The hijacking incident ended quickly at the airport by the joint efforts of several city leaders’ “Tai Chi Hand Push”[1]. Qin Fen was then sent to the city government office in a police car.
The five city leaders who were at the airport smiled faintly as they looked at the files brought by Qin Fen. The youngest colonel in the Federation. Could the previous incident of him beating people up in Shenyang be made deliberately by the higher-ups in order for him to be sent here via air?
“Cough… cough… ”
The mayor looked at several other leaders, coughed twice and said, “Colonel Qin Fen, according to the assignment from the higher-ups, your position will be the Deputy Bureau Chief of Tianbei Police Department.”
Qin Fen nodded without saying a word. From the eyes of these colleagues, only fake smiles could be seen, and hidden under these smiles was the word “dislike”.
“We dislike formalities in Tianbei City and do things straightforwardly. Hence, I will not hide or cover anything.” The mayor of Tianbei coughed, “I guess you will feel somewhat uncomfortable working with old people like us, how about you work with the group of young people instead?!”
The other four city leaders nodded, and one of the police chiefs of Tianbei City said with a smile, “We have a special security detachment in Tianbei City, where there is a group of enthusiastic and energetic young people who are also the elite of our Tianbei City police force. As deputy bureau chief of the Tianbei City Police Department, you will be responsible mainly for leading and working together with them.”
Qin Fen was a little surprised. He thought that he would only be assigned to a job similar to clerical work here initially; he did not expect to actually be given real power.
In theory, this special security detachment could only be responsible for the supervision of the implementation of firearms, ammunition, explosives, poison and other dangerous goods. And at the same time, guide public security management in public places and special industries, the construction, group prevention and group organization of the city’s public security police station, and the management of public security order. It was also responsible for handling law and order cases, business guidance and assessment, criminal case guidance, conduct anti-counterfeiting and market order rectification. Furthermore, they were to organize and coordinate major case investigations, prohibit prostitution and gambling work, and assist relevant departments to work on juvenile crime prevention, women’s rights maintenance and other work.
To sum it up in a sentence, this was a department that could manage everything, but at the same time couldn’t manage anything. After all, an encountered situation in the city usually ended up with specific details being placed in various departments or branches.
Qin Fen looked at the five superiors with some confusion. If they didn’t like him, why would they give him a real authoritative department as such? Wouldn’t it better to give him a position in title only?
The deputy bureau chief of Tianbei Police Station and the current deputy captain of the special security detachment. A specific job where the main target was to take charge of the special security detachment.
Qin Fen took the file and gave a salute. He then left the room to receive the corresponding police uniform and other equipment.
The five city leaders looked at each other and smiled. They all saw the slyness in each others’ eyes. For the news from Shenyang, everyone still had a trace of disbelief. This case of being seemingly suppressed and then thrown into a place for investigation has happened too many times in the Federation.
Be careful, it’s better to be careful! The five city leaders smiled happily. S pecial security detachment? Although the kids there were not princes, all of their uncles had forces behind them.
These young masters’ backgrounds really caused headaches for them, so they were simply thrown into the special security detachment. This was a “nursery school” that could allow them to not work at all while at the same time, teach them about the real world.
As the police chief thought of the special security detachment, even he smiled. They were a bunch of nitpickers who liked to huddle. Their martial strengths considered decent among the young people in Tianbei City, but their somewhat despicable tactics were what was most troublesome.
In just a year, there were already four deputy captains who transferred away from there. They were completely unable to discipline these young people.
Tianbei City’s city public security bureau was not exactly magnificent, but its floor space was not tiny.
Qin Fen arrived at the city bureau with the documents to settle the final procedures, “Hello, these are the items I need to receive, please print a copy of my ID for me.”
The person in the document printing room took the file, stunned when she saw it. She looked up at Qin Fen with some surprise, “Deputy captain of the special security detachment?”
“Yeah.” Qin Fen nodded. He immediately saw a pitiful gaze from the policewoman who printed the document.
