Chapter 515: Chapter 424: Ascend to Power (Subscription Requested!)_1
This young man was naturally the soldier who had initially ’set fire’ and burned the archive room.
Under the meticulous planning of the command room, this soldier was invincible in solving cases. He led the charge on the frontline, and after several ’emergencies averted’, he slowly gained promotion. Of course, money played a role, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible.
However, this ’pie falling from the sky’ incident wasn’t planned by the command room and could only be considered a pleasant surprise.
Assuming this cleanup operation is successful.
This soldier would then become the highest-ranking soldier here.
Originally, hundreds of soldiers and analysts were dispatched.
Most are still at the bottom, after all, other positions do not produce the tangible results that solving cases do. The glory and achievements that come with solving cases are evident. Many other positions require gradual promotion, but Tang Qing wasn’t in a hurry knowing it would happen eventually.
On the other hand.
The two big shots in Bangkok also knew the content of this meeting.
Both wore an expression as if they couldn’t be bothered.
Inside a luxury box in a nightclub.
Several people were puffing away.
"Big brother, the newcomer is ruthless. He disrupted several of our transactions and caused us heavy losses. This time, something big is brewing and it’s not likely to blow over like last time," one of his subordinates worriedly said. They had tried to retaliate, but the other party was very cautious, living a life as if not seeking any leisure or enjoyment, making it difficult to find an opportunity to strike.
"Hmph, this is a lawful society, they can’t bother me without evidence. Let them pull back like last time and avoid any conflicts. We’ll see what they do," the head leader sneered.
"Understood."
The subordinate accepted the order and left.
Whenever they thought about the lost areas, their hearts were heavy. They were always at a disadvantage during the conflicts and suffered significant losses. But now they also felt joy thinking about how those business deals were under their control, and the money was rolling in.
The other party did not engage in illegal activities and that’s fine. They monopolized half of Bangkok’s market and the profits made were pure joy.
He realized that those people were not living a miserable life even after giving up many businesses.
On the contrary, the feedback was that they were living quite well. All their subordinates had regular jobs and felt less humiliated now that they were part of a formal company. Not only were they being paid, but they also had all types of insurance covered. This gave a strong sense of belonging to the subordinates on that side.
With this.
The leader of this group could only complain incessantly.
Legitimate business?
Huff, it hardly earns any money, and it’s lucky if it merely supports daily life.
He then began his day of lavish indulgence.
...
Just as he thought.
The areas run by the soldiers had been securely consolidated through integration and change.
Thinking about it, while illegal business makes money fast, it’s nerve-wracking and offers no guarantees. Most of the profits go to the top, and the small fry live their days fearing their next day might be their last.
Those willing to do bad things have all run off. The ones left are all honest people. A lot of them were forced into this path. For those without an education, work opportunities are scarce. Thailand is not known for processing industries; there’s not much labor-intensive work. The pillar industries are agriculture and tourism, with everything else being in a pathetic state.
As the capital of Thailand.
There are more and more outsiders.
There are not enough job opportunities.
To make ends meet, many people turned to crime.
Now in the soldiers’ territory, industrial reform has begun. Many profits are handed over to the employees by letting two people do the work that one person used to do. Although it’s somewhat bloated, if it eliminates the factor of instability, it’s good.
Anyway, Tang Qing had no expectations of making money from these. As of now, it’s far from making a loss. Even if it’s doubled in bloat, it can’t eat up much profit.
Although it’s compulsory labor, many people feel it’s not bad. They just go to work and get off work every day, without having to fight, or live in constant fear of going to prison.
In the evening.
The clean-up operation began.
Even the chief of the Bangkok City Police Bureau didn’t know that the two ’sheep-like’ ’friendly’ forces had reached an agreement with Kun Thai. He thought Kun Thai was simply dissatisfied with the results of the previous clean-up.
So, he went to sleep peacefully that night.
Of course.
At this time, many people were still awake.
Among them was Kun Thai, and a middle-aged man beside him.
"They’ll take action soon. You know what to do next, right?" Kun Thai casually instructed the man. This was his distant relative who used to make a living from prostitution. Once there’s disarray in leadership on the other side plus the collaboration from the opposite side, the man’s accession to power was almost a sure thing.
"Yes, I understand. But this time, we are letting them take that money. It seems a bit too much, doesn’t it?". The middle-aged man was uncomfortable. Even though it’s not his territory yet, watching a large chunk of the big cake being cut was not easy.
