After causing a commotion at the headquarters of Hengfa Group, Li Xiangdong was already prepared to face the other party's疯狂报复.

Most of the old residents of Huanghai City knew the rise of Hengfa Group. The history of this group's rise could be described as a bloody history, filled with many unsavory elements.

And for them to reach their current position, they had to be adept at both the legal and illegal worlds.

This time, Li Xiangdong offended the CEO of Hengfa Group, Mr. Huang, and even injured the head of Hengfa Group's security department. It was impossible that they wouldn't seek revenge.

However, since Dog Face was injured, even if Hengfa Group wanted to take revenge, they might not immediately find suitable people. They might first try to work through legal channels, and if they couldn't bring him down that way, they would still resort to illegal means.

After obtaining the power of the Four Beasts and understanding the martial arts passed down from his ancestors, Li Xiangdong's confidence increased. He wasn't really afraid of Hengfa Group.

He wasn't afraid, but he still had his mother, and he couldn't be sure when Hengfa Group would seek revenge or if they would target his family. These were all things that worried him.

Now that Wang Shuren had spoken up, although he didn't say much, Li Xiangdong knew that as long as Wang Shuren agreed to help, he didn't need to fear Hengfa Group's retaliation.

Because Wang Shuren was well-known in the Huanghai City police system for his hatred of evil and his impartiality. A person with such qualities could only have reached his current position through his abilities in this materialistic society.

In the past, he became famous for fighting against organized crime. Many of Huanghai City's underworld bosses ultimately fell to him, which earned him his reputation.

Today, he said he would protect him. Even if Hengfa Group had the nerve, they would still have to give him some face.

"Uncle Wang, we really have to thank you for this."

"Oh! No need for formalities. This is what I should do. If we let such scoundrels bully the children of the police system, and we don't speak up, what kind of order would that be? Don't worry, Xiao Li, Uncle Wang will definitely get justice for you."

As Wang Shuren was speaking, his phone rang again. He looked at it and said apologetically to Hao Runtong:

"Oh, I'm really sorry, Old Principal. I was planning to treat you to a meal today, but you see, something has come up at the bureau, and I need to go back immediately."

"Oh! There's no rush for the meal. This weekend, come to my place, and I'll prepare some wine and dishes. We can have a good drink. Work comes first, go ahead and take care of it."

Seeing that his purpose for calling Wang Shuren had been achieved, Hao Runtong let him leave. Wang Shuren was clearly pleased with the old principal's invitation for the weekend.

After exchanging a few more polite words with Hao Runtong and Li Xiangdong's mother and son, he left the hospital room.

"You, you've really grown! How could you be so good at fighting? Why didn't you show such skills at school? You couldn't even pass the physical fitness test. What's going on with you?"

As soon as Wang Shuren left the hospital room, Hao Runtong reached out and gave Li Xiangdong a light slap on the back of the head. Li Xiangdong awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and smiled.

"Uncle Hao, I don't know what's going on either. You saw how hard I worked at the police academy, but it was strange. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pass the physical fitness tests or the combat exams. It was like there was a barrier I couldn't break through. But when my mother had this accident, and I heard the news, it felt like my brain exploded. Suddenly, that barrier was broken. Before, I would get confused during actual combat, even though I could perform perfectly during practice. But this time, I not only performed at 100%, but even exceeded it. I can't explain why, but it's like in those martial arts novels, where breaking through a bottleneck leads to rapid progress."

Li Xiangdong could only explain to Hao Runtong using a somewhat mystical approach. Hao Runtong had been at the police academy for nearly a decade and had been a police officer for several decades, so he had seen all kinds of people. Li Xiangdong's situation was something he had encountered before.

"Hmm, your situation is indeed unusual, but it's not unprecedented. This is more like a psychological issue. I was worried that your condition might be related to the psychological trauma from your father's disappearance and the family's misfortune. Now, hearing you say this, I'm more confident that it is related to your family's past. It makes sense. I once had two students with similar conditions... Ha ha, it's good that you've finally overcome it. What can we call this? Turning a disaster into a blessing?"

Li Xiangdong didn't expect the old principal to buy his explanation, but upon further thought, it made sense. After all, he had encountered similar phenomena before, and he categorized Li Xiangdong's situation with his previous experiences, which was fine.

"This is not bad. Now that you've overcome your psychological barrier, the training you've undergone in the past will serve as a solid foundation for your future development. To be honest, I've always seen your hard work at the police academy. You've endured such tough training, but you couldn't pass the exams, which puzzled me. But now, it's all good. Your condition is cured. In the future, you must perform well at school and show those who look down on you that the Li family's reputation as a police dynasty is not just talk. Let them see that my judgment is never wrong."

The old principal patted Li Xiangdong's shoulder and said this to him, his eyes filled with expectation as he spoke.
