Chapter 2, Chaoyang Masses

Half an hour later, a dilapidated hover car slowly came to a stop at the main entrance of Tianjing University in the upper city. The back door opened, and a spirited young man stepped out.

I am an outsider

"Enough! Wang Chaoyang, let me tell you, this is the Public Security Bureau, not a crosstalk teahouse"

The driver in the driver's seat reluctantly waved goodbye and started the hover car to turn and leave

As the people from the Galaxy Association arrived at the door, Master Wang maintained his smile, picked up his phone, dialed three digits, and then said in a very low voice: "Hello, I am a good citizen, Wang, and I have an important situation to report to the police..."

What the heck, has it crashed?

If the other party still does not recognize what is good for them, he would not hesitate to drive the blade directly into the young man's heart

Seeing the police officer's anger, Master Wang, who was using the alias Wang Chaoyang, had no choice but to leave awkwardly

Enough! We will conduct a thorough interrogation regarding the issues concerning those individuals. Now that your notes are complete, you may leave.

Silver Time Zone

Regarding the art of deception in romantic pursuits, Old Feng, you are truly the expert. From innocent younger sisters to domineering female CEOs, all fall within the realm of your influence, with unparalleled skills in sowing seeds.

Master Wang smiled and said: "You young men are truly adorably naive. This is the core area of the capital of Huaxia, right in the renowned campus of Tianjing University. If you threaten someone with a knife here, and it happens to attract the attention of the police, the soap in the detention center could be..."

For example, the newly opened Seventh Canteen at Tianjing University today is located in a clearing surrounded by trees not far from the main entrance. Here, even those who are not students of the university can enjoy delicious meals worthy of a prestigious institution by simply paying an additional 30% management fee. However, the only ones who are aware of this news, apart from the university students, are a few well-informed food enthusiasts.

Master Wang, please accompany us for a trip

Master Wang has always been very warm towards his peers

On the other side, Master Wang had long forgotten the lively conversation from earlier, walking briskly into the campus.

Before long, having had his fill of food and drink, Master Wang rose to leave in the gaze of the waitress filled with anticipation

So have you lost your reputation and ability? Miss Wen, who fell in love with you at first sight, truly cannot rest in peace

Behind Master Wang stands an experienced hand, unperturbed, who quietly admonishes: "Do you not wish to live?!"

In the next moment, the driver felt a chill around his neck as a bright dagger was pressed against his throat

The person immediately tensed up and retracted their hand, only to realize that there were no cufflinks on their sleeve, and when has the Milky Way ever issued cufflinks with a logo

Hahaha, such a naive reaction, you must be a single man

The young man known as Old Wang smiled and pressed his hand against the mirror's surface, causing new writing to suddenly appear on the mirror.

After finishing the last period, Master Wang gave a slap to the mirror, causing the ghostly light on the surface to completely fade, rendering the writing behind it illegible. Meanwhile, the smile of the person in the mirror gradually became radiant

Wang Chaoyang, is it really that simple?

Upon having their identity exposed, the first person appeared somewhat nervous and asked, "How did you know?"

The staff member lying on the ground was dumbfounded, nearly dislocating his jaw

Unfortunately, the well-trained capital police did not leave them much time for reflection. Soon, seven or eight fully armed police officers rushed over, pinning the three officials and Master Wang to the ground. One of the police officers, accompanied by a police dog, circled around the leading official. After a series of barks, the police officer pulled out a large bag of white powder from the official's pants pocket.

As he sipped strong tea to soothe his throat, he was already formulating material in his mind for bragging to his wife and children when he got home that evening: After so many years in this line of work, what kind of passengers have I not encountered? ... A top student from Tianjing University, far superior to you all, I engaged him in lively conversation ...

"Once again, I never deceive others nor do I sow discord. You should not so frantically tarnish someone's reputation. The rumors you spread about me on the deep web forum last time have already caused serious damage to my reputation"

In the next moment, several blinding white lights suddenly converged from all directions, causing the three officials to be momentarily blinded. At the same time, a loudspeaker erupted with a deafening sound

Master Wang was taken aback for a moment: "Kill me ten times? Then you better be quick about it"

The driver is a typical resident of Tianjing, and with a raised eyebrow, he launches into a long monologue: "Oh, brother, are you a student at Tianjing University? Well, thanks to you, I’m also going to the upper city today to see what it’s like... Last year, I hitchhiked a ride in the upper city, and as a result, the traffic management bureau revoked my pass. Damn it, I’ve been a Tianjing resident for over forty years, and now I can’t even enter my own territory. Sigh, tell me, isn’t the regulation between the upper and lower cities ridiculous? They say places like Tianjing University and Qingzhu University are open to all Tianjing residents, but they are located in the upper city. How do you expect those without a pass from the lower city to feel about that? Brother, the students at Tianjing University have their tuition and living expenses waived, right? That must be funded by the state, right? The state’s money should be our taxpayers’ money, right? Don’t you think we taxpayers are getting the short end of the stick?"

