A list of enviable best friends, including Chief Superintendent Bald Qiang.

Page 27

"Could it be... one of my distant relatives I've forgotten? But that can't be right, our family has been poor farmers for three generations..."

Bald Qiang's face was filled with big question marks; he felt like his brain was about to explode.

"I...I'm Bald Qiang..."

"When exactly in my life did I meet such an amazing person?"

"How come I...have absolutely no recollection of this?"

He wore an extremely bewildered expression, realizing that the protagonist of his story was the only one who didn't know who was standing behind him.

The traffic policeman Bald Qiang encountered on the road later became his best friend.

The world of Under One Person

On Mount Longhu, when they saw the final, revealing words on the sky, Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye both showed unprecedented, utterly stunned expressions, as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Fuck me..."

After a long while, Zhang Chulan finally managed to squeeze out those two words through gritted teeth, his expression one of utter disbelief as he pointed to the sky.

"Wait a minute... let me catch my breath..."

"The 'traffic cop' mentioned on the screen... isn't that...?"

"Isn't he the ultimate unlucky guy who got his grilled fish stolen by a monkey, got hit on the head by an apple, got sprayed in the face with car exhaust, and finally got so angry that he called dozens of cars, but couldn't even catch up with a bear's butt?"

His voice was full of absurdity and chaos.

"he?"

"Is it that 'close friend' who has such immense power that he could even have the death penalty overturned?"

Zhang Chulan looked like he was about to go crazy.

"This...this is a million times more outrageous than Bao'er's background."

"No...this is completely wrong."

Even the usually calm Wang Ye couldn't maintain his composure at this moment, his brows furrowed tightly.

“I considered countless possibilities, but this one was the only one that did not exist.”

“From a causal point of view, there is only a line of ‘hostility’ and ‘humiliation’ between these two people, and no ‘friendly’ entanglement at all.”

"The chief police officer's overwhelming anger towards Bald Qiang was genuine."

"And the teasing and fear of Bald Qiang, as well as those animals, were also genuine."

"How is this possible... How could they possibly be best friends?"

Wang Ye's logic was completely bankrupt in the face of Tianmu's unreasonable final revelation.

In the activity room of the Ministry of Service, when the final, revealing words appeared on the sky, the atmosphere that had been filled with various conspiracy theories about the "big shot" was instantly replaced by a purer, more bewildered silence.

"Eh?"

Yui Yuigahama looked very puzzled, tilting her head and pointing to the sky.

"Traffic police?"

"Does 'Sky Curtain' mean that the incredibly powerful figure who can even invalidate the death penalty is... a traffic policeman?"

Her voice was full of innocent questions.

"But...but I remember very clearly, in the footage just now, there were dozens of police cars chasing Mr. Baldy and his group."

"There must be dozens of traffic police officers inside, right?"

"Who exactly is Tianmu referring to?"

Yui Yuigahama's question is simple and direct, yet it is also the biggest mystery at this moment.

"what……"

Hachiman Hikigaya wore an expression full of mockery and speechlessness. His dead fish eyes were half-open and half-closed, making him look listless.

"what is this?"

"When the mystery was finally revealed, did it provide a limited and vague answer?"

"'Traffic police encountered on the road' sounds very specific, but considering the footage just now, it's actually equivalent to saying nothing at all."

He deconstructed this statement using his usual, pessimistic logic.

"It's like the last big question on an exam, asking you who the real murderer is, and the answer tells you it's 'one of the men present at the crime scene'."

"What's the use?"

The word "absurd" was written all over Hachiman Hikigaya's face.

"There were at least dozens of police officers in those dozens of vehicles."

"The one who actually clashed head-on with Bald Qiang and his gang and was humiliated from beginning to end was the 'traffic cop' who was furious to the point of near death in the end."

"Could it be him?"

“But he showed an irreconcilable hostility from beginning to end. How could he be a close friend?”

Hachiman Hikigaya gave a negative look.

"So, your true best friend is one of those dozens of police officers who never even showed their faces, like extras?"

"This...this is like looking for a needle in a haystack; it's invalid information."

