Jiang Youdao was locked up for almost an hour in that small room, constantly cursing Lin Feng.

Because the guards outside were all hired by Lin Feng, upon hearing Jiang Youdao dare to insult the boss who pays them, each of them was furious, wanting to hit Jiang Youdao to vent their anger for Lin Feng. However, since Jiang Youdao and his team were law enforcement officers in uniform, those guards didn’t dare to act recklessly, holding back their anger with no way to express it, joining in the loud cursing and threatening of Jiang Youdao from outside the door...

As the exchange of insults grew more intense, by the time Zhu Xiuyue came over to release them, both sides had already reached the point of kicking the door in rage. Seeing Jiang Youdao’s arrogant demeanor, Zhu Xiuyue stopped herself from informing him that Yang Tian had already arrived, and directly had the guards brought him and his subordinates out.

At this point, Jiang Youdao was filled with anger. He thought Lin Feng couldn’t handle the pressure anymore and was letting them go. Seeing his superior Guo Qizheng and Deputy Mayor Yang Tian only confirmed this thought further...

So, without much thought, Jiang Youdao started lamenting to Yang Tian and Guo Qizheng from afar...

By the time Jiang Youdao noticed the change in Yang Tian and Guo Qizheng’s expressions, it was already too late, as the group of reporters Yang Tian brought along promptly turned all their cameras onto him after hearing his words... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Sir, may I ask what your position is, and why did you say that Longfeng Martial Hall opened without permission?"

"Can you explain why Longfeng Martial Hall would illegally detain you? Is it because the supporters behind Longfeng Martial Hall have a shady background?"

"Sir, it’s a few hours before official work hours, so why did you come here to enforce the law with your team?"

...

Jiang Youdao was suddenly bewildered by the many reporters handing him recording devices while questioning him. He hadn’t noticed these people’s presence just now...

"Mr. Guo, who is this person?!" Yang Tian was on the verge of trembling with anger, not recognizing Jiang Youdao, he gritted his teeth and asked Guo Qizheng beside him.

Yang Tian was here today for political achievements; the Longfeng Martial Hall absolutely had to be legitimate with no unsavory background. But this Jiang Youdao, who appeared out of nowhere, immediately tarnished Longfeng Martial Hall’s reputation. If the Martial Hall led by Deputy Mayor Yang Tian turned out to be controlled by criminal forces or unlicensed, such news spread would leave Yang Tian with no face to speak of?!

Guo Qizheng also hadn’t expected such a turn of events; the fact that his subordinate, Jiang Youdao, would suddenly emerge from Longfeng Martial Hall.

"Mayor Yang, his name is Jiang Youdao, one of my deputy directors. But I truly have no idea why he is here!" Guo Qizheng had to distance himself, knowing Jiang Youdao had already offended Yang Tian. If he didn’t detach himself, Yang Tian might vent his anger on him.

"What is going on here?!" Yang Tian was very upset, intending to separate Jiang Youdao and the media reporters, but he didn’t have anyone available. At this point, he couldn’t care about much else. Seeing a team of neatly dressed guards behind Lin Feng, he instinctively spoke to Lin Feng, "Boss Lin, I ask for a favor, please help me bring Jiang Youdao out, I would be most grateful!"

Lin Feng chuckled lightly, not wanting Jiang Youdao to spout nonsense in front of other media, preventing damage to Longfeng Martial Hall’s reputation. He nodded to the security team captain Dachen behind him, signaling them to move.

Captain Dachen and the security team quickly pulled Jiang Youdao out from the crowd of reporters, forcefully restraining him back to a gym next to the entrance of Longfeng Martial Hall. On the way, the guards who already disliked Jiang Youdao gave him quite a few punches.

Subsequently, Lin Feng and Zhu Xiuyue followed along with Yang Tian, Guo Qizheng, and their two secretaries, entering the gym, standing aside, ready to watch the drama unfold.

"Jiang Youdao, you’d better explain this clearly to me, what’s going on?!" Guo Qizheng glared at Jiang Youdao, asking sternly.

At this point, Jiang Youdao realized something was amiss. To have made it to the position of deputy director, he had some brains. He already vaguely guessed the intentions of Guo Qizheng and Yang Tian, knowing their purpose definitely wasn’t to stand up for him...

Yang Tian and Guo Qizheng’s aim was presumably to attend the opening ceremony of this Martial Hall!

Why did Deputy Mayor Yang and Director Guo come over? I haven’t even submitted the report Longfeng Martial Hall sent up...

Could it be Lin Feng has other channels to reach these big shots?!

Realizing this, Jiang Youdao felt as though an invisible hand was choking him, leaving him uncertain of what to say...

What now? Should he tell Guo Qizheng his purpose for coming today was to close Lin Feng’s Martial Hall due to personal grievance?

Jiang Youdao’s mind was on the verge of collapse!

But pretending to be an ostrich wouldn’t help, he didn’t come alone, he brought a team with him!

"Humph, Jiang Youdao, play dumb all you want! Let’s hear it from someone else—how about you!" Guo Qizheng randomly pointed to a glasses-wearing, relatively skinny young man behind Jiang Youdao, speaking in a serious tone.

"Director Guo... Wh-what should I say?" The young man who was pointed at, looked like a newcomer who’d just joined the Sports Bureau, seemed very nervous facing Guo Qizheng, stuttering while unsure how to respond.

"Tell us why you were called here by Jiang Youdao... Director Jiang today, what were you planning on doing?" Guo Qizheng- seeing the young man’s terrified expression, spoke calmly.

"Director Jiang said the Martial Hall’s paperwork isn’t complete, we were called here to shut it down..." The young office worker’s demeanor finally relaxed a bit, after glancing at Jiang Youdao stealthily, he spoke honestly.

"Shut it down?!" Guo Qizheng’s face paled more severely as he looked at the office worker and questioned further, "Why shut it down? Didn’t the Martial Hall owner submit audit documents within a month of completion?"

"Longfeng Martial Hall did submit documents! It was even processed by me!" The office worker scratched his head, expressing confusion, "But Director Jiang said their documents didn’t pass, so it wasn’t audited, I have no idea why..."

"Jiang Youdao!" Guo Qizheng was furious, the thing that angered him most was Jiang Youdao actually intercepted the report Longfeng Martial Hall submitted. When Guo Qizheng saw in the newspaper that this Martial Hall was about to open, he thought the owner lacked experience, failed to submit documents for audit at the Sports Bureau, and intended to inform them while coming with Yang Tian for the ribbon-cutting...

Who would have thought! It turned out Jiang Youdao had meddled; how could Guo Qizheng not be angry?!

"I’d like to ask you, what’s wrong with the Martial Hall’s application materials? You’d better give me clear reasons!"
