Wang Bao, with his powerful aura

The massive body moved step by step through the passage cleared by the underlings.

He walked to the center of the encirclement, his sharp gaze sweeping over the group.

Finally, his gaze lingered on Chen Guozhong's face, and he just stared at him.

He raised the bottle and took a sip of the wine.

He then slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of coldness: "What, trying to intimidate me?"

Chen Guozhong stared at Wang Bao without saying a word, his eyes filled with hatred, wishing he could shoot the fat man in front of him right now!

"Hey, Fatty, if you want to play, I'll play with you tomorrow!"

Ma Jun didn't want Chen Guozhong to make a big fuss, and since he would only officially take office tomorrow, he had to keep a low profile today, so he could only make his statement first.

Wang Bao turned to look at him and sneered, "Want to play? Fine, I'll play along with you."

As he spoke, he raised the beer bottle in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground. The beer bottle shattered into pieces with a "bang," scattering them all over the ground.

Following Wang Bao's actions, the gangsters around him finally regained their confidence and followed their leader's lead.

Everyone at the scene who had beer bottles smashed them on the ground to show their support!

Wang Bao looked at the two men with a mocking expression and said loudly, "Tell them, after midnight, who's in charge here!"

"The boss is in charge!" "The leader is in charge!" The voices of the gangsters rose and fell.

Wang Bao stretched out his hands with satisfaction and pressed them down into the air, signaling his underlings to stop.

Then, with a sneer, he said, "Aren't you leaving yet, officers?"

The scene fell silent once again, and everyone stared at Ma Jun and Chen Guozhong, wanting to see how they would react.

"Wow, it's so lively!"

At that moment, a loud voice broke the silence!

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man dressed in all black standing outside the crowd, smiling at them. Clearly, it was him who had spoken.

There were two people standing nearby who were clearly stunned.

Guan Zu doesn't care what others think of him. If he's going to show off, how can he do it if no one's watching?

If you're so capable, why not show off in public instead of hiding your talents in the dark?

Guan Zu smiled and walked into the circle, and his underlings tactfully made way for him.

Soon, Guan Zu walked up to Wang Bao, looking at him with a smile and saying, "After 12 o'clock, you think you're in charge? So arrogant, did you even ask if we agreed?"

"Who are you?" A murderous glint flashed in Wang Bao's eyes!

Guan Zu wasn't afraid of him at all. He smiled and took out the ID he had just received that day from his pocket, waved it in front of Wang Bao, and then slowly tucked it into his chest.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Kwan Cho, an inspector from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) of the Hong Kong Island Police Force!" In this kind of situation where you're trying to show off and get humiliated, you should definitely throw the word "probationary" far away.

Upon hearing the keywords "Guan Zu" and "O Ji," Wang Bao immediately recalled the recent rumors circulating in the underworld about "Eight-Faced Buddha."

"Are you Guan Zu?" Wang Bao needed to confirm.

"Oh? Boss Wang, you've heard of me?" Guan Zu looked at Wang Bao with surprise.

"I've long admired your name, Officer Kwan. Your record is truly formidable! I just wonder, Officer Kwan, what are you planning to do today?" Wang Bao squinted at Kwan Tsu as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Guan Zu laughed happily, "So, I'm quite famous now?" He stepped forward, "Boss Wang, you're so powerful, you're in charge here after midnight! What do you say, let's have a fight, wouldn't that improve my record? That would be more convincing, after all, you know how good that Thai guy is, most people don't know that, unlike you, your reputation precedes you! How about it?"

The people around were stunned by Guan Zu's words, especially Wang Bao's underlings, who immediately bristled: "You stinking cop, say that again!" "You dead cop, you dare to fight one-on-one!" "If you want to fight one-on-one, come find me. You're not worthy to fight my boss!" "You'll probably get beaten to death by my boss, you dead cop!" The crowd shouted all at once.

