591: Chapter 99: The Beasts Standing in the Dark Actually Crave Light_2 591: Chapter 99: The Beasts Standing in the Dark Actually Crave Light_2 Armed with that kind of automatic firepower, Scott understood that drinking anywhere was illegal, but he had already made up his mind.

Watching CEO Cheng and Riel’s backs, the blond veteran anxiously lit a cigarette, then quickly snuffed it out.

Now he was left alone, facing the potential peeping eyes in the darkness all by himself.

“Chan, should I switch with Cort for a while?

If someone is following us, I can drag it out a little longer.”

“Hahaha, it’s fine, Riel.

Explaining too much directly to him would be unacceptable to him.

It’s better to do it bit by bit.

Them suddenly coming tonight indicates that the situation is very urgent, but choosing to meet late at night should be relatively safe.

I was just giving him a taste of being in the game.”

“Chan, aren’t you tired of thinking so much every day?”

“I can’t afford to be tired.

Just wait here and stay alert.”

Cheng Daqi sighed and opened the basement door that was slightly ajar with light shining through.

Behind the door was a pile upon pile of old miscellaneous items, with only Gru and Jax present.

They sat on two old sofas with an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts in front of them.

“Mr.

Gru, long time no see.

Riel told me that Jax was looking for me, so I came.”

The top-tier corrupt cop lifted his head to glance at Cheng Daqi and pointed to the seat opposite him.

“We’ve been marked.”

Marked again.

Last time it was Niu Sen, who is it this time?

“I came over tonight?”

“No trouble.

If the boss is marked, I shouldn’t be.

He came through the tunnels, and I blended in during an LAPD operation tonight.”

Cheng Daqi ignored Jax and just kept his gaze fixed on Gru.

“Whose men?”

“Forbes.

Our merchandise, the ones you shipped from Hua Country, there are too many of them, and it got Forbes’s attention.”

“Mr.

Gru, those are Niu Sen’s people.

What are you afraid of?”

Cheng Daqi noticed a loophole in Gru’s words and managed to stump the top-tier corrupt cop.

Identities, businesses, and black market surgeries had Geweil’s silent partnership, and Niu Sen got wrapped up in it all.

Partly, it was to expand the Democratic Party’s voter base among immigrants, and partly for profit.

Besides, if this blew up, Elder Li would handle it.

How could it be that Forbes would target Gru’s men?

Jax wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept quiet— he knew all too well how formidable CEO Cheng was.

There was no need for excuses.

“What’s the real reason?” Cheng Daqi continued to press.

Gru’s brows knitted together, and he spoke slowly.

“Last time you introduced me to Wolf Dracula, we got in touch with the Dracula Group and started providing them with organs.

I guess because of that it might be sensitive?”

Cheng Daqi’s eyes flickered momentarily; he thought of many things.

That the Dracula Family was under surveillance was something Mi’er had said herself, and was likely true, but those people had yet to make their move.

Had Gru’s gang become their breach?

This was not an easy question to answer, and perhaps no one could answer it.

Cheng Daqi was uncertain, so he chose to keep bluffing Gru.

“Fake.

The Dracula Family has been in this business for decades.

Their organ transplant technology serves America’s big shots.

Why would they be marked just because you got involved?”

Seeing that both reasons had been invalidated by CEO Cheng, Gru dropped the act and said bluntly.

“Chan, the club has too many people.

To distribute money, I increased the amount of goods shipped.

Some downstream buyers sold in other regions and were sniffed out and tracked back here by those people.”

“How do you know you’ve been marked?”

“One of the guys in the gang caught a Forbes who was tracking him.”

“How long had that person been following him?”

“At least three days.”

“Where is he held?”

“A secret place.”

“You hope I can give you a suggestion, so you’re shifting the blame onto me.

Mr.

Gru, that’s a bit disgraceful.

You’re a respectable person now, you shouldn’t do that.”

“Chan, the situation isn’t that dangerous.

We can keep control of that shipping guy, but the boss hopes for a better way to handle it, so we came to you.”

Jax tried to smooth things over, feeling that solving the problem should be the focus right now.

The two of them quieted down.

Cheng Daqi’s stance was clear, and he was now thinking about how to respond.

This seemed like Forbes was cracking down on drugs and stumbled upon Gru, but behind it were two possibilities that Cheng Daqi couldn’t explain to Gru—Achilles and the Dracula Family’s backers.

The former needed no explanation.

CEO Cheng couldn’t possibly apologize to Gru for involving him while accompanying Mi’er.

Some things in the adult world can’t be explained.

The latter was hard to determine.

At least Cheng Daqi couldn’t figure it out—Gru had said that his men were marked because they distributed too many goods.

Since he took responsibility himself, CEO Cheng didn’t need to interfere.

“Mr.

Gru, can you trust that subordinate of yours?”

“Of course I can trust him.

What do you mean?”

“I’m worried he might become bait.

Don’t clamp down on him too hard, understood?”

“Impossible, Chan.

If I can’t even trust him, I don’t know who else I could trust.”
