Gao Hong and the others were also drunk, and their tempers flared up. The group surrounded the young men, beating them to the ground so they couldn't get up.

Yang Chen didn't stop them but instead asked Sun Yue: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Sun Yue frowned as she watched the crowd beating those young men. A lot of bystanders had gathered around, and she couldn't help but frown and say, "Aren't you going to stop them? If something serious happens, it might be difficult to handle."

"It's fine!" Yang Chen sneered and said, "These guys should really learn a lesson. They dared to harass just anyone!"

As he spoke, Yang Chen glanced at Sun Yue.

He couldn't believe Sun Yue was anything but tough, as she was also a former agent. Being Ye Xin's assistant, she had to be a top-notch agent. Furthermore, Yang Chen didn't believe that after being with Ye Xin for so long, Sun Yue hadn't picked up any of Ye Xin's ruthless traits.

If Yang Chen didn't intervene, he was sure that by tomorrow these guys would be corpses lying in the street!

Yang Chen allowed Gao Hong and the others to make this ruckus now as a way to solve the issue without causing any fatalities.

Of course, a lesson had to be taught.

Soon, the hotel staff arrived and separated everyone.

After inquiring about the incident, the hotel staff decided to call the police.

However, they didn't have to make the call as the patrol officers had already arrived.

Naturally, Yang Chen was taken away along with the young men.

Inside the office.

Zhao Wende walked in quickly, with a wry smile, and said to Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, you've caused me trouble as soon as you returned!"

"Did I cause trouble?" Yang Chen chuckled and said, "I don't think so, right? We were just acting in self-defense. Those young men tried to provoke us and even harassed my friend. It was only normal for us to fight back."

"Uh!" Zhao Wende felt a bit frustrated, "Alright, I understand what to do."

Yang Chen smiled wryly and said, "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gao Hong and the others, or you can ask the victim, Sun Yue, herself."

Zhao Wende nodded, "I trust what you say."

After a pause, he asked, "Where have you been this past year?"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Just went around."

"Oh!" Zhao Wende paused, "You know Gu Xijun has been transferred, right?"

"Yeah! I saw her in Ancheng."

"You went to Ancheng?"

"Yeah, I've been there recently."

"Oh!" Zhao Wende's expression was a bit strange.

After exchanging a few casual words, Zhao Wende let Yang Chen leave, saying that Gao Hong and the others would be able to leave soon too.

Leaving the office, Yang Chen planned to step out for some air while waiting for Gao Hong and the others to come out.

But before he could leave, someone rushed towards him.

Yang Chen was just about to react when he got a good look at the person and was momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, the female patrol officer pinned Yang Chen down on a table and handcuffed him.

This left Yang Chen completely bewildered.

"Gu Mengmeng!" Zhao Wende, hearing the commotion outside, opened his office door and immediately shouted.

"Captain!" Gu Mengmeng saluted Zhao Wende and shouted, "I just saw this person trying to sneak away, so I quickly caught him!"

Zhao Wende, upon hearing this, couldn't help but facepalm in frustration.

Yang Chen was even more frustrated. He looked at Zhao Wende and asked, "Captain Zhao, what's going on? Are all your female patrol officers this tough?"

First, it was Gu Xijun, now there's Gu Mengmeng?

It's like they're determined to mess with Yang Chen!

Zhao Wende stepped up and reprimanded Gu Mengmeng: "Let him go! Unlock the handcuffs, and release him!"

"But..." Gu Mengmeng was a bit reluctant.

Zhao Wende scolded, "Release him! He came out of my office, how could he be escaping? What on earth are you thinking every day?"

Gu Mengmeng, realizing this, shrank back, quickly unlocked the handcuffs, and apologetically said to Yang Chen, "Sorry! Sorry! That was impulsive!"

She lived up to the "cute" part of her name, looking quite naive.

But Yang Chen was baffled. How did someone with this personality make it into the patrol team?

Besides... Yang Chen was stunned earlier because Gu Mengmeng looked so much like Gu Xijun, especially her explosive figure.

"Is she..." Yang Chen wondered aloud.

Zhao Wende replied helplessly, "She's Gu Xijun's cousin, just graduated from the police academy this year, and got assigned here."

"Gu Xijun's cousin!" Yang Chen suddenly understood why they looked so similar.

Immediately, Yang Chen looked at Zhao Wende with a pitiful gaze.

Poor Zhao Wende.

As soon as one troublemaker, full of a sense of justice, Gu Xijun, left, another one with a wacky mind, Gu Mengmeng, arrived. They're really pushing Zhao Wende towards early retirement!

Perhaps the Gu family's tactic is to drive Zhao Wende away so they can inherit the captain's position...

Yang Chen didn't pursue the issue, but glanced at Zhao Wende with sympathy before walking out.

When Zhao Wende saw Yang Chen's look, he suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie.

The Gu family's girls were really driving him crazy.

But these were recommendations by his former leader, so he had to take care of them and just grit his teeth.

Soon, Gao Hong and the others came out as well.

As soon as they saw Yang Chen, they laughed heartily and said, "Boss! That was liberating!"

"So liberating!"

"People like them deserve a beating!"

"Let's see if they've learned their lesson this time!"

"Damn it, next time we see them, we'll beat them again!"

...

Yang Chen watched their ruffian-like behavior and couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

Gao Hong came up, smiling: "Boss, do you remember the first time we came down the mountain and got into a fight?"

Yang Chen smiled wryly and shook his head slightly, saying, "Don't mention it, it was embarrassing!"

Back then, on their first trip down the mountain, they encountered two groups fighting. In their youthful vigor, Yang Chen and his group tried to mediate, challenging those people to go fight the Beihai Country people instead, accusing them of only being hard on their own people.

As a result, both groups came to fight them.

Even though their group was strong, they couldn't withstand the numbers and weren't supposed to use lethal force, so they had to retreat.

Because of this incident, they were laughed at countless times by Zhuo Jingyu during training, and because of this, everyone underwent intensive mob fight training.

It was a situation where a group would fight an individual. You either fight back or get beaten.

Fighting back required technique, while taking a beating also required skill.

How to fight back effectively, dealing the most damage to the most people, and conserving energy in an outnumbered situation.

If taking a beating, how to protect vital parts of your body effectively, minimizing damage to yourself, while also learning the skill to escape!

When you can't win, run. This skill is invaluable anywhere.

Thinking back to that training period, Yang Chen felt a slight ache all over.

The others couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression as well.
