Chapter 915: Infighting

As for what serious consequences this would cause, Wang An didn't care.

Mainly, in Wang An's view, whether fighting or going to war, one must always adhere to the most important principle: "Strike first to gain the advantage, strike later and suffer."

What's more, the opponent was about to draw a gun; if he didn't strike, wouldn't he be a pure idiot?

Things like "the big picture," "having a grand vision," or "paying attention to influence," etc., can all go to hell.

What does that have to do with me? Only my own life is the most important.

Sun Nian and the two squadron leaders subconsciously looked toward Wang An after hearing the gunshot.

And clearly, all three of them were more or less unhappy.

However, upon seeing that box cannon, the unhappiness of the three instantly vanished.

As for the expressions of the three, Wang An didn't even glance at them, because after firing, he immediately lunged forward and kicked the guy who was howling while holding his wrist.

It must be said, Wang An's powerful kick sent the guy flying two or three meters away.

There was no other way; Wang An was truly afraid that this guy would use his good hand to pick up the gun and take a shot at him.

Picking up the box cannon, Wang An didn't delay, ran very quickly to the side of the guy he had kicked down, raised his big foot, and kicked the guy's upper body regardless of anything else.

It wasn't that Wang An didn't want to kick the guy's lower body; it was mainly because the guy had something tied to his leg, and one kick would make him hurt for a long time.

All of this happened from the moment Sun Nian and Wang An's group suddenly moved to the present moment where Wang An was kicking the guy for his life; it would feel slow in words, but in fact, it all happened in a very short time.

So, just as Wang An was enjoying the kicking, those police officers finally reacted and ran over one after another to take over these four people.

Soon, under the unfriendly questioning of the officers, one of them quickly spilled the beans, telling everyone that they were also loan sharks.

And the reason the four of them came here was because they had just finished collecting a debt and wanted to report the situation to their boss while bringing the money back.

In short, they were not wronged.

After confirming that their boss and the four people with very good marksmanship were all in the courtyard, Sun Nian had two of the officers guard the four of them.

Only then did Wang An have the opportunity to check what on earth was tied to the leg of the guy he had crippled with one shot.

But after Wang An rolled up his pant leg to check, he was quite surprised.

Because what was tied to his leg was a knife, and a real antique knife with some history.

This knife was made very exquisitely, the scabbard was also very exquisite, and it was inlaid with agate and turquoise, looking like a product from the grasslands.

If ten or twenty years passed, this knife should be worth quite a lot of money.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang An directly stuffed this knife into his satchel, muttering to himself:

"This knife is quite good; it can be used for skinning rabbits in the future."

With Sun Nian's face, and since it was just a knife, others didn't say anything.

Immediately after, according to the original plan, a group of officers surrounded the courtyard.

Then, the squadron leader surnamed Zhou began to shout toward the inside of the courtyard.

"People inside, listen up! We are from the county public security bureau. You have been surrounded. We now demand that you immediately put down your weapons, walk out of this courtyard, and accept our investigation. Do not make meaningless resistance and cause unnecessary casualties. We are based on..."

It must be said that Wang An was too familiar with this set of rhetoric; mainly because he had heard it countless times in his past life.

It was just that what made Wang An puzzled was, when did this set of rhetoric start? It seemed that police in every place said the same thing.

But it must be admitted that when ordinary people hear this set of rhetoric—or more accurately, people who haven't done anything wrong—they actually don't feel anything.

But when people who have done wrong hear it, they will have a sense of psychological pressure.

After Captain Zhou shouted twice, he heard someone in the courtyard shout loudly:

"What wrong have we done? We didn't kill anyone, and we didn't set any fires. By what right are you catching us?"

Perhaps in the eyes of these loan sharks, when they hold IOUs, only killing and arson are crimes; things like beating people, robbing people, and robbing things are all justified.

Anyway, when they are collecting debts, doing any extreme things is reasonable.

Captain Zhou shouted very seriously:

"We didn't say you did anything wrong. We just need you to actively cooperate with the investigation. Once the matter is clarified, we will naturally return your innocence and justice. Please do not harm yourselves."

It must be said that from beginning to end, Captain Zhou didn't say what wrong things the group in the courtyard had done, just kept emphasizing letting them come out to accept the investigation.

After Captain Zhou finished speaking, there was no movement inside, and the group of loan sharks never came out voluntarily.

Clearly, regarding the matter of coming out or not, this group of loan sharks was very conflicted.

Consequently, Captain Zhou continued to shout with the megaphone.

At this time, in a room that Wang An and the others couldn't see, this group of loan sharks was also arguing; to be precise, they were having infighting.

The boss of this group was a middle-aged man around 40 years old. From the mouths of those caught in the morning and the mouths of these four just now, it could be learned that he was called Wei Cheng and gave himself the nickname "Pixiu."

And on his two sides, on the left were two guys with fierce faces, and on the right, one had a face full of scars, and the other looked gentle and refined, not like a bad person at all.

Clearly, these four people were the four with very good marksmanship, and also the bodyguards of their boss Wei Cheng.

And opposite the five of them were more than 10 people who were usually responsible for lending and collecting debts.

At this time, the people arguing were these dozen people and the four with very good marksmanship.

The meaning of these dozen people was to come out and surrender voluntarily, while the meaning of those four was to resist to the end.

As for the boss Wei Cheng, he held a gold-made tobacco pipe and didn't speak, just smoking "puff, puff."

Finally, in a situation where no one could convince anyone, one of the dozen people couldn't help but shout:

"If you don't go out, isn't it because you have murder cases on you? What's the matter? Do you want the brothers to die with you?"

This sentence was shouted out, just like lighting the fuse of a dynamite pack, making the whole scene instantly tense.
