Bang!

Inside the alley.

The exhausted, gaunt youth slumped onto the ground.

"I don't want to point fingers at anyone's life."

After obtaining the intelligence he needed, Qin Annian looked at the youth, whose face still held a trace of immaturity.

However.

Within this body.

A soul with twenty-eight years of life experience, who had even spent a few years as a teacher, had awakened memories of a past life.

"Go outside and find a proper job."

"The gangs in the Old District are going to be finished soon."

After leaving these words behind.

He didn't care whether the youth had taken them to heart or not.

Qin Annian turned and walked out of the alley.

Watching the sky, previously only two fingers wide, suddenly expand, Qin Annian pulled back his thoughts.

Should he curse this damned world?

There was no need.

As the heavens maintain their vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement.

After all.

Two days ago.

He had still been worried about whether he would be fired.

Therefore.

Even without the awakening of his past life's memories.

He would have fought with all his might that night, coming to this dangerous Old District to gamble on a future!

"Life doesn't need other people's advice."

Qin Annian strode forward, heading deeper into the Old District.

"Don't have regrets."

"Keep moving forward!"

Until he reaches that peak!

"There are over a hundred gangs, large and small, in the Old District."

"Among them."

"The most powerful are the Blood Blade Gang and the Azure Dragon Society."

"Typical gang forces."

Even their names are so intimidating.

These two gangs have carved up about three-fifths of the Old District's territory.

"So, the Old District is being prepared for development."

"No wonder."

"The Security Bureau is suddenly paying attention to these gang fights."

According to past conventions.

As long as ordinary citizens weren't affected, it didn't matter if these gangs killed each other.

Anyway.

As far as Taiyu City is concerned.

The people in the gangs are all pests.

If they die.

It is actually beneficial to the public order of Taiyu City.

The Security Bureau would only cuff the gang leaders and give them a stern warning after the fact.

That would be the end of it.

After all.

The Security Bureau isn't omnipotent.

"I remember a certain president of a Western superpower in my past life said this."

"It's the economy, stupid."

Economic problems cannot be solved.

Today, you crush the Blood Blade Gang and the Azure Dragon Society.

The next day.

A Blood Sword Gang and a White Tiger Society will sprout up in their place.

Poverty is the soil in which gangs breed.

To develop the economy and eliminate poverty, one must first ensure public order.

"This new mayor wants to develop the Old District."

"All the gang forces blocking the way will be sacrificed."

After understanding the deeper meaning behind this case.

Qin Annian decided to handle it in the most direct and simple way possible.

Passing through streets as complex as a labyrinth, Qin Annian finally arrived at the core area of the Old District.

"Hey!"

"You there!"

"What are you doing here?"

There were over a dozen burly men wearing tank tops, revealing large swaths of tattoos, drinking and smoking.

Seeing Qin Annian walk over, they immediately shouted:

"This is the headquarters of the Blood Blade Gang; outsiders are not welcome."

Qin Annian raised his eyes, looking toward the three-story old building behind them.

"The leader of the Blood Blade Gang only has 20 points of Life Development Power."

"His combat power is only 43 points."

In the Old District, this was already one of the strongest people on the surface.

Mere rabble.

Qin Annian took a step forward.

Instantly.

The lazy gang members' faces immediately turned ferocious.

"So, it's just a little punk looking for trouble?"

"Tired of living!"

"Break his limbs and throw him out!"

The dozen or so men holding clubs suddenly attacked, roaring as they lunged at Qin Annian.

Qin Annian's speed did not slow down.

He tightened his fist slightly and swung it forward.

Crack!

A harsh sound rang out as an iron club bent, slamming into the face of the man who had swung it.

Thud!

A figure flew out like a ragdoll, crashing onto the ground.

Dust rose into the air.

Qin Annian's brows furrowed slightly.

"Why hasn't the assistance count increased?"

"How is this hostility determined?"

"Let's try again."

Two breaths later.

The only person left standing was Qin Annian.

On the ground.

Were nothing but wailing, rolling gang members.

"Hmph!"

Boom!

At this moment.

A figure jumped down from a second-story window of the old building.

Both feet landed on the ground, seemingly causing a tremor.

"Leader!"

"Gang Leader!"

"This brat is causing trouble on our Blood Blade Gang's turf!"

The rolling gang member saw the tall, burly man and immediately wailed at the top of his lungs.

"A martial artist who has entered the threshold with a Life Development Power over 10?"

"Coming to my Blood Blade Gang to act recklessly, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place!"

This leader of the Blood Blade Gang was bald, with a scar resembling a centipede stretching from his left eye down to the corner of his mouth.

The aura emanating from his body was also extremely fierce and violent.

Qin Annian glanced at him dismissively.

He clipped his Peace Officer badge onto the upper right side of his clothing.

As a martial artist with a Life Development Power over 20, Xu Laosan had excellent eyesight.

As he looked at the Peace Officer badge, his pupils instantly constricted!

"A Peace Officer from the Security Bureau?"

"What do you want by coming here?"

His attitude underwent a heaven-and-earth transformation.

He was no longer as arrogant as before, but instead displayed a great deal of apprehension.

Although.

The Blood Blade Gang could run rampant in the Old District.

However.

They were always just rats in the gutter that couldn't see the light of day.

To them, the Security Bureau was exactly the kind of natural predator they feared!

If they could avoid provoking them.

They would certainly try their best to do so.

"There is a case."

"I need you to come back and assist with the investigation."

Qin Annian pulled a pair of electronic handcuffs from his waist and tossed them toward Xu Laosan.

"Xu Laosan."

"Come with me."

Seeing their gang leader being "humiliated" by a mere punk with such words.

Those gang members' eyes turned red instantly!

"What kind of attitude is that?!"

"Even if the Security Bureau comes for our leader, they should at least say 'please'!"

"You are simply..."

A barrage of foul language erupted here.

Xu Laosan's expression also turned extremely ugly.

He had initially wanted to negotiate with Qin Annian.

But he hadn't expected.

That Qin Annian would actually use this attitude to humiliate him in front of so many people?

"Hmph!"

He let out a cold snort.

He swung his large hand forward.

He swatted the electronic handcuffs away, sending them clattering to the ground nearby.

"Your Excellency, Peace Officer."

"Forgive me for not accompanying you!"

"Men."

"Escort this Peace Officer out."

As Xu Laosan's voice fell.

More and more people swarmed in from all directions.

This was the troublesome part about gangs.

There was strength in numbers.

Relying on the idea that the law cannot punish the masses, these people often dared to do some very bold things.

Unless.

Unless an Assault Team from the Operations Division comes in, they wouldn't be scared enough to keep their heads down.

Otherwise.

Even someone like Zhao Daming, the Peace Officer originally responsible for patrolling this area, wouldn't dare to barge in here alone on a whim.

If he did.

And suffered a loss.

It would only be his own face that ended up disgraced.

"Xu Laosan."

"Are you planning to resist arrest?"

Qin Annian didn't hold back either, immediately slapping a label on Xu Laosan.

Looking at the malicious gang members surrounding him.

He cracked his neck.

Then.

He clenched his fists and lunged forward violently!

Hiss!

Xu Laosan whipped his head around.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but gasp in shock!

"Where did this hotheaded brat come from?!"

"How does he actually dare?!"

Xu Laosan was stunned for a moment.

Logically speaking.

Seeing so many people, this Peace Officer should have backed off.

Why did he suddenly explode into action?

For a moment.

Xu Laosan felt like a mute who had swallowed bitter herbs!

"You forced my hand!"

With no way out, Xu Laosan was forced to take action himself.
