Chapter 277: Transfer Order [666+14]

The ringing of the telephone made the Professor (the Wolf Gang's number two person) come back to his senses from his thoughts. He watched the phone on the table ring a few times before answering. "Hello?"

"Professor?"

The voice was very familiar, a bit young, and a face as young as the voice flashed before him. His voice became softer. "It's me. Do you have any instructions?"

He respected this person very much. He wasn't an idiot like Wolf or other characters in the gang; he had his own views and insights.

Some people are very stupid; they feel they can challenge the whole world just after gaining a little power, arrogantly not taking anything seriously.

Even if they are as powerful as the Five Great Families of New Jincheng, aren't they still subject to the state government and the assembly?

In this world, there is only one place that can truly be said to stand at the top!

But this place wouldn't leave a position for someone like him.

So he had always kept his posture very low. He knew he didn't have the qualifications to be arrogant.

"He approves of your progress, but you can be a little faster. The faster your speed, the less pressure we have."

"The less pressure we have, the more benefits you can get; this is a positive cycle."

"If you delay opening up the situation, our pressure will be very high, and your days will be worse. Can you understand what I mean?"

The Professor nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I know, I understand, sir."

"But... the police don't stand on our side. If we rashly take big actions, it's very likely we will be blocked by them."

"You know, once the police's actions are carried out publicly, even if we have the ability to fight back, we can only choose to disperse first."

The person on the receiver listened seriously and laughed after a while. "Communicating with you is just simpler than communicating with others, Professor."

"You don't need to worry about this aspect now. Pay attention to the news broadcast at noon."

"Then think about what you should do."

The call ended there, leaving some "puzzles." The Professor put the receiver back, picked up a pen, and wrote and drew on the paper without any destination.

This was a way of thinking for him. When he needed to think, he would use this way to straighten out his thoughts.

Maybe he didn't even know what words he was going to write or what things he was going to draw on the paper; everything was written smoothly and beautifully as if it were natural.

At 12:30 noon, the New Jincheng News Radio Station started its news broadcast, which was also the program many people liked most during their lunch break.

After listening to several meaningless news items in a row, finally, a piece of news that the Professor found unbelievable came out—

"After the resignation of New Jincheng City Police Department's Chali, no new police chief has taken office. Considering that the current public security rate has not met the requirements of the City Hall, the Mayor specially appointed Port Branch Chief Lukaer to temporarily lead the acting chief position until a more suitable candidate appears."

"The Port Branch Chief position will be assumed by the original assistant chief, and other personnel positions will remain unchanged..."

After a brief moment of distraction, the Professor stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the door of Wolf's office, and pushed the door open directly.

Wolf might have a disease, or rather, some rumors about him made him fall into his own "persona."

Yes, all the rumors were written by the Professor. Things like winning a one-on-one fight against a wolf, raising two wolves, etc. —all stories with legendary colors were written by the Professor himself, and he helped promote them.

An ordinary gang without any special background actually didn't have much of a way out in the environment of "industrial gangs" like Fides.

He had to have something attractive to make people remember him and join him.

Although wolves are animals that farmers find very troublesome, they can attract some young people, which is also one of the reasons why the Wolf Gang grew.

Wolf enjoyed this persona very much; he felt as if he had really killed a wolf with his bare hands and was a real wolf king.

The Professor stood by and waited for a few minutes. Wolf finally got released, put on his clothes, and sat back in his chair.

"We are all men."

The Professor rolled his eyes. "Lukaer has become the acting chief."

Wolf didn't react. "So he was demoted?"

"This idiot, I knew he wasn't the material for this!"

The Professor shook his head. "It's the acting chief of the City Police Department, appointed by the Mayor, just announced."

Wolf's mouth slowly opened wide. "This is impossible, how could he..."

He quickly calmed down. "So, he's on our side now?"

The Professor nodded. "A gentleman just called and hoped our actions could be bigger."

"This is a very unexpected measure. The police force is not monolithic. If Lukaer can be bought, it means other police can also be bought."

"I might not be very accurate in using the word 'bought'; to be precise, it's that they can find the direction of justice."

"So we have more room for maneuver. My idea is to let them contain Bill and the others tomorrow, and then we will directly take their nest."

"As long as their headquarters is taken down, the Red Dog Gang will have no foundation in the Port District, and we can calmly clean up their remaining forces."

"When we occupy enough territory, whether it's expanding outward or cleaning up those small gangs, it's all very simple."

The Professor's face shone with a light. Although the Hazardous Materials Administration has great power and they don't need to go through the local judicial system to get search warrants or even arrest warrants.

But they also have great drawbacks; they can't intervene in pure criminal acts.

Now it's different; Lukaer stands on their side, even if he's just an acting chief.

This means that the powerful department that has the right to interfere with all crimes also has their people, providing the most basic guarantee for some of their actions!

This is a breakthrough. They don't need to worry about large numbers of police surrounding them when they do something. Now the police will also stand on their side.

Wolf was very excited after hearing this. "Your idea is very good. We can mobilize manpower now; I'm already a bit impatient!"

It wasn't just them who heard this news; many people heard this news. Lanse felt it was unbelievable when he heard it.

A greedy vulture suddenly turned into an acting police chief?

You know, before a real chief appears, the acting chief is the police chief in the actual sense.

And the only person who can decide the candidate for police chief is the Mayor.

Under the federal system of mayoral government, even if the wealthy in the Bay District are extremely dissatisfied with this, they can convince those in the state government, but ultimately it still depends on the Mayor's nod.

So... this acting chief is very subtle. It won't make people feel the Mayor is messing around, because it's just an "acting" chief.

But it can achieve the effect he wants.

And doing so will make some marginalized police join the embrace of the Mayor and Lukaer.

There are always some police who don't fit in, or who are excluded. In the past, they could only endure these treatments, but now, they have a new choice.

This is a very disgusting move, and it also represents the continuous escalation of opposition and conflict.

"He is looking for opportunities to gain an advantage bit by bit.", Lanse discussed these changes. "Now it's the police, what's the next part?"

"Fire?"

"Or something else?"

"If the people of the Five Great Families aren't stupid enough to be blinded by a comfortable life, they should move."

Erwin was a bit worried. The position of City Police Chief is too important; they can almost directly intervene in the police affairs of various districts, which makes people feel very headache!

"What should we do?"

Lanse twisted the matchbox in his hand, thinking about how to respond. Clearly, from before, the Mayor was obviously at a disadvantage everywhere, but he could turn the situation around step by step.

On the contrary, those local forces that appeared to crush the Mayor's group at the beginning started to weaken.

Ultimately, the "ruling power" is still in the hands of the Mayor. Even if he falls into a disadvantage for a while, as long as the state government supports him, he can always stand up.

This is also the disadvantage of non-governmental organizations; in the competition of high-level forces, they are not on the same level at all.

The only one who can clash with the Mayor is probably the Keda family.

But he is not irreplaceable. The casino business doesn't make money because they have some secret recipe to make money 100%, just because of those few licenses!

It's not a good thing that the Mayor is getting stronger and stronger. Lanse pondered for a while and waved his hand. Erwin immediately leaned over, and the two whispered for a while. Erwin showed a look of shock.

However, looking at Lanse's affirmative gaze, he finally nodded. "I'll do it myself!"

Lanse hugged him. "Be safe!"
