Inside the Oversight Committee building, the intense gunfire echoed throughout. The majority of the police officers protecting Riel had been forced outside, where they surrendered their weapons.

Inside, a small number of military intelligence personnel who had received orders to fight to the death were massacred by the garrison troops, including several white officers.

"Bang!"

Su Tianyu kicked open the door of an office and cornered Riel inside.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

"...!"

Garrison soldiers rushed in, first taking out two guards who were filming with their phones, then secured the area.

Riel's face was pale, and he kept clutching his chest, seemingly very agitated.

"Hello, Chairman Riel," Su Tianyu said through gritted teeth as he walked over and grabbed Riel's hair with his left hand.

"Slap!"

With that grab, the golden wig on Riel's head was yanked off. The old man's sparsely haired scalp looked rather disheveled, with only two wisps of hair like Sha Monk sticking out awkwardly at his temples.

Riel trembled with anger. Su Tianyu looked at the wig in his hand in astonishment and threw it on the ground. "The quality's pretty good?!"

"...You stupid yellow-skinned monkey! Son of a bitch! You lowlife!" Riel pulled a small pistol from his waist in shame and anger, raised his arm, and aimed it at Su Tianyu. "I'm going to execute you!"

How could the old man's movements and reactions compare to a young man's?

"Bang!"

Su Tianyu sidestepped and kicked Riel half a meter, sending him crashing into a desk before falling heavily to the ground.

Several white guards in the room roared and rose to fight back.

"Did I tell you to move? Did I?!" Da Bai, like a wild bear, unleashed a flurry of wild punches on the two guards, knocking them unconscious before he stopped.

Riel was too old. It took him a full twenty or thirty seconds to recover after falling to the ground. He shook his Sha Monk-haired head and gasped for breath before shouting, "Lowly citizen, how dare you point a gun at your noble master? How dare you?!"

Riel's angry curses and arrogance instantly sent Su Tianyu's blood rushing to his head. He grabbed Riel by the collar, shoved the gun in his mouth, and breathed rapidly.

Riel's aged face showed a mocking smile as he looked at Su Tianyu provocatively. "...Shoot me, kill me! You lowlife from a rat hole!"

Su Tianyu looked at Riel and knew very well that the bastard was trying to provoke him because he didn't want to live anymore.

The mine disaster, the delayed compensation, the protests, the bombing, and now the live broadcast incident—Riel was at the end of his rope. He had joined forces with the Baolong Group's private armed forces and the police to try to assassinate Li Mingsheng, leading to widespread riots in Dragon City.

With all these events combined, the Oversight Committee and the upper echelons couldn't withstand the pressure. Therefore, the top decision-maker, the leader, would definitely have to die to appease the public.

Riel knew he couldn't survive, and he didn't even want to be interrogated in prison. He considered himself a nobleman and should leave the world with dignity, rather than being abandoned by power and having his life and death decided by those he considered lowlifes.

"Kill me, you peasant's child...!" Riel said provocatively as he lay on the ground.

Su Tianyu stared at him, suddenly calmed down, helped Riel fix his hair, and said with a slight smile, "I know what you're thinking. If I kill you, the garrison troops surrounding this place will be blamed. You want to give Wen Zhanbo one last jab before you die, right?"

Riel frowned when he heard this.

"Hehe, I'm not that stupid," Su Tianyu said with a smile. "I still want to be an official."

With that, Su Tianyu got up and shouted, "Riel is suspected of organizing the assassination of Mayor Li Mingsheng and is now formally under arrest!"

"Take him away," an officer under Wen Zhanbo said softly.

Su Tianyu walked to the officer's side, scratched his nose, and said to him, "Report to the higher-ups that the 13th Brigade's mission to stabilize the Oversight Committee has ended, and dozens of bandits who assassinated Mayor Li Mingsheng have been captured. Now that the Oversight Committee is stable, you will, as usual, send a squad of soldiers to escort the ringleader Riel to the city government for adjudication by local departments."

The officer was stunned for a moment. "Okay, no problem."

"Take them away." Su Tianyu smiled at Riel, turned, and left.

...

The Municipal Police Department had been surrounded, and a large number of heavily armed soldiers had blocked the main roads.

A regimental commander from the 13th Brigade walked quickly into the police department compound with a dozen men, while the police officers guarding the entrance did not dare to act rashly.

Five or six minutes later, on the third floor of the police department.

"Where's Chief Lin You?" the regimental commander asked a deputy chief.

"He... he's gone," the deputy chief said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "I don't know where he went."

"You're one of his people, and you don't know where he went?" the regimental commander asked, raising an eyebrow.

"If I were one of his people, I would have left with him," the deputy chief replied somewhat aggrieved. "I'm in charge of logistics, a deputy chief with no real power."

The regimental commander glanced at him, reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him into an empty office.

"Officer, you...?!"

"Can you see the situation clearly?" the regimental commander asked in a low voice.

"I... I'm just a small fry. I told you, I have no real power."

"Even a small fry has its uses." The regimental commander reached out, straightened the other man's clothes, and said to him in a low voice, "You need to do two things now."

"Y-You tell me."

"First, issue a formal announcement to all departments under the police department: Lin You, Guo Zihong, and other former senior police department officials secretly planned and directed some police officers to assassinate Mayor Li Mingsheng for their own personal gain. Now that their scheme has been exposed, they have fled. Order all police units to intercept Lin You and others with the highest level wanted order." The regimental commander pointed at the deputy chief's chest and continued, "After issuing the announcement, you must also send a telegram to the regional police headquarters, stating the crimes of Lin You, Guo Zihong, and others truthfully. Can you do it?!"

Hearing this, the deputy chief knelt on the ground with a thud. "If I issue these two announcements, then what about me...?"

The regimental commander took out his gun, pointed it at the deputy chief's head, and asked, "Are you an accomplice of Lin You?"

The deputy chief trembled all over.

"Are you?!" the regimental commander asked expressionlessly.

The deputy chief gritted his teeth, immediately got up, and shouted, "I've long been disgusted with Lin You's corruption, cronyism, and gang-building! I want to report him. They planned an assassination attempt outside the district last time...!"

The regimental commander nodded with a smile. "Very good."

...

At the Oversight Committee.

Su Tianyu held the phone and asked, "Is the leader safe? Good, good, I'll send Riel over right away."

"Be sure to ensure his safety!" Li Mingsheng's aide instructed.
