When he came to the director's office, Xu Cheng knocked on the door and saluted. The director knew it was him, so he smiled. "Have a seat."
Xu Cheng sat down, and the director personally poured him a cup of tea.
"How's the case going?"
"I'm still following up on it. It seems like West Gate always has the shadow of an underground money house behind them, which means that their headquarters might be in Shangcheng. I want to find all of them. Director, can you ask the customs department to check on the ships going to Wei Nation and see if there's a large amount of cash being transferred?"
The director waved his hand. "There's no need for that. If they want to keep an eye on them, it would be useless. It would be very difficult for them to come in again in the future. Taking out a large amount of cash out of the country is basically useless, because RMB can't circulate in many places like US dollars. The underground money house's large amount of cash can only circulate within the country, and if they really want to transport it out of the country, it would be very difficult for them to transport such a large amount of cash back into the country. So, for now, they can only transfer the cash to other cities. The higher-ups really praised you for the West Gate case, and you didn't destroy a single soldier. Well done. I want to hear your next step. "
"You just reminded me. Then, I think that the owner of the transport company that was released without any charges might be used by the underground money house," Xu Cheng said.
"Oh?" The director faintly smiled. "Why do you say that?"
"First of all, this transport company owner is backed by the South Asian drug lords. After losing so much money this time, there's no way the underground money house wouldn't give them an explanation. Just when we thought they might have a falling out, I think this transport company will use their connections to transfer the underground money house's funds out. Right now, Changqing's confession didn't clearly state where the underground money house's headquarters is, and he didn't see the real headquarters either. So, if we follow the clues he gave us, the underground money house will definitely transfer the funds, and I think the only thing we can't track down is the private cars."
"This is the biggest reason why you let the transport company owner go so quickly and didn't investigate his company, right?" The director immediately frowned. "Shangcheng isn't like other cities. Most of the private cars that go to other cities every day belong to the middle class, so it's going to be very troublesome to investigate. Although the city bureau fully supports this operation, I'm afraid that investigating private cars will attract a lot of trouble and complaints."
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "Director, I know, that's why I didn't report it to you on my own. But this time, if I'm the one investigating, it will save a lot of trouble. I promise, I won't just randomly investigate. I can promise the higher-ups that if it's really like I said, there's a possibility of the underground money house transferring funds, I will find it."
Director: "Okay, as long as you are confident. Your performance this time has given the higher-ups confidence. Since you already have plans, I only care about the results. This time, you must do it beautifully. "
After that, he changed the topic and said with a smile, "How is it? Do you like your job here? I heard from your instructor that you still want to go back to the army. What's wrong? Isn't it better to achieve something here than in the army? "
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "That's not what I meant. I'm still a soldier, and I want to be a pure spearhead!"
Director: "But your brain isn't something a ruffian soldier should have."
He secretly tried to persuade Xu Cheng, "Listen to me, Xu Cheng, your talent is indeed not bad. If you stay here, you will shine sooner or later. I believe that if you stay in Shangcheng, the social security and crime rate will definitely be reduced."
Xu Cheng sighed. "Director, I understand what you mean, but staying in Shangcheng to maintain social security is indeed a job that serves the people. However, staying in Shangcheng to maintain social order is indeed a job that serves the people. I know that staying here will give me a better chance of getting promoted and making a fortune. In the future, I might even get fame and power, and this is the path that every man wants to take. However, I still feel that being a pure soldier is like a sharp knife stabbing at Yang Guowei, not the people back home, but the people who go abroad! "
The director's eyes narrowed, and then he looked at Xu Cheng in a higher light. Then, he slightly nodded. "I got it. You think the stage is too small, right?"
He gave a wry smile as if he was deep in thought. "That's right. It's a bit of a waste to keep you here. But you have to know that if you join the army, even if you become a top-notch soldier, you won't have a better chance of fame, money, or even power than you have now. That kind of rising to the stage of playing for the country is arduous and unrewarding.
Xu Cheng: "I've thought about it very clearly. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me for overestimating myself, but regarding the special forces selection, I won't give up, and this year, I will go back to the army to participate."
Seeing how determined Xu Cheng was, the director also sighed. "Sigh, I really want to give your instructor a good scolding. Was he the one who encouraged you not to enter politics?"
"No, but he understands me." Xu Cheng lightly smiled.
The director smacked his lips. "You can leave if you want, but can you pack up the four Gates and take them with you before you leave?"
Xu Cheng laughed. "You have that much confidence in me to topple all four Gates?"
"I didn't before, but I do now." The director grinned, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This case is very big, and no one but you can handle it. You have the military behind you, and you don't know how many people will help you. Even if you screw this up, I'm sure there will be a lot of people protecting you. So, don't blame me for relying on you to do this."
Xu Cheng saluted. "Director, I'm still very grateful for your trust in me ever since I was a patrol officer. I will continue to follow up on this case, at least before I go back to the army."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink when I'm free, the kind where we don't have a subordinate relationship. I also came from the army, so let's get to know each other."
"Okay." Xu Cheng responded and smiled. "Then I'll get back to work."
"Go." The director nodded, and then he watched Xu Cheng leave the office. After his secretary closed the door, he turned around to look at the director and asked worriedly, "Director, do you think he can pack up West Gate?"
"I don't know." The director shook his head.
The secretary paused for a second.
Then, he heard the director continue, "But I only know that the higher-ups told me about it. Thinking about the people up there, plus he already toppled two Gates, I feel like he can take down four Gates!"
The secretary hesitated for a second and wanted to say something. "Who's up there? Can I know? "
The director smiled and said, "You wouldn't know what they do even if I told you. Anyway, it's an independent department with a lot of power, and the things they do will be unbelievable to you. The people they have their eyes on won't be too bad. So, you can make friends with this guy, in case you lose your qualifications in the future."
