Hong Kong Film: Starting Undercover from the Five Tigers!

“It’s normal to have different opinions,” Liu Wenhao said at an internal league meeting. “We welcome any constructive criticism and suggestions.”

"What if someone doesn't cooperate?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Then let's prove it to them," Liu Wenhao said. "Let the results speak for themselves."

Soon, the first inter-school exchange activity was held. Students from Qingshan No.1 Middle School and Qingshan No.2 Middle School held a learning experience sharing session.

"Our school has consistently achieved excellent results in math competitions," a student from No. 1 High School shared their experience, "mainly because we have a complete training system."

"Our school's English teaching is unique," a student from No. 2 Middle School retorted. "We have foreign teacher classes every week, and the results are very good."

Students from both schools learn from each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"This kind of exchange is really useful," the students who participated in the activity said. "We learned a lot of things we didn't know before."

After the news spread, other schools also began to actively apply to join the exchange program.

"It seems to be working well," Zhao Mingxuan said happily. "Even those students from No. 4 Middle School who were unconvinced are starting to be interested."

But just when the league was developing smoothly, an unexpected piece of news came.

"Wenhao, I have bad news." Xu Hao called, his voice urgent, "Chen Zhong has escaped from prison."

Liu Wenhao dropped the pen from his hand onto the table.

"What? Wasn't he locked up in a detention center?"

“He escaped from the detention center,” Xu Hao said. “I heard he had an inside man. The whole city is searching for him now.”

This news made Liu Wenhao's heart tighten. Chen Zhong was a very vengeful person; if he got away, he would definitely find a way to retaliate.

"How is the situation now?" Liu Wenhao asked.

"The police are doing everything they can to find him, but there are no leads yet," Xu Hao said. "You need to be careful; he'll definitely come after you for revenge."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wenhao immediately called Captain Wang.

"Captain Wang, are you aware of Chen Zhong's prison break?"

"Understood." Captain Wang's voice was heavy. "This matter is very strange. The security measures in the detention center are so strict, it shouldn't be so easy for them to escape."

"what do you mean?"

"There might be a mole," Captain Wang said. "And not a low-ranking one."

This analysis made Liu Wenhao even more worried. If Chen Zhong really did have a high-level inside man, then his situation was very dangerous.

Chapter 1217 Entrance!

"Captain Wang, I need protection," Liu Wenhao said directly.

“I’ve already made the arrangements,” Captain Wang said. “Starting today, plainclothes officers will be protecting you. But you also need to be careful and not act alone.”

That evening, Liu Wenhao told the core members about the situation.

“This Chen Zhong is like a persistent ghost,” Zhang Meng said angrily. “He’s already been arrested, yet he still managed to escape.”

"Now is not the time to be angry," Zhao Mingxuan analyzed calmly. "The key is to figure out a way to deal with him."

"What are they dealing with?" Li Hao asked worriedly. "They're desperate criminals, capable of anything."

"So we need to be even more careful," Liu Wenhao said. "Don't go out alone these next few days, and contact us immediately if anything happens."

Just then, Lin Xiaoyu's phone rang.

"Hello? Dad?" Lin Xiaoyu answered the phone, her face quickly turning deathly pale. "What? Someone's loitering in front of the store?"

Liu Wenhao immediately understood that Chen Zhong had begun his revenge.

"Xiaoyu, go home right away," Liu Wenhao said. "I'm going to find Captain Wang."

Half an hour later, several police cars surrounded Lin Xiaoyu's stationery store. But the suspicious people had already disappeared.

"We're a step too late," Captain Wang said regretfully. "But according to the surveillance footage, there were indeed a few strangers loitering around here."

"What are they trying to do?" Lin Xiaoyu's father asked worriedly.

“Threats,” Liu Wenhao said directly. “Chen Zhong wants to retaliate against me by threatening the people around me.”

"What should we do then?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

"We'll close the shop for a few days," Liu Wenhao said. "We'll talk about it again once we catch Chen Zhong."

