“Hahaha, I didn’t anticipate all of this, Sheriff Gru.

I’m not God; sending you to snatch Lao Jia was simply to make the situation more controllable.

But given the dynamics within the LAPD, I did have certain expectations, to be honest.”

At New Era headquarters, Gru, Cheng Daqi, and Lisa were discussing how to respond to Lake’s sudden attack.

Cheng Daqi was remarkably candid, but Gru didn’t believe a single word.

“Chan, from my perspective, Gasetti’s goal might be to eliminate your influence, as well as the California Clique’s in the LAPD, thereby reducing your political strength in San Rodolfo.

If Lake’s people dared to interfere with Jax’s orders, it shows they’ve received promises or support from Gasetti.

With the prolonged and visible tensions between the California Clique and the Great Commander, the local Donkey Party forces in San Rodolfo might have motives far deeper than you anticipated.”

How can someone’s level of understanding improve rapidly?

Sheriff Gru serves as a textbook example—as an outsider from humble origins, he, influenced by Cheng Daqi, Temir, Niusen, and others, gradually immersed himself in the political intrigues of America’s Deep State.

In this process, he transitioned from being a sacrificial pawn to a systematized member of a particular political faction within America.

His outlook and understanding underwent a seismic shift.

Just looking at this speech alone, Cheng Daqi clearly knew Gru’s objective required support, but because Gru’s analysis was so grounded in realism, Cheng nonetheless felt compelled to assist him.

This is miles ahead of staging crimes or killing superiors—on a level so high it’s limitless.

Gru’s approach is incremental.

Level one: If something happens to me, it will hurt your strength.

As allies benefiting from complementary synergies, you must help me—you can’t just leave me for dead.

Level two: Niusen and the California Clique aren’t that formidable.

Gasetti targeting key figures in the BEC case might carry intent to pressure Niusen and the California Clique.

Level three: The California Clique and the Great Commander’s tensions are escalating and becoming long-term, while the Great Commander’s election outlook seems quite favorable.

In this political landscape, the California Clique may not actually be a towering tree!

“Gasetti might not necessarily be opposing the California Clique.

Have you ever considered the possibility that behind Lake, it’s not only Gasetti but also Niusen?”

The New Era general manager offered her perspective.

Cheng chuckled and nodded.

Lisa’s thought process was more realistic than Gru’s.

Gasetti and Niusen are key figures of differing factions within the same party in California.

They may engage in infighting, but ultimately, they belong to the same party.

When Cheng repeatedly leveraged the BEC card to choke Niusen, Niusen initially approached Gru clandestinely, seeking compromise and negotiation.

So in the event Gru refused to help Niusen, Niusen turning to Gasetti for strategic advantage became a viable option.

However…

In truth, regardless of the real scenario, a reconciliation between Cheng and Niusen was already deadlocked.

No matter how formidable Niusen is, he still has to recover the trapped money.

Why did Cheng deliberately delay the investigation into BEC while inflating its notoriety?

Just look at what’s unfolded.

Now New Era’s nonprofit status application has been approved, and its private prison project has brought in resources from the California Clique.

In this context, if Gasetti really harbors the deeper plans Gru mentioned, this could further transform into a nexus of interests between Cheng and Niusen.

As for whether Cheng playing this game would result in reprisal from Niusen…

Of course not; this only shows Gru and Lisa don’t fully grasp the fundamental existence of their factions.

Through consolidating the California Elephant Party, Cheng secured a significant slice of California’s political pie, establishing his faction within the Elephant Party and gaining entry into America’s Deep State apparatus.

The Dracula Family didn’t truly lose everything back then, and Cheng Daqi is no different now.

If he loses, it’s merely sacrificing some interests of the Underground Forces, Lao Jia’s interests, and the money in BEC—which won’t be affected.

This is precisely why Gru has consistently taken issue with Cheng’s handling of the Lao Jia and BEC investigations.

Even if Cheng Daqi loses, the songs will still play, the dances will still perform, and the dollars won’t decrease by much.

And what about me—Gru?

Which is to say, Sheriff Gru’s level of understanding has truly reached incredible heights.

With this in mind, Cheng Daqi spoke up to remind everyone.

“Niusen certainly might have colluded with Gasetti, and Gasetti might aspire to climb the ranks, encroach on the California Clique’s niche.

But you don’t have to worry.

Niusen and Gasetti belong to the same party.

We and the Great Commander belong to the same party.

It’s just that I haven’t figured out how to wager my bets to maximize returns, so I’ve been avoiding dealing with the Great Commander’s people.”

As soon as Cheng finished speaking, the men fell silent while the women mutely followed suit.

What does being bold mean?

This is what being bold is!

Pretending to act cool?

Getting slapped in the face?

None of that—what Cheng exudes is nothing but true authority.

Lisa, for a brief moment, thought Cheng was joking, but she quickly snapped back to reality—every single word Cheng said was accurate.

The opposing sides of the BEC investigation: one is the Great Commander, the other is the California Clique and Niusen, with Cheng positioned in the middle and pulling strings behind the scenes.

And Cheng is not alone; his enterprises include MCN, cryptocurrency platforms, specific cryptocurrency projects, and a smuggling operation targeting an annual turnover of one hundred thousand.

These ventures allow him to spend tens of millions of dollars annually to wield influence.

Among his partners are leaders of the California MAGA Party, leaders of the new generation within the California Elephant Party, and tycoons like Crusoe and Wolf.

Not to mention the strength within New Era—Cheng and Mi’er are immensely tight-knit allies in terms of interests, and they’ve already lined up several potential candidates to back as Great Commander hopefuls…
