Chapter 365: Counteract Him


"We are cooperating with Liu Zhenguo. With Liu Zhenguo's extensive network of relationships, it's just a matter of making a phone call to eliminate obstacles. Of course, cooperating with the police, we do need to show some sincerity..."

They thought about counteracting him before resolving the issue.

Xiao Cheng looked at the persistent girl persuading him and couldn't figure out where she got her confidence from, thinking he would agree.

Was he the kind of fool who could be swayed with just a few words?

"Ah Cheng, are you even listening?" Bai Lu finished speaking and kissed the lips of the big shot, who remained cold and silent.

Xiao Cheng felt this was a bit of compensation. "Continue."

Bai Lu frowned, sounding displeased at being ignored. "I've already finished."

Xiao Cheng touched her head in recollection. "You mentioned that the Criminal Investigation Brigade was sent down to cooperate with Liu Zhenguo?"

Hearing that he was indeed listening seriously and could point out the key points, Bai Lu's displeasure disappeared from her face.

She elaborated, "In recent days, although the focus of the provincial TV news is no longer on suppressing events like mass brawls, it doesn't mean such incidents are a thing of the past or no longer of concern to higher-ups. The focus has shifted to the shadows."

"On the day the air conditioners and refrigerators arrived, when I was helping out in the city, I saw many police officers patrolling the streets and alleys, but there were no measures taken to improve the city's appearance."

Improving the city's appearance involves various measures, including organizing street vendors, rectifying chaotic lanes, regulating street shops, and addressing issues like vehicles parking haphazardly.

As Xiao Cheng stroked the girl's soft long hair, he listened to her say, "Normally, when the city's appearance is being improved, it's to welcome the arrival of higher-ups."

"The focus is on maintaining good public order, allowing people to live and work in peace, and presenting a prosperous scene, signifying an era of stability and prosperity."

"Just patrolling without taking any corrective measures, without a doubt, is to prepare for the arrival of the Criminal Investigation Brigade from above and to conduct ongoing stabilization measures, providing real-time information to the undercover investigators of the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

"What Pingcheng has been doing during this period is undoubtedly to prepare for the arrival of the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

Xiao Cheng was not surprised that Bai Lu knew so much, such detailed information. The identities of the people in that Beijing family were not ordinary, they belonged to a high-ranking family, living in a large compound, with military ranks.

Perhaps there were even government officials.

Before Bai Lu came here, it was normal for her to be familiar with the officialdom if she had a relationship with that family.

What surprised Xiao Cheng was that Bai Lu, in order to make him believe this, didn't hesitate to provide such detailed information.

With a face that didn't blush, a heart that didn't skip a beat, and lungs that didn't pant, she came up with a seemingly truthful and legitimate reason.

She said, "When you go to settle the bill tonight, I overheard people at the next table discussing what dishes to bring back to the bureau's leaders that would suit their tastes."

"They were very respectful in tone, but the discussion was very quiet, obviously undercover investigators who couldn't be known to the outside world. If nothing unexpected happens, the Criminal Investigation Brigade has already arrived, and the people discussing at the next table are definitely plainclothes police officers."

Xiao Cheng believed Bai Lu's inference, and when she looked up and met his gaze, he nodded in agreement with her reasoning.

Although he knew all the people at Pingcheng Police Station and had seen everyone dining in the restaurant at the time.

In fact, there were no plainclothes police officers.

"What kind of cases does the Criminal Investigation Brigade generally handle?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Bai Lu, seeing Xiao Cheng, thought of the four major forces in the southern city, speaking seriously and rigorously, "They're responsible for major and serious criminal cases, organized economic crimes, involvement in black and terrorist activities, and major criminal group series... They will also be equipped with Interpol as needed, mainly focusing on combating criminal forces."

In other words, the Criminal Investigation Brigade is here to investigate the four major forces and the entire range of black-related incidents.

In the previous life, Xiao Cheng came out in the middle of next month. During this period, the Criminal Investigation Brigade had not yet arrived.

The battle for territory between the big boss and Li Chengbin had just escalated from minor conflicts to full-scale warfare.

It would probably take two or three days for the full-scale warfare to escalate, and at the same time, the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the criminal police arrived in Pingcheng, swiftly launching an investigation.

With Liu Zhenguo, who had been an inside man in Pingcheng for many years, cooperating inside and out, everything would be uncovered, and those who needed to be punished would be punished.

Those who needed to be released would be released.

In this life, the trajectory has changed. Xiao Cheng didn't go in, and the battle for territory between the big boss and Li Chengbin hadn't started either.

However, the Criminal Investigation Brigade arrived earlier than in the previous life, obviously related to the turmoil of the four major forces last time.

The forces of the big boss and Li Chengbin's father-in-law are deeply rooted and not so easy to eradicate.

It was also gradually rectified in the previous life.

In the end, all four major forces were overthrown, taking many years and sacrificing many people's heroes.

The covert investigation, unknown to anyone and ignored by everyone, the prosperity and stability of future generations, were all exchanged for years of the heroes' flesh and blood.

The failure of the mission, the insufficient strength of the blow, led to a backlash, all because the information was not comprehensive enough, and the undercover agents could not infiltrate the internal ranks.

At this time, if there was an insider familiar with the four major forces who cooperated with them.

Providing them with favorable information.

They would naturally reciprocate with the same cooperation, providing corresponding facilitation.

Some difficult roads would be smooth.

Difficult bones would also be crushed and removed through cooperation.

The economic layout could proceed smoothly, gradually growing under official friendly assistance.

But such actions, for insiders, amounted to betrayal of the organization.

When resisting suppression, it's self-defense. Preparing in advance to confront the organization is direct confrontation.

However, actively providing deep-seated information unknown to others to the authorities, and joining hands with the authorities to destroy one's old home, whether externally or internally, amounts to betrayal.

After all, Xiao Cheng had worked for the big boss for many years, and whether the organization was good or bad, the work was like licking a knife, full of scars, but he had been paid accordingly.

He had gone through the hard times of sleeping rough.

For the big boss to deal with Xiao Cheng and Xiao Cheng to counterattack, it was a straightforward game between the two parties.

The intervention of a third party... would change the game.

Bai Lu admitted that she was indeed trying to turn Xiao Cheng.

Her and Xiao Cheng's families were here, doing business here would definitely clash with the four major forces.