Wang Bao stared intently at Guan Zu, his mind racing. The situation was tense, and he wasn't afraid of offending Chen Guozhong! After all, this guy had been his adversary for years, and they knew each other inside and out, so he wasn't afraid of any tricks from the other.

However, the people from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) are still not to be trifled with, mainly because of this Guan Zu. I've heard he has a powerful background, and he also has connections with "Eight-Faced Buddha" and "Duan Kun." I still need to keep a low profile.

Wang Bao, determined to keep a low profile,

He smiled and said, "Officer Guan, you're joking. I have so many brothers here; it wouldn't be fair to you to fight them! Your record is quite convincing! If you have nothing else to do, take your colleagues and leave!"

Wang Bao's words carried a threat, yet he also offered a way out, clearly admitting defeat in his heart but refusing to admit it verbally.

Guan Zu realized that the fight was over, since the other party had backed down and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Without much hesitation, he said, "Shall we meet again? Bye, Boss Wang!"

After saying that, he looked at Ma Jun and Chen Guozhong and said, "My two colleagues, shall we go?"

Ma Jun thought that today's matter was over and he could officially take office tomorrow. He would then cause trouble for Wang Bao.

He immediately nodded: "Okay!"

Upon hearing Ma Jun's words, Guan Zu turned and greeted his two colleagues in the group, and the group then walked away from the crowd.

Wang Bao watched Guan Zu's departing figure, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

After a moment, he realized what was happening and, seeing his underlings staring at him, snapped, "What are you looking at? Get out of here! Go do what you're supposed to do. Are you bored?"

Then everyone dispersed.

To put it another way,

Guan Zu got into Ma Jun's car and said to the two men outside the window, "Alright, you two go back. I'm going to have a chat with my two colleagues!"

After saying that, he gestured for Ma Jun to drive, and the car drove away amidst the admiring gazes of He Jiahui and Lin Weiwen.

The three of them found a roadside food stall and sat down.

Ma Jun handed the menu to the waiter and said to Guan Zu, "Guan sir, thank you for today. After all, I officially take office tomorrow, so today is really inconvenient!"

Guan Zu, of course, knew what was going on. He picked up the teapot on the table and rinsed the tableware in front of him with hot water. "Mr. Ma, you're too kind. I just happened to be nearby and we bumped into each other. We're all colleagues, so don't be so formal. Is this meal on you?"

Ma Jun laughed upon hearing this: "No problem!"

As the food and drinks were served one after another, after a few bites of food and a couple of sips of beer, the friendship between the men was established.

The way they addressed each other had changed. Guan Zu put down his chopsticks: "Brother Zhong, I've heard a little about your situation. How about I help you?"

Chen Guozhong paused for a moment, then said, "Auntie, thank you, but I still want to..."

"Brother Zhong, let's hear what he has to say!" Ma Jun quickly persuaded Chen Guozhong when he saw that Chen Guozhong was about to refuse.

Guan Zu didn't seem to care and continued, "Brother Zhong, I know you have a grudge against Wang Bao. He killed your undercover witness to get away with it, so you want to send him to jail, right?"

Recalling painful memories, Chen Guozhong took a sip of beer and said, "I dream of bringing him to justice!"

Guan Zu said sternly, "We are police officers. We must arrest anyone who breaks the law. However, Wang Bao is no ordinary person. Your approach is wrong."

Chen Guozhong couldn't stand hearing this kind of talk, and he glared at Guan Zu with an unfriendly expression: "What brilliant idea does Inspector Guan have?"

Guan Zu knew this matter was extremely important to Chen Guozhong, and he didn't pay attention to Chen Guozhong's attitude: "Brother Zhong, calm down, and listen to me slowly, okay?"

Ma Jun quickly added, "Yes, Brother Zhong, Azu meant well. Listen to what he has to say first."

Guan Zu picked up his wine glass, gesturing for the two of them to drink together.

After finishing a glass, the awkwardness from before disappeared.

