Lu Dapao sneered, "Go ahead and call the police, what can the police station do after they arrive?"

The old traffic cop squinted his eyes. He knew he had encountered a tough case today, and the leader of these people had to be Lin Chuan. He looked at Lin Chuan and asked, "You... You really want to make a big scene out of this, don't you?"

"I don't want to make a big scene!" Lin Chuan glanced at him and said, "It's your people who are disrespectful, insisting on clinging on."

"But you are indeed too arrogant!" The old traffic cop gritted his teeth, seemingly annoyed by Lin Chuan's behavior.

"Sorry, that's just the way I am!" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Even the boss known as Northeast Tiger in the eastern part of the city has to show me some respect, let alone you guys!"

Hiss...

The old traffic cop took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and said, "Could it be... could it be that you are Lin Chuan?"

"Exactly!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"Knowing our Brother Lin Chuan's name, you should scram quickly!" Zhou Kai started shouting.

The old traffic cop took several deep drags of his cigarette, realizing he indeed faced a tough nut today. He knew Lin Chuan had recently risen to prominence in the eastern part of the city and had done something big—driving Feng Taibao out of Jiangbei City. Anyone capable of such a feat was not a simple character. Originally, Lin Chuan had clashed with the Northeast Tiger, it was said that he took only two men and killed a man at the Tiger's territory, Qinghua Pool.

Just this demeanor alone was enough to give the old traffic cop a headache.

However, if he didn't handle today's matter, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to his superiors. Moreover, all the rookies he brought with him were watching; if he didn't set a good example, how could he command respect?

"How dare you!" The old traffic cop suddenly scolded, his eyes flashing fiercely as he fixed his gaze on Zhou Kai, "You dare to be so insolent in front of me? Even Secretary Tang has to give me some space when he sees me!"

Zhou Kai was taken aback by the old cop's rebuke and immediately shrank his neck. It all came down to insufficient life experience, acting impulsively when faced with issues. But as soon as he met someone tougher and harder than him, he immediately backed down.

Zhou Kai shrunk his neck and took two steps back, quickly hiding behind Lin Chuan. It must be said, the old traffic cop was indeed imposing, just his gaze alone could kill a man. Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Old comrade, you're pretty fiery for your age."

"Lin Chuan, no matter what, you must accept our punishment today!" The old traffic cop's neck stiffened.

"Oh? Let's hear it, how do you plan to punish me?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Fifteen days detention, vehicle impoundment, and a two thousand fine!" The old traffic cop decided to make an example out of him.

Lin Chuan's influence in the local underworld was enough to make an example out of him. If they punished Lin Chuan, he believed that the small-time thugs would definitely become much more subdued. Nowadays, these bastards frequently raced cars, drove drunk, and even attacked traffic cops. Morality was declining, the world was deteriorating, and people yearned for the good old days. The old traffic cop decided to use Lin Chuan as an example.

"What if I don't agree?" Lin Chuan, smoking a cigarette.

At the scene, both groups faced each other—five or six traffic cops. Behind Lin Chuan stood over twenty brothers—Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, Huang Bo... All of them stretching their necks, rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight for Lin Chuan against this group of cops at any moment.

"Lin Chuan, you can't decide this!" the old traffic cop chuckled, "What's the purpose of the law? Do you understand?"

"I know!" Lin Chuan nodded, "The law is nothing more than a weapon to protect the rich and the powerful. For us poor folks, the law is just a tool to oppress and deprive us, a grand ceremony of oppression and deprivation."

"You!" The old traffic cop was instantly furious, "How can you be so impervious to reason and untouched by all persuasions?"

"Old comrade, take your men and leave," Lin Chuan smiled gently, "I won't make it difficult for you today."

"Don't put on such a big act!" the old traffic cop returned the smile, "I've got you today!"

"Alright then." Lin Chuan smiled, glanced at the few traffic cops at the scene, and said, "Just with you guys, I'm afraid you're not qualified enough!"

Soon, several police cars arrived at the scene.

From the police cars, dozens of armed police officers swiftly jumped down. However, this time the leader was Li Jiangping, not Chen Jianjun. Zhang Wenhui followed behind Li Jiangping. This time, it was Zhang Wenhui who personally informed Li Jiangping. Zhang Wenhui had long known about the cooperative relationship between Li Jiangping and Lin Chuan and knew that Li Jiangping had stakes in Haiqing Pool.

"Yo, Old Liu!" Li Jiangping hurriedly approached, grinning broadly, "What a coincidence."

"Director Li, you came?" the old traffic cop glanced at him and was overjoyed, "You came at just the right time. This kid not only didn't have a license plate but also is suspected of speeding, illegal driving, dangerous driving... and numerous other charges, and now he even threatens public officers, adding to his crimes even more."

