I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 274 - 183: Black Gun

"You say it, and I’ll definitely help."

Li Xiang held her hand tightly, at that moment her hand was frighteningly cold.

"If you can return to the country, please tell my parents that their daughter is unfilial, that she shouldn’t have been so willful and not listened to them. This life’s gratitude can only be repaid in the next; in the next life, I will still be their... daughter..."

Shengjiao slowly closed her eyes and stopped breathing.

Li Xiang clenched her hand, flames of hatred burning fiercely, and looked back to see that Daozi and his crew had already arrived and were talking to the gunman.

"Captain Chad, was it you who fired the shot? What happened?"

"I saw someone acting suspiciously trying to escape the park. I shouted for her to stop, but she ran even faster, so I fired at her."

"Did you hit her?"

"I think I did; he ducked around the corner. Go check if he’s dead."

Li Xiang’s mind raced with countermeasures, wondering if he had been exposed, and how he got exposed. He didn’t know, nor did he want to; the key now was how to get away.

He only had an electric baton and several grams of the New CH-10 Z Medicine, enough to take down a wall, but the detonator was confiscated when he entered the park.

Wait, the electric baton!

The New CH-10 Z Medicine needs high voltage, and the baton is a ready-made high-voltage supply. With a slight modification, it could be a makeshift detonator.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang now had a trump card.

It was time to take a gamble.

Shengjiao couldn’t die in vain.

Just as Daozi and his crew approached, another group arrived, including Managers Wen and Wu.

Previously, when the two managers were hiding in the shadows, they were watching to see if Shao Gang would put the woman in the car. Manager Wen was disappointed that Shao Gang didn’t do so; this was unexpected to him.

He was somewhat regretful that Shao Gang wasn’t dead.

"Didn’t you say he would definitely send her away? Where did it go wrong?"

Back then, Old Wu assured him that Shao Gang would do it, but the outcome was the opposite.

"Who can say for sure? He passed the loyalty test, which is a good thing for the park. He’s just a newcomer; you’ve followed the boss for so many years, there’s no need to worry about him taking your place. Was the shooting arranged by Chad?"

Manager Wu had a clear understanding, but he wanted to hear Manager Wen admit it himself.

And his phone was already recording, a method he used to gather evidence against others.

Although Manager Wen wasn’t as quick-witted as Manager Wu, he’d have to be a fool not to become a manager.

The follow-up shot by Chad was his idea, but why would he admit it?

So he placed all the blame on Chad.

Seeing he didn’t admit it, Manager Wu didn’t expose him but chose to play dumb to avoid directly offending Manager Wen.

And Manager Wen, to show he really didn’t know, came in angrily scolding Chad:

"Chad, what were you thinking? Why did you shoot?"

He seemed very angry.

"I saw the woman trying to run and fired in a panic. Brother Wen, my bad."

Chad took all the blame but was smart enough not to admit he intended to kill Shao Gang.

Manager Wen breathed a sigh of relief; Chad’s non-admission was best, otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

So he had to shout at the place where Li Xiang was hiding: "Gangzi, it was a misunderstanding, come out. That was just a loyalty test for you from the park, and you’ve passed."

Manager Wu chimed in as well, while Li Xiang was judging how much of what they said was true and how much was false.

He probably wasn’t exposed; if he were, Manager Wu wouldn’t have arranged for Shengjiao to escape during his night shift to see if he helped her.

This could be their loyalty test; there just happened to be an accident in between.

He had offended Chad during the body search, which resulted in a cut on his hand, so it was revenge.

In a flash of understanding, Li Xiang stood up; if he wasn’t exposed, it meant his mission hadn’t failed and could continue.

So he suppressed his inner sadness and stepped out, pretending not to know anything, and asked, "What’s going on?"

"Let me explain."

Manager Wu took over: "Every park manager undergoes a loyalty test. Your test was just now. I arranged for Shengjiao to try and escape to see if you’d help her out of affection, breaching company rules, and assist her. Congratulations, you’ve passed the test. The shot just now was a misunderstanding; Chad didn’t know we had an arrangement tonight and thought Shengjiao was trying to escape, so he shot."

As Manager Wu explained, other managers awakened by the gunshots came downstairs, fully dressed.

With gunfire in the park, management must come down to check the situation.

Especially Sister Bai, who, upon arriving and seeing the situation, asked, "What happened?"

Manager Wu had to explain again.

"Why did this escalate to a fatal accident? They’re company assets. A death is a loss for the company that shouldn’t happen, Manager Wen. The loss counts against your security department."

"Yes, Sister Bai."

After speaking, Sister Bai looked at Li Xiang and said, "Congratulations, you passed the loyalty test. Since everyone is here, I’ll announce some good news early."

As soon as Sister Bai spoke, those like Daozi who didn’t know were guessing the good news.

The managers present sighed inwardly: It was inevitable.

"The boss intends to form a new armed force to handle increasing armed crises, and Shao Gang has been chosen to lead this group. Everyone, welcome him."

"Wow, great, Brother Gang is soaring high!"

Instantly, Daozi and his crew were thrilled; as the saying goes, one person attains the Dao, and even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

As Shao Gang’s roommates, seeing him promoted meant they were the most loyal supporters.

"Gangzi, this was an accident; don’t take it to heart. Now that you’re leading the team, which woman would you not get? Why hang yourself on one tree?"

"Yes, Sister Bai, I understand, but I have one request. I’d like to handle her funeral."

"You show loyalty and courage; no problem, I’ll have Manager Wen assist you."

After Sister Bai spoke, she addressed everyone: "What happened tonight must not be spoken of outside. If I find out, I’ll tear their mouths apart. Now scatter and go rest."

"Yes, Sister Bai."

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only a few managers and Li Xiang, along with the deceased Shengjiao.

To fulfill his mission, Li Xiang didn’t confront them. Only by penetrating their inner circle could he uncover deeper secrets.

Fortunately, he had made a significant step forward.

High risks accompany high rewards; the bigger the storm, the more precious the fish.

Not only had he successfully penetrated CC Park’s management, but he also had armed forces under his command, greatly facilitating his operations in Miaowadi.

"Manager Ma, from now on, Gangzi is one of us. It’s inappropriate for him to stay in a shared dormitory, so arrange a single apartment for him. Also, give him supervisor-level benefits, and provide a company phone for communication. Everyone should actively cooperate if Gangzi needs anything, understood?"

"Understood."

Li Xiang saw Sister Bai, young and stunning, able to command all the managers present; her identity was evidently not just a finance manager.

"Gangzi, after you arrange everything tomorrow morning, come to my office, and I’ll relay the boss’s subsequent requests."

"Understood."

"It’s late, being awakened in the middle of the night is tiring. Let’s talk tomorrow; everyone go back to sleep."

After speaking, Sister Bai led the departure, followed by the other managers, leaving only Li Xiang and the deceased Shengjiao.
