Official Career Storm
Chapter 571

Chapter 571: Chapter 571

Snipers generally need an observer equipped with them, a professional observer can provide very precise environmental data, such as wind direction, wind speed, humidity, and other information.

The sniper making adjustments to the sniper rifle based on this information is a critical step because it directly determines whether the target will be hit.

The moment Liang Jiajia walked into the kindergarten, the observer’s eyes never left the scope.

He was just about to report the information when—

A gunshot abruptly rang out.

Through the scope, Lu Xiaotian’s forehead sprouted a bloody hole, and the glass wall behind him was sprayed with red and white blood and brain matter.

The observer was shocked on the spot.

"Fuck!"

He put down the scope, looked up, and after hearing Song Guanchao throw down a furious curse, he discarded his gun and sprinted downstairs.

The sniper, seeing him shoot, was equally startled and quickly grabbed the scope to take a look.

He only saw Lu Xiaotian’s body go limp and fall to the ground as a swarm of police stormed into the kindergarten.

The sniper asked, "What happened? Did you hit him?"

The observer nodded in shock, "A headshot with a single bullet!"

A standing position, supporting with one hand, nearly four hundred meters away, and it was pitch-black at night. Without the observer reporting information, and without pre-adjusting the scope, a headshot with a single bullet!

The sniper swallowed hard, "Is Secretary Song from the military?"

"I don’t know."

This was too awesome!

Among all the snipers they knew, none could make a headshot in such conditions.

Not to mention making a headshot, there were hardly a few who dared to decisively shoot when the villain still held a child in his arms, surrounded by several hostages.

This Secretary Song had guts too big, and his composure was frightening.

...

The instant the gunshot sounded, Liang Jianfeng was the first to charge in.

Song Guanchao’s angry roar over the walkie-talkie pushed his anxiety to the extreme.

He was a veteran police officer, had served as a beat cop, and had been a detective; he was no stranger to guns, even sensitive to them.

Just in that instant, others might have only heard a single gunshot, but he was clear that there were two shots.

Two shots fired simultaneously, overlapping each other.

One shot was fired by Song Guanchao.

But who fired the other one?

Liang Jianfeng was very nervous and panicked; he actually guessed it from Song Guanchao’s roar, but he didn’t dare to face it.

As he rushed in, from a distance, he saw Lu Xiaotian collapsed on the ground, the ambassador’s daughter pinned under his body, wailing loudly.

Liu Lanzi and a female teacher were so scared at the sound of gunfire that they crouched on the ground, clutching the children tightly in their arms.

Where is my daughter?

He saw her!

Liang Jiajia was kneeling on the ground, head bowed, still.

"Jiajia!"

He ran over, seeing his daughter’s abdomen soaked red with blood.

"Fuck you, Lu Zhizhong, god damn it!"

Secretary Lu, just about to enter, heard the curse and, composed as he was, hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Yuan and others looked at him; Zheng Bihui silently stepped back.

They knew something had gone wrong.

Secretary Lu took a deep breath and still walked in.

The incident had already happened; fleeing was of no use.

He took the lead into the kindergarten and saw the young policewoman being held by Liang Jianfeng, saw her abdominal gunshot wound, and inwardly cursed ’damn it.’

But soon, he saw Lu Xiaotian lying in a pool of blood.

He rushed over, pushed Lu Xiaotian aside, and held the little girl up, examining her inside and out, making sure there were no injuries, before he finally took a deep breath of relief.

He noticed Lin Wanqiu and Zhou Qian coming in, holding onto their cellphones.

He deliberately stained his hands with Lu Xiaotian’s blood and pretended to wipe his face, smearing it with fresh blood.

Then holding the little girl, he stood up, faced Lin Wanqiu, and forced a smile of fulfillment, "We’ve taken down the criminal and saved the children!"

Zheng Bihui also hurried forward and stood by his side, adding, "No hostages were injured!"

Lin Wanqiu frowned, shifted the camera away, and aimed it at Liang Jianfeng.

Director Qin reacted swiftly, pulling out his cell phone to quickly record the heroic front presented by Secretary Lu and Zheng Bihui.

Song Guanchao ran wildly from a distance, bursting into the kindergarten.

