“Okay, Captain Peng!”

The subordinate agreed and rushed off to get busy again.

Peng Ru Hai directly skipped the question that had just made him feel somewhat awkward and seriously said to Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan, “We need you two to come with us to the station for a statement.”

“Oh, and you too!”

Peng Ru Hai then gestured with his mouth to Wang Bin, who was standing nearby. At first, he had thought the other man was also a skilled fighter, but after finding out that Zhao Hu and his crew had been taken down by Yang Hao alone, he had ignored Wang Bin completely.

Clearly, he was just a driver!

In real life, most of the time, your identity determines how others treat you.

People like Peng Ru Hai, who are part of the system, have a stronger sense of hierarchy, which invariably seeps into their work.

For instance, he was very polite to Ye Shuyuan, who, after all, was a famous host and backed by the powerful Ye family, but Wang Bin was just an ordinary driver, so his attitude was much more casual.

Jade Land.

One of Hucheng’s luxurious residences.

The price per square meter exceeded two hundred thousand, yet even so, it could only be considered in the second tier of luxury homes.

There was no helping it; Hucheng had too many luxurious residences. As the most economically developed city in the country, many wealthy individuals owned property in Hucheng.

On the large bed in the bedroom, Lu Mingzhe was still asleep, embracing an internet celebrity. They had partied until late into the night, and according to his routine, he would sleep till noon.

However, his phone on the bedside table started vibrating intensely with a “buzz buzz buzz.”

At first, Lu Mingzhe didn’t hear it, but the phone kept ringing persistently, eventually waking the internet celebrity. She rubbed her eyes, saw it was Lu Mingzhe’s phone ringing, and carefully nudged him: “Mr. Lu, wake up.”

“Mr. Lu…”

The internet celebrity called out for a while, and finally, the originally sound-asleep Lu Mingzhe opened his eyes. He looked at the woman irritably and asked, “What is it?”

“Your phone keeps ringing!”

“Huh?”

Lu Mingzhe yawned, picked up the continuously vibrating phone from the bedside table, and saw that it was a call from his subordinate, Huang Mao. He suddenly became alert.

He knew it was about dealing with Yang Hao, a task he had assigned to Huang Mao yesterday. In the early hours, Huang Mao had reported that Zhao Hu and his men had already set up surveillance.

Receiving a call from Huang Mao at this time naturally meant there was news.

Lu Mingzhe eagerly pressed the answer button and asked directly, “Is there news?”

“Mr. Lu, there’s big trouble!”

The voice of Huang Mao from the other end of the phone was very anxious.

“What happened?”

Upon hearing Huang Mao’s tone, Lu Mingzhe instantly lost all sleepiness and sat up abruptly.

“Zhao Hu and his men have been arrested.”

“They’re already on their way to Jing’an District Public Security Bureau.”

This information had come from two drivers who had escaped; Huang Mao and Zhao Hu had been exchanging messages through Weixun every so often to check the situation.

Just after Zhao Hu said they were about to make a move, he lost contact. Unable to reach Zhao Hu, Huang Mao was very anxious and immediately tapped into his contacts to find the phone numbers of Zhao Hu’s subordinates.

Eventually, he got in touch with the fleeing drivers, who told Huang Mao about the debacle where Yang and his small group had knocked them all to the ground.

Only then did he realize Zhao Hu’s operation had failed, and not just failed, but disastrously so.

When planning the operation, Zhao Hu had told Huang Mao that even if they couldn’t succeed, they could escape unharmed, as everything was well planned.

That is, the worst outcome would be merely not beating Yang Hao.

Huang Mao thought it was fine, and so did Lu Mingzhe. If not this time, they would find another opportunity!

However, the actual outcome was far beyond their expectations.

Zhao Hu and his group had actually been arrested!

If they ended up exposing Lu Mingzhe behind the scenes, that would really be troublesome.

“Were they all captured?”

“How could this be possible? Weren’t they well-prepared?”

Lu Mingzhe found this hard to believe. Zhao Hu and his people were well-prepared and experienced criminals; how could they possibly have failed?

“The information came from Zhao Hu’s subordinate; fourteen people in total, only two drivers escaped, and the rest were taken down by a man surnamed Yang!”

“I’ve already called an acquaintance at the Jing’an District Bureau, and they have confirmed this news.”

Huang Mao gave a firm response.

“This is insane!”

“More than a dozen people couldn’t defeat one person surnamed Yang??”

Lu Mingzhe couldn’t help but curse on the phone, still feeling that this was utterly ridiculous!

He had also met Zhao Hu a few times before and had asked him for a few favors, each executed quite cleanly without any mess.

Moreover, Zhao Hu was quite skilled in fighting, and with over a dozen subordinates, Lu Mingzhe felt that even a simple numbers game should have allowed them to pin Yang Hao down and rough him up.

Yet now, the tables were completely turned!

“I don’t know what the situation was on site, but right now, Zhao Hu and his men have been arrested by the police.”

“Mr. Lu, what do we do now?”

Huang Mao asked anxiously, very panicked as he was unsure whether Zhao Hu would expose him.

Lu Mingzhe didn’t respond immediately; he took a deep breath and then picked up a cigarette from the bedside table and lit one.

“Mr. Lu, I’m worried Zhao Hu will expose me.”

As Lu Mingzhe smoked, Huang Mao spoke again.

“Remember Zhao Hu is usually tight-lipped. I’ll contact a lawyer right away to see what’s happening and also remind Zhao Hu not to blab!”
