"Enough!" An officer from the Municipal Bureau, who had been observing the situation, could no longer tolerate listening to the young man recounting his experiences of forcefully kissing girls back in high school.
This young man was someone he recognized, the son of an office director. He had once personally facilitated his entry into the police system. Although this kid sometimes crossed the line, he still possessed talent and capability.
Now, the officer was completely baffled as to what had caused this transformation in him. However, the reason no longer mattered; he needed to control the situation and minimize its impact.
With a sigh and a serious expression, he turned to Zou Mi, who was watching with great interest. "Zou Mi, allowing such a scoundrel into our ranks is indeed my failure. This matter will be handled seriously, and I will provide you with a satisfactory explanation. Not a single person involved will be spared!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hua, the director who had been jumping around beside them, slumped against the wall, knowing that his career was over and there was no chance for redemption.
Meanwhile, the one who should have been most affected—the 'culprit'—still stood there with a dazed expression, seemingly uninterested in what would happen to him next.
From his earlier self-critique, it was clear that this incident had been instigated by his former college classmate Zhou Tong. The reason? The 'victimized' boy had gotten too close to a woman whom Zhou Tong had long desired.
Of course, this surface reason was simplified by Yang Xiaoyou out of fear of causing trouble. The deeper issue was already known during his inquiries.
It turned out that Chen Wuyou's best friend Zhang Ya's boyfriend Zhou Tong had recently faced challenges that were beyond what an ordinary person could bear.
According to Zhang Zhongzhao, due to a previous incident, Zhang Ya's company had suffered significant repercussions. To address some issues, Zhang Ya had paid certain prices.
Especially in the past month, Zhou Tong hadn't been intimate with her for quite some time. However, during a recent medical check-up, he learned that he might be becoming a father.
This revelation stirred a frenzy within Zhou Tong. Meanwhile, Zhang Zhongzhao, who had long coveted his beautiful girlfriend, took advantage of Zhou Tong's vulnerability and used his connections as a police officer to persuade and entice him into compliance.
Particularly with the recent upheaval caused by Dream Butterfly's transfer affecting his wealthy girlfriend's company, all these pressures led him to impulsively agree to Zhou Tong's request for help in creating an opportunity by drugging someone—Yang Xiaoyou included.
Should one feel pity for him? Indeed, he was pitiable; however, those deserving of pity often have their own faults. His current predicament was largely due to their own actions. Had they trusted Chen Wuyou to resolve their issues from the start, things would not have escalated this far.
Now, under the sudden transformation of Zhang Zhongzhao—who sought to turn over a new leaf—the resolution of this problem was without any suspense or surprises. Zhou Tong was now in the process of being apprehended.
After exchanging a few words with Same Beehive's legal advisor and expressing gratitude, Yang Xiaoyou approached Zou Mi. "Thank you for your help this time."
Although Liang Wuxuan’s involvement seemed unexpectedly significant at first glance, it indeed helped reduce some complications. He did not hesitate to express his verbal appreciation.
"Don't mention it. It seemed like the problem could have been resolved without my intervention. It's clear that you're an interesting young person, and you've caught my sister's attention," said Zou Mi, a young man who appeared to be just in his early twenties, looking at Yang Xiaoyou with a hint of interest in his eyes.
Just as Yang Xiaoyou was about to say something more, Huang Wei and his group, who had been interrogated separately, were released. Upon seeing Yang Xiaoyou, they rushed over, shouting excitedly.
In contrast, since the main focus had been on Yang Xiaoyou himself, it was evident that they hadn't felt much pressure at all.
"We've already cleared things up. Those thugs took the blame; we’re off the hook now. Uh, who is this?" Huang Wei exclaimed as he approached with an excited expression, only to notice Zou Mi standing nearby.
"We should thank him for getting us out so quickly. No need to be surprised. Huh?" Just after Yang Xiaoyou playfully punched Huang Wei, his pupils suddenly constricted as he spotted a figure at the front of the office desk that should not have appeared again.
"Officer, it's true! Someone really did try to kill me! I'm a citizen of the United States; this matter must be investigated! Why can you give a result without even looking into it? I've come here so many times!" A middle-aged Asian man shouted angrily while banging on the desk. He coughed violently, his face pale and sickly.
It was the very same American he had encountered at the herbal market. The murderous intent stemming from his alter ego had prompted Yang Xiaoyou to take some action when passing by him.
This was different from what happened with Eighth Master; it wasn't just a minor influence on certain functions but rather a direct threat to life.
Could it be that his constitution was strong enough to withstand it?
But what did it mean for him to call the police now? From what he said, someone wanted him dead? And he had come here several times? Considering the timeline...
As these thoughts crossed his mind, although Yang Xiaoyou's face showed no signs of change, his heart felt somewhat heavy. He truly hadn't expected that the drug dealer would recognize someone capable of seeing through his tricks.
Repairing is far more challenging than destruction. Undoubtedly, anyone who could help him would need considerable medical expertise and an exceptionally high level of force—truly a formidable fellow.
It seemed that Yang Xiaoyou's prolonged conditioning had helped him manage his physiological cycles quite well; this time he hadn't considered taking any drastic actions against the man.
Not only was his current state not conducive to further violence, but he also felt uncertain about who might be backing that fellow.
What concerned Yang Xiaoyou most was whether that person behind him might mistakenly associate Chen Hao with their previous conflict. After all, Chen Hao himself possessed considerable skills.
If given the chance, he would need to observe closely.
With this in mind, Yang Xiaoyou kept a watchful eye on the situation.
"By the way, I wonder if Yang is available right now? There’s a gentleman who wishes to meet you," Zou Mi spoke up again after Yang Xiaoyou made his decision, seemingly representing someone who had extended an invitation to him.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaoyou pondered for a moment before agreeing. No matter what, the other party had put in effort this time, and it was better to avoid leaving without acknowledging that.
"Hey, you all go ahead. I'll have a word with this gentleman," Yang Xiaoyou said, directly urging Huang Wei and the others to leave. It was best to let these peculiar individuals go first, as they might slightly affect the impression.
At the same time, a Police Chief who had been following Zou Mi approached Yang Xiaoyou and handed him a business card. He mentioned that if similar issues arose in the future, he could contact him directly.
Yang Xiaoyou accepted the card with a smile, understanding that the other party was concerned about him causing trouble again by bringing in someone intimidating next time.
However, since this was a rare opportunity to leverage some power, he intended to maximize the benefits. He couldn't rely on the Demoness every time something happened.
Meanwhile, having already dismissed his subordinates, Eighth Master remained behind. Yang Xiaoyou merely nodded at him, signaling that he acknowledged his contribution and sent him on his way.
Due to the unique nature of Hive Security Company, it was indeed necessary to maintain sufficient deterrence in Underworld Aspects, but at the same time, it was crucial not to get too deeply involved; keeping a distance was essential.
After expressing gratitude to the legal advisor of Hive Security Company and the bodyguards who accompanied him, Yang Xiaoyou followed Zou Mi out of the police station and got into a rather unassuming sedan.
"Uh, did we forget something? What about the train ticket money?" Huang Wei and his companions stood quietly in place as they watched the car drive away. A cool breeze swept through, carrying a few fallen leaves past them, adding an air of desolation to the scene.