That’s right! It was pity! Qin Fen frowned slightly. This was already not the first time he saw this kind of gaze. As he went through the procedures, whenever the other parties saw the special security detachment deputy captain title, they would show a pitiful look.
“Ai…” The policewoman sighed while printing the documents. I really don’t know how this young man offended the higher-ups to actually be sent to the special security detachment as branch captain.
In the room, several other female police officers also cast pitiful looks at Qin Fen. Since the emergence of this special security detachment, as long as the higher-ups were not pleased with someone and wanted to teach him a lesson, they now no longer needed to look for various excuses or evidence as they did before.
“Go be the special security detachment branch captain!”
With just this sentence, the person would enter the countdown stages of his demotion immediately.
“This is your ID card.” The policewoman handed it to Qin Fen and couldn’t help but whisper, “Be careful.”
Be careful? Qin Fen took the badge and documents and turned to look at the backyard’s corridor. Is this special security detachment really a dragon’s pond and a tiger’s cave?
As he walked out of the front room, Qin Fen found that the backyard was much quieter than the front yard. There were some artificial hills, some green trees, and a small three-story building. According to the information in the document, the special security detachment was on the third floor.
The quiet three-story building didn’t have busy entrances. There was a little dark entrance that merged with the quiet atmosphere, as if a prehistoric monster was opening its mouth quietly while it waited to devour delicious invaders.
“Have you heard? It seems that a new deputy captain will be coming today!”
The sound of the announcement had a hint of expectation and excitement. The police uniform on the chest of this young man was unbuttoned, and in his long hair, a beautiful little braid hung at the back of his head.
“Wu Hui, since you already know, you must have also thought about how to entertain him?”
The man who spoke seemed to be roughly around the age of twenty-two or twenty-three years old and was holding a copy of “Playboy” in his hand. He laid on the sofa as he admired the art.
Wu Hui, who was the first to speak looked up at his partner, “Lin Feng, it is only a small deputy captain. Do we really need to prepare a show for him? Just let him try the usual three things to destroy his arrogance. This will prevent him from being a new broom that sweeps clean.”
Yu Xiao, who was eating instant noodles looked up and shouted in the messy room, “I heard that this deputy captain is extremely young, I don’t think he’s even our age.”
Crack…
The slightly unoiled door hinge made a moan and opened up slowly as the crowd was discussing. The people in the room carried on with what they were doing, as if they didn’t see the door open.
Here, the door opening would usually only mean two things: one was that their food delivery had arrived, and the other would be that the branch captain was here. Usually, no one would ever enter this room. Even if there was an actual matter, they would choose to call rather than entering this room.
God knows how many small mechanisms that were used for pranks were installed in this room. As long as it was a tactic that could be seen in pranking films, it would definitely be found in this special security detachment room.
Whoosh.
What sounded like the air breaking was heard from outside the window opposite to the room door. Lin Feng, who had been lying on the bed threw away his magazine and stared excitedly at the person coming from the door, waiting for the wonderful thing to happen.
Yu Xiao also stopped eating his instant noodles, and his eyes, too, were filled with excitement. Once the two water bags that were filled with red ink were broken, it wouldn’t be an easy thing to wash away the substance that stuck the body.
“Yi?”
Lin Feng, who was lying on the sofa, looked at the young man in the doorway, surprised. The two water bags that would burst with just a slight pressure were actually caught firmly in the other person’s hands, unbroken.
“Beautiful!” Lin Feng, who was lying on the sofa, had no intention of getting up. He applauded slowly, “Such a beautiful soft power of the hands.”
Qin Fen grabbed two water bags and smiled. This method of making traps was too low a level. If the instructors were to see this, they would definitely give them a good scolding.
The people in the room were still doing what they were doing.
The water bags not breaking was not something that had not happened before. If one were to be able to come here as deputy captain, he must have a bit of skill.
Wu Hui was laughing, I had hoped that the person sent from the higher-ups this time was not too sloppy and run without even being played twice. That would’ve been really boring.
Qin Fen walked into the room and evaluated the surroundings quickly. Is this an office? Or is this a children’s toy and trap room? The room that was the size of a conference room only had twenty people, yet there were nearly a hundred kinds of hidden mechanisms?
