Du Long's worries were unnecessary. About ten minutes later, his phone rang. The number was unknown. Upon answering, Xia Hongjun's calm voice came through, asking, "Du Long, how's it going on your end? Is anyone still chasing you?"

Du Long loudly asked, "Xia Hongjun, I'm fine, no one is chasing me anymore. How about you? Did they catch you? I'll drive back right away! If they dare to harm you even a bit, I won't let them off!"

Xia Hongjun's voice carried a hint of emotion. He chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm that weak? Don't get too cocky just because you won once. I didn't even use 30% of my strength last night. Don't worry, I've taken them all down. I've switched to a better car and am heading back to Wuxi County."

Du Long was overjoyed, "That's good... that's good. I know you're strong. I just got lucky last night. You were locked up all day without food, and you spent most of your energy on that woman. Of course, with only 30% of your strength, you couldn't beat me. Ha ha..."

Xia Hongjun said with a hint of resentment, "Don't get too cocky, kid. I just didn't want to hurt you. I held back a lot. I could have taken you down with just my pinky! Enough talk, your driving skills are terrible. Drive carefully. Send the evidence for examination and call me back. I'm hanging up."

The call ended abruptly. Du Long laughed and cursed, "Damn, this kid is so arrogant. I'm usually the one hanging up on others..."

Du Long sped into the northern third ring of Yuming City. A police motorcycle screeched behind him, signaling him to stop. Du Long slowed down slightly, rolled down the window, and showed his police badge, shouting, "I'm from the Xishan District Criminal Investigation Team. It's urgent, please cooperate with traffic!"

The traffic officer, whose face was completely covered by a helmet, looked at Du Long, nodded, and drove in front of the van. Du Long thought he was going to lead the way, but the police motorcycle suddenly slowed down and forced Du Long to stop.

Du Long angrily leaned out and shouted, "What are you doing! I already told you I'm a police officer! I'm on a case!"

"I know you're a police officer..." The traffic officer approached with a ticket, sneering, "But I also know you don't have a driver's license. Even if you're on a case, you can't endanger the public with your illegal actions! Get out of the car! I need to check you!"

Recognizing the familiar voice, Du Long quickly calmed down, saying, "It's you! Feng Weiwu! This is public office for private revenge! Do you know how important the evidence in the car is? If the investigation is delayed, can you take the responsibility?"

Feng Weiwu sneered, "I only know that you were speeding and driving without a license, seriously endangering the safety of other vehicles and pedestrians. Get out of the car now, or I'll arrest you!"

Du Long rolled his eyes and got out of the car. Feng Weiwu ordered, "Face the car, hands up on the roof. I suspect you're carrying dangerous items, and I need to check!"

Du Long sternly said, "Feng Weiwu, don't push your luck! Do you think I won't beat you up and chase you away right now?"

Feng Weiwu took a step back, his voice trembling, "What are you doing? Are you assaulting a police officer? I warn you, assaulting a police officer is a serious crime!"

If it were a deserted road, Du Long would have beaten him up right away. Now, he just sneered, took out his phone, pressed a few buttons, and put the phone to his ear. Feng Weiwu said, "Calling anyone won't help. China is a country of law!"

Du Long sneered, "Feng Weiwu, I'm really glad you're so stupid. You've done me another favor. I'll thank you later!"

Feng Weiwu was taken aback. He heard Du Long say into the phone, "Uncle Ma, I've brought the items back to Yuming City, but I've been stopped by a traffic officer. He says I was speeding and driving without a license. No matter how I explain, he won't listen. Do you remember him? He's Vice Mayor Feng's nephew, Feng Weiwu. This is clearly public office for private revenge."

Feng Weiwu didn't expect Du Long to call Mayor Ma directly. He had never dared to call his uncle so casually. Feng Weiwu began to regret his actions and secretly envied Du Long's good fortune.

Mayor Ma thought for a moment, then recalled who Feng Weiwu was. He frowned and said, "Give me the phone, I'll talk to him."

Du Long handed over the phone, but Feng Weiwu refused to answer, saying, "Even if the President came, it wouldn't help. You have committed a serious violation, and the evidence is clear. Please lock your car and come with me to the traffic police station for punishment!"

Du Long put the phone back to his ear and said helplessly, "Uncle Ma, did you hear that? I've encountered a strict law enforcer."

Mayor Ma was seething with anger. Feng Weiwu had hit a nerve. He angrily said, "Strict law enforcement must be appropriate. Ignore him and send the evidence for examination. If he tries to stop you, beat him up, but don't hurt him too much. I'll call his uncle right away. What a spoiled brat..."

Mayor Ma's voice was loud, and Feng Weiwu heard every word clearly. His face, hidden under the helmet, was unknown, but Du Long saw him take several steps back in fear when he raised his hands.

Du Long ignored him, got back into the car, started the engine, and drove past the police motorcycle. As he drove away, he heard Feng Weiwu angrily throw his helmet and shout, "Du Long, you have guts! I'll get you!"

Du Long didn't care. With Feng Weiwu's mentality, he would never have a future in politics and might even ruin his uncle's career.

Not long after, Feng Weiwu's phone rang. Feng Jianwen's voice came through, "Xiao Wu, I'm begging you, can you control yourself and stop provoking Du Long? Do you want to ruin me?"

Feng Weiwu was genuinely afraid. His uncle had never spoken to him in such a tone before. The unprecedented pressure made his heart feel like it was about to explode. He said, "I understand, Uncle. I didn't know it was Du Long. He really was speeding..."

"From now on, stay away from Du Long. He's not someone you can provoke. In the future, be smarter and don't meddle in things that don't concern you. Stay in the traffic police for a while, and I'll arrange another job for you." Feng Jianwen hung up, feeling extremely frustrated. The deputy director of the traffic police, Liu Weimin, had just called to complain, followed by a call from Secretary Wang, who scolded him severely, saying he would be held responsible if the special task force was delayed. Feng Jianwen truly regretted not suffocating Feng Weiwu when he was born, as he always caused trouble for him.
