How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 97 You surnamed Qin, you're a beast. In the end, I'm all alone.

"Sir, during the time you faked your death, some local thugs and ruffians have started to cause trouble again."

After Hong Hao and Wang Baoan returned from their street patrol, they came to report the situation.

Lin Fan didn't even look up, continuing to busy himself with the things in front of him, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable air, "Do I need to teach you this? You are now constables of the Security Bureau, qualified constables."

Whoever causes trouble, we'll take action against them.

No matter who's standing behind them, they won't give them any face.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping over the two men. "Go, bring all those troublemakers back to me. You handle the interrogation yourselves, follow the rules. If there are too many people involved and we don't have enough manpower, just call on the other brothers to come and help."

"Yes, my lord."

Hong Hao and Wang Baoan perked up, immediately clasped their hands in greeting, accepted the order, turned around, pointed to a few colleagues, and rushed out to arrest the man.

After everyone left.

Lin Fan got up and left the main guard's room, heading towards the prison.

The gangs in the city are still around, and the thugs and hooligans are all lying low.

He was there; while he was alive, he could keep them in check.

But he only pretended to be dead for a moment, and then they all jumped out one by one.

It's easy to imagine that if he doesn't completely suppress these guys, they will definitely make a comeback if he leaves Anzhou one day.

However, there are too many gangs in Anzhou, and they are very complex. Many people rely on them for their livelihood. If they are taken down directly with swift and decisive measures, it could very likely lead to the collapse of the entire grassroots ecosystem in Anzhou.

Therefore, he had to be fully prepared.

With his abilities, taking them down would be easy. With just a confession from a local thug, he could lead his men to kick down the door of the other party's house and drag them directly from their home to the police station. But what happens next?
There are many things to consider.

Therefore, his current idea is to find a suitable successor.

……

Prison.

The place reeks of decay. Since Master Ximen and three other masters were imprisoned here, the once peaceful and tranquil prison has been filled with constant noise.

The three masters, Hu, Li, and Zhou, channeled all their fear and anger into a torrent of curses at Ximen Cong. Their curses were extremely vulgar and their vocabulary was rich, repeatedly hurling insults at Ximen's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Seeing his father being insulted like this, Ximen Hai trembled with rage. He clung to the cell door and roared, "You three dogs, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? You even dare to insult my father! If it weren't for my father's support and care over the years, would you have the glory you have today?"

Even though his back is burning with pain, he still wants to fight for his father.

Master Hu suddenly turned his head and spat and cursed at Ximen Hai through the prison door.

"Yes, that's right. It's because of your dad that we're living this glorious life in jail today. Your dad is as stupid as a pig. I, Hu, have been around for decades and thought I had a sharp eye, but I never expected that my biggest mistake was misjudging Ximen the pig. What the hell are you showing off in front of Lin Fan about our poisoning?"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, "Now look what's happened, you've sold us all out. We'll all be waiting to die together in this dark and gloomy prison cell. Are you satisfied now?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Master Ximen simply sat dejectedly on a pile of straw in the corner, remaining silent in the face of the barrage of insults.

At first, Ximen Hai was confused, but as he listened to Master Hu's angry accusations, he gradually pieced together the whole story.

He turned to his father, dumbfounded, his voice trembling with disbelief, "Dad, you...you really did something so stupid?"

He was stunned.

Even the most foolish person wouldn't do something like that.

Master Ximen lowered his head; the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. He had never imagined things would turn out this way.

He dedicated his entire life to his business in Anzhou, never expecting it to end like this.

Even the Ninth Prince, whom he was so proud of and believed to be like a pillar of strength, could not save him.

He looked up at the dimly lit passage. Although the journey from here was short, he knew he would probably never be able to get out of there in his lifetime.

Just then, several blurry figures appeared at the entrance of the passage.

As the person drew closer, the light outlined the face that he hated to the core and feared to the very marrow of his bones.

