  Internet cafe owner Zhang Dajie was getting a bit restless at this time, and shouted to Luolin: "Young man... what's going on today? ... How about... you leave first?"

  Zhang's meaning was very clear, she said you got into trouble, don't drag my internet cafe down with you.

  Lorraine smiled, picked up a notebook and pen from the table, wrote down her phone number: "This is my phone number, if someone comes to make trouble, just let them call me directly and tell them I'm studying at that high school across the street."

  Out of a sense of conscience, Zhang Dasao was somewhat worried about the safety of this student Lorin in the future, but seeing Lorin take charge so boldly, out of self-interest, she also gladly accepted it. At this time, if Lorin didn't leave, she couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, after a while, someone would come looking for her, and she would make her position clear: the debt had to be paid to the right person, don't bother me with your trivial matters.

  Just then Lorraine's phone rang.

  "Hello?" Lorin answered the phone.

  "Hello, is this Lorraine?" The voice on the phone was a woman's, with a pleasant tone, but somewhat stiff and cold.

  "Ah yes, who are you?"

  "My name is Jiang Yan, Wu Da Ge called me and asked me to pick you up. Coincidentally, I just got off work. You're at Shi Yi Gao, right?"

  Lorraine slightly furrowed her brow, a woman? Jiang Yan? Never heard of this name, could it be that Big Brother Wu randomly found some relative or friend to pick him up? If so, that wouldn't be good.

  That Wu Dage, whose full name is Wu Jinrong, was the secretary of the municipal party committee's uncle. Originally, Luolin called Secretary Wu to ask him to send a driver from the municipal party committee to pick her up, so that even if it was just an ordinary car, the license plate would show that it was someone from the municipal party committee, and those thugs wouldn't dare to make any moves. If Jiang Yan were an ordinary person driving a private car, she definitely wouldn't be able to control the situation.

  Miscalculation, miscalculation!

  After some thought, Luo Lin directly asked: "Excuse me, are you from the Municipal Committee? Is that a Municipal Committee vehicle?"

  As soon as the words came out, there was an obvious silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a single word: "No." After a brief pause, another sentence was added, "I'm from the Criminal Police Brigade, and I'm driving a private car. Is there a problem?"

  Criminal Police Brigade?

  Lorraine felt a sense of relief: "Oh, no problem, just asking." She chuckled and hung up the phone.

  The people from the criminal police team, yeah, it's better this way. Even if they're driving a private car, it's no big deal. If those thugs dare to make any extreme moves later, we'll catch them one by one, every single one of them will be taken away.

  On the other end of the phone, in the Criminal Police Brigade's office, a tall and beautiful woman wearing a police uniform hung up the phone, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "What's wrong, Xiao Jiang? Were you just on the phone with your boyfriend? Did you have a fight?" a middle-aged man asked with a smile.

  "No, Captain Zhang, you misunderstood." Jiang Yan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't want to explain anything. She picked up her handbag and walked out of the office, "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

  "Goodbye." After Jiang Yan left, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "Young people these days are too impulsive. They get angry at everything. Xiao Jiang has a hot temper in the unit too. If it weren't for her strong background, I'm afraid not many colleagues could put up with her."

  Jiang Yan hastily drove away from the unit, without even changing out of her police uniform, with a belly full of pent-up anger.

  What's going on here? The National Day holiday is finally here, and I should be resting, but Jiang Yan is determined to handle the case in her hands, even sacrificing her vacation time. And this little devil Lorin, who is always busy and can't even spare time to pick him up! Jiang Yan is an excellent detective, not a nanny!

  Just then, the phone rang, and Jiang Yan saw that it was Secretary Wu calling, so she answered with a huff.

  "I'm saying, brother-in-law, must I really go and pick him up? You also know that I'm busy with team matters every day, you can really find things for me to do!"

  Wu Jinyong knew his little sister-in-law's temper and didn't get angry, instead he comforted her with a smile: "Xiaoyan, don't be angry, at most you'll take a break in two days, I'll sponsor your sisters to go abroad for a trip, clear their minds, okay?"

  Jiang Yan typically yielded to softness but not hardness, seeing her brother-in-law being so polite, she couldn't get angry: "No need for that, my sister is busy taking care of the kid... mainly because this Lorraine's descendant is too unreliable. Brother-in-law, guess what he asked me when he answered the phone? He asked if I was from the municipal party committee and what car I drove over in. A high school student, where did all these things come from?"

  Wu Jinrong said slowly: "Hehe, this Luo Lin is the nephew of our municipal party committee secretary Li, and he's spoiled."

  Jiang Yan suddenly realized: "Oh, so you're the young master of the Luo Corporation. I was wondering why you had such a big attitude."

  Wu Jinrong continued, "The municipal party committee has been busy with many things lately, and a small leader was recently assigned to come down. He's been keeping an eye on every move of Secretary Li. It's not a big deal to arrange for someone to pick up the kid, but at critical moments, everything is suspicious. For the past month, I haven't been able to arrange for anyone to do anything outside of work unless absolutely necessary, so I'm only bothering you because I have no other choice. Xiaoyan, consider this a favor to your brother-in-law: that Lu Lin is a rich young master with an emperor's temperament, it's best to just ignore him."

