"Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember that girl was driving a 3.0 BMW Z4, not like an ordinary girl." Li Yifeng's hands trembled slightly.
"However, I intervened, and they neither checked my ID nor continued to make things difficult for you. It seems they are not from a very powerful department," Zhang Yang recalled.
"They were probably intimidated by how you snatched the phone from them," Fatty Pan scoffed. "I mean, how did you manage to grab it? It looked like the person didn't even move, and the phone just flew away," Fatty Pan exclaimed.
"It wasn't that impressive; I just moved quickly. By the way, send me the video; I'll have someone take a look," Zhang Yang said. Soon after, Fatty Pan transferred the recorded video to Zhang Yang's phone. Zhang Yang initially planned to go find the criminal police team’s Wang Siyuan to see if he recognized these people, but Li Yifeng was so scared he insisted on going with Zhang Yang.
"Alright then, we might as well report it," Zhang Yang said as he took both of them to find Wang Siyuan. Wang Siyuan asked Li Yifeng and Fatty Pan to wait in his office while he took Zhang Yang to the next room.
"I swear, you're everywhere," Wang Siyuan said as he accepted the cigarette from Zhang Yang and spoke in a low voice. "After all, we're classmates; if you found me, how could I turn you away?" Zhang Yang lit a cigarette and briefly recounted what had happened.
"This big guy is Wu Liangdong's man. The Southern District Police Station has too many matters to handle, so they formed an action team made up of auxiliary police officers, and he's the captain of that team," Wang Siyuan said after watching the video.
Although Wu Liangdong is a Deputy Captain, since the position of Captain in the Public Security Team is vacant, he effectively runs the team as its head. The South District is the most prosperous area in Haizhou, with many affairs for the Public Security Team. Therefore, after approval from the bureau, they recruited a group of auxiliary police officers to form an action team.
This action team is essentially under Wu Liangdong's control; he also assigns some less-than-reputable tasks to them. The big guy named Lu Tong is the captain of this action team—skilled in martial arts and composed—making him a trusted aide of Wu Liangdong. Lu Tong's cautiousness upon seeing Zhang Yang is also related to not being a formal officer.
"So this girl seems to be Wu Liangdong's pet canary," Zhang Yang remarked. "By the way, Captain Wang, there's something I haven't told you yet: I'm now an intern at Heavenly Mechanism Group."
"Heavenly Mechanism Group?" After experiencing the previous incident, Wang Siyuan had learned quite a bit about this mysterious department. Hearing that Zhang Yang had entered it surprised him. "You’re doing well; that department is quite impressive."
"I'm just an intern; no matter how impressive it is, it's still power given by the people," Zhang Yang replied.
"Stop pretending," Wang Siyuan waved his hand. "Let's focus on the current issue; this trouble isn't small. Wu Liangdong isn't someone easy to deal with. If we report it formally, your classmate might evade capture for a while but won't be able to hide forever. How about this: I'll call Wu Liangdong first and feel him out."
"I think we should arrange to meet face-to-face; I'll talk to him directly," Zhang Yang suggested.
Wang Siyuan thought for a moment before dialing Wu Liangdong's number. "Captain Wang, what can I do for you?" Wu Liangdong's lazy voice came through the receiver.
"Wu Squad, Lu Tong wants to arrest someone who has come to report to our criminal police team. I think it's better if I inform you privately first."
"What?" Wu Liangdong's voice suddenly became urgent. "Captain Wang, this is not something to joke about."
"Do I sound like I'm joking? That kid doesn't know who the girl is; it's a mutual agreement, and there's no way to handle it. But they recorded the video of Lu Tong catching them," Wang Siyuan replied.
"Hahaha..." Wu Liangdong burst into laughter. "Thank you, Captain Wang. How do you plan to handle this?"
"I think we should meet in person. That kid came with a friend, and this friend wants to meet you too," Wang Siyuan said calmly.
"Oh? Do I know him?"
"Zhang Yang."
"......"
"Wu Squad? Why are you silent? Is it okay or not?"
"Fine... Tonight at 6 PM, Wanghailou." After hanging up, Wu Liangdong threw his phone to the ground, and with a crash, the casing cracked and the battery popped out. "Maregebi, that kid is just born to go against me!"
Seeing Wang Siyuan finish the call, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Captain Wang, thanks."
"I'm helping you, you're helping me. You went to Heavenly Mechanism Group; you'll definitely be needing my help in the future," Wang Siyuan shook his head. "It's tough to do anything serious these days."
Zhang Yang told Li Yifeng not to run around these days and asked him and Fatty Pan to head back first.
In the evening, Zhang Yang and Wang Siyuan arrived at a private room in Wanghailou. At a quarter past six, Wu Liangdong finally arrived, accompanied by the action team leader Lu Tong.
"Classmate Zhang, we meet again!" Wu Liangdong laughed heartily as if he were seeing an old friend. Lu Tong had a serious expression and didn't smile, thinking that this kid was indeed not easy to deal with; fortunately, he hadn't used force back then.
"I think Young Master Wu's use of 'classmate' is inappropriate; I am now an employee of the investigation company at Heavenly Mechanism Group," Zhang Yang smiled and gestured for Wu Liangdong to take a seat.
"Oh?" Wu Liangdong's expression changed as he inwardly cursed: Damn it, he actually made it into Heavenly Mechanism Group.
"That means the last time, Brother Shen is a colleague," Wu Liangdong's expression quickly returned to normal as he sat down with Lu Tong.
"Brother Shen is not only my leader but also my elder brother. Our connection is thanks to Young Master Wu," Zhang Yang continued to smile, pulling out a pack of special white cigarettes that Shen Zhiyu had left for him last time and distributing them one by one.
"Damn! Brother, are you mocking me?" Wu Liangdong shot a sideways glance, taking the cigarette while Lu Tong pulled out a lighter to light it for him. Wu Liangdong was extremely wary of Shen Zhiyu; aside from his identity with the Heavenly Mechanism Group, he had secretly inquired and learned that Shen Zhiyu was actually a Red Third Generation. His grandfather had held a high position since the founding of the nation.
"How could I dare? I invited Young Master Wu here today because I have something to ask," Zhang Yang said respectfully yet confidently.
"Since you're here, I'll speak frankly. You and I have had our grievances, and we can clear that up, but how can I just wear this big green hat?" Wu Liangdong's face shifted between emotions.
"Ignorance is no crime. Besides, it was just a momentary incident; it’s not like it’s been ongoing. And Young Master Wu, you must have encountered such women more than once, right?" Zhang Yang exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Wu Liangdong.
"So you're saying that with just one word from you, I should let this go?" Wu Liangdong extinguished the cigarette butt.
"You may not care about my face, but you should consider Captain Wang's face. Even if he’s not my classmate, if he reports it, Captain Wang will have to handle it. There’s already footage from Captain Lu, and the Public Security Team's auxiliary police went to the mall to make arrests. Even if someone reports it to the province, there should be some response, right?" Zhang Yang said.
Wu Liangdong's face turned pale as he remained silent. Wang Siyuan chuckled lightly, "Wu Squad, I'm handling this officially. If Captain Lu was just joking around with that young man, then there’s no need for me to file a case."
