A person sacrifices himself to become a saint in a chaotic world of martial arts.

These forceful, resolute, and even desperate words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, completely stunning the hooligans.

Their minds were buzzing, and the threats, inducements, and subtle persuasion they had prepared on the way here were instantly thrown to the winds.

Only one thought remained:

Why is Su Bai acting so unexpectedly? Why is he reacting so strongly?

If he really doesn't care and makes a scene at the Garrison Command...

Regardless of the cause of the matter, as long as Su Bai makes a scene on the grounds that "the police officers are being repeatedly harassed by gangs,"

In order to save face for the government, the Zhenfu Division would inevitably have to intervene in the Fierce Tiger Gang's affairs.

The matter may not end up being a big deal, but those few scoundrels who actually carried it out will definitely not have a good outcome. In order to quell the situation, the gang will most likely make an example of them.

"Um... Constable Su... It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

The leader, a dark-faced man, forced a strained, even obsequious smile, his imposing aura visibly diminished. His back hunched slightly, and his voice softened.

"Let's talk this out, please don't get angry. We...we came here today for no other reason than to ask if you...have you seen Lao Liu from our gang who came to you yesterday? Or heard anything about him?"

"What do you mean, 'sixth brother' or 'youngest brother'?!"

Su Bai interrupted again without any politeness, his anger intensifying as if he had been greatly insulted.

"Is he my father or my son? Huh? Why should I see him? What obligation do I have to know where he is?!"

If your people are missing, you should report it to the Zhenfu Division and follow the proper procedures!

They came to my private residence, knocked on the door to ask questions, and knocked so loudly it was deafening!

"What? Do you think your Fierce Tiger Gang can just knock on and smash my door like that?!"

He grew increasingly agitated, his finger almost touching the dark-faced man's nose: "Now, get out of here! Get out of this alley! Don't dirty my doorstep!"

"You..." The dark-faced man's face turned pale and then red as he was scolded, his eyes twitching. He was clearly holding back his anger, but he didn't dare to actually lash out.

"Get out of here!" Su Bai made a move to grab the person.

"Su Bai! Don't push your luck!"

Behind the dark-faced man, a younger, more hot-tempered thug, seemingly provoked by the repeated scolding, mustered his courage, stiffened his neck, and shouted loudly in a hoarse voice,

"Calling you 'Officer' is being polite! You have to explain yourself today! Sixth Brother and his gang came looking for you yesterday, and then this happened. You're definitely involved! You'd better tell the truth! Otherwise..."

"OK!"

Su Bai didn't get angry; instead, he smiled, but the smile was icy and his eyes were frighteningly sharp.

"You Tiger Gang members have some nerve! How dare you come to the constable's house in broad daylight and openly accuse him of being involved in a murder case?! You've really gone too far!"

He suddenly reached out, as if to grab the collar of the taunting hooligans, his movement swift and ruthless, carrying the strength of a martial artist at the Skin Refining Realm.

"Go! None of you are leaving today! Come with me back to the Zhenfu Division! And bring your gang leader here too!"

Let's confront each other face to face!

I want to see what kind of evidence your Tiger Gang can come up with to slander a constable!

If they can't produce it, humph, I'll ask the constables and officers what the punishment is for framing and falsely accusing a constable!

When the young ruffian saw that Su Bai was really going to make a move, he was so scared that he cried out "Oh my god!" and his face turned pale. He tried to dodge backward, almost bumping into his accomplice behind him.

What real evidence do they have?

If there were real evidence, they would have reported it to the authorities or arrested the person directly. Why would they just come knocking on the door to test the waters?

"No, no, no! Constable Su, please calm down, please calm down!"

Seeing this, the dark-faced man quickly stepped forward, blocking the way with his hands, his face filled with anxiety and a desire to appease the situation, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! Our Fierce Tiger Gang has absolutely no intention of slandering you! It's just... it's just that Lao Liu and the others have gone missing, and the brothers were worried and asked around, which is why we took the liberty of asking... There's absolutely no other meaning!"

Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us...

"snort!"

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Su Bai stopped his actions, but the anger on his face remained. His chest heaved as he coldly surveyed the few now-deflated ruffians before him.

"Either get the hell out of here right now and never let me see you hanging around here again! Or, let's go to the Garrison Command right now and settle this properly! The choice is yours!"

The thugs looked at each other, their eyes filled with resentment, frustration, and helplessness.

They glared at Su Bai fiercely, their eyes filled with resentment.

But under Su Bai's unyielding and piercing gaze, he ultimately didn't dare to utter any more harsh words.

The dark-faced man gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence:

"Good, good! Constable Su is truly impressive! We brothers can't afford to offend you! We've been disrespectful today!"

He stared coldly at Su Bai, lowering his voice, which carried a clear threat.

"But... Constable Su, these are turbulent times. Be careful when walking at night!"

"Hmph, nonsense!"

Su Bai snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, as if the other party's words were just the buzzing of flies.

He was too lazy to waste any more words with them. He abruptly turned around, slammed the door shut with a loud bang, and bolted it shut.

In the alley, several thugs from the Fierce Tiger Gang stood still, their faces grim as they stared at the tightly closed door.

"What do we do? The young master summoned us for questioning, but we didn't get a single thing out of him, and we almost got dragged to the Zhenfu Division by that guy surnamed Su..."

After leaving the quiet alley where Su Bai's house was located and turning onto the main street, the group of hooligans finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief. They gathered in the shadows of a corner, and the leader, a dark-faced man, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered in a gloomy voice.

"What can we do?"

A weasel-faced thug next to him spat, rubbing his calves, which were still a little weak from being intimidated by Su Bai's imposing manner, and said with lingering fear,

"This kid is completely different from before! That look in his eyes, that posture... I feel like he really dares to make a move! What are the few of us? If this really escalates to the Zhenfu Division, the young master might not protect us. Let's just throw this hot potato back to the young master and let him decide for himself."

"That's right, I think that Su Bai is really wicked, maybe Lao Liu and the others..." Another ruffian lowered his voice, his eyes darting around, and didn't dare to finish his sentence.

The group shuddered involuntarily as they recalled the gruesome deaths of Lao Liu and his companions, and the eerily clean scene.

After much discussion, they still couldn't come up with any other solution.

The group could only hang their heads in dejection and drag their feet toward a residence where Luo Haoxuan, the young leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, usually resided.
