As soon as Chu Yang went upstairs, he saw a lot of media people gathered in the corridor, and Shen Tao, the deputy director of the law enforcement bureau, was talking eloquently.

A chubby boy wearing glasses asked loudly, "Reliable sources say that Captain Xiao cheated in a previous martial arts assessment by the law enforcement bureau. Moreover, he colluded with the Su Group to suppress some companies and steal trade secrets, which is why that poor 'Bomber' did such an extreme thing."

Shen Tao, however, wore a mysterious expression, sighed with a wry smile, and said, "Justice will prevail, and I believe everyone's eyes are discerning! The investigation into Xiao Zhi has begun, and results will be available soon. We will not tolerate him simply because he works for the law enforcement bureau!"

"Some senior executives of the Su Group have been summoned to the law enforcement bureau for investigation. Our law enforcement bureau will absolutely not allow certain wealthy and powerful individuals to act with impunity!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among all media professionals.

Although these words were not explicitly stated, they essentially corroborated the little fat boy's question earlier.

Almost everyone started editing press releases at the same time, intending to be the first to publish them.

The chubby boy led the cheers.

"Director Shen, it's a blessing for us ordinary people in Donghai to have such a good official who serves the country and its people! You are the nemesis of evil!"

The others followed suit.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. That beautiful female CEO has driven everyone to the brink of despair."

"Hey, didn't we report on that Su Group marriage proposal incident just a couple of days ago? Those rich people not only have extravagant lifestyles, but they're also ruthless."

"She married a convict, so what kind of decent person do you think she is? Arresting her is the right thing to do!"

Chu Yang frowned slightly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Shen Tao and the chubby boy, noticing that the two were acting strangely.

After their conversation ended, they deliberately avoided each other's gazes, which was very unusual.

Just then, the chubby boy quietly withdrew from the crowd, seemingly ready to retire gracefully.

Chu Yang grabbed the chubby boy by the collar. "Where are you going?"

The chubby boy was startled. "W-what are you going to do?"

Chu Yang raised his hand and gently patted the chubby boy's face twice. "You think you can just run away after splashing dirty water on someone?"

After a moment of panic, the chubby boy shouted, "Look everyone! Someone is retaliating against us media people who speak out for justice!"

Chu Yang was surrounded by media personnel.

Seeing this, the chubby boy felt confident. "He must be Xiao Zhi's henchman and the Su Group's lackey!"

Those media professionals, who were just worried about not being able to find any decent material, are now all attacking each other like they've been injected with steroids.

"Let him go! You wicked accomplice to evil!"

"That's incredibly audacious! It seems that Xiao Zhi and the Su Group's affairs are definitely not simple; they might even be involved with organized crime!"

"Director Shen, arrest this guy quickly and rid the people of this scourge!"

Some people were criticizing him, while others were pointing their cameras at Chu Yang, ready to film him.

Chu Yang casually flicked out several silver needles.

"Crackling sound..."

All the lenses were pierced by silver needles.

"Ahhh... my equipment cost over 20,000!"

"You owe us money to replace our equipment!"

In an instant, shouts filled the corridor.

Facing the clamoring media personnel, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and sent out two words from his dantian: "Shut up!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it made the eardrums of those around him ache, and they immediately fell silent.

"You think you can just take pictures of whoever you want with that crappy camera? Did I give you permission to do so?"

The chubby boy shouted, "This is our media's freedom!"

Inspired by him, the other media professionals also clenched their fists.

Before they could even shout, they heard a sharp "snap".

The chubby boy's face immediately swelled up.

"Your freedom cannot interfere with my freedom!" Chu Yang responded coldly, pointing to the ward, "There is a law enforcement officer who was injured in the line of duty lying in there. Instead of thinking about promoting positive energy, you are full of nonsense, hearsay, and then you start spewing filth."

To this day, no one has presented any strong evidence, and no one knows where those rumors originated.

But all people want to report is news that everyone likes to see; nobody cares about the facts.

Even if the report is false, no one will take responsibility, and if there is a reversal later, they can gain another wave of traffic.

While the media personnel were still in a daze, Chu Yang stared at the chubby boy and asked:

"Which media outlet are you from?"

"What...what business is it of yours which media outlet I belong to?"

The chubby boy made a final struggle and raised his voice again.