Old friend, seeing you still so full of energy truly puts my mind at ease

We are the Public Security Bureau of Tianjing City. We have received reports from the public suspecting that you are harboring drugs and participating in drug use and trafficking. Immediately put down your weapons and surrender!

Master Wang appeared to be reluctant to conclude: "I actually have many more clues that I can provide for your reference. Is that it? Should I share another segment?"

Shut up

Where are the two of you going

Today, Master Wang appears to be no more than twenty years old, with clear brows and bright eyes, and a handsome face. He is a young man who should be diligently studying in an ivory tower, exuding a strong scholarly aura. However, when he changes into a set of monochrome casual attire and slings a canvas bag over his shoulder, he becomes indistinguishable from the university students that can be seen everywhere.

... ...

As he spoke, Master Wang's watch vibrated, indicating a message alert. He raised his hand to check it, shook his head and smiled, then took down a curtain to cover the dressing mirror and stretched out with a long yawn

Roll away, I don't want to eat. By the way, be careful lately, there are some troublemakers in Tianjing City, it may not be so peaceful.

Rest assured, I have no interest in such a despicable organization as the Galactic Association

Tianjing City Public Security? Drug use and trafficking? What on earth is going on?

This is a small yet exquisite studio apartment. On the wardrobe door in the bedroom hangs an antique dressing mirror. In front of the mirror, a young man is carefully combing his thick black hair. The face reflected in the mirror is clean and neat, full of vitality, especially those lively and spirited eyes, which evoke a sense of admiration for the beauty of youth.

Although he is not an alumnus, given that he is so handsome, it is evident that the girls are still willing to give him some attention

As everyone in Tianjing City knows, Tianjing University is the most prestigious institution of higher learning in Huaxia, encompassing both the mother planet and thirteen colonial planets. Its campus is completely open, allowing outsiders to visit freely, and a considerable portion of the facilities on campus are open to the public.

As the conversation progressed, the smile gradually faded

The young Master Wang paused for a moment, then enthusiastically continued: "Indeed, I have always believed that the current tax and public expenditure system in China is quite unreasonable. Last year, my mentor and I conducted research on this issue and formulated policy recommendations. We believe that the urban-rural dual structure should have been reformed long ago, but the relevant policies have been monopolized by interest groups..." We believe that the urban-rural dual structure should have been reformed long ago, but the relevant policies have been monopolized by interest groups...

Seeing that you can still stand out gives me peace of mind

Very well, next we are preparing to have a meal

Ah, Tianjing University, I am back again

At that time, I was truly overwhelmed with anxiety; it was the first time in my life that I was so close to death. In that moment, I profoundly realized the brevity of life

Haha, the one who should take more care of themselves is you, enduring overtime during the passionate romance with President Wen. May I ask, can a brave man still stand firm?

The hover car had not left the school gate for long when two sharply dressed young men suddenly waved for a ride by the roadside. The driver perked up, as passengers from the upper town often had generous spending habits, especially those whose every detail exuded the aura of elite individuals.

Are you subtly mocking me, who has just settled in Tianjing

The girl had no choice but to leave a sweet smile as she turned to leave, while casually leaving a few stacks of napkins on the table—on the topmost one, there was also a number written, which appeared to be a phone number

... ...

Comrade police, I am not joking at all. The entire process was exactly as I described: I happened to see these three individuals carrying something that appeared to be drugs on campus, so I called the police. I truly did not expect it to be flour. Who puts flour in a transparent plastic bag? That's absurd! Moreover, your police dog seemed to be barking quite happily.

Go to Tianjing University

Where the hell did this come from? This, this is not mine

I see, please wait a moment. The young man casually wrote a series of neatly written numbers on a napkin and handed it over, saying, "Then I will trouble you with this."

Humans are changeable

Using words to play with homophones, you are even more boring than before! Forget it, I won't chat with you idly. Do you have time to go out for a meal? It has been a while since we last met, I will treat you.

Isn't there a logo engraved on your cufflinks

The night outside the cafeteria was hazy, and the lush trees appeared particularly gentle under the glow of the streetlights. On the narrow path through the woods, three male students were approaching, laughing and chatting. As the path was narrow, Master Wang stepped aside to make way. However, just as they brushed past each other, the three of them suddenly reached out simultaneously, pressing down on his shoulders, with two sharp blades held against his waist and chest.

The police officer sneered, "What are you pretending for? If it is not yours, is it mine?"

"Oh? Is that so? Then were you recommended by someone from our school?" As she spoke, the girl quietly turned her head to glance at the manager, and seeing that he was attending to something else, she softly said, "You can also tell me your friend's student ID."

