Just then, a commotion erupted outside the gymnasium.

"Police, have the police arrived?"

"Holy shit, that was fast, wasn't it? How much time has passed? Five minutes or seven? This police response seems way too efficient!"

"Isn't that obvious? With such a big incident, if they didn't hurry to respond, what else could they do?"

"??? Wait, what big incident? I rushed over here without checking my phone. Dude, don't tell me the fight's over just as I've arrived!"

"Over? Far more than that! Two Black Ghosts are dead! The live stream's been shut down, and if you go in now, you can still see a Black Ghost lying on the ground, gushing blood!"

"Damn, seriously?"

Outside, the people who had rushed over to watch the spectacle, cheer for Zhang Beixing, and shout their support were all discussing animatedly. And amidst their discussions and exclamations of "What a show!—", accompanied by the urgent blare of sirens, the police navigated through the crowd and arrived at the scene.

They got out of their cars and rushed into the gymnasium; although they had already seen the situation via the live stream on their way there, seeing it with their own eyes was still quite shocking.

However, their professional conduct allowed them to quickly recover, and they immediately went forward to maintain order at the scene. The officer leading the team was a third-grade police supervisor, a rank higher than Inspector Bai. Obviously, due to the live broadcast, this incident had a huge impact, so the level of police deployment was significantly raised, fearing they wouldn't be able to control the situation.

Li Shuo and Inspector Bai followed behind him. Upon seeing Zhang Beixing, Li Shuo desperately gestured to him, signaling him to remain calm and not act rashly.

Meanwhile, after the third-grade police supervisor was briefed on the situation on-site, he walked up to Zhang Beixing, took out his police badge, and said, "Hello comrade, we're from the Shishi Police Department. We received a report from the public that there was an accidental death of an athlete during an official event. As an involved party, please cooperate with our investigation."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhang Beixing listened to the third-grade police supervisor and nodded, indicating it was no problem. He then proactively extended his hand, allowing the supervisor to cuff his right wrist, and was subsequently escorted out of the gymnasium.

He had anticipated this. Whether it was accidental or not, involvement in a case concerning human life inevitably leads to judicial proceedings, but this process was different from that of a criminal suspect. Since it was an accidental death during an official event, it was not considered a routine criminal case. The routine investigation was to inquire into the cause and ascertain the facts, determine whether it was truly an accident, and thus make a criminal judgment on the matter.

Therefore, although Zhang Beixing was handcuffed, his custody was not strict.

Seeing Zhang Beixing exiting the gymnasium, the crowd outside, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, all turned to look.

They looked at Zhang Beixing, wanting to say something, but when they noticed the handcuffs on his wrists, the words caught in their throats.

Zhang Beixing was being detained! They knew this was inevitable. Yet when they actually witnessed it, everyone couldn't help but feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

The previously noisy scene fell into dead silence. Only heavy breathing, footsteps, and the CLINK! CLINK! of the chains on the handcuffs echoed through the area.

The crowd watched Zhang Beixing walk away, their gazes filled with awe and respect. Not long after, someone in the crowd broke the heavy atmosphere with those words. It was as if this set off a chain reaction.

"Bro Zhang, you're a real man! Great Xia needs people like you to stand up! I salute you!"

Those who had remained silent began to speak out one after another:

"Bro Zhang, well done, you handled today's situation brilliantly!"

"When you're out, I'll buy you a drink!"

"Bro Zhang, all the best... I mean, may everything go smoothly for you! We're always your strongest support!"

"Bro Zhang, accidental killing in an official match isn't against the law! We'll wait for you, hang in there!"

"..."

Saying this, the group of people bowed in unison, offering their highest respect to Zhang Beixing's retreating figure!

After all, not everyone had the courage to do what he did! Many people in the world couldn't stand Black Ghosts; ninety-nine percent of men felt that way. But few dared to truly fight them with their lives on the line!

So, they admired this man, Zhang Beixing!

Zhang Beixing turned his head and saw this spectacle.

Unexpectedly, a scene from a Hong Kong gangster film flashed through Zhang Beixing's mind: the mob boss being taken away while his underlings respectfully saw him off. His mouth twitched, leaving him slightly speechless. Good heavens, with this grand display of bowing from all of you, even if I, Bro Zhang, were perfectly fine, I'd probably be mistaken for being in serious trouble! Are they trying to make things worse for me or something? I may be cracking down on 'black' elements and eliminating evil, but the 'black' I'm dealing with here refers to the Black Ghosts!

Under the admiring gaze of the onlookers, Zhang Beixing followed the third-grade police supervisor and Inspector Bai into the car. The car drove away from Shi University. Only when it was completely out of sight did the people finally look away.

"So, Lao Zhang was taken in after all..."

Standing at the entrance of Shi University's gymnasium, Zheng Jituo could no longer see Zhang Beixing or the car, his face full of emotion.

"Yeah, but I believe Lao Zhang will be fine! After all, the public has a discerning eye," Jin Linyu said, patting Zheng Jituo on the shoulder from behind.