Lin Fan walked in with a smile on his face. Hearing their noise, he frowned slightly and let out a soft hum.

Xu Ming instantly understood and angrily shouted, "This is a prison, everyone keep quiet! Anyone who dares to make a sound will be severely tortured!"

Xu Ming, who had the strongest learning ability and comprehension, had long been involved in the operation of the Security Bureau. His words and actions gradually gave him the authority of a squad leader.

Clearly, Xu Ming's intimidation was effective; the prison was silent, indicating that those imprisoned there had all witnessed the ruthlessness of Chief Xu in interrogating prisoners.

"Release the four gentlemen; I have questions for them," Lin Fan said softly, glancing around at the surrounding cells. A large number of prisoners had been executed recently, leaving many empty spaces.

Before he arrived in Anzhou, the local order was very chaotic. You could say that if you were walking down the street and didn't provoke anyone, you could be targeted by thugs. Being extorted was considered lucky; being beaten bloody was a common occurrence.

“Yes, sir,” Xu Ming replied.

Soon, in the interrogation room, the four gentlemen were strapped to the rack.

Lin Fan sat there snacking and drinking tea, but his poison resistance didn't improve, so he put the Arisaema aside. It seemed he would have to go buy some new poisonous herbs.

Instead of immediately beginning the interrogation, he picked up his teacup and, in front of the four gentlemen, gently scraped the rim of the cup with the lid, making a soft clinking sound. He then gently blew on the steam, inhaled the aroma of the tea, and let the fragrance mask the strange smell of the prison.

Instead of the arrogant and ferocious look he had when he was cursing Master Ximen, Master Hu revealed a pleading and obsequious expression, his voice trembling as he begged for mercy.

"Lord Lin, please have mercy and spare my life. I am willing to offer you all of the Hu family's property with both hands, just to ask that you give us a way to live."

"Foolish!!!" Lin Fan said indifferently, glancing at Master Hu with a hint of mockery, "You poisoned an official of the imperial court, which is a crime punishable by confiscation of property and execution. Your property has been gone since you were imprisoned here."

Master Hu's face was ashen, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and his body was limp. If he hadn't been strapped to the rack, he would have collapsed to his knees long ago.

"Master Lin! Chief Lin! Lord Lin! Please have mercy and spare my life!"

Master Hu pleaded, "Once you enter prison, it's like entering a deep sea; freedom will be a distant memory."

They don't even respect the Ninth Prince.

He wondered who could control this stubborn and unyielding Chief Squad Leader Lin.

"Master Hu, you are a smart man," Lin Fan said calmly. "Since you are a smart man, stop saying such foolish things. I have come here in person this time in the hope that you gentlemen can cooperate and answer a few questions for me. That way, on the day of your execution, I may be able to personally carry out the deed and ensure a clean and swift execution, so that you suffer less."

Lin Fan let out a low laugh, making such a terrifying thing as beheading sound very easy.

The three gentlemen, Li, Hu, and Zhou, heard this.

His face turned even paler.

Seemingly terrified at the thought of being beheaded, he wet his pants.

Ximen Congming and Bai Linfan were determined to destroy them; any pleas for mercy were useless.

"Lin Fan, you are so arrogant and domineering, trampling on the rules at will. Aren't you afraid that one day, the torment we suffer today will be repaid to you tenfold or a hundredfold?"

Master Ximen was agitated and let out a defiant roar, his neck stiff.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head as if he had heard an amusing joke, a playful smile on his face: "Master Ximen, the fact that you can say such a thing just shows that you don't understand me, Lin Fan, at all."

"Do you think that I can act in Anzhou because of the official position bestowed upon me by the imperial court?"

"Isn't that so?" Master Ximen glared and said, "If the imperial court hadn't given you this official position, allowing you to control the security of a prefecture and eight counties, do you think you could have fought against us?"

Xu Ming, standing to the side, looked at Master Ximen with disdain.

What a stupid guy.

Our master hasn't even shown his true abilities yet.

