Jiang Xiaowen anxiously said, "Sister Flower, what do we do? Qin Feng must not go in well. We must find a way to get him out."
"I know that!"
Sister Flower left the Free Man in a sour mood. The dinner was already prepared, but no one was in the right mood to have fun anymore, and left one after another.

"Young Ji, good news, good news! Haha!" the butler, Quan, ran into the room excitedly.
Ji Dongchen had just returned home from the hospital to rest and recuperate in his home, and the people sent by his father to give Qin Feng trouble were frustrating him one after another.
"What good news!?” he snapped. “Shut up if it has nothing to do with Qin Feng!"
Ji Dongchen threw yet another vase on the floor. He had made a total wreck of his hospital ward in the two days he’d been there. Whenever he heard unpleasant news, he just picked up whatever was at hand and destroyed it without thinking. He didn't care at all. His restless heart could only be appeased by the crash of destruction.
Quan lifted his eyebrows, and excitedly said, "It's about him!"
Ji Dongchen calmed down a little and sat on the sofa, sucking on the expensive cigar in his hand. "Speak already!"
Quan showed a dirty grin and excitedly rubbed his hands. "Qin Feng has been arrested! The fool attacked Li Faxian in public in front of the Free Man Bar's door. He interfered with a police raid and attacked an officer. You said that if he was really charged…"
A long-lost smile appeared on Ji Dongchen’s face. He put his hands on Quan's cheeks and shouted, "Bravo, Qin Feng, you did it yourself! Haha!"
Then he said, "Now go to the police station and tell Li Faxian not to let Qin Feng go.”
"Don’t you want to go and give Qin Feng a lesson?" Quan blinked. "It’s a rare chance. I think we should go kick his ass!"
"If I go there, people will talk about it. Everyone knows I have a vendetta against him. Now, Director Li can get rid of him in a reasonable way. If I go there, it will inevitably draw suspicion of a personal revenge on Qin Feng. We need to keep our name out of this story, got it?"
Ji Dongchen had thought a lot while he was in the hospital. His father was right - he was no longer a child and he needed to act more carefully. Director Li could punish Qin Feng on his own and he didn’t need to step in himself. He just needed to make sure Mr. Jia gave Qing Feng the heaviest possible penalty. Now was the time for Ji Dongchen’s revenge!

In the capital, Gu Shaoyun called Green Dragon.
"Things have changed. Qin Feng has been arrested by the police." Gu Shaoyun laughed, "He attacked the police chief himself!"
Green Dragon had told Gu Shaoyun what Qin Feng and he did last night, and that he had changed his mind. He would rather offend Gu Shaoyun than Qin Feng. Qin Feng had shown him too much care during these years; he would never betray him.
If he betrayed Qin Feng, what kind of person would he be?
Gu Shaoyun listened with surprise. He wandered how Qin Feng managed to change Green Dragon’s mind so fast. On the other hand, Green Dragon was always on the fence, following the advice of whoever was the last person to speak with him.
"Sir, I have to ask about Qin Feng’s arrest. Li Faxian was over the line. He wanted to harass Xiao He's sister, and Qin Feng only did what he had to - Xiao He had entrusted his sister to Qin Fengan before he died."
"That’s no reason for his criminal behavior. He hasn’t been exposed in Tianhe yet, but the information might still leak. He exposure would mean he has no discipline and does not know how to maintain the friendly relations between the military and civilian authorities. What’s more, he is creating a rift between the military and the people. Many of our missions depend on the locals to cover us and provide information. If all of our soldiers learned from Qin Feng and carelessly attacked the local police in broad daylight, where would we be then?"
"This incident will have a very negative impact on our reputation if it gets out," Gu Shaoyun said. "I have scheduled a meeting to discuss about his actions. I am going to suggest dismissing him from his position."
Green Dragon was in a daze for a moment. "What?!” he cried out. “You’re going to fire Qing Feng just for this little incident? There’s absolutely no call for that! Sir. You’re taking official business personally. Does the list of names in his hand threaten you? I don't know what you are up to, but let’s get back to Qin Feng. The contributions and sacrifices he has made for the country and for the people for so many years are obvious, and now he’s only protecting Xiao He's sister. It may not be an official mission, but it’s still fulfilling the dying wishes of a close comrade. We are not stones with no emotions. We are humans too, and we have feelings, right? Qin Feng loves his job, you know that! How can you get rid of him like this? You’ll crush him! He is not the kind of person who cares about his position, but what he cares about is your support for him."
Gu Shaoyun impatiently interrupted before Green Dragon was through: "Hey, you are just a renegade! How dare you talk to me like this! I know what you think. Do you think Qin Feng can’t be replaced? To tell you the truth…. Oh, forget it. Forget it! I won’t tell you that much. It's bad for you to know. There is only one thing you need to know: after removing Qin Feng, I will propose that you be appointed to take his place and promoted to lieutenant colonel."
