Espionage: You're tasked with spying, but you'll blow up the Special Higher Police?

"Hey! What are you doing? Do you know where you are? Daring to cause trouble here, do you all have a death wish? Let go of me!"

It took a while for the police officers from the First Precinct to react. They searched everywhere for people and even called their chief. The two sides clashed, creating an extremely chaotic scene that even attracted many onlookers who stopped outside the police station to watch and point.

The head of the First Branch Bureau was named Ren Minsheng. He was an old policeman who was about to retire. He didn't have any connections and just wanted to retire safely. He was the kind of soft-hearted person who didn't seek merit but only wanted to avoid mistakes.

No matter how weak he was, he was still the police chief. At this moment, he led his men to gather around, pushed the police officers from the Second Precinct back, and even fired a shot at the ceiling.

"boom!"

The gunshot rang out, punching a hole in the ceiling, and some wood chips rained down, hitting the chief on the head.

Director Ren shook his head, looked at the crowded hall, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Do you know what you're doing?"

Zhou Hongyi straightened his clothes and snorted coldly, "Director Ren, I'm sorry, the matter was urgent and I didn't have time to inform you. But Ma Zhixin deserves his punishment. He colluded with rebels, sold intelligence, and deliberately beat up police officers from my Second Branch. His heart is wicked and his crimes are unforgivable! Today I'm here to arrest him. It has nothing to do with the other brothers. Please don't interfere with our official business, Director Ren."

"What? Ma Zhixin colluded with rebels? Sold intelligence? You...who are you?"

Xu Guodong squeezed to the side and said with a smile, "Director Ren, this is Zhou Hongyi, the leader of our Second Branch Special Operations Team."

"What? He's both a team leader and a bureau chief? What exactly is his position?"

The old bureau chief was completely bewildered, his mind a jumbled mess. Zhou Hongyi, however, gave him no time to think, shouting, "Guards! Take Ma Zhixin back and torture him severely! Until he confesses his crimes and his accomplices!"

"Yes!"

Xu Guodong shouted and gave Wang Shun a look. The two of them stepped forward to take away Ma Zhixin, who was curled up there groaning in pain with his face covered in blood.

Director Ren then realized what was happening and raised his gun, saying, "Don't move! I'm the director here. How could I not know there are rebels under my command? Even if there are rebels, it's not your Second Branch's place to interfere. Aren't you overstepping your bounds? Don't you respect me as the director? Where's Lao Feng? Why isn't Feng Jinxiong here?!"

Zhou Hongyi sneered, looked around, and said, "This little matter is not worth our Director Feng's involvement. Director Ren, I hope you will not interfere with official business. Today's arrest is not only our Second Branch, but also a joint operation with 76."

"Huh? How did this get involved with No. 76?"

Before Director Ren could react, several agents in trench coats squeezed out of the crowd and flashed their work badges in front of him.

"Ren Minsheng, we have received intelligence that Ma Zhixin is suspected of colluding with rebels and must be detained immediately. If you have any questions, you can contact our Director Ding. We are about to take him away now. Anyone who obstructs us will be considered an accomplice!"

"Director... Director Ren, I'm innocent... I'm innocent! How could I possibly collude with rebels? They're just settling personal scores, settling personal scores! Help me!"

Ma Zhixin was dragged up from the ground, his mouth full of blood. He looked at his bureau chief and howled, constantly shouting that he was innocent.

Seeing this, Xu Guodong gripped his baton and thrust it forcefully into Ma Zhixin's lower back. The blow made Ma Zhixin gasp and fall silent.

Zhou Hongyi stood there with a cold face, his gaze sweeping over all the police officers in the First Precinct. Although these people looked resentful, none of them dared to make eye contact with him.

"My name is Zhou Hongyi, the leader of the Special Operations Group of the Second Branch Bureau, with the rank of deputy director. I am also an operative at the 76th Special Agent Headquarters! If anyone is dissatisfied, feel free to come to the Second Branch Bureau to reason with me. I, Zhou Hongyi, am a reasonable person. As long as you can convince me to provide evidence, I will release the person. If you cannot convince me or provide evidence... then I'm sorry, I will treat you as an accomplice of the rebels and dismiss you!"

Police from the Second Precinct came and went in droves, leaving behind a group of bewildered officers from the First Precinct and their soon-to-retire chief standing there in disarray.

"What...what's going on? Can anyone explain this to me?!"

Director Ren looked at the mess in his office and the police officer lying on the floor groaning in pain. He was so angry that his high blood pressure flared up, but he was helpless.

Zhou Hongyi made quite a splash on this trip. Halfway there, they dropped off the brothers from No. 76 who had helped them and stuffed red envelopes into their hands before heading back to the Second Branch Bureau. Under the somewhat stunned gaze of Director Feng, they returned to their respective posts.

Zhou Hongyi looked at everyone, raised his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Brothers, I, Zhou Hongyi, will remember everything that happened today. The brothers of our Second Division are all outstanding! Tomorrow, each of you will receive a package of three artillery pieces, all in place! And those brothers who got into a fight will each receive a red envelope, I will not go back on my word! If I need your help in the future, I, Zhou Hongyi, thank you all here!"

The police officers from the Second Precinct were also very excited. Even though they hadn't received any red envelopes or cigarettes yet, the feeling of triumph they had just experienced was quite exhilarating.

"Young Master Zhou, why are you being so polite? Since we're all from the same police station, we must stand together no matter who gets into trouble, right, brothers? Besides, Young Master Zhou's business is all our business, don't you all agree?"

"Yes~ that's right~!"

Zhou Hongyi clasped his hands in thanks again and said, "Thank you all once more. Throw the man we just captured into the dungeon and let him hang out for two days before we talk about him."

Only after Zhou Hongyi finished speaking did Director Feng find an opportunity to interject, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Um... Zhongliang, come with me for a moment."

Zhou Hongyi raised his hand to signal everyone to return to normal work. Those who were supposed to patrol, patrolled; those who were supposed to slack off, slack off. He then followed Director Feng into his office and locked the door behind him.

Feng Jinxiong frowned, sighed heavily, and turned around to speak, but Zhou Hongyi grabbed his outstretched hand first, smiling broadly, "Director Feng, I've been with our bureau for a while now, and all the brothers in our Second Branch have taken good care of me, especially you. Not only did you prepare a new office for me, but you also applied for the position of deputy director for me. I told my brother-in-law about this, and he asked me to convey his gratitude, saying that he would definitely remember Director Feng's care."

Feng Jinxiong was taken aback. He looked down and felt that Zhou Hongyi had stuffed something into his hand. The touch was very familiar, and it seemed to be his favorite golden leaf yellow croaker.

“Well… Zhongliang, now that you’ve joined our Second Branch, you’re one of my men, Feng Jinxiong’s man. I’ll naturally take care of you in everything, it’s my duty! Director Ding, you’re being too formal, hehehe~~ Come, come, sit down.”

Director Feng deftly slipped the gold leaf from his palm into his pocket, forgetting the question he had originally intended to ask.

He went around behind the desk with a big smile and said, "How has Director Ding been lately? Please tell him to make sure he gets some rest. It's important to be busy with work, but health is the most important thing. I have a box of fine tea here. Please give it to Director Ding for me."

As Director Feng spoke, he took a packet of tea from the drawer, placed it on the table, and pushed it forward.
