All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

With a loud shout, the noise in the bar immediately subsided.

"Stop the music and turn the lights up to full brightness!" A group of police officers filed in, with the young officer at the head shouting loudly.

The men and women dancing in the bar stopped, and some people's expressions changed drastically. They immediately turned around and ran towards the back door, but were quickly blocked by a group of police officers who came in from the back door.

At that moment, Ah Kang was on the stairs to the second floor. Upon seeing this, his expression changed drastically, and without thinking, he ran up to the second floor.

But soon several young men in plain clothes rushed out of a private room on the second floor, showing their identification.

"Police! Everyone stay where you are! Open the doors to every private room on the second floor, and everyone inside, come out!"

Ah Kang stopped in his tracks, staring intently at the plainclothes officers, then looked back at the police officers downstairs. His expression changed drastically, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He has a kilogram of drugs on him. If he gets caught, he will definitely be arrested and imprisoned.

The Vietnamese gang was just starting to gain momentum, and he was eager to make a name for himself alongside the three Tony brothers. How could he be willing to go to jail now?

His mind raced, and his gaze swept across the entire room, searching for a way to escape. Suddenly, as his eyes swept in one direction, they met.

Poof!

His eyes lit up immediately!

Before the lights were turned on, he suddenly tumbled down the stairs and crouched low as he quickly walked toward Yu Li.

"Hey, you there! Stop! I'm talking to you!" Soon, a police officer noticed Ah Kang's unusual behavior and immediately shouted to stop him.

But since it concerns Ah Kang's future prospects, how could he possibly stop?

He acted as if he hadn't heard, took three steps at a time, quickly pulled a black bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Yu Li's hand, who had just stood up, then brushed past him and strode towards the back door.

"Didn't you hear me? Stop right there!" Two policemen blocked his way.

On the other hand, Yu Li did not panic after receiving the black bag; instead, he felt relieved.

Everything went as he expected; Ah Kang indeed chose him as the scapegoat in the critical moment.

Those people in the underworld are all scoundrels. Even if they think highly of you, they'll abandon you when it matters. What loyalty? It's all bullshit.

Yu Li quickly turned around and unbuckled his belt.

"Brother Li, you..." As he turned around, Qiu Di caught a glimpse of the extra thing in his hand and saw him unbuckling his belt, and her expression changed again.

When the secret was discovered, Yu Li was not flustered at all. Instead, he took a step forward and pressed his whole body against Qiu Di.

"Hold me, cover for me!" he whispered in her ear as he put something into his crotch.

Qiu Di was stunned for only a moment before she immediately hugged Yu Li and buried her head in his chest.

To outsiders, it would just look like the two of them were having an intimate moment.

Snapped!

Suddenly, all the lights in the bar were turned on, illuminating the previously dim and hazy environment as if it were daytime.

When exposed to light, many people instinctively cover their eyes with their hands.

Taking advantage of this short time, Yu Li successfully hid the items.

But instead of leaving Qiu Di's embrace, he turned and hugged her back, softly saying, "Thank you!"

"The cops will search you!" Qiu Di said in a low voice.

Yu Li looked up at the pretty face so close to his, and a smile played on his lips: "What? Worried about me?"

"Yes." Qiu Di was not afraid at all, and looked at Yu Li without flinching. "I am not an ungrateful person."

"Hey, you two over there, have you finished kissing?!" A police officer noticed them and immediately shouted.

Yu Li then released Qiu Di, who then feigned embarrassment, hastily wiping her mouth as if she had really done something.

"What, are the police interfering with other people kissing?" Yu Li replied lazily.

The bar had mostly quieted down by now, and Yu Li's words immediately drew a burst of laughter. Only Niu Za stared intently at them, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"Shut up!" The policeman who shouted was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, pointing at Yu Li and yelling, "Do you believe I'll charge you with obstructing official business?"

Yu Li shrugged, but his face showed a disdainful expression.

He's a gangster now, and when gangsters face the cops, they have to be tough, otherwise they'll be looked down upon by their peers.

"Xiao Li, lead Team A to search from left to right." At this moment, a tall, horse-faced policeman came out and instructed the policeman who had just spoken.

"Yes, Officer Ma!"

Sir Ma?

Ma Jun?

Yu Li's mind raced, and his gaze fell on this person. Is this the protagonist? He looks like he's really good at fighting.

But Ma Jun didn't look at Yu Li; instead, he focused his gaze on A Kang, who was being escorted over by two policemen.

"Boss, he tried to run away, but we stopped him," a policeman reported.

"Isn't this Ah Kang, a high-ranking member of the Vietnamese gang?" Ma Jun asked with a half-smile. "What wrong have you done that you're in such a hurry to run away?"

"I need to pee, is that not allowed?" Ah Kang sneered.

"Sure, why not?" Ma Jun waved his hand with an undiminished smile. "Search him!"

At that moment, after a commotion on the second floor, two more policemen escorted a young man with brightly colored hair and tattoos down the stairs.

This man was Hua Niu, the bartender.

"Boss, he was just about to escape through the window."

"Why are you all running away when you see us police?" Ma Jun sneered. "What misdeed have you done this time?"

"I thought it was someone else? It's Officer Ma!" Hua Niu glared at Ma Jun, his eyes full of arrogance. "Do you know how much damage your commotion has caused us? I'm definitely going to file a complaint against you tomorrow!"

"Hey, old friend, why aren't you giving me any face?" Ma Jun chuckled. "I received a report that your bar is keeping contraband, but the procedures are all legal and compliant. Go ahead and file a complaint if you want."

"Our place is spotless!" Flower Cow gritted her teeth. "Whatever you find is none of our business. Whoever's property it is, you can go find them!"

"You're going to teach me how to do things?" Ma Jun stepped forward and patted his face. "Whether you have anything on you or not is up to me!"

Hua Niu looked angry, but didn't say anything more.

"Search him!" Ma Jun waved his hand, beckoned two more policemen, then looked around and loudly ordered, "Plainclothes team, search the second floor. Team B, search from right to left, don't miss a single corner or crevice!"

"Yes, sir!" the police officers responded in unison.

"You lot, stand up and show me your ID cards!"

"Hey, men on the left, women on the right! And you, I'm talking to you, help your friend up! What? Drunk? I don't care if he's drunk or not, help him up!"

"What is this? Damn it, don't tell me it's laundry detergent! Cuff him!"

The shouts of police could be heard everywhere.

No matter how imposing someone is in public, they'll be scolded like a grandson in front of the police.

That's why Yu Li always believed that joining gangs was a dead-end job. Even if you became a high-ranking member or a leader, a lowly trainee policeman could still stop you on the street and make you squat down with your hands behind your head.

Unless someone is a triad leader or a highly influential gang leader, the police will show them some restraint and courtesy.

Ma Jun wandered around the whole place, and when he got to the beef offal table, he deliberately made things difficult for them, causing the beef offal to turn red and then pale, but they didn't dare to retaliate.

"You've been making too much noise lately, so watch out," Ma Jun warned before slowly walking over to Yu Li's table and making eye contact with him for the first time.
