Da Han had also seen a lot of the world.
Being the head of the enforcement team in the city of Four Nine isn’t a position just anyone can hold.
First, you need strength; second, you need people.
In this chaotic era, you can’t rely solely on having more people to keep others in check.
Right now, he feels like having power and connections is no longer useful.
Do you think these gentlemen here can be easily dismissed?
Just like now—
Da Han’s heart was twitching painfully.
Could Laozi be this unlucky?
From Fanggang! From Fanggang!
The people from Fanggang never provoke trouble; this is well known to everyone.
No need to think about it now. It must be his own subordinates who caused the trouble.
If someone from Fanggang gets provoked, they become like a tiger with bristling fur—untouchable by anyone.
He knew that what his subordinates said must have been exaggerated.
Normally, his subordinates had frequently shown him their respect and gifts. Therefore, Da Han had tacitly accepted their actions.
He was aware that some of his subordinates came from humble backgrounds.
A group of ruffians paid money to get in, all for the sake of securing a good position where they could eat and drink well.
But this time—
Big Han felt that his position as captain was coming to an end.
Poor management, breaking laws and discipline.
This time he’s in big trouble, and he might not even be able to save his own life.
Now, many members of the enforcement team are trembling with fear, and they’ve already confirmed who the person in front of them is.
A group of troublemakers from Fanggang, damned if anyone would want to mess with them.
Niu Haili, you bastard, you couldn’t have picked a worse person to mess with. Now that you’ve crossed paths with Fang Gang, the higher-ups will definitely investigate. You’ve cut off everyone’s source of income!
Many law enforcement officers were so furious that they wished to tear Niu Haili apart.
When Wang Hao saw Luo Haotian and the others, whom he had met twice before, he couldn’t help but step forward, clasped his fists, and smiled, saying, “Brother Luo, and everyone else, it’s been a long time. How about later I host you all and we go to my restaurant for a good meal. This time, I assure you, the dishes will be the best and the room the most private, with absolutely no disturbances.”
“Haha, no need to be so polite. But I think I’ll have to stay for a while,” replied Luo Haotian, returning the gesture. “The leader is really angry this time; it might be troublesome.”
“Where is Mr. Lu?” Wang Hao then noticed that Lu Yu was not here.
“He’s inside. However, he left us a task before entering, saying that he wants to see us get through this challenge first,” Luo Haotian smiled and said, “Mr. Wang, this matter has nothing to do with Li Rui (the sharp blade). Please stay out of it.”
Not long ago, Lu Yu left a message and entered the residential building.
At that time, they didn’t know Lu Yu’s identity and thought he was just acting crazy. Challenging the Law Enforcement Team was nothing short of suicide.
Now, they can no longer laugh.
Brother Luo—this is none other than Luo Haotian, a king without a crown.
People today have gradually come to understand what is meant by an “uncrowned king.” Once individuals of this kind grow into the ultimate beings, they become almost invincible.
If Luo Haotian were standing here, none of them would dare to pass.
Wang Hao smiled and took a step back.
Then he glared fiercely at the burly man, gritting his teeth and silently thinking: You’re asking for it, kid. I’ll see how you die.
The whole world knows what kind of treatment Lu Yu received at the hands of the authorities back then.
Therefore, the group of people that Lu Yu distrusts and dislikes the most are these law enforcers.
Especially the law enforcement units in the four-nine cities, they are essentially thugs who have infiltrated the system.
Lu Yu’s anger probably isn’t just about being petty.
The people from the Flying Tigers have arrived.
A total of forty-six people came.
The auras of these forty-six individuals were completely unrestrained, pressing down on the Law Enforcement Team’s base like dozens of mountains, making the sky itself seem as if it would collapse.
Niu Haili was lifted off the ground and brought over by someone gripping his neck, his face already ashen with terror.
When he was intercepted by members of the Flying Tigers halfway, he realized how much trouble he had gotten himself into.
Among these Flying Tigers members, an middle-aged man cast a grim look toward a person in the Flying Tigers and said, “Lei Tao, you handle this matter.”
“Secretary Wang, don’t worry. This matter will definitely be handled properly,” said the man named Lei Tao, his iron-like body standing there as straight as a spear.
“Lei, Captain Lei, you’re here.” The chief of the enforcement team was now sweating cold sweat on his forehead, trembling as he approached the newly arrived person, not daring to lift his head.
Lei Tao looked at the big man and said, “Good. You’re really good. You’ve got some nerve, messing up the enforcement squad like this. You’ve truly brought shame to Feihu. Not even your father will be able to save you this time—get out!”
Lei Tao took a quick step forward and kicked the big man, sending him flying sideways.
“Stay put and don’t talk back! You have no right to speak now,” thundered Lei Tao, his anger truly like a peal of thunder, shaking the surrounding air with such intensity that it seemed to ripple and undulate.
The members of the enforcement team were all shivering with cold.
