Chapter 34 [Insidious Politician]

Facts have proved that there are still many smart people in this world. Moreover, the police, like Norton, who only knows how to make tricks and scare people, is only a part of them, and Doug in front of him is obviously a difficult and smart opponent.

Fortunately, although he revealed some of my secrets in one sentence, from his attitude, he did not seem to be very hostile to me.

After applauding, we both looked at each other silently, looking at me, and I looked at you, as if a leopard on land and a seal were looking at each other.

After a long time, and at the same time, we all smiled.

"Tell me about your purpose." I looked at him: "Today you invited me to your office and told me all this. Do you want to get something from me?"

Doug's eyes were very vivid. He smiled and showed his very white teeth: "Mr. Chen Yang, you are from China. Your country has a famous saying that if you want to take it first, you must give it first! I know that if I need your help, I must first give it some conditions to express my sincerity, right?"

I shrugged.

To be honest, although he is very smart and can guess my intentions, I am not afraid of him. Moreover, if he is smart, he would not attack me now, let alone make plans or want to do bad things to me.

"I know, although there is a lot of trouble outside now, those guys are pitiful idiots." Doug said slowly: "From a private perspective, I think the more people like this die, the more beneficial it is to purify the world."

"What about me? Will trading with a gangster like me violate your principles?" I smiled.

Doug shook his head and curled his lips: "No. Of course not." He looked very honest: "You, me, and this Miss Yang Wei, all understand very well. Even if the police in this world are dedicated and strict, the crime will never disappear. Even if our police constantly fight against gangsters and crack down on gangsters for twenty-four hours a day, the underworld will continue to exist. There is no absolute in the world. The world is not absolutely clean, nor is there absolute darkness. There is always shadows under the light. As for the underworld, I would rather use the word "control" instead of the word "strike".

I didn't say anything, looked at him.

"For a long time, the police have great manpower and material resources to invest in anti-gangsterism." Doug smiled as if he was self-deprecating: "I have been in this industry for more than ten years. I think I am very dedicated. Many of the partners I have worked with are also very dedicated. But over the past decade, the world has been progressing, and society has been progressing... the underworld is also progressing. I have never heard of the news that the underworld will disappear from this world one day.

Therefore, if you want to completely eradicate the underworld, I am afraid that God can't do it. And I, Doug, are just a devoted believer of God, and I naturally cannot do it. So I think that only by controlling and guiding and controlling the harm nature of the underworld to society within a certain range of limits will this goal be more realistic."

He pointed at me and said, "For example, even if you are gone, there will be another leader soon after the big circle. If the newly selected leader is a fool, leading everyone to the street with guns, we may be busy tomorrow! At least now, no matter what your purpose is, you have finally ordered your subordinates to stay at home. I would like to express my gratitude to you for the thousands of policemen patrolling outside now."

"So what are you talking about sincerity? How do you plan to express your sincerity?" Yang Wei spoke, as if she had a smile on her lips, looking at Doug: "As you said that, are you planning to live in harmony with the gang?" She had a needle in her eyes: "I have never heard of cats and mice living in harmony."

"You are right." Doug smiled: "I think the best policy for the police to treat underworld organizations should be to thoroughly learn from the US government, with carrots and sticks. It is time to comfort the children, but if the children are disobedient, they still have to fight. But you must also distinguish when to fight and when not to fight."

"What about?" Yang Wei seemed very interested in Doug.

"For example..." Doug narrowed his eyes and sighed slowly: "It's a pity. I'm too late to come to Vancouver. If I had arrived two days ago, maybe the situation wouldn't have been so bad."

He curled his lips and continued, "I said, Norton is old, and now he is thinking about how to retire safely, decently, and smoothly, or if everything goes well, he can get a medal before leaving. So, at the beginning of this riot, he seemed too hesitant. If I had come a few days earlier, I would raise the stick high in front of the first gang that dared to cause trouble! Use the most severe and thunderous means to put out the danger! I have studied that at the beginning, many organizations were actually waiting and watching, but the police seemed cowardly, so they became arrogant. The police took a step back and they would go further. This situation is very bad. If at the beginning, don't estimate the face or the influence of public opinion, directly use thunder to arrest all the people who jumped the most and teach them a lesson. Perhaps the situation is very different from now."

