What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fugitive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the crowd stopped moving forward; that was a criminal suspect, and things could get troublesome if they weren't careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Guofeng is a fugitive?\" Assistant Director Li stared with wide eyes: \"How is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before the words had even faded, the sound of urgent police sirens arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wee-woo, wee-woo~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flashing red and blue police lights lit up outside the set, and immediately after, a large group of armed SWAT officers jumped out of their vehicles and swarmed over in a massive wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held rifles and riot forks in their hands, and a few SWAT officers even jumped onto the roof of a vehicle to set up a sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This formation was quite grand, leaving everyone stunned, as if they were filming an American blockbuster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cast and crew of *Lurk* were suddenly as silent as cicadas, not daring to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the paparazzi near Hengdian also sensed something unusual and came surging over frantically as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they didn't dare to approach and could only film videos and take photos from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze of the many SWAT officers locked onto Qi Hui first, as he was the one holding a rifle with a bayonet attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, before arriving, the SWAT officers knew this was a film and television base with props, and they knew the physical characteristics of the suspect, so they did not act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise... they wouldn't have opened fire with live ammunition directly, but non-lethal weapons like plastic bullets, rubber bullets, or riot guns would have been used immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing so many murderous gazes, Qi Hui felt immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He relaxed his hand and dropped the Zhongzheng rifle he was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is the person who discovered the suspect?\" A man wearing a duty uniform, who appeared to be the captain, stepped forward a few paces and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me,\" Qi Hui said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain glanced at the bound and restrained Ji Shiguang and asked: \"You subdued the suspect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming, he had looked at the fugitive's file; although he had grown fatter and older, the similar facial features were still recognizable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation was urgent; he was trying to run,\" Qi Hui explained. The three of them did not have law enforcement authority and could only be considered as having performed a righteous act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your hard work, three comrades.\" The captain gave a military salute to show his understanding and express his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a wave of his hand, two SWAT officers wearing masks ran over, hoisted Ji Shiguang up, and dragged him toward the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shiguang’s face was deathly pale, his expression numb, and his eyes unfocused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running for so long, he had ultimately failed to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the cameras, Qi Hui retrieved his belt and then somewhat awkwardly put it back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known, he should have just found a piece of rope; why did he have to use his belt...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three comrades, I would like to invite you to come back with me to give a statement.
