Upon witnessing the surrender of the two individuals, Christopher Yard realized that there were no more Hummers around. He promptly exited the Ferrari. However, as soon as he stepped out, Christopher Yard sensed an imminent danger. His pupils contracted, and he swiftly retreated back into the car. "Bang! Swish!" In that split second, a gunshot rang out from a distance. Bullets whizzed through the air, leaving trails of afterimages, narrowly missing Christopher Yard's head and hitting the ground instead. As the bullet struck the ground, cracks spread out like a spiderweb, but quickly ceased. The police officers, who witnessed this, immediately aimed their guns in the direction where the bullet originated. However, the perpetrator had already vanished without a trace. Yet, Christopher Yard, with his keen eyesight, noticed something peculiar about the person's left hand. It was missing a middle finger and bore a distinct scar. However, the person's appearance eluded Christopher Yard in an instant. After confirming that the danger had dissipated, Christopher Yard finally stepped out of the Ferrari. He hastily deactivated the small defense mode, which had consumed a significant amount of thumbs-up points. At that moment, a mechanical voice resonated in his mind. "The host's small defense mode lasted approximately 8 minutes, consuming a total of 240,000 thumbs-up points. Deducting the 40,000 thumbs-up points obtained today, the host still owes 200,000 thumbs-up points." Upon hearing this, Christopher Yard felt a surge of frustration. In just 8 minutes, all the thumbs-up points he had earned from The Serenade and the thumbs-up restaurant had vanished, leaving him with a debt of 200,000 points. "Ding! Due to the host owing 200,000 thumbs-up points, you are temporarily unable to purchase items in the Thumbs-Up Online Mall. You can only participate in the Lucky Draw. If the host fails to repay the debt within one month, the Lucky Draw System will also be unavailable." The voice echoed in his mind once again, intensifying Christopher Yard's frustration. He had initially estimated that with a daily income of tens of thousands of thumbs-up points, he would have accumulated several hundred thousand points, if not a million, within a month. What went wrong? Christopher Yard not only had no remaining thumbs-up points, but he also found himself in significant debt. This left him utterly dumbfounded, unable to make any purchases for the next few days. Christopher Yard shook his head and glanced at Serene Hayes beside him. She was clad in a tight black leather jacket and high boots, with her long legs exposed and her ample bosom impossible to conceal. However, her expression was far from pleasant. Someone had dared to openly shoot in her territory, blatantly disrespecting her and the Southwest District Police Station. When Serene Hayes caught sight of Christopher Yard, her expression grew even colder. She believed he deserved it. This guy always exploited Director Zheng's name and never brought any good news whenever he appeared. Yet, Christopher Yard chose to ignore Serene Hayes' gaze. He coldly surveyed the two individuals with their hands raised, then seized one of them by the collar and asked with a menacing expression: "Tell me, you only have one chance. Who sent you?"The person knew their fate was sealed. Even if the police didn't kill them, someone else would. With this in mind, they smirked, their face pale, and replied: "I don't know. The other party contacted us for the job. Do you think someone who wants others to help them kill would reveal their name and expose their identity?" Hearing this, Christopher Yard took a deep breath. He couldn't refute what the person said. These individuals seemed to have undergone special training, but they likely had no knowledge of the mastermind behind it all. The person with the scar on their left hand was most likely the one who came to finish the job. Unfortunately, they had failed to eliminate Christopher Yard. The person's marksmanship was also remarkably accurate. If Christopher Yard had been a second slower, he would have been dead. They now knew the consequences of not killing Christopher Yard, and it was unlikely they would be able to communicate with these people again. It had become impossible for Christopher Yard to uncover the identity of the mastermind. "Damn it!" Not knowing the names of those people, Christopher Yard had no intention of letting them go. He delivered a powerful punch to the person's face, causing several teeth to fall out, and then kicked them forcefully in the abdomen. "Ah!" The person screamed, spitting out a mouthful of blood and convulsing in pain. Fear filled their eyes as they gazed at Christopher Yard, feeling as if they were staring at a demon. Before the nearby police officers could intervene, Christopher Yard stomped on the man's leg, eliciting another agonizing scream. This scream not only terrified the man's companions but also instilled fear in the surrounding police officers. This young man, Christopher Yard, was truly ruthless! Christopher Yard proceeded to inflict the same punishment on the other person, leaving both of them trembling in fear. Suddenly, they deeply regretted getting involved in this situation. The hundreds of thousands of dollars were far less important than their own lives, but it was too late for regrets now. They could no longer escape. Serene Hayes, standing nearby, did not intervene to stop Christopher Yard. She knew full well what kind of person he was. Anyone who acted in such a manner before an enraged Christopher Yard was inviting their own demise.At that moment, Serene Hayes couldn't be certain of Christopher Yard's next move. If Jeffrey Reed blamed her later, she wouldn't be able to bear it. Even Serene Hayes didn't insist on Christopher Yard returning to the police station to file a report. She simply directed the nearby police officers to arrest the four surviving individuals, preparing to take them back to the station. "Commissioner Liu called me here, so I won't be filing a report. These four individuals attempted to kill me with guns, and you know how to handle that." Christopher Yard didn't lie. He informed Serene Hayes of the situation, and just as he was about to leave, he noticed the innocent bystanders who had been injured because of those four individuals. He sighed and decided to save them, earning a few thumbs-up points in the process. Christopher Yard then retrieved a silver needle and administered acupuncture to each of the injured individuals. He couldn't do anything for those who had already perished, but for those still alive, he helped alleviate the severity of their injuries, allowing them to be transported to the hospital for treatment. After completing the acupuncture, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Christopher Yard's mind:"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for saving innocent civilians and earning 2,000 thumbs-up points!" "Ding! Congratulations, Host, for rescuing innocent civilians and receiving 2,000 thumbs-up!" "Ding! Congratulations, Host, for your heroic efforts in saving innocent civilians and earning 2,000 thumbs-up!"
