Chapter 990: Chapter 990: New Clues
Su Xiaorou felt a bit afraid when she saw Mu Anhan.
Su Ziliang calmed her emotions and then greeted Mu Anhan, "Mrs. Gu, we meet again."
Likewise, Mu Anhan was somewhat surprised by the appearance of the siblings.
She nodded, "Hello!"
Su Xiaorou just wanted to talk to Xue Xiangtong alone, so Su Ziliang waited outside with Mu Anhan.
"I heard you resigned from ’Talk of the Day’?" Mu Anhan looked at him.
"’Talk of the Day’ wasn’t suitable for me." Su Ziliang smiled faintly.
Mu Anhan nodded, "I didn’t expect your fallout with ’Talk of the Day’ to start with criticizing Pei Wei."
"It proves that I am still a journalist with a conscience." Su Ziliang said with slight excitement.
"That’s indeed the case. What are your plans for the future?" Mu Anhan took a sip of tea.
"I might take care of Xiao Rou for a while before deciding." Su Ziliang’s voice drifted slightly, "I beseech you not to reveal Xiao Rou’s true identity, okay?"
"Of course, no problem." Mu Anhan nodded, "Her courage to expose Pei Wei’s misdeeds is already commendable."
Su Ziliang remained silent, sipping his tea.
When Xue Xiangtong finished the recording, and she came out with Su Xiaorou, her eyes were red.
"Han Han, I’m taking her for injury assessment." Xue Xiangtong said.
"Go ahead!" Mu Anhan nodded.
After they left, Mu Anhan noticed Su Ziliang clenching his fists, struggling to control his emotions.
"Let’s go too!" Mu Anhan suddenly remembered something, "Wait for me, I’ll inform the captain."
She ran into Firebird’s office, "Captain, I need to borrow a gun."
Firebird immediately said, "Are you worried someone wants to silence Su Xiaorou?"
"Yes!" Mu Anhan nodded, "The first deceased, Yang Lili, and Su Xiaorou share similarities."
"Let’s go!" Firebird tossed her a gun, "Catch!"
The two of them walked out together, Firebird asking a colleague for another gun.
Su Ziliang realized something too, his face turning pale, "Is Xiao Rou in danger?"
Mu Anhan jumped into the car and immediately called Xue Xiangtong, "Tong Tong, stay alert, someone might try to harm Su Xiaorou..."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard "bang bang" sounds.
"Tong Tong... Tong Tong..."
She worried about Xue Xiangtong too, since Xue Xiangtong had just recovered from a gunshot wound and now faced another shootout.
"Let’s go quickly!" Firebird said, then called for reinforcements from the team.
When they arrived, several men in black lay on the ground, some dead, some still breathing.
"Tong Tong..."
"Xiao Rou..."
Mu Anhan jumped out of the car, anxiously calling out.
Su Ziliang also immediately looked for his sister.
Xue Xiangtong opened the police car door, "We’re fine."
She shielded Su Xiaorou beneath her, "Someone helped us! But the shooter is hidden, I don’t know what they look like!"
Firebird checked the injuries, "The shooter used a modified air gun. Though these glass marbles aren’t real bullets, they’re still lethal."
"The shooter’s aim is also very precise." Mu Anhan looked at the bullet holes, "I estimate the range is beyond 50 meters."
Firebird nodded appreciatively, acknowledging her intelligence. After Gu Xiaozhan taught her once, she understood more than anyone.
At this moment, Su Ziliang held Su Xiaorou in his arms, comforting her.
However, Mu Anhan felt that they seemed to know something...
