Translate: Lin Yu carefully recalled the memories of the original owner. In this era's Shen City, the Security Command Headquarters could be said to be a special existence.

The Third Operations Bureau oversees public safety in the Eastern District. As a newly developed area, it has seen a surge in incidents, making its workload heavy.

【Note: The Security Command Headquarters Military Police has already manifested and is reporting to the Fourth Action Bureau.】

Lin Yu looked at the System Prompt, a slight smile curling his lips. This means he can summon at any moment a squad of Axe Head Gang thugs, or a well‑equipped German‑style guard platoon.

He glanced out the window; the streets of the French Concession were bustling with people. This prosperous district will soon undergo a change.

Those arrogant Easterners, those haughty foreigners, will all pay for their arrogance.

"System, where is the Military Police reporting now?"

【Reply: The Military Police has arrived at No. 88 Xiafei Road, Fourth Action Bureau building, awaiting the Bureau Chief's inspection.】

Hua Yuan stepped out of the office, giving Lin Yu a meaningful look: "Chief Liao just called; the Health Union Association members are furious and demand the immediate release of Yamamoto Ichiro."

He paused, then added: "Chief Liao said, this is an order!"

Lin Yu sat in his chair, a cold sneer tugging at his mouth upon hearing that. Since he was about to leave this place immediately, why not tear the façade cleanly? After all, he now held the position of Bureau Chief of the Fourth Action Bureau; what could these people do to him?

"Heh......"

He rose slowly, walking to the detention room doorway under the startled gazes of the crowd.

"Lin Yu! What are you doing?" Hua Yuan shouted sharply.

"What?" Lin Yu sneered, "Of course I'm enforcing the precinct's rules. Without a guarantor, no one can be released!"

"You......"

"How? Chief Inspector Hua wants to break the regulations?" Lin Yu turned, his gaze like a blade, "Or do the Health Union Association members matter more to Chief Inspector Hua than the laws of Great Dry?"

【Ding! The host upheld the principle, unafraid of authority, gaining 30 hardness points!】

【Current hardness: 80 points】

Yamamoto Ichiro in the detention room heard this and immediately began swearing, but Lin Yu ignored him, his smile growing even colder.

"Chief Inspector Hua, if you want to release someone, go ahead and try." He stared into Hua Yuan's eyes, "But when the time comes, don't say I didn't………………"

The words made Hua Yuan's complexion turn iron‑blue. He hadn't expected this young constable to dare such open defiance of his superior. Yet, looking at Lin Yu's icy gaze, he inexplicably felt a flutter of anxiety.

This kid... what's wrong with him today?
