After getting advice from netizens, Zhang Beixing scrolled through his phone for a while. It wasn't until 10:00 PM, seeing it was getting late, that Lin Siqi and her two friends said goodbye to Zhang Beixing, left the hospital, and returned to their university dormitory to rest.

After the three women left, Zhang Beixing lay alone in the silent hospital room. He thought about the follow-up plans for a bit, and soon, exhaustion overcame him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

He slept from that evening until 8:00 AM the next morning.

June 9th, Friday.

Waking up in the hospital bed feeling remarkably refreshed, Zhang Beixing instinctively patted himself down, making sure there were no strange tubes inserted into him, pumping odd fluids into his body.

He didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer.

So, he got dressed and went to the nurses' station.

Under the somewhat reluctant gazes of the doctors, Zhang Beixing completed the discharge procedures.

Walking out on the street, Zhang Beixing took a deep breath, feeling invigorated.

He then pulled out his phone to see if anyone had messaged him. He saw that after 11:00 PM last night, Li Shuo from the Shishi Police Station had sent him a message, asking when he would be free in the next couple of days to come to the Shishi Police Station and receive the reward they had for him.

Thinking there was no time like the present, Zhang Beixing replied to Li Shuo that today would work.

Not long after he sent the message, Li Shuo replied, asking if Zhang Beixing needed him to come and pick him up.

Zhang Beixing's response was affirmative. Why would he refuse a special police escort?

Zhang Beixing promptly sent his location. He waited there for a few minutes, and soon he saw Li Shuo driving a police car over to take him to the Shishi Police Station.

The Shishi Police Station was quite generous.

Besides the requisite "For Courageous Actions" banner, they also gave Zhang Beixing a cash reward of 50,000 yuan.

That averaged out to roughly two or three thousand yuan for each trafficker he had dealt with.

Originally, they could have given more. However, because Zhang Beixing had been too brutal during the capture—killing fifteen of the seventeen human traffickers, with the remaining two still in a comatose state and yet to awaken—fifty thousand yuan was the absolute limit they could get approved for him.

Although Zhang Beixing was slightly disappointed by this, he didn't say much.

He just took the center spot for a few photos with Superintendent Bai, Li Shuo, and others to commemorate this moment of police-community camaraderie. Then, he got into the police car and was driven back to Shi University by Li Shuo.

「...」

BANG!

"Kids, your father is back!"

The door to Room 203 was kicked open with a loud crash, Zhang Beixing's arrogant voice booming from the doorway.

The rapid clatter of keyboards suddenly ceased.

Zheng Jituo and the others, who were in the middle of a game, stared dumbfounded towards the entrance.

When they saw Zhang Beixing standing there with a wild grin, they were stunned for a moment. Then, in the next second, they all ripped off their headphones and rushed over, surrounding Zhang Beixing and eyeing him up and down with unconcealed astonishment.

"Holy shit, Lao Zhang? Is that really you, Lao Zhang?" Zheng Jituo exclaimed, looking Zhang Beixing over, his face a mask of disbelief.

Zhang Beixing frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. "What? I've only been gone a day, and my son doesn't recognize his father anymore?"

"No, that's not what I mean! Damn, how did you even do it? Holy shit, we haven't seen you for just one day, and in that time you went up a mountain chasing human traffickers and even killed them, I heard? You're too damn awesome!"

"Yeah, seriously! My god, I was floored when I saw that video last night! I even wondered if I was seeing things. I mean, all you do is jog and practice some boxing every day. When did you get so unbelievably strong?!"

"Quick, quick, Lao Zhang, an autograph! My goddess saw your video last night and has been clamoring for your contact info and an autographed photo! Send it to me, quick!"

One after another, Zheng Jituo and the other two voiced their amazement, their gazes fixed on Zhang Beixing.

Clearly, they had all seen the video released by the police the previous night.

Seeing their reactions, Zhang Beixing casually waved his hand.

"Keep it down, keep it down, alright? So I went up the mountain alone to chase some traffickers, and while I was at it, I killed fifteen of them and left two more seriously injured and comatose. Is that such a big deal?

"There's no need to tell everyone about my glorious deeds. It was just a 15/0/0 KDA, what's so hard about that? We're all about being low-key, understand? Low-key!

"As my fine sons, you all should have understood this. It truly disappoints your father that you haven't!"

Saying this, Zhang Beixing shook his head, feigning deep disappointment with Zheng Jituo and the others.

Seeing this act, the eyelids of Zheng Jituo and his friends twitched uncontrollably.

They looked at the irrepressible grin tugging at the corners of Zhang Beixing's mouth, feeling utterly speechless.

So much for 'low-key,' they thought. The guy's practically shouting from the rooftops about his heroic deeds and his 15.0 KDA against those traffickers!

However, Zheng Jituo and the others could understand.

After all, if it were them who had accomplished such a feat, they would surely brag about it for a lifetime and spend a fortune to have it broadcast on Shishi's largest advertising screen all day. To do any less, they'd feel, would be a disservice to the fifteen traffickers who had died at their hands!

Just then, Jin Linyu had a sudden idea and said excitedly to Zhang Beixing, "Lao Zhang, I think your story is epic enough to be a novel! I've even got the basic plot figured out: The protagonist's parents are abducted by foreign operatives when he's three. He begins Martial Arts Training at four, masters Hidden Force at five, becomes the world's strongest Martial Artist at six and rescues his family, achieves the rank of Grandmaster at seven and is undefeated, then at eight, he sees through the vanity of the mortal world and retires to a secluded mountain, his great deeds hidden from the world!"
