Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 605 - 605 601 Finally Taking Action

605: Chapter 601 Finally Taking Action 605: Chapter 601 Finally Taking Action (Once again, to explain: Because Chapter 595 was blocked yesterday and released this morning, some friends saw the update but found it was a repeated chapter.

I apologize to everyone here.

I must emphasize that I did not post any repeated chapters.

Also, if you find the storyline incoherent, please go back and check Chapter 599, “The Secluded Residence Has Its Charms.” Thank you.)

The next morning, as soon as Ye Fan arrived at the office, he called Xu Xiangli, Wang Xianzhong, and Miao Jian in.

“Can we speed up the cleanup around the campus?” Ye Fan asked Xu Xiangli and the other two, “I hope to act quickly and expedite the process.”

Though he had taught a lesson to a thug pressuring a girl to be his girlfriend the night before, when he went home and lay in bed, he couldn’t sleep much.

It wasn’t that his moral standards were particularly high; he simply couldn’t bear to see so many students bullied by thugs and misbehaving classmates, with some girls even being forced into relationships.

Xu Xiangli immediately said, “We will start cracking down on the thugs around the campus as soon as possible.”

Wang Xianzhong and Miao Jian also nodded in agreement.

Seeing Xu Xiangli and the others agreeing, Ye Fan nodded and said, “Then go back and get started as soon as possible.”

Ye Fan no longer wanted to waste words; he just wanted them to act quickly.

After Xu Xiangli and the others left, Ye Fan walked back to his desk, sat down, and reviewed the detailed report on campus security recently submitted by Xu Xiangli.

Fortunately, only the area surrounding the third middle school was in a dire state, with other schools not being as problematic.

As for Mingde High School, there were almost no thugs in the vicinity.

About half an hour later, a knock on the door sounded, and Ye Fan said, “Come in.”

The door opened, and to his surprise, Xu Xiangli entered.

“Director Xu, what’s the matter?” Ye Fan put his work on hold and asked.

Xu Xiangli approached, saying, “Nothing much, just that I heard something on the grapevine and thought it necessary to report to you.”

“Oh?

What news?” Ye Fan inquired.

“Hmm, good, I’ve got it,” Ye Fan nodded, “Thank you.”

Xu Xiangli giggled with a smile.

Ye Fan said, “Let’s concentrate on our work and avoid getting caught up in any disputes.

Please relay this to Team Wang and Miao Jian as well.”

“Yes,” Xu Xiangli replied.

After Xu Xiangli left, Ye Fan pondered for a moment: This news had finally spread; presumably, other leaders were aware of it now.

At noon, just as Ye Fan began eating in the cafeteria, he suddenly felt someone approach his table.

As he looked up, he saw Deputy Director Zhang Jiangzhen standing in front of him with a tray of food, looking at him.

“Ha ha, please take a seat, Director Zhang,” Ye Fan greeted him with a smile.

“Ha ha, then I won’t be shy about joining you,” Zhang Jiangzhen said with a smile, placing his tray on the table and sitting down across from Ye Fan.

Zhang Jiangzhen was the deputy director in charge of the county traffic police, a position with significant authority and perks.

He was one of the deputy directors with strong prospects for rising to chief.

After sitting down, Zhang Jiangzhen made casual conversation with Ye Fan, asked how he was settling into Mingde County and if he had been assigned a dormitory yet.

There was no serious business; it was just small talk aimed at building rapport.

It was only when Ye Fan was nearly finished with his meal that Zhang Jiangzhen revealed his purpose, inviting Ye Fan to have dinner together that evening.

“Ha ha, I’m flattered by Director Zhang’s invitation,” Ye Fan chuckled, “However, the Public Security Division is currently undertaking an initiative to improve security around the campuses, and the next two or three days are crucial.

As the main leader, I dare not be absent for a moment.”

Zhang Jiangzhen’s smile faltered slightly.

