"It suddenly went quiet."
The waiters waiting outside were curious and surprised when the noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
One waiter tiptoed to the door, trying to peek inside through a crack.
The manager stopped them, sternly saying, "Do you have any idea what kind of organization the Flying Dragon Group is? Trying to peek like this? If you get caught, no one can save you."
The waiter was frightened by the manager.
He was right.
How could she have become so bold? She gave him a grateful look. The manager was good; he reminded her of important things in times of crisis. She actually found the manager quite manly and caring.
Oh dear!
How could she have such thoughts? The manager is twenty-two years older than her. How embarrassing!
Inside the banquet hall.
Lin Fan looked at the unconscious figures, nodding with satisfaction. Everything he did was for their own good. Only by being a good person could one contribute to society.
He originally wanted to act immediately, but the dishes on the table hadn't been finished yet. He had to fill his stomach.
A moment later.
Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, a voice answered.
"Hello, this is H City Police Department. How can I help you?"
A familiar female voice.
He wasn't mistaken. The one who answered the phone was the operator named Han Li.
Lin Fan said, "I want to be a good person."
"Sir, the fact that you can freely call here means you haven't broken the law. You are already a good person."
Han Li felt that the calls she had been receiving recently were all strange. Last night, she received a call where the person asked how a bad person could become a good person. She found it quite odd.
And now, another person called with a similar question.
The voice sounded familiar, like she had heard it somewhere before. Could it be the same person?
Lin Fan said, "No, I watched a video, and I realized I broke the law. So now I want to be a good person."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, some confusion, obvious surprise, and even bewilderment. Many question marks seemed to be floating around.
"What's your name?"
Lin Fan said, "Zhu Fei."
"Oh, Mr. Zhu, actually..."
"What did you say your name was? Zhu Fei of the Flying Dragon Group?"
Lin Fan said, "Yes."
Instantly, he heard hurried shouts from the other end of the phone, followed by many people gathering around, as if they had discovered some shocking secret.
After an unknown amount of time.
Lin Fan put down the phone, smiling as he sat there, quietly waiting for their arrival. They had already agreed on a time. We'll wait for you at the hotel. Come on over.
Because of this phone call.
The other side was indeed completely busy.
Xu Jian's superior frantically called his undercover agent, the meaning very clear: What the hell is Zhu Fei doing? Is he trying to show his hand and start a war with us?
He made dozens of calls, but none were answered.
He didn't know why.
Sweat covered his forehead, and there was only one thought in his mind: They've been exposed. Xu Jian's undercover identity has been discovered, and he's been secretly executed.
They assembled with live ammunition, gathered hundreds of people, and then drove towards the Junyue Hotel.
The participants in this operation had sweaty palms. They were really nervous, after all, they were about to face the largest organization in H City, the Flying Dragon Group. How could they not be nervous?
After a while.
The sound of dense footsteps came from outside the banquet hall.
Bang!
The banquet hall door was pushed open, and people holding riot shields advanced side by side. They thought a fierce battle would ensue, but when they saw the situation inside, they stared blankly, their minds full of question marks.
What the hell is going on?
Lin Fan stood up and waved at them, "I'm here."
A person who looked like a leader walked towards Lin Fan, his face not looking good, even extremely gloomy. Impatiently, he said, "Zhu Fei, don't think you can be above the law. Do you know the consequences of making a false report?"
"You made so many of us come here just to watch you all drunk?"
He already thought this was Zhu Fei playing a trick on them.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I want to be a good person."
His smile was sincere and genuine, giving the impression that he wasn't joking, but was serious.
Lin Fan opened his laptop and played a video. "I want to be a good person now."
The leader was about to say something, but when he saw the images on the laptop screen, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, then continued to watch the video.
He looked at Lin Fan, then back at the screen.
He was in a state of confusion.
The leader took a deep breath and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder. "I don't know what you mean or what you're thinking, but... I respect you as a man."
"Take them away."
"Gather everyone and take everyone here away."
There were too many people at the scene, and their numbers were simply not enough.
The hotel manager watched in stunned silence, then called the boss to explain the situation. The people from the Flying Dragon Group had been taken away.
The boss was getting a massage and didn't pay much attention at first. When he finally understood, he immediately asked if the final payment had been settled. When he learned that it hadn't, he was so shocked that he almost choked.
…
Duan Shanhu was living a relatively leisurely life. The only thing that bothered him was the Flying Dragon Group. If it weren't for them blocking his way, he would be the overlord of H City now.
Just then.
