– Nighttime –
At an open-air beer street by the river, Xu Cheng and Ran Jing sat across from each other, eating skewers. The table was filled with beer.
Not long after, a red Maserati sports car drove over, and Shen Yao, who was wearing a high-slit dress, got out of the car and became the center of attention of the people around her. She shook her long hair into a ponytail, sat down, and took a sip of beer.
"Here, congratulations on your promotion." Shen Yao raised the top of the bottle and came over to toast.
Xu Cheng was going to raise his glass, but who knew Shen Yao would be so bold as to use a glass?
"The mouth of the glass is so big, can you even put it in?" Xu Cheng teasingly asked.
Shen Yao didn't react yet, and two seconds later, her face turned red. She walked over with her high heels and said, "You're still in the mood to joke around when you're being bullied. You're a soldier, how can you hold a glass and drink?"
Xu Cheng grimaced in pain after getting stepped on.
He rubbed his heel and said, "If I'm going to drink, you guys can hold the glass. I'm scared that you guys will try to touch me when I'm drunk."
The two girls immediately rolled their eyes at him.
"Okay, you still haven't said anything. Do you have a way to deal with West Gate?" Ran Jing was still worried about Xu Cheng, and she wouldn't be at ease until she got to the bottom of things.
Shen Yao directly reached out her delicate hand and placed it on Xu Cheng's forehead to measure his temperature. "You don't have a fever. Why do you want to mess with West Gate all of a sudden?"
Xu Cheng took a sip of beer and said, "If someone wants to kill you, can you still pretend like nothing happened? There are too many ways to get rid of a person in this world. Although the assassin organization was caught, they will definitely use other methods. I'm a police officer, and I can't be as reckless as them. But that doesn't mean I'm going to sit here and wait for death. So, I think I might as well face them head on. "
"Face them head on? How?" Shen Yao snorted and said, "Ran Jing said she couldn't persuade you, so I came. Xu Cheng, let me tell you, why was West Gate the only one who could get the rights to operate the casino? My dad is considered rich, but when it comes to connections, he really isn't as strong as West Gate. West Gate has already jumped out of the society circle, and as a criminal police officer, you might not be able to handle it. If you investigate their money laundering case, it won't only involve West Gate, but also the underground money houses. In the face of capitalism, even if you're an official, people will still have ways to mess with you. "
Ran Jing nodded and said, "It's not that we don't want to pull out the other four Gates, it's just that it's not the right time yet. West Gate has the shadow of a lot of big international companies behind them, and East Gate's smuggling itself is basically stealing business from the country. Since these people dared to do this, there must be a huge group behind them. Smuggling is a headache for any country. It's not that countries don't want to get rid of it, but they can't. They can only prevent or control it. "
Xu Cheng was curious. "Why?"
Shen Yao, who came from a rich family, wasn't a simple-minded Ms. Perfect. She got straight to the point and said, "Because of the financial groups!"
"Financial groups?" Xu Cheng frowned.
Ran Jing nodded. "There's a group of capitalists in the world. With 100% profit, they can take risks. With 200% profit, they can be above the law. And these groups can be from all over the world, so the country can't get rid of them, they can only contain them. This is also why East Gate's smuggling port is only suitable for control and not encirclement and suppression. If we can reduce the profit to the lowest level within our control, then that would be the best. Once we get rid of them, they will find new ways to do it, and we will be in a very passive position. Similarly, if you stop the casino from laundering money, the underground money houses will warn you. Because I know that once you get serious, you will investigate thoroughly and only be satisfied when the other party is dead. "
Xu Cheng didn't deny it and said, "Yeah, on the battlefield, we have a habit of exposing our hearts. That is, even if the enemy is lying in a pool of blood, we will still make a few stabs or shots to make sure the enemy is dead. Otherwise, any mistake you make will bring trouble to your teammates. At the same time, since we are investigating, we have to be thorough, or else the people will be in danger. "
Shen Yao: "I agree with your professionalism, but Xu Cheng, no one is great. As a friend, we just hope you don't take risks. It's best if you don't delve too deeply into a money laundering case that touches everyone's bottom line."
Ran Jing: "Don't worry, he's a general without an army right now, and there's no way he can do anything."
Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Who said that?"
Then, he calmly shouted at the people around him, "Wu Gang, Li Chao, how long do you guys want to hide?"
The seaside wind blew at Wu Gang and the others in the dark. After looking at each other, they still walked up to Xu Cheng's table. There were exactly 10 of them.
Xu Cheng pointed at the remaining 10 bottles of beer on the table and said, "I knew you guys would come, so I already prepared it for you guys. Think about it, one of us will drink, and tomorrow, we will officially start working on West Gate's case."
The 10 of them were very surprised. They carefully counted the 10 bottles of beer on the table, and they were all very curious and shocked. How did Xu Cheng know they were nearby?
Shen Yao rolled her eyes. "I thought you were going to get drunk."
Xu Cheng smiled. "Nope, as the new boss, I have to drink with my brothers to warm up, right?"
Li Chao and Wu Gang looked at each other, and then they picked up the beer bottles and handed them to the other members of Team 2 behind them. Then, everyone bit down on their bottles and said in unison, "Boss, we are with you."
Xu Cheng patted Wu Gang and the others on the shoulder. "Come, let's drink!"
Then, the 11 men bumped their bottles together and directly stood up and started drinking. After they were done, all 10 of them looked at Xu Cheng, and the latter laughed and said, "Sit, let's talk about the work distribution."
Li Chao paused for a moment. "Right now?"
Xu Cheng nodded. "Are we going to talk in the office? How many people are waiting to laugh at us right now? Do you think what we talk in the office won't fly out and ruin our plan? "
Wu Gang nodded in realization. Sure enough, Xu Cheng was a meticulous thinker, and it seemed like he underestimated this new boss. It seemed like this guy wasn't just strong, he was also smart.
But, there seemed to be two other women beside him.
Li Chao looked at Xu Cheng from the corner of his eyes, wanting to say something but hesitating. "What about them?"
Xu Cheng smacked his lips. "You guys can just treat them as vases to set off the beautiful scenery at night."
As soon as he said that, Shen Yao's high heels came right at him. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you enough face outside, but when we get home, you can do whatever you want."
Her words made Li Chao and the others all look at Shen Yao. They felt like only Xu Cheng's woman would dare to say something like that.
"Oh, it's Sister-in-law, sorry for not recognizing you." Wu Gang and the others immediately came over to pour the beer.