In the following days, similar incidents occurred one after another. Suspicious people appeared at the gate of Zhao Mingxuan's factory, and Zhang Meng's restaurant was also harassed.

“This can’t go on,” Liu Wenhao said during a phone call with Captain Wang. “Chen Zhong is clearly trying to drag us into a protracted war.”

"Indeed," Captain Wang said helplessly. "They are very cunning. They always stop short of leaving any evidence."

"Is there anywhere he might be hiding?" Liu Wenhao asked.

“We’ve investigated, and his network of connections has basically been severed,” Captain Wang said. “There aren’t many people who can help him now.”

Liu Wenhao thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

"Captain Wang, I want to take the initiative."

"What do you mean?"

“I’ll act as bait to lure him out,” Liu Wenhao said. “Instead of passively defending, we should take the initiative.”

Captain Wang was silent for a moment. "It's too dangerous."

"How will I know if I don't try?" Liu Wenhao insisted. "Besides, I'm confident I can handle it."

Ultimately, Captain Wang agreed to the plan.

The following night, Liu Wenhao went alone to an abandoned factory area on the outskirts of the city. The area was deserted, making it an ideal place to set a trap.

He stopped in a conspicuous spot and sent Chen Zhong a text message: "Come find me if you dare. Don't make things difficult for innocent people. Address sent."

He quickly received a reply: "Kid, you've finally come out. Wait, I'll deal with you right away."

Liu Wenhao put his phone away and began to wait.

Although it appeared to be just him alone, Captain Wang had actually arranged for a large number of police officers to lie in ambush around him.

Half an hour later, several dark figures appeared at the entrance to the factory area.

"They're here," Liu Wenhao thought to himself.

Chapter 1218 Vision!

Chen Zhong, accompanied by several of his men, cautiously approached Liu Wenhao.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have the guts to come out alone." Chen Zhong stopped ten meters away from Liu Wenhao.

“Chen Zhong, you have no other way out,” Liu Wenhao said calmly. “You might as well surrender and maybe you can get lenient treatment.”

"Surrender?" Chen Zhong sneered. "You've ruined my future, and you expect me to surrender?"

“That’s what you got for your own actions,” Liu Wenhao said. “If you hadn’t broken the law, would you be in this situation today?”

"Enough with the nonsense!" Chen Zhong snapped angrily. "Today I'll show you the consequences of offending me!"

He waved for his men to take action.

At this critical moment, a bright light suddenly shone from all around.

"Don't move, officer!"

Captain Wang led a large group of police officers to surround the area from all directions.

Chen Zhong and his men were completely surrounded, with no chance of escape.

"Chen Zhong, your end is near." Captain Wang held up his pistol. "Surrender now, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Chen Zhong looked at the police officers around him and knew that the situation was hopeless. But his eyes were still filled with hatred.

"Kid, you win this time." Chen Zhong glared at Liu Wenhao, "but this isn't over yet."

“It’s over for you,” Liu Wenhao said. “You will spend the rest of your life in prison.”

Minutes later, Chen Zhong and all his men were arrested. This once powerful deputy governor was finally captured.

"Now we can finally relax." Captain Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "Chen Zhong can't escape this time."

From then on, Liu Wenhao and his friends no longer had to worry about retaliation. They could focus on building the middle school student alliance and contributing to the education cause in Qingshan City.

Liu Wenhao also learned a lot from this experience. Power can indeed bring about change, but those who wield power must possess sufficient wisdom and a sense of responsibility. Only in this way can power truly benefit society, rather than becoming a tool for evil.

Two months after the establishment of the Aoyama City Junior High School Students' Alliance, exchange activities among the schools have been in full swing. Schools that were previously operating independently have begun to truly cooperate, and students' horizons have been broadened.

"Our alliance won a total of five first prizes in this math competition," Zhao Mingxuan excitedly reported, holding up the report card. "That's double the city's total from last year."

"The English speech contest was also good; the top three were all students from our alliance," Lin Xiaoyu added.

Looking at the report cards, Liu Wenhao smiled with satisfaction. The alliance was originally established to allow students to learn from each other, and it seemed to be working quite well.