He hadn't realized it before, but later he understood: his master was very willing to act within the rules, but once the target didn't follow the rules, his master would start to completely transform.

That 60-pound iron rod must be no joke, right?
Lin Fan stood up, walked to Master Ximen, looked at him with the kind of look one would give someone mentally challenged, shook his head, and offered no explanation, since he was too lazy to explain anyway.

"Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. It's pointless."

Then, he looked at the other three gentlemen and said, "The Money Gang, the Canal Gang, and the Mountain Red Society are the largest gangs in Anzhou. I'm sure you three gentlemen have a lot of dealings with them. I hope to learn some information about them from you three gentlemen. You won't refuse to tell me, will you?"

Lin Fan looked at them with a smile, but his gaze was cold, as if it concealed sharp arrows. The three gentlemen couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

Master Hu said, "Lord Lin, if I tell you, could you spare my life?"

"Oh dear." Lin Fan sighed, feigning annoyance. "Master Hu, why do you keep dwelling on this? You're about to embark on your journey, try to be more open-minded."

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming inflammatory.

"Are you really willing to accept this? You're about to lose your heads, while those guys are all unscathed. While you're being beheaded, they might be in a teahouse, drinking fine tea, pointing fingers at you, and finally saying, 'This is what happens to stupid people. You deserve to be beheaded.' Can you tolerate that?"

He spread his hands.

"If you ask me, since things have come to this point, if I die, no one will have an easy time. Let's all go together, one last time, to the underworld with company. Wouldn't that be better?"

When Lin Fan said these words.

Mr. Hu fell silent.

Master Ximen stared wide-eyed, his voice trembling as he said, "You surnamed Lin, you're really ruthless."

It's not that he hasn't encountered tough people.

But he had never seen many people as ruthless as Lin Fan.

This shows a complete disregard for human life; they're really trying to go on a killing spree.

For Master Hu and his men, they had long anticipated their fate. They knew they were doomed; after all, having committed such a crime, no one could save them.

Lin Fan's words resonated with them.

They really don't want to see other people living carefree lives.

"Okay, I said."

Old Master Hu completely gave up.

Lin Fan smiled.

Get it done.

……

night.

The prefect's residence.

With a pale face and little blood in his body, Prefect Zhao leaned against the headboard, looking at Commander Qin, who stood by the window with his hands behind his back.

"Brother Qin..." Prefect Zhao's voice was dry and hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, "Did I... do something incredibly stupid during the day?"

"Stupid?" Qin Zhenfu laughed, not with joy, but with anger. "You're not just stupid, you're practically brainless! Do you really not know anything about what you can and cannot say?"

As Prefect Zhao recalled what had happened during the day, he became increasingly flustered and terrified.

"Brother Qin, what should I do now?"

He was truly lost, somewhat bewildered, and unsure of what to do.

Qin Zhenfu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Brother Zhao, we have known each other for many years. I can give you some advice now. You can't stay in Anzhou. This Lin fellow has gone mad with killing. He will definitely not let you go. While you still have a chance, quickly find a way to leave Anzhou, the farther the better."

"what?"

How can we get him to leave Anzhou, which he has painstakingly built up?

But he knew the situation was very bad.

"Brother Qin, what about you?" Prefect Zhao asked hastily, as if he had grasped something. "Aren't you going to find a way to leave together? Or... are you going to stay and fight him to the death?"

He thought of Qin Zhenfu's seemingly upright temperament and couldn't help but feel worried. After all, they were friends of many years, so he tried to persuade him if he could.

"Brother Qin, please don't be impulsive. The situation is against us, and we are in a very unfavorable position. You must not act rashly and fight him head-on."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenfu frowned deeply, a look of confusion on his face. "Brother Zhao, what do you mean by that? You want me to fight him head-on? Why would I want to fight him head-on?"

"Huh?" Prefect Zhao was stunned, a little confused, and didn't quite understand.

