Hearing Xu Cheng's words, Chang Qing's face changed drastically. "You've been following me?"
Xu Cheng said, "As expected of the leader of the four kings of West Gate. Although you're old, your brain is still pretty sharp. No wonder West Gate can achieve what it has today. You guys have contributed a lot."
Chang Qing narrowed his eyes. "You found the four of us?"
Xu Cheng: "Weren't the three of you already arrested? With the confession of the boat driver, it's almost impossible for them to escape the crime of money laundering. But you, do you think you're guilty? "
Chang Qing snorted. "What crime?"
Xu Cheng smiled. "Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger. Back then, you guys all got tattoos on your chests to establish your friendship. However, I noticed that among the four tattoos, there's a Black Tortoise tattoo missing. Mr. Chang, can you please explain to me why?"
Chang Qing's face instantly changed, and he stared at Xu Cheng in horror. If he had a gun right now, he would definitely kill Xu Cheng immediately! But he was unarmed right now.
After a long while, Chang Qing finally came back to his senses and bitterly smiled. Then, he looked at Xu Cheng with hatred. "I thought you were just someone who was good at fighting but didn't have a brain. First, you offended North Gate, and then West Gate. Now that I think about it, you sure have a big heart! "
Xu Cheng didn't deny this compliment. He laughed and said, "In our military region, if you want to make a name for yourselves, you have to catch the big fish to get promoted. The four Gates have always been a thorn in the side of the government. In fact, if you guys really wanted to be promoted, it wouldn't be a big deal. You guys can only blame yourselves for being righteous on the outside but crooked on the inside. "
Chang Qing snorted. "Rules are dead, people are alive. Similarly, the law is also dead, it just depends on how you operate it. But, as for you, I really regret not killing you back then!"
"Mr. Chang, did your West Gate never think about killing me? That hitman organization was still drinking tea in my police station. You guys sure have guts, daring to even assassinate a police officer, "Xu Cheng said.
"You're just a small policeman. No matter how high your rank is, if you block someone else's path, you'll still be slashed!" Chang Qing said.
Xu Cheng sighed. "That's why, to deal with people like you, it's not enough to just shut down your businesses. We have to uproot them as well. As the saying goes, if the wildfire can't burn it, it will grow again with the spring breeze!"
Chang Qing looked at him in disdain. "I admit that you're lucky. First, you destroyed North Gate, and now you want to destroy West Gate. But I want to tell you that you can destroy all four gates, but you can't destroy the dark side of human nature. With North Gate and West Gate as an example, do you think South Gate and East Gate won't be wary of you? Once they focus on dealing with a Criminal Investigation Department team leader like you, you will die without a burial place! "
Xu Cheng suddenly grinned.
Chang Qing frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Cheng: "I'm laughing at the same words you said when I was still a patrol officer, just like those thugs from North Gate. At that time, their eyes were filled with arrogance and arrogance, as if killing me was as easy as killing an ant. When facing people like this, the first thing you should do is not to argue, because it's pointless to argue. I just like to use my actions to show my counterattack. Every time I see scum like this, I will catch them and beat them up. Later, I got scared of beating them up, and reality has told me that when dealing with people like you, don't talk too much. If talking could save your rotten hearts, then you guys wouldn't be out here in the first place. The only way is to fight first. In the past, I might not be able to show my face in public, and even your underlings looked at me with disdain. But now, do you still think I don't have the right to talk to you on the same level?"
Speaking up to this point, Xu Cheng looked at Chang Qing mockingly. "Being out here in the underworld is just a competition to see who's more ruthless. As the saying goes, it's easy to be a bad guy, but hard to be a good guy. Where do you guys get the pride to raise yourselves up so high? You want to bully some cowardly commoners to gain the airs you want? To me, this is simply too weak. "
Chang Qing faintly said, "Why do you have to deal with the four Gates? We have nothing to do with you at all. "
Xu Cheng: "Isn't that simple? It's just that when you guys bullied the civilians, you just happened to bully someone with a bad temper like me. I've always been looked down upon since I was a kid, so when I joined the army, I told myself that if anyone messes with me again, I will fight them. After I joined the army, I felt that if I wanted to make a change, then I should set a small goal first. For example, I should wipe out the four Gates of Shangcheng first. "
Chang Qing almost coughed up blood after hearing this. The four Gates of Shangcheng was a local tyrant, and they were able to dominate the underworld of Shangcheng for more than a decade. How could they be a small goal in your eyes?
"Brat, I wasn't even as arrogant as you when I was out in the underworld."
Xu Cheng looked at him with disdain. "Because you guys are barefooted, and I have the country behind me. Isn't it obvious who's more powerful?"
Pu!
This time, Chang Qing really wanted to cough up blood.
He looked at Xu Cheng and said, "What do you want?"
Xu Cheng: "Cooperate with me."
Chang Qing: "Are you kidding me? You want me, a criminal, to cooperate with the police? Do you think cooperating with you will exempt me from jail? "
"It's fine if you don't want to cooperate, but you have two choices. One, back then, the four of you robbed a bank and caused countless deaths and injuries. Then, you casually used four scapegoats to close the case, and I've already caught them with the evidence. The four of you used the money you robbed to get rich, and this crime is more than enough for you to be sentenced to death. As for the second choice, if you cooperate with me, we can uncover the big fish that is the underground money house. Then, you can choose to spend the rest of your life in jail."
Chang Qing was furious. "What's the difference? Isn't it just restricting my freedom in the end? "
Xu Cheng laughed. "Of course there's a difference between being alive and being dead. If you're alive, you have millions of possibilities, but if you're dead, there's nothing left. Thinking about how you guys said that the four of you were hiding and manipulating West Gate, it's not hard to see that the older you get, the more afraid you are of death. You still have children and grandchildren, and if you're alive, you can still see your loved ones from time to time. But if you die, it proves that you are trying to escape from the crime and stain. Think about it, how will your loved ones view you in the future? I don't even need to use that case from 20 years ago to arrest you, but with the current situation, how many days do you think you can live? Although you are threatening East Gate, you are only pushing yourself to the path of death a little faster. "
