<h4>Chapter 638: Chapter 637, Staying at Your ce</h4>
"WTF!"
"How is this woman so fierce?"
Xu Wendong looked at Shen Shiwu in disbelief, never expecting her to be so fierce. Her disposition didn’t resemble a woman’s at all!
She was even more badass than most men.
Especially with that beer keg in her hand.
Even though some of the beer had been drunk, it still weighed over ten pounds.
A beer keg weighing over ten pounds seemed as light as a feather in her hands, and this made Xu Wendong admire Shen Shiwu with newfound respect.
No time to think.
He immediately joined the fray.
As a man, there was no way he could just watch as Shen Shiwu fought bravely for him.
There was no way he could hide behind a woman and do nothing.
Shen Shiwu’s situation was initially terrible, even though she practiced jujitsu. But as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands.
But with Xu Wendong joining the fight.
She suddenly had a much easier time, swinging her beer keg around. Wherever it went, someone would scream and roll away.
Xu Wendong was even fiercer than her, taking down an extra with a single punch.
Just when the two were thoroughly enjoying the fight, the sound of a police siren red from afar.
Arge-scale street fight in the downtown area would definitely prompt a concerned citizen to call the police, especially since Haicheng was currently cracking down on crime syndicates.
"Retreat quickly!" The lead middle-aged man, his eyes cold, immediately called his underlings and disappeared into the night market in a hurry.
They didn’t dare linger here.
If caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.
By the time the police arrived, the ce was already in chaos.
"Yo, Director Xu? Are you alright?"
The new Director of Public Security, Ma Kai, had seen Xu Wendong at a meeting before and was quite surprised to see him here.
He didn’t expect Xu Wendong to get into a conflict with those thugs.
Luckily, he wasn’t injured.
Otherwise.
As the new Director of Public Security, he would have definitely been penalized.
Indeed, having just seeded Qin Chu Nian, many people looked down on him, thinking hecked the capability. If anything had happened to Xu Wendong,
this incident would undoubtedly be blown out of proportion.
By then, not only would he be punished, but Vice Mayor Wang, who promoted him, would likely also get implicated.
"Thank goodness Director Ma arrived in time. If you’d been a bitter, I might have been hurt!" Xu Wendongughed, "Director Ma, care to join us for a bite?"
Ma Kai took off his police uniform, removed his hat, handed them to his driver, and sat down casually.
He sat down as an ordinary person.
He knew.
Xu Wendong wouldn’t invite him to dinner for no reason.
It seemed casual,
but there was definitely a purpose behind it.
"The Eight Dragons Hall is really untouchable?" Xu Wendong said bluntly, knowing Ma Kai was Wang Jun’s man and could be trusted.
Wang Jun shook his head, "If I could take action, how could I have left them alone?"
"The Eight Dragons Hall acts with extreme caution. I had people raid all their entertainment businesses, but it waspletely useless. Whether it’s foot massage parlors, nightclubs, or bathhouses, they’re all legally operating, and there’s not a shred of evidence against them."
Xu Wendong’s gaze was profound, "Don’t worry about it. Wait for my call. I’ll find a way to help you remove this cancer."
The threat of the Eight Dragons Hall in Haicheng was too great.
It had to be removed as soon as possible.
"Then I’ll wait for your call." Ma Kai was very excited.
Even though he was now the Director of Public Security, he found it hard to win everyone’s trust, given that he hadn’t aplished anything persuasive.
But if he could destroy the Eight Dragons Hall,
it would cement his position in Haicheng’s politicalndscape.
------
In a luxurious vi.
Jiang Yuanbo was furious, "Get that bastard Jiang Cheng to see me now, immediately, right now!"
As the first vice mayor of Haicheng, his connections were intimidating.
Just moments ago, he received information that members of the Eight Dragons Hall hadmitted a street attack.
Committing violence on the streets during this critical period was infuriating in its own right.
Moreover,
the target of the Eight Dragons Hall’s attack was Xu Wendong.
This further enraged him.
Jiang Cheng arrived quickly.
The moment he entered the vi, Jiang Yuanbo greeted him with a tirade of curses and berating.
He shouted furiously, "I painstakingly handed Xu Wendong a political achievement, finally stabilized him, and just when he’s about to be transferred from Haicheng, why did your people provoke him?"
"Don’t you know he’s like a mad dog?"
Jiang Yuanbo was truly furious.
He had been keeping a close eye on Xu Wendong, and felt much more rxed after learning he hadn’t gone to Jiang Family Vige.
After all, the secrets of Jiang Family Vige were not for outsiders to see.
If the secrets of Jiang Family Vige were discovered, they would all be doomed.
Yet, to his utter surprise,
the Eight Dragons Hall went and provoked Xu Wendong.
If it led to Xu Wendong targeting the Eight Dragons Hall, they would certainly be in big trouble.
"Uncle, I really don’t know!" Jiang Cheng felt deeply wronged, "But don’t worry, I’ll definitely instruct my men to stay away from Xu Wendong and absolutely not provoke him."
Jiang Yuanbo snorted coldly, "You better, or if Xu Wendong really targets the Eight Dragons Hall, you might as well serve yourself as atonement!"
"Yes!"
------
After dinner.
Shen Shiwu and Xu Wendong strolled under Haicheng’s night sky.
Out of the blue, Shen Shiwu asked, "Why are you helping the public security bureau to eliminate the Eight Dragons Hall? Does it have anything to do with my dad’s case?"
Xu Wendong shook his head slightly, "Although there’s no direct connection, the Eight Dragons Hall is like a cancer, and removing it is not a bad thing for Haicheng."
"Getting rid of them might be very difficult!" Shen Shiwu, having lived her whole life in Haicheng, knew how terrifyingly influential the Eight Dragons Hall was.
Xu Wendong gave a faint smile, "Hard things are the ones worth the challenge!"
Shen Shiwu shrugged in acknowledgment, "True enough."
After a pause,
she said, "Are you nning to walk me to your ce?"
Xu Wendong was a bit dazed, "No... Did I ever say I’d take you to my ce?"
Shen Shiwu sighed helplessly, "My dad doesn’t like me drinking. Last night, I got a scolding when I got home. If I go back now, I’d definitely get scolded again!"
"So, if not your ce, then where can I go?"
Xu Wendong naturally replied, "You could book a hotel room!"
"Staying in a hotel would be a waste of money, wouldn’t it?" Shen Shiwu rolled her eyes at Xu Wendong, then added, "What’s this, are you really against me staying over at your ce?"
"Come on, I’m the girl who fought for you earlier, would you really let a delicatedy like me stay at a hotel?"
"What if the Eight Dragons Hall people follow and try to do something bad to me? That’d be like amb walking into a lion’s den!"
"Fine, fine, I’ll take you home, alright!" Xu Wendong, knowing he wasn’t a match for Shen Shiwu, agreed to her proposal to stay at his ce.
He took out his phone and hailed a cab using a ride-sharing app.
And at this moment,
a mischievous grin appeared on Shen Shiwu’s face, "Do you n on doing something to me when I fall asleep?"
