The Forty-Ninth Encounter

  Zhao Guotong had already made his move, noticing the young man's actions as he carelessly swam through the crowd with quick and agile steps, his movements light and silent. He was obviously a skilled practitioner, but somehow didn't seem to fit in with this kind of work, or shouldn't be appearing in this sort of situation.

  A plainly dressed middle-aged man seemed to have noticed nothing of the young person who had brushed past him, his eyes wandering vaguely in all directions as if searching for something.

  With a nimble movement and a casual bow, the young man's figure returned to normal, quickly leaving, but Zhao Guodong rushed forward and blocked his body.

  "Take it out."

  "What?" The young man's face was angry, but the tension that flashed in his eyes could not be hidden.

  Zhao Guotong's smile remained unchanged on his face, "Bring it out! This is my territory, don't provoke me."

  "How dare you!" The young man's face turned red with rage, seemingly infuriated by Zhao Guotang's expression. His hand, which had been inserted into his jacket pocket, flashed out like lightning and swung towards Zhao Guotang, creating a whistling sound in the air.

  "Hmph, a grain of rice dares to shine brightly?" Zhao Guotang's body slanted to the side, letting his opponent's palm pass by, and with one hand, he precisely struck his opponent's elbow, his fingers inadvertently taking out what he wanted from his opponent's bosom. However, after getting it in his hands, he felt somewhat surprised - an extremely ordinary rubber notebook.

  The young man's eyes turned red, and his face lost a lot!

  Hui Ge and others were watching from the side, he was actually embarrassed in front of a peer of similar age to himself, how could he mix in the future?

  With a twist of his body, he launched a punch. Using one leg to borrow force, it was a sideways kick. Directly attacking Zhao Guodong's upper and middle sections, the move was completed in one breath!

  "Huh? There are still two more moves left." Zhao Guotang's expression didn't change, but in his heart he was also startled. This guy's skills weren't bad at all, and what about the other three on the side, wouldn't they be even stronger?

  Although he thought so in his heart, his hands didn't retreat at all. With a swift kick, he opened up the opponent's sharp leg, and with a punch, he ruthlessly blocked the opponent's stabbing fist. At the same time, he transformed his fist into a palm and grasped the opponent's pulse point. With a light pinch, the opponent's body went limp. "Youngster, it seems only your family elder can take you away now."

  "Let go! Do you know who I am?" The young man endured the numbness and pain in his entire arm, wanting to struggle, but his whole body couldn't exert any strength, and could only grit his teeth and resist, with sweat beads on his forehead, obviously Zhao Guodong's move was very vicious.

  "I don't care who you are, this is my dock. I warned you not to cause trouble for me, but it seems like you're ignoring me." Zhao Guodong's face darkened, and a fierce aura seeped out.

  The rapid and urgent footsteps came from behind, Zhao Guotang didn't pay attention to it, he knew it must be the opponent's accomplices, but he didn't think they dared to provoke law enforcement in broad daylight.

  "Little brother, let him go, my brother doesn't understand things, I apologize on his behalf." The bespectacled man clasped his fists together.

  Zhao Guodong cast a slanted glance at the other party, seeing that the burly man with a horse face next to the bespectacled man seemed still somewhat indignant. With a cold smile, he said: "I think you should understand the rules, I've already warned you, why do you still dare to offend me? Do you think I'm weak and can be bullied?"

  "Haha, little brother, I'm sure you've also figured it out. My brother didn't mean anything by it, he was just feeling a bit restless." The bespectacled man smiled candidly, his face apologetic. "Honestly, we're not in that line of work. Even if we were, we wouldn't come here, right?"

  Zhao Guo Tong gazed at the other person for a long time, his sinister gaze even making the bespectacled man who thought himself to be worldly and experienced slightly change color before he finally nodded and waved his hand to let go of the young man with the crooked teeth. "Alright, you've convinced me, this time I'll let it slide. Remember, no matter where you are or what skills you have, **'s sky is not one that can be overturned. Don't provoke unnecessary trouble."

