Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When the man in the blue work clothes drew his knife and slashed down, not only did Officer Liu fail to react—since his face was still turned to the other side—even the group of menacing men in windbreakers did not have time to respond.
It was only because Captain Zhou, who had been silently observing until just then, timely reached out to help, pulling Xiao Liu by the arm forcefully, allowing him to dodge the blade. Simultaneously, he moved forward and fiercely kicked the attacker in the chest.
This kick was so powerful and heavy that it sent the man staggering backward several steps, ultimately landing on the ground with his backside.
"Sorry, I was reckless."
Beads of sweat formed on Officer Liu's forehead, but his expression remained relatively calm.
"I know you're worried about the people inside... Go ahead."
As Zhou Xingjian spoke, he had already positioned himself between them and the other group they were confronting.
