Yuan Bei's boss did not arrive in time due to some unspecified reason, and as members of the Civilian Association, they were being held back by the General Bureau. Anger and displeasure were evident in the eyes of Yuan Bei and the other two.
However, due to Gu Wen's strength, the three did not act out.
The one who spoke was a captain from the Combat Association.
The internal structures of the three factions were basically the same, which was for the sake of coordination between them.
Therefore, the status of the speaker was equal to that of Gu Wen, and Gu Wen stopped.
"Old Fang, long time no see."
Although his voice was a little cold, it was considered a greeting.
Old Fang was around the same age as Gu Wen, both in their prime middle age, but he always had a faint smile on his face, appearing somewhat kind.
Even though Gu Wen's attitude was somewhat cold, he still said with a smile, "Old Gu, are you really going to go to war with the Civilian Association? Do you have to do this yourself?"
Gu Wen's brows immediately furrowed, "Old Fang, are you going to stand up for them?"
Old Fang immediately waved his hand, "Don't pin me down. I just can't stand it. I'm afraid it will be our Combat Association's turn next."
This guy was clearly on the side of the Civilian Association!
Gu Wen's expression also turned cold. Old Fang was an old friend he had known since he was young. Although their relationship was not close, they were not enemies.
He did not expect that the first person to stand up for the Civilian Association would be him.
But Gu Wen was not one to be bullied, so he immediately responded coldly, "Old Fang, shouldn't only the lower-level personnel understand the cause of this matter? If you keep talking nonsense to me, believe it or not, I'll cripple you right now!"
The onlookers' expressions changed drastically. They never expected Gu Wen to be so tough!
Old Fang, as the person involved, was even more stunned.
"Old Gu, you!"
Gu Wen ignored him and continued to walk inside, leaving only a sentence: "If you want a one-on-one fight, apply for a challenge, and I'll accept!"
Gu Wen's strength was slightly stronger than Yuan Bei's. Although he had not reached the eighth level, there was still a difference between peak experts.
It was like Du Tian and Dong Wen. Both were at the fifth level, but Du Tian was completely suppressed by Dong Wen, unable to even retaliate!
Gu Wen and Old Fang were also like this.
However, it was Gu Wen who was stronger, not Old Fang. Therefore, although Old Fang's face turned dark, he dared not speak again.
Yuan Bei and the other two lowered their heads again.
They did not want to cause trouble for others, otherwise, their Civilian Association would owe too many favors.
After entering, the group of seven soon encountered another person blocking their way.
This time, it was someone from the Civilian Association.
Yuan Bei and the other two felt the group stop and instinctively looked up, their faces filled with joy.
"Boss!"
Yuan Bei exclaimed in surprise and even wanted to go forward, but he was stopped by the other two.
The person who arrived was Duolong, one of the three captains of the Civilian Association.
Duolong was younger than Gu Wen, but their strength was comparable. In terms of talent, Gu Wen was naturally inferior.
But in reality, few people would compare talent with you. If you can win, you win; if you can't, you can't. What matters is absolute strength.
Therefore, Gu Wen still had no polite words.
"What is it, wait until after the trial before we talk. Even if your会長 comes now, he can't take him away!"
Yuan Bei still didn't quite understand the seriousness of the matter. He had no idea that his actions had almost led to an all-out war between two top factions!
So at this moment, seeing his boss present, Yuan Bei could no longer hold back and said, "Gu Wen! Even if we made a mistake, it's not your place to judge right or wrong! Our Civilian Association is not a subordinate of your General Bureau!"
Gu Wen turned his head and glanced at him coldly, "If you spout more nonsense, believe it or not, I'll cripple you right now!"
"You dare!"
Gu Wen sneered, "You said it yourself."
As he spoke, an aura far exceeding the seventh level suddenly emerged. Yuan Bei's face changed drastically. He never expected Gu Wen to actually dare to act at this time!
Just then, Duolong finally spoke, "Little Yuan, be patient for a while longer."
Yuan Bei was stunned.
"Boss, why should we be afraid of them?"
Duolong's expression changed slightly.
"Little Yuan, things are not as you think. I'll explain to you when we get back. For now, listen to him, or even the会長 can't protect you."
Yuan Bei and the other two were stunned. They never expected things to escalate to this point.
But they were just carrying out their mission according to the intelligence within the association. Although they had received instructions from others, they were still acting according to the rules!
How did the three of them become sinners of the association?
However, Gu Wen clearly wouldn't give Duolong time to explain. He simply waved his hand, signaling the three to continue escorting the person.
Duolong could only watch with a dark expression and consciously moved aside.
His appearance this time was also to test Gu Wen's attitude.
As the seven figures gradually disappeared, Duolong couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the General Bureau is serious this time. But is it worth it, just for one Dragon Team?"
He couldn't figure out this question. Although the Dragon Team was considered a core team of the General Bureau with extraordinary status, it was not enough to warrant such action.
Now, the General Bureau's attitude was clear: if this matter was not handled properly, they would indeed go to war with their Civilian Association at all costs!
"It seems this matter is not that simple."
Duolong's expression changed slightly, and then he turned to leave.
After everyone had left, several figures also emerged from the side.
"Strange, did the General Bureau eat gunpowder this time? Why does it seem like they really want to fight?"
"Tch, if it were you, could you tolerate it? Your own people are being trampled on."
The matter of Li Chonglou had already spread throughout the three major factions due to its seriousness, and its cause was widely known. Some people felt that the General Bureau was making a fuss over nothing, while others felt that the Civilian Association had gone too far.
"Forget it. Whatever we say is useless. Let's leave the matter to the trial committee to handle. I believe they just want a fair result, and it's impossible for them to fight."
"Isn't that obvious? Everyone just wants to save face. However, after this incident, the cooperation between the two sides might become more difficult."
Meanwhile, Long Shi also brought Li Chonglou to Beigang.
Seeing the place they had just left less than half a day ago and returned to, Li Chonglou felt a sense of emotion.
"By the way, where in the barracks is this supervisor's office?"
Long Shi also knew that Li Chonglou had just come out, so he asked curiously, "You haven't been there? Don't new recruits go to see the supervisor's office first?"
Li Chonglou shook his head, "I've only been to Camp No. 3, and there's no supervisor's office there."
Long Shi suddenly realized, "No wonder. The supervisor's office is in Camp No. 1. I thought you had been to all three camps."
