255: Chapter 109 He struggled with all his might to climb next to the beast, and then…

Four people’s stories, divided into two factions.

Coincidentally, the leaders of both sides reached a consensus to play their own subordinates.

One can only say, the world of adults is not easy.

Making some money, doing some things, it’s really hard, there’s just too much to pay attention to.

You not only have to be smart but also ruthless, harsh on yourself and harsh on your subordinates, and what’s more important is a bit of luck.

Li Haiping clearly had that luck; he didn’t need to experience what squalor was anymore.

Just as Cheng Daqi and Gru had anticipated, Jax’s brain and wisdom led him to make the right choice.

“Respected Chan, today’s incident was my fault, boss, I’ve caused you trouble!”

This clever officer chose to take the blame upon himself, giving Gru some wiggle room!

In the eyes of Jax, his own face wasn’t worth a penny.

He understood the tangle between his boss and Cheng Daqi, and how crucial Cheng Daqi was.

It was precisely because he knew Gru’s predicament that he wanted to catch Cheng Daqi in the act, giving Gru a chance to get a hold over Cheng Daqi.

But if his meddling were to push Gru and Cheng Daqi to become enemies, that would be even more troubling!

So, Jax chose to stand up and take on everything himself.

To this astute officer’s discovery, the factory became suddenly quiet after he finished speaking.

Elder Li’s teeth were still chattering; this kind of silence was like the calm before the execution, oppressively silent, making him suffocate.

The tension in the rogue cop finally eased; he could finally take a breath.

Gru had frequently consulted with him on how to deal with Cheng Daqi, which was why Gru was so worried about him betraying his trust.

Now, it seemed there was no problem with Jax; he was still on Gru’s side!

“Congratulations, the most dangerous situation has been averted, Mr.

Gru!”

Cheng Daqi said with a smile as he clapped his hands and patted Jax on the shoulder.

“You’ve done well, Jax, really well.

Are you interested in working for a company?

Being a police officer is somewhat risky; in a company, there’s less risk for one, and I can offer you a salary that you’ll be happy with.”

Elder Li and Jax were both stunned.

It seemed as if within a second, the brewing storm that could pour down at any moment had suddenly dissipated, and the situation appeared to have changed all of a sudden.

How could they have imagined that they had just been played by their bosses?

“Chan, take a seat.

I think we can really be frank with each other, we’re friends.”

Gru’s voice had a touch of relief as he finally set aside all his prejudices and underestimations of Cheng Daqi.

Cheng Daqi had once again overpowered him with his strength and even helped him solve a big problem.

Jax was his most important confidant; if he could not be sure if Jax had betrayed him, Gru really wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

“Now that we’re friends, why don’t you let Jax join me?

He can step down from his position as Chief of the Niangniang Temple Police Station, and you’ll be perfectly placed to step in.

My new company is short-staffed, he could come help me expand the business, and that would let you join in the second round of financing earlier.”

CEO Cheng, true to his name, not only wanted to use Gru’s people but also aimed to rope in Gru’s money.

What’s more outrageous is that he said so without a hint of remorse.

He was still fixated on the talent.

Jax was the kind of person who paid great attention to details and had a strong strategic vision.

Such talent, even if lacking certain professional skills, could certainly make up for it through work experience.

“Boss, I will execute all your orders without hesitation!”

Gru was already immune to Cheng Daqi’s brazen behavior but Jax couldn’t help but take a stand.

He really couldn’t grasp the current situation, so he simply firmly expressed his unwavering loyalty to Gru.

The top rogue cop signaled Jax to let Elder Li go, then turned to Cheng Daqi and said.

“Chan, what should I do next?”

Cheng Daqi shook his head and said meaningfully.

“Isn’t it not urgent?

Why the rush?”

Of course, Gru was anxious; his skills did not suit the situation of the game he was now in.

Or rather, his methodology couldn’t adapt to the current status of his life’s version update.

Someone was targeting him, messing with the rhythm of his promotion, making him uncomfortable with the uncertainty.

And Gru had already recognized the brilliance of Cheng Daqi, he was completely convinced.

So, he wanted to seek help from Cheng Daqi.

However, he had indeed been somewhat disrespectful to Cheng Daqi in the past, and Cheng Daqi had not been light on reprimanding him today.

Including right now.

Gru had just been repeating over and over that there was no hurry, no urgency, and Cheng Daqi was just repeating his words.

The mere reiteration had a significant impact.

To some extent, Gru was really a shameless and unprincipled man, but his violence was directed only at those weaklings who showed their fangs at him.

Even with Tonks, he would maintain a facade of respect.

But Cheng Daqi was reshaping his image too damn fast in his eyes.

Every time he saw Cheng Daqi, he lost a bit more of his composure, and now, Gru was left with nothing but embarrassment.

Seeing Gru say nothing, Cheng Daqi chose to clear the room of irrelevant people first.

“Elder Li, what are you dawdling for, it’s getting late, go home and get some sleep.”

Being dismissed while the big bosses talk is quite a face-losing matter, but for Li Haiping, Cheng Daqi’s words brought him a tremendous joy as if he were hearing divine music which momentarily restored sight to the blind.

He could finally leave, and leave alive at that.

Elder Li wiped away the silent tears and softly said, “Thank you, CEO Cheng,” before leaving without looking back.

Watching Li Haiping’s retreating figure, the three in the old factory remained silent.

When smart people talk, especially when it’s about such big stakes, everyone is calculating, everyone is pondering.

