He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

The masked man shook his head slightly: "You don't understand. I've already given you a chance, but you didn't seize it. Now, you must bear the consequences of your actions." With that, he waved his hand, and the masked men behind him launched another fierce attack like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, the lead bodyguard's heart sank; he knew a battle was inevitable. He quickly drew his gun and fought alongside Zhang Beixing, desperately trying to fend off the attacks. However, the masked men were numerous and each highly skilled, and they quickly gained the upper hand.

Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard fought back fiercely, but their ammunition was limited and their strength was waning. Facing the approaching masked men, the lead bodyguard felt a wave of despair and helplessness. He looked at Zhang Beixing: "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you."

However, Zhang Beixing did not give up. He gripped his pistol tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must never give up!" With that, he charged at a masked man, engaging him in close combat. Seeing this, the lead bodyguard also rallied and joined the fierce battle.

The masked leader watched the fierce battle unfold before him, a flicker of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He had initially expected Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard to give up quickly, but their tenacity and courage were unexpected. He took a deep breath and made his decision—this farce had to end!
At the masked leader's command, both sides instantly ceased fighting, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air. The masked men retreated behind their leader, while Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard gripped their weapons tightly, watching their opponents warily.

The masked leader slowly walked up to Zhang Beixing. He was tall and burly, exuding a strong sense of pressure, but his eyes revealed a complex emotion. He took a deep breath, removed his mask, and revealed a resolute and profound face—the top spender in Zhang Beixing's live stream.

“I’ve always supported you and paid attention to you, but I feel you’ve changed. You’re no longer the brave and upright Zhang Beixing I knew. So I’ve decided to teach you a lesson so you can rediscover yourself,” the masked leader said to Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing stared at him in astonishment and asked incredulously, "You... are my fan?"

The masked leader nodded and said firmly, "That's right, I'm your fan and your friend. I know you may not understand what I'm doing, but I just want you to understand that no matter how much you achieve, you must never forget your original aspirations."

A warm feeling welled up in Zhang Beixing's heart; he had finally understood the masked leader's good intentions. The other man was not a cold-blooded opponent, but a deeply devoted friend. He grasped the masked leader's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Thank you for helping me see my own problems clearly. I will rediscover my original aspirations and mission, and I will never let you down."

The masked leader smiled and nodded slightly: "I firmly believe you can do it. Remember, no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you must uphold your beliefs and principles. We will always support you!"

Just then, the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached. The masked men's expressions changed drastically; they clearly hadn't expected the police to arrive so quickly. The masked leader glanced at Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard: "We have to leave. Zhang Beixing, remember what I said today." With that, he turned and led his men away like ghosts, disappearing into the darkness.

Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard exchanged a smile, the heavy burden that had been weighing on their hearts finally lifted. They knew that they had escaped danger today thanks to this mysterious friend. This also strengthened their inner conviction and determination—no matter what difficulties and challenges they faced in the future, they would stay true to their original aspirations and forge ahead bravely!
Police arrived quickly at the scene and immediately launched an investigation. Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard cooperated actively, providing the police with relevant clues and evidence. However, they did not reveal the true identity of the masked leader to the police—this was a secret agreement between the three of them.

After conducting a thorough investigation and collecting evidence at the scene, the police took Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard back to the police station for further investigation. Although they knew the identity of the masked leader, out of respect for him and their promise to him, they remained tight-lipped when questioned by the police.

At the police station, Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard were taken to separate interrogation rooms. When questioned by the police, they truthfully recounted the events and what they knew. However, when asked about the identity and purpose of the masked man's leader, they remained silent.

"Do you know who those masked men are?" the officer asked seriously.

Zhang Beixing shook his head slightly: "I don't know. They were wearing masks the whole time, so I couldn't see their faces at all."

"Did you hear what they said? Or do you have any other clues to provide us?" the officer continued to press.

Zhang Beixing pondered for a moment and replied, "They didn't say anything of value. But I can tell you, they're not real enemies. They just... wanted to give me a warning in this way."

The officer frowned: "Warning? What do you mean?"

Zhang Beixing took a deep breath and decided to tell the police officer the whole story: "Actually, I know their leader. He's my fan and my friend. He feels that I've changed and am no longer the Zhang Beixing he used to know. That's why he came up with this method to help me rediscover myself."

Upon hearing this, the police officer looked surprised: "Your fans? Friends? What's going on?"

Zhang Beixing then recounted his story with the masked leader to the police officer in detail. After listening, the officer remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I see. It seems this was not a simple attack."

Zhang Beixing nodded in agreement: "Yes. It was actually a misunderstanding. Now we've cleared up the misunderstanding and become friends again."

The officer looked at Zhang Beixing, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "It's rare that you were able to resolve the conflict and regain friendship. But your actions have violated the law, and we must deal with it according to the law."

Zhang Beixing nodded understandingly: "I understand. We are willing to accept the punishment of the law."

Just then, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and a police officer walked in: "Someone outside is looking for you."

Zhang Beixing and the lead bodyguard exchanged a glance, a strange tension rising within them. They wondered who could be looking for them at this hour—could it be the masked men's leader?
However, when they walked out of the interrogation room, they saw someone they never expected—Huo Qisang's widow!

"Why are you here?" Zhang Beixing asked in surprise.

Huo Qisang's widow looked at them, a complicated expression flashing in her eyes: "I heard you had an accident, so I came here specifically to see you."

Zhang Beixing felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you. We're fine, we just need to cooperate with the police investigation."

