Tu Yuan silently observed the group.

He saw the dissatisfaction and anger in Lu Guoqing's eyes.

It's obvious that Lu Guoqing wants to pursue Gong Yuanyuan.

Therefore, Gong Yuanyuan did not choose to bet on Korean games like him, which made Lu Guoqing feel that his self-esteem was hurt.

Sometimes people are just strange like that; perhaps from Gong Yuanyuan's perspective, she didn't have this thought.

She simply wanted to bet on the scar.

Some people, however, care too much and insist on giving deeper meanings to other people's actions.

Tu Yuan shook his head inwardly.

He could tell that Gong Yuanyuan was a woman with her own ideas.

Lu Guoqing is also very concerned about his image and likes to show off at the drop of a hat.

This tactic might fool or attract some women who lack life experience and broad knowledge.

However, for someone like Gong Yuanyuan who received a good education from a young age and came from a wealthy family, this would only annoy her.

At this point, Tu Yuan was already considering leaving.

After all, he knew the outcome of the match.

Now, for no apparent reason, the atmosphere has become strange because of who to bet on.

When Scarface wins the match, I wonder how ugly Lu Guoqing, Li Mei, and Zhai Zhuo will look.

That's just how people are.

If everyone suffers a loss together or makes a profit together, then there's still something to laugh about.

The psychological gap between being at a disadvantage and others making a fortune is overwhelming.

It can cause a person's emotions to become distorted and out of control.

At that time, a single glance or a single word could trigger a conflict.

People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality.

The atmosphere in this private box is now somewhat somber.

The group, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, fell silent.

Only Zhao Nana and Gong Yuanyuan were talking in hushed tones.

There was still half an hour before the match started.

After calming down for a while, Lu Guoqing put on a smile and started talking to Zhai Zhuo and Li Mei again.

Tu Yuan was left alone and neglected on the side.

However, Tu Yuan was happy to have some peace and quiet, and his expression remained calm and composed.

There was absolutely no awkwardness of being left out.

While chatting with Zhao Nana, Gong Yuanyuan was also subtly observing Tu Yuan.

Upon discovering that Tu Yuan was being ignored, her opinion of Lu Guoqing plummeted even further.

"Lu Guoqing works in the Chengyang District Party Committee and Government Office, yet he lacks even this much magnanimity and tolerance!"

"Even with his father's support, his potential for development is limited."

"Tu Yuan is quite surprising. Despite being ignored like this, he still seems very calm, as if his emotions haven't been affected at all!"

"If Tu Yuan and Lu Guoqing's family backgrounds were switched, they would actually have a good chance of making a name for themselves in the future."

"Or perhaps Tu Yuan would have my family's support..."

"Why did my mind start thinking about this again!"

Realizing she had misunderstood, Gong Yuanyuan blushed slightly and quickly suppressed her thoughts.

He stopped looking in Tu Yuan's direction.

At this moment, Tu Yuan was already chatting with Ruan Xueqing on his phone.

Tu Yuan then learned that Ruan Xueqing had been listed as a Black Gold VIP customer by the Shengyun City branch of Chaoyang Boxing Gym.

Chaoyang Boxing Gym also sent Ruan Xueqing an invitation, saying that she could watch the match in a VIP box at the Black Gold level.

However, Ruan Xueqing was unaware that Tu Yuan would be coming and did not come to watch the match.

Zheng Peiling had already taken him to visit a friend's house, so he wouldn't have had the chance to come even if he wanted to.

I chatted with Ruan Xueqing for a while; there were still fifteen minutes until the start of the competition.

At this time, the venue was already packed with people and bustling with activity.

Various whistles and shouts rose and fell.

Just then, Tu Yuan's phone rang.

The caller ID showed the name as Director Zhang.

"Director Zhang, why are you calling me at this hour?"

Tu Yuan frowned slightly, his expression turning serious.

It's almost nine o'clock now.

If there was nothing wrong, Zhang Tao wouldn't have called him directly.

Tu Yuan quickly got up and told Lu Guoqing and the others that he was going to take a phone call.

They headed towards the bathroom in the private room.

Once inside the restroom, the noise from outside was shut out.

Tu Yuan then answered the phone.

"Tu Yuan! Deputy Director Zheng Hai and Deputy Captain Ma Xingbao of the security team were attacked by thugs, and both have been confirmed dead."

"I'm on my way to the scene. You need to get there immediately too. The location is Zhenshi Lane, Wenwu Street!"

Zhang Tao's deep, cold voice came through the phone, without any pleasantries, getting straight to the point.

Hearing Zhang Tao's words, Tu Yuan was completely stunned.

Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao were attacked?! And they're both dead?!

Although Zheng Hai is old, his strength is relatively low among first-tier martial artists.

But he was, after all, a martial artist.

As for Ma Xingbao, he was also at the peak of the second stage of martial arts. He failed to break through to the level of martial arts master a few years ago, and has not tried to break through to the level of martial arts master since.

What level of strength did the attackers possess?! If they had that kind of strength, why would they attack Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao?!

It should be noted that in addition to being a martial artist, Zheng Hai also holds the official position of deputy director of the Zhenghe Public Security Bureau.

Ma Xingbao is the same; he holds the official position of deputy captain of the security team.

If someone has the ability to kill two people, they must have status and position in society. Why would they make things difficult for themselves?

"Yes, Chief Zhang! I'll be right there!"

As soon as Tu Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Tao immediately hung up the phone.

At this moment, Tu Yuan looked at the phone that had already been hung up and took a deep breath.

This sudden news left him deeply unsettled.

The cause of Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao's deaths will not be discussed for the time being.

After the deaths of the two officers at Zhenghe Police Station, who will fill the power vacuum that has arisen?

At that time, the institute will probably be in for a bit of trouble.

The institute was already divided into two factions: Sun Guangrong and Shen Xin formed a group, and Instructor Si Xu Zhanqing was also being subtly drawn to Shen Xin's side.

Zhang Tao and Zheng Haisuan belong to the same faction.

And Zheng Hai, the deputy director who sided with Zhang Tao, is gone.

Even if Zhang Tao is a second-tier martial artist, he would probably be under immense pressure and unable to cope alone under such circumstances.

As Zhang Tao's assistant police officer, it was difficult for him to avoid being implicated.

"It's truly a case of one problem after another!"

Tu Yuan's expression was complicated.

Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao had spoken to him just the past two days, and then he suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, it came so suddenly that no one was prepared at all.

The deaths of the two men also served as a wake-up call for Tu Yuan.

This is a world where individual power exists!

Although the federal government, a strong government, maintains social stability.

However, the overall stability does not mean that there have been no violent or bloody incidents.

There are even violent and bloody incidents every day.

In Tu Yuan's view, the federal government attaches great importance to social security and stability.

However, some ordinary people still buy the copyright to the body-strengthening method and practice martial arts.

These people mingle in society, and naturally possess superior fighting skills compared to others.

When faced with a problem, I want to solve it in a simple and crude way.

If you're not convinced, just beat them into submission.

Every day, the police station receives at least dozens of reports of violent conflicts stemming from verbal disputes.

In most of these cases, one side has someone who relies on their martial arts skills and strength, preferring to use their hands rather than their words.

Often, a few words of disagreement can lead to a fight.

Every three-year federal council meeting, someone proposes abolishing the copyright of the Body Tempering Law or raising the bar for ordinary people to practice martial arts.

However, this has been ignored by the federal government's top brass every time, and they have even been reducing the copyright fees for the Bodybuilding Act year by year.