“Boss, no matter what happens, you can always trust me!”

Jax was the one with the least psychological burden.

He had finally realized that the recent events were a test for him, and from the conversation between Cheng Daqi and Gru, he became aware that Gru might have encountered some kind of danger or predicament.

Therefore, he clearly expressed his stance to steadfastly stand by Gru.

“You go out first, too, I want to talk to Chan alone, let Thor go back first, and I’ll look for you later.”

The top black cop also chose to clear the scene.

Jax hesitated for a moment, but ultimately left under Gru’s eye signal.

In the empty old factory, only Cheng Daqi and Gru remained.

Another round began, and it was the most important one!

However, Cheng Daqi was now the composed one, the one who held the advantage.

In every detail of his past dealings with Gru, he had given his all, and at last, he reaped what he deserved.

He no longer had to be careful and cautious.

“Chan, perhaps you’re not aware, but in the eyes of someone like Temir, we are not considered human beings.

Therefore, in my eyes, your act of sticking a bomb to me is no different from seeking death.”

Gru’s voice was very low, and he spoke each word with utmost seriousness, his entire being in an extremely focused state.

He was preparing for battle!

He needed to convince Cheng Daqi that he could treat Cheng Daqi as a friend and was not merely feigning cordiality out of concern for Temir.

“Unfortunately, Mr.

Gru, I became aware of this the first time I met her.

I remember back then I was a vagrant.

But Mi’er didn’t disdain me; instead, she treated me as a sincere partner and gave me significant help as a friend.”

Elder Li, cut the chase.

It’s usually me going in circles around others, and it’s pretty ridiculous that you now want to show off in front of me.

And the point you mentioned, I had already cleared it with her the first time I met Temir.

“Chan, have you ever considered that a woman’s heart can change?

Do you know Temir’s past?”

The top black cop laughed; he didn’t believe that Cheng Daqi would still feel even the slightest affection for that woman after hearing about Temir’s past.

In Gru’s view, no woman in the world was trustworthy!

“Indeed, I’ve never looked into it, Mr.

Gru.

A lover’s relationship has nothing to do with the past.

I love who she is now.”

Cheng Daqi thought Gru’s attempts to sow discord were rather childish.

He and Temir were not truly in love; their relationship was a standard alliance based on mutual benefit, playing Gru from the start without raising any suspicions.

To Cheng Daqi, Gru’s current attempts at stirring discord with his relationship with Temir truly seemed more clownish than blonde turtle Scott.

“She graduated from UCLA, studied in Saint Rodu for almost three years.

Back then, she was a well-known ‘bus’ at UCLA.

According to some calculated statistics, she slept with at least a hundred men during those years.

The number of guys she’s been with might be more than all the women you’ve ever seen!” said the top black cop, not without a hint of mockery.

Part of his contempt for Cheng Daqi in the past included this very reason.

Back then, he was not aware of Cheng Daqi’s capabilities; he only felt that this was a man who had sold his dignity to climb upward.

Cheng Daqi indeed learned for the first time about this aspect of Temir’s past, and Gru’s words genuinely shocked him.

A hundred?

Mi’er, it seems you really are quite extraordinary.

But realizing this was America, Cheng Daqi no longer found it strange.

“Mr.

Gru, such simple provocations are useless.

The clothes I wear have been meticulously prepared for me by her, the car I sit in is her Mushang, and the house I live in was bought for me with her money.

Apart from the emotional aspect, I’ve started two companies in America, and Mi’er invested 1.8 million Dollars, admiring my abilities and optimistic about my future.

We are not just lovers, but also close business partners.”

Cheng Daqi’s words blocked all avenues for Gru to continue his instigation.

The top black cop sighed; he truly didn’t understand women, nor did he comprehend why Cheng Daqi could be so magnanimous.

Of course, Cheng Daqi was magnanimous because he had never intended to play real emotions with Temir from the start.

Such a woman, not to mention a complicated past, just by her identity and status alone, was a bomb too dangerous for Cheng Daqi to play with.

“Chan, I’m somewhat at a loss for the next step to take.

The only person who could act against me is Niu Sen.

Only he can block my escape routes in every direction.

Jax is no exception; several of my men have been transferred away from my side by him.”

In such a situation and with such words, Cheng Daqi felt a twinge of emotion.

Gru’s implication was almost like: Bro, there were too many people around just now, now I’m kneeling before you, please help me.

“Are you that certain it’s Niu Sen?”

This was the second time Cheng Daqi had asked this question; actually, he had already indirectly inquired once before.

Niu Sen, the Governor of California, the future king of the Democratic Party, and the undisputed top figure of the West Coast.

If Niu Sen was indeed the one acting against Gru, then it was a big problem.

“No one else could act so quickly.

The kidnapping case just happened not long ago; a large-scale operation against my men requires higher-level power.

The current police chief doesn’t qualify, and neither does the chairman of the Shipping Association.

It has to be him.”

The top black cop said somewhat regretfully.

Having come so far, winning so many times, Gru and his brothers had done everything in their power.

They trampled the law, defied morals, acted shamelessly, and had no bottom line.

To climb higher, Gru killed so many of his colleagues and his superiors.

Now, he finally stood in front of a behemoth.

This behemoth raised its eyes and realized that something was off with Gru.

Then exhaled, moved his fingers slightly, and Gru’s ship began to waver in the storm.

“Then you have to give me a good price, Mr.

Gru,” Cheng Daqi said meaningfully.
