Chapter 32

After Qin Wan'er led the team back to the station, she was seething with anger. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "No more slacking around! Follow me to arrest Wang Shunxi right now!"

"Director Qin, don't be impulsive. Wang Shunxi isn't someone we can just arrest," one of the officers said.

"That's right, Deputy Director Qin. This isn't as simple as you think. We should think it through carefully," another officer added.

Qin Wan'er's anger only intensified after hearing these words. "Can you all just stand by and watch the Four Wolves Gang run rampant? Humph, fine, if you can tolerate it, I can't! If you won't go, I'll go alone!"

The reputation of the tough female cop wasn't for nothing. When Qin Wan'er got angry, even ten oxen couldn't hold her back. All the officers rushed forward to stop her. Xiao Wu, seeing the situation, quickly went upstairs to find Director Liu.

"Get out of my way!" Qin Wan'er glared at everyone. "Do you think you're living up to your badges?!"

At this moment, Liu Guangming pushed through the crowd and walked in. "Xiao Qin, who has you so angry?"

Qin Wan'er was slightly taken aback but, despite her anger, she couldn't ignore the fact that Liu Guangming was the director. "Director Liu, I want to know why we aren't arresting Wang Shunxi! His Four Wolves Gang is notorious in our district! They bully the weak and oppress the good! Why are we letting them run wild?"

Liu Guangming's expression was serious as he sighed. "Xiao Qin, do you know who Wang Shunxi is?"

"Of course I do!" Qin Wan'er huffed. "He's a villain! A gang leader who runs an illegal casino!"

"It's not that simple," Liu Guangming shook his head. "Putting aside the fact that Wang Shunxi is the leader of the Four Wolves Gang, he has a legitimate identity. He's the most famous dog breeder in our district! The Tibetan Mastiff breeding and training base in our district's development zone belongs to him! He's a well-known businessman. He breeds, raises, and trains Tibetan Mastiffs, all of which are legal businesses! We don't have any evidence to arrest him!"

Qin Wan'er was completely deflated by Liu Guangming's words.

"You say he's the leader of the Four Wolves Gang, where's the evidence?" Liu Guangming huffed. "You say he runs an illegal casino, where's the evidence?! We are police officers, not hooligans! We need evidence, not personal feelings!"

"But the attack on the herbal restaurant was definitely their doing! I can stake my life on it!" Qin Wan'er, even in front of Director Liu Guangming, wouldn't back down.

Liu Guangming slammed his hand on the table. "I don't need your life! I need evidence! With evidence, we can make an arrest! Without evidence, no one's life is useful!"

Qin Wan'er suddenly clenched her fists. Fine, I'll find the evidence for you! I don't believe Wang Shunxi has no evidence against him. There must be some secrets hidden in that Tibetan Mastiff breeding base! If you won't go, I'll go alone!

...

The herbal restaurant was in such a mess that it couldn't operate. Xu Yun called Qiangzi and asked if he knew anyone who could do renovations. Qiangzi drove a second-hand Fukan and took Xiao Fei to find Xiao Fei's uncle, who was a contractor. The three of them arrived at the herbal restaurant an hour later.

Seeing the state of the herbal restaurant, Qiangzi was shocked. "Brother Yun, this... was it the Four Wolves Gang?"

"Yep." Xu Yun didn't waste time on the topic. "Let's talk about the renovations."

Xiao Fei grinned and introduced, "Brother Yun, this is my uncle! He has a construction team and has done many renovations. His workers are very meticulous! I've already told him we're not outsiders!"

"Hello, I'm Pang Gang." Xiao Fei's uncle was a big, burly man but had a kind face.

"Xu Yun." Xu Yun smiled and introduced himself. "Since you're Xiao Fei's uncle, I won't say much. I'll leave the design and construction to you. Money is not a problem as long as the work is done well."

Pang Gang slapped his chest. "Brother, you can count on me. As a friend of Xiao Fei, I'll do my best! I don't care about money; I just want to ensure my workers have enough to live on!"

Xu Yun, seeing that Pang Gang was a straightforward person, agreed directly. "When can we start?"

"Anytime. I'll have people come to clean up the trash this afternoon! I won't charge you for the half-day!" Pang Gang was indeed a straightforward person.

Xu Yun smiled. "Great! Brother Pang, just tell the boss lady what you want to eat, and it's on the house!"

The three people upstairs heard the noise and came down. Ruan Qingshuang was surprised. "What's going on?"

"Renovations." Xu Yun shrugged. "How can we operate without renovations?"

Ruan Qingshuang was deeply grateful, not expecting Xu Yun to find people so quickly. "How much will the renovations cost...?"

"Mom, you don't need to worry about that! Dad will definitely handle it!" Guo Guo, who was determined to help her mother, said. "Let's go try on some lingerie! Mom, you'll look sexy!"

Ruan Qingshuang blushed and quickly carried her upstairs.

