Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Although Zhou Qingfeng rode his horse through the long street, charging recklessly and making a great show of force, appearing somewhat arrogant, everyone around him secretly envied him. There was nothing wrong with being a servant; at least he was a servant of the city lord.

Once you leave the mansion, you're a superior person, and everyone will give you face.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Qingfeng rode his horse all the way to the Bisheng Casino.

"Surround the gambling den! Don't let a single person escape!" Zhou Qingfeng commanded from his horse.

The subordinates immediately surrounded the Bisheng Casino, blocking both the main entrance and the back door completely.

The informant who remained on duty immediately stepped forward to report: "Jin Xiaoqi, the person is still at the gambling den. I've been keeping an eye on him."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wei turned to Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Commander-in-Chief, what should we do next?"

Zhou Qingfeng sat firmly on his horse and said coldly, "Wait!"

Zhou Qingfeng had his reasons for not rushing into the gambling den; he was leaving himself some room to maneuver.

Firstly, the gambling den has powerful backers, and barging in to arrest people could easily offend those behind the scenes.

Secondly, those who run gambling dens have always been vicious and ruthless. If someone were to go in and arrest people, in the chaos, they might be attacked from the shadows and could easily be killed.

Now that the gambling den is surrounded, the suspects can't escape. We just need to surround it with heavy troops and put pressure on them. The people in the gambling den will definitely reveal their trump cards to get out of the predicament. Only when the people in the gambling den reveal their trump cards will we know what the other party is relying on.

At that time, the decision to advance or retreat will be made based on the situation, and the initiative will be in our own hands.

Inside the Victory Casino, many of the underlings peeked through the black curtain at the entrance and were nearly scared to death: "My god, the Night Wanderers have come out in full force!"

"Quick, go report to Boss Xi, things seem to have gotten out of hand."

The underling ran off in a panic to find the boss in the back vault.

Inside the vault, the dark-faced man smiled and said, "Boss Xi, thank you so much for saving me. Without your protection today, I was afraid I would have been arrested by the Night Patrol. I am deeply grateful and will repay you in the future."

There was a large amount of money on the table in front of Boss Xi. He casually grabbed a handful and played with it: "You can run away from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. You might as well go to the Night Patrol Bureau. Anyway, they have no evidence. You just need to keep your mouth shut."

The dark-faced man's expression changed: "Boss Xi, we are half-brothers! How can you push me into a fire pit? If I go into the Night Patrol Division, how can I come out unscathed? I can't withstand severe torture."

The eldest brother sneered, "Look at your cowardly appearance. You should lay low for a while. I'll arrange for you to leave the city and rest in a manor in the countryside for a while. Don't come back unless necessary."

Upon hearing this, the dark-faced man chuckled and said, "Alright then. Although the food and drink on the estate are a bit meager, there are women too. Hehehe, with women, I can go anywhere."

The leader pointed at the black-faced man's mouth: "I'm warning you, watch your mouth. The lives of all our brothers and sisters are in your hands. Don't talk nonsense with women, or I'll be the first to kill you."

At this moment, the henchman rushed into the vault: "Boss, the Night Watchers have surrounded our gambling den with their entire force."

Upon hearing this, Boss Xi's expression changed slightly: "So fast?"

The man with the dark face was so frightened that he slid off the chair and onto the floor, exclaiming, "It's over, it's all over!"

"Damn it, this is never going to end!" Boss Xi's face was grim. He got up and walked out, but halfway there, he told his underling, "You keep an eye on Blackface for me, don't let this guy run around."

Boss Xi quickly led his many fierce-looking henchmen out of the gambling den. After scanning the area, he saw a young man in blue brocade robes sitting steadily on a tall horse in front of him. He recognized the man at a glance.

The uniforms of the Night Patrol Division officers were clearly divided into ranks: strongmen wore black, junior officers wore red, and senior officers wore blue.

