Yan Bu'er's fall caused an immediate and sweeping calamity to erupt in Jianghuai City. One evening, the citizens tightly closed their doors; even the police didn't dare to patrol the streets. Hooligans armed with machetes were shouting and rampaging everywhere. A moment of carelessness could easily drag one into the chaos. Nobody dared to court death.
This sweeping calamity continued from night until morning. It wasn't until 7 a.m., when the sky began to brighten, that the major gangs finally quieted down. During the day, Jianghuai City belonged to the police, but at night, it turned into the underworld's domain. Dawn was the most unstable time, with gangs yet to disperse and police yet to start their shifts, resulting in utter chaos.
