A Dong was feeling frustrated. How could this person behave like this? Just a little kindness and he acts all high and mighty. I, A Dong, am also a small leader of the Three Tiger Group. Do you think you can just do as you please? And you think you're doing well? You really see yourself as Xin Yi, the Third-in-Command of the Three Tiger Group?
While he was feeling annoyed, he heard him order Bowa to bring someone back, and it was in a commanding tone. A Dong immediately got angry. Damn! You really know how to take advantage of others. When did my people become your pawns? So A Dong snorted coldly and stepped forward, saying, "Brother, no matter what the situation is, it's best to stop while you're ahead. Don't take advantage of the situation! Since we've already apologized, I think you can leave now!"
Xin Yi picked up the bag from the ground and put it into his pocket. He didn't want anyone to see drugs appearing in the Three Tiger Group's territory. Seeing A Dong approach, Xin Yi said, "This person can't go to the hospital yet; I have questions for him. Please help me find a private room..."
"Damn! Who do you think you are? Don't think that just because Dong Ge gives you a little face, you can keep pushing your luck! Get lost! Go back where you came from!" Bowa was already furious and shouted before Xin Yi could finish speaking, releasing his grip on the Green-Haired Monster and glaring fiercely at Xin Yi.
This time A Dong did not stop Bowa; he was angry himself. This person simply didn't know how to appreciate kindness. It seemed that he really needed to be taught a lesson to understand. The big men around saw that Dong Ge didn’t intervene and began to surround Xin Yi and his group, creating an atmosphere ripe for a fight.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the circle, and a voice shouted, "Clear out! What are you all gathered here for? Police inspection!"
The crowd stirred and quickly made way for the police, who entered in a mixed group of uniformed and plainclothes officers. Leading them was none other than Wang Wei, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division. Hadn't he already been promoted to deputy director overseeing criminal investigations? Why did he personally need to handle this inspection? Moreover, there were many police officers present; it was clear they had come prepared. Even more surprisingly, Xin Yi spotted Lu Hanmeng among the police officers. The girl was dressed in plain clothes—a dark blue tracksuit and white sneakers—with her hair tied back in a ponytail, looking quite sharp.
After the He Dafu case, Wang Wei had become quite familiar with Xin Yi. Upon seeing him, Wang Wei strode over and said, "Oh? You're here too? I thought you wouldn't be interested in places like this."
"Hey, it's Captain Wang! Long time no see," Xin Yi replied. "I came here with some friends for fun. By the way, is this official business?"
"Yes, there's been a nationwide crackdown on vice and organized crime lately; we have to do our part," Wang Wei answered. "Oh, Director Lu often mentions you; when will you come by the bureau for a visit?" After saying this, Wang Wei felt it might be inappropriate—who invites someone to visit the bureau except criminals? So he added, "Just to catch up with old friends."
"Sure thing," Xin Yi replied.
Over there, Lu Hanmeng also spotted Shu Rui and Roxy and walked over to greet them. They were quite familiar with each other but had never met Lijie before. Roxy helped introduce them as the women began chatting excitedly.
Wang Wei and Xin Yi exchanged a few pleasantries before heading over to the police officers to get down to business. This time, Wang Wei was not here for a routine inspection; they had received a tip-off that someone was selling Ecstasy in the Messy Club. Ever since they successfully dismantled Lufei's drug manufacturing and trafficking operation with Xin Yi's help, drugs had been absent from Longchuan for quite some time. The emergence of drug-related clues again caught the City Bureau's attention, so they decided to conduct a raid under the guise of a routine inspection, aiming to uncover the source of Ecstasy and dismantle this new drug supply chain.
A Dong, who was both the boss of the club and responsible for its operations, naturally had to cooperate with the police. Wang Wei pointed at a few injured thugs and asked, "What happened here?"
"Oh, there was a little misunderstanding between guests. We will handle it," A Dong quickly explained. "There was a bit of confusion while dancing, and we are currently addressing it."
"Oh? Are these not your people?" Wang Wei asked, pointing at the injured thugs with skepticism. It was clear to anyone that these thugs were associated with A Dong, especially to an experienced investigator like Wang Wei.
"These people are indeed not his," Xin Yi interjected. "My friend had a misunderstanding with them earlier. They were being rude, so I taught them a lesson. They were here to resolve an issue; it's just that you arrived before it could be sorted out."
Hearing this from Xin Yi, Wang Wei decided not to press further. He glanced at the injured thugs; aside from the Green-Haired Monster who was unconscious and propped up on a sofa, none of the others seemed seriously hurt. He figured it was best to let it go and said, "Looks like there are no serious injuries—just some scrapes or something. Alright, I won't pursue this matter further, but please avoid similar incidents in the future."