Qin Zhenfu said, "I have never had any conflict with that Lin. I am responsible for maintaining stability in Anzhou and guarding the city. Since he took office, I have never had any serious conflict with him."

"what!?"

Prefect Zhao stared blankly at Commander Qin, his mind in a daze.

"Brother Qin...you mean to say that from the beginning until now, I've always felt that the two of us were working together to fight Lin Fan...but in reality, from start to finish, it was only me fighting him alone? You...you've been watching from the sidelines the whole time?"

He never expected that he would be outmaneuvered by his own people in the end.

Qin Zhenfu's face darkened, and his tone became serious. "Brother Zhao, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me? As a military officer, it is my duty to never interfere in local government affairs. This is an ironclad rule!"
"If I openly get involved in your conflict with the government, and the imperial court finds out, military officials interfering in politics is a capital offense, and you, Brother Zhao, should understand this better than I do."

"Hahaha..." Prefect Zhao couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, you did a great job of protecting yourself."

Qin Zhenfu said, "Brother Zhao, this is not about protecting yourself, but about a major taboo that cannot be violated. Now there is only one way out in front of you, which is to be transferred and leave. The sooner you leave, the better, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to leave in the end."

Prefect Zhao suppressed his anger and said, "So you mean if I don't leave, he'll definitely arrest me? Aren't you afraid that if I'm arrested, I'll expose you?"

"Supply me?" Commander Qin frowned. "Brother Zhao, what have I done wrong?"

Boom!

These words struck Zhao, the prefect, like a thunderclap.

This question completely stunned Prefect Zhao.

Suddenly recalling all the years he had known Qin Zhenfu, he realized that this guy didn't seem to have any dirt on him.

The events that had occurred over the years were mostly decisions made by him as the prefect, while Commander Qin had always been an observer, never influencing his thoughts, at most offering a few comments.

He took the other person's comments to heart. From beginning to end, he felt that this was something we did together. But now, thinking about it carefully, he realized that he did it all by himself.

Fuck!
Prefect Zhao stared intently at Qin Zhenfu, who appeared dignified, imposing, and righteous. At that moment, he realized that this was no military officer; he was a fox.

Just when Prefect Zhao was unable to accept it.

Qin Zhenfu said, "Brother Zhao, we have been brothers for many years. I don't want to see you get into trouble. As long as you agree, I have connections here and can transfer you away from this place of trouble in a very short time."

Prefect Zhao looked at Commander Qin.

Brother Qin is such a stranger.

It doesn't feel familiar anymore.

Qin Zhenfu stared intently at Prefect Zhao with piercing eyes. "Brother Zhao, I'll just say one thing: are you willing or not? If you are, I'll do it for you right away. If you are not, then you know the result without me having to say more."

At this moment, the room was very quiet.

Prefect Zhao's breathing became very heavy, and the heaving of his chest was enough to show how angry he was.

But anger is useless.

So far, he is truly at a loss.

"I am willing."

When Prefect Zhao uttered those three words, he lowered his head, as if all his strength had been drained, and he completely admitted his guilt.

"Alright, Brother Zhao, don't worry, I'll get it done for you as soon as possible. You get some rest, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Qin Zhenfu turned and left.

From beginning to end, Prefect Zhao did not say goodbye, nor did he force himself to get up and see Qin Zhenfu out, until that figure disappeared from sight.

Prefect Zhao angrily pounded the bed, like a helpless husband watching his beloved wife being bullied.

"You surnamed Qin, you're a real piece of work."

……

Two days later.

Inside a private room at a restaurant.

Lin Fan sat in the main seat, with newly prepared strychnine seeds in front of him. He tossed them into his mouth like snacks, chewed a few times, and swallowed. The taste wasn't very good, but the effect was quite good.

If an ordinary person eats strychnine seeds, they will experience generalized tonic-clonic seizures, repeatedly convulsing while conscious, and eventually die from suffocation or failure due to respiratory muscle spasms. The process is extremely painful.

