Chapter 162: I Really Want to See What You Can Achieve In the Future (Part one)
Xu Cheng shouted, and the people inside the passage that were transporting the cash turned around to see a group of fully-armed officers pointing their guns at them. These guys immediately got scared shatless and dropped the money they were carrying.
Li Chao and Wu Gang shouted as they charged into the vault with other officers, and the ambassador almost lost his balance as he felt a chill down his spine. By the corner, Zuozhi had already fainted.
“President!” Those from the business alliance all went to try to help him up.
Xu Cheng looked at everyone around him and said, “Hurry and detain everyone here, including the ambassador!”
The special police officers began getting to work and cuffing people up, and a group had already began sorting through the black money inside the vault. The officers downstairs directly blocked off the safe passages and entrances.
After about an hour, about 40 or so people were escorted down the building into the police cars. Then, a few cash-transporting vehicles came and loaded up the black money.
The local and national news headline that day was: Underground money house that had been lurking for dozen years in Shangcheng finally apprehended. A total of 15 billion yuan was seized!
This incident directly shocked East and South Gate to impotency.
And then, the Wei Nation Embassy that got involved directly brought shame to their country. In the Wei Nation, the prime minister directly smashed the document onto the ground and said to his assistant, “Send an apology to Huaxia. Since the evidence is solid, then don’t mind the ambassador that got taken in and just get someone to replace him. Let him fend for himself!”
Assistant frowned. “Then about the Business Alliance…?”
The prime minister directly slapped the desk and shouted, “Could it be that they expect me to send a facking army over to help them take back that black money? What a bunch of greedy capitalists!”
Recently in the political achievement aspect, Shangcheng had been setting the example for all cities across the country. First, they annihilated the old city underground North Gate gang, and then they sniped the West Gate’s money-laundering case, and now they even uprooted the entire underground money house! Not to mention the underground money house, just killing 2 out of the 4 Gates was enough to spike the police morale and kill the four Gates’ reputations and confidence, and that was what the officials needed the most. The underground forces in Shangcheng had been too prominent, and they took advantage of the conveniences of underground operation and cooperated with many businesses. This entire chain was something that the government and police had a lot of trouble trying to suppress. Besides, in an economy-centric city like Huaxia, many of their policies favored businesses, and it had been a pain in the azz that those businesses had been helping out with the growth of the underground forces. But now, the four Gates’ morale could be viewed as completely dead, and with 2 already down, the other 2 left basically had to start tip-toeing. On the other hand, the rich business groups were also shocked.
It had only been about 2 months since it all started, and the series of vigorous and aggressive operations and attacks had been unprecedented. It was because they belittled and despised the police in the past, this whole thing just happened way too quickly, and it was like hitting a slippery snake right at its most vulnerable spot.
And then, through the whole storm-like operation, a name began surfacing among the rich businessmen’s circle – Xu Cheng!
Just two months ago, this insignificant officer was just a patrol officer. Yet, he got into the criminal police department in just a month and stirred up a storm. He almost arrested everyone that deserved to be arrested, and what shocked everyone even more was that he even managed to throw the Wei Nation’s ambassador into the chaos! And the attitude on the Wei Nation’s side also confirmed that they did not intend on saving the ambassador. This spoke volumes of how damning the evidence that was in the police’s possession was.
Now, let’s take a look again at the characters that were eaten by the whole police tiger storm.
First, it was North Gate and its infamous leader, Gate Master Yan. In the social ranking of Shangcheng, Gate Master Yan’s level of influence could be ranked in the top 100!

Then, there were the four kings that had been running the West Gate show for decades! Speaking of the level of influence, they could for sure squeeze into the top 20! During this series of events, all of their invisible assets were seized, and they also lost the operation licenses for their four casinos. The core managers of West Gate’s management were also detained and currently being interrogated.
And then the most shocking one had to be the underground money house. This was a money house that almost every business knew about and had contact with. The money house was very secretive and loaded, and it was a dark force that had its own channels and means to cover up all of its tracks. Yet, their ship also flipped in this storm!
The representative of the underground money house, Cunye, was already convicted with a death sentence.
And then, the party that was also involved – the Wei Nation’s Business Alliance in Shangcheng!
Now that was a big fish! This business alliance had so many enterprises in Shangcheng and had a high level of influence. However, after it was exposed of colluding with the underground money house, the Wei Nation had nothing to say. Moreover, it also dragged its embassy into this as well. It could be said that on the diplomatic level, they completely lost their nation’s face internationally. It was heard that Huaxia also wanted to escalate this issue and sue the Wei Nation for attempting to manipulate the Huaxia currency with the underground money market with malicious motives.
On the Wei Nation’s side, they really wanted to swear but they couldn’t. Not only did they lose people and money, they were also getting sued.
Huaxia’s government no doubt felt superb about this whole event that dealt a huge blow to the Wei Nation. At major events and conferences, the government also praised Shangcheng’s police force nonstop, and Shangcheng’s police officials also felt like they were walking on clouds. All of a sudden, so many people wanted to visit the Director of the police force, and it was also obvious that he would be recorded into the history’s hall of fame for what the city was able to accomplish.
However, this superstar wasn’t at home nor at the police HQ. Rather, he went to Xu Cheng’s condo and was drinking with him.
He was very happy and also very thankful that Xu Cheng did so much for the city.
“Come, Xu Cheng, we both came from the military. I know you don’t like politics, so today, we are just comrades from the army! Big Brother, I will pour you a glass! Cheers! I must thank you for creating a great opening for Shangcheng’s officials. Now, East and South Gate will probably behave themselves even if you don’t show your face again, and the police force’s influence and reputation have also been on the rise in the Shangcheng business circle. It is all thanks to you!” As the director said this, he drank the entire glass to show respect and then poured himself another glass.
Xu Cheng smiled. “Director, if it wasn’t for you putting your trust in me, I’m afraid that I would be pretty restrained in a lot of cases.”
The director said cheerfully, “I trust you because you have the capabilities, and you completely deserve the police tiger title! Today, I think you also know my intentions of coming to visit. I still hope that you can stay behind and manage this city.”
“Senior Brother, I think you understand my intentions too.” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. “In fact, ever since I went up against the ambassador, I already made up my mind on leaving. I already know about the Wei Nation Embassy pressing charges against me. I indeed did well on my case, but on the diplomatic level, I also smeared the image of our country a bit. I was a bit too stubborn in my own ways when handling the case, so I also wanted to take this opportunity to leave the police force.”
The director bitterly smiled. “Then why don’t you ask the higher ups? Don’t you know how much they appreciate and value you? A police officer should be like you, daring to do and shoulder responsibilities! Do you know why every year we would import people from the military? Because we need elites like you that don’t try to assimilate with the crowd and only recognize the law. I hope you can still think about it. Don’t be too hasty in making your decision.”
Xu Cheng looked at him, laughed and said, “Senior Brother, in fact, I wanted to leave because I don’t want to be assimilated. I’m still young, and it’s really not my style to stay behind and enjoy the glory brought by the tiger police title.”
Then, he raised his cup and smiled. “Here, let this be our temporary farewell feast!”
The director looked at him deeply. “I really want to see what you can achieve in the future!”