"Director Shen, you can't just stand by and watch these thugs commit crimes."

Shen Tao didn't know Chu Yang, but he remembered seeing Chu Yang and Xiao Zhi at the hospital entrance before, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.

He pointed at Chu Yang and said, "Release that media friend of yours immediately, and I might consider only taking you back to jail for three days."

Chu Yang's lips curled into a smile. "Hmph! Seeing your duo suffering, you finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

"You're making false accusations!" Shen Tao shouted angrily. "Since you're so stubborn, then you'll have to try the coffee in the interrogation room of the law enforcement bureau."

Chu Yang, however, smiled dismissively.

"Arrest me? Just because I said Xiao Zhi was injured on duty, just because I said you slandered someone's company without any evidence?"

Shen Tao scoffed disdainfully, "So many people know those people have problems. You, a clown, are just trying to attract attention and disrupt public order. Shouldn't you be arrested?"

Everyone agreed, "People like that should be thrown in jail."

"Chief, please order his arrest immediately!"

Chu Yang suddenly smiled and pointed at Shen Tao and the people around him.

"You bunch of trash, all you do is bark. What good are numbers? You're just a greedy rabble."

He calmly picked up his phone and made a call.

"Mayor Lü, didn't you say you were going to apply for a 'Purple Gold Guardian Medal' for Xiao Zhi, the captain of the law enforcement bureau, who was heroically injured today?"

Lu Wenguang, on the other end of the phone, was completely stunned.

"Mr. Chu...? I'm not quite sure about this matter yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yang continued, "Can you get him to the hospital within fifteen minutes?"

Lu Wenguang paused for a moment, then finally uttered a single word, "Good!"

Chu Yang put the phone in his pocket and glanced at everyone.

"You all heard that? You bunch of whining, howling bastards, are you trying to say that Lü Wenguang is blind?"

The crowd, which had been recklessly mocking and hurling insults, immediately fell silent.

Even Shen Tao was stunned.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Chu Yang's words were not credible.

There has been no official announcement regarding this matter at present.

Even if the mayor knew, it would only be based on rumors that had been spread, and there was no way he would apply for any medal for Xiao Zhi.

"You clown, you're good at spreading rumors and misleading the public. How dare someone like you speak with the mayor?"

A single sentence awakened those around him.

"Hmph! How could the mayor possibly apply for a medal for someone like Xiao Zhi?"

"That guy just put on a show, trying to fool us like we're idiots."

"That's right! The Purple Gold Medal is the highest honor in Donghai. How could it be given to a scoundrel like him? Director Shen, I think this guy was sent by Xiao Zhi and the Su Group to cause trouble. Arrest him immediately."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Shen Tao's lips as he waved his hand, "Take it!"

In the blink of an eye, all six people who tried to grab Chu Yang were paralyzed by Chu Yang's flying needles, rendering them unable to move.

Shen Tao hadn't expected Chu Yang to be so skilled. There were only six people around him today, and he still couldn't discern Chu Yang's martial arts level.

He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

The chubby boy was very good at reading people's expressions. He immediately stuck out his neck and shouted, "Chief, didn't this kid say that the mayor would be here in fifteen minutes? Let's wait and see. If the mayor hasn't arrived by then, this kid is spreading rumors."

Upon hearing this, everyone around nodded in agreement.

"That's right! This kid's stubborn as a mule. Let's wait a few minutes, then we'll make him admit defeat!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Today we can all get firsthand reports, we must expose this kind of person!"

Time passed second by second.

Shen Tao wasn't idle either. He used his phone to mobilize the law enforcement bureau's special operations team to come to the hospital, just waiting to arrest Chu Yang in a little while.

Once they're at the law enforcement bureau, he has a hundred ways to make this arrogant guy kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Time's up!" someone shouted.

A mocking smile appeared on Shen Tao's lips as he casually waved to the special operations team.

"Arrest him! If he resists, kill him on the spot!"

The heavily armed special operations team swarmed in.

The people around cheered, waiting to see the "villain" bow down.

The chubby boy knew that Chu Yang was finished.

He raised an eyebrow at Chu Yang with a smug look, and said in a low voice, "You bastard! I'm the lackey of the Enforcement Bureau, what can you do to me? Once you're in the Enforcement Bureau, I'll make you pay!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.