  "Haha, little brother, you're quite interesting. Want to be friends? My name is Qiao Hui, and people usually call me Xiao Hui or Hui Ge." The bespectacled man didn't abruptly extend his hand; he just smiled and waited for the other's reaction.

  This young man in front of me is indeed a bit outspoken, but he's undoubtedly someone worth getting to know. Not to mention his skills, his reaction and demeanor are not simple either.

  "My surname is Zhao, and I'm from the Jiangmiao police station. This is my jurisdiction." Zhao Guotang hesitated for a moment before responding. He neither agreed nor directly refused the other party, who was right that this young man wasn't in that line of work. With his skills, he didn't seem to need to make a living like this, but rather just wanted to show off in front of his companions.

  "Alright, little brother, today Qiao Hui has granted your wish. We'll leave first, and we'll meet again someday." The bespectacled man was also very carefree and straightforward, without any unnecessary chatter. He waved goodbye after a brief gesture, and then left with the three people.

  Zhao Guotong suddenly noticed that several people had disappeared, and then he weighed the rubber notebook in his hand, walking towards a middle-aged man who had been watching from the side, "Brother, is this thing yours? Come on, let's return it to its rightful owner."

  "Hehe, thank you. This thing may not be worth much money, but it has the contact information of some old comrades on it. If I lose it, I might never be able to get in touch with them again." The middle-aged man was tall and sturdy, with a strong build, short hair, and looked to be in his forties, but he was full of energy.

  "Hmm, then you'd better take good care of it, but that kid just wanted to show off anyway. Otherwise, the wallet in your pocket would have been gone." Zhao Guodong also smiled and said, "Next time, maybe we won't be so lucky."

  "Little brother, you're a public security officer, why don't you arrest them?" The middle-aged man seemed to be very curious about Zhao Guotang's behavior.

  "Hmm, they didn't commit a crime, so why arrest them? Even if it was the guy who stole your laptop, he didn't intentionally commit a crime, he just wanted to show off. Moreover, this laptop is very important to you, but in the eyes of the law, it's only worth its monetary value, which isn't enough to constitute a crime. Giving him a warning should be sufficient." Zhao Guodong explained calmly, feeling that the guy seemed to be looking for trouble.

  "It's not a crime, is it against the law then?" The middle-aged man continued to pursue.

  "It can be counted, but it depends on how you look at it, so I gave him a verbal warning." Zhao Guotang narrowed his eyes, what, still wanting to interfere with his own disposal power?

  The middle-aged man also seemed to have noticed the stiffness in Zhao Guotang's words, and smiled, "Little brother, I didn't mean anything else, just exploring a bit. To be honest, I really should thank you for helping me get this thing back."

  "No need to be polite, it's what I should do." Zhao Guotang also smiled, "Judging from your accent, Uncle seems to be a local?"

  "How can you still make out my accent?" The middle-aged man's eyebrows rose in surprise, as if he didn't dare to believe it.

  "Hmm, big brother's accent has changed a lot, but the tail of your pronunciation still has the unique flavor of our side. And just now I saw you looking around over there, seemingly with a nostalgic and sentimental expression. I reckon you must be from this side originally." Zhao Guodong didn't hide anything either.

  "Ah?" The middle-aged man did not expect Zhao Guo to be so meticulous in his observation, and nodded in approval, pointing south. "I'm from Pingchuan, but just next to Daguan Kou, I often came here to play when I was a kid, after joining the army for over 20 years, things have changed, people are gone, it's really nostalgic for the carefree days of childhood."

  Zhao Guotun pulled out a cigarette and handed one to the other person, then stuffed the pack back into his pocket. "The big view of the mouth hasn't changed much, especially this old street on this side still retains its original flavor. On the first and fifteenth of every month, it's like a holiday, bustling with excitement. People from Pingchuan, Jiangkou, Meixian, and even farther away all come here to meet up."

  "Hmm, this side belongs to the Jiang Temple Police Station, right? You guys aren't supposed to come here on duty every first and fifteenth of each month?" The middle-aged man saw Zhao Guotang put away his cigarette, looked a bit surprised, but still lit up his own cigarette.
