The gang battle involving a hundred people at the North District New Bridge quickly attracted the attention of the district police. After receiving the report, more than fifty uniformed and plainclothes officers arrived at the scene in less than 10 minutes.
The team leader was none other than Yang Pei from the Third Criminal Investigation Squadron, along with a group of members from the Public Security Brigade.
"Ouyang Qing? You're here too? What, did you call the police?"
As soon as Yang Pei got out of the car, he saw Ouyang Qing under the orange streetlights.
The bulky white down jacket did not diminish her elegant and refined temperament; on the contrary, it added a touch of charm.
"Oh, it's Captain Yang. Aren't you in criminal investigation? How come you're in charge of public order too?"
When Ouyang Qing saw that it was an acquaintance, her tense mood immediately relaxed a lot. She and Yang Pei had known each other since they were interviewing a serial murder case last year.
"I've been transferred to the Public Security Brigade as the brigade captain. The transfer order was just issued on New Year's Day."
Yang Pei explained:
"Look, I've only just taken office and I've already run into such trouble, sigh..."
"Congratulations on Captain Yang's promotion, hehehe... Don't worry, I witnessed the whole fight tonight, and I can give a statement about it later."
As Ouyang Qing spoke, she smiled gently, a radiant smile that instantly brightened the dark, cold night.
"Oh? Then I'll have to trouble you, Reporter Ouyang."
...
Half an hour later, all 122 members of the black-clad gang who participated in the fight on the new bridge were taken away.
Those with serious injuries were taken to the hospital, while those with minor injuries were all detained by the public security brigade for detailed interrogation.
The instigator of this incident, Gao Xin, suffered comminuted fractures in one hand and one foot and was naturally sent to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Gao Qijiang, the person in charge of Gaoxin Trading, received the news immediately that his son was seriously injured and hospitalized, and that more than a hundred of his gang members had been wiped out.
Gao Qijiang forced himself to control his rage and could only try every means to smooth things over and suppress the matter as soon as possible.
...
Lin Dong, the main character in the fight, and Tu Ren, a supporting character, were also summoned to the security team that night for investigation.
Wang Hu and Wan Qingshan received the news at roughly the same time. After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, the two bigwigs immediately made the same decision:
Use all available connections and any means necessary to ensure the safety of Lin Dong and Tu Ren.
For a time, the three major underground forces in the North District each displayed their unique abilities and secretly engaged in a power struggle.
In the northern district, both the legitimate and criminal worlds are thrown into turmoil by a fight...
That same evening, news of a gang fight that broke out on the new bridge, in which two men completely overpowered a hundred others, quickly spread.
The following evening, the Southern Metropolis TV program "Qingqing Online" broadcast a video of the fight scene.
This edited and musically-studded, incredibly powerful two-and-a-half-minute video, once aired, instantly stunned everyone and overturned countless people's perceptions:
It turns out that there really are people in this world who can take on a hundred opponents single-handedly.
Faced with absolute power and speed, even a hundred-man gang wielding steel pipes would be no match for them.
In the video footage, the ruthless Tu Ren took down nearly 30 people by exchanging injuries. While the fight was impressive, it was still within acceptable limits.
But the man in the black suit moved through the crowd like a blur, each strike bringing someone down...
This man actually took down nearly a hundred armed thugs with his bare hands?
Is this... even human? Is this a martial arts film?
As a result, the TV station received hundreds of complaints from the public over two consecutive days.
The reason is that the television program team used clumsy martial arts stunts as news content to fool and deceive the audience.
Ordinary people with simple minds would never accept anything beyond their comprehension, because it's too fantastical.
Amidst the public outcry and pressure from the police and higher authorities, the television station had no choice but to issue a public explanation:
"Due to the negligence of the program team, the footage of a martial arts video editing enthusiast was mistakenly broadcast as news."
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and extremely negative impact caused to the general public..."
The show's host, Ouyang Qing, was quite frustrated, thinking she had uncovered a sensational news story, only to be misunderstood as having fabricated martial arts stunt footage.
What kind of world is this?
However, Yang Pei, who was in charge of investigating the case, made a special call and asked for a copy of the video of the brawl.
It is clear that the police are well aware of the truth of the matter, but things that are too fantastical cannot be disclosed to the public.
What's even more unexpected is that Wang Hu from the North District, along with several influential underground forces in the South City, also used various connections to obtain a copy of the video from the television station.
This unexpected fight, like a bomb exploding in the cold night, shocked both the legitimate and criminal underworld of Nandu.
...
After much effort by Wang Hu and Wan Qingshan, Lin Dong and Tu Ren were finally released after being detained for 48 hours.
The publicly disclosed results of the investigation are as follows:
Lin and Tu fought back against over a hundred thugs wielding weapons, which constitutes legitimate self-defense.
Although the counterattack was a bit ruthless, causing extensive fractures and injuries to the opponent.
However, after private negotiations among the three parties, Wang Hu and Wan Qingshan paid several hundred thousand yuan in medical expenses, and the matter was considered settled.
Under the mediation and pressure from all sides, Gao Qijiang had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.
...
Lin Dong left the police station, returned to his rented apartment, took a hot shower, and went straight to sleep.
All the outside disturbances can wait until I wake up.