"I got it, I got it," Li Jiangping quickly nodded.

After that, Li Jiangping hurried over to Lin Chuan and handed him a cigarette, saying, "Brother, we're all family here, why get angry? You're not an ordinary person now, you have to think about yourself and your brothers, right?"

Lin Chuan took the cigarette from Li Jiangping and took a breath.

Li Jiangping whispered in Lin Chuan's ear, "Let it go, give him a way out. Old guys always care about saving face."

"Alright," Lin Chuan nodded, "Since you've spoken, I'll give you this face."

"Oh, look at what you're saying, brother," Li Jiangping was immediately overjoyed, beaming from ear to ear.

Lin Chuan knew in his heart that this matter had to be resolved sooner or later, either by force or through someone's concession. Since Li Jiangping had intervened, it was only right to give him some respect. It didn't just make him happy but also helped resolve the issue, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, it also earned him a favor.

"Old Liu, let me handle this." Li Jiangping smiled and said, "Bring Lin Chuan in."

"Yes!" Several police officers came forward with handcuffs in their hands.

"Don't touch me, I can walk by myself!" Lin Chuan glanced at the officers.

At this moment, Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao immediately panicked, "Chuanzi bro!"

"All of you stay here and don't mess around," Lin Chuan glared at them.

"Yes!" Zhou Kai and the others halted their steps.

Lin Chuan walked toward the police, paused slightly as he passed by the old traffic officer, and said, "I am compromising because of Director Li's goodwill. Otherwise... Today would have been inescapable from a fight!"

Having said that, Lin Chuan got into Zhang Wenhui's police car.

Zhang Wenhui smiled and said, "Let's go, come to the director's office for some tea."

Zhang Wenhui drove off first.

Li Jiangping waved his hand and said, "Old Liu, get your men out of here quick."

Li Jiangping also left the scene.

The old traffic officer watched the police car leave and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, we should leave too."

"Captain, what about… What about this car?" asked the young traffic officer anxiously.

"Tow it away!" replied the old traffic officer briefly.

"But… the tow truck driver is gone," the young officer said awkwardly. "He seemed to have taken a taxi and left, saying 'he won't do this job anymore, he'd rather go sweep the streets'."

"Then find someone else to drive it!" replied the old traffic officer, helplessly.

Soon, several traffic officers also left the scene. Only Zhou Kai and his crew remained, spectating.

"Kai, bro Chuanzi will be okay, right?" Li Qiang urgently asked. "That Li Jiangping isn't exactly a decent guy!"

"Can't help it, Director Li is now more or less one of our own," Zhou Kai chuckled.

"Can he really be trusted?" Li Qiang frowned.

"Hehe, this guy has bought shares in our Haiqing Pool and is hoping to earn more," Zhou Kai chuckled and said. "Besides, we have a lot of evidence against him, how could he not help Chuanzi bro?"

"True!" many followers nodded in agreement.

The group laughed and dispersed, then returned to their worksite to continue their busy day.

Huai Mountain South Road police station, director's office.

Lin Chuan plopped down onto Li Jiangping's luxurious executive chair. Nearby, Lv Yan was busy; she made a cup of black tea for Lin Chuan and left expressionlessly. When Li Jiangping came in and crossed paths with Lv Yan, he pinched her buttock.

"Naughty." Lv Yan playfully scolded, then blushed and ran out.

Li Jiangping walked in, satisfied, and upon seeing Lin Chuan seated on his throne, he minded not a bit and took a seat opposite Lin Chuan, then smiled and said, "You really are trouble, even daring to stand up to the iron-faced Bao Gong!"

"He's the iron-faced Bao Gong?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Exactly," Li Jiangping nodded and said, "This old guy even dares to ticket our bureau chief's car, hence the nickname iron-faced Bao Gong. He has always been an old comrade in their department, and with that character, promotion is hopeless, but he doesn't care and has been there his entire life. Because of this, many leaders in the city fear him."

"He's quite straightforward." Lin Chuan smiled.

"This old guy doesn't give face," Li Jiangping said helplessly. "That car of yours… I'll figure out a way to get it out for you."

"That would trouble Director Li," Lin Chuan nodded.

"Not at all," Li Jiangping smiled and said, "We're on the same boat, how could I not help you? Besides, I should be the one saying thanks, you have helped me so much, the monthly dividends... I feel embarrassed taking them."

"You deserve it," Lin Chuan glanced at Li Jiangping, knowing well in his heart that Li Jiangping wouldn't feel embarrassed at all, in fact, eager to take more. He said this because Lin Chuan's own status in society had significantly risen.
