That's right, it's 'died in the line of duty'.
The news clearly described how the police chief of Ying City, Qiu Shi, was targeted by criminals during a counter-terrorism operation, ultimately sacrificing his life while confronting them.
The news painted Qiu Shi as a fearless hero of the people, complete with some misleading photos. If Ye Qiu didn't know the truth, he might have believed it.
Moreover, if the news had merely mentioned Qiu Shi's death, Ye Qiu and the others wouldn't have had this strong reaction; they already knew about Qiu Shi's death.
This news would only leave Ye Qiu and the others feeling a bit ironic.
Obviously, Qiu Shi died at the hands of the Ouyang Family, yet it was never mentioned that the Ouyang Family existed.
The Hidden Clan always remains concealed from the ordinary world, known only by a few, while to most, it's more akin to an urban legend.
