Just then, sirens blared throughout the residential complex. Almost instantly, more than a hundred uniformed Protectors charged around the corner of a building, swiftly surrounding the social media influencers.
"Don't move! Put your hands up and get on the ground!"
"We are Protectors from the Qingyun City Police Station! You are suspected of endangering the safety of others. Nobody move!"
...
The influencers were dumbfounded. They stood frozen, completely at a loss.
After all, this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a massive police response in person.
They had seen such things on television, but that was only when Protectors were apprehending the most notorious criminals, an operation that would require hundreds of officers.
They never imagined these measures would one day be used on them.
The sheer scale of the operation completely intimidated the group of influencers.
