Chapter 67 Who Fired the Gun?

“Resignation?”

Lu Zhang repeated, feeling a bit bewildered.

“No, Dr. Su, why are we talking about resignation?”

“According to the regulations, you can’t fire me, or you’ll have to pay compensation!”

Su Jiang nodded lightly, indifferent as he said, “Then we’ll compensate you.”

“For the specifics, talk to Yang Ming. This isn’t my responsibility. I’m just here to cure you.”

“Based on what you said, you feel depressed when you work, so just don’t work.”

Lu Zhang’s face turned red, starting to get anxious. “No, that’s not what I meant!”

The burly figure stood up, gesturing with his hands as he said:

“I mean, I get depressed when I work, so just give me some time off!”

“How many days of leave do you need? Listen to me, your condition is serious now. You must resign, we can’t delay any longer.”

“No, I just need a few days off to get better. I know my own situation!”

“You know?”

Su Jiang’s expression changed, standing up and shouting at Lu Zhang, “Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?”

“Do you have a certificate as a psychologist?”

“Or do you have a master’s degree?”

“You dare to question me without any qualifications?”

Su Jiang then sat back down, pointing to the door, saying calmly, “Go find Yang Ming yourself and go through the resignation procedures.”

“This is the medical advice I, as the Inspectorate’s psychologist, give regarding your condition!”

“If you refuse to comply, it’s resisting treatment. When you get dismissed, don’t even think about getting any compensation!”

Lu Zhang’s expression turned extremely unpleasant. He didn’t expect the young man in front of him to be so tough.

Being asked to resign was more painful than being killed for him.

For them to be able to enter the Inspectorate, it took a tremendous amount of effort. Some even almost sacrificed their lives to be here.

Moreover, the salary and benefits at the Inspectorate were enough to make it impossible for them to give up.

“Kid, I advise you to think it over again.”

Lu Zhang’s gaze turned hostile, adding a hint of threat when looking at Su Jiang.

“I see you’re young, so I won’t hold it against you. Listen up, you have to write down my condition, including the conditions of those people who will be coming in later, exactly as I tell you.”

“Or else, I guarantee you’ll have a miserable life in the Inspectorate.”

Lu Zhang leaned close to Su Jiang’s ear, whispering like a demon, threatening him.

He wasn’t pretending anymore, he was laying his cards on the table.

He was determined to let Su Jiang know who was in charge here!

Who, was the goddamn boss of the Inspectorate!

Su Jiang, upon hearing this, showed no change in expression. He merely glanced at the pistol on Lu Zhang’s waist.

Official personnel of the Inspectorate were allowed to carry a

handgun, a privilege granted to them by the Inspectorate.

“This patient, it seems your illness is quite severe.”

After Su Jiang calmly uttered these words, before Lu Zhang could react, he swiftly and decisively drew the pistol from his waist.

“Click!”

“Bang!”

“Ugh!”

Just like he had dealt with Scarface at the bar, Su Jiang fired a shot at Lu Zhang’s thigh. Lu Zhang immediately screamed in pain, falling to the ground clutching his leg, crying out repeatedly.

The people outside, upon hearing the gunshot, immediately rushed into the office. However, Su Jiang had already thrown the gun to the ground not far away.

“Hands up! Don’t move!”

The Inspectorate personnel were all on high alert, pointing their guns at Su Jiang.

Although I’m not sure what happened, from the current situation in the room, I can probably guess.

Su Jiang shot Lu Zhang!

“Do you know this is the Inspectorate? How dare you shoot a gun here!”

“Shoot a gun?”

Su Jiang looked puzzled, gazing at them blankly. Even with several gun barrels pointed at him at this moment, his expression remained calm and composed.

“Who shot the gun, me?”

“He… he took my gun and then shot at me!”

Lu Zhang, seeing Su Jiang deny it, quickly spoke up, glaring fiercely at Su Jiang.

Seeing the victim, Lu Zhang, say this, everyone was sure it was Su Jiang who fired the gun.

“Ah, I can’t clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River.”

Su Jiang sighed deeply, saying to Lu Zhang, “You really played this hand well!”

“Just because I asked you to resign, you’re willing to injure yourself and slander me?”

At this moment, Yang Ming also hurried over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the situation, he furrowed his brows involuntarily.

“What’s going on?”

“Yang Ming, you arrived just in time. Otherwise, I might be wronged to death.”

Su Jiang, as if seeing a savior, quickly explained to Yang Ming:

“Here’s the thing, I made a judgment about the condition of my colleague Lu Zhang, and I believed that him resigning now is the best way to treat his depression.”

“Then I asked him to go to you to handle the resignation procedures. Who knew that he immediately turned against me, threatening to make my life a living hell if I really did that.”

“And then, he actually pulled out a gun, I thought he was going to kill me. I didn’t expect that he would shoot himself in the thigh and then falsely accuse me of firing the gun!”

The personnel at the Inspectorate’s expressions changed instantly upon hearing this.

This… does seem like Lu Zhang’s style!

Taking a bullet in his own thigh to avoid the risk of being fired, if it was them, they might do the same.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming frowned. He had a feeling that things were not as Su Jiang described.

However, the next moment, when Yang Ming inspected Lu Zhang’s wound, his brows furrowed tightly as he spoke:

“Lu Zhang, how far was Su Jiang from you when he fired the gun?”

“…Ha… Less than a meter, I think.”

Lu Zhang’s panting was particularly clear, as he gritted his teeth. He didn’t understand why Yang Ming was asking this.

Upon hearing Lu Zhang’s words, Yang Ming’s expression turned cold.

“Less than a meter, this means that there should be a significant distance between Su Jiang firing the gun and hitting your leg.”

“So why does the condition of your wound suggest that it was fired in a way that typically only occurs when the gun barrel is pressed tightly against the leg?”

Upon hearing this, the experienced personnel at the Inspectorate immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

They all approached, observing Lu Zhang’s wound with furrowed brows.

“Indeed, it’s as Yang Ming said. This kind of wound formation usually occurs when the gun barrel is pressed tightly against the leg, with almost no distance.”

“Yes, the choice of the precise location of the shot was extremely accurate, ensuring the harm while avoiding potential serious consequences. This was no coincidence; the shooter’s marksmanship is quite high.”

“Without careful preparation and calculation beforehand, it would be difficult to accurately hit this location.”

Upon hearing the judgment of these individuals, the ones holding their guns at Su Jiang gradually lowered them.

At this point, the truth became clear.

Su Jiang was innocent.

He was framed by Lu Zhang.

“Lu Zhang, I never expected you to stoop to this level!”

Yang Ming looked at Lu Zhang with immense disappointment, thinking that everyone was just fooling around.

But now, the situation had changed.

He looked at the personnel of the Inspectorate, including Lu Zhang, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

These people were no longer the same as before, no longer his comrades who shared ideals and beliefs.
