Zhou Chao glanced at Jiang Li, and Jiang Li nodded gently.

Originally, Zhou Chao, who was still smiling, suddenly turned cold and walked towards several young men.

“Kid, don’t think you’re all that just because you look handsome and act tough. You didn’t even bother to find out who 1 am when you broke my phone, causing me to be unable to live stream. Today, without 50,000, you guys won’t get away with it,” the lead young man said, looking at Zhou Chao and his group with a tough attitude.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao sneered, looked at these spirited young men, and with a swift motion, slapped the man who had harassed Jiang Li firmly on the face, causing him to stagger several steps to the right and finally sit down on the ground.

Five distinct fingerprints appeared on the man’s face.

“Didn’t your mother teach you to take the right path, kid?” Zhou Chao squatted in front of the man and said softly.

“Fucking hell”

“Smack!” The spirited young man’s right cheek also bore five fingerprints, perfectly matching the left side.

“What are you guys standing there for? Aren’t you going to help?” The spirited young man realized that he couldn’t handle it alone, so he turned to his brothers for help.

The few men who were standing by wanted to step forward, but when they saw the icy look in Zhou Chao’s eyes as he glanced at them, they all froze in place, afraid to move.

“Why are you all crowding here? Disperse, disperse!” At this moment, a mature and experienced voice rang out from the crowd.

Two patrol officers, one old and one young, pushed their way through the crowd.

“What’s going on?” The old patrol officer frowned and asked, looking at the crowd.

Before Zhou Chao could speak, the spirited young man lying on the ground shouted, “Patrol officer, they assaulted me. Look at my face; this guy slapped me twice. You have to help me.”

The spirited young man crawled over to the patrol officer, looking at Zhou Chao with a smug smile, which quickly faded.

“Kneel down!” Without waiting for the old patrol officer to speak, the young patrol officer behind him pulled out a baton and shouted loudly at Zhou Chao.

Seeing the young patrol officer’s actions, the old patrol officer was stunned, then he shouted loudly, “Xiao Li, what are you doing? Put away the baton. We haven’t even clarified the situation yet. Are you just going to believe this person’s one-sided story?”

“That’s right, this young man hasn’t even figured out the situation, he’s probably a rookie.”

“Definitely a rookie. Look at his equipment and compare it to that mature and experienced one. This is clearly a master-apprentice relationship.”

At this point, the comments from the onlookers made Officer Xiao Li’s face change several times, but he obediently put away the baton and stood behind the old patrol officer.

“Hello, can you explain what happened here?” The old patrol officer looked at Zhou Chao and asked.

Zhou Chao took three steps and two steps to approach the old patrol officer. After glancing at the spirited young man still pretending to be in a weak position on the ground, he spoke softly, “This kid was harassing my wife. Even after my people tried to stop him, he continued to pester her, and it escalated into a fight. Finally, he called a group of people over, those ones.”

The old patrol officer beckoned to the few spirited young men not far away, and they looked at each other, then lowered their heads and walked over here.

“Is that how it happened?”

“We… we didn’t know, we came later, just to help him out. We don’t know what happened,” one of the older guys quickly absolved themselves of any involvement.

“Yeah, we just came to see what was going on. We didn’t do anything!”

“That’s right, Patrol Officer, if you don’t believe us, ask the people around. We were just standing here, not doing anything.”

For a moment, the scene became noisy again.

Listening to the spirited young men trying to explain themselves, the old patrol officer raised his hand to signal them to stop talking.

“Alright, you guys stand aside for now. If there’s anything, we’ll come and ask you later.”

The few men heard this and quickly moved aside, not even glancing at their “good buddy” sitting on the ground.

The old patrol officer then proceeded to investigate the truth of the matter with some of the onlookers, and the answers he received were indeed as the handsome young man had described.

“Could you please come with us to the patrol station? If you don’t want to press charges against him, you don’t have to go,” the old patrol officer said to Zhou Chao.

“Sure, why not go? This guy is probably a repeat offender. Many women may have been reluctant to speak up due to embarrassment before, and this guy even livestrearns. I bet if you want to find some evidence, you can just check his livestream records,” Zhou Chao said, casting his gaze towards the spirited young man sitting on the ground.

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, the spirited young man’s expression changed drastically, and he was about to get up when a young patrol officer’s hand firmly held his shoulder.

“Stay put and behave,” said the young patrol officer, Xiao Li.

Then, a group of people headed towards the patrol station.

“Guo Yan.”

“Brother, what’s up?”

“Send a message to Wang Qiang, ask him to bring his lawyer friend to the patrol station. After all, some things are better handled by a professional lawyer.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Yan instantly understood and looked at the spirited young man with a sympathetic expression. Who would harass my sister-in-law? This guy might not see the outside world for a few years.

Attorney Qin arrived quickly, and just as Zhou Chao and his group arrived at the patrol station, Attorney Qin rushed in.

“Mr. Zhou, I apologize for keeping you waiting.”

Attorney Qin’s respectful attitude surprised the old patrol officer a bit. He hadn’t expected this handsome young man to have such influence. However, it didn’t matter to him; he would follow the procedure, and as for the fate of the spirited young man… well, he had brought it upon himself. When you do wrong, you will face consequences.

“Inspector Tang, thank you for your help. Once the matter is confirmed, we’ll take our leave,” Zhou Chao said politely as he shook hands with the old patrol officer.

“Sure, take care!”

Then, Zhou Chao and his group left the patrol station. As for Attorney Qin, he was currently busy gathering evidence, and when the time came, the spirited young man would have a deeper understanding of his actions.

“Lin Wu!” As they walked a short distance away from the patrol station, Zhou Chao called out.

“Boss.” Lin Wu quickly took a few steps to reach Zhou Chao’s side, while Jiang Li and Guo Yan walked hand in hand, chatting happily.

“You go and find out which platform that spirited young man belongs to, have Ling Chen contact them. We don’t need that account to exist anymore. Also, make sure the other party copies some data for us, we’ll arrange to have it delivered to Attorney Qin.”

“Boss, what if the other party doesn’t cooperate?” After all, meddling in another company’s affairs like this could certainly lead to some resentment.

“If they don’t cooperate, then make them cooperate. If it’s more convenient, consider acquiring them directly. After all, we don’t have a live streaming platform yet.”

Lin Wu chuckled at the suggestion, nodded, and slowed down his pace.

“Bro, should we take the time to explore Wuyi Square now?”

Zhou Chao didn’t respond but instead looked at Jiang Li, wondering if she still had the energy for shopping.

Guo Yan also looked at her with anticipation.

“Let’s go, it’s just a shame about those cups of bubble tea.”

Upon hearing Jiang Li’s words, Zhou Chao suddenly remembered that the bubble tea they had bought earlier was probably long gone from the incident site.

“Let’s go, we can buy some more, and while we’re at it, we can see what this bustling Wuyi Square is like.”

At some point, Lin Wu had caught up with Zhou Chao’s footsteps, and they exchanged glances. Zhou Chao knew that Lin Wu had already taken care of the matter.

After wandering around Wuyi Square for about an hour, they returned to the hotel. It was crowded, and prices were exorbitant.

During their outing, Guo Yan had bought an ice cream for 70 yuan (about $10), and while they were not short of money, they didn’t want to be taken advantage of. Besides, Zhou Chao had a humble background, and he couldn’t stand such overpriced places.

This sudden expense dampened their mood for shopping, and they decided to relax at the hotel for a while before exploring Star City’s nightlife in the evening..
