Director Qi, intending to follow Lin Handong's words, said with an air of authority and indignation:

"Who is the gun pointed at?"

"enemy!"

"Is Comrade Xiao Chen an enemy?"

"It was agreed beforehand that no guns could be used, and the shooting was to stop short of a draw. Lin Jun violated discipline in front of everyone by attempting to shoot Comrade Chen. If this matter isn't dealt with seriously, how can we expect the Special Operations Team to strictly adhere to discipline?"

Lin Handong hurriedly explained:

"But Lin Jun is from the Special Operations Department, not the same system as our Special Operations Group. We borrowed him. If we don't go through the Special Operations Department and directly prosecute him under military law, we'll have no way to explain it to anyone."

Director Qi countered with a question:

"Tell me who you need to explain to, and I'll go and explain."

Although Director Qi is a director, he is indeed a powerful and influential figure in the public security system. Even the higher-ups of the Special Operations Department have to treat him with respect. Who would dare to ask him for an explanation?

What puzzled Lin Handong was that this matter could have been a big deal or a small deal. Under normal circumstances, a reprimand or corporal punishment of Lin Jun would have been enough to resolve the issue.

This time, Director Qi was willing to break ties with the Lin family to save face for Song Qingtong and give Chen Li justice.

His skills were far inferior to Director Qi's, and he naturally lacked Director Qi's seasoned insight, which allowed him to immediately discern that Chen Li's displayed technique was extraordinary.

Qi Ju had a deep connection with Chen Li's master. He felt guilty towards his old friend back then, and it always pained him to think about it. He was able to make up for this guilt by giving it to his apprentice.

"Someone come here!"

Before Lin Handong could offer any excuses, Director Qi sternly issued an order:

"Arrest Lin Jun, lock him up in the heavy offender cell, and await trial by a military court!"

"yes!"

Special operations team leader Song Qingtong received the order and waved his hand, and two subordinates stepped forward and handcuffed Lin Jun.

Lin Jun's legs went weak with fear. As he was dragged along, he cried out in terror:

"Second Uncle, save me! Quickly tell Grandpa to save me!"

Lin Handong gave Chen Li a meaningful look, thinking that he would feel humbled and afraid of getting into big trouble, so he would take the initiative to plead for Lin Jun. But Chen Li was indifferent and unresponsive.

Fine, you've offended the Lin family, you'll regret it.

Having weathered many storms, Lin Handong maintained excellent emotional control, showing no anger or accusations. Instead, he politely addressed Director Qi:

"Lin Jun did act somewhat inappropriately. Now that he has chosen Comrade Chen as an undercover agent to infiltrate the criminal organization, Qing Tong will be in charge of coordinating with him."

"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Director Qi nodded and said:

"Handong, tell your father that Lin Jun has had it too easy and has never experienced setbacks. If he is not suppressed, he will cause a great disaster in the future."

The reason we didn't call him Deputy Director but addressed him by his name was because we still considered Old Man Lin an old buddy and were going to show some leniency towards Lin Jun.

If it were anyone else, they would have shot the lawless Lin Jun dead long ago.

"I will definitely convey Elder Qi's words."

Lin Handong bowed and left.

Director Qi patted Chen Li on the shoulder and nodded in satisfaction:

"You're a promising talent. Keep up the good work. Next, Qingtong will explain some mission details to you. Just let me know if you need any assistance."

After Chen Lineng sensed that Director Qi was looking at him with new respect, his attitude towards him became exceptionally kind and gentle:

"Thank you, Director Qi."

Director Qi grunted, put his hands behind his back, and left, saying to the special operations team members who were still stunned and hadn't come to their senses:

"Stop standing there like idiots, keep training!"

The special operations team members then dispersed in twos and threes, seemingly assisting each other with training, but actually whispering gossip in private.

Those who stole glances at the two walking so close, Song Qingtong and Chen Li, were all heartbroken.

"I didn't realize you were so good at hiding your strength. Just how strong are you?"

Song Qingtong led Chen Li into the elevator and pressed the button for the third basement level.

As for realm and combat power, they may sound similar, but in reality there is a big difference. The realm that rich kids can achieve with rare and precious materials is far less powerful than the combat power of experts who have fought their way through the martial arts world.

"It's not that I'm deliberately hiding; it's just that there's no opponent worth my full strength. What would I do on the third basement level?"

Chen Li didn't reveal the truth, cleverly giving a perfunctory reply.

She didn't press the issue if the other person didn't want to talk about it; it would be more interesting to discover it gradually. She replied:

"Du Shoucheng, the head of the contraband ring, is locked up in death row. He is one of Tiger's important downstream distributors and a wanted criminal on the Dragon Kingdom's wanted list. It took a lot of effort to capture him, and there has been no news of him yet."

"Your task is to follow him and infiltrate their gathering. This Du Shoucheng is also trying to escape, and it's possible he might betray you on the spot, which would be detrimental to you."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Let me take you to see him and let you get to know him better."

From the above words, it's clear that Du Shoucheng is a difficult character to handle. Getting him to cooperate in completing the mission while preventing him from turning against you on the spot is indeed a hot potato.

The elevator doors opened.

Chen Li followed her to Du Shoucheng's place of imprisonment.

In the dimly lit corner of the cell, there was a bed where the obese Du Shoucheng was snoring, his voice echoing through the cell. He originally had a skilled bodyguard, but when they were arrested, he resisted fiercely and was killed by two special operations teams working together.

Clang clang...

Song Qingtong knocked on the iron gate.

The snoring stopped abruptly, and Du Shoucheng sat up abruptly. After seeing who it was, he said in a cute and simple way:

"So it's Miss Song. What brings you here so late?"

Song Qingtong introduced:

"This is your partner, who will act as your subordinate and accompany you to the council."

Du Shoucheng waved his hand and said:

"No, no, Tiger asked for the information of the attendees in advance, and my men have already met them."

"Don't even mention Tusha, who's smarter than a rat. Even Tiger Lord could tell whether he was disguising himself or not just by glancing at him. Going there would only be suicide."

That's a very apt statement. We're all江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world), and disguise is a trick we've all learned before. You can tell at a glance whether the skin on someone's face is real or not.

This is indeed a bit difficult.

"I have my own way of making him like your subordinate without anyone noticing, so you don't need to worry about it. Bringing him here is just to let you work together more, so that nothing goes wrong."

Song Qingtong said confidently.

"Alright, Miss Song, first have him act like one of my subordinates, then I'll explain to him the habits of a subordinate and the precautions for attending meetings."

Du Shoucheng clearly didn't think highly of Chen Li. Although Chen Li's physique and facial features were somewhat similar to his subordinate A Jie, Du Shoucheng didn't believe that he could disguise himself so well that no one could tell the difference.

The slick and slippery Du Shoucheng had no real fear. First, he knew that whether he was afraid or not, he would not be able to escape punishment, so he simply accepted it. Second, he still wanted to escape, and he had already devised an escape plan in his mind.

Don't be fooled by his bulky appearance. This heavy criminal, weighing over 200 pounds, is incredibly fast, and no one dares to approach him when he unleashes his signature Mantis Fist technique.

Others being fat means they're really stupid.

His fatness is a perfect disguise; beneath his warm and humorous exterior lies a cold, cunning, and evil nature.
