Wang Qiang, acting like he was the most powerful person on earth, looked at Gu Shangse standing to the side. He pointed at him, "What's your deal? You came in, found no issues, and didn't come out to inform me."
He acted in a domineering manner, deliberately creating the illusion that Gu Shangse was his subordinate. This was particularly effective given Gu Shangse was wearing a uniform.
Especially for the survivors who had been confined to the department store since the apocalypse and were unaware of the outside situation. After experiencing the after-effects brought by Xu Daqiang, they now preferred to avoid trouble. As long as they weren't affected, they didn't care how the strong fought or vied for power. They just wanted to guard their own small corner and survive in this chaotic apocalypse.
Li Yunlong's mind was solely on his girlfriend, Zhang Miaomiao, and he ignored Wang Qiang's words. What others wanted to do was their business, as long as it didn't affect him or those he intended to protect. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind using the gun Xu Lin had given him for self-defense to teach them a lesson.
As for Chen Jiakai and Jiang Zhimin, someone would eventually deal with Wang Qiang, but it wouldn't be them.
Gu Shangse looked at Wang Qiang pointing at him. He remained silent. It wasn't that he had nothing to say, but rather that it was unnecessary and he was too lazy to bother. If not for the uniform he was wearing, he would have already taken action when they were at the villa. However, because he wore this uniform, he couldn't do anything that would dishonor it.
When Gu Shangse's gaze fell upon him, Wang Qiang felt a momentary prickle of unease. But it lasted only for an instant, disappearing as Gu Shangse looked away. Seeing that Gu Shangse was ignoring him, Wang Qiang felt the embarrassment of being snubbed in front of everyone. He lowered his hand, vowing to regain face and let everyone know who was in charge.
Thus, Wang Qiang yelled at Gu Shangse, "Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Before Gu Shangse could turn towards him, Wang Qiang looked at Liu Yang beside him. As if by telepathy, they suddenly charged at Gu Shangse, intending to subdue him and teach him a lesson.
As the tall and burly Liu Yang swung a fist towards Gu Shangse's face, the onlookers closed their eyes, fearing the bloody scene that would follow. However, Liu Yang's fist was caught by Gu Shangse barehanded when it was still some distance from his face. Then, with a twist, a 'crack' sound was heard. In pain, Liu Yang turned his back to Gu Shangse. Gu Shangse then kicked Liu Yang directly in the buttocks, sending him sprawling forward face-first into the ground with a cry of pain.
Liu Yang, lying on the ground in a pathetic state, had his hand twisted and broken by Gu Shangse, dangling uselessly behind his back. During this interval, Wang Qiang's sneak attack landed on Gu Shangse. However, Wang Qiang did not get his way. He was directly kicked to the ground by Gu Shangse, clutching his stomach and moaning in pain.
Bai Shuyi, seeing her husband being beaten without a chance to retaliate, rushed forward with her pregnant belly to protect him. She then looked at Gu Shangse, "You disgrace the people's police by attacking the very citizens you're supposed to protect. Are you worthy of this uniform?" Bai Shuyi was a master of moral blackmail.
Gu Shangse stood tall and looked down at Bai Shuyi, who was making baseless accusations. "My protection of you is conditional on you not attacking me first." "Everyone here saw that I only acted in self-defense."
