It wasn't a huge issue that Zhou Zhongyi had fired his gun.
But failing to apprehend the suspect immediately after the assault, and then allowing him to take a hostage…
Most importantly, the hostage was slashed and injured—an innocent civilian had been harmed.
That blew the whole thing wide open.
Lv Youwei rushed to the scene as soon as he heard the news.
Even Tang Changhong, the director of the K9 base, was alarmed and made a special trip over.
The report he received said the suspect was dangerously unhinged, that shots had been fired, and that the search was taking place on a mountain—the harshest kind of working environment. If one of his own K9s got injured, the loss would be significant.
By the time he arrived, Sun Zhao and Chen Chao were already getting an earful.
"Chen Guo, is Knight all right?" Tang Changhong was a man in his forties with a large nose. Like Lv Youwei, he also wore the insignia of a First-Class Superintendent.