Chou Yan looked at Xu Yun and the other three but said nothing and went upstairs.

Qiangzi and Xiao Fei were drooling, envying Brother Yun for living with two such beautiful women...

"Brother, I didn't know you had a kid already," Pang Gang laughed.

Xu Yun chuckled, knowing it was hard to explain. "Brother Pang, I'll leave this to you."

"Got it! I'll call the team to start right away!" Pang Gang was efficient, and within half an hour, seven or eight workers arrived, all addressing Xu Yun as "Boss Xu."

Xu Yun gave Xiao Fei 200 yuan to buy a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from a nearby store and distributed one to each worker.

"Thanks, guys. Xu Yun appreciates your hard work. Do a good job, and I won't short you on pay."

The workers didn't hesitate, taking the cigarettes and feeling even more favorably towards Xu Yun. They usually smoked cheaper cigarettes, and a 20-yuan pack of Yuxi was a luxury.

Xu Yun gave the remaining two packs to Pang Gang, who didn't refuse, smiling as he took them.

Guo Guo, unable to stay still, came downstairs while Ruan Qingshuang was cleaning the room, with Chou Yan closely following to prevent her from falling.

"Qiangzi." Xu Yun called Qiangzi aside. "Where is the Four Wolves Gang's base?"

He had no patience to play with the Four Wolves Gang anymore. Their attack on the herbal restaurant had thoroughly enraged Xu Yun. He now wanted to eliminate the Four Wolves Gang to quell his anger.

Qiangzi's playful smile vanished, and he asked cautiously, "Brother Yun... you... you're not thinking of... but the Four Wolves Gang is not easy to deal with!"

"My dad doesn't need your approval to do anything," Guo Guo said, crossing her arms. "Humph, those bad guys destroyed Mom's hard work. Dad, we have to make them pay!"

Qiangzi laughed awkwardly, knowing that children didn't understand how dangerous the Four Wolves Gang was.

"You just need to tell us where they are," Chou Yan said, her voice cold and emotionless.

She knew what Xu Yun wanted to do. Since she couldn't repay him for saving her life, she would help him in this matter.

Qiangzi, taken aback by Chou Yan's cold and proud demeanor, swallowed hard. "Wang... Wang Shunxi has a dog breeding base, specifically for Tibetan Mastiffs, in the eastern development zone..."

"Breeding Tibetan Mastiffs?" Xu Yun's lips curled into a cold smile, filled with icy intent.

"I'll go with you," Chou Yan said calmly.

Xu Yun was taken aback but smiled in agreement. "Sure."

He now understood Chou Yan's character. She was the type who would repay any kindness or enmity. If not, she wouldn't have stayed with Guo Guo, the last of the Feng family, after Feng Qiansui's downfall.

Guo Guo clenched her fists. "I want to go too!"

"What do you want to go for!?" Xu Yun was speechless. "Unless your mom agrees, I won't take you!"

Guo Guo pouted. "If you don't take me, I'll tell Mom you peeked at her while she was showering!"

This statement shocked Chou Yan and Qiangzi, who were both speechless. Chou Yan was surprised, while Qiangzi was envious.

"What?" Xu Yun was dumbfounded. "When did I ever peek at your mom while she was showering!?"

Guo Guo, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, said, "Kids don't lie, hehe! If Dad agrees to take me, I can help you peek in the future."

Chou Yan rolled her eyes and sighed, unable to understand Guo Guo's behavior.

Xu Yun rubbed his chin, thinking. "Really?"

"Of course!" Guo Guo raised her eyebrows triumphantly. "What do you think?"

"Deal!" Xu Yun had no choice. He had to take this little troublemaker. If he offended her, she could do anything.

Chou Yan didn't say anything. She knew that once Guo Guo made up her mind, she couldn't be persuaded. With Xu Yun and her protecting her, Guo Guo would be fine. So, she decided to go along with it.

Ruan Qingshuang, noticing that Chou Yan and Guo Guo were gone, came downstairs and saw everyone at the door. "What's going on?"

"I'm going out with Chou Yan and Guo Guo for a bit. We'll be back soon," Xu Yun said, knowing Chou Yan wouldn't lie and made up a reason.

Guo Guo cooperated. "Yeah, we'll be back soon. Mom, stay at home and wait for us. Don't be fickle."

"Don't use idioms you don't understand!" Ruan Qingshuang wanted to bang her head against the wall. "Come back soon, Chou Yan, make sure you watch them!"

Chou Yan nodded, knowing she might not be able to control either of them.

Xu Yun quickly hailed a taxi, and the three of them got in and disappeared. Ruan Qingshuang, not knowing where they were going, wasn't worried.

Qiangzi, however, was different. He widened his eyes and swallowed several times. The Tibetan Mastiff breeding base was a legitimate den of wolves! They were really going there? Three people! And with Brother Yun, a woman, and a child!

To think they could eliminate the Four Wolves Gang like this? It was a pipe dream, no different from going to their deaths!
