"Kogetsu, you're here! Well done, everyone!" Wu Shouye also stood up and said to the police officer in his forties and the other few police officers.

These people were his core team at the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau. For a sub-provincial city's district bureau, these individuals were insignificant. A vice-mayor could only調動這麼幾個人 from a分局，可見他日子難過。

Kogetsu and her companions looked at Wu Shouye in shock; there was a palm print clearly on his face. They knew without thinking what had happened, no wonder Wu Shouye had been so urgent about them coming.

But when they saw the more than a hundred small hoodlums outside, their heads began to ache. The other side had over a hundred people while they only had themselves. How could they arrest all of them If they tried, the crowd would disperse in an instant.

The bald man heard these police officers call the person he just hit "director" and felt a desire to retreat. After all, if this was really the director, there were ways to deal with him. A director was different from ordinary police officers; ordinary police couldn't do anything about him, but a director had no qualms.

"Brothers, let's withdraw first!" The bald man thought of this and said to the hoodlums in the room.

Hearing these hoodlums say they were withdrawing, there was nothing Wu Shouye could do. With over a hundred people, how could he catch them Clearly, Wu Shouye had also thought of this point, so his face looked very ugly. If he allowed these small hoodlums to leave, the news that a deputy director was slapped by a small thug would quickly spread throughout the city, making him a laughingstock in the entire public security system.

But with so many people, Wu Shouye could only watch as they left the restaurant.

"Damn it, listen up. Prepare for the deal tomorrow; otherwise... don't blame us for being rude! Even putting a public security director in his place doesn't matter to us, let alone you little civilians!"

When these hoodlums walked out of the restaurant and saw the onlookers nearby, they immediately started to bully them, pointing at those inside.

The look on Wu Shouye's face was terrible but he had no way to deal with it. With just a few people, if they tried anything, another beating would be inevitable, and then they wouldn't even have a chance to live!

Xiao Yu glanced at these hoodlums as they left; he believed that even after they walked away today, Wu Shouye's retaliation would soon follow. Even though Wu Shouye couldn't control the public security bureau, no small-time hoodlums could provoke him.

Moreover, behind these small hoodlums were people who wouldn't risk a confrontation with an acting deputy director over them; they might even sell out these few hoodlums to make Wu Shouye feel better for appearances' sake.

The gang members had not yet left when, suddenly, a loud rumble of car engines was heard in the distance. As soon as the sound of cars died down, the sound of orderly footsteps approached.

"Snap... Snap... Nobody move!"

As the running sounds grew closer, two squads of armed police officers ran over with their guns slung on their backs.

The armed police officers surrounded the gang members when they reached them and, after unholstering their firearms, shouted at the gang members.

After surrounding all the gang members, a leading officer raised his thumb towards the sky. The sharpshooter who had been on guard from atop the building across from the restaurant saw this gesture and quietly withdrew.

Seeing that each soldier was holding a gun pointed at them, the gang members were stunned—what exactly was going on They hadn’t offended any of these soldiers!

"All of you... all of you brothers, have we done anything to offend you What are you doing"

The bald-headed man looked at the armed police officers and their guns pointed directly at them. Goosebumps rose on his arms and he spoke fearfully.

The leading officer did not speak or look at them but stood there as if waiting for something.

Hearing what was going on outside, Xiao Yu and the others walked out to see this scene. Wu Shouye's mood immediately improved seeing that his face which had been sore from being beaten felt a bit cooler.

The officer quickly approached them when he saw Xiao Yu and the others come out. This officer had seen Xiao Yu during his sparring match with Zhang Daha, and was very impressed by his skills; furthermore, Xiao Yu had saved Wang Kai’s life, so he treated him with great respect as well.

The officer approached them in a run and first saluted Xiao Yu before asking, "Who is Director Wu"

Wu Shouye was stunned for a moment when this armed police officer ran over and saluted Xiao Yu. Then he recalled the soldiers he had seen outside Dongli Police Station, realising they were from the Armed Police Force—no wonder these soldiers had agreed so readily.

Thinking of this, Wu Shouye felt reassured remembering how he had always treated Xiao Yu with respect from the start.

"I am Wu Shouye, how do you do May I ask for your name"

Hearing the People's Armed Police officer asking him, Wu Shouye quickly stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Wu局長, nice to meet you. I'm Liutenant Zhao Bin from the Guard Company of the Armed Police Battalion, here as instructed, please give me my orders!"

