Seeing that An Xin had taken it all in, Li Xiang took a breath before saying, "I was furious to see Zhao Yu and his gang of bastards getting away with it, and I wanted to arrest them immediately. But what good would that do? They have powerful connections. With just a word, even the murderer turned himself in, leaving you with no evidence! Heh, so if we want them to be punished by law, we need to stand on a certain level of authority!"
"I'm a police officer too, and I have ideals too. Anxin, you're not fighting alone!"
Li Xiang's voice was low and somber, and by the end, his eyes were filled with tears.
An Xin looked up at Li Xiang, a wave of guilt washing over her: "Xiang, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you that way these past few days, and I shouldn't have said those hurtful things..."
"Hehe, it's all in the past. You can continue your investigation, I support you, but the premise is that we must first learn to protect ourselves, understand?" Li Xiang patted An Xin on the shoulder.
...
Meanwhile, in a high-end club in Jinghai.
"Brother Fox, as compensation, the Grand Palace will be yours from now on."
On the sofa, Zhao Yu, with his feet on the coffee table, raised his glass and said to his group of key subordinates, "In short, from now on, whatever I, Zhao Yu, have, you will have too. I will never forget Brother Fox! Also, tonight's entire bill is on me. Everyone, have a great time!"
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
"Young Master Zhao is majestic and domineering!"
"Thank you, Young Master Zhao!"
Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire private room became lively.
Everyone was happy, but Fox Bro sat in the corner, smoking silently.
Although Li Chao's knife wasn't fatal, it chopped off the part of him that made him most confident as a man. Simply put, Brother Fox can no longer be a man.
As the saying goes, "Wealth and honor cannot corrupt one," so what wealth and honor do I have left?
At this moment, Brother Fox felt extremely frustrated.
Although Zhao Yu still valued him, he couldn't hold his head up high. After drinking two glasses of wine, he went to a quiet corner.
Everyone knows that although Zhao Yu gave the Grand Palace to Brother Fox, from now on Brother Fox will definitely have no face to continue being the boss.
Below, a group of people were waiting to be linked together, all flattering Zhao Yu.
The Grand Palace was plagued by a series of incidents, but after two people were found to take the blame, the cases were dealt with leniently. Although the bribery involved in the bidding process was exposed, it did not affect Zhao Yu at all.
This further demonstrates that the Zhao family can control everything in Jinghai.
No matter how big a mistake someone has made, their father can handle it.
This made Zhao Yu even more popular.
The two newly emerging individuals, one named Pork Rong and the other Flower Boy Qiang, were both quite well-known in the Jinghai area.
Pork Wing was originally a butcher by family tradition. After private butchering was banned, he opened a roast meat shop. He had excellent skills and also married a beautiful wife.
However, the social order was too chaotic, and business people were often extorted and forced to pay protection money, while even more people were freeloading.
Once, a gangster took a fancy to Pork Rong's wife. In front of Pork Rong, he pinned his wife down on the table and defiled her, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
Provoked, Pork Wing grabbed a butcher's knife and killed the gang leader, along with seven or eight of his underlings, thus becoming famous overnight.
After he was released, Pork Rong stopped running his roast meat shop and gathered a group of henchmen around him, collecting protection money from several streets.
But compared to Young Master Zhao, this little bit of strength is nothing.
The other Hua Zaiqiang didn't have any particularly notable achievements. He was in the prostitution business, running several hair salons and massage parlors. At his peak, he had hundreds of prostitutes under his control.
Some say that Hua Zaiqiang specifically recruited a group of people to act as human traffickers, recruiting workers in some remote areas and then deceiving naive girls into selling their bodies.
These are the people who are most looked down upon, yet they earn the most money.
Pork Rong and Flower Boy Qiang both have some influence and fame, but no powerful backers, so when Zhao Yu put on a show today, their first choice was to come and seek refuge with him.
"Young Master Zhao, the coastal highway project is canceled. What industry should we go into next? Damn it, these cops have nothing better to do than raid my place every few days. They've fined me tens of thousands of dollars!" After drinking for a while, Hua Zaiqiang took the opportunity to complain.
Although pimping is profitable, it is also very risky, as they often encounter raids on prostitution rings. Hua Ziqiang's hatred for An Xin and the other police officers is no less than Zhao Yu's.
He was eager to transform his business, and with Zhao Yu as his powerful backer, he could easily make money by engaging in other industries.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but lose his temper, cursing, "Damn it, that bastard An Xin is like a leech, causing me huge losses and getting a scolding from my dad. My dad told me to keep a low profile for now and wait until things calm down. Damn it, when that happens, I'll make sure An Xin, Tang Ping, and all those other guys die!!"
Hua Zaiqiang nodded in deep agreement, saying, "Yeah, these dogs are really annoying. Even if you don't go to prostitutes, you shouldn't arrest them. There are so many migrant workers in Jinghai. If they don't go to prostitutes to relieve their frustrations, won't there be trouble sooner or later?"
Zhao Yu ignored him completely and continued cursing, "And that old bastard Uncle Tai, damn it, I'll give him face and call him Uncle Tai, but if I don't, I'll make sure he's buried anytime soon. He even recorded my CD, there's a traitor inside! Hua Zaiqiang, you're a smart man, don't worry about other things, take some time to help find this mole."
"Young Master Zhao, I will do as you command!"
Hua Zaiqiang nodded repeatedly, feeling honored to be at Young Master Zhao's beck and call.
Zhao Yu was satisfied with Hua Zaiqiang's attitude, nodded, and asked, "Hua Zaiqiang, I heard you have hundreds of girls working for you? Hehe, I'm tired of the average ones, do you have anything new?"
"Young Master Zhao, is this a big deal? I'll arrange it for you tonight. I guarantee it'll come out as soon as you pinch it, and it'll draw blood with one shot. How about it?"
At this moment, everyone in the private room was having a blast. Some of the girls that Hua Ziqiang brought had started doing pole dancing on the coffee table.
But one of the beauties, wearing black stockings and a black uniform skirt, had long, slender legs; even her back view was captivating.
The key point is that while the other girls were dancing and showing off their figures, she was like a pure white lotus rising from the mud, holding a microphone and singing.
Her voice wasn't yet melodious, but her profile was incredibly beautiful and captivating.
Zhao Yu was instantly smitten. He narrowed his eyes, put his arm around Hua Zaiqiang's neck, and asked, "Hehe, you really understand me. Hey, is that girl one of yours?"
Hua Zaiqiang looked up, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young Master Zhao, that one, I think her name is Yi Nuo, she's Brother Fox's girlfriend."
"Oh, what a pity."
Zhao Yu was slightly disappointed, but he didn't say anything and continued drinking.
Midway through, Hua Zai forcibly dragged Pork Wing to the outside restroom.
"Isn't it inside? Why come out?"
Pork Rong complained unhappily.
Hua Ziqiang leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
