"What's so great?" Lu Dapao gobbled down over ten skewers in one go. He laughed and said, "If you can beat Zhou Kai, what's stopping you from becoming the deputy hall master? Show me you can defeat Zhou Kai, and I'll let you be the deputy hall master of Jvyi Gang."

"This…" Li Qiang shook his head awkwardly.

"See?" Lu Dapao gulped down a mouthful of beer and said, "Consider it, Dawg."

"I'd rather stick with big brother Kai." Dawg blinked his shiny eyes.

Haha...

Everyone burst into laughter. Lu Dapao laughed helplessly. This kid really knits his brow, turning down the deputy hall master position just to do the team leader's chores.

With Lin Chuan's release, everyone was very happy and relaxed. However, Chen Bin's death left them somewhat brooding. Chen Bin had died, and Lin Chuan's charges couldn't be cleared, even with Chen Jianguo's help, Lin Chuan was forever tagged as a criminal suspect. After all, it was a disgraceful matter.

"Lin Chuan, I am leaving tomorrow," Zhao Zhonghai came over.

"I remember." Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I will see you off tomorrow."

"Good." Zhao Zhonghai nodded.

......

The next morning, Lin Chuan was all dressed up, in a clean camouflage uniform with a military cap on his head and military boots issued by the military district on his feet—a standard military attire.

At the entrance of Changlin Factory, Zhao Zhonghai was already holding his simple travel bag. Not far from him, a military jeep was parked with two warriors dressed in army green. Both of them stayed inside, sitting straight in the driver's and co-driver's seats.

"Brother, you finally came," Zhao Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, I really don't want to see you go," Lin Chuan sighed and said, "You've helped me so much, and yet I've never been able to help you."

"That's not something brothers should say," Zhao Zhonghai laughed and replied, "Just take good care of Dawg for me."

"Taking care of Dawg is a must," Lin Chuan nodded.

"If there's a chance, we'll definitely meet again," Zhao Zhonghai earnestly said.

"I believe that day will surely come," Lin Chuan seriously replied.

"Alright, I'm leaving," Zhao Zhonghai patted Lin Chuan's shoulder.

Lin Chuan hugged Zhao Zhonghai and said, "The battlefield is ruthless, please be very careful. If there's a chance, we can fight side by side on the battlefield."

"Looking forward to that day," Zhao Zhonghai was excited.

Indeed, two men, both soldiers, might not have much to talk about or many mutual interests. But their greatest shared passion would definitely be fighting side by side on the battlefield, bleeding and battling together. Zhao Zhonghai couldn't help but get excited by this idea.

Eventually, Zhao Zhonghai boarded the military jeep and watched the vehicle gradually move away, but Lin Chuan's gaze became increasingly intense.

The fact that he was heading to the battlefield now was evident. The instability along the country's southwestern border was clear, possibly due to the chaotic situation in Wa State and the Myanmar military forces having once again caught fire, even involving our southwestern border. Thus, a strong force was needed to stabilize the border. Troops stationed at the southwestern border were always on standby, but small-scale chaos couldn't involve regular troops, which is why the Sea Wolf Special Action Team had become the special favorite of the southwestern military district.

It was only logical that Zhao Zhonghai was recalled.

Lin Chuan took a drag on his cigarette,

"Master, where did Dad go?" Dawg suddenly appeared from nowhere.

"Him?" Lin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "He's gone to perform righteous deeds."

"Really?" Dawg's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

"Mm-hmm," Lin Chuan nodded.

To a child Dawg's age, if you talked about defending the nation, he might not understand. But if you mentioned performing righteous deeds, he would immediately grasp the meaning. Lin Chuan patted Dawg's head and said, "Dawg, you must grow up to be as great as your dad, okay?"

"Yes!" Dawg nodded firmly and said, "I want to be a person who performs righteous deeds too."

Dawg was left in Lin Chuan's care, and he entrusted Dawg to Zhou Kai. Having Zhou Kai look after Dawg was the most appropriate choice. Zhou Kai was very fond of Dawg, and Dawg himself planned to join Unity Hall and become a member.

After sending Dawg to Feixiang Company and instructing Zhou Kai to take good care of him, Lin Chuan went to the City Committee.

Just a few days ago, Lin Chuan was arrested for drug trafficking, causing a huge uproar at the City Committee, and many people thought Lin Chuan was done for, that even if he didn't die, he would probably spend his life in prison. However, to their surprise, Lin Chuan showed up at the City Committee.

"Lin Chuan, you... weren't you locked up?" the security guard at the door exclaimed in shock.

"Sorry to disappoint you," Lin Chuan smiled.