A Dong quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Officer! We will definitely be more careful!" He smiled at Xin Yi in gratitude for her support.
At this point, the police had conducted their checks and found nothing illegal—just some exaggerated tattoos on one guy and revealing clothing on a girl, which obviously did not constitute any crime. What Wang Wei didn't know was that they had arrived just in time; the Green-Haired Monster had yet to make his move when he was distracted by Shu Rui and her group of stunning women. Afterward, he got into a scuffle and was knocked out. Otherwise, at this hour, they would have definitely caught a few people using drugs inside the club.
"Alright then, let's wrap it up!" Wang Wei commanded. Noticing Lu Hanmeng still chatting with several beautiful women, he called out, "Han Meng, it's time to go!" Lu Hanmeng had only recently joined the Criminal Police Team and usually worked hard; however, today she seemed too engrossed in conversation with Shu Rui and her friends to participate in the inspection. Wang Wei didn't know why she was acting this way but regarded her as a younger sister due to her father's position as an old leader. Therefore, he wasn't angry about her occasional laziness tonight—he simply reminded her it was time to leave.
Lu Hanmeng was enjoying herself when she heard Wang Wei call for her to wrap up. She turned around and replied, "Okay, Captain Wang! I'll be right out!" However, instead of leaving immediately, she turned back to continue chatting with Shu Rui and the other beautiful women.
Wang Wei shook his head and bid farewell to Xin Yi before leading his team out. Just as Xin Yi turned back to speak with A Dong, she suddenly heard a loud shout from the sofa nearby: "You dare mess with me! I'm going all out today!" Immediately after that, a figure lunged toward Xin Yi.
It turned out that the Green-Haired Monster had suddenly regained consciousness while lying on the sofa. Upon opening his eyes and seeing the person who knocked him out standing nearby—along with his older brother—rage surged within him. Grabbing a bottle of beer from nearby, he charged at Xin Yi with the sole intention of smashing her head open. He knew Xin Yi was formidable but thought that since his brother was present, he had nothing to fear!
The sofa was beside Xin Yi, and no one expected the Green-Haired Monster to suddenly wake up. As soon as it did, it lunged forward like a mad dog. By the time Xin Yi reacted, the Green-Haired Monster was already right in front of him, with the beer bottle in its hand just half a foot away from Xin Yi's head. Xin Yi felt a surge of anger; this guy was trying to smash my skull! Although I may not be a stunning beauty, I am at least part of the luxurious Idol Type of the new century. What if that beer bottle hits me and ruins my looks? To prevent you from becoming the enemy of women everywhere, I better dodge.
Xin Yi swiftly moved aside to avoid the Green-Haired Monster's full-force attack. Of course, he wasn't going to let it go unpunished; he quietly extended a leg and lightly tripped the Green-Haired Monster. The monster, initially charging fiercely, suddenly stumbled forward like a rocket. Realizing it had tripped over something, it panicked and flailed its left hand, which wasn't holding the bottle, trying to grab onto something for balance. However, luck was clearly not on its side. In a moment of desperation, it felt something in its left hand and yanked at it. There was a tearing sound as fabric ripped, but the Green-Haired Monster continued to tumble forward uncontrollably, crashing onto the floor two meters away. The beer bottle shattered in the process, splattering beer and glass shards all over its face.
"Ouch!" the Green-Haired Monster cried out in agony; this time it really cried. Who designed this marble floor? It hurt so much when I fell! Fortunately, with beer splattered all over its face, no one could tell whether it was beer or tears streaming down. A few nearby thugs rushed over to help and asked with concern, "Brother Xi, are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Damn! Isn't that obvious? If it doesn't hurt, why don't you try falling down and see if it hurts you! However, the Green-Haired Monster didn't want to admit the truth. Holding back tears, it bravely replied, "I'm fine, nothing at all! ... Just kidding, it hurts like hell! Don't move, let me lie here for a bit longer!"
A Dong was furious at his precious younger brother for constantly embarrassing himself. Not only had he been beaten to a pulp earlier, but now he was also playing sneak attacks. Fine, if you're going to sneak attack, at least make sure you succeed! But how could you mess up even a sneak attack like this? How am I supposed to explain this to our parents in the afterlife? What a disgrace to our ancestors!
Just as Lu Hanmeng was about to step outside, she witnessed this scene unfold. However, her attention wasn't on the Green-Haired Monster but rather on a bag that had fallen on the ground. It turned out that during the chaos, the Green-Haired Monster had grabbed Xin Yi's clothing pocket so forcefully that it tore it apart. The package of Ecstasy that Xin Yi had hidden in his pocket fell out.
Lu Hanmeng walked over and picked up the package of Ecstasy, looking at Xin Yi with confusion as she asked, "Is this yours..."