At this moment, there were still three people in the private room. They sat nervously and uneasily opposite Lin Fan, their hands neatly placed on their knees, their heads lowered, not daring to even breathe loudly, let alone look up and meet his gaze.

The atmosphere inside the private room was so oppressive it made one feel uneasy.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Am I that scary?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked up as if they had been pricked by needles, and shook their heads frantically in unison. Then, as if they remembered something, they quickly lowered their heads again, their posture becoming increasingly restrained and fearful.

"Since it's not scary, why don't you even dare to raise your heads? It's alright, you can always ask around. I'm very friendly to others," Lin Fan said.

The three men thought to themselves, "Master Lin, you're friendly to ordinary people, but you're incredibly cruel to those in the gang. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?"

Even their gang leader was once such a tyrannical figure.

Now, they are so frightened that they stay at home and dare not go out casually.

I'm afraid that if you see me outside, you'll take me down without even asking what happened.

They were still too scared to look up.

Lin Fan said sternly, "Raise your heads!" *Swish! Swish!*
Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them immediately raised their heads and straightened their backs, but their eyes still darted away, not daring to look Lin Fan in the eye.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction, looked at a dark-skinned middle-aged man, and said, "Your name is Ma Xiang, the fourth-in-command of the Money Gang. You've climbed up from the bottom to this position, you're quite capable. Your reputation outside is not bad. Hmm, you haven't forgotten where you came from."

Ma Xiang shuddered and stood up abruptly, his body ramrod straight. He replied respectfully, "Master Lin, you flatter me. I would never forget my place, much less dare to harm the people, for I know how difficult their lives are."

"Hmm, don't be afraid, I didn't say anything bad about you." Lin Fan smiled. "Sit down."

“Hey, hey, Master Xie Lin…”

Ma Xiang carefully sat down again, secretly swallowing. He felt his back was soaked with cold sweat. The pressure was immense. For him, facing Master Lin was like facing a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lin Fan's gaze fell on the other two. "You two are not bad either. Although you are in the Canal Gang and the Mountain Red Society, you often do practical things for the people and have received high praise. Of course, this is not something I said randomly. I had someone inquire about it."

Wan Zhong and Li Shi were flattered and felt extremely uncomfortable, as if their bottoms were itchy no matter how they sat.

Lin Fan said, “As the chief magistrate of Anzhou, I must be responsible for the people of Anzhou. When I first took office, I personally witnessed a remarkable young master trying to rape a woman in broad daylight. Can you believe how heinous that is? He was even threatened to report it to the authorities, but he was not afraid and became even more arrogant.”

"When I saw it, I was so angry that I wanted to chop his head off on the spot."

As Lin Fan spoke, he slammed his fist on the table, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

The three of them trembled with fear, sitting there timidly, barely breathing, nodding frantically in agreement, not daring to utter a single word.

They are panicking now, not because they have done something wrong, but because they don't know what Master Lin's purpose is.

They are staying at home very well.

Suddenly, some constables burst in, startling them so much that they collapsed to the ground, thinking that Master Lin was about to attack them. Then... instead of being taken to the police station, they were taken to a restaurant.

Now we just listen to what Master Lin has to say and await the final judgment.

Although, the current situation seems to be different from what they expected.

But until the very last moment, who can say for sure?

After a while.

Lin Fan stopped talking, looked at the three of them, and said with a smile, "Didn't scare you, did I?"

"No."

Shaking his head wildly.

"That's good." Lin Fan nodded, then his tone changed. "Let's get down to business. I've called you all here for one purpose only: I hope Anzhou can be stable and I don't want any unrest. But your gangs are too deeply rooted. If we make any moves, something bad will happen. But we can't stay still either. How can I just stand by and watch the people suffer?"

"What do you think is the best way?"

The three men looked at each other; none of them were highly educated.

When suddenly asked such a question, they really didn't know how to answer.

