I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Hundreds of heavily armed special police, armed police, and civilian police were frozen in place.

My arm, which was holding the shield, got sore, but I didn't dare to put it down.

We look at each other.

Li Jianguo held up his phone, looking completely bewildered.

He had just been mentally planning how to negotiate with the robbers and how to arrange the assault route.

It turned out that the robbers were four soldiers, the hostage was a spoiled brat who ate ice cream, and the standard sniper rifle was a plastic toy that cost fifty yuan.

Wang Rui also looked extremely embarrassed.

He was just telling Lin Chen on the walkie-talkie that the other side had extremely strong counter-surveillance capabilities and that he should be careful to stay hidden.

Looking back now, he just casually aimed a toy gun, which scared our ace sniper so much that he had to urgently relocate.

If this gets out, where will the Armed Police Special Forces Detachment put its face?

The most bewildered person at the scene was Qian Kun.

He was pinned to the spot by five or six pairs of eyes, scratched the back of his head, and said with an innocent look, "Why are you all looking at me? Did I say anything wrong? I just picked up a kid, and this accent has been with me since I was little. What can I do?"

"How dare you say that!"

He Dong was the first to jump up, pointing his finger at him and yelling, "You call 'picking up' 'robbery'? You call a toy gun a 'gun'? And you say 'the child is in my hands' and 'I'm losing patience'? Are you playing the role of a kidnapper?"

"You wouldn't even survive the opening theme in a TV drama!"

"Exactly!" Zhao Yihang chimed in, "I was wondering why the whole street was suddenly deserted. Turns out, you attracted all the SWAT officers and armed police just by talking!"

"We were just trying to be a hero, and you almost made us get shot dead on the spot!"

"If our commander finds out we almost got shot by the armed police just for going out for a stroll, he'll skin us alive!"

Wu Hanfeng looked at him with a half-smile, which made Qian Kun feel uneasy.

"Well done, Kun'er, you've made something of yourself."

"Going out for a stroll directly mobilized the city's special police and armed police assault teams."

"This entourage is bigger than even the regimental commander's when he goes out for an inspection."

Qian Kun felt even more aggrieved, his head drooping, his fingers fidgeting with the hem of his clothes: "How was I supposed to know they could misunderstand... I was just a little anxious at the time, wasn't I?"

"The child is crying so loudly, what's wrong with me raising my voice a little?"

"Besides, that gun is a gun, even a toy gun is a gun..."

"You're still being stubborn!" He Dong slapped her across the face. "The operator was almost crying from fright. She thought she'd encountered terrorists retaliating against society! This isn't calling the police, it's reporting a terrorist attack!"

Several people took turns scolding Qian Kun, until he almost buried his head in his chest and didn't dare to breathe.

On the other side, Li Jianguo also recovered, cleared his throat, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave the order:

"Attention all units, this is a false alarm. All restrictions have been lifted! Roadblocks have been removed, traffic has returned to normal, and evacuated residents may return."

"Squad Leader Wang, let your men call it a day. Thank you all for making this trip."

Wang Rui nodded and pressed the button on the walkie-talkie: "Attention all groups, mission canceled, regroup where you are. Sniper, you can come down now, everything's fine."

"……receive."

Lin Chensheng's lifeless voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie, making Wang Rui feel embarrassed.

As soon as the order was given, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

The SWAT officers quickly folded their shields.

The traffic police quickly moved the roadblocks at the intersection.

The shop shutters were all pulled up, and the owners and their employees peeked out.

The auntie at the sausage stand also pushed her cart back: "I knew it! Where did this thug come from? I wasted half a batch of sausages."

The drivers who had been stopped at the intersection slowly drove over, glancing over as they passed by, curious about what could have caused such a stir among the police.

Wu Hanfeng and his group, who had just been lecturing Qian Kun, all stopped in their tracks when they heard the word "sniper."

Zhao Yihang slowly turned his head, his voice slightly unsteady: "Brother Feng... what did he just say? Sniper? You mean the sniper on the rooftop?"

He Dong swallowed hard, a chill running down his spine: "So... we really were being targeted by a sniper just now? I thought I was seeing things, just seeing a reflection on the rooftop!"

Qian Kun forgot his grievances and stared wide-eyed at the rooftop of the shopping mall across the street: "There really is a sniper? I was aiming at him with my toy gun for ages, and I thought it was just a reflection from the glass!"