Guan Zu put down his wine glass: "Brother Zhong, what I mean is that you're going in the wrong direction. Back then, your undercover witness was murdered. You're focusing all your attention on Wang Bao, which is wrong."

Chen Guozhong said with a wry smile, "Yes, everyone knows it's Wang Baoqian's, but we just can't find any evidence on him!"

"Of course you can't find it. Yes, everyone knows this is related to Wang Bao, but did Wang Bao actually do it? He was waiting for the trial to start! He only came out after the person died!"

"Besides, how could such a big boss do it himself? Since he wasn't the one who did it, and you're all focusing all your attention on him, how are you going to find any evidence?" Guan Zu patiently explained to Chen Guozhong!

Ma Jun listened attentively and nodded repeatedly. He had been trying to persuade Chen Guozhong, but due to his status, Chen Guozhong and his group had excluded him from the matter. They didn't want him, their future direct superior, to get involved. Guan Zu was different; he was an outsider and posed far less of a threat.

Sure enough, Chen Guozhong listened and said, "Then what do you suggest we do? We'll stop investigating Wang Bao?"

"It's not that we're not going to investigate, we'll just try a different method!" Guan Zu's mouth was a little dry, so he took a sip of beer and continued, "Look at you guys, you've been investigating Wang Bao for so many years, Wang Bao knows you all too well. Every single one of you in your group, to put it bluntly, Wang Bao probably knows exactly what color underwear you wear every day!"

Chen Guozhong took a sip of beer with a wry smile. He knew that Guan Zu was telling the truth. With them targeting Wang Bao so much, how could Wang Bao not have taken precautions?

Guan Zu pressed on, saying, "Brother Zhong, how about this: I'll handle this case."

I'm from the O-Team's B Group, specializing in anti-triad work. I just took office and had another conflict with him. New broom sweeps clean, so it's not too much for me to give him a piece of my mind, is it?

So, it's perfectly normal for me to investigate him!

Give me some time. It just so happens that Brother Jun is taking office tomorrow. In the next few months, you can help Brother Jun get familiar with the affairs of your police district.

So what? It's been a few years already, you don't care about a little more time, do you?

Give me a chance, I'll help you, I promise, I'll give you an answer within two months!

Ma Jun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he added, "That's a great idea! Wang Bao is watching us closely. I've just taken office, so it's normal for me to remain inactive; it won't arouse his suspicion. Let Ah Zu investigate, and the O-District will investigate him—it'll be perfectly legitimate!"

Chen Guozhong pondered for a moment, but did not agree, nor did he explicitly refuse. He simply said that he would go back and discuss it with his brothers.

Guan Zu didn't insist. After all, they had been investigating for many years, and based on what he said, they couldn't possibly give up so quickly.

So, Guan Zu decided to bring out some real information: "Brother Zhong, go back and think this over carefully. I have a suggestion: you'd better contact your undercover agent as soon as possible. After what you did today, who knows what Wang Bao might do!"

Chen Guozhong was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Guan Zu with surprise: "What do you know?"

Of course, Guan Zu couldn't say, "That's how it's portrayed in the movie; your undercover agent is going to die."

He could only make up a reason: "Analyze it, bro. Last time, you were the one who went undercover and got the evidence. Even though it failed in the end, why don't you guys try again? Isn't it obvious?"

Chen Guozhong didn't reply, and Guan Zu was helpless. He had given the necessary reminders, but he didn't know who the undercover agent was or where he was. He only knew that according to the timeline, after Chen Guozhong caused trouble, his undercover agent died within two days!

We can only leave it to fate!

Seeing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Ma Jun raised his glass to Guan Zu and said, "Come on, Zu, let me toast you. Thank you for today, and welcome to the police force!"

Guan Zu also raised his glass and clinked it with his.

The three then changed the subject, chatted about some stories within the police force, and then parted ways to go home.

As for what he'll do at home, well, he can't tell outsiders about what's going on with Guan Zu.