"Do not."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been silently pondering, slowly spoke up, revealing a cold expression that showed she had seen through the essence of the problem.

"You've all overlooked one crucial word."

"Tianmu is referring to 'the traffic police that Bald Qiang encountered on the road'."

“'Encounter' is the starting point of the whole event.”

Snow's gaze sharpened dramatically.

"Before that massive chase involving dozens of vehicles officially took place."

"The first policeman that Bald Qiang 'encountered' and had a direct conversation with (although it was with the bear) was only one person from beginning to end."

"That's the one……"

She paused for a moment, seemingly finding the conclusion somewhat absurd.

"A traffic policeman was eating grilled fish by the roadside when he was hit by an apple core and then approached him alone to question him."

"..."

Yukino's words plunged Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama into a long, stunned silence.

"……Wait a moment."

After a long while, Hachiman Hikigaya finally revealed an expression that seemed to show his worldview completely shattered.

"Yukinoshita, you mean..."

"After going around in circles, the mysterious, powerful figure behind Bald Qiang—the one who can invalidate a hundred-year-old prison sentence—is the biggest protector behind him..."

"Is he really that... the ultimate unlucky chief inspector who got his fish stolen by a monkey, got hit on the head with an apple, and got sprayed in the face with car exhaust fumes?"

He wore an expression even more complicated than if he had eaten a bitter herb.

"...Is this reasonable?"

"This is a hundred times more cliché than the ending of that dark, melodramatic novel I wrote."

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Episode 29 reveals the entire process of how Bald Qiang and the Chief Superintendent of Police became close friends.

The World of Boonie Bears - Security Department

In the command center, when that final line of text appeared, the entire room first fell into a deathly silence, and then erupted into a chaotic uproar that was more intense, more unbelievable, and more chaotic than ever before.

"Do not."

"impossible."

"This is absolutely impossible."

A young police officer pointed at the sky, his face contorted with shock, and roared.

"What a joke."

"Tianmu...Tianmu is saying that our director...is that heinous Bald Qiang's best friend? His protector?"

"This is slander."

"This is the most vicious slander against our highest-ranking officer."

His voice was filled with anger and disbelief.

"Yes, everyone, calm down."

A senior police officer immediately stepped forward to try to calm the troops, but his own voice also trembled slightly.

"There must be some misunderstanding."

"Perhaps...perhaps it's just that person in the celestial projection, just another person who looks exactly like the director?"

"Yes, that must be it. It's normal for people in the world to have similarities."

He offered his first reason, one that even he himself didn't quite believe.

"Yes."

Another officer immediately chimed in, his expression one of someone grasping at a straw.

"Or maybe... maybe there's a mole among those dozens of police cars that the director called in as backup."

"That close friend is someone who was hiding in those dozens of cars, which is why the director was tricked so badly, and why Bald Qiang and his gang were able to escape."

"Yes, that must be it. The real culprit is someone else."

They desperately searched for a reasonable explanation for their beliefs.

Everyone's eyes were instinctively drawn to the figure who had remained silent throughout.

"absurd."

He squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth.

"That's utter nonsense..."

He slammed his fist down hard on the steel command platform in front of him, creating a deafening roar that dented the entire platform.

"I."

He pointed at himself and roared at all his subordinates in a voice filled with boundless authority and rage.

"He is the country's Commissioner General of Police."

"My duty, the oath I took on the day I graduated from police academy, is to uphold the dignity of the law and eradicate all evil in the world."

"How could I possibly be the 'close friend' of such a heinous and unforgivable lumberjack?"

"A 'protective umbrella' that shielded him from all his crimes?"

He wore an expression that was full of contempt and self-mockery, and he was extremely angry.

"This canopy..."

He raised his head, staring intently at the sky, his eyes filled with an unprecedented, deep-seated hatred.

"It's not just taking stock of crimes."

"It is manipulating people's hearts, challenging the order, and trying to divide us from within."

"It wants to use this absurd accusation to shake our resolve and destroy the most basic, ironclad trust within our police force."

He accurately saw through Tianmu's "heart-piercing" scheme.
