Chapter 251: Chapter 240: How do you need me to cooperate?
The crisp police uniform accentuated Wu Shuang’s perfect curves, enhancing her poised and heroic aura. Leading over a dozen special police officers, she got out of the car and waited at the intersection for Xiao Lin’s arrival.
Wu Shuang was secretly surprised. Xiao Lin deployed such a large array, with about ten military vehicles, while she only brought four police cars. Although these police cars could hold about twenty people, it was obvious that Xiao Lin was capturing more than just twenty people; otherwise, he wouldn’t need so many military vehicles.
It was precisely because Wu Shuang recognized the markings on these military vehicles and understood who the soldiers represented that she realized they weren’t here just to capture a few people for appearances. Moreover, Xiao Lin wasn’t that kind of person. Based on recent events, Xiao Lin never did things superficially. Therefore, Wu Shuang worried that she didn’t have enough vehicles.
However, when Wu Shuang saw the military vehicles stop and successive soldiers, along with some middle-aged men—some potbellied, others looking vicious—exit the largest vehicle, she recognized them. These were the notorious bigwigs of the Poison Dragon Gang. Counting carefully, there were thirteen of them. In the middle, four soldiers carried a stretcher covered with a curtain.
Xiao Lin escorted Liang Feng and three other women out of Guo Liang’s military vehicle. Joining the soldiers gathered around the central vehicle, Xiao Lin and the five women moved to the front to rendezvous with Wu Shuang.
"Alright, take them into custody first and bring them back to the special police base!" Xiao Lin spoke directly, not waiting for Wu Shuang to say anything.
Wu Shuang glared fiercely at Xiao Lin. This guy continued to shock her with his increasingly awe-inspiring actions. She had no idea what kind of identity this man had. Even if he was a member of Dragon Soul, he couldn’t possibly have such authority to take down the entire Poison Dragon Gang. Yet here were these dozen individuals, each a bigwig whose stomping foot would shake Yanjing City thrice.
"Captain Li, take them!" Without further ado, Wu Shuang instructed a special police officer beside her. This time, Wu Shuang only brought twelve special police officers. The rest were still busy at the police station. These were all the manpower Wu Shuang could muster.
There were about fifty or sixty people present. Besides the exchange between Xiao Lin and Wu Shuang, no one else spoke. The handover proceeded quietly and orderly; everyone followed the commands of Xiao Lin and Wu Shuang, whether they were from the Sharp Sword Special Forces or the special police officers that Wu Shuang brought.
The handover procedures were simple, completed in just two or three minutes. Turning back, Xiao Lin smiled at Guo Liang and said, "I’ll come to find you for a drink in a few days!" As for gratitude words, Xiao Lin didn’t bother saying them. Such matters couldn’t express his gratitude to Guo Liang with mere thanks.
"Alright, I’ll be waiting!" Guo Liang nodded, saluted Xiao Lin, turned around, and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Return to base!"
As the Sharp Sword Special Forces departed, Wu Shuang finally spoke to Xiao Lin with a chilly expression after the Poison Dragon Gang’s upper echelons were confined in police cars, "Xiao Lin, can I speak now?"
Xiao Lin, unusually sheepish but unfazed by Wu Shuang’s attitude, replied, "Let’s talk in the car. Wawa, Jia Qi, and Lu Dan, you three get in Captain Wu’s car!"
"Got it!" The three women responded and headed towards Wu Shuang’s car.
"Let’s go, let’s talk in the car," Xiao Lin said to Wu Shuang, Liang Feng, and Lin Liwen.
There was a purpose to Xiao Lin’s actions. For Fei Feng Gang to rise and replace the Poison Dragon Gang, money alone wasn’t enough. Tonight’s captured bigwigs, at least half, had been law-abiding for many years but still held significant influence within the Poison Dragon Gang. For Fei Feng Gang to develop quickly, leveraging these people was indispensable.
To leverage them, Wu Shuang’s cooperation was necessary.
He sent Wawa and the others away, partly because there wasn’t enough space in the car, and his discussions with Wu Shuang required both Liang Feng and Lin Liwen present: one was the leader of Fei Feng Gang, the other, its military advisor.
Just as they got in the car, Wu Shuang’s phone rang. Seeing it was Lin Zhifang calling, she dared not delay and said to Xiao Lin, "I need to take this call!" Xiao Lin nodded in acknowledgment, and Wu Shuang stepped out of the car.
"I wasn’t worried about Fei Feng Gang’s future before, but now I feel a heavier responsibility," said Military Advisor Lin Liwen suddenly after Wu Shuang exited the car.
"Why aren’t you worried now?" Liang Feng found Lin Liwen’s words somewhat perplexing. In the underworld, interaction with the police was inevitable. But now that Xiao Lin had clearly introduced them to the special police, it should be good news for Fei Feng Gang, not a cause for concern.
Xiao Lin glanced at Lin Liwen. It seemed this woman was no simple character—her comprehensive thinking had not led her to complacency in the face of current favorable conditions. Instead, she remained vigilant in adversity. This showed that Lin Liwen possessed an insight uncommon in the underworld. She might even navigate the political arena effortlessly.
"It seems a shame for you not to join Dragon Soul. I support your path; otherwise, I wouldn’t go to such lengths to help you!" Xiao Lin spoke honestly. If it were only because Liang Feng was Hu Zi’s sister, Xiao Lin wouldn’t have helped her so much. He valued more the Fei Feng Gang team and what it had achieved since its inception. Many tasks couldn’t be official, and a controlled criminal organization was preferable to an uncontrolled one.
Lin Liwen’s ability to infer all this just from his introduction to Wu Shuang revealed her high IQ and EQ—traits reminiscent of a Dragon Soul military advisor. She could deduce much from the smallest of happenings. If she joined Dragon Soul, with guidance from a military advisor, Lin Liwen might achieve even greater things.
Fei Feng Gang, with Liang Feng, who possessed strong principles to hold the general direction, and the military advisor to execute, was poised for future development, likely not just limited to Yanjing City.
Just as Liang Feng was about to ask something else, Wu Shuang returned from her call. With a somewhat peculiar expression, she got in the car. Settling down, she turned to Xiao Lin and asked, "Tell me, how do you need me to cooperate?"
Hearing Wu Shuang’s words, Xiao Lin blushed slightly, thankful that it was night and the car’s lights were off, so no one saw. Yet he stubbornly retorted, "This isn’t cooperation, it’s me supporting your work!"
