Liu Heng almost blacked out as he watched the chief of the police station salute Xu Lei. Luo Cheng, standing beside, recalled that he had just tried to hit on Ge Dongxu’s girlfriend in front of him and had nearly grabbed Ge’s collar in a fit of anger, which also scared him into a cold sweat.
Goodness, could he, a mere son of a small hotel owner and a university student, dare to mess with someone even the chief of the police station saluted?
As for Su Qian, who seemed gentle but was actually quite mercenary, was naturally filled with regret at this moment.
"Take them all back, interrogate each one of them thoroughly," Xu Lei said coldly as he took his ID back.
"Yes!" the chief of the police station replied, standing at attention, unable to stop the cold sweat from breaking out on his forehead.
This was the Deputy Director of the Provincial National Security Bureau; the people in his department even excelled at counter-espionage. These ordinary police officers were mere rookies compared to them!
If he demanded a thorough investigation, then these gangsters might as well have every detail of their underwear scrutinized.
"Take them all back!" the chief of the police station said forcefully, wiping his forehead, then shouted at the officers.
Thus, all the gangsters, including Liu Heng, were escorted onto the police car.
"Clap, clap, clap!" the people at the scenic platform all started applauding.

"Wait!" Ma Xiaoshuai called out, then took a wallet from Liu Heng’s pocket, pulled out a stack of money, and placed it on the table.
"Clap, clap, clap!" The applause grew louder.
Only Luo Cheng and a few others stood still, feeling like their emotions were in turmoil.
...
"Director Zhang, it was just a bit of over-drinking and making a scene, is there really a need for such a big fuss?" Late at night, a bald man, sitting in the office of the chief of the Qianjiang Boulevard police station, rubbed his shiny head and spoke discontentedly.
The bald man was named Wang Qiang, also known as Bald Strong, a notable figure in the gray area of Linzhou City, primarily running entertainment venues.
Liu Heng was one of his men. Because of a word from Xu Lei, the Qianjiang Boulevard police station had not even notified anyone and directly dispatched police to raid the entertainment venues around Qianjiang Boulevard, taking away people related to Liu Heng and some other troublemakers.
"Boss Wang, I had no choice, this was an order from above," Director Zhang, the same one who had responded to the call earlier, told Wang Qiang.
"From above? Director Zhang, that’s not very friendly. I called Director Zhao of your district before coming here, and he didn’t mention any such notice," Wang Qiang said as he passed a Chunghwa cigarette to Director Zhang.
"It was an emergency, directly ordered by the city bureau leadership," Director Zhang said with a bitter smile, putting down the cigarette Wang Qiang had handed him.
Wang Qiang, who navigated the gray areas, wasn’t exactly a criminal, but he couldn’t be called a good man either. People like him often had extensive connections and were influential in both the lawful and the underworld.
Wang Qiang was such a person and because his business was significant, he was considered a prominent businessman and wealthy entrepreneur in the city, he even held a title in the city’s political consultative conference. If not for Xu Lei’s insistence, Director Zhang really wouldn’t have wanted to make such a big fuss about this incident.
"City bureau leadership? Which leader, Director Zhang? Just give me some insight. After all, you’ve already conducted the investigation and made the arrests. It’s only fair to let me understand so I can apologize in person and prevent that leader from holding a grudge against me," Wang Qiang said, realizing that Liu Heng and the others must have offended some city bureau leader or a leader’s relative or friend.
This kind of thing could be big or small, but since the leader was angry, if Wang Qiang acted as if nothing had happened and showed no reaction, then a small issue was likely to escalate.
For people like them, who earned money by bending the rules, if the higher departments really took things seriously, they couldn’t withstand scrutiny.
Director Zhang looked at Wang Qiang, hesitated for quite a while, and only under Wang Qiang’s request, he reluctantly said, "Actually, the real trouble Liu Heng and his group faced was with the people from the National Security Bureau, so I think it’s best for you to pretend you don’t know about this. Liu Heng and his group have indeed been too audacious recently. Letting them suffer a bit might actually be a good thing."
"National Security Bureau? Damn, these kids really know how to cause trouble!" Wang Qiang gasped in shock and cursed, then thought for a moment and said, "I’m not a good person, but when my guys are in trouble, I must do something about it. I’ll make a call and see what I can do. If it really doesn’t work out, then Director Zhang, you do what you must and I’ll cooperate however necessary."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang looked at Wang Qiang somewhat surprised. He clearly had not expected Wang Qiang to be so influential, to even know people in the National Security Bureau.
Seeing Director Zhang’s surprised look, a hint of pride and satisfaction flashed in Wang Qiang’s eyes.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
This is called leveraging!
"I say Baldy Qiang, are you out of your mind calling me in the middle of the night, disturbing my sweet dreams?" Wang Qiang’s phone was quickly answered, and an unhappy voice came from the other side, it was Ma Xiaoshuai speaking.
"Come on, you were lying in bed dreaming at this hour?" Wang Qiang scoffed.
"What’s wrong with me lying in bed and dreaming at this hour?" Ma Xiaoshuai replied.
"Stop beating around the bush. What exactly is going on with Liu Heng? Don’t tell me people in your line of work don’t know Liu Heng is my guy?" Wang Qiang said.
At that, Ma Xiaoshuai on the other end of the phone fell silent for a while before finally speaking, "I had no choice, your subordinate was really clueless."
"Given our relationship, was it necessary to make it this serious? Not even a warning for a brother?" Wang Qiang said discontentedly.
"It’s not that I didn’t warn you, but this matter had to be handled this way. Do you know who was pointing a gun at Liu Heng’s head because of this?" Ma Xiaoshuai said with a bitter laugh.
"Who? It wasn’t you, was it?" Wang Qiang asked.
"If it were me, it would have been easier; it was our boss," Ma Xiaoshuai replied.
"Xu Lei! Damn! What exactly did Liu Heng do to offend someone? This happened so suddenly, I hadn’t even thoroughly investigated yet. I only heard he got drunk at a barbecue and forced several female students to drink," Wang Qiang gasped sharply and then couldn’t help but curse loudly.
"Come on, Baldy Qiang, you know our boss’s influence. Do you think our boss would personally aim a gun at Liu Heng’s head just because a few thugs forced a few female students to drink?" Ma Xiaoshuai asked, curling his lip.
Naturally, Wang Qiang knew about Xu Lei’s influence because he, too, was a Magician mingling in ordinary society. Hearing this, cold sweat just kept beading on his forehead.
"Damn! You mean that bastard offended someone even bigger than Xu Lei?" Wang Qiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed.
"Good that you know, so let it be, and let your thugs take a good hard taste of jail. Damn, what are these guys doing, daring to harass women in public. And you, Baldy Qiang, keep an eye on your men for the sake of our friendship. Things are not like before. If our boss gets angry one day, we won’t be inviting you to the police station but directly here," Ma Xiaoshuai said.
PS: At the request of a book friend for a cameo, Baldy Qiang makes a grand re-entry, this time his surname is Wang! Also, I went to celebrate the New Year’s Eve, wishing all book friends a happy new year, may your year be as awesome as Brother Xu’s.