“However, there are also some problems.” Li Hao’s tone was somewhat worried. “We’ve received news from No. 4 Middle School that some of their students are starting to become dissatisfied.”

"What are you unhappy about?" Zhang Meng asked.

“They feel that the benefits of the alliance are all taken by No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, and they are allocated too few resources,” Li Hao said. “Some people also say that the alliance is just No. 1 Middle School’s monopoly.”

Liu Wenhao frowned. He had anticipated this sound, but he hadn't expected it to appear so soon.

"Who exactly are these people saying this?" Liu Wenhao asked.

"Mainly Wang Qiang, the vice president of the student council at No. 4 Middle School," Li Hao replied. "He has considerable influence at school, and his family has connections."

Chapter 1219 Significance!

Liu Wenhao remembered Wang Qiang. He lost to the current chairman during the Fourth Middle School student council election and had been resentful ever since. Now, by making his voice heard over the alliance issue, he was clearly trying to seize power.

"Are there any other schools expressing opposition?" Liu Wenhao continued to ask.

“There are some similar cases at No. 5 and No. 6 Middle Schools, but not as intense as at No. 4 Middle School,” Lin Xiaoyu said. “The main reason is that they feel the resources are not allocated fairly.”

Liu Wenhao stood up and paced around the office. He knew this kind of problem would arise when the alliance was established. Different schools have different interests, and coordinating them is indeed not easy.

"Alright, let's hold a general meeting of the alliance next week," Liu Wenhao decided. "Let's put all the issues on the table and discuss and resolve them together."

"What if they cause trouble at the meeting?" Zhang Meng worried.

"If they're going to challenge us, then so be it. The real problem is not solving the issues," Liu Wenhao said. "And I believe most students are still rational."

The news sparked mixed reactions from various schools. Schools that supported Liu Wenhao welcomed the news, while those with differing opinions began secretly working together.

"I heard Wang Qiang has contacted people from several schools," Xu Hao told Liu Wenhao over the phone. "They want to unite against you at the meeting."

"They're teaming up against me?" Liu Wenhao laughed. "I'm not their enemy, why would they want to target me?"

“They felt you had too much power and wanted to redistribute the leadership of the alliance,” Xu Hao said. “Wang Qiang even said that he wanted to turn the alliance into a truly democratic organization.”

Liu Wenhao felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. Democracy is a good thing, but if it's used for internal strife, then it loses its true meaning.

The meeting was scheduled for Friday afternoon at the city's youth activity center. Representatives from various schools arrived one after another, and the atmosphere was more tense than at any previous meeting.

"The main purpose of today's meeting is to listen to everyone's opinions and suggestions," Liu Wenhao said bluntly. "Any questions are welcome."

Wang Qiang was the first to stand up. "I have a few questions to ask."

"Please speak," Liu Wenhao said calmly.

"First, what are the standards for allocating resources within the alliance?" Wang Qiang asked sharply. "Why do No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School always get the best exchange opportunities?"

The atmosphere immediately became tense. Representatives from other schools also looked at Liu Wenhao, awaiting his answer.

"The criteria for resource allocation are very simple," Liu Wenhao said. "It's determined by the needs of the project and the actual situation of the school. For example, in math competitions, No. 1 Middle School has the best foundation, so it hosts the training courses. In English communication, No. 2 Middle School has foreign teacher resources, so it is responsible for that project."

"Isn't this just a case of the strong getting stronger?" Wang Qiang persisted. "Then what about schools like ours with weaker foundations? Are we destined to always be supporting characters?"

This question certainly hits the nail on the head. The alliance was originally established to facilitate mutual learning, but objectively it does make strong universities even stronger.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Liu Wenhao countered. "Distribute the resources equally, regardless of the actual results?"

“At the very least, the leadership should be rotated,” Wang Qiang said. “Every school should have the opportunity to lead the project.”

“Leading a project is possible, but only if you have the capability,” Liu Wenhao said. “If fairness is prioritized over effectiveness, what is the point of the alliance?”