Fei Lei’s Lei Tao is their immediate superior.
The entire law enforcement team of the Si Jiucheng city was under the command of Lei Tao.
Now the immediate boss has come in person; this matter has really blown up.
Lei Tao said, “I’ve already learned about what happened. This was your first time coming to Sijiu City, and you didn’t know about the ban here—the mistake wasn’t yours. But how do you explain the act of shooting and killing a civilian on sight?”
Admit the mistakes that should be acknowledged. Question what needs to be questioned.
Luo Haotian and others nodded secretly.
That’s exactly what we need: fairness and integrity!
Fang Hua said, “He spoke disrespectfully, acting as if living in the heart of the city made him superior. I wonder if your subordinates have told you what he said yet. You should ask them why I killed him.”
“Okay.” Lei Tao wasn’t in a hurry either. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Niu Haili over and said, “You come here and tell me exactly what that person said?”
“I, I don’t know.” Niu Haili’s face turned pale, and his speech became incoherent.
“Slap!” The thunderous sound echoed as Lei Tao fiercely struck with his palm, roaring, “You don’t even know the reason—how dare you deploy dozens of enforcement officers to arrest people! Who gave you the audacity?”
Niu Haili’s face was slapped so hard it seemed to cave in. He covered his face and cried out in pain: “I was wrong, Captain Lei. I’ll definitely change from now on.”
“Change it? Like hell. Get out of the city, and from today on, if you dare set foot here again, I’ll tear you apart.”
Lei Tao casually flicked his wrist, sending Niu Haili flying dozens of meters away. He said, “Whoever was present back then, crawl out and tell me exactly what happened. Don’t force me to drag you out myself. Otherwise, I’ll rip off your limbs first and ask questions later.”
Among the crowd, two team members trembled as they stepped forward.
One person’s voice was off-key, but they managed to describe what had happened at that time.
“Speaking rudely and being arrogant deserves punishment. However, his crime is not severe enough for the death penalty. Please give me an explanation.”
“I hit him with one palm strike; now you come and strike me once. If I can kill him with a single palm strike, it’s because he’s not capable. If you can kill me with one palm strike, then I’m the one without skill.” Fang Hua stepped forward and replied with his hands clasped behind his back.
“Okay.” Lei Tao’s face remained expressionless as he suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance to Fang Hua in an instant, and struck out with his palm toward Fang Hua’s chest.
Before the palm strike arrived, the pressure of the palm wind already sliced through Fang Hua’s skin like knives, causing his entire body to rupture.
“Okay.” Fang Hua raised his eyebrows, unable to resist the urge to strike out.
When Lei Tao’s palm struck Fang Hua’s chest, Fang Hua’s body trembled, and his entire skeleton emitted faint, crisp cracking sounds.
This is the sound of bones breaking.
At the same time, a cracking sound came from Lei Tao’s palm bones, as if they were breaking.
Lei Tao struck with his full strength, but when Fang Hua took the blow directly, his body merely trembled slightly.
One had his entire body’s bones shattered, while the other had his palm crushed; it was a covert contest between them, with neither side gaining an advantage.
Lei Tao withdrew his hand, stepped back a few paces, and said, “That person was just an ordinary civilian who thought no one would dare touch him just because he was spouting off in the city. He brought it upon himself when he provoked a soldier. This matter ends here.”
As he spoke, Lei Tao swept his gaze over the law enforcement officers around him and coldly declared, “Starting today, not a single law enforcement officer in the entire city is allowed to leave their base. The military will directly review the qualifications of every one of you. Effective immediately, all chief captains and ranking officers of each unit are hereby relieved of duty. Anyone attempting to flee will be executed on the spot if caught.”
Lei Tao was ruthless, his decisiveness in taking lives was astonishing.
A series of orders were issued. All members of the Flying Tigers immediately disappeared from the scene, heading to various stations around the city to carry out their missions.
Secretary Wang nodded satisfactorily and said, “Captain Lei, well done.”
“That’s all I can do. It’s my fault; I failed to keep my subordinates in check,” Lei Tao replied.
At this moment, Secretary Wang looked at Luo Haotian and the others, and handed them a letter with both hands, saying, “Everyone, this is a letter that needs to be delivered to Mr. Lu. Please help me pass it along.”
“Go personally and give it to our leader,” Luo Haotian said, stepping aside to let Secretary Wang pass.
Secretary Wang was taken aback and said, “Isn’t it required to not only pass but also surpass you all?”
“Haha, that depends on how you choose to resolve it. If you take a tough stance, then let’s see who has the bigger fist, and the stronger one will be the boss. But if you admit your mistake, I think Mr. Lu will accept it. Our leader is someone who responds to softness, not force. Haven’t you figured that out by now?”
Secretary Wang secretly sighed in relief.
In this way, the problem resolution became much smoother.
“I’ll go in with you.”
Lei Tao accompanied Secretary Wang into the residence.