Qin Fen smiled again. No wonder so many people were casting me pitiful looks during the settling of the procedure. No wonder the young policewoman kindly reminded me to be careful when I got the documents.
Indeed! In this room, if an ordinary person was not careful, although they would not be killed from these mechanisms, they would definitely leave with deep psychological trauma. They would get headaches just by the sight of these people in the future. How would they still dare to manage them?
Qin Fen coughed heavily, “Let me introduce myself, I am called Qin Fen. I am the new deputy captain of the special security detachment.”
The people in the room continued to do whatever they want. Even Lin Feng, who was lying on the sofa, once again picked up “Playboy” and re-entered his study of body art.
Using silence as another display of strength? Qin Fen sighed. Being kicked out of the army was already something that put him in a bad mood. Even if his temporary placement gave him a good income, it was still very uncomfortable to be kicked out.
“I still haven’t found a place to vent this insult. Who knew that such a good place would be offered here?” Qin Fen mumbled a bit, cleared his throat and said, “As policemen, you should have the look of a policeman. I’ll give you five minutes to sort out your personal appearance.”
…
The room was still silent and everyone was still doing what they were doing, as if they didn’t hear the words of Qin Fen.
Appearance? Wu Hui sneered. The first four deputy captains who came forward only gave good words of advice, no one dared to speak so arrogantly like this.
Qin Fen looked at his watch, “There are three more minutes…”
“There are two more minutes…”
“There are nine seconds, eight seconds, seven seconds… time is up!”
At the same time Qin Fen’s voice fell, he took one step straight to Lin Feng’s side. The few traps below his feet were crossed over completely by this ingenious step.
Not waiting for everyone to praise this lucky step, Qin Fen’s right hand reached out directly to grab Lin Feng who was on the sofa.
Making a move? The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twerked. The high-voltage electric rod hidden behind the magazine was raised and pierced directly toward Qin Fen’s spread palm.
Wu Hui smiled. This trick of hiding an electric stick under the newspaper had been well-tested…
The sneer in Qin Fen’s eyes increased as he saw the electric rod. His spread fingers remained unchanged. Dragon Elephant Prajna Art increased to six-star, and his five fingers made a sound that pierced the wind with the flooding of true energy like a big flag that swayed in the wind.
Six-star!
Twenty people in the room were shocked at the same time. This young man who seems less than twenty years old actually has the strength of a six-star?
Lin Feng and Wu Hui’s smiles did not diminish. Even if you are a six-star, under this high-voltage electric rod…
There was a loud explosion in the room, as if the large firecracker specifically used during National Day was released. The electric rod bounced with blue electric sparks and was crushed into pieces. Even the battery inside was crushed by the huge pressure!
Lin Feng only felt the clothes on his chest being grabbed. The huge force lifted him up and suddenly, the surrounding scenery started regressing rapidly as he was thrown through the air!
Not good! Lin Feng’s heart trembled. Wu Hui’s pupils shrank instantly into the size of two needle tips and raised his hand to block the flying Linfeng.
Qin Fen’s grabbed with six-star strength, but his strength had already increased to the peak of six-star by the time he threw. How was such throwing power that was well prepared be something that the rushed five-star Wu Hui could compete with?
The room was instantly filled with noise; people screaming, tables collapsing, and people clamoring.
People who were working on the second floor heard the clamor upstairs and sighed as they shook their heads. With a sound like this, the new deputy captain today was probably going to suffer even more.
The scene of the room was still chaotic. Wu Hui finally stopped retreating after hitting three heavy desks. The tyrannical impact made both his arm and his back sore.
Hua la!
The remaining twenty people in the room stood up all at once.
Silent, still silent.
Under the silent gazes of these young people, there was a fierceness. No one expected that the one who came today would actually use violence.
Qin Fen smiled calmly, What even is this fierceness? Compared to the terrorists and that troop in the Golden Triangle, this was child’s play.
Qin Fen sat on the sofa boldly and uninhibitedly, and the eyes of several young people glowed with an excited expectation.
