"Rest assured, Uncle Hao, I definitely won't let you down."

Li Xiangdong replied warmly in his heart.

It was Hao Rentong who had specially recruited him into the police academy. At that time, he had just failed the college entrance exam. If it weren't for Uncle Hao's help back then, he might still be wandering around in some corner of society, and it's certain that he would be in a very difficult situation. However, during the nearly four years he spent in the police academy, he not only failed to bring any glory to Hao Rentong but also repeatedly embarrassed him.

Over the years, he had never passed the physical and combat tests. Even in the police academy, students studying administrative subjects had to pass these basic training tests. But he had never passed them. If it were any other student, they would have been expelled hundreds of times by now. However, each time, Hao Rentong had gone out of his way to protect him. Over these three years, Li Xiangdong had always remembered Hao Rentong's kindness. Without Hao Rentong, there would be no Li Xiangdong today.

So, now that he had the ability, he absolutely would not allow himself to continue to embarrass him, because it would not only hurt himself but also Hao Rentong.

"Alright, work hard, Xiangdong. I believe in you. You will definitely become an outstanding police officer like your grandfather and father."

Hao Rentong patted Li Xiangdong's shoulder forcefully, and Li Xiangdong nodded firmly.

Because his mother was injured and needed care, Li Xiangdong took a week off from school. After staying in the hospital for two days, he discharged his mother. However, before discharge, a police captain surnamed Wei from the Development Zone Public Security Bureau came to take a statement from Li Xiangdong and his mother. This time, the statement was not about Li Xiangdong's family but about the Hengfa Group.

It seemed that Wang Shuren had not forgotten his promise, and Li Xiangdong was both happy and grateful for his attitude.

After being discharged, he returned home and rested for a few days. His mother's condition gradually improved. The injury was not severe; apart from a fracture in her left calf, there were no serious injuries.

During these days, Li Xiangdong took care of his mother at home, and his mother's apprentice, Wang Luoshi, often came to help, which deeply moved Li Xiangdong and his mother.

With the holiday about to end and only two days left before returning to the police academy, Li Xiangdong decided it was time to resolve the unfinished issues.

His mother was deliberately hit by someone from the Hengfa Group, but so much time had passed, and the Hengfa Group had not shown any attitude, which was quite unreasonable.

However, considering that he had also caused a commotion at the Hengfa Group headquarters, it could be considered even.

But the bastard who hit his mother, Li Xiangdong had no intention of letting him off easily. Although he had not left home these past few days, he had learned about the guy through people in the village.

Since the Hengfa Group had many businesses near their village, the fat guy often appeared in the vicinity.

A few years ago, when their house was vandalized, this fat guy was among those who caused trouble. Later, he was caught and imprisoned for two years.

Now he was causing trouble again and even hit his mother. With old grudges still unsettled, Li Xiangdong was determined to settle all accounts at once.

That day, he beat the fat guy and his henchmen severely, even breaking the guy's leg. Unlike his mother's fracture, the guy's leg was completely broken.

Such an injury would take several months or even a year to recover, so finding this guy was relatively simple.

By visiting a few hospitals in the city, he could easily find the guy's whereabouts.

Sure enough, it only took half a day for Li Xiangdong to find the guy, nicknamed Zhao Luer, at the newly established Oriental Hospital in the Development Zone.

"Damn, so arrogant? Boss, just say the word, and we'll go and block that guy's house, and chop him up."

A small guy was sitting by Zhao Luer's hospital bed.

Zhao Luer was half-lying, half-sitting on the bed, with his left leg, heavily bandaged in plaster, hanging in the air. In front of him were a few henchmen, and a bedside table had been moved to the front of the bed, holding some cooked food and white wine.

The group often smoked and drank in the ward, boasting and making a mess, which had happened more than once. The hospital security guards had been beaten by them at least twice when they tried to persuade them to stop.

That day, after a few drinks, they couldn't help but start boasting again.

"Damn, my revenge is mine to take. Wait two more months, and I'll be discharged. When I'm out, I'll personally chop him up. If I don't dismember him, I won't be surnamed Zhao."

After finishing the white wine in front of him, Zhao Luer pulled out a large machete from under the bed and slammed it on the bedside table, saying viciously.

If he didn't chop up Li Xiangdong, he would become a laughingstock, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Huanghai City. Zhao Luer couldn't accept such a result.

"Oh? Is that so? You want to chop me up? No need to wait two months, I'm here now. If you want to chop me, come and try!"

A strange voice suddenly came from the door, and the few people in the room turned around sharply to see a young man standing at the ward door, a cold smile on his face.

When they saw his face clearly, Zhao Luer couldn't help but shudder. Although he had boasted loudly in front of his henchmen, he didn't have the courage to face Li Xiangdong and swing his knife at him.

For some reason, he even dared not look Li Xiangdong in the eye. The guy's eyes were too sharp, like a blade, and when they swept over someone, it felt like being cut.

Zhao Luer suddenly remembered how he had been like a rag doll in the guy's hands, completely helpless, and the scenes replayed in his mind, not giving him courage but making him lose all his nerve.

However, his henchmen didn't know what had happened to their boss that day. The small guy who had spoken first threw his glass: "Brothers, follow me..."