The man in front of me is clearly Zhou Qingfeng, the new commander-in-chief that Jin Wei mentioned.

"I am Xi Laide, the leader of the Wild Dog Gang. This gambling den is mine. I am honored by the presence of Commander Zhou. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. I wonder what your purpose is in surrounding my gambling den with your men?" Boss Xi said, raising his head and bowing with his hands clasped, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhou Qingfeng looked down at Boss Xi with indifference: "This commander is supervising a major case. The suspect, Black Face, fled to the Bisheng Casino. This commander has led men to apprehend him. Now I suspect you of harboring a suspect. Hand him over immediately."

The leader smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief, you're joking. Who's Black Face? I've never heard of him. You must have come to the wrong place."

Seeing that Boss Xi was unwilling to reveal his hand, Zhou Qingfeng decided to force the issue: "Go in and search."

Upon hearing this, the numerous black-clad warriors immediately stepped forward and rushed inside.

"Stop!" Boss Xi shouted sternly, and his henchmen blocked the path of the black-clad warriors.

Remembering Zhou Qingfeng's words, the black-clad warriors drew their swords and killed anyone who resisted or refused to cooperate. As a result, they all drew their swords in unison, scaring the Wild Dog Gang members into taking a half-step back.

Boss Xi hurriedly looked at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Chief Zhou, I have something to say."

Zhou Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, waiting for Boss Xi to say this, and then said calmly, "Speak."

The eldest brother looked around, leaned closer and whispered, "I have long admired your name, Commander, but I have never had the opportunity to show my respect. Since you are so kind today, I am willing to offer you 100,000 coins as a token of my respect."

Zhou Qingfeng narrowed his eyes: "That's it?"

Boss Xi thought Zhou Qingfeng thought it was too little, so he gritted his teeth and added another sum: "Two hundred thousand coins, this is really the limit I can come up with, any more than that is truly not enough."

Zhou Qingfeng sneered. Two hundred thousand yuan was tempting, but he would not accept such a one-off bribe, much less accept it himself, for fear that if he did, the other party would turn against him and report him on the spot.

"I've long heard that the Victory Casino has someone backing it up. I don't want to hurt my own people, but if you try to cheat me again and cause a disaster, don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Anyone with a brain can understand this; you'd better hurry up and reveal your backing.

Boss Xi's smile remained unchanged as he spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Chief Zhou, look at what you're saying, those are all rumors. Our Bisheng Gambling House would actually like to have a powerful backer."

"If you're willing, you'll be my supporter from now on, and I'll make sure you receive my monthly allowance."

Zhou Qingfeng chuckled repeatedly, thinking to himself, "What a cunning fellow. He doesn't reveal his trump card, so I have to be wary of him. He even wants to drag me into this mess. If it were an ordinary person, they might have just quit while they were ahead."

However, even though I've pushed him to this point, I still won't reveal my hand.

Either they have no one behind them and are just bluffing, or even if they bring out their backers, it won't help.

Then... there's nothing to worry about anymore.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qingfeng regained his composure: "This commander is incorruptible, greedy and uncompensated, and only serves the city lord. If you want to bribe me, you've chosen the wrong person. Men, search me!"

The boss's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Let's see who dares! Our gambling den is a legitimate business. We pay taxes in full every month and are protected by the laws of Sword Tower City. Without a search warrant, even the Night Patrol has no right to search my gambling den!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Night Patrol Division exchanged glances, no longer daring to act recklessly.

Because even when enforcing the law, they cannot break the law in public, otherwise they will be subject to punishment.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at it and sneered, "You want a search warrant? Here you go!"

Having said that, he dismounted and reached out, saying, "Bring me paper and pen."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wei immediately dismounted and took out paper and pen from his pocket, handing them over.

Zhou Qingfeng immediately scribbled the words "search warrant" on a piece of paper and handed it to Boss Xi: "Here's the search warrant you wanted, take it."

"You...are arrogant!"
