I didn't make arrangements for Zhu Da because in a situation involving Fang Yanmeng, there was simply no room for me to interject.

"Brother Zhu, it's that fat man over there. Not only did he bully my classmate, but he also punched Brother Zhao Qian. You know Brother Zhao Qian has the college entrance exam tomorrow, I can't let him..."

"Whoa—Aaaah!" Zhu Da stormed off angrily before Fang Yanmeng could finish. It was truly like running into someone blind—someone actually dared to hit Commander Zhao! This was an utter disgrace to Commander Zhu, the big boss of the underworld, and it tarnished the glorious image of Commander-in-Chief Zhao!

Those city management officers had been blindly running with the crowd moments before. Only now did they understand the panic of the street vendors they usually chased. But there were far too many people in front of No. 1 High School. Those who had already rushed into the campus wanted to get out and see the excitement, while those stuck at the gate wanted to duck inside for cover. The result was a massive bottleneck at the entrance, with no one getting in or out. The city management officers, generally out of shape from lack of exercise, fell to the back and were promptly shoved right in front of Zhu Da by the crowd.

Zhu Da was no pushover to begin with. Now, with his body having undergone modifications, although his poor original foundation prevented him from achieving the immense power of a super-soldier, handling a dozen ordinary men was nothing to him. He rushed forward, grabbed the fat man, slammed him to the ground, closed his eyes, and proceeded to beat him mercilessly. Truthfully, his fighting stance wouldn't convince anyone he was an underworld boss; though dressed entirely in black, he looked more like a ruffian from the countryside.

"Damn your ancestors, is Commander Zhao someone you can touch? You're lucky, kid. If Commander Zhao had laid a hand on you, not even your bones would be left as dust. Today, your grandpa saved your life. Treat me to a meal tomorrow, alright?" Zhu Da cursed while delivering the blows.

The fat city management officer was already too terrified by the scene to speak. Even though the beatings caused him excruciating pain, he gritted his teeth and remained silent, afraid that provoking this fat man dressed in black would cost him his life.

It was truly unjust for the fat city management officer. Who would ever associate a girl handing out enrollment brochures with the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance? Although the Alliance hadn't committed any misdeeds since changing leaders before the New Year, the lingering aura of menace accumulated from their past reputation was still potent. No one would believe a triad had suddenly decided to practice learning from Lei Feng. Thus, even when the underworld did good deeds, people feared them, whereas when police officers did wrong, they were still adored.

Zhu Da waved his hand, signaling two of his underlings behind him to drag the fat city official and dump him in front of the Ferrari. He then tapped the car window on Fang Yanmeng's side: "My dear sister-in-law, Classmate Mengmeng, check if he looks like a pig's head. If not, we can keep hitting him. Don't be polite to me; this old frame of mine can take a bit more beating."

The fat city management officer's nose was bleeding profusely, covering his face. Fang Yanmeng dared not look, saying only through the car window, "He doesn't look like it. I didn't even hear him cry out in pain. Did you skip lunch? I should have asked Brother Ersha to come instead."

The fat city official was terrified; he knew he had just provoked a major force. If he didn't beg for mercy now, these people would certainly continue beating him. The fact that they hadn't taken his life immediately was already showing him great deference.

"Ouch, it hurts my mother! It’s all my fault for not having eyes. I truly didn't know you were all family! Otherwise, even if you lent me ten times the courage, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. Please, stop hitting me. Being the captain of this enforcement team isn't easy either; headquarters imposes strict economic quotas on us. If we don't meet the targets, we don't get paid."

Some days ago, I saw a news report online about a county-level city auctioning off the position of traffic police captain for two million, and another local police station chief having to bid for the post. It struck me that these public servants, meant to serve the people, were now driven by money.

"Fang Yanmeng, let him go, please. He looks quite pitiful," unexpectedly, Xu Chen spoke up, pleading for the fat city official.

Hearing the voice, Zhu Da finally realized there was someone else in the car. He craned his neck to look inside and exclaimed in surprise, "Commander Zhao! And who is this... several-sister?"

Zhu Da's casual use of "sister-in-law" had pleased Fang Yanmeng immensely, but his sudden follow-up with "several-sister" enraged her so much that she jumped out of the car and kicked him. What happened next stunned the onlookers: the dignified leader of the Brotherhood Alliance was being chased across the street by a mere enchantress.

"This is my classmate, Xu Chen. If your mouth dares to speak carelessly again, I'll kick you," Fang Yanmeng warned Zhu Da sternly.

Zhu Da rubbed his backside, feeling smug in his heart. Ha! As long as these vixens kept Commander Zhao under tight watch, any sisters who appeared later would be his for the taking.

Zhu Da composed himself and addressed the fat city official on the ground, mouth agape and unable to close it: "Go back and think carefully about how to do your job properly and honestly. If you dare to bully the weak and oppress the good again, I'll raid your nest later. Don't think that just because we are the underworld, we won't meddle with you."

The fat city official repeatedly agreed. Suddenly, the wail of police sirens echoed from a distance. A look of delight flashed across the officer's face. Finally, he had found his backup. See if you dare to act tough now!

Zhu Da was an old hand; how could he not understand what the fat officer was thinking? He snorted and remained silent. He, Zhu Da, had experienced great storms. Back in the day, leading the 'Rat Soldiers and Snake Generals,' they had caused chaos among the police forces of Jingdu City, forcing even the snipers from the Central Security Bureau to regard them with respect. Agents from the National Security Bureau, the electric men and the poison men, had all been defeated by them. Would he fear a mere 110 patrol unit today? Of course, these achievements weren't all his doing, but unity was strength, and Zhu Da certainly played his part.

Two 110 patrol cars drove in, and the officers, wielding rubber batons, jumped out. Although they were intimidated by such a large-scale underworld presence, duty compelled them to act.

I recognized one of the police officers, so I got out of the car and walked behind him, tapping his shoulder: "Hu Jiao Man Chan Jiao Chan Bu Xiao, what are you doing here?"

The officer was startled by the tap on his shoulder, turned around, and exclaimed too, "Dao Chu Zhao Qian Ni You Lai Gan Shen Me?"

Remembering when we introduced our names at the coffee shop in the Baixing Supermarket on New Year's Day, both of us couldn't help but burst out laughing. I said to Hu Qing, "I'm here for the university entrance exam."

Hu Qing replied, "I'm here to arrest the triads."

I said to Hu Qing, "These are my brothers. Just let it go, lest I cause unnecessary trouble."

Hu Qing shook his head. "I can't do that, brother. This isn't like the national conflict on New Year's Day where we could unite against an outside force. This is an internal class conflict; I dare not make that judgment. Besides, the National Security Bureau has been alerted this time; their people will be arriving shortly. Even if I wanted to put in a good word for you, brother, I couldn't."
