But it was the first time she knew that people from the commoners' association could directly connect with people from the General Bureau.
No wonder that whenever a case involved the three people from the commoners' association, it would immediately be escalated to the General Bureau. Their police station had no record of handling any cases related to the commoners' association.
Lin Qianqian had now confirmed one thing: their police station truly had no authority to handle them!
Just then, a police officer walked in.
"Director Lin, the people from above have arrived."
Lin Qianqian's face lit up. Facing people clearly not on her level, she truly didn't want to deal with them for even a second longer. She quickly greeted the three of them and hurried away with the police officer.
Yuan Bei then said, "No rush. That company isn't going anywhere. It's the General Bureau who are being disrespectful to our commoners' association. They need to give us an explanation! I want them to invite us over!"
Dong Wen and the other person finally understood Yuan Bei's meaning. After thinking about it, they felt it was indeed the right way to go. Li Chonglou's task was, after all, a sure thing. In comparison, the prestige of their commoners' association was more important!
For a moment, they suppressed their impatience. Dong Wen sat down again and said coldly, "Brother Bei, we must make them look bad this time. Especially that Wang Ma, daring to kick us out of the car on the roadside. He absolutely cannot keep this position!"
The three of them knew Wang Ma's attitude from the start. He clearly wanted to latch onto them to gain power within the organization.
And the commoners' association had the capability to do that.
Yuan Bei nodded and said coldly, "Don't worry, our commoners' association is not made of mud!"
On the other side, as Lin Qianqian stepped out of the police station, she saw a middle-aged man with the General Bureau identification badge on his chest alighting from a General Bureau car.
Recognizing the familiar figure, Lin Qianqian quickly walked over and proactively reported, "Leader, the people are inside. Rest assured, they are being treated with the utmost hospitality."
However, to her surprise, the middle-aged man suddenly said coldly, "Utmost hospitality? Heh, Director Lin, it seems you haven't received the notification yet."
Lin Qianqian's expression clearly faltered.
But the middle-aged man did not offer further explanation. Instead, he suddenly raised his hand, and three other men immediately got out of the car.
They were also in their thirties, but Lin Qianqian instinctively felt an inexplicable pressure from them.
"Go, stabilize them first. Don't let any of them escape!"
"Yes! Captain Gu!"
The middle-aged man was Gu Wen, the third-in-command of the Enforcement Department, whom Lin Qianqian had met when she attended a meeting at the General Bureau before.
In the Enforcement Department, besides the minister, there were two major captains, and Gu Wen was one of them.
After the three men responded in unison, they instantly vanished from their positions. Sensing the wrong atmosphere, Lin Qianqian's pupils constricted abruptly. She couldn't help but ask, "Captain Gu, what happened? Are they impersonating members of the commoners' association?"
Gu Wen chuckled, "No, if they were fake, I wouldn't have brought people here. They are genuine members of the commoners' association."
Lin Qianqian became even more confused. "But, aren't the commoners' association our own people?"
Gu Wen's voice suddenly turned cold, "They were, half an hour ago. Now, that's not necessarily true."
After speaking, Gu Wen suddenly said something that left Lin Qianqian bewildered, "Speaking of which, this matter also has something to do with your old acquaintance, Xiao Lin. I didn't expect your judgment to be so good. You almost had me fooled."
With that, Gu Wen shook his head and walked straight into the police station.
Lin Qianqian stood there, utterly bewildered.
My old acquaintance? Good judgment?
What was going on!
Lin Qianqian hated encountering situations she was unaware of the most. She couldn't bother going in and directly took out her phone to contact an informant she had managed to connect with within the General Bureau.
What exactly had happened?
Meanwhile, inside the police station.
The three who had expected the General Bureau people to arrive so they could hold them accountable did not receive the reception they imagined. Instead, they encountered three presences, each at least at the sixth level.
"Who!"
As a seventh-level master, Yuan Bei was the first to sense something was wrong. He instinctively wanted to release his aura, but a cold voice soon sounded.
"This is a police station. I advise you not to make any rash moves."
The previous three suddenly appeared in the reception room. Because the police officers in the station were ordinary people, they had not released their aura. What Yuan Bei had detected was merely the fluctuation when they used their internal energy.
"General Bureau personnel?"
The two organizations were brother alliances. The badges on the chests of the three men allowed them to recognize them instantly. Yuan Bei felt a sudden sense of unease.
"What do you mean by this! Do you want to start a war with our commoners' association?"
Yuan Bei immediately invoked the commoners' association. There was no other way; the newcomers were not to be trifled with, and their strength was not weaker than theirs. Moreover, Qi Jing was still injured, and their combat power was severely compromised. It was hard to say how the battle would end.
"That remains to be seen. If you follow us obediently today, there might still be room for negotiation."
The three instantly sealed off their positions. Dong Wen, who was usually arrogant, couldn't help but feel a bit panicked.
"Are you crazy? We are people of the commoners' association!"
Yuan Bei did not expect their attitude to be so surprisingly tough, and he couldn't quite figure out their intentions.
It was at this moment that the senior management of the commoners' association finally sent information to his phone.
"Emergency situation, terminate all actions!"
As soon as Yuan Bei finished reading the message, he received a call from his boss.
Like the General Bureau, the commoners' association was also divided into four departments, each with a true head. Under the head of the Executive Department, where he belonged, there were three major captains.
Yuan Bei's position was one of the six junior captains under a major captain.
The person calling him at this moment was his superior, Duolong, one of the three major captains.
"Xiao Yuan, return immediately. The General Bureau might act against you."
Yuan Bei had followed Duolong since childhood and was his most trusted disciple. Hearing these words, his expression changed drastically, and he finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Boss, they are already here. What exactly happened?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Go along with them for now. I'll be there soon!"
With a click, the call ended.
Yuan Bei looked at the three people in front of him with a grave expression. He raised his hand, signaling Dong Wen and the other to not make any rash moves.
"What do you want."
Just then, Gu Wen also walked in.
The senior figures from both sides actually knew each other. Yuan Bei recognized Gu Wen's identity immediately.
"Captain Gu, our commoners' association and the General Bureau have always been brother alliances. What is the meaning of this matter today?"
Gu Wen sneered coldly, "Don't you know what you've done? Do you really think our General Bureau personnel are easy to bully?"
