They say drinking causes trouble, and now it seems drinking not only causes trouble, but also easily stirs it up.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly uncontrollable, Li Xiang had no choice but to step forward.

"Everyone, calm down. Listen to my advice. A brawl is bad for everyone. If you win, you go to the police station for detention; if you lose, you end up in the hospital..."

At this moment, everyone's anger was already boiling over—how could a few words from Li Xiang possibly calm them down?

Amidst the chaos, someone took a bottle and smashed it over Chen Long's head.

Bam~

The bottle shattered, glass shards stinging the face painfully, let alone hitting the head.

This bang seemed to signal everyone to start fighting; seeing Brother Long get hit, along with the pent-up rage, their minds went blank, and they grabbed weapons to join the fray.

"Stop fighting, stop it, all of you."

Li Xiang watched the brawling crowd, wanting to intervene, but he was only one person. The men in suits were professional fighters, naturally much stronger than them.

Some even charged at Li Xiang without any hesitation upon seeing him.

With no other choice, Li Xiang was forced to fight back.

He knew they were at fault today, but he wasn't going to just stand there and get beaten. With a defensive counterattack, he quickly knocked the person to the ground with clean and efficient moves, clearly an experienced fighter.

Seeing this, the suited men sent two more, flanking him from the left and right. Li Xiang, seeing the situation, jumped onto a table, then used the momentum to kick both in the head, efficiently taking them down as well.

Looking back, in the melee, those dropout students had passion but were no match for these suited men, and were now being beaten and running away in panic. Even the girls weren't spared; some used the chaos to commit indecent acts.

Seeing this, Li Xiang grew angry: "Stop now, or don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing no one cared about his words, Li Xiang decided not to hold back. He saw a suited man pulling on a girl's clothes and kicked him to the ground immediately.

With a surge of power, Li Xiang fought his way through, leaving no one standing after going past him.

Such explosive power instantly boosted his side's morale, shouting, "Brother Li is mighty!"

They frantically kicked the suited men Li Xiang had knocked down.

Li Xiang cleared the scene in just ten minutes, and the fight was over. The only one left standing on the other side was that Young Master Zhou, and Meili had returned to Xiaoyong's side.

"Can you listen to me now?"

No one objected. Even the once arrogant Young Master Zhou, seeing Li Xiang's prowess, became docile. As he saw Li Xiang walking towards him, he became tense: "What... what do you want?"

"Can this shirt be washed and worn again?"

"Yes, if you say it can be worn, it can be worn."

"Was this really necessary? Why cause such a scene?"

Li Xiang sighed, hearing the faint police sirens outside the hotel.

As an auxiliary police officer, he knew what kind of trouble he was in—a charge of fighting in a brawl was inevitable.

"What's going on here?"

When Young Master Zhou saw the police coming, he seemed to see a savior: "Officer, he hit people, they hit people."

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Zhou? I'll believe you hit someone, but how come the sun rose from the west today?"

The officer clearly recognized Young Master Zhou. The young man visited the station as if it was his home, and because of his powerful family background, even the chief had to treat him carefully.

Though they knew he was no good, used to being arrogant, every time they caught him, it was for trivial offenses, and he was out on bail within 24 hours.

But today, for some reason, he turned to them for help.

"Really, I didn't start it today; they got drunk and puked all over me. When I tried to reason with them, they hit me. If you don't help me, I'll tell my dad."

With that, he looked at Li Xiang smugly.

The look in his eyes clearly said: So what if you can fight? When it comes to connections, I can destroy you.

"Everyone, get up and come with me to the station for investigation."

Jinling City Public Security Bureau, Special Task Force 2·8.

Yu Chengzhang received an unexpected call: "Hello, Director Xu, what did you say? Li Xiang was arrested? What's going on?"

"Fighting in a brawl? Are you sure?"

"Okay, I'll come over immediately."

Mao Ji, overhearing that it was about Li Xiang, perked up his ears. As soon as Yu Chengzhang hung up, he exclaimed, "Chief Yu, what's happening? What happened to Li Xiang?"

"Details are unclear; I need to make a trip to Jinshuiqiao Police Station."

"I'll go with you."

"Sure, let's go."

Li Xiang was a promising talent being cultivated by Jinghai City Public Security Bureau this year; his every move concerned everyone.

With heavy hearts, they drove to Jinshuiqiao Police Station.

This was a major incident, and the chief of Jinshuiqiao Police Station couldn't cover it up, so he reported directly to the municipal bureau.

After hearing the report, Director Xu took the matter very seriously as it involved two individuals—Zhou Yuelong from Baolong Group and Li Xiang—and his first call was to Yan Xiong at the Drug Enforcement Bureau, followed by a call to Yu Chengzhang to explain the situation.

But by this time, Yan Xiong was already aware of what happened.

It turned out that at Jinyue Hotel, he had people monitoring Zhou Yuelong. When they saw the conflict break out, they immediately reported the situation to Yan Xiong. He was already pondering how to get an undercover into Zhou Yuelong's circle, and in that moment, a brilliant plan struck him.

So when Director Xu called, Yan Xiong was already on his way to discuss and refine the plan.

Meanwhile, after receiving the call, Yu Chengzhang brought Mao Ji to Jinshuiqiao Police Station, where they saw Li Xiang in the interrogation room.

"Chief Yu, Brother Mao, we meet again."

Indeed, they had met earlier that day, but in a different context—earlier as a hero, now as a criminal suspect.

"What's your situation? Weren't you told to return to Jinghai? Why didn't you go back?"

"I was going to leave after dinner, but this happened during the meal."

"Who were you dining with?"

"The reason we solved the 2·8 serial murder case was because they provided clues, which led me to Sunshine Stationery Factory. I wanted to thank them with a meal before I left, but..."

Li Xiang dared not reveal their true identities, avoiding further charges and sentences that could implicate him too.

"What's the situation? Take your time explaining, and we'll figure out a solution together." Mao Ji was equally anxious; he didn't want Li Xiang's future ruined.

Finding a good prospect in the auxiliary police was rare. With a promising future ahead, they couldn't let this incident suppress him.

"Sigh!"

Li Xiang sighed, filled with helplessness: "It's a long story..."
