The Secret to Picking Up Girls

The police officer with a stern expression was none other than Gong Zhenyong, the Executive Deputy Director of the Nan Min X C Public Security Bureau. Beside him were Xia Bingqiang, the Chief of the Narcotics Division, and Wang Zhen, the Captain of the Criminal Police Brigade.

"Police comrades, what is the meaning of this? We haven't done anything illegal," said Jin Gang, who was generally aware of the situation and thus extremely calm. He didn't panic at the arrival of the police, maintaining a composed expression as he looked at the fully armed officers.

The leading officer, noticing Jin Gang's composure, felt a slight unease but maintained a stern facade. He addressed him, saying, "We received a report that your entertainment venue is hiding drugs, and in significant quantities. Therefore, we must conduct a search."

"Injustice! Police comrades, how can you listen to just one side of the story! If everyone who filed a report led to a search, how could we do business? Otherwise, police comrades, you can also call the person who reported us to confront us face-to-face. That way, we can distinguish right from wrong," Jin Gang said to the police, his voice ringing with conviction.

Gong Zhenyong, already losing patience, said sternly to Jin Gang, "Enough nonsense. We'll know if there's anything after a search."

Although the other party was stern and imposing, and a police officer, Jin Gang was not someone who had never seen the world. He was not intimidated. He said with a serious expression, "Police comrades, we are legitimate business people, paying every cent of tax. The government should guarantee our legal rights! Even if you say we have drugs here, you need some evidence before you can search. Otherwise, if you come here every day, how can we do business?"

"Why are you being so unreasonable? Are you obstructing our investigation because you have a guilty conscience? If you continue to obstruct us, I'll charge you with obstructing official duties," Gong Zhenyong said to Jin Gang, frowning and speaking with emphasis.

As he spoke, he ignored Jin Gang's objections, waved his hand to the police behind him, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Go in and search."

"Hold on, you can search, but you must produce a search warrant! According to Article 39 of the 'Constitution,' the homes of citizens are inviolable. Illegal searches or illegal intrusions into citizens' homes are prohibited. Your public security organs wouldn't knowingly violate the law, would they?" Jin Gang said, looking coldly at the police officer in front of him.

Gong Zhenyong didn't expect this kid to start arguing law with him. It was truly a case of showing off with an axe before Guan Gong, which made him feel a bit dumbfounded. However, the kid's words made him feel somewhat troubled because he didn't actually have a 'search warrant.' Even a county (district) level director didn't have the right to issue a search warrant; only the director of the municipal bureau or the procuratorate could issue one. However, because his actions this time were of a personal nature, and to avoid complications, he hadn't even had time to apply for a search warrant before bringing people over. If it weren't for the time it took to gather personnel, he probably would have come to the door in the middle of the night last night. But now, he was being blocked by this kid with all sorts of reasons, which made Gong Zhenyong feel that this kid was difficult to deal with. But he was already in a situation where he couldn't back down, and he couldn't afford to delay any longer.