Wu Hanfeng's smile faded a bit. He looked up at the empty rooftop, glanced at the toy gun in the little kid's hand, and was immediately filled with lingering fear.

So, you were just holding up a plastic toy and "sniping" a professional sniper two hundred meters away?

Their guns are loaded with live bullets, while ours are loaded with soft bullets?

If the other person had slipped or been a little nervous just now, I'd probably be completely finished by now.

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. He Dong's legs even felt weak, and he held onto the car door, saying:

"My god... I was just munching on a duck wing, and there was a sniper rifle pointed at us right above our heads the whole time? I'm so lucky to be alive!"

"That's right." Zhao Yihang was also still shaken. "Luckily, we didn't do anything outrageous. If someone had taken out a lighter to light a cigarette just now, and they mistook it for a gun, they could have shot us without us even having a chance to complain."

Qian Kun: "It's all my fault, all my fault! I wish I could sew my mouth shut!"

"They almost sent us all to our deaths! Brother Feng, you're making me run ten kilometers, no, twenty kilometers!"

As the group chattered amongst themselves, still shaken by the experience, they heard footsteps behind them.

Looking back, a young man in a black special forces uniform walked over. His hair was covered in dust and grass clippings, and half of his camouflage paint on his face was smudged. His eyes were gloomy, as if he had just crawled out of a grave.

It was Lin Chen who had just come down from the rooftop.

He walked up to Wu Hanfeng, turned his head to look at the toy sniper rifle in the little kid's hand, then looked up at Wu Hanfeng, his eyes almost overflowing with resentment.

This is the person.

Holding a fifty-yuan plastic toy gun, he was sniping against himself, a professional sniper who had trained for five years.

They even forced themselves to make an emergency relocation, and in their hasty retreat, they almost rolled down the rooftop drainage ditch.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, a thousand words welling up in his mouth, but in the end, he only said one sentence: "Brother, your marksmanship is good. Your eyesight is also good; you found me at over two hundred meters in a single glance."

Wu Hanfeng: "..."

He looked at the bits of grass on Lin Chen's head, and then thought about how he had been aiming the toy gun aimlessly just now. He felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose.

"Ahem, it's just a coincidence, purely a coincidence. I was just glancing around casually, I really didn't expect there to be anyone up there. Sorry, brother, did I scare you?"

Lin Chen forced a smile, a smile that looked more like a grimace: "It's nothing, it's just work. It's just... next time you're playing with toy guns, don't aim at people's rooftops. It's easy for people to misunderstand."

After saying that, he turned and left, his back looking utterly lifeless.

Wu Hanfeng straightened his clothes. "Let's go and apologize to the police officer. In the end, it was our fault for not explaining things clearly, causing such a commotion and delaying his business."

The group quickly stopped laughing and followed Wu Hanfeng toward Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo was explaining the follow-up matters to his subordinates when he saw them coming over, and he looked a little uncomfortable.

In this matter, both sides bear responsibility—Qian Kun's heavy accent and rough speech are one aspect, while the operator's failure to ask clearly before escalating the incident is also a bit of an overreaction.

"Officer, I'm really sorry." Wu Hanfeng first saluted. "The soldiers I led are inexperienced and don't know how to speak properly. They also have heavy accents, which caused you to misunderstand."

"It's our fault for troubling everyone to come here and disrupting your work."

Li Jianguo waved his hand and sighed, "It's not entirely your fault. Our operators are also responsible. They escalated the incident without clarifying the situation, making such a big fuss and frightening you and the children."

He looked down at Lele, who was squatting on the ground playing with pebbles, and said:

"We'll take the child with us and contact his parents later."

"We owe you all this today. If you hadn't pulled the child back from the road, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"We'll send a thank-you letter to your group later, as a way of recognizing your achievements."

"No need, no need, it's nothing." Wu Hanfeng quickly waved his hand. "It's just a small favor, no need for a thank-you letter. Just don't cause any trouble for our group."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li Jianguo, along with the police officers, led Lele into the police car.

Before leaving, Lele clung to the car window and waved to them, saying, "Goodbye, uncles! Come shoot guns with me again next time!"

Qian Kun quickly waved and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching the police car drive away: "Finally gone. If it had stayed any longer, I would have thought I was really going to be arrested."