A confidant rushed in and said, "Boss, good news! All the people from the Flying Dragon Group have been taken away from the Junyue Hotel. I heard dozens of cars came. They're finished."
"What did you say?" Duan Shanhu abruptly stood up, his eyes wide. "Is what you said true?"
The confidant said, "It's true. It's all over the city now. Everyone knows the Flying Dragon Group is finished."
Duan Shanhu's face flushed with excitement, his blood rushing.
"Good, good."
"Damn it, I knew the Flying Dragon Group would be finished, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast. Heaven helps me! I'll see who dares to compete with me, Duan Shanhu, in H City from now on."
Duan Shanhu was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He wanted to tear his clothes and roar.
From now on, H City is mine.
All the territory is mine.
When Eighth Master, who was staying at home to avoid trouble, heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief. My god, that was really scary. If he had gone to the banquet, he would probably have been arrested too.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
His reputation would have been ruined.
Several days later.
In the interrogation room, a single light shone on Duan Shanhu's face.
Duan Shanhu shielded his eyes, slowly adapting and opening them. His face was very pale, without a trace of color.
The interrogator asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Duan Shanhu, handcuffed, took a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly said, "I really didn't expect it. A normal person would absolutely never do such a thing. He's really sick, like mentally ill."
Duan Shanhu was the epitome of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
After learning that Zhu Fei had been arrested, he was so excited that he didn't sleep that night, taking his小弟 to the club to celebrate.
Until he was invited here the next day.
To be honest.
He scoffed at it at first. Trying to cause trouble again?
Trying to arrest me without evidence? He felt like they were full of it, dreaming.
Until the video was placed in front of him, Duan Shanhu's face turned ugly, as if he had seen a ghost. How the hell did this end up here?
The interrogator said, "No, his ideological awareness is very high. He wants to be a good person."
Duan Shanhu laughed, "With all the crimes he's committed, does he still have a chance to be a good person?"
The interrogator smiled. "I don't know about him, but you probably don't have that chance. I have to say, you've been entrenched in H City, causing so much harm. Now we've finally uprooted you. To be honest, we're very grateful to Zhu Fei. If it weren't for him handing over all the evidence, it would have been really difficult to catch you."
Duan Shanhu said, "I want to see my lawyer."
He appeared calm, but he was actually very panicked.
On the rooftop.
The wind was strong.
Xu Jian had a bright smile on his face. He had never felt so relaxed and at ease. "Boss, can I have my identity back now? It's all over."
His undercover career was finally over.
A beautiful new era was finally coming.
He waited for his boss's answer, but there was no sound. He turned around to see his boss leaning on the railing, silently smoking. He had a bad feeling for some reason.
"Xu Jian, tell me, why did Zhu Fei sell himself out?"
Xu Jian said, "Maybe his conscience got the better of him."
"No, it wasn't his conscience. He definitely has an ulterior motive, a huge one. Maybe he's taking the fall for someone. Zhu Fei was able to run rampant in H City in such a short time. To say that there's no one backing him is simply impossible." The boss was meticulous and thoughtful.
Xu Jian had a bad premonition. "Boss, just say what you want to say. Let's see if I can handle it first."
"You continue to go undercover in prison and find out who Zhu Fei's protector is. I know this request is cruel to you, but everything we do is to create a better future. We both have this responsibility." The boss soothed Xu Jian's emotions while brainwashing him.
He just hoped he would agree.
Xu Jian stared at him in disbelief. "Aren't you being too cruel? I've been undercover for so many years. What I've suffered, what I've experienced, isn't something ordinary people can bear. Now that everything is resolved, why do you care who his protector is? That's the interrogators' job. What does it have to do with us?"
The boss sighed and patted Xu Jian on the shoulder. "We've already asked, but Zhu Fei is tight-lipped. We can't get anything out of him. And he says there's no one, no so-called protector. You know, it's impossible to make him tell the truth. Only you, undercover by his side, can find a breakthrough based on the usual clues."
"You're an experienced undercover agent. I believe you can do it."
Xu Jian shook his head. "I can't."
The boss slowly said, "I've talked to the higher-ups. If this is successful, you'll have made a great contribution. I can't guarantee a very high position, but it will definitely be deputy bureau chief, and you'll also get a bonus, enough for you to travel the world and relax."
"At the same time, you'll also be given a house in a good school district, so your children can go to school nearby. Think about it."
Hearing these benefits.
He, who had been one hundred percent against it, wavered.
"Boss, this..."
Xu Jian looked troubled. This made him not know what to do.
Can you please stop tempting me?
