Bai Yifan was able to earn his first pot of gold in life thanks to the assistance of his father, who set up a large auction company specializing in the auction of antique calligraphy and paintings, from which they profited through commissions. After all, it was part of the cultural and arts sector his father oversaw, who thus pulled some strings on behalf.

Later, relying on his own talent and wit, Bai Yifan used his initial wealth to slowly expand his business, eventually amassing a fortune of over one hundred million.

Bai Yifan entered his father's study, spoke of the matter with grave seriousness—of course, not explicitly stating his purpose. But the astute Mr. Bai had already grasped his son's intentions. He smiled, took off his glasses, and looked earnestly at his son, saying, "Yifan, you've grown up. With such matters... I think... you know what my answer would be without me saying it."

With head bowed, Bai Yifan said, "Dad, is there really no other way?"

"It's not a matter of whether there's a way or not, it's that you shouldn't have made such friends in the first place," Mr. Bai said with heartfelt seriousness. "I know you like to make friends, but there must be limits. Befriend those you should, and never those you shouldn't."

"Dad, I understand," Bai Yifan nodded.

"I can help you with this," said Mr. Bai, raising his head to look at Bai Yifan with all seriousness. "But it may jeopardize my reputation in my later years; are you willing for that to happen?"

"What?!" Bai Yifan was stunned.

To help just once and risk tarnishing his reputation? But perhaps it was a possibility. After all, his father had always been a law-abiding and upright man, an official of integrity who never acted inappropriately. In pain and uncertainty, Bai Yifan did not know what to do.

"Yifan, such a matter can be big or small," Mr. Bai said with a smile. "If I do get involved, I will inevitably be entangled in it. It's hard to say what might happen then; are you sure you want me to take that risk?"

"Forget it," Bai Yifan waved his hand and said, "It's not that important of a friend, anyway."

From Lin Chuan's perspective, it really wasn't worth the effort. But Tang Yumeng was different. This woman he deeply loved, this woman he had been unable to forget. Bai Yifan found it hard to let go. Maybe, aside from involving his father, there should be another way.

......

Tang Yumeng had always been paying close attention to this matter.

Song Ming had already summoned the personnel from Jiangbei City's Public Security Bureau for an urgent meeting. As the Executive Deputy Secretary, Song Ming was in charge of public security and transportation.

Lin Chuan's case was a situation where pulling one thread affected the whole web, and the police bureau meeting unexpectedly turned into a gangster-capture assembly, which was beyond anyone's expectations. This was because the group that went with Lin Chuan to storm the police station was numerous; capturing just Lin Chuan wasn't enough to quell the police's anger.

No one knew how things had escalated so much. Maybe it was because there were too many hoodlums in Jiangbei City, too many to catch; sometimes they'd resist, plus there was pressure from above, which sometimes made law enforcement frustrating as they couldn't just arrest people willy-nilly, leading to a loss of face for the police who wanted to take the opportunity to act out.

After urgent deliberation at the meeting, Song Ming issued an order for the Public Security Bureau to lead the operation, with the Jiangbei City Armed Police Command as the backup force, to initiate a comprehensive arrest of Lin Chuan and the young group from Changlin Factory.

"The lawbreakers must be given the punishment they deserve." This was Song Ming's closing remark at the meeting, showing everyone his determination and stance.

"Secretary Song, rest assured," Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau quickly nodded.

Three days later would be the day the comprehensive capture was to take place. Just so happened that day was the 27th of the lunar year. Actually, the arrest should have happened earlier, but it was delayed to catch them all in one swoop, sparing Lin Chuan in the meantime.
