"Enough nonsense! We received a report that you're harboring Huang Feipeng. If you know what's good for you, hand him over right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!" The square-faced man had clearly lost his patience. With a wave of his hand, several anti-corruption officers behind him immediately stepped forward, preparing to conduct a forced search.

"Let's see who dares!" Cheng Du roared, blocking his brothers behind him. "Anyone who dares to move will be met with a slap!"

"Chengdu, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" The square-faced man's face was ashen. "You're obstructing official business. Do you know the consequences?"

"Obstructing official business? Hahaha..." Cheng Du burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "I'm telling you right now, Huang Feipeng, I've never even seen him before! Believe it or not, search all you want, but I'm telling you, if you can't find anything, I'll sue you for defamation!"

"You..." The square-faced man turned pale with anger at Cheng Du's words, but knowing Cheng Du's background, he didn't dare to actually use force against him. For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate.

"Boss, what should we do?" an anti-corruption officer asked in a low voice, his tone tinged with anxiety.

The square-faced man frowned, his gaze sweeping over Cheng Du and the others, trying to find a clue in their expressions. He knew that Huang Feipeng and Cheng Du had a close relationship, and that Cheng Du and the others were definitely involved in Huang Feipeng's sudden disappearance.

The atmosphere in the warehouse was frozen solid. The square-faced man and Cheng Du faced off, neither willing to back down. The anti-corruption bureau officers stood firmly in their positions, hands on their hips, ready to respond to any unexpected situation. On Cheng Du's side, several plainclothes police officers were also on high alert, their hands already on the holsters at their waists.

At that moment, a thin police officer who had been silently observing the sea suddenly exclaimed, "Captain Wu, boats! Several boats are coming this way!"

Cheng Du frowned, strode to the door, and squinted at the distance. At the horizon, several dark figures were cutting through the waves at incredible speed; they were clearly not ordinary cargo ships.

"Damn it, are these anti-corruption officials mad dogs? Are they really going to fight to the death?!" Cheng Du cursed under his breath, his heart pounding with anxiety. He turned to look at the square-faced man and found that he also looked grave, clearly not expecting this turn of events.

The air in the warehouse seemed to have been sucked out; everyone held their breath, nervously watching the approaching fleet.

Cheng Du's trusted confidant stood behind him, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He knew that, at this rate, Young Master Huang would arrive at the dock in ten minutes. If they were caught red-handed by these anti-corruption bureau officers, he would be in deep trouble. If anything happened to Young Master Huang, Wu Li would be doomed.

"Boss, what should we do? Maybe..." Wu Li leaned close to Cheng Du's ear and whispered a few words, while gesturing a "charge" motion with his hand.

A ruthless glint flashed in Cheng Du's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. This was in Handong, and to fight like this in front of so many anti-corruption bureau officers would mean he could forget about working in the police force afterwards.

...Everyone held their breath; the warehouse was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed, each crash pounding on everyone's nerves.

Just then, an untimely voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere in the warehouse.

"Captain Cheng, your phone seems to be ringing..." The speaker was a young police officer named Cheng Wu, a distant relative of Cheng Du. He had just been recruited this year and hadn't experienced any major events yet, so his face looked a little pale.

"Are you stupid? Why are you answering the phone at a time like this! Do you want to die?!" an old policeman next to him muttered, reaching out to snatch Cheng Wu's phone.

Cheng Wu shuddered in fright, instinctively clutching his phone to his chest, and stammered, "But...but..."

"But what?! Hang up the phone right now! If you alert those guys outside, I'll..."

Before the old policeman could finish speaking, Cheng Du interrupted him. Cheng Du stared at Cheng Wu, his eyes slightly narrowed, and asked, "Who called?"

Cheng Wu's hands trembled as he took out his phone. He glanced at the screen, his face turning even paler, and his voice became barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz: "It's...it's Huang, Huang..."

"What do you mean 'yellow'?! Can't you speak properly?!" the old policeman shouted impatiently.

“It’s Young Master Huang…” Cheng Wu took a deep breath and finally finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Cheng Wu, with the anti-corruption bureau personnel especially overjoyed and staring intently at him.

Cheng Wu realized he had misspoke, and Cheng Du quickly gave Cheng Du and the others a look. Wu Li and the others hurriedly surrounded the people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Cheng Du took a deep breath, thinking that if things couldn't be done, he would have to take action.

"Hey, Young Master Huang, this is Cheng Wu. Where are you now?" Cheng Wu asked cautiously, lowering his voice, while secretly glancing at the anti-corruption bureau personnel around him. He noticed that although they were under control, their eyes were gleaming with a dangerous light.

Huang Feipeng's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm near the dock. How's the situation on your end? Have those people given you any trouble?"

"No, no..." Cheng Wu quickly denied, but his voice trembled involuntarily. "Everything is fine here, you don't need to worry..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderclap rang in his ears.

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me right now, where is Huang Feipeng?!" The square-faced man grabbed Cheng Du's collar and threatened him fiercely, "You better be smart and not refuse to listen to reason!"

Cheng Wu was so frightened by the square-faced man that his face turned pale, he almost dropped his phone, and he stammered, unable to speak.

"Are you fucking deaf? I'm asking you a question!" The square-faced man became even more arrogant when he saw that Cheng Du didn't speak, and raised his hand to hit him.

"Stop!" Cheng Du roared, shoving the square-faced man away. "What the hell do you think you're doing?! This isn't a place for you to run wild!"

"Chengdu, don't think I'm afraid of you! Let me tell you, I'm just following orders. If you dare to obstruct official business, I'll arrest you too!" The square-faced man was pushed by Chengdu and stumbled, almost falling to the ground. He was immediately enraged and pointed at Chengdu's nose, cursing loudly.

"Pah! Who the hell do you think you are, talking to my brother like that?!" A burly man behind Cheng Du stepped forward, pointing at the square-faced man's nose and cursing, "Get the hell out of here! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"You f***..." The square-faced man was about to say something when he was pulled back by an anti-corruption officer behind him.