The People's Armed Police officer didn't extend his hand but returned Wu Shouye’s salutation and greeted him.

These soldiers did not want to offend local influential figures like Wu Shouye either. After all, most of their men's demobilization depended on these officials. Even though they disliked dealing with them, they still had to interact for the sake of the arrangements of those retiring and professional military personnel.

Wu Shouye solemnly returned the salute and said, "Take these gangsters first to the Armed Police Battalion! The police station is currently quite busy. I’m troubling you, Liutenant Zhao!"

Now that he had caught these people, Wu Shouye did not want them taken to the police station yet. He didn’t have control over the police station right now; if they were taken there, they would likely be released soon because there was no solid evidence against them.

Hence, only taking them to the Armed Police Battalion seemed safest and gave him enough time to look for more evidence. This time, Wu Shouye despised these little gangsters so much that he wanted to ruin their lives completely.

"Take all of them away!"

Wu Shouye stood near the soldiers and waved his hand, feeling particularly satisfied as he had reclaimed all the lost face from before.

The police officers led by Gao Yue looked at Wu Shouye in admiration. They knew that not everyone could mobilize the Armed Police Battalion; even the city party secretary would need to negotiate with them. Although they generally wouldn’t refuse, they couldn't give orders but only coordinate.

Liutenant Zhao Bin was quite considerate and, after Wu Shouye had spoken, simply gestured to his soldiers without saying a word.

"Ah... Ah... The PLA is beating people!"

The soldiers immediately started driving the gangsters toward their military vehicles. Some of them tried to run away but were beaten back by rifle butt blows from these soldiers, causing the injured gangsters to wail in pain.

The warriors who were beating up the fleeing hoodlums stopped when they heard their shouts and looked at Captain Zhao Bin. The captain didn't say a word; he just gave them a gesture.

The soldiers, upon seeing the captain's gesture, intensified their assault even more while muttering under their breath, "Shout if you dare... we'll beat you to death..."

Seeing that no matter how loudly they shouted, these armed police soldiers didn't show any intention of stopping but instead became even more forceful, the hoodlums promptly ceased their shouting and obediently walked towards the military vehicles.

When the armed police had escorted all the hoodlums onto the vehicle, Wu Shouye bid farewell to Xiao Yu and Zhang Shaohua, then got into a car with those policemen to follow the military convoy, heading back to the Armed Police Detachment. He was determined to retrieve his honor from today's humiliation.

"Xiao Brother, I'm taking my leave now. I need to report this incident to Secretary Chu. Rest assured that the issue will be properly resolved!"

Seeing Wu Shouye depart and noting there wasn't anything else for him here, he needed to inform Chu Guoqing about what had happened, thus proposing to Xiao Yu that it was time for him to leave too.

Zhang Shaohua didn't take this matter lightly either. The hard-earned savings of these villagers were being taken away by them; how different was this from outright robbery Even a cornered rabbit would bite back. How much more so with humans! If they let things continue like this, something terrible could happen.

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement. As long as Chu Guoqing wasn't foolish, he would definitely handle the matter properly. After all, Xiao Yu was still young and had a promising future ahead of him; he couldn't afford to jeopardize it over such an incident.

These individuals might not value ordinary citizens highly, but they certainly wouldn’t risk their own futures frivolously.

Xiao Yu and Zhang Shaohua left after paying their respects. Xiao Yu's family also departed the fire station amidst grateful farewells from the boss of the restaurant.

They had originally planned to go out for some fun today, but since it was already afternoon, there wasn’t much point in going out anymore.

Xiao Yu hadn't visited his clinic yet that day and decided to head there instead. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu's wife, Yun Xi, and the others opted to stroll around the nearby mall.

As a city at the forefront of trends, Deepsea was incomparable to any other city in this regard. Hearing about going shopping excited Xiao Yu’s wife and friends considerably. Consequently, everyone except Xiao Yu decided to go shopping, with his brother-in-law Lu Jianhong naturally becoming their attendant and bag carrier.

Xiao Yu shuddered at the thought of accompanying women while shopping; it was a nightmare he never wanted to relive again.ector Ye, don’t worry! I’ll accompany Master Xiao to go!" Right after Ye Fei spoke, Daoist Priest Bai came out of Zhang Dahai’s tent and said.He knew that Xiao Yu wanted to hide his cultivation level....
