street screamed in terror and fled in all directions.

Wentao only felt a powerful force hitting his body, and pain spread instantly.

But he gritted his teeth and protected Jian Mingyue tightly to prevent her from getting hurt.

Xie Wendong watched as his attack had already hit Wentao, and only one thought came to his mind: "Retreat!"

He knew that although this blow would not kill Wentao, it would at least seriously injure him.

His purpose was very clear, which was to make Wen Tao suffer at least a lot of damage if he didn't die.

At this time, the vehicle that came to pick them up had arrived. Xie Wendong pulled the dog without hesitation and ran towards the car.

However, Wentao didn't give up easily. He endured the excruciating pain and clung to Xie Wendong's waist, refusing to let go. "Gouzi, shoot him quickly! Make him let go!" Xie Wendong shouted anxiously.

Gou Zi quickly raised the gun in his hand and aimed at Wen Tao.

However, because the two were too close, Gouzi was unable to pull the trigger. "Boss, I can't shoot. You two are too close!" Gouzi said nervously.

Hearing the gunshots, Guo Songwen, who was "shopping" nearby, felt his heart tighten. He realized that something big might have happened.

So he immediately called together other members of the investigation team and rushed to the scene of the incident.

"Don't move! Police!" Guo Songwen shouted, raising his Type 54 military pistol and aiming at the people inside the car. The other Public Security Bureau comrades in the investigation team also drew their guns from their waists, ready to respond to any possible danger.

When Xie Wendong heard the scolding, his face suddenly changed.

He realized that his plan had been completely exposed and it was impossible to escape.

He glared at Wentao fiercely, his eyes full of resentment and anger, but finally gave up struggling helplessly.

Several police officers from the investigation team quickly stepped forward and, together, restrained Xie Wendong, Gou Zi, and the other driver, handcuffing them. The entire process was tense and orderly, with no incidents.

"Are you okay, Mingyue?" Wentao asked anxiously, enduring the severe pain in his body.

The shotgun's bullets were all steel balls, hitting him like a dense rain of raindrops, causing him excruciating pain. Wen Tao felt as if his entire body was falling apart, and every inch of his skin was piercing with pain.

But fortunately, these steel balls did not cause too much damage, just some skin injuries, and no injuries to the muscles and bones.

There was also a long scratch on Jian Mingyue's arm, and blood slowly seeped out, staining her white sleeves red.

A closer look revealed that the scar was clearly caused by a shotgun pellet. Jian Mingyue shook her head, tears welling in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine..." Before she could finish her words, she burst into tears.