That’s right! There were also traps on the sofa! Only people who had lived here for a long time knew!
Puff…
Qin Fen sat down and the trap on the sofa did not activate at all. The expectation spark in the eyes of everyone extinguished instantly.
“To sweep clean? I didn’t intend to do that.” Qin Fen put the water bag on the ground, “Now, I am suddenly interested. Sort out your police discipline, wear your police uniforms properly for me.”
The cold words were filled with a sense of savagery. The police officers stared at Qin Fen, surprised. He didn’t give any other admonishing since he came. Every time he opened his mouth, it was only to ask them to wear their clothes properly.
“You haven’t got three minutes…”
Qin Fen’s voice hadn’t even fallen yet and all the police officers sorted out their police uniforms at their fastest speed.
A wise man knows when to retreat, especially if there was no excuse to fight a superior. It was only reasonable for them to wear their police uniforms properly.
“Branch Captain, you are really amazing.” Wu Hui smiled and massaged his waist, “Already having the strength of a six-star at such a young age, your future has no limits.”
Qin Fen looked at Wu Hui quietly. There was a slyness in the eyes of this policeman. These praises were obviously just a foundation, there were other words that would follow.
“Ai! We are much worse in comparison to you.” Wu Hui’s face fell for a while, “I saw your skills earlier, I wonder if we can go over to our martial dao room for you to give us some advice?”
Qin Fen looked at the impulses in the eyes of other police officers who were eager to try. He knew that they were not convinced and wanted to get back to their ground.
In this room of more than twenty people, all of which were meteor level martial artists of the five-star class. According to martial strength measurement for the age of ordinary people, they were definitely a group of people that were at the top in comparison to others at this age.
Convinced? Not convinced? Qin Fen shook his head gently. If they could get along with each other, it wouldn’t matter if they were convinced. However, looking at the eyes of these people, it was obvious that they’ve made pranking the deputy captain their pleasure and goal. The possibility of getting along with each other was almost zero.
Qin Fen sighed. Since we can’t get along, then a fight it is! These people have no viciousness in their eyes, they are only unconvinced. They may be stubborn, but they are not evil like those young masters in Shenyang that would take a life every time they made a move.
These people were just extremely bored and wanted to have some fun, nothing more. This could be seen from Lin Feng’s eyes. Although he was defamed, he was just not convinced. There was no such murderous and hateful intent.
“Sure, I would like to see your strengths too.” Qin Fen twisted his two fists, “As a policeman, martial strength is an indispensable part of our jobs. We are the protectors of the people, we naturally have to strive to improve ourselves.”
“Captain.” Yu Xiao wiped the soup from the instant noodle away from the corner of his mouth, “One against one seems unfair, we are much worse than you.”
“Yeah! Yeah!” The other police officers followed immediately. Their voices were incredibly sincere all of a sudden, as if they had just suffered a huge grievance. Causing a fuss was their expertise.
“Okay then, I shall spar with all of you at the same time, how about that?”
…
The lively room went quiet in an instant, and more than twenty people stared at Qin Fen blankly. One against twenty-two? Is his brain burnt out? Even if he was a six-star martial artist, this was impossible.
“You… are you sure…?” Wu Hui started to wonder if his ears some problems.
“Sure.” Qin Fen smiled, “But just sparring is too boring. How about we gamble?”
Gamble? The eyes of Wu Hui and others lit up instantly. It seems that this new deputy captain has a common hobby with all of us.
“What are we gambling?” Lin Feng was even more interested.
Qin Fen touched his chin, and a smile appeared slowly in the corner of his mouth and his eyes, “How about this, we also spar on other police skills? For example, shooting?”
Yu Xiao smiled. Everyone looked at Yu Xiao and laughed. Although this special security detachment all seemed to be incredibly playful, in terms of real skills, almost everyone had a field they expertized in.
Yu Xiao’s gun was not only first in the special security detachment, it was also first even in the city bureau! People gave him the nickname “Little Gun King”!