"Hmm? Don't you have any ideas of your own?" Lin Fan asked.

Ma Xiang said with a mournful face, "Master Lin, I'm uneducated and can't offer any profound advice or good solutions. I don't know what to say."

"Hmm! And what about you two?" Lin Fan looked at the other two.

Wan Zhong and Li Shi quickly added, "We haven't been to school either."

Lin Fan shook his head. "It's terrible to be uneducated. You can't even communicate properly. You need to read more books in the future. There's no end to learning. Having substantial knowledge will make you stronger."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely read more books and enrich ourselves in the future," the three of them quickly replied.

They didn't dare to delay for a moment in the face of Lin Fan's question.

The answer was given instantly.

I'm afraid that if I answer too slowly, I'll displease Master Lin.

Lin Fan said, "Since you have no other way, then tell me my solution. It's very simple. I've decided to take down your gang leader and all the hall masters who are of higher status than you. From now on, you will become gang leaders and help me maintain order. Can you do that?"

"can!"

"can!"

"can!"

The three were shocked, but still decisively said yes.

In front of Master Lin, there is no such thing as "cannot".

"Okay." Lin Fan stood up. "Come with me."

"Master Lin, where are we going?"

The three of them were confused.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Of course, we're going to arrest people and tell them. They've already said that you'll be the gang leaders from now on, so naturally I have to clear away any obstacles for you. I never drag things out when I do things; if I'm going to do something, I do it right away. You should learn from me and not have any procrastination issues."

"Yes Yes."

At this moment, the three of them had a complete blank in their minds and were utterly incapable of independent thought.

When they arrived downstairs, Xu Ming and the others were already waiting at the door.

"Set off!!!"

Lin Fan strode out with his hands behind his back, heading towards the headquarters of the Money Gang.

……

Money Gang.

Gang leader Huo Fei sat solemnly in the armchair, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest.

The elders and hall masters of the gang sat on both sides, their faces grim.

The high-pressure tactics employed by the police prefecture during this period had already fueled their anger, but they had nowhere to vent it and could only endure it.

Huo Fei looked around at everyone and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Elders and hall masters, you all know, right? Our Money Gang doesn't dare to make a move, but today, the constables from the Public Security Bureau went to Ma Xiang's house and took him away. They're going to make a move against us."

Upon hearing this, a buzzing discussion immediately filled the already oppressive hall. The elders and hall masters whispered among themselves, their faces filled with shock and anger.

"Boss, Wan Zhong of the Canal Gang and Li Shi of the Mountain Red Society have also been taken away. He's going to take action against all three of our gangs at once. We should have expected this when Huang Shan and Zhou Han were taken down. We can't just sit here and wait to die."

"Yes, the Li, Hu, and Zhou families were arrested, as was Master Ximen. We had a lot of business dealings with them in private, so this must have exposed us."

"Boss, why don't we join forces and fight that Lin fellow?"

For these hot-blooded and ruthless gang leaders...

I feel so frustrated right now.

Sudden.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Dense, heavy footsteps approached rapidly from outside, followed by a mocking voice that sent chills down their spines.

"Fight? What do you have to fight me with?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the hall turned to look outside and immediately saw Lin Fan leading a large contingent of constables, which sent a shiver down their spines.

Lin Fan walked into the hall and glanced at everyone. "Which hero just said he wanted to fight me?"

No one said anything.

"What? You dare to boast but not admit it?"

Lin Fan smiled.

"it's me."

A young man with a face full of scars and fierce eyes stood out with his neck stiff. He was the leader of the Liwei Hall and was known for his bravery and ruthlessness.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

The young man raised his head and said, "The Money Gang, establishing its authority with dignity..."

Snapped--!
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Fan casually waved his hand, and a domineering force instantly struck the other person's face. Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and their whole bodies were like being hit by a galloping wild bull, spinning in the air and flying several meters away.

boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, his body slammed heavily against the hard wall, sending dust flying. He then slid to the ground like mud, motionless, his fate unknown.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the hall master who had slid down the wall and landed motionless on the ground.

