Hearing Han Yang's question, Zhang Dazhu was startled for a moment, then immediately replied, "I, Zhang Dazhu, don't understand anything else, I only know how to repay kindness. Mr. Han, just give the orders, I'm not afraid of death."

Han Yang nodded slightly. "From today onwards, the Pistol Squad will no longer patrol the streets. They will all stay at the martial arts hall and wait for my command."

"Yes!"

After sending Zhang Dazhu away, Han Yang's thoughts stirred. Immediately, in a total of six uninhabited small courtyards located several hundred to several thousand meters away from Fuxing Mall, pre-assembled robot operators manipulated drone remote controls. With a single command, six small drones parked on wireless charging pads immediately roared to life and quickly soared into the sky.

The six drones each flew to different locations. One of them arrived above the Public Security Bureau in the Vegetable Market District.

Under the drone's lens, the few buildings within the Public Security Bureau appeared somewhat dilapidated and unremarkable. However, Han Yang knew clearly that this was one of the highest power organs in the entire Vegetable Market District.

Any command issued from here could potentially affect the lives and deaths of many people.

Even the most audacious gang members wouldn't dare cause trouble near the Public Security Bureau.

Zhou Da'an, who held a high position of power within the Revival Group, capable of making gang bosses obedient and controlling the entire Revival Group with a single word, was merely a middle-level figure within the Public Security Bureau. There were countless people at his level or higher.

From a height of several hundred meters, this drone brazenly monitored the Public Security Bureau compound, which struck fear into countless people, carefully searching every ground target.

In just a few seconds, Han Yang found what he was looking for.

It was a sedan, the vehicle of Cheng Hong, the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Han Yang knew that Cheng Hong owned several flying cars. However, his favorite vehicle to ride in was this sedan that could only drive on the ground. As for the reason, Han Yang had heard it was because he enjoyed the feeling of inspecting his territory.

If the car was here, Cheng Hong was most likely also at the Public Security Bureau.

After locating Cheng Hong, the other drones returned one after another, landing on their respective wireless charging pads to begin charging. This particular drone began monitoring until its battery was almost depleted, at which point another drone came to replace it before it flew back.

Although the drone couldn't see inside the buildings or see Cheng Hong, it didn't matter as long as it confirmed he was here.

At this moment, inside the Public Security Bureau building, in a room, in front of a window, Zhou Da'an stood respectfully, his waist slightly bent, as if the person on the other end of the phone could sense his reverence. "Director Cheng, I have already requested double the money from the Revival Group. I have also made arrangements with the Iron Wolf Gang. We should have an answer soon regarding whether this Revival Group has any background."

A voice full of authority came from the other end of the phone. "I understand."

The call ended. Inside the Director's office in the Public Security Bureau building, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Hong's mouth.

Able to deploy armed drones? Suspected of having connections with the Earth Guard? Why was it that despite asking so many people, no one knew about the Revival Group and the person named Han Yang?

This time's probing, if that Han Yang truly had a background, it should have revealed itself by now. If he had no background... then, the Vegetable Market District would not allow such an impressive person to exist.

A single Fuxing Mall, worth several million, would belong to him.

He worked hard for a year and only earned ten million, with most of it having to be given as tribute to others. One Fuxing Mall was worth half a year's income for him. Taking a slight risk was completely worth it.

Han Yang continued to monitor the Public Security Bureau compound until he saw Cheng Hong get into his car via the drone and leave the Public Security Bureau with two subordinates.

"Since the Revival Group lacks a backer, then, Cheng Hong, it will be you. You will be my backer. The director, the top person, of the Public Security Bureau in the Vegetable Market District, can barely cover for me at this stage."

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dark. The drone with night vision capabilities clearly saw Cheng Hong's sedan parked in front of the most luxurious hotel in the Vegetable Market District. The car door opened, and the two capable-looking subordinates got out from both sides. One opened the rear passenger door, and the other vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

The two men escorted Cheng Hong into the hotel.

Two hours later, the three came out of the hotel again, with several people who looked like bosses respectfully seeing them off at the entrance.

The three got into the car, but the car did not head towards Cheng Hong's residence. Instead, it drove in another direction, all the way to a high-end residential area, and entered the underground parking garage.

The next morning, Cheng Hong's car appeared again and arrived at the Public Security Bureau. After getting out of the car, it was still the two men escorting Cheng Hong.

"These are probably Cheng Hong's bodyguards. Hmm, quite cautious, they take him everywhere."

Han Yang was not in a hurry and continued to monitor. Six drones took turns flying under Han Yang's remote control, continuously watching Cheng Hong 24 hours a day. After five consecutive days of monitoring, he finally figured out Cheng Hong's daily schedule and route.

That night, the long-awaited Zhang Dazhu finally received Han Yang's order.

"Take the Pistol Squad and stake out here. Wait for my command."

Han Yang guessed that Cheng Hong would likely go to that high-end residential area tonight – he suspected it was the residence of Cheng Hong's mistress.

Han Yang planned to make a move on Cheng Hong on the road.

In the evening, after finishing the dinner banquet, Cheng Hong indeed headed towards that residential area with his two bodyguards. The drone followed from a distance, constantly monitoring him.

Ahead, a group of gang members were fighting. Han Yang's brows furrowed slightly.

If Cheng Hong's car changed its route because of this, his plan would fall through.

However, Cheng Hong's car not only didn't stop but accelerated towards the group of gang members who were desperately hacking at each other with steel pipes and machetes on the street. Along the way, the car suddenly turned on its police lights and siren. The group of gang members instantly became chaotic and scattered in all directions.

The windows of Cheng Hong's car were even open. Even from several hundred meters away, Han Yang seemed to hear the rampant laughter from inside the car.

"Is this Cheng Hong so confident? Isn't he afraid that the gang members might get carried away and hack him too? Or has Cheng Hong been acting like a local tyrant for so long that he's not afraid of anyone dealing with him?"

If Li Hu, Zhao Fu, or Black Three, who had already been killed by Han Yang, had seen this scene, they probably wouldn't have been as surprised as Han Yang.

Among the underworld figures in the Vegetable Market District, who didn't know about Director Cheng Hong's hobby? He enjoyed herding these gang members like sheep.

Once, a gang member was a little slow to hide, and his machete accidentally scratched Cheng Hong's car. The next day, that gang member's entire family disappeared without a trace. The leader of that gang reportedly sent a gift of several hundred thousand yuan to get Cheng Hong to spare them.

From then on, all the gang members in the Vegetable Market District who were involved in the underworld knew about Director Cheng's hobby. If they encountered him at night, they would hide as quickly as possible.

Regardless, Cheng Hong's car did not change its route. This was what Han Yang cared about most.

Ahead, at the narrowest point of the road, Zhang Dazhu had already pushed down a broken wall. The scattered bricks and stones blocked the road, and the ten members of the Pistol Squad were already hidden nearby.