Gun sparring? How can Yu Xiao not be happy? He looked at the web area between Qin Fen’s thumb and index finger that was smooth and had no trace of calluses. He was apparently not a long-term gunman.
Yu Xiao then looked at the web area between his thumb and index finger that had picked up calluses. A web area between the thumb and index finger that had calluses did not necessarily mean that one was a gun master, but a web without calluses definitely meant that one was not a gun master!
“Like this.” Qin Fen once again proposed, “If I lose, I will leave immediately. But if you lose, what then?”
Lin Feng smiled and looked at Qin Fen, “Why? Want us to worship you as Old Boss?”
“Old Boss?” Qin Fen shook his finger, “If I win, you must obey me unconditionally for seven days. After seven days, you can challenge me again. If you win, I will leave on the spot. If I win, you will obey me for seven more days. After seven days, if you dare not challenge me, you will continue to listen to my orders unconditionally.”
A burst of laughter sounded out from the window of the third floor. The policemen on the second floor looked up strangely again. What strange thing is happening on the third floor? Could it be that the new deputy captain has been stripped naked by those people? This couldn’t be! The last deputy captain had already been played like this by them.
“Captain.” Lin Feng said while pressing his stomach that hurt from laughing, “If you lose, we don’t need you to leave immediately, you only need to listen to our orders unconditionally for seven days.”
Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders indifferently, “That works too.”
Lin Feng came to a sudden realization, How is this new captain’s smile so confident? Plus in his confident smile, how was there still a trace of bad feelings?
Wu Hui walked out of the room while he massaged his slightly aching waist, “Captain, this way.”
The martial dao room of Tianbei Police Station was not considered luxurious. Strictly speaking, it was an incredibly ordinary martial dao room.
The huge cotton mat covered the floor of the two basketball court-sized room, and the four walls of the room were painted with ordinary latex paint.
Several police officers who were practicing in the room stopped their activities immediately as they saw these policemen. They looked curiously at these nitpicky policemen of the special security detachment who rarely ever appeared here.
The twenty-two people entered the room and moved their hands and feet quickly, doing their warm-ups as fast as possible. They adjusted their combat status, and forty-four eyes were filled with a light of confidence. Even if you were a six-star martial artist, you still would not be able to beat twenty-two five-star martial artists at the same time.
Qin Fen stepped into the battlefield and the cotton mat under his feet sank instantly. This level of softness was way higher than tatami. It was too hard for the weight of four thousand catty on his body to leave no trace.
“Captain.” Wu Hui said with a smile, “Aren’t you getting ready?”
“Of course I have to get ready.” Qin Fen smiled, took off the seemingly soft wristband, and threw it onto the cotton mat.
Boom!
The dull voice echoed in the quiet hall, and all the policemen were stunned at the same time. This sounded really heavy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two wristbands and two ankle bands.
The faces of the nitpicky policemen of the special security detachment had all changed. Wu Hui then went forward to pick up a wristband, and the change on his face was even more dramatic.
All these added up… Wu Hui mouth cracked, This probably has the weight of five hundred catty, right?
Boom!
The heavy lead suit of Qin Fen’s upper body was thrown to the ground, and the sound of the weight that hit the ground gave everyone’s chills.
“Hold on, everyone.” Qin Fen smiled as he took off his belt, “The heavy lead on my body is four thousand catty, and there is still a pair of pants that have not been taken off.”
…
Wu Hui realized that the faces of his other twenty-one companions were all green.
Four thousand catty! Looking at his flexible movements, he was wearing four thousand catty of weight? So how strong is his total strength? How fast will the tyrannical force push his body? If a punch were to hit their bodies…
Silence, the room was filled with absolute silence. Even if a needle were to drop on the cotton mat, it could be heard clearly.
“Captain…” Lin Feng raised his hand slowly and broke the silence in the martial dao room, “We admit defeat in this game.”
The other twenty-one special security detachments policemen nodded . There was no way to fight! The opponent obviously did not just have the strength of a six-star. Plus, with his bt-level power, even if twenty-two of them went together, it was probably still not enough to beat him.
