Zhang Haobai and the Experiment

The three immediately settled the bill and left. Bai Yang was driving, while Luo Feng held his phone to navigate.

Along the way, Bai Yang drove like a maniac, barreling through without so much as glancing at traffic signals.

His reflexes were almost superhuman; though the car sped along, it remained perfectly steady, harming no one.

Some cops saw his reckless driving and tried to intervene.

But a seasoned veteran among them took one look at the markings on the car and the license plate, and they quickly backed off.

Luo Feng and Yang Wu watched from the car, marveling. This new friend was no ordinary man!

Just who was he?

With that, Bai Yang's group moved at lightning speed, arriving at Tiandu Garden Residential Area even earlier than in the original story.

The moment the three stepped inside, they saw Luo Hongguo's two coworkers knocked to the ground by Zhang Haobai, their bodies covered in footprints.

His three bodyguards, at the level of senior trainees, were about to lay into Luo's father and the other two.

Luo Feng's eyes blazed with fury. He roared, "Stop!" and charged at them.

Bai Yang and Yang Wu didn't step in. Luo Feng's strength was plain for all to see.

The balance of power was obvious; there was no need for them to act.

The two went over to help the three men up, gave them a quick check to make sure they were fine, then stood aside to watch.

Luo Hongguo knew they were his son's friends and had come to help of their own accord. He was deeply grateful and thanked them repeatedly.

In just moments, Luo Feng had gravely wounded the three bodyguards and cornered Zhang Haobai.

"Zhang Haobai!" Luo Feng's eyes seemed to spit fire, as if he wanted to devour him.

"What are you doing, Luo Feng? What do you think you're doing!" Zhang Haobai stumbled back two steps and bellowed, "This is my home! You break in, beat my men, and you're the one acting tough!"

"You wanted to hit my dad? You wanted to kick my dad?" Luo Feng clenched his fists, his muscles like steel cables, veins bulging like writhing earthworms, a terrifying sight.

"Your dad? I don't even know who your dad is! How could I hit him or kick—" Zhang Haobai's eyes suddenly widened as realization dawned.

Seeing Luo Feng's expression, Zhang Haobai immediately shouted, "Luo Feng, I'm warning you, you—"

Luo Feng paid him no mind. Fortunately, Luo's father hadn't actually been hurt by him this time.

Luo Feng had a bit more restraint and didn't go too far. After a few punches, he grabbed Zhang Haobai by the collar and lifted him up.

"Put the resident down now!"

A dozen fully armed security guards rushed over, wielding batons.

The commotion had immediately reached the neighborhood security. Anyone living in the townhouses here was wealthy or influential, so they dared not take it lightly.

They arrived swiftly and also called the police.

Luo Feng knew when to stop and didn't cause more trouble.

By then, a police car had arrived, and four officers quickly got out.

Luo Feng quietly told Luo Hongguo that he had already passed the probationary warrior assessment, so there was nothing to worry about.

But it would be a few days before the info was recorded in his citizen identity data.

A few days in the detention center was no big deal. He would cooperate with the police.

Zhang Haobai, of course, embellished the story for the arriving officers.

He then turned to the leader among the four cops. "Uncle Liu, my three bodyguards and I were all beaten by him. We're all witnesses."

The others' hearts sank. They knew each other!

This was trouble!

Bai Yang suddenly chuckled and stepped forward. "Are you Officer Liu?"

The "Uncle Liu" immediately looked over, his gaze sharpening as he saw Bai Yang. "Who are you?"

Bai Yang smiled. "I'm also a witness. My other friend and I saw everything that happened. Aren't you going to invite us to testify too?"

Uncle Liu, seeing how unflappable he was in front of the police, grew more wary. "Are you a resident here?"

"No."

"Then why are you butting in? Do you know the full story of how this started?"

Bai Yang grinned. "That's why I'm ready to go to the police station with you to assist in the investigation. That's fine, isn't it?"

Uncle Liu said irritably, "Suit yourself!"

The other three cops were annoyed by Bai Yang's attitude.

They were about to snap at him when their eyes widened in shock. They watched as he and Yang Wu helped the three elderly men toward a luxury car!

The car's design was unmistakable—it was one of the models on the "internal list."

Especially the markings on both doors: a character for "Hua" and a mountain peak.

This was an institution they had been drilled since joining the force to never, ever offend!

Mount Hua! That was the name of the strongest special forces division of the Huaxia military!

Who would dare impersonate their vehicles?

The three of them were almost scared stiff, unable to believe their own eyes!

They hurriedly looked to Uncle Liu for help, a sliver of hope still lingering in their hearts.

Uncle Liu had already clearly seen the situation with this car; he was a seasoned veteran police officer.

He could tell at a glance that this vehicle was genuine.

His expression shifted drastically, and his voice turned hoarse as he asked, "May I ask which unit you're from?"

Bai Yang smiled without answering, walked a distance away, took out his ID card and flashed it, signaling Uncle Liu to come over.

Uncle Liu quickly hurried over, his hands already trembling uncontrollably.

Shakily, he pulled out a police-issue handheld computer and scanned the information.

Bai Yang's other identity details were all normal, except in the [Unit] field, where it clearly read "Classified"!

Uncle Liu suppressed his inner terror and began a series of operations.

"Query [Query Criteria]!"

"Query criteria: Advanced War God! Current police department lacks authorization!"

Uncle Liu's hopes were instantly dashed. The evidence was right there—he never imagined a routine dispatch would destroy him like this!

Bai Yang found his reaction amusing.

Sister Mei had told him long ago that War God Lu was from [Mount Hua].

He was also the sixth disciple of Jia Yi, the founder of Mount Hua, and currently oversaw Mount Hua's Third Unit.

If Bai Yang had graduated normally, he would have naturally joined and become Lu Ting's direct subordinate.

But his strength certainly wouldn't follow the usual path, so this borrowed authority would expire anyway—might as well use it while it lasts.

Zhang Haobai, watching from a distance, grew puzzled and asked, "Uncle Liu, what are you doing?"

Bai Yang immediately shot him a look and mouthed silently, "I was never here."

Uncle Liu caught on at once and nodded frantically.

What [Mount Hua] wanted to do—was that any of his business?

If he said he was never here, then he was never here!

As long as he complied, there was still a sliver of hope!

Uncle Liu immediately put on a professional, businesslike demeanor, escorted Luo Feng into the car, and drove him to the detention center.

As for whether his actual attitude toward Luo Feng would change in the process—that was anyone's guess.

He was just a small fry, insignificant.

To ensure the plot went smoothly, Bai Yang decided to add another layer of insurance.

His right palm squirmed, and a brand-new Monster Cell appeared.

Since Zhang Haobai hadn't left yet, he walked over with a smile, ready to use him as a test subject.
