"Stop!" a sharp shout rang out. Immediately afterward, a patrol of special agents approached.

This did not surprise anyone.

Having just experienced two days of major power outages, security is now very tight, with special police officers patrolling even late at night.

"What's going on?" the special agent in charge asked a burly older man in a deep voice.

"This brat is insulting patriots! He's an enemy agent! Arrest him immediately!" the older, burly man said hurriedly to the special agents.

Upon hearing this, the special agent leading the team looked at the young man.

"I'm innocent!" the young man said innocently, and then began to explain the whole story.

The surrounding onlookers also chimed in with their comments, occasionally glancing at the burly men and covering their mouths to chuckle.

"Alright, we understand the situation." The special agent in charge nodded.

He then looked at the burly men and said in a deep voice, "This matter ends here. Things have been chaotic enough these past few days. If you cause any more trouble, we will arrest you on charges of provoking trouble!"

The burly men were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

They originally thought the special agents would stand by their side, after all, they were talking about the greater good! Who would have thought they would be met with a scolding instead!

The group was quite dissatisfied with this outcome.

A burly man couldn't help but say to the special agents, "All you do is bully us ordinary folks. If you're so capable, go and fight Merika!"

Upon hearing this, the special operations captain frowned and looked seriously at the burly man.

His voice carried an undeniable authority: "Patriotism is not something to be said, much less expressed through threats and intimidation. Patriotism requires the concrete actions of each and every one of us, and it requires us to maintain social harmony and stability, not to create chaos and conflict."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The power outages of the past two days have already caused great losses and inconvenience to our country. At this time, we should unite as one to overcome the difficulties, instead of creating trouble and causing problems here. If you truly love your country, you should focus your energy on how to contribute to the country, instead of making unreasonable demands here."

The special operations captain spoke those last words with great emphasis.

The burly men dared not refute this further.

"Everyone, please disperse! Although it's good news that our power system has been restored, it's getting late, so please go back and rest," the special operations captain said to the surrounding crowd.

Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed in a huff, and several burly men took advantage of the chaos to slink away.

Having understood the situation, the special agents resumed their patrol in orderly formation.

Seeing that the group of burly men had disappeared, the stall owner shook his head helplessly. The group hadn't paid yet!

However, he was also somewhat relieved that at least a fight didn't break out tonight, otherwise his stall would have been in serious trouble.

After this incident, Chen Yu and his companion lost their appetite.

He called the stall owner over, then took out a wad of banknotes and handed it to him, saying, "This whole thing started because of us, and you've caused trouble. Consider this money as compensation for you."

"No, no, you mustn't," the vendor repeatedly refused.

Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "Those people from earlier will probably come back to cause trouble for you in the next few days. Take this money and don't come out to set up your stall for a while."

"This..." The stall owner hesitated upon hearing this.

After Chen Yu's reminder, he realized that those burly men might actually vent their anger on him, since he was the easiest to find.

While the vendor hesitated, Chen Yu had already left his seat with Lin Lele.

After taking only a few steps, Chen Yu seemed to remember something.

He then turned to the stall owner and reminded him, "By the way, I suggest you buy more food and stock up at home these next few days. After all, who knows if this power outage is really over?"

Without waiting for the stall owner's reaction, he quickly left.

Not long after leaving the food street, a young man's voice rang out behind Chen Yu: "Brother, wait for me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu frowned and stopped in his tracks.

"Mr. Chen, it's that spirited young man who spoke up for justice just now," Lin Lele whispered.

At this moment, the young man caught up and said to Chen Yu, panting, "Brother, I was just about to go find you, but you disappeared as soon as I turned around. I almost couldn't find you."

"What is it?" Chen Yu asked casually.

The young man scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just... it's just..."

The young man stammered for a long time, unable to speak, showing none of the composure he had displayed when mocking the burly man.

"I'm leaving now if there's nothing else," Chen Yu said impatiently.

Although the young man had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the burly men, they were already trying to back down and settle the matter peacefully. The young man's intervention only added fuel to the fire, giving the impression that he was eager to stir up trouble.

Moreover, he might end up getting himself into trouble, which is far too reckless.

Therefore, Chen Yu didn't have much of a liking for this young man.

Hearing Chen Yu's tone, the young man became somewhat anxious and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, I hope to work for you!"

"Oh~?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"I know, you are the famous genius investor Chen Yu!" the young man said excitedly, his eyes shining with admiration. "I have been following you, you are my idol! My biggest wish in this life is to join your company!"

Hearing the young man's words, Chen Yu finally understood why he had done something so self-destructive earlier—he wanted to get his attention!