They all gasped in shock.

Is this force even possible for a human?
"You think you can fight me with this? You're courting death." Lin Fan didn't even glance at them, and said to the crowd, "What I hate most are idiots who always want to fight, without even looking at their own abilities."

His presence was overwhelming.

Everyone present was completely silent, trembling with fear and not daring to move an inch. They sat there, not daring to budge even slightly, all drenched in sweat, a sense of panic pervading their being.

As the gang leader, Huo Fei knew it was time for him to speak up.

Although he was also very scared.

But in a situation like this, you can't back down.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and walked step by step to Lin Fan. He forced a respectful smile, bowed, and clasped his hands in greeting.

"I was unaware of Chief Instructor Lin's presence. I, Huo, have failed to greet you properly and am truly sorry. Please forgive me, Chief Instructor Lin..."

pat!

Lin Fan slapped Huo Fei on the head, then pulled him behind him. The constables behind him immediately grabbed Huo Fei's arm and restrained him.

Huo Fei was dumbfounded by this action.

"Chief Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Fan said, "What do you mean? Are you blind? I've brought men here, do you think I'm here to visit you? I already have evidence against you, so take them all back to the police station."

Everyone was stunned.

Huo Fei struggled and said, "Chief Lin, you say there's evidence, so there is? I don't admit it, I didn't commit a crime."

Lin Fan frowned slightly, about to speak, when Ning Yu stepped forward and, imitating her master, grabbed Huo Fei's hair and shook it violently, speaking in a harsh tone.

“My master said there is evidence, so there is evidence. It’s not your place to argue here. If he dares to shout or yell again, I’ll slap him.”

After speaking, Ning Yu looked at her master with an expression of anticipation for praise.

It's as if to say...

Seeing that there was no master present, I've learned the essence of your teachings.

I learned this from Yang Ming.

Huo Fei was stunned. As the leader of the Money Gang, he had at least several hundred men under his command, yet he had been taken down so easily and brutally.

He could neither accept it nor tolerate it.

"Where are they? Someone come here!"

Huo Fei roared.

But after calling for a long time, not a single person appeared.

Xu Ming raised his hand and slapped the man twice, shouting angrily, "What are you yelling for? When Lord Lin appeared, all those people you're talking about were already scared away."

At this moment, Huo Fei saw Ma Xiang's blank expression and seemed to realize something. He roared, "Ma Xiang, you betrayed the Money Gang. You will die a horrible death!"

Lin Fan said, "Huo Fei, watch your words and actions. Ma Xiang will be the new leader of the Money Gang, and you will be a prisoner."

Upon hearing this, the elders present looked astonished.

What?
Ma Xiang becomes the leader of the Money Gang?
Is his status and ability sufficient?
But considering the strong support from Commander Lin, it has to be enough, even if it's not enough. Anyone who dares to say it's not enough will face dire consequences.

At this moment, an elder with gray hair and shrewd eyes rolled his eyes, quickly stood up, his face full of fawning smiles, and ran to Lin Fan in small steps, bowing and speaking with the utmost respect.

"My lord, I am Kong Zhen, a veteran of the Money Gang, and I have some prestige within the gang."

"You have a discerning eye. I wholeheartedly support making Ma Xiang the leader of the gang. I am the first to support him."

"However... sir, the Money Gang has a history of 150 years, with strict rules and a clear hierarchy. Although Ma Xiang is exceptionally capable, he is still young and inexperienced. Even with your strong support, Lord Lin, I am worried that some of the less knowledgeable brothers in the gang might be disobedient and outwardly comply but inwardly defy you..."

He straightened his chest and patted it to assure them.

"But if I could provide strong support and assistance, I would definitely be able to help Ma Xiang stabilize the situation, overcome all opposition, and allow him to sit firmly in the position of gang leader."