Wow, Lao Wang, is that really you? Is it that time of the month again? You’ve changed to such a fresh and youthful face, are you planning to deceive someone for a fling?

Behind him, the young police officer wore a look of frustration, feeling so annoyed that he wished he could break the computer used for the record into two halves

What is happening in the city

One person sneered, "Have you watched too much of the news broadcast? Do you think the capital of Huaxia is some kind of paradise, where the police can do anything? Before the police arrive, we can kill you more than ten times!"

That's good. After I finish this busy period, I will invite you for a drink. Take care of yourself

Suddenly, a phrase appeared on the dressing mirror.

However, I am afraid I must disappoint you regarding the Galaxy Club. Yesterday, I drove into the scene, and my impressive driving skills have already caught Franklin's attention. Now, it seems impossible to stay out of it. The people from the Galaxy Club should be on their way, and I need to prepare for the reception. Rest assured, once this is all over, I will treat you to a drink

Hello, great!

Master Wang may not be considered a true gourmet, but his knowledge is undoubtedly extensive, even being well-acquainted with the signature dishes of the newly opened Seventh Canteen's chef

A brief separation is more poignant than a new marriage; let this feeling of parting brew even deeper. Moreover, if you truly wish to invite me, just transfer the meal expenses to this account...

The officer of the Galaxy Society unhesitatingly thrust the dagger inward by a fraction. For an ordinary person, committing murder in Tianjing City would undoubtedly entail immense pressure, but the Galaxy Society is least lacking in desperate individuals.

The female student working part-time in a small restaurant, with a slight blush on her face, gently and considerately offered her suggestions

The girl sweetly smiled as she took the napkin, entered the numbers into the ordering machine, and then looked around. Seeing that it seemed she wouldn't be needed to help, she decided to chat a bit more with the young handsome man.

Damn, who the hell knows when you arrived in Tianjing? You've been so mysterious these past few years, completely unreachable. Just now, you suddenly sent me a communication request, and I thought your account had been hacked... By the way, the recent events happening in Tianjing City have nothing to do with you, right?

Convex.

However, since it is a rare opportunity to visit the upper city, it would be better to first experience the bustling scenery of the Silver Time Zone, then buy a piece of clothing for my wife and a new computer for my son. I will return to the lower city when the validity of the pass is about to expire

Of course, when I called the police, I thought about the possibility of retaliation. However, as a citizen of the capital, I have the obligation to maintain the peace and stability of the city, and I believe that our public security officers will certainly be able to protect the safety of citizens' lives and property. Nevertheless, the situation at that time was truly dangerous; I was just a hair's breadth away from being brutally harmed. Fortunately, police comrades, you did not arrive too late; had you come later, I would have had to rely on forensic experts for an assessment.

Upon mentioning that foolish dog, the police officer immediately lost interest.

The three officials looked at each other in disbelief, feeling as if countless rolling thunders were exploding in their minds, shattering their rationality into pieces

There are some matters I need to ask you regarding the young man in your car just now

I would like an order of Huangmen Chicken Rice, an order of Black-boned Chicken Casserole Soup, and an order of Cold Dressed Celery. Um, the total comes to thirty-five, plus a management fee of thirty percent

... ...

Faced with the increasingly sullen expression of the police officer, Master Wang was in high spirits, speaking incessantly.

The reports from the Chaoyang masses are truly unreliable

Master Wang relaxed his body, slightly raised his hands, and with a faint smile under the threat of two sharp blades, said: "The Galaxy Society?"

He went downstairs and onto the street, raising his hand to hail a passing taxi without even lifting his head, perfectly timing his gesture to stop one that was driving by

However, just as the hover car was starting up, the driver suddenly noticed that the six windows around him had turned black, and a series of red crosses had appeared on the dashboard.

Brother, take care on your way. If you need to call a car in the future, just give me a call, and I will give you a discount

Unfortunately, at that moment, the lobby manager turned around and called out to her, "Xiao Zhao, are you ready yet? The guests over here have been waiting for quite a while!"

In the small dark room, the police officer gritted his teeth as he stared at the young man in front of him, the pen in his hand gripped tightly.

Master Wang's smile instantly became even more radiant. After the girl left, he casually lifted the shiny metal plate in front of him, and in the reflection, several sneaky figures had just exited the restaurant door

... ...

Oh? Did you forget to bring your student card? You can just tell me your student number, and there is no need to pay the management fee

You really do not know? Never mind, let's assume you do not know, but I still want to remind you that the Milky Way will have significant developments in the near future. I sincerely advise you to suppress the urge to stir up trouble and not to get involved. During this period, I am afraid I will have to devote all my efforts to dealing with this matter and will not be able to take care of you
