"Gathering to fight is already a criminal offense. The main culprits and active participants will be sentenced. Even if you're not the main culprit, you're still an active participant. All those people were knocked down by you. Fortunately, you were measured in your actions, and they only have superficial injuries. The sentencing might not be too severe. If a resolution can be reached, you might even get a suspended sentence."

Yu Chengzhang listened with a frown; this matter had already blown up and completely exceeded his ability to handle it.

"Really? A prison sentence? What's the situation with a resolution? The other party seems to have quite a background, but I only hit his underlings. It shouldn't be that hard to deal with, right?"

"Don't be naive. Even if you hit his dogs, he thinks you're hitting his face."

Mao Ji saw that Li Xiang was still so naive at this time, and he became anxious, turning to Yu Chengzhang, "If this is the case, Li Xiang's chances of official promotion are gone, Yu, please think of a solution!"

A promising talent like him having his future ruined over this event would truly be a pity for Li Xiang.

It's said that the second-class merit Li Xiang earned last time had already been approved by the bureau. This time he was called back to receive the award.

If the first-class merit gets approved this time, Li Xiang's path to official promotion would naturally be smooth and without obstacles.

But all this would leave a stain on his record due to this group fight, making him revert in the political evaluation stage.

He might not even be able to become an auxiliary police officer.

This is how serious it is.

"This has already violated the criminal law; it's not a minor security case. I'll report it to Director Song to see if he has any good solutions. Li Xiang, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. We'll think of a way to help you. What you need to do now is to cooperate with the officers at Jinshuiqiao Police Station."

Although they are the police, they cannot intervene in other jurisdictions, so they can only comfort Li Xiang for now.

"Yes, I will cooperate well, thank you for visiting me."

After Yu Chengzhang left, he immediately called Director Song, explaining the situation to him.

After hearing this, Director Song, in his anxiety, said nonsense, "If he's okay, what is he doing in Jinling? If he were in Jinghai, I could handle things. But causing trouble on someone else's territory, what can I do?"

It was clear that he thought highly of Li Xiang; transferring from auxiliary police to police is hard enough, and the opportunities are scarce and seldom given out.

His intention in calling Li Xiang back this time was one part for receiving the second-class merit award and another in facilitating his official promotion. The promotion report and the medal were still on his desk.

Now this little rascal has gotten him into trouble.

"You guys handle your cases first. I'll discuss this matter with Director Xu and see if there's any solution. The favor I just received hasn't even warmed up in my hand, and I'm already having to use it. So be it, it's all for Xiang's sake."

The favor from the 2:8 mannequin case, because of Li Xiang, Director Xu owed Director Song. Now, who would have thought this favor would be returned so quickly.

Thinking of this, Song Jun, after contemplating for a while, ultimately called Xu Yuanjie.

"Director Xu, it's me, Song Jun."

"Old Song, I figured you couldn't resist calling me. I'll help, but this time, the other group Li Xiang fought with has a powerful background. However, you shouldn't worry. This incident might be an opportunity for Li Xiang."

"What opportunity?"

After hearing this, Song Jun felt less tense. At least Director Xu wasn't standing by, so there was still hope.

"Don't ask about this. I'm not in a position to say much."

Xu Yuanjie hung up the phone and turned to Yan Xiong, "See, Song Jun values this kid so much that he personally called."

Yan Xiong smiled, "Sometimes fate is truly remarkable. On my trip to Jinghai, after getting to know Li Xiang, I realized he's not quite suitable to be undercover. After returning, I found a more suitable candidate in the special police team, but I was worried about how to send him over without arousing Zhou Yuelong's suspicion. I didn't expect this opportunity to come up."

"Do you have a plan now?" Xu Yuanjie asked curiously.

"Yes, Zhou Yuelong is lacking skilled people around him. After this conflict, all his bodyguards were knocked down by Li Xiang. Considering his character, he definitely won't let this slide."

"Isn't Li Xiang in danger then? That kid Zhou Yuelong is ruthless, the 6:12 case is still fresh in our minds."

Xu Yuanjie understood Zhou Yuelong's ruthless nature perfectly; getting on his bad side could have severe consequences. At the least, Li Xiang would be beaten badly if not worse.

"We've considered that. The provincial anti-gang unit will be stationed in Jinling City next week. When they're there, Zhou Yuelong should restrain himself a bit. If a murder occurs now, he wouldn't escape easily."

"That's good, at least Li Xiang's life has some protection. What's your plan next?"

"By causing a conflict with Li Xiang, Zhou Yuelong will realize he's still missing top-tier fighters by his side. I'm planning to use this opportunity to have Zhou Yuelong recruit an undercover agent, which will lower his guard."

"Brilliant! Should we inform Li Xiang about this?"

"We should tell him, otherwise I'm worried that unpredictable factors might occur during the execution of the plan. What if he injures the undercover agent?"

"Ah, that's true."

-----------------

Three days later.

During these three days, Li Xiang stayed in the interrogation room for eating, drinking, and everything else, like being confined without a phone or books to kill time. He could only sit there and stare out the window, daydreaming, and thinking about many things.

Three days passed, and no one came to check on him again, as if he had been abandoned by the world.

Thinking about the possible consequence of imprisonment, he felt a sense of open-mindedness instead.

He didn't harbor resentment towards Chen Long and the others who got him into this desperate situation; blaming others is just the fury of the incompetent.

He had been sailing smoothly for this past month, but life is full of hardships. If it's your tribulation, you can't escape it even if you try.

Actually, not being a cop wouldn't be so bad, and Chen Long's suggestion was good. Once out, starting a martial arts gym together, and if he stops solving cases and focuses on running the gym, he could achieve financial freedom.

But, is starting a gym truly what he wants?

What does he really want?

Working as an auxiliary police officer for meager wages for three years, now talking about giving it up, Li Xiang felt really unwilling to let go.

Just as he was lost in thought, the door of the interrogation room opened once again.

"It's not mealtime yet, is it?"

Li Xiang thought it was the person delivering food, but on second thoughts, the timing was off.

When he saw the visitor, he was taken aback, "Yan Bureau, why is it you?"

Yan Xiong came in and smelled the strange odor in the room, immediately pinching his nose, "Even now, you're still thinking about food?"

"What else? I'm a criminal, if I don't think about eating, what else can I think about?"

"Do you still want to be a policeman?"

"Before you came, I did, but after you arrived, I don't anymore."
