How do you teach as a gang leader?

A vast and mighty crowd passed through the marketplace.

The common folk lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.

"Master Lin."

When some of the people saw Lin Fan, dressed in officer's attire, carrying a silver staff, and with a saber at his waist, their eyes lit up. They grabbed the fruit they were selling and rushed forward with warm gratitude.

"Master Lin, please have a pear. I grew this myself."

He couldn't bear to refuse the goodwill of the common folk.

"Thank you."

Originally, they were terrified when members of the Gang appeared, but now, seeing Lin Fan, they were no longer afraid. Who didn't know that their Master Lin was upright and just? Not only was He Sen of the Loyalty Hall arrested and paraded through the streets, but even Headman Chen, who tried to intervene, was beaten to a pulp with a single punch.

The common folk's thoughts were simple.

Whoever treated them well was a good person.

Wang Changhai watched Lin Fan, surrounded by the common folk and being constantly fed, and felt a strange sensation. He recalled what his wife had told him: "You've got a golden phoenix landing in a chicken coop."

It seemed to be true now.

"Master Lin, thank you." Madam Li, who had been targeted by Jin Biao, didn't have much to offer, but she approached with a flatbread, full of gratitude. If it weren't for Master Lin here, who was different from other officers, she couldn't imagine what her fate would have been or what kind of revenge she would have suffered.

After speaking, she was about to kneel before Lin Fan.

"There's no need for such a grand gesture. As a member of the Security Bureau, it is my duty to protect every ordinary citizen." Lin Fan supported her and said, "Don't worry, Jin Biao and his gang won't get out. During the subsequent interrogations, they were found to be involved in several murder cases and will be severely punished."

The common folk pricked up their ears, surprised to learn that murder cases were involved.

Lin Fan looked around and coughed a few times, saying, "My dear villagers, live your lives well and don't be afraid of being bullied. If any ruffians come to bully you again and I'm not around, just bear with it for a moment. Come to the Security Bureau afterward and find me, and I will resolve it for you."

The crowd erupted.

"Master Lin is just."

"Master Lin is the righteous official in the hearts of us common folk."

"Heh, with a good officer like Master Lin, we ordinary people can live our lives in peace."

He accepted all the praise from the common folk, and his actions backed it up. Wasn't it normal to be praised by the people?

He was determined to make progress while standing firm.

The brothers at Jili Pier saw their Brother Lin being so beloved by the common folk, and their hearts burned with pride. Even without receiving any praise themselves, they held their heads high, feeling as though they had gained glory by association.

Wu Yong and Qian Tao clenched their fists.

They would follow Brother Lin's lead in all things.

In the past, the Hall Master's words carried the most weight, but that idea had quietly changed. Now, their Brother Lin's words were the most important.

Lin Fan raised his hand high, clasped his fists, and left the marketplace.

The common folk watched him go. In their eyes, Master Lin's back was incredibly tall, like a mighty mountain.

Not long after, he arrived at the headquarters of the Loyalty Hall. Upon arrival, he saw many members of the Loyalty Hall standing outside, all standing rigidly at attention.

Suddenly, their gazes all shifted to Lin Fan.

"Hall Master, are they trying to give me a show of force?" Lin Fan chuckled.

He didn't pay attention to such a display.

However, from the eyes of these subordinates, he seemed to see some admiration.

To these young men, Lin Fan's reputation was like thunder. Those few incidents were truly earth-shattering, and they would often discuss them when they had nothing else to do.

Fighting eighteen men alone.

Dozens of people in the shantytown were beaten until they cried out in pain, and even Yuan Jiang was beaten to a pulp.

It wasn't just women who admired strength; men did too.

Especially someone as terrifyingly strong as Lin Fan.

The council hall.

The high-ranking members of the Loyalty Hall were all present. Sitting in the main seat, a grand armchair, was a man with hair streaked with black and white, the Gang Leader of the Loyalty Hall, Chen Qingshan.

Below him were three Hall Masters.

