Chapter 1 Checkpoint

Wasn't the inspection supposed to be tomorrow when we enter the city?

Although curious, Yuan Muye opened the door.

Two uniformed individuals stood outside.

Yuan Muye didn't recognize the uniforms; they weren't from the Supernatural Special Forces Bureau, but from some other department.

Yuan Muye glanced at them and asked, "Why are you checking permits so late?"

"Is this your first time in Third Capital City? You obviously don't know the rules. This is the time for checks."

The man spoke quickly, not giving Yuan Muye a chance to argue.

"Hurry up and get it out. Don't waste everyone's time. We have others to check after you."

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Muye took out his permit, figuring it was better to avoid trouble.

The man glanced at it and quickly switched it.

The permit returned to Yuan Muye was a fake.

He had to admit, the guy was fast.

If you weren't strong enough, you wouldn't even notice.

He handed the permit to Yuan Muye but realized he wasn't reaching for it.

He urged, "Your permit is fine. Take it."

Yuan Muye still didn't take it.

The inspector became impatient and said, "Do you want it or not? I'll throw it in the trash."

"I want it, of course, I want it."

"Then hurry up and take it."

"Give me my own permit. What's the meaning of trying to fool me with a fake?"

Yuan Muye said calmly.

Hearing this, the two exchanged a surprised look, not expecting Yuan Muye to see through their trick.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you deliberately causing trouble?"

Yuan Muye was too lazy to waste words with them.

He directly grabbed one of the men.

The man became angry and said, "What are you doing? Don't blame me for being rude."

He clenched his fist and was about to smash it down on Yuan Muye's head.

Yuan Muye pulled him, and the man fell face-first into the dirt.

He let out a scream.

Soon, the noise woke up the other guests, who came out to complain and ask what was going on.

Yuan Muye didn't delay. Seeing the crowd, he figured they were probably victims too.

He said, "Did they check your permits just now? Did they switch them? Quickly check your permits."

Permits were the most important thing for the people here.

Many had bankrupted themselves and spent countless efforts for a permit to Third Capital City.

Hearing Yuan Muye's words, they all started checking.

Sure enough, they found problems with their permits.

Yuan Muye picked up his own permit, and the others swarmed the two men, beating them up.

After all their efforts, the two men were left empty-handed and furious.

When the crowd dispersed, they pointed at Yuan Muye and said, "Good, you dare to ruin our plan! Do you know who we are? Are you looking for death?"

"I don't care who you are. You're wrong to mess with me, understand?"

Yuan Muye said calmly.

"Mess with you? So what? Our Boss Hai isn't someone to be trifled with. You're dead!"

They left those words behind and ran away.

Yuan Muye returned to his room. Liang Senyu had heard the commotion and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Muye?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing, just a couple of petty thieves."

What these two had done was equivalent to destroying someone else's livelihood.

Yuan Muye had already let them off easy by not teaching them a harsher lesson.

"But I heard them say they're coming back for trouble. What if…"

"Don't worry, it's fine, Xiaoyu. I can handle these little things. Don't you trust me?"

Yuan Muye let Liang Senyu return to the jade stone world and told her he'd handle everything.

After saying that, Yuan Muye went out and quickly caught up with the two men.

The two were cursing after their loss.

"Brother Yong, if that kid hadn't ruined our plan, we could have gotten so many permits with this method! One permit would have made us rich. So many, we could have gone to heaven! We give a few to Boss Hai, and we wouldn't have to worry for the rest of our lives."

"Who knew some Cheng Yaojin would come out of nowhere and ruin our good fortune? What can we do?"

"That's right, that kid is hateful! Brother Yong, let's tell Boss Hai to take care of him."

The two were furious and headed forward.

Yuan Muye followed them. At this time of night, there was no one outside; it was deserted.

Soon, they entered a warehouse-like place. From outside, Yuan Muye could hear the boisterous sounds of people.

Clearly, people were gambling inside.

Yuan Muye followed them inside. There were guards at the door, but Yuan Muye's speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't even see a blur.

Inside, people were gambling intensely.

After blending in, no one noticed Yuan Muye's presence.

There were all kinds of people inside, men and women.

Yuan Muye searched and soon saw Brother Yong disappear behind a curtain.

Yuan Muye followed, but this time it wasn't as easy. He was quickly stopped. The man said, "Sorry, you can't enter without Boss Hai's invitation."

"Oh, I know your Brother Yong. If you don't believe me, go ask him."

Yuan Muye said calmly.

The man looked at Yuan Muye suspiciously. "You know Brother Yong? Impossible. I've never seen you before. Who are you? Give me a name."

"Just say we met at the inn earlier. Brother Yong will definitely know."

Yuan Muye said softly.

The man was skeptical but went inside anyway.

At this time, Brother Yong was talking to Boss Hai.

Boss Hai was playing mahjong with three others who were clearly not ordinary people.

After Brother Yong finished speaking, Boss Hai discarded an "eight of ten thousands".

He was full of bluster, and his face showed anger as he said, "How dare they ruin my plans on my turf? They're courting death!"

"Boss Hai, he even said that even if you came, he'd beat you so badly you'd have to call him grandpa."

Brother Yong added fuel to the fire.