"No, no, no," the security guard quickly shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, we definitely didn't mean that, we... we really admire and respect you."

Before they could finish, Lin Chuan had already walked into the City Committee.

The lounge was noisy.

"Hehe, Lin Chuan is definitely doomed this time," Song Wen said with a cigarette in his mouth, his legs propped on the usual card-playing table. He took a drag and said, "This kid is bound for a certain death penalty, if not a lifetime of trouble. So, remember, this is what happens to those who oppose us."

Wow...

The crowd was in an uproar. From Song Wen's words, they could roughly infer that Lin Chuan's imprisonment was related to him somehow. Thus, the crowd appeared quite surprised and shocked. With the abilities of the Song brothers, they could actually manage to get Lin Chuan thrown in jail?

Luo Guoqing was no fool; he guessed that this must have something to do with Song Hao and his son Song Ming.

Just as the Song brothers were incessantly boasting about their prowess in the break room, a figure walked in.

"Lin Chuan?!!" Luo Guoqing exclaimed in surprise.

This was more shocking than seeing a ghost. Luo Guoqing knew Lin Chuan had been arrested and was aware of his drug trafficking. But, seeing Lin Chuan entering the conference room today? Wasn't this simply terrifying?

Upon hearing Luo Guoqing's voice, everyone turned their heads toward the door.

"Ah, it really is Lin Chuan."

"Lin Chuan, you... how did you escape from prison?"

The crowd asked in astonishment.

At this moment, Song Wen quickly squeezed through the crowd, looked at Lin Chuan with a shocked face, and exclaimed, "Lin Chuan, you... you actually broke out of prison?!"

"You're wrong." Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Then..." Song Wen asked in surprise.

"Oh, forgot to tell you, I got out yesterday." Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I was acquitted."

"Impossible!" Song Wen yelled loudly.

"What? Are you the judge?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but mock.

"I..." Song Wen was startled and stuttered, "Your crimes are proven, with both eyewitness and physical evidence. How could you possibly be acquitted? You must have escaped."

"If you insist on saying so, then think of me as if I've escaped." Lin Chuan then sat down beside Luo Guoqing.

Upon hearing this, Song Wen panicked, quickly grabbed his brother, and they both ran outside.

As soon as the Song brothers left, the break room immediately became chaotic.

"Lin Chuan, hurry and leave, don't get caught by them."

"Yeah, right, they're not here now, quick go."

The brothers in the break room urgently raised their voices.

On the side, Luo Guoqing, not as agitated as the others, curiously asked, "Kid, were you really acquitted?"

"Otherwise, why would I come to the City Committee to surrender myself?" Lin Chuan laughed and said.

"That makes sense." Luo Guoqing chuckled and said, "Brother, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark; I don't think you can stay here anymore, think it over for yourself."

"Lin Chuan fears nothing on heaven or earth, why would I need to run?" Lin Chuan scoffed disdainfully.

"Bold and brave." Luo Guoqing laughed heartily.

Song Ming's office.

The Song brothers hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

"Uncle, it's bad, Lin Chuan has escaped from prison." Song Wen quickly said.

Song Ming was reading in the office, briefly glanced up at his two nephews as they entered, then said, "And then?"

"Then we need to capture him immediately." Song Wen quickly said, "This guy is suspected of drug trafficking, and the severity of his crime is extreme. Failing to execute him would hardly quiet public outrage. Uncle, please have someone arrest him quickly."

"Then why didn't you call the police?" Song Ming scoffed.

Song Wen was stunned, hurriedly pulled out his cell phone to call the police.

Bang!

Suddenly, Song Ming slammed the book in his hand onto the desk. Startled, Song Wen's phone fell from his hand, the battery popping out. He looked at Song Ming with a bewildered face, awkwardly saying, "Uncle, I..."

"Idiot!" Song Ming cursed loudly, "Who told you to enter my office without knocking."

"I... I... I!" Song Wen was dumbfounded, not understanding why his uncle suddenly erupted in anger.

"Get out!" Song Ming roared furiously.

"Yes, yes, yes." Frightened, Song Wen quickly scurried out.

After the two brothers came out, Song Wen, patting his chest, said, "Second brother, why do you think uncle is like this?"

"Obviously, he's in a bad mood." Song Wu glanced at Song Wen.

"Why is he in a bad mood?" Song Wen quickly asked.

"He must have lost in his power struggle with Tang Yumeng." Song Wu sighed and said, "Otherwise, how could Lin Chuan possibly come out of the police station? Political battles often determine many people's freedom and future."

"No wonder." Song Wen suddenly realized and said, "So, Lin Chuan didn't escape from prison?"
