Zhang Haobai and the Experiment

The three of them settled the bill and left immediately. Bai Yang drove while Luo Feng used his phone to give him directions.

Along the way, Bai Yang drove like a maniac, charging straight through without even looking at the traffic signals.

His reflexes were almost inhuman. Though he drove fast, the ride remained incredibly smooth, and no one was hurt.

A police officer saw his reckless driving and tried to chase him down to intervene.

But an experienced officer who knew the score stopped him. After taking another look at the lettering on the car and its license plate, he immediately backed down.

Luo Feng and Yang Wu were both amazed by Bai Yang's driving. This new friend really was something else!

Who exactly was he?

With Bai Yang's group moving so quickly, they reached Tiandu Garden Residential Area earlier than in the original story.

As soon as the three of them entered, they saw Luo Hongguo's two coworkers lying on the ground, covered in shoe prints. Zhang Haobai had beaten them down.

The three bodyguards he had with him, all at the advanced trainee level, were getting ready to beat Luo Feng's father and the other two men.

Luo Feng's eyes nearly burst with rage. 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 difference in strength between the two sides was obvious. There was no need for them to get involved.

The two of them helped the three men up and gave the middle-aged men a quick check. Once they'd confirmed that no one was hurt, they stood aside and watched.

Knowing they were his son's friends, Luo Hongguo was deeply grateful that they'd come to help. He repeatedly thanked them.

In just a moment, Luo Feng had badly injured the three bodyguards and turned his attention to Zhang Haobai.

"Zhang Haobai!" Luo Feng glared at him, eyes blazing as if he wanted to devour him.

"What are you doing? Luo Feng, what are you doing?" Zhang Haobai stumbled back two steps and roared, "This is my home! You trespassed into my house and hurt my men, and you still dare act so arrogantly!"

"You tried to hit my dad! You wanted to kick my dad?" Luo Feng clenched both fists. His muscles were like steel cables, and the veins bulging across them writhed like earthworms, giving him a terrifying look.

"Your dad? I don't even know who your dad is. How could I hit him or kick him..." Zhang Haobai's eyes suddenly widened as he began to understand.

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

Luo Feng wasn't about to listen to him. Fortunately, this time his father hadn't actually been hurt by Zhang Haobai.

Luo Feng had regained some of his reason and didn't hit him too hard. After a few punches, he grabbed Zhang Haobai and lifted him up with one hand.

"Put the homeowner down!"

More than a dozen security guards, fully equipped and carrying batons, came running over.

The security guards had learned about the fight as soon as it broke out. The people who lived in the townhouses here were all rich or influential, so they couldn't afford to be careless.

They had rushed over at once and called the police as well.

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

By then, the police cars had arrived, and four officers quickly got out.

Luo Feng quietly told Luo Hongguo that he'd already passed the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, so there was no need to worry.

It would take a few more days for the information to be entered into his citizen records.

A few days in a holding cell was nothing to worry about. He would cooperate with the police.

Zhang Haobai naturally gave the officers an exaggerated account of what had happened.

He then turned to the man leading the four officers. "Uncle Liu, my three bodyguards and I were all hurt by him. We're all witnesses."

Everyone else was startled. They actually knew each other!

This was going to be a problem!

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

"Uncle Liu" immediately looked over. His expression tightened when he saw Bai Yang. "Who are you?"

Bai Yang smiled. "I'm a witness too. My other friend and I saw what happened. Aren't you going to ask us to come along and testify?"

Seeing how unafraid Bai Yang was in front of the police, Uncle Liu grew even more wary. "Do you live here?"

"No."

"Then why are you sticking your nose into this? Do you know the whole story?"

Bai Yang smiled. "That's why I'm prepared to come with you to the station and cooperate with the investigation. That won't be a problem, will it?"

Uncle Liu replied irritably, "Suit yourself!"

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

They were just about to lash out at him when their pupils suddenly contracted in shock. They stared as Bai Yang and Yang Wu helped the three older men toward a luxury car!

The car's design was unmistakable. It was the very model listed on the "internal roster."

The paintwork on either side of the doors was especially distinctive: the character "华" and an image of a mountain peak.

This was unquestionably the organization they'd been repeatedly warned never to offend since joining the force!

Mount Hua! That was the name of the most powerful special department in Huaxia Nation's military!

Who would dare impersonate one of their vehicles?

The three officers were so shocked they could barely move. They could hardly believe their eyes!

They hurriedly looked to Uncle Liu for help, still clinging to a faint hope.

Uncle Liu had also gotten a good look at the car by then. He was an experienced officer.

He could tell at a glance that the car was genuine.

His expression changed dramatically, and his voice turned hoarse as he asked, "May I ask which division you're with?"

Bai Yang smiled without answering. He walked off to one side, took out his ID card, and flashed it, motioning for Uncle Liu to come over.

Uncle Liu hurried over, his hands already trembling despite himself.

With shaking hands, he took out a police-issued handheld computer and scanned the information.

All of Bai Yang's other personal details were perfectly ordinary. But in the [Organization] field, the word "CLASSIFIED" stood out.

Uncle Liu suppressed his fear and started running a query.

"Query [search criteria]!"

"Search criteria: Advanced War God! Current police department does not have authorization!"

Uncle Liu was instantly filled with despair. The facts were right there. He couldn't believe that a routine call had just ruined him!

Bai Yang found his reaction amusing.

Sister Mei had already told him after that day that War God Lu was with Mount Hua.

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

After graduating normally, Bai Yang would have joined them as a matter of course and become part of Lu Ting's inner circle.

But there was no way his strength would follow the usual path, so he might as well make use of this borrowed authority while it lasted.

Zhang Haobai was already looking puzzled from a distance. "Uncle Liu, what are you doing?"

Bai Yang immediately gave him a look and mouthed, "Pretend I was never here."

Uncle Liu understood at once and nodded furiously.

What Mount Hua wanted to do was beyond his authority to interfere with.

If Bai Yang said he'd never been there, then he'd never been there!

As long as he did as he was told, there was still a chance he could get out of this alive!

Uncle Liu immediately put on a strictly professional air, took Luo Feng away in the police car, and escorted him to the holding cells.

As for whether his actual treatment of Luo Feng would change during the process, that was anyone's guess.

He was a nobody, insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

To make sure the plot unfolded smoothly, Bai Yang decided to add another layer of insurance.

His right palm began to writhe, and a brand-new Monster Cell appeared.

Zhang Haobai hadn't left yet, so Bai Yang walked over with a smile. He could use him for an experiment.