  Jiang Yan was irritable, but she wasn't completely heartless. She sighed and said, "Alright, brother-in-law, you're busy, just take him away and give me a call later to let me know."

  At this time, in a bar near the Municipal No. 1 High School, the indoor lights were dim, and three people knocked on the door of the rest room with a sullen expression.

  "Who is it?!"

  A loud and fierce voice came from inside.

  "Dragon Brother, I, Xiao Si and Huang Tou were beaten up by someone!"

  "Damn it! Don't know what I'm busy with?! Can't you just bring a few people and find your way back yourself?!"

  "But... " Outside the door, Huang Mao took a deep breath and said slowly, "We were beaten up when we were 'collecting taxes', there was only one person on the other side, who explicitly stated that they wanted to slap your face, Dragon Brother."

  The rest room fell silent for a moment, and after a long time, the door was opened, and a heavily made-up woman wrapped in a bath towel came out, twisting her buttocks and running to the small compartment next door.

  "Three useless things, come in!"

  Three yellow-haired men walked into the rest room and closed the door behind them.

  In the rest room, a middle-aged man with an average build but a prominent beer belly was half-reclining against the headboard, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and his eyes narrowed as he watched the three people.

  "Brother Long!"

  Three people spoke in unison with respectful greetings.

  Long Ge didn't rush to speak, his eyes scanned over them and landed on one person's face with a deep blood-red scar.

  "Where did you get beaten up?"

  "That internet cafe across from City No. 1 High School in the alley."

  "Damn it! Good-for-nothing! Who beat him?! The wolf-like man from South Street?"

  The City No. 1 High School is located in the west of Zengzhou, this area used to be the location of an old movie theater shortly after liberation, locals call this block "film field", there are many hooligans in this area, Long Ge eats relatively openly on East Street, and his opposite number is often "Lang Gou" from South Street. The two men's methods of getting rich are similar, their underlings are also half-and-half, both belong to the semi-hooligan category, with roughly equal strength.

  "Not..." The yellow-haired man in the middle looked embarrassed, "He's a student, probably from Municipal No. 1 High School. Judging by his moves, he should be a martial arts practitioner, but I've never seen him before."

  "What?" The two dragon brothers glared at each other, "He's gone mad! Does he know what his name is?"

  The three of them shook their heads in unison.

  Long Ge frowned and took a drag on his cigarette, not because he was worried about anything, but because he felt disgusted that these three useless younger brothers had been beaten up by a high school student. It's worth noting that every single delinquent in the city's No. 1 High School had heard of Long Ge's name, and several notorious thugs within the school were nominally under his leadership.

  "Where is that little guy?"

  "I don't know, maybe we haven't gone far yet, after losing out we quickly turned back."

  "Then what are you still hesitating about?! Hurry up and get people to block the bus station and taxi stand, and also keep an eye on private cars. As long as they're not from a government unit, just intercept them and extorting some medical expenses is also your skill!"

  "Hey... Dragon Brother, are you going to show up?"

  "Get out of my sight! A high school student, how dare you tell me to show up?! Hurry up and get out of here and take care of things quickly! If this gets out and I lose face, the three of you won't be spared a good beating!"

  Three people hastily ran out of the rest room upon hearing this.

  As soon as the door closed, Dragon Brother took a deep breath... Although he wasn't exactly a big shot in the underworld, he was at least a big mix on this side of the "film scene", and his brain hadn't been idle for many years. His experience told him that this matter wasn't so simple. It's very likely that it was one of Wolf Dog's students who had decent skills, taking advantage of the situation to let his own people take a beating, but looking at the situation, it seemed a bit like declaring war on himself. Could it be that Wolf Dog felt that the meat flavor on South Street wasn't delicious and wanted to come and compete with him for food?

  "Hum! What era is this? Still playing such tricks on me, wolf dog. No matter how powerful you are, you're just a big hoodlum who excels at fighting and bullying. In this era, what's emphasized is mutual development!"

  Long Ge muttered to himself, and his heart couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

  It's also his luck that a few months ago, he acknowledged a sworn brother, who is the leader of the recent notorious gang in Shi Yi High School, named Chi Shi. That kid is a material for mixing with society, and his old man is now the vice mayor of Zhengzhou City, with great power, more importantly, Chi Shi is very smart, knowing that to have a certain status in society, one must take care of both black and white, starting to develop his own dark social circle at a young age.

  With this development, in the future, Lishi will rely on his father's connections to arrange a position in a certain government agency in the city. With his connections, he can sell some favors to Longge and get some projects, which shouldn't be a problem. In a few years, it will definitely develop better and better, not to mention opening a bar, even developing real estate is possible!

  "Brother Long's mind began to envision his own magnificent blueprint, and his hands didn't idle either. He quickly dialed a number: "Hey, Chi little brother! It's your Brother Long! Are you free tonight? Come over here then! Bring several younger brothers and sisters along, I'm treating everyone today!"