Ye Fan then said, “I’ve been here for less than a month, and all I want to do is focus on my responsibilities, remaining oblivious to other matters.

Moreover, I don’t have the capability to manage them.”

Zhang Jiangzhen could tell what it meant, Ye Fan wasn’t vying for the director’s seat and wasn’t taking sides, remaining completely neutral.

“Hehe, I admire the work attitude of Commissar Ye.

I wish you smooth sailing with your work,” Zhang Jiangzhen said with a smile.

Since Ye Fan wasn’t supporting anyone, he didn’t mind.

After all, Ye Fan had been at the police station for less than a month, and his support couldn’t play much of a role.

“Thank you,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

After dinner, Ye Fan went to the dormitory to rest.

Last week, with Xu Lixiang’s help, the furniture was purchased and had been left to off-gas for a few days; now, it was finally ready to move into.

Though he wouldn’t stay at night, at least he could use it for a nap and a break at noon.

Because Ye Fan urged them, Xu Xiangli and the others accelerated their efforts.

The original plan was to carry out the operation to catch the hoodlums on Thursday, but now they could act tonight.

However, due to the limited number of officers and an abundance of hoodlums, especially those around Mingde High School, they couldn’t conduct operations around several schools simultaneously.

They decided to focus their efforts on catching the hoodlums around Mingde High School first.

Students finished their evening self-study around nine-thirty, so Ye Fan and over twenty police officers set out together.

Ten minutes before the school ended evening self-study, they surrounded the hoodlums from all sides.

These hoodlums, before Mingde High School finished evening self-study, gathered almost entirely outside the school gates, making noise, waiting to flaunt their power when the students left school, to collect protection fees, bully students, and even take girls out to rent rooms.

Ye Fan and his men, dressed in plain clothes, gradually approached the school gates.

Ye Fan, with his excellent eyesight, saw Huang Chenglong was there, and even the long-haired hoodlum, whose hand he had disabled the night before, was there.

The hoodlum’s one hand was wrapped in white gauze, and his face was full of resentment.

Ye Fan counted the number of people—there were twenty-one, even more than the previous night, almost equal to the number of police officers.

As Ye Fan and the others closed in from all sides, and when they were about ten meters away, these hoodlums finally noticed Ye Fan and his group.

However, since all the police officers were in plain clothes, the hoodlums did not realize they were police at first and thought they were hoodlums from another territory coming to take over their spot, preparing to confront and drive away Ye Fan and his officers.

Very soon, though, some of the hoodlums recognized the faces of some officers and cried out in fear, “It’s the police!!!”

With that scream, all the hoodlums began to scatter in all directions.

Ye Fan and his colleagues also shouted loudly, “Police!

Freeze!

Don’t move!” as they waved their batons and quickly closed in.

However, these hoodlums had no intention of stopping; they ran even faster.

The number of hoodlums was almost equal to that of the police, and without a chance of opening fire, the hoodlums frantically ran away.

It was clear that they couldn’t catch all of them, and it would be good to catch even half.

However, Ye Fan hated these hoodlums intensely and couldn’t let them escape.

Ye Fan disregarded causing a sensation and charged forward, lightning-fast.

Wielding a rubber truncheon, he went after the fleeing hoodlums.

Bang bang bang…

The dense sounds of a rubber truncheon hitting flesh echoed as Ye Fan struck like lightning, delivering blows satisfyingly and venting the frustration of the past few days.

Ahh ahh ahh…

The hoodlums hit by Ye Fan’s rubber baton fell to the ground, rolling and screaming in agony, losing the strength to run away.

In a matter of seconds, the hoodlums trying to scatter in all directions were rolling on the ground; not a single one could escape.

The other police officers, having witnessed the whole process, were utterly dumbfounded.

Is the commissar even human?

Are we sure this isn’t a movie?

They had thought it would be a feat to catch even half of the hoodlums with all their efforts, only to find that their leader had managed to handle all the hoodlums by himself.