"What about now?" Yang Wei picked up the coffee without hesitation.

"Now... it's no longer possible to rely on big sticks. You have to throw a little carrot appropriately." Doug smiled, but his eyes looked at me: "How many underworld organizations are there in Vancouver, how many people are there? How many policemen are there? Now everyone's emotions are picked up. If you just suppress them, you will end up bleeding. We cannot deal with the Chinese gang, big circle, Arabs, Iranians, Indians, Vietnamese... We don't have that much energy, nor so many police forces. So, I will choose one of them, chase it and beat it up, and hurt its vitality, no matter how it emerges! And the others, either win over, divide or deterrent, but cannot do it. The ridiculous and stupid Norton actually asked to mobilize the National Guard to quell the riots. In that case, I guess he will be driven off from his current seat next month!"

"But how do we believe you?" Yang Wei asked directly without waiting for me to speak. Her words were very sharp: "You are a temporary special officer... If you say one thing and do another... Humph, I know many such examples. Now that you are sent to deal with this matter, you may deliberately establish a tough image and directly use high-pressure means to make the situation worse! I know that you government officials, you can do everything for political achievements... You beat everything here to pieces, then you shook your hands and left, you have a brilliant achievement, and you go back to receive your medal. Anyway, there is a poor ghost Norton who is here to take the blame."

"I don't deny your words make sense." Doug smiled. His eyes were very sincere: "Indeed, many police people would do such things: before leaving office, in order to gain political achievements, they deliberately caused riots in the underworld, and then they attacked and slashed and killed them, and carried out several massive anti-gang campaigns. Let the media praise them... This is political achievements." Then he looked solemn and said seriously: "But I won't do this. I will express my sincerity!"

Yang Wei nodded and glanced at me. It meant that after she asked, she would leave it to me.

"What is your sincerity?"

"First of all, what do you need." Doug said slowly: "Vancouver is not a big city, a city with only two million people, but it has too many gangs from different regions... Hehe! I know that the root cause of this incident lies in the grudge between you and the Vietnamese. As for the other guys, they are just cannon fodders that you dragged into the water by you. Mr. Chen Yang, I can probably guess what you have done these days. I also understand what you mean... I think if nothing unexpected happens, you will be ready to attack the Vietnamese in the next time... Humph, while our police are in a hurry, you will fight again. At this time, there are all fighting outside, and no one will stare at you... right?"

I didn't admit it, but I didn't deny it either.

"What after all this?" He looked at me: "How to resolve this riot? Do you really have to wait until the official cannot bear it and mobilize the power to quell the riots. Then the entire Vancouver forces will be wiped out? Your circle will also lose the soil for survival!"

I looked at my watch and said lightly: "Mr. Doug, my time is precious. If you continue to circle with me, my patience may not be able to support it. So I suggest you might as well express your plans directly."

"Well, what I need is not short-term stability, what I need is a long-term stable Vancouver!" Doug smiled: "I can help you deal with Vietnamese, and I can even give you some information that the police have. Vietnamese are hiding now, but we still have some of their situation... but in exchange..."

"What do you want?" I stood up and looked at Doug.

"I'm very greedy." Doug smiled very cunningly: "I want a lot... First of all, what I want is to restore order in Vancouver's streets within three days! Secondly, I ask that the gangs in Vancouver must be under the police's surveillance in the future! Again... I ask that your circle of big circles can take over some things, but they must also be under the remote control of the police!"

After saying this, he slowly leaned on the chair, as if he was casually saying: "Mr. Norton is probably going to step down before he retires... Guess who will become the new police chief in Vancouver after that?"
