He transmigrates to Beiping in 1947 and becomes Gu Weisheng, a dark-skinned patrolman in Yu'er Alley.

“If anyone falls behind on the road to retirement, I’m sorry to hear it.”

“We’ll take care of the younger ones first, then the older ones. We can all look after each other in retirement.”

“Xiao Yi, Xiao Yan, Xiao Liu, speak up. Am I taking good care of you?”

At his words, the Third Master weeps with gratitude. The others drop to their knees in unison, not daring to raise their heads.

Gu Weisheng gets up and calls on Heaven to judge who is loyal and who is treacherous: “Look, not a single person says otherwise. Not one!!!”
