"Who are you two? Oh! You even have guns!"

Yang Yunpeng had just been dining with a few entertainment venue owners in the district. Just as he was enjoying his drink, he was called over by a phone call from Huang Haifa, which put him in a bad mood.

At this time, it was already dark, and with a bit of alcohol in his system, his eyesight wasn't very good. Lao Xie and Li Xiangdong were dressed in plain clothes, so Yang Yunpeng didn't recognize the two men standing opposite him as his colleagues.

When Yang Yunpeng saw that they had guns, he quickly reached for his own gun at his waist, and the few police officers who came with him also reached for their guns.

Lao Xie, fearing that things would get out of hand, quickly raised his hand and showed his police ID. "We're all colleagues, don't be nervous."

He had been transferred from the Qianshan Branch a few years ago, and most of the young faces in the Public Security Team who came with Yang Yunpeng didn't recognize him, so he quickly showed his police ID.

At this moment, Yang Yunpeng, influenced by the alcohol, saw the police ID and, emboldened by the drink, snatched it from Lao Xie's hand.

"What do you mean 'colleagues'? I want to see where you're from! Oh! You're Officer Xie from the Municipal Bureau? Alright, I'll ask you, Officer Xie, shouldn't you have informed us before coming to our Qianshan Branch jurisdiction to investigate? And if you had informed us, we could have coordinated the investigation better. Not doing so can easily cause misunderstandings among our brother units!"

Despite his drunken state, Yang Yunpeng was clear-headed. After snatching the police ID and seeing the affiliated unit, he immediately regretted it.

Earlier, because Lao Xie was a stranger and looked unremarkable, he thought Lao Xie was from a local police station.

But when he realized that Lao Xie was from the Second Team of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau, he immediately regretted it, even feeling a bit green with regret.

The Second Team of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau was a well-known major case team, filled with famous elite officers who only answered to the top brass of the Municipal Bureau. Even the chiefs of the lower-level branches wouldn't give them the time of day.

Moreover, they had a reputation for handling cases with authority. In other places, they might inform local colleagues and request assistance, but in the city, they always acted with a free hand.

Plus, they were highly skilled, solving major cases in recent years and earning high praise from the higher-ups. Most of the time, local colleagues would avoid them.

But today, he had actually snatched their police ID, clearly offending them. Since he had already offended them, he couldn't let them speak first and decided to accuse them first.

I just got saved by Director Qin after making a mistake. This time, I can't let these major case team members spread rumors. If I don't shut their mouths, and they complain to the higher-ups about obstructing the investigation, I'll be in big trouble.

Yang Yunpeng made up his mind not to let them speak, but his actions thoroughly enraged Lao Xie, who gave a cold laugh.

"We in the major case team don't have the habit of informing outsiders. And you're from the Public Security Team of the Qianshan Branch, right? Hasn't your chief taught you that you can't drink and investigate? How do you study the regulations for police officers on duty? I can smell the alcohol on you from a distance. You drank so much and still dared to come out to investigate, especially with a gun. Haha, you're indeed a good disciple of Director Qin!"

Lao Xie's few words made Yang Yunpeng's back cold and his forehead sweat. These words were piercing, and the current police conduct regulations were being enforced very strictly.

If this guy reported that he was on duty while drunk and even carried a gun, he would be completely finished.

At this moment, he didn't care about his shares in the Baimen Nightclub. His face changed, and he squeezed in front of Lao Xie, returning the police ID.

"Oh, you see, this is like a flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, one family not recognizing another. It was just a misunderstanding. Officers, what case are you here for? Oh! Isn't this Xiao Li? Oh, look at my eyes, I didn't recognize you earlier. We had dinner together a few days ago, I'm your Brother Yang!"

Yang Yunpeng's face changed quickly, and as soon as he got close to Lao Xie, he recognized Li Xiangdong and quickly tried to get close.

A few days ago, he had been frustrated by Li Xiangdong, but now he put all that aside.

Who the hell is your Brother Yang, Li Xiangdong cursed in his heart, but with so many people around, he couldn't just ignore Yang Yunpeng's face. The other side clearly wanted to downplay the matter, and he didn't want to escalate things either.

"Old Huang, what's going on here? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Seeing that Li Xiangdong and Lao Xie weren't pressing the issue, Yang Yunpeng quickly tried to smooth things over, and Huang Haifa took the opportunity to back down.

"There is a bit of a misunderstanding. The two officers came here looking for someone called Xiaodao, but Officer Yang, you know I always do honest business. I don't know anyone called Xiaodao. Why don't you explain to these two officers if there's any misunderstanding?"

Zuo Xiaodao knew too much, and Huang Haifa couldn't hand him over. Yang Yunpeng understood the situation and turned to look at Lao Xie and Li Xiangdong, his face full of difficulty.

Lao Xie didn't intend to hold onto him and turned to Huang Haifa with a cold smile.

"Alright, we won't delay your business, Mr. Huang."

With that, he turned and led Li Xiangdong out of the crowd, leaving.

"Everyone, disperse, disperse, what are you looking at?"

With the two troublemakers gone, Huang Haifa's henchmen came out to disperse the crowd. At this moment, Yang Yunpeng quietly approached Huang Haifa, and the two exchanged cigarettes and lit them.

"Brother Huang, how did you get involved with these guys from the major case team? They're notoriously difficult to deal with."

"Who knows what trouble Xiaodao got into, to attract these troublemakers."

From their conversation, it was clear that the two had a deep relationship.

"Maybe we should arrange for Xiaodao to go into hiding."

"Sure, let's see. By the way, do you know that Officer Li? What's his background?"
