Chapter 31: The Background of the Four Gates (2/2)

The instructor continued, “South Gate has control over the seaside and riverside restaurants and the seafood industry in Shangcheng. You know the ten-kilometer long area on both sides of the Pujiang Riverthat contains the most high-end food streets in Shangcheng, right? Those are all businesses under South Gate. Last and the least, North Gate is doing the worst, having not accomplished much other than continuing to do what they used to do, which is just operating nightclubs.”

“So, North Gate is also the poorest among them all. However, since they are short on money, they care less about their image and are usually the most annoying. They can’t feed themselves, so many of their members often come out to take some private work. Since you entangled yourself with people from North Gate, we became worried, and that’s why we assigned you to the west side for patrolling.”

Xu Cheng nodded, now having a general understanding of the four gates. Just those industries mentioned by the instructor alone were not simple to deal with. If the government really decided to crack down on them, the impact really would be too great. Besides, these four gates already underwent a perfect transition, so they wouldn’t leave behind evidence of any unlawful practices that could pose a threat to the higher ups in their organization. They would usually throw little shrimps for the police to catch and do some work on the surface.

“I see, I will follow the bureau’s arrangement,” Xu Cheng said.

The instructor patted him on the shoulder and couldn’t help but throw in a few compliments, “I respect a fellow like you; an officer shouldn’t be scared of getting into trouble. To be honest, the officers that made it this far are all old fritters, and you are the first one that actually dared to stand up and play those young masters like this. Our brothers and I were all feeling pretty awesome watching how you taught them a lesson. This time, our higher ups actually stood on our bureau’s side as well! Also, to let you in on a secret, this time the city bureau complimented our director for everything that happened, but the people and achievements were brought in by you, so the director is very grateful to you and also sees the potential in you. Do a good job, don’t let us down!”

Xu Cheng actually didn’t really care too much about that. He just nodded, “Of course. And if there’s nothing else, I will go on patrol now.”

The instructor nodded. “Then I’m off work too now. You should be careful at night. Give me a call if something comes up; your other colleagues will also pay attention and look after you.”

Xu Cheng went out with his colleagues to their motorcycles, but he had to go back in to grab his helmet. When his colleagues all left and he was about to too, Young Master Yun and his fellows blocked the way with two cars.

Young Master Yun rolled down the window and said coldly to Xu Cheng, “I will make you regret becoming a patrol officer.”

Xu Cheng wasn’t bothered at all as he replied, “Not a problem, I will teach you how to be a better person. If one year doesn’t work, then you can stay in prison for three years. If three years doesn’t work, then 10 years. As long as you want, I can accompany you.”

Young Master Yun rolled up the window and left.

Xu Cheng’s colleagues drove back and saw the scene, so they came over, a little bit concerned. “You wanna drive a car to patrol?Motorcycles aren’t safe.”

“We are on the nation’s land, how can it be unsafe? This isn’t like the old times anymore.” Xu Cheng shook his head and said indifferently, “I will just deal with whatever comes my way.”

Then, he ignited the engine and rode off.

In the sports car not far away, Young Master Yun was burning with rage as he watched Xu Cheng drive off.

“He went to West Gate’s territory to patrol so it’s out of North Gate’s control. Now, even though they took the money, they can’t do anything about him anymore. Brother Yun, what should we do?” A young master on the passenger seat said.

Young Master Yun replied, “We will get the Four Young Masters of Shangcheng to deal with him. We will see if he has the balls to offend the big four young masters as well.”