One, with a single eye covered by an eyepatch, sat calmly, eyes closed, resting.

One, who was obese, disheveled, and slovenly, had taken off his shoes and placed his feet on the chair, vigorously scratching between his toes.

The last one, with darker skin and a sturdy build, held a dagger, remained silent, head bowed, diligently picking dirt from under his fingernails.

"Scratchy, what do you think this place is? Scratching all day long, filling the room with a strange smell." Chen Qingshan was in a foul mood. He hadn't expected so many things to happen within the Gang. Seeing Huang Wei's blatant disregard, he was furious.

Huang Wei looked completely unconcerned and even a little wronged. "Gang Leader, I'm itchy."

He continued to scratch between his toes.

The Hall Master with the eyepatch said, "Gang Leader, this kid is one of Wang Changhai's men and is now an officer in the Security Bureau. He apprehended He Sen, which is a direct insult to us. If we can't reach an agreement today, I don't think he'll be leaving here."

Huang Wei looked up, "He's a really good fighter."

The Hall Master, whose skin was a bit darker, sneered, "So what if he's a good fighter? As long as he's human, that's all that matters. We all got to where we are by risking our lives. What kind of people haven't we seen?"

Inside the meeting hall, they went back and forth, but the ultimate message was clear: they had to make this guy release He Sen.

Chen Qingshan didn't say anything, but his expression showed he was very unhappy.

At this moment.

Footsteps could be heard from outside.

Instantly, all eyes were drawn to the entrance.

Lin Fan and Wang Changhai entered the hall, while their brothers waited outside.

As soon as they entered, Huang Wei said sarcastically, "Well, well, look who it is. Why has our Mr. Flatterer brought so many people here? Are you up to something?"

Wang Changhai glared hatefully at Huang Wei. Just as he was thinking of introducing Lin Fan to the Gang Leader, Lin Fan unexpectedly found an empty seat, placed his silver staff on the coffee table, and plopped down. He glanced at everyone in the room before fixing his gaze on Chen Qingshan, who was seated there.

"My time is valuable. I don't have time to waste chatting with you all. Speak your minds."

Lin Fan's attitude instantly sent the Hall Masters in the room into an uproar.

Arrogant.

He was unbelievably arrogant.

"Kid, you're too damn arrogant!" Huang Wei roared, picking up his shoe and throwing it at Lin Fan. He wanted to put the kid in his place and let him know this was Loyalty Hall, not a place for him to run wild.

He didn't even care if he hit him.

Instead, he looked at Wang Changhai, "Is this the kind of person you brought? As a Hall Master, do you even know how to lead people? And..."

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Wei felt like a mountain had landed on him, knocking him right off his chair.

Everyone saw it clearly. After Huang Wei threw his smelly shoe at Lin Fan and Lin Fan dodged it, Lin Fan suddenly stood up, grabbed the Grand Tutor's chair beside him, and rushed towards Huang Wei.

He swung the chair, raining blows down on him.

"Arrogant? I think you're looking for death."

"You audacious dog, daring to lay hands on a Security Bureau Officer! I don't think you've ever experienced the tiger bench in prison. If you want to, I'll take you there today."

There was no courtesy, only a furious assault.

Huang Wei screamed, his cries piercing and desperate.

"Gang Leader, save me, save me..."

The people present were stunned.

Wang Changhai's mouth hung open as he stared blankly. Wait, did the conflict start this suddenly? I haven't even sat down yet, I haven't said a word.

The commotion was so loud that the Loyalty Hall disciples rushed over. When they saw the scene, they were also stunned, but no one dared to step forward.

Chen Qingshan and the others' faces were terrifyingly grim, dark enough to drip water.

Crack.

The Grand Tutor's chair fell apart.

Huang Wei curled up, only able to let out low groans.

Lin Fan exhaled, shaking his hand, clearly displeased. He berated angrily, "It's one thing if the juniors don't know any better, but even the elders are clueless."

With that, his gaze shifted to Chen Qingshan.

"As the Gang Leader, how do you teach your people?"
