692: Chapter 2: Amidst Chaos, Chief Gru Finds True Intentions 692: Chapter 2: Amidst Chaos, Chief Gru Finds True Intentions In the dark Buick, Mr.
Glu of the LAPD had no mood for playing with his phone.
He stared intently at the rearview mirror on the front row, his face somber.
The rearview mirror always showed a glaring car following him; it was Forbes keeping tabs on him.
He was confident he wouldn’t be purged by Forbes, after all, he had Dollars, which was the source of his confidence.
But the feeling of being constantly choked was too terrible, far too terrible.
It was like a blade that could stab him at any time.
Glu wasn’t afraid of being stabbed, but he feared that dragging it out would lead to complications.
Yes, he was a leader of both legal and illegal circles, but his men weren’t brainless idiots.
The recent trials facing the LAPD were indeed too numerous, so much so that he began to worry about disloyalty among his subordinates.
No, he wasn’t overly worried about this issue, because it was inevitable that some would harbor dissent, and probably not just a few.
One or even ten didn’t matter—the betrayal of these minor characters could at most land him in jail, but he still wouldn’t die.
But Glu feared being strung along, slowly drained of his power until he was forced into a dead end.
Glu and Jax had often contemplated how to break the deadlock; the simplest method would be to resort to the California Clique, especially since Glu and Niu Sen were on the same team.
However, upon examining their options, they realized that they couldn’t intimidate the Clique.
Before Achilles made a move on the core interests of the California Clique, he had spent many days in Washington, rallying a bunch of people, with the Great Commander shielding him from the front.
What did Glu have?
Guns, but the California Clique had guns too, and a single assassin could kill Glu.
If it really came to a showdown, the California Clique had far more room to maneuver than Glu and his people—political clout, media support, judicial bias, any of which was far stronger than Glu.
He was afraid.
The difference between the extraordinary and the ordinary lies not in the ninety-nine percent of life, but in that one percent at critical moments.
This was the unique advantage that CEO Cheng had all along his journey.
Cheng Daqi had a tough and unyielding heart, which allowed CEO Cheng to be one step ahead in decision after decision.
Glu didn’t have this; his heart wasn’t strong enough, perhaps because he had it too easy all along.
Threatening Niu Sen, Glu didn’t dare; dealing with Achilles, Glu also didn’t dare.
Thus, facing the ambiguous invitation to meet from Niu Sen, Chief Glu had no choice but to attend, bringing with him an attitude that was obedient, pleasant, humble, and loyal.
“Ha, Glu, long time no see.
You’re still, um, looking good.”
In the sitting room at Niu Sen’s house, Glu met the Democratic Party’s would-be emperor, future leader, current Governor of California, and core member of the California Clique.
It’s just that, Niu Sen’s words didn’t sound quite right.
Chief Glu, as if he hadn’t noticed, focused on the wine being prepared by the servant.
Once the servant left, he said in a low voice,
“Mr.
Niu Sen, I’ve run into some trouble recently.”
The Governor’s face suddenly froze, a bad premonition dawning on him—Glu was clinging to him!
The California Clique had already made a strategic decision: they must crush Glu, this unique little toy.
Nanxi and the California Clique’s seniors had reached unanimous agreement on this matter.
Having already decided to sell out Glu, and with Achilles targeting him, it was best to go with the flow.
First, let Achilles take out Glu, then intervene in the judiciary and control the fallout.
But Glu was not a puppet without free will; he would not comply with the Clique’s intentions.
“Forbes’ matter, right?”
“Yes, that Steven harbors ill intentions, he…”
Niu Sen cut off Glu’s drone, his tone serious as he spoke,
“Glu, you’re one of us now, you know.
We of the California Clique will not fail to support you, no matter what Steven or Hutter plan to do, or have done, we will take control of the situation.”
This assurance, these empty words, Niu Sen said them too sweetly.
He meant, the reasons don’t matter, what matters is that we will definitely help you.
How much truth and lies were in Niu Sen’s words, he himself couldn’t clearly say, but he believed his last remark “we will take control of the situation” was sincere—just that the method of control might not be to Glu’s satisfaction.
Glu felt a chill inside.
Although Achilles had already arrogantly laid his cards on the table, Niu Sen was still acting with him, and putting on quite a convincing show.
So, between Achilles and Niu Sen, whose words were true?
Watching Glu’s silence, Niu Sen did not continue his stance.
He picked up a wine glass and started drinking water tactically.
At this moment, Glu zoned out because he thought of CEO Cheng.
He thought of how CEO Cheng had pushed him aside, he thought of CEO Cheng’s cryptocurrency business with Wolf and Geweil—he was also a major shareholder behind the scenes, and he thought of Mi’er being Achilles’ sister.
A cold shiver ran up Glu’s spine, through his nerves, and into his consciousness.
At that moment, he seemed to see through the situation.
Achilles didn’t care what happened to him.
Niu Sen’s betrayal had also sold out Mi’er.
He had planned to push CEO Cheng aside, but instead, CEO Cheng had turned on him first.
Cheng Daqi had offered a refund to kick him out!
Linking these events together, Glu saw more of the mysteries submerged beneath the surface.
He remembered the assurance Niu Sen had given him once before.
Entangled with many details and interests, Glu couldn’t see clearly, but he began to doubt.
Glu suspected, in California, at this moment or some moment before today, he had become everyone’s jointly designated sacrificial pawn!