"Idiot, is there only money in your head? Do you understand what a transaction is? Do you understand what sacrifice means? From now on, follow their methods. Even if you can’t replicate them fully, don’t meddle with things you shouldn’t be involved in," Kun Thai glared at him and said.
If not for this man’s honesty and timidness, he wouldn’t have appointed such a person.
"I...I understand." The middle-aged man, who feared Kun Thai, obediently agreed.
Soon after, he left.
Kun Thai waited by himself in the study room for news.
Unexpectedly.
Three hours later.
Just three hours.
Over a hundred people from two factions were arrested, their crimes well-documented, their loot and their persons apprehended, along with the previous evidence, they, and their leaders were taken down, no one could escape.
That night.
Police sirens echoed through Bangkok for most of the night.
And there were gunshots.
Of course, people got arrested, a lot of them. However, the first batch was not the Bangkok police, it was the soldiers who came to seize the assets. Even the most excellent firearms were immediately crushed. People obediently took the bullets and lay on the ground, waiting to be arrested by the arriving Bangkok police.
The reason for the arrests was simple.
Were those guns around you toys?
The uninformed thought something serious had happened. However, those in the know knew it was time to shut up, shut up right away, and not say anything rash to avoid causing trouble.
At two in the morning.
Kun Thai, who had learned the news, was finally able to sleep peacefully.
Everything was moving in the right direction.
At this point, the detention center of the Bangkok Police Station was crowded, and the leaders of the station were woken up one by one by phone. When they heard this shocking news, they were all a little stunned.
Senku was too, he was originally ready to watch the drama, but unexpectedly the action team established in the afternoon started operating in the evening. Moreover, they had captured so many people, practically netting all their key figures.
This was a huge deal.
That was everyone’s feeling.
People rushed to the station.
"Good job. I didn’t expect you to catch these people so quickly. But if the evidence is insufficient, it could be troublesome. They have to be released tomorrow, and you might face a lawsuit and accusations." Senku sneered, if arrests were useful, he would have made them himself. There’s no way he would have let this newbie do it.
This is a rule of law society, which values facts. Without concrete evidence, everything is negligible.
You might even make a big mess.
"We have criminal evidence against all of them. None of them can get out. More than half of them will have to stay in prison for at least thirty years," the soldier said calmly.
"What? Evidence? You have evidence? Where did it come from?" Senku screamed.
The soldier didn’t answer, because the director arrived.
What followed was naturally a meeting.
Reporting.
After hearing the soldier’s narration, everyone fell silent. It wasn’t just them; the two ’friendly’ forces also took action and provided lots of evidence. Basically, all those arrested couldn’t escape.
But.
This was too much of a coincidence.
Was it really for their interests?
Or was this a carefully planned setup?
Thinking about it, Kun Thai’s figure appeared in everyone’s minds. It wasn’t that they were smart, but today’s events were initiated by Kun Thai. If he were to claim ignorance, no one would believe him.
They knew that Kun Thai held a deep grudge.
It was likely that this operation was a trade, and the bargaining chip was these hundreds of people.
Thinking about this.
Everyone looked in surprise at the young man. He had simply hit the jackpot. If this was a setup, then regardless of who took the lead in this operation, they could pick up such a huge merit.
At this moment, Senku’s eyes were full of jealousy. This great accomplishment should have been his, but it was snatched by a youngster. He really wanted to fish it back. However, it was too late. The soldier, as the operation commander, had already reported up. Everyone knew that Senku ’deserted on the eve of the battle’. Now, complaining about it was simply seeking death.
He really wanted to say that the soldier and those two ’friendly’ forces might have a relationship, ready to throw mud, to avoid being truly replaced. However, knowing that this was a setup, possibly one by Kun Thai, doing so would be a complete secession. If Kun Thai didn’t punish him then, it would be strange.
Damn it.
What the heck was happening?
He had destroyed a winning situation.
Damn.
"All right, I’ll make a detailed report to Mayor Kun Thai about the incident later." The director said.
It’s also good to have our own people in power.
Soon.
Receiving the report from his subordinates, Kun Thai was also satisfied and nodded. He, of course, knew what had happened.
"All right, I know. That young man is good. Let him replace Senku’s position. As for Senku, since he doesn’t have much ability, you decide what to do with him." Kun Thai didn’t make it absolutely clear.
"Yes, I understand." The director replied with a bitter smile, so he had to offend people himself.
But it was Senku who brought this upon himself. It was his own fault, and he could not blame anyone else.
The next morning.
That soldier took over as deputy director of the Bangkok City Police Bureau.
Senku was demoted and took over as deputy director of a branch office.