“Big brother, why are you here?” The woman at the reception desk saw Lei Tao and stood up in surprise.
“Xiaoting, are you on duty today?” Lei Tao was taken aback, feeling an urge to crush people like Niu Haili.
His younger sister is just an ordinary person.
If a fight breaks out outside and the base gets destroyed, your little sister might lose her life too.
“I’m here for my friend. But, big brother, how come you’re here today?” The woman ran out of the reception hall and threw herself into her brother’s arms.
A faint smile appeared on Lei Tao’s otherwise cold face as he asked, “Have you been here all along? Did you see any strangers come in?”
“He’s come in, and he even beat up several of my team members who weren’t doing any work and were harassing me,” Tingting said, pointing toward the hole in the wall. Several enforcement team members were crawling through the wall toward them.
“Stay right there! If any of you dares to move, I’ll kill you all!” With his eyebrows furrowed, Lei Tao slapped his palm down and sent several team members flying backward once again.
“Xiaoxiong, tell your brother where that stranger went?”
“He went upstairs,” Tingting said, pointing at the staircase.
“Wait here, I need to go upstairs first,” said Lei Tao, and he walked up the stairs together with Secretary Wang.
The two walked quickly.
When he reached the second floor, he heard a faint groan coming from there.
As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw the entire hallway filled with law enforcement officers, each one groaning on the ground.
“They all say Lu Yu hates evil like poison, and it’s truly not an exaggeration,” Secretary Wang inhaled sharply and said, “Just look at the situation here; these people clearly have loose tongues. I’m telling you, Lei Tao, your law enforcement team might need a major cleanup.”
“There’s no way I’m replacing all the team members. If it comes down to it, I’ll take over as the enforcement team leader myself. I can’t afford to lose face like that,” said Lei Tao, his expression extremely grim.
Losing face in this city is still within a certain scope.
But having someone like Lu Yu clean up for him would be a humiliation for anyone.
The two of them didn’t see Lu Yu until they reached the top floor, where he was holding a team leader-level member, delivering a slap so hard that the man’s jaw was knocked out of place.
“Mr. Lu, please stop,” said Secretary Wang, who couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain in his jaw just watching.
He forced himself to run over and said with a smile, “Calm down a bit. The matter has already been handled; these people aren’t even worth you getting involved.”
“Who are you?” Lu Yu put the person down, looking at the person in front of him, then turned to look at Lei Tao.
Their gazes collided in the void, startling Lu Yu, while Lei Tao’s heart was filled with shock.
Secretary Wang handed a letter to Lu Yu and pointed at Lei Tao, saying, “This is the head of the enforcement team; he’s already fully aware of what’s happening outside…”
Secretary Wang briefly explained what had happened outside.
Lu Yu flung the person in his hand to one side and turned to Lei Tao with a smile, saying, “I really dislike people like this, and I hope I won’t have to use such methods again to help you clean up the mess next time.”
“There won’t be a next time,” said Lei Tao. “If it weren’t for Mr. Lu this time, things probably wouldn’t have escalated so badly, and I wouldn’t have found out what these guys have been up to behind my back.”
“Hmph. Don’t know?!” Lu Yu snatched the letter and glanced at it, saying, “Used to always say that before, and still say it now. Is it really not knowing, or just considering it a minor matter not worth dealing with? Hmm, why is the banquet set for tonight?”
Secretary Wang said, “Well, I’m not entirely sure about that. It seems the schedule was moved up due to certain matters. Someone was originally supposed to come to Fanggang this morning to inform you. I didn’t expect you to come here yourself.”
“Alright, I’ll go tonight.” Lu Yu put away the letter and nodded.
“There are orders from above. Before Mr. Lu arrives at the banquet, I will stay by your side. Incidents like this are not wanted by those in charge anymore.”
“Whatever you want.” Lu Yu didn’t bother with the stairs either, and instead shattered a wall with his foot.
The room is filled with exquisite carvings, and expensive pieces of furniture are right in front of me.
“Haha, fortunately I don’t have to pay taxes to you, or else my temper would be even worse.”
Lu Yu laughed and jumped down, leaving Wang Mi and Lei Tao behind.
Neither of their faces looked pleasant.
Lu Yu spoke without any restraint, and his words were like slaps to the face.
“Captain Lei, it seems that Lu Yu still holds deep resentment towards the country.”
“At the time in Fanggang, considering the military’s actions after the apocalypse, if I were in their position, I would have done the same. Secretary Wang, if you’re planning to win over Lu Yu’s Star Division, I suggest you abandon that idea. Lu Yu is the king in Fanggang—don’t forget his other identity!”
Secretary Wang’s face changed expression, muttering to himself, “A Guardian. I didn’t expect that he was actually a Guardian. Sigh, the mistakes of those years—the bitter consequences just keep growing larger and larger.”
“Let’s go. We still have a long night ahead of us!”
