"Chapter 138: East Gate Market Police Station (Part 3) Before his arrival, Zhou Shizhai had assumed these people were like Guangzhou's foreign merchants—wealthy traders seeking protection for their mansions and treasures, nothing more. The moment he stepped ashore, he knew how completely wrong he had been.
