The event happened so suddenly that even Qian Cangyi, who had just saved the three people, was feeling somewhat dreamlike, as if everything happening now was a part of a dream.
The sound of the skull falling to the ground echoed under the night sky, heralding the arrival of reality.
"Don't shoot!" Qian Cangyi shouted.
He didn't know if the policeman with the gun had unlatched the safety, and he was unsure whether these police could restrain their anger, blaming their comrade's death on themselves. All he could do was to make a declaration in advance.
However, a gun still fired.
The bullet hurtled towards them at nearly 400m/s, but due to a lack of precise aim and the fact that they were half squatting or half lying on the ground, the bullet didn't hit them but instead struck the door frame behind them.
The deafening sound left them with ringing in their ears.
Simultaneously, the police officer who fired the shot had been stopped by his colleagues.