Huo Qisang's widow nodded and said, "I know. But I still wanted to come and see you in person. After all, you got involved in this mess because of Huo Qisang."

She took a deep breath and continued, "I know the difficulties you are facing right now, but please believe me, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side. When Huo Qisang was alive, he often mentioned you, saying that you were the people he trusted most."

A hint of emotion flashed in Zhang Beixing's eyes: "Thank you, Mrs. Huo. We will definitely do a good job of what Mr. Huo asked us to do and will not let him down."

The lead bodyguard firmly stated, "Yes, Mrs. Huo. Please rest assured, we will do everything in our power to protect Zhang Beixing and ensure he is not harmed in any way." Huo Qisang's widow smiled at them, "I trust you. Huo Qisang's judgment has never been wrong. I also know that he chose you as friends and partners because of your outstanding abilities and qualities."

At this moment, the police officer approached and said, "Zhang Beixing, you can leave now. But please remember that you must be available for questioning and investigation at any time during this period. Also, if you have any clues about the identity and purpose of those masked men, please inform us immediately."

Zhang Beixing and the lead bodyguard exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Understood. We will cooperate fully with the police investigation." After saying goodbye to Huo Qisang's widow, they left the police station.

As night fell, the city's neon lights began to flicker. Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard stood at the police station entrance, watching the crowds and vehicles come and go, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They understood that although the turmoil had temporarily subsided, many more challenges and difficulties awaited them in the future.

"What should we do next?" the lead bodyguard asked.

Zhang Beixing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination: "We can't sit idly by and wait to die. We must take the initiative and find out the true identities and purposes of those masked men. At the same time, we must continue to investigate Huo Qisang's case and seek justice for him."

The lead bodyguard nodded in agreement: "I understand. Let's start with Huo Qisang's case then. Perhaps we can find some useful clues in his belongings or documents."

Zhang Beixing agreed to his suggestion: "Okay. Let's go back and sort through Huo Qisang's belongings and documents to see if we can find any valuable clues." After saying that, they turned and walked towards the parking lot, intending to drive away.

However, just as they were about to get into the car, a familiar voice came from behind them: "Zhang Beixing, don't go yet!" They turned around and saw that it was the masked leader!

"How did you end up here?" Zhang Beixing asked, his face full of astonishment.

The masked leader looked at them, a complex expression in his eyes: "I heard you were taken away by the police, so I came to check on you. Are you alright?" Although he had used some extreme methods to "teach" Zhang Beixing a lesson, deep down, he still cared about Zhang Beixing. After all, Zhang Beixing had once been his hero and idol.

A warm feeling welled up in Zhang Beixing's heart: "Thank you. We're fine, we just need to cooperate with the police investigation. We can leave now." He understood that the masked man leader's previous actions were out of kindness and concern, so he didn't blame him, but instead felt a little guilty and touched.

If I hadn't become increasingly impetuous and opportunistic, perhaps this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

The masked leader watched them get into the car and drive away, then took a deep breath.

He knew that although the misunderstanding between him and Zhang Beixing had been resolved, their friendship could never be the same again. He silently wished Zhang Beixing and the lead bodyguard a safe journey and that they would successfully overcome all difficulties and challenges.

The masked leader watched Zhang Beixing and his lead bodyguard's car drive away, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He turned to leave, but suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw a man in a black suit walking towards him.

"Who are you?" the masked leader asked warily.

The man in black smiled slightly, revealing a charming dimple: "I am Zhang Beixing's friend and business partner. My name is Li Chen."

The masked leader frowned: "Li Chen? I don't think Zhang Beixing has ever mentioned you."

Li Chen smiled nonchalantly: "That's normal. My cooperation with Zhang Beixing has always been conducted in secret, and not many people know about our relationship."

The masked man leader felt a sudden, inexplicable tension: "What do you want with me?"

Li Chen stared into his eyes and said seriously, "I heard that you and Zhang Beixing had some misunderstandings, which caused an unnecessary commotion. I'd like to know what exactly happened?"

The masked leader remained silent for a moment, then slowly recounted the whole story to Li Chen. After listening, Li Chen nodded: "I see. It seems the root of this turmoil lies in Zhang Beixing's change."

The masked leader sighed: "That's right. I used to be a loyal fan of Zhang Beixing, always supporting and following him. But I found him becoming more and more unfamiliar, no longer the Zhang Beixing I remembered. So, I decided to use some extreme methods to teach him a lesson and help him rediscover himself."

Li Chen nodded understandingly: "I can understand how you feel. But using violence to solve problems is not a good solution. You should sit down with Zhang Beixing and calmly talk about your thoughts and feelings."

The masked leader shook his head with a wry smile: "I no longer have that chance. My friendship with Zhang Beixing has come to an end."

Looking at his dejected expression, Li Chen felt a surge of sympathy and pity: "Don't say that. Friendship can be repaired, as long as you are willing to let go of your obsessions and prejudices."

Just then, a black sedan suddenly stopped beside them. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Zhang Beixing and the lead bodyguard's faces.

"What are you doing here?" the masked leader asked in surprise.

Zhang Beixing smiled and looked at him: "We've been waiting for you."

The masked leader felt inexplicably moved: "You...were waiting for me?"

Zhang Beixing nodded: "Yes. We knew you might come here, so we came specifically to find you." He then got out of the car. "We did have some misunderstandings and disagreements before, but they've all been resolved now. I hope we can start over and be friends again." (End of Chapter)