Seeing Liang Jiajia faint in Liang Jianfeng’s arms, his face was livid.

He tried to suppress the rage in his heart, quickly checked Liang Jiajia’s wound, and bellowed, "Where is the ambulance?"

Hu Zhengrong, who had followed in, said, "It’s waiting outside the alert area."

Song Guanchao pursed his lips, snatched Liang Jiajia from the suddenly aged Liang Jianfeng’s embrace, and holding her, charged out like a whirlwind.

Watching the urgent and angry Song Guanchao, Wu Qiangwei’s eyes flickered, then she followed after him.

After whispering a few words to Zhou Qian, Lin Wanqiu also followed.

Liang Jiajia was loaded into the ambulance, and the medical staff administered first aid to stop the bleeding.

With the traffic police clearing the way, the ambulance arrived at the hospital within minutes, and Liang Jiajia was rushed into the emergency room.

Song Guanchao stood outside the emergency room, his expression dark and ominous, his murderous rage palpable even from a distance.

Wu Qiangwei wanted to come forward to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Lin Wanqiu had fewer reservations and approached, saying, "Secretary Song, don’t blame yourself, this isn’t your fault."

Song Guanchao shook his head silently, fire dancing in his eyes, his thoughts unclear.

A dozen minutes later, Secretary Lu and others arrived one after another.

Liang Jianfeng had calmed down. He looked at Song Guanchao, standing outside the emergency room, and suddenly found himself liking the young man.

A person’s first reaction in a crisis cannot be faked.

Song Guanchao truly cared for Liang Jiajia; his affection was real.

"What did the doctor say?"

"I don’t know," Song Guanchao shook his head, looking at Secretary Lu and Zheng Bihui who were slowly approaching, and asked, "Who let her carry a gun?"

Liang Jianfeng shook his head: "Forget it."

Forget it?

Song Guanchao sneered and stepped forward, blocking the way of Secretary Lu and Zheng Bihui.

He knew that only these two could have forced Liang Jiajia to carry a gun.

"Who authorized Officer Liang to be armed?"

Secretary Lu sighed and gently patted his shoulder: "Secretary Song, you have made a great contribution today; it’s something none of us wanted to see Officer Liang get hurt..."

"I’m asking, who authorized Officer Liang to be armed!" Song Guanchao stared into his eyes, word by word, his tone very calm.

Secretary Lu felt annoyed inside. Lin Wanqiu from the Ministry of Propaganda was still here, and the media that had been blocked outside the security zone also followed.

Yet Song Guanchao was questioning him, the City Secretary, in front of so many people.

But he couldn’t afford to lose his temper.

"Secretary Song, you have worked too hard today. You should go back and rest."

Song Guanchao knew that getting an answer from such an old hand in officialdom was harder than reaching the sky.

Even if it was his decision, he wouldn’t admit it.

Song Guanchao looked back at City Secretary Wang: "Secretary Wang, I would like to make a report to you."

Secretary Wang was taken aback: "A report?"

Song Guanchao said: "The operation to arrest Lu Xiaotian was authorized by the City Committee and Municipal Government to me, and I was fully responsible."

"Before preparing for the operation, I clearly told Officer Liang Jiajia not to carry a handgun. However, someone interfered with the operation, which directly led to Lu Xiaotian becoming agitated and shooting Officer Liang Jiajia."

"I want to report this now and request that the Disciplinary Committee thoroughly investigate the matter!"

City Secretary Wang’s lips trembled—how the hell am I supposed to investigate this...

Everyone present knew that it was Zheng Bihui’s suggestion, which Lu Zhizhong had agreed with.

The faces of the two darkened; they hadn’t expected Song Guanchao to relentlessly fixate on this issue.

This man was like a mad dog.

"Secretary Song, this might be a coordination issue..."

"Is Secretary Wang unwilling to investigate?" Song Guanchao took out his phone: "If you won’t investigate, I’ll call Secretary Xu of the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee! Let the province handle this!"

"If the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee can’t find anything, then I will go to the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee. I want to know which bastard gave the order!"

He glared at Secretary Lu and Zheng Bihui and said, "This matter must have a conclusion, someone must be held accountable!"
