Chapter 610: The Felon Who Escaped (1)

The place Lu Ziyang asked Gu Qingjiu to meet him at wasn’t far from her current location.

Hence, she just jogged there.

When she reached Entrance C of the train station, Gu Qingjiu saw a small sedan parked there.

It was a black car with one-way car windows, such that one couldn’t see the pa.s.sengers from outside.

When Gu Qingjiu went over, the car door directly opened.

She merely went near and could already sense that the person in the car was Lu Ziyang.

When she got into the car, she saw Lu Ziyang gripping the steering wheel, a rare frown on his amicable face. Gu Qingjiu immediately asked, “What happened?”

“Something happened in the West Zone in the suburbs. Lie Feng and the rest were supposed to go on a mission, but something cropped up, and everyone in the department was deployed at the last minute. I saw that you were nearby, so I could only bring you along.”

Gu Qingjiu was enlightened.

Since even Lu Ziyang had to go personally, that meant it could be a significant affair.

“What happened in West City?”

Since Gu Qingjiu didn’t like being kept in the dark, she couldn’t help but ask.

Since they were on a mission, Lu Ziyang shouldn’t mind letting her find out about these matters, right?

“Can’t tell you the details.”

Lu Ziyang considered for a moment, then only revealed some side information to Gu Qingjiu. “I can only say that there is a dilapidated villa in the West City suburbs that was originally unoccupied, but a felon now hides there. He’s holding onto something that our department lost.”

“This felon is agile in his movements, and both of us are not his match. But I want you to shoot at him from outside. I believe this shouldn’t be a problem to you.”

With that, Lu Ziyang tossed a gun to Gu Qingjiu.

“Then why did you still ask me if I was carrying a gun over the phone earlier?”

Gu Qingjiu asked in confusion as she caught the gun.

Lu Ziyang fell silent for a while, then said, “This is the gun I use to protect myself. Also, it contains real bullets. Hence, when you fire the bullets, think carefully.”

Gu Qingjiu’s hand froze as she stroked the gun handle.

She realized that this gun wasn’t the model that she usually trained with, but a weapon with a more square and straight handle than the ones she was accustomed to using.

It seemed more suitable for men.

In it were real bullets…

Gu Qingjiu felt a little disconcerted.

It was the first time she was holding a gun with real bullets inside.

It meant that if she fired this bullet, it wouldn’t be like the shooting activities she partic.i.p.ated in in the past, where after firing a shot at someone, that person would still be alive and kicking.

She could very well claim someone’s life with this gun.

Sensing Gu Qingjiu’s silence, Lu Ziyang said in a deep voice, “Qingjiu, you understand this. Since you’ve joined our department, you’ll have to take this step sooner or later. The other party is a felon, the sort who would have a death penalty, anyway. Perhaps this will make you feel better.”

She would, after all, be killing someone.

Having been educated on safety and taught to abide by societal rules like an average person since young, one would feel a significant change in their heart now that they were being asked to kill someone.

Even if it were Gu Qingjiu, she would need some time to digest this.

This was what Lu Ziyang thought.

However, Lu Ziyang saw that Gu Qingjiu merely caressed that gun, and when she spoke, she exuded a lonely, quiet, and chilly vibe in the dark night. “I know.”

That moment, Lu Ziyang turned to look at her with a complicated expression.

The young lady merely lowered her head, her fair and porcelain-like skin glistening like jade under the moonlight.

Life was abnormally fragile.

However, for someone who had already died once, she felt no fear towards all these.
