Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

168: Chapter 169 Don’t move! You’re surrounded!Xiao Chen tossed the divorce agreement to the Four Great Generals, his fingertips nonchalantly scratching the edge of the paper. As his gaze swept over Qin Yan, who was slumped on the ground, and Mother Qin, whose face was deathly pale, a sneer of condescending victory curled the corners of his mouth.

He raised his hand to leisurely adjust the collar of his black trench coat. The silver dragon emblem pinned to the collar glinted with a cold, hard light under the crystal lights—as if blatantly declaring that this ”son-in-law’s comeback” drama he had directed himself had finally reached a ”perfect” conclusion.

”Let’s go.” He gestured with his chin toward the Four Great Generals, his tone overflowing with disdain. ”Spending too much time with these ants is an eyesore.”

But inwardly, he was secretly gloating: I’ve been suppressed for three whole years; today, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and really let loose!

The Four Great Generals immediately responded and followed, their footsteps so synchronized it was as if they were stepping to the same beat. As the hems of their black trench coats swept across the floor, they stirred up a chilling, oppressive wind.

The guests in the banquet hall had long since shrunk to the sides, none daring to look them in the eye.

The ruthless way Xiao Chen had snapped Zhao Lei’s finger with his bare hands, and the spectacle of the Four Great Generals kneeling on one knee, had long since planted seeds of fear in everyone’s hearts.

Qin Fei held the wailing Zhao Lei, whose finger was broken, not even daring to raise her head; Mother Qin tightly hugged Qin Yan, who had just signed the divorce agreement, tears falling silently onto her daughter’s hair.

Xiao Chen walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, paused, and looked back at Zhang Fan and Gu Jingshen in the corner.

He recognized that these two had been observing the whole time but hadn’t shown fear like the others. A trace of displeasure crossed his mind, but he didn’t pay it much attention.

In his eyes, these were just two ordinary people watching the show; once he left Jiangcheng, these people wouldn’t even have the qualifications to remember him.

But just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, a loud ”bang” suddenly exploded! The heavy solid wood door was kicked open violently from the outside, the door slamming against the wall, shaking fragments of the crystal chandelier on the ceiling down in a rustle.

Immediately after, a team of SWAT officers wearing black bulletproof vests and riot helmets swarmed in. Their submachine guns were pointed downwards, yet they exuded a suffocating sense of deterrence.

Following closely behind were armed police officers, holding shields, who quickly formed a defensive line at the banquet hall entrance, firmly blocking all exits.

Xiao Chen’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt, the smugness on his face instantly freezing. The Four Great Generals also instinctively stopped, their hands reaching toward the inside of their trench coats, where switchblades and a handgun were hidden. But in front of the armed SWAT team, these weapons suddenly seemed utterly ridiculous.

”Police! Don’t move! Put your hands up!” A clear, yet undeniably authoritative voice rang out.

Qin Xue walked out from the SWAT team, wearing a dark blue bulletproof vest with her police badge clearly visible on her chest. She held a handgun, its muzzle aimed at Xiao Chen in the center of the room.

Her eyes were as sharp as knives as she scanned the room: ”Everyone, stay where you are, do not move around, and cooperate with the police investigation!”

The dark muzzles were instantly aimed at everyone in the banquet hall, yet they precisely avoided the ordinary guests.

The SWAT officers had clearly long since mapped out the situation; the primary targets of their guns were always Xiao Chen and his Four Great Generals.

The scene fell into a deathly silence, with only the synchronized breathing of the SWAT officers and the metallic clanking of their equipment audible. The arrogant atmosphere of the ”Dragon King’s Return” that had filled the room just moments ago was instantly replaced by the cold authority of the law.

What left Xiao Chen and the Four Great Generals even more bewildered was that the cleaning ladies who had been clearing tableware in the banquet hall and the waiters standing by in the corners suddenly set down their work in unison, pulled hidden handcuffs and batons from their waists, and some even produced handguns from the bottom of their serving carts!

They tore off their work uniforms to reveal the police uniforms underneath and quickly moved to the guests, maintaining order while saying: ”Everyone, don’t panic. We are plainclothes police officers currently on duty. Please cooperate with us, squat down, and put your hands behind your heads!”

”This... how is this possible?” One of the Four Great Generals beside Xiao Chen blurted out, his voice full of disbelief.

They had spent years executing missions overseas; the police they had encountered were either ”cleanup crews” who arrived after the fact or ”compromisers” who were held hostage by them. They had never seen a setup like this.

The police had actually laid an ambush in advance among the waiters and cleaning staff, and they even knew their route of action clearly!

Xiao Chen’s face shifted from astonishment to livid; he stared at the ”disguised” plainclothes officers, his mind in total chaos.

In his script, even if the police came, it should have been after he left, following Zhao Lei’s report, and they would have just investigated symbolically. Even if they stopped him, as long as he revealed his identity as the Dragon King Hall Master and hinted at his ”overseas forces,” the police should have been three parts wary.

He knew that before he went abroad, the status of a foreigner was enough to make a county magistrate and county party secretary of a small county personally receive him. He didn’t believe that after just a few years, the status of a foreigner was no longer valued in the country?

Were they not afraid of diplomatic disputes? Were they not afraid of the threat from his international organization, the Dragon King Hall?

But the scene before him completely exceeded his understanding—there was no compromise, no hesitation, only an all-encompassing encirclement and ruthless deterrence.

”This isn’t right...” another foreign General muttered. He remembered when they executed missions in Southeast Asia, local police would be scared into retreating upon seeing their emblems, but here, the emblem seemed to have become a joke. ”Are they not afraid that we’ll take hostages? How dare they...”

The members of the Qin Family and the guests in the banquet hall were even more terrified.

One second it was a divorce dispute in a ”family drama,” and the next second it switched to an ”action movie” arrest scene.

Mother Qin crouched on the ground, holding Qin Yan, her hands tightly shielding her daughter’s head, her body still trembling slightly.

Zhao Lei, who had been wailing just moments ago, had never seen such a spectacle; he was so scared that he forgot the pain, obediently holding his head, not daring to make a sound.

The guests helped each other crouch down, their eyes filled with lingering fear; no one dared to look up at the gun muzzles aimed at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen finally snapped back to reality, a fire of humiliation surging from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly looked up, stared at Qin Xue, and roared: ”Insolent! Do you know who I am? I am the Dragon King Hall Master—the Dragon King! I have thousands of people under my command and a dozen strongholds overseas! You dare to arrest me? Do you believe I can have my people level your police station!”

As he shouted, he tried to straighten his back to maintain the majesty of the ”Dragon King,” but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his panic.

The Four Great Generals also tried to step forward in coordination, but they were held back by the muzzles of the SWAT officers. ”Move again, and we’ll fire!” A cold warning rang out, causing their feet to freeze in place instantly.
