With a thud, the bald man fell to the ground, letting out a miserable howl. Without thinking twice, Bai Zilin grabbed the handcuffs and snapped them on.
"What are you doing? Where did this crazy girl come from? Are you looking for death?"
The bald man's gang of henchmen were furious and rushed forward, shouting.
Bai Zilin pulled out her ID and waved it in front of them: "What, trying to assault a police officer?"
This tactic was still effective; the thugs shouted, but dared not step forward.
"Haha, Long San, weren't you so tough? You still got trampled underfoot by a woman today, didn't you?" The burly man with a dark face on the other side laughed loudly: "Let me tell you, this area of Thirteenth Street is Zhang Wu's territory from now on. Even if you go to Tiger to complain, it won't do you any good."
"If you're not satisfied, then let your boss go find Tiger. I'll be waiting for you there. Bah, what a piece of trash! Your boss has only been here for a few days, and he dares to go against Tiger?"
Bai Zilin was furious. She couldn't tolerate such an arrogant person in front of her. She turned around and walked up to the dark-faced man. With a grappling move, she grabbed his arm tightly and slammed him to the ground.
The burly, dark-faced man screamed in agony as he was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
He was both shocked and furious, and he cursed, "Little girl, are you looking for death? What are you all good for? Attack!"
The group of people were already drunk, and when they saw their leader pinned to the ground, they, under the influence of alcohol, surrounded him one by one.
Bai Zilin snapped the black-faced burly man's arm with a crack, then stood up and kicked one of them away.
To be fair, Bai Zilin's fighting skills are quite good; three or five ordinary people couldn't get close to her.
But the group in front of her numbered in the dozens. After she took down a few, more and more people joined the battle.
Ye Xingchen sighed helplessly. Was this woman doing it on purpose?
"Get out of my way!" Ye Xingchen shouted, then strode forward and thrust his right hand forward in a palm strike.
With a sudden burst of invisible energy, dozens of people were thrown into the air with several muffled groans.
He grabbed the dark-faced man by the hair and lifted him up forcefully: "Your name is Zhang Wu?"
"Yes, yes." Zhang Wu nodded repeatedly, his face pale with pain from his dislocated arm.
"Your boss's name is Chen Hu?" Ye Xingchen asked again.
"Yes, it's Chen Hu. Who are you?" Zhang Wu asked, both surprised and furious.
"Have your men call Chen Hu and tell him my name is Ye Xingchen. If he doesn't show up here within five minutes, I'll make him regret it," Ye Xingchen warned with a stern face.
"Yes, call Tiger immediately." Zhang Wu winced in pain but dared not resist at all. He turned to the person next to him and shouted.
One of the henchmen quickly picked up his phone and called Chen Hu.
Ye Xingchen tossed Zhang Wu to the ground and said helplessly, "What's wrong with the Tang family lately? They seem to be losing control over their underlings."
Bai Zilin snorted and ignored him. She picked up her phone and called her colleague. She was going to take all these people back and lock them up for the night.
"What are you doing?" Ye Xingchen reached out and blocked her phone.
"Take all these people back and investigate them thoroughly," Bai Zilin said coldly.
"It's not that bad, really." Ye Xingchen smiled wryly, "These people are all from the Tang family, can I handle this?"
"Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, engaging in armed brawls, and attempting to assault the police—do you think that's a bit much?" Bai Zilin said angrily.
“I know, but these things can be handled. There are people in charge, so it won’t be a burden on your colleagues,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Mr. Ye." Just then, Chen Hu rushed over with a group of people, including Tang Yixue.
"You're here too?" Ye Xingchen looked at Tang Yixue in surprise, then pointed at the group of people: "Your people?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Did I offend you?" Tang Yixue asked in surprise, then her face turned angry: "I brought you out to do serious business, and you've already started this? Chen Hu, take them all back and punish them to the fullest extent of the law."
"Yes, take him away." Chen Hu bowed.
"Wait a minute." Bai Zilin said coldly, "Did I tell them to leave?"
"And who is this?" Tang Yixue was slightly taken aback and looked at Bai Zilin.
"Miss Bai, as a police officer, I'll talk to her." Ye Xingchen smiled wryly, pulling Bai Zilin aside: "The Tang family of Yanjing is tacitly managed by the higher-ups in these matters, so please give them some face?"
"No way." Bai Zilin was very angry.
"Alright then, your chief will call in a bit. Although you've been transferred to a different department, the transfer order hasn't come through yet, so you still belong to the police force," Ye Xingchen said helplessly.
Bai Zilin didn't believe it, but she was proven wrong a moment later when her bureau chief actually called.
"Yes, I understand, I know, I'll make them leave right away." Bai Zilin talked on the phone for a long time, then hung up, her face grim and silent.
"You can go now, Chen Hu. Keep them in check. If I ever see them causing trouble while drunk again, I'll break your legs." Ye Xingchen said to Chen Hu with a stern face.
"Yes, I know, Mr. Ye. Don't worry, this won't happen again." Chen Hu felt a chill run down his spine.
He's really innocent. Some of his underlings aren't even his, so how can he control them?
But he didn't dare to argue and left with his group.
"What are you talking about?" Ye Xingchen asked Tang Yixue.
"We were indeed discussing some matters." Tang Yixue hesitated for a moment, "Perfect timing, there's someone who just arrived in Yanjing, someone you know, would you like to go and meet them?"
"You know me?" Ye Xingchen asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
"You'll know when you see them," Tang Yixue said with a slight smile.
"Alright, Miss Bai, shall I have someone take you home?" Ye Xingchen looked at Bai Zilin cautiously.
"No need, I have legs, I can walk." Bai Zilin snorted, then turned and left.
Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. Helpless, he and Tang Yixue walked together toward a teahouse.
There was a man in black standing every few steps inside the teahouse, and it seemed that there was someone important upstairs.
Tang Yixue led Ye Xingchen to the second floor, where they saw an old man sitting there, and opposite him was a charming and beautiful woman.
When the woman saw Ye Xingchen, she suddenly stood up; she appeared extremely excited.
"Ning Qingyan?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback. "When did you come to Yanjing?"
"I just arrived. I had some important things to take care of, so I didn't have time to come see you." Ning Qingyan suppressed her excitement.
If it weren't for the presence of elders, she probably would have thrown herself into Ye Xingchen's arms and clung to him tightly, refusing to let go.
"You've run into a problem? What happened?" Ye Xingchen held her hand.
"It's not that I'm in trouble, it's that Zhongmen is facing difficulties." Ning Qingyan tried her best to calm her excited emotions.
