Chapter 16

Meeting After Shopping

Hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao repeatedly emphasize that she did not subdue the robber, Chief Zhang could not help but frown.

“But I just learned from the robber and hostages that only a few of you were present. Who else could it be other than you?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao recalled that a passerby had appeared behind the robber when he was about to kill her.

“No, I think there’s another passerby in the middle.”

Zhang Zhenghuai waved his hand. “I know. The robber said it just now, but he just left.”

“That’s true.”

Hearing Chief Zhang’s words, Zhou Xiaoxiao lost her train of thought.

Zhang Zhenghuai patted Zhou Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and comforted her. “Don’t think too much. You did very well today.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes.”

“I know you’ve had a hard day, but you still have to go back to the police station to write a detailed report on today’s work. Mayor Wang specially instructed me to look over what happened.”

“Roger that.”

After the two of them finished talking, Zhang Zhenghuai went to arrange for the police officers to deal with the scene.

As a big shot, he still had a lot of things to do.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stared at Chief Zhang’s departing figure and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she stomped her feet.

Since she couldn’t figure it out for the time being, she would think about it when she returned.

After thinking it through, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt much more relaxed.

However, once she relaxed, she felt the pain in her neck.

Hence, she planned to look for the medical staff to deal with it.

As soon as she took a step forward, a group of media personnel holding cameras and cameras surrounded her.

“Hello, hero of Hibiscus City. I’m a reporter from the Hibiscus City TV station. Can I have a few minutes of your time to do an interview?”

“Hello, we’re reporters from the Hibiscus City Headlines…”

“Officer Zhou, sorry to disturb you. We’re reporters for Tomorrow’s Story…”

Facing five or six microphones, Zhou Xiaoxiao seemed to be at a loss.

She looked up and saw that Mayor Wang was already preparing to get into the car and leave.

The moment the other party got into the car, he turned to look at her.

Mayor Wang secretly gave her a thumbs up, then got into the car and left.

Zhou Xiaoxiao understood that Mayor Wang was deliberately pushing her out to be the police’s spokesperson.

Today’s robbery of the gold shop could be said to be one of the few bad things that had happened in the past two years.

Not only would this be a stain on the reputation of Hibiscus, but it would also attract the attention of the entire country and affect the reputation of the entire city!

However,

Today, this matter had been perfectly resolved, and a variable had appeared.

Mayor Wang was trying to turn the downwind situation into a smooth sailing one.

They were able to turn danger into safety. They could even spread the reputation of Hibiscus City throughout the country.

Because of Zhou Xiaoxiao’s excellent performance, not only did she deal with the robber, but she also ensured the safety of the people and property of the city.

It also showed the power of the Hibiscus City police, the care of the municipalities, and the safety of Hibiscus City to the entire country.

It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone or even more benefits.

For Mayor Wang to make such a judgment and decision in such a short period of time, this was a deep foresight that many people could not imagine.

Zhou Xiaoxiao secretly admired Mayor Wang’s brilliance.

After thinking for a moment, she began to deal with the various media outlets.

“Greetings, my friends from the media. I’m very happy to be able to contribute to Hibiscus City…”

Zhou Xiaoxiao did not talk about the incident in detail when dealing with the media, nor did she say that she was the one who counterattacked the robber.

“Officer Zhou, what kind of mentality did you use to turn the situation around and complete the counter-control of the robber?”

“Alright, this reporter friend’s questions are very professional.”

“Hahahaha, not only is Officer Zhou young and beautiful, but she’s also so sweet with her words. I’m just asking this question on behalf of a portion of the people of Hibiscus City. Everyone is very curious about your thoughts at that time.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao paused and smiled. “Actually, I didn’t subdue the robber myself!”

Crack! Crack!

As soon as these words were spoken, the media personnel were shocked and began to capture close-up shots of Zhou Xiaoxiao.

Zhou Xiaoxiao turned sideways and gestured for the camera to capture the police officer who was cleaning up behind her. She smiled and said,

“Look, I still have the Hibiscus City police behind me, and I still have the people of Hibiscus City by my side… right?”

“…”

Many reporters thought that Zhou Xiaoxiao would have some insider news.

No one expected Zhou Xiaoxiao to make a 360-degree reversal.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was saying, “This isn’t my credit alone. The million citizens of Hibiscus City are my right-hand men. The powerful Hibiscus City government is my confidence…”

With just this sentence, all the forces in Hibiscus City were included.

Moreover, be it Zhou Xiaoxiao herself or the Hibiscus City government, they had both been promoted in this matter.

At this moment, the secretary of the Municipal Committee, who was watching the livestream in the office, blurted out the praise for Zhou Xiaoxiao’s words.

“Beautiful!”

He had just received a call from Mayor Wang, who was still skeptical about him letting a young girl deal with the media.

At this moment, he was completely relieved.

“What a rare talent.”

…

Finally,

After Zhou Xiaoxiao told the media that she still had injuries that needed treatment, the media personnel left reluctantly.

“Officer Zhou, you’re so brave.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao chatted with the medical staff while they treated the bruises on her neck.

She learned from them that the robber and hostages had been taken to the hospital.

Zhou Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, “Are the robber’ injuries serious?”

A female nurse applied medicine on Zhou Xiaoxiao’s neck and said with respect, “Officer Zhou, you’re really a hero among women. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful and ruthless.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao did not know if she was praising her or reprimanding her.

She smiled awkwardly. “Uh… What’s wrong?”

“The robber’s right wrist was cut by a sharp weapon. It seems like the tendons in his hand are about to break.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat.

No wonder the robber couldn’t hold the pistol, causing it to slip.

“However, this kind of vicious criminal deserves it. If it were me, I would definitely stab him 360 times and avoid his vital points!”

“By the way, this can be considered self-defense. It shouldn’t be illegal, right…”

As the female nurse chattered, she installed an isolation collar that protected Zhou Xiaoxiao’s neck.

After dealing with her injuries, Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly bade farewell to the nurse. The other party was too good at talking.

She looked up and saw that the aftermath of the scene had been mostly dealt with by her colleagues.

Suddenly,

A young man in casual clothes walked out of a mall not far away.

As the incident did not affect Yida Mall, there were still many citizens who had not left.

However, the robber later escaped in the direction of door number one, so if the people in the mall wanted to leave, they would use door number two. They rarely chose exit number one where the robber appeared.

This person was the first person to come out of Gate 1 so far, which puzzled her.