He claimed to be a senior figure of Kong Zhen and knew that the matter could not be defied.

He had his own ulterior motives. Ma Xiang was very inexperienced. If he could assist Ma Xiang as the gang leader, he could easily control him with a little manipulation.

Lin Fan looked at him calmly without saying a word.

Kong Zhen felt a little uneasy under their gaze, but his fawning smile remained unchanged.

"Who is this old man?" Lin Fan asked Ma Xiang, pointing at him.

"Sir, he is..."

"Forget it, it's not important." Lin Fan waved his hand, then his face darkened and he said sternly, "All of you better behave yourselves, take them down and take them away."

The accompanying constables immediately set to work.

Immediately, the scene descended into chaos, filled with cries of pain and pleas for mercy, accompanied by the resounding slaps. Once the slapping subsided, the scene fell completely silent.

For this operation, the Public Security Bureau mobilized more than half of its officers.

It can be said that the action was very forceful.

When the constables escorted the people out of the Money Gang, the onlookers were stunned. They hadn't expected that so little time had passed before they started targeting the Money Gang.

Moreover, they caught them all in one fell swoop.

The people naturally recognized the gang leader, Huo Fei.

For Lin Fan, the gangs he was dealing with were actually small fry; the person he most wanted to face in Anzhou was Qin Zhenfu.

Of course, there is also the Mingwang Cult.

He's just really busy right now.

There was absolutely no time to investigate the situation of the Mingwang Cult.

Especially Qin Zhenfu, after those few brief encounters, he found this guy to be quite sleazy, and never had any conflict with him.

Followed by.

On the same day, Lin Fan and his constables forcefully took over both the Cao Gang and the Shan Hong Society. Ma Xiang and his men then began to take over the gangs. They were not stupid and knew how the gangs would develop in the future.

They also deeply realized that they shouldn't think that becoming a gang leader meant they could do whatever they wanted, otherwise their fate would be even more miserable than Huo Fei's.

at this time.

Street.

Lin Fan led his team back to the prefecture, and at that moment, he noticed a lively scene in the distance and heard something about good fortune and prosperity.

He frowned and looked into the distance. He waved his hand, signaling Xu Ming and the others to leave first. Then, accompanied by Ning Yu, he headed in that direction.

There were just too many people gathered there.

Many people were crowding inside.

Lin Fan gently patted an old man on the shoulder, "What's going on in here?"

When the old man saw that it was Master Lin, he immediately became very enthusiastic and introduced, "Master Lin, tomorrow is the birthday of the Ming King. The Ming King Sect is distributing food to the people, as well as amulets that have been blessed by the Ming King."

"Oh." Lin Fan nodded.

Instead of pushing his way in, he pulled Ning Yu to the outer perimeter.

"Ning Yu, how widespread is the Mingwang Cult?" Lin Fan asked.

Ning Yu said, "Master, I only learned about the Mingwang Cult after I came to Anzhou. I had never heard of this cult before."

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then said, "Go inside and get out some kind of amulet that has been blessed by the King of Light. Let me see what this thing is all about."

"Oh."

Lin Fan watched as more and more people gathered at the scene. It was clear that there were quite a few people in Anzhou who believed in the Mingwang Sect. It wasn't that these people were stupid, but rather that the current state of the world made people need a psychological support.

Over time, they became increasingly entangled.

"It seems I need to seize the opportunity to give the Ming King Cult a good beating first. The matters concerning Commander Qin and Prefect Zhao will have to be put on hold for now."

"Damn it, how can my Anzhou Prefecture, under Lin Fan's rule, tolerate the rampant cult?"

Just now.

A follower of the Mingwang Cult appeared and shouted, "Fellow believers, it is the birthday of the Mingwang. The divine countenance is pleased and blessings are bestowed upon me. I am here to perform a miracle. Please make way so that I may demonstrate the miracle of the Mingwang."

Hear this.

The people quickly made way, and a clearing was soon formed.
