Ai Ba struggled with his expression for a while before saying, "His nephew might not be as formidable as the rumors suggest. This time, those outsiders beat Zhao Guozhong into a pulp, yet they've only detained three people and fined them a bit. At most, they'll be out in ten days to a half-month."
Three Fingers' eyes flickered for a moment before he spoke, "It's now certain that his nephew has connections in the HB Bureau; otherwise, the patrol unit wouldn't act so quickly. Guozhong was just beaten up at noon, and they came to inspect him by the afternoon."
Ai Ba also agreed, saying with a pained expression, "I know. So, if they intentionally hold me back, it'll be tough for me to get that permit, and the shop still won't be able to open."
Three Fingers pondered, "If it's just relations with the HB Bureau, we don't need to fear them. What I'm worried about is whether the other side has connections with the J Bureau. We'll have to see how those three outsiders are finally handled."
