Chapter 296: Chapter 296

Another drunk causing trouble, we’ll hit one every time we see one from now on.

Fang Zhou picked up his luggage: "Nothing major on a daily basis, drug enforcement, investigations... usually a bit of spare time—however, generally speaking, overtime doesn’t distinguish between day and night."

These words were completely like Spring and Autumn Pen Technique.

They’ve worked for so many years and haven’t encountered such a [leisurely] time with more free time.

"In our free time, we’ll do legal awareness campaigns, give lectures at universities—though these are usually done by the publicity department, we just assist."

"Additionally, this year we are focusing on strict enforcement, so all major entertainment venues are our primary targets during this period. You came just in time; tonight, there’s an inspection of the bars on Construction Road. Want to go?"

Chu River was pleased: "Sure, I’ve got experience going to bars."

In her past life with Chen Jingbai, or her two sisters, she’d seen plenty of bars, lighting, atmosphere, bands, drinks...

Got to admit, it’s quite relaxing.

Except it’s too proper, nothing out of the ordinary to see, and over time it becomes dull.

Fang Zhou frowned: "You’ve been to the bars on Construction Road?" Follow current novᴇls on nοvelfire.net

Chu River shook her head: "No, I haven’t."

If it’s boring, why go?

But she overlooked one thing—in her past life, her two sisters, being urban white-collars, usually went to classy bars, or internet-famous bars.

As for Chen Jingbai, he wasn’t short on money, and it’s impossible he would take Chu River to any chaotic places.

The bars they went to were more like leisure teahouses than bars.

If Chu River really did some research on her own, she probably wouldn’t find any wild car races in a bar, but underground fights, that’s not so certain.

She could only say, she lost to trust, huh.

After all, there’s a generation gap!

Fang Zhou relaxed his eyebrows: "No worries, I’ll lead the team tonight and take you to see."

"You’re leading the team?" Chu River looked at him skeptically: "Don’t you usually avoid these public spots?"

His existence in the anti-drug department’s normal files wasn’t present, his file was with the cash transport guard, and recently there’s been more training, clearly ready for action at any time.

Fang Zhou frowned tightly, but eventually said: "Learned a new way to disguise, let’s try it tonight."

Chu River waved her hand—

"Forget it, why go. Aren’t you confident in me? Just keep doing what you want to do."

Undercover work, Fang Zhou is actually getting involved from now on.

Otherwise, with no experience, who would be willing to let such a key force directly into the most dangerous territory.

Fang Zhou didn’t speak.

If Little He went, he wouldn’t necessarily be at ease.

Forget it... at crucial times, he mustn’t make mistakes himself. Better let the steady Xiao Zhou from the team keep an eye on things.

Borrowing for adjustments didn’t need complicated document relations, just simple preparations for entry, and they temporarily gave Chu River a dormitory here for a break.

Chu River didn’t mind the dorm’s simplicity, as her lease’s three months were about up, staying here for a bit, and later she could move into Fang Zhou’s new house.

After a simple tidying up, the whole team started working overtime again tonight—

This task wasn’t originally theirs, but with heavy tasks now, everyone wanted to get more clues, so they cooperated with the public security system and grabbed the task.

The bar’s peak boarding time, also when the hustle and bustle starts, with 11 bars on Construction Road, all operating in a somewhat shady, inconsistent manner that constantly skirts the edges, now they’re the ones to inspect it all.

As a rookie, Chu River got taken around each bar by everyone.

Team leader Xiao Zhou laughed: "Little Chu, ever played on this side of Construction Road? Let me tell you, this isn’t a good place—it’s very chaotic inside."

Chu River was eager to try: "What kind of chaos? Any fights?"

"There’s plenty of that!" Xiao Zhou sighed as well.

"The police on Construction Road, I dare say, they never have a night without getting a call—the bar atmosphere easily makes people hot-blooded, with all sorts of disputes between men and women, jealous acts, hiring a lousy band, sending flowers to the band, and there must even be a fight!"

"No other activities?"

Chu River instantly understood the level of these fights and was predictably disappointed.

Another colleague, Xiao Wang, laughed:

"It’s bars, projects are just that, sing songs, play games, do some exciting projects... mainly about building atmosphere."

"But nothing else concerns us; today’s spot check is to see if anyone is using this scene to touch what’s untouchable."

Nowadays, with advanced technology, these things shouldn’t be as rampant as before. But there are more tricks now, take laughing gas—that thing is for medical use, yet now those lawbreakers lure people to inhale it in balloons, each one was...

It’s disgraceful; they’re unworthy to be human.

Talking about it, they joked: "Little Chu, we heard you caught several in a restaurant just with your nose before you came, but in the bar today, with all sorts of smells, don’t know whether there’s a chance for you to show your talents. If you get it wrong, watch out for Baldy scolding you!"

Baldy is their direct superior.

Due to years of staying up late working overtime and heavy stress, though still young, his hair had retired early.

Everyone laughs calling him Baldy behind his back.

Of course, no one dares to say it to his face.

Chu River was already raring to go—

"As long as there’s something, I can catch it, guaranteed no misses!"

"If I get it wrong, I’ll treat you all to a big meal!"

The entire department split into small groups alternately inspecting the bars; Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang took Chu River directly through the door of a bar named [Wild Bull] with giggles.

As soon as they entered, Chu River was blinded unawares.

Except for a few booths near the entrance where the lights were a bit dim, the entire space was deafening.

In the middle was a large dance floor, dim around, except for the colorful lights constantly sweeping around the stage, there was no stable light source.

The band members on stage had their hair down, holding microphones, banging drums, playing guitars, shouting who knows what.

In the huge dance floor below, shrouded by dry ice and lights, countless people swayed their hips, shook their heads, the scene was quite surreal.

Chu River was dumbfounded.

——This hell, is it a bar too?!

Clearly, the last world she went to wasn’t !

Three of them in low-key uniforms weren’t noticed much upon entry, only when they gradually went inside did people at the bar clearly see them, causing the bar manager to appear instantly.

"Oh my, Captain Zhou and Captain Wang are here..."

After all, no matter who comes, they’re all called captain.

The manager’s smile was like a flower, but not too fawning, instead giving a rather enthusiastic feeling.

As he walked, he curiously eyed Chu River in the middle of the group: "Is this our department’s rookie?"

Xiao Wang gave Chu River a look, letting her understand the sticky nature of this bar manager.

Xiao Zhou took the role of the stern face: "Who is part of your department? Which department are you in?"

Casually adding: "Brought a newcomer to get some experience, also checking if you’re following the rules."

The manager’s smile grew more warm: "Rules, for sure—such a young lady here, must have outstanding ability. How about a glass of orange juice?"

Chu River, not polite at all: "I don’t like orange juice, give me a cup of ice cream..."

Xiao Zhou immediately got a head full of sweat—good heavens, Captain Fang’s girlfriend, indeed just as he said, carefree and unrestrained.

No wonder he had to slip me a thousand bucks.

He straightened his face and scanned to pay, while Xiao Wang blocked the manager who frantically wouldn’t accept the money—fortunately, scanning made it convenient.

Exhausted by now, the three finally calmed down, watching helplessly as Chu River already had a sundae in her hand, strolling like shopping in this bar, unable to speak a word.
