Jiang Chen frowned, wondering if he went along with these officers, those people would definitely enforce forcefully.

"Sorry, I can't go with you now!" Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Comrade officer, he's resisting the law!" Shunzi pointed at Jiang Chen and shouted, as if he was a law-abiding citizen himself.

The officers were also displeased, thinking that carrying out an investigation was standard procedure and his assault was a fact; yet he dared to stall and refuse to go with them?

Immediately, one who appeared to be the leader stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Chen, "Who do you think you are? Hurry up and come with us, don't force us to take measures."

Jiang Chen was also impatient and without another word, pushed the other away.

"Hey, you're assaulting an officer!" the leader panicked.

The other officers were also enraged and surrounded him.

"Ha ha, you're done for," Shunzi and the others laughed out loud from the side, believing Jiang Chen was doomed.

The old men and women were also anxious, but they were powerless to help.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen glared fiercely and pointed at the leader, "Cut the crap, let me make a phone call, or I'll deal with you too!"

"Ssst..." The leading officer took a sharp breath. Damn, such audacity? Who is he?

Jiang Chen had already taken out his phone. He thought of Cheng Zhiqiang from yesterday and immediately called him.

The officers realized that Jiang Chen was pulling strings when making the phone call. Looking back at his assertive manner, they kept a wary eye, guessing that he might have connections that could smooth things over.

But Shunzi wouldn't have it, seeing that the officers had stopped moving, he rushed in front of Jiang Chen, "You little punk, still daring to make a call, hurry up... ouch."

But before he could finish speaking, Duang, Jiang Chen lifted a foot and kicked him away.

The officers were dumbstruck. This guy was bold, daring to hit someone in front of them?

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Cheng." Jiang Chen had just finished the call and turned to look at the stunned officers; "Gentlemen, please wait, you'll receive a call shortly."

The officers nodded, thinking it would be best if the call came through; if not, he'd be as good as dead.

Shunzi lay on the ground, still wanting to yell, but one glare from Jiang Chen silenced him as he clutched his stomach.

Just then, the phone of the officer leading the team rang. He picked it up and suddenly snapped to attention: "Ah, Chief... Yes... Yes, mission guaranteed."

After hanging up, the officer looked meaningfully at Jiang Chen, his expression had turned somewhat ingratiating as he extended his hand, "Hello, I'm Wang Gang, captain of the Jinhai Police Station's first squadron."

"Hello, Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen understood that Cheng Zhiqiang had made an impact; he smiled and shook hands with Wang Gang.

Wang Gang smiled at Jiang Chen, then turned to the rest of the officers, "The chief has ordered us to protect the martyr's residence from being destroyed, if anyone attempts to vandalize, take them back to the station immediately!"

"Yes!" The officers responded in unison, turning to glare at Shunzi and his gang.

Shunzi was dumbfounded; he brought the demolition permit to Wang Gang, "Captain Wang, we have the permit, it's legal demolition, why are you helping them?"

"Sorry, my orders are to protect this place. If you have any issues, you can take them up with the authorities." Wang Gang spoke without expression.

Shunzi grew desperate, pulling out his phone trying to make a call, but as soon as Jiang Chen saw, he snatched the phone away and threw it.

"Damn it, officer comrade, he threw my phone," Shunzi immediately complained.

But the officers stood still like posts, completely unresponsive.

Shunzi was truly stunned. The rest of the demolition crew were also dumbfounded, all in a daze.

Meanwhile, the elderly men and women were still confused, but they continued to stand guard, preventing any renewed forceful demolition.

After a while, several vehicles with 'Cultural Bureau' printed on them arrived, and a group of people got out carrying a plaque.

Jiang Chen's eyes brightened as a smile tugged at his lips.

"Greetings comrades, thank you for your hard work," the Cultural Bureau staff approached Wang Gang and the others, greeting them warmly.

Wang Gang glanced at the sign, a slight smile on his face, "It's not hard work, as long as it's preserved."

On the sign were the words, 'Jinhai Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.'

"Are you from the demolition company?" The person from the Cultural Bureau turned to look at Shunzi and his group.

"Yes," Shunzi nodded.

The Cultural Bureau person said in a deep voice, "I am Liu Changlin from the Cultural Bureau. This place has now been designated as a cultural relics protection unit in Jinhai City, you are not allowed to demolish it any further!"

"What? This…"

Shunzi and the demolition team were taken aback.

"Great!"

"That's wonderful!"

"This should have been protected all along!"

The crowd of elderly men and women shouted excitedly.

Liu Changlin turned to the crowd of elders, "Uncles and aunts, it's our negligence at work that almost caused this place to be forgotten. Now, with our protection, everyone can be at ease."

"Good!" The crowd of elders all spoke happily.

"It's all thanks to this young man!" An elderly woman pointed at Jiang Chen and said.

"Yes, it's all thanks to him!"

"This young man is such a good person, and capable too."

"Young man, are you married? I have a granddaughter at home, she's beautiful."

The crowd of elders all began praising Jiang Chen, and even started offering matchmaking proposals.

Meanwhile, Liu Changlin also walked up to Jiang Chen and extended his hand, saying, "Comrade, thank you. You've done us a great favor."

"It's what I should do. This place deserves protection," Jiang Chen shook hands with Liu Changlin and said with a smile.

Shunzi and his group realized there was no hope left, shot Jiang Chen a fierce glare, then turned to get into their vehicle and leave.

...

At Splendid Nightclub, Xue Tu was resting in the office.

There was a knock at the door, and Xue Tu frowned, calling out, "Come in."

The door opened, and Scarface walked in, speaking respectfully, "Brother Tu, Shunzi is here."

"Shunzi? Wasn't he in charge of the demolition? Is it done?" Xue Tu was puzzled for a moment, then nodded, "Let him in."

Scar nodded, turned, and called out at the office door, and Shunzi walked in.

"Brother Tu," Shunzi entered the office and stood to one side obediently.

Xue Tu glanced at Shunzi indifferently, "How did the demolition go?"

"Brother Tu, the thing's messed up," Shunzi spoke nervously, then with a resentful expression, "It's all because of that Jiang Chen from yesterday. If it weren't for him stopping us, we would have finished demolishing by now. That bastard made a phone call, don't know who he got in touch with, but now that area, the martyr's former residence, has been listed as a cultural relics protection unit, and we can't demolish it anymore."

"Bang—"

"What? How is this kid everywhere!" Xue Tu slammed his palm on the table, stood up abruptly, then turned with a fierce expression, "Scar, check for me, add in the Cobra side of things, and you investigate too, I want everything on this kid. If he dares to go against me, Xue Tu, I'll make sure he's dead!"

"Yes!" Scar responded loudly, turned, and walked out of the office to arrange the investigation.
