592: Chapter 99: The Beasts Standing in the Dark Actually Crave Light_3 592: Chapter 99: The Beasts Standing in the Dark Actually Crave Light_3 Seeing that Gru was adamant, Cheng Daqi didn’t dwell on this topic any longer.

He shifted the conversation and asked,

“I get it, so you’re saying he’s very reliable, then what are you afraid of?”

“Over the past three days, our gang held a large internal meeting…”

Seeing Cheng Daqi’s expression change, Gru hurriedly added.

“It’s not what you think.

I broke it up into five separate occasions and disguised each as a masquerade party, in accordance with the secret contact protocol you explained to me last time, which I deeply respect.”

“But even so, he got involved with a lot of people from the gang in other smaller gatherings.

Chan, I’m afraid there’s more than one Forbes keeping an eye on us.”

Jax, agitated, lit up a cigarette.

Deep down, he had this notion that it wasn’t good for the gang to grow too big.

The bigger it gets, the more noticeable it becomes, and the more likely it is to draw attention.

“What are your plans?

Let’s hear them.”

In the smoky, cluttered basement, three men silently smoked.

Mr.

Gru spoke slowly.

“Organize a learning event tomorrow morning, include everyone he’s connected with, then have the bus plunge into the sea or off a cliff.”

Gru knew he had to be responsible for his subordinates, but he was even more aware of how pervasive America’s intelligence monitoring was.

The LAPD’s gang is now at its most critical period of transformation.

Just get through this month, and these issues will become much more manageable in the future.

“Utterly idiotic, not even a pig could come up with such an idea.

Jax, what do you think?”

Cheng Daqi was shocked by Gru’s ruthlessness, but he understood how dangerous this plan was, so he turned to Jax.

Jax might not be the brightest, but he was wily in his own way, something CEO Cheng had learned firsthand.

“Boss, Chan, we need to get some things straight first.

We need the resolve to deal with this kind of…

scrutiny.

Secondly, we must act swiftly.”

Both CEO Cheng and Gru agreed with the two premises.

Seeing their nods, Jax continued to break it down.

“Delay leads to more problems.

He might be reliable, but not necessarily the others he’s been in touch with.

So, I agree with the boss’s idea.

A more ruthless approach can swiftly control the risk and will also deter others in the gang, making them think twice about the cost of betrayal.”

The two unscrupulous cops reached a disturbing consensus on taking any means necessary, exposing CEO Cheng once again to the diversity of human nature.

You have a flawed system on your own plate, draw in trouble, then choose to eliminate those burning.

Gru, Jax, you’re not even human!

Even beasts know to protect their young; you slay them first.

This is an atrocity beyond nature!

“Jax, go keep watch by the door.

I don’t trust Riel to be alone.”

CEO Cheng wanted to get rid of Jax first; he needed to talk to Gru alone.

But Jax worked for Gru, not for him, so Jax looked to Gru for guidance.

“Go ahead, I need to chat with Chan alone.”

—————–

“Let me start with a question.

Why didn’t you agree to bring Niu Sen into the LCE Cryptocurrency trading platform before?

I can’t figure this out.”

With Jax gone, Gru didn’t expect Cheng Daqi to care about this now.

He paused, then replied as if it were obvious.

“You choose the targets; I hit them; La Temier sets the stage.

Three people splitting the profits is already generous enough.

You want to bring Niu Sen in on top of that?

Chan, Niu Sen has a sizable influence, but he also has a huge appetite for money.”

“Do you remember the identity business?

Geweil took such a big cut, and he even lends at usurious rates to those smugglers.

People like him are too greedy; let them eat their fill, and what about my brothers?

You?

What about you?”

Idiot!

Initially, CEO Cheng thought Gru had grand ambitions.

Turns out, he was just money-hungry.

“Gru, are you serious with that answer?

I’m quite serious here.

This is about my judgment of you, of your future.”

The question was an insult coming from Cheng Daqi, akin to a naked humiliation.

He was verifying whether Gru was an idiot or not.

But of course, Gru was no fool, replying jokingly.

“Serious?

It’s more like you’re being humorous.

Don’t assume your ideas are always right.”

“Chan, I don’t expect to move up anymore, nor do I expect the world to change because of me.

To me, the most important thing is to make more money, to give bonuses to my brothers.”

“Young people like you always have lofty aspirations, always thinking you won’t stay in trouble for long.

You’re confident, but confidence can make you blind and lead you into danger beyond your capabilities.”

“Why not make money?

If I earn more, my men will be more obedient.

Isn’t that good?”

While this rationale might sound plausible, a closer look at Gru’s actions reveals issues.

Cheng Daqi laughed disdainfully.

“So marrying a transgender wife was about making money too?

How do you earn?

Send her to a Texas park to let those rednecks spit on her, ten Dollars a spit?”

“Mr.

Gru, with Jax gone, it’s just the two of us here.

You can talk freely, no need to pretend to be an idiot with me.”

Exposed!

You say you want to make money, so what’s with marrying a transgender wife?

“Chan, you spoke about the importance of the transformation window.

I appreciate and respect that a lot.

You are an extremely wise person.”

“So, I ask you, Mr.

Wise Man, do you think this country has a future?”

“Both parties are full of bastards, Parliament too.

I’ve grown this gang so large, only Niu Sen controls me, and that’s after letting go because of Temir’s introduction.”
