Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 129 It seems the beating was too lenient!
"Alright, it's not nice to kill them here." Cao Weida glanced indifferently at the two men on the ground, causing Zhou Si'er and Chen San'er to shudder involuntarily.

"Strip them of their black skin. Considering we were colleagues before, leave them with their underwear. Then drag them out and show them around our team before kicking them out!"

Little Ears obeyed Cao Weida's orders without question, immediately replying fiercely, "Yes, Brother Cao."

To avoid offending Cao Wei's eyes, Xiao Erduo dragged the two outside. They still wanted to resist, because if they were really stripped naked in public, they would be extremely embarrassed.

Unfortunately, their resistance was futile, earning them only a few punches in return. "I fucking hate people who don't follow the rules the most! You actually dare to resist? Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough!"

There was another crackling sound.

After the beating, the two men became completely obedient, daring not to resist at all as their clothes were stripped off.

Logically speaking, Cao Weida was just a patrol chief and had no right to dismiss people, but the order was carried out smoothly in the bureau. In less than five minutes, the two men's patrol officer status was completely removed.

At the police station entrance, the two men, stripped naked and covered in bruises, stared at the sky with utter despair. They were no longer concerned with the stares and whispers of passersby; compared to social death, they were now completely hopeless.

They thought that even if they made a mistake, Cao Wei Da would at most give them a severe scolding in front of the team, as usual, or at worst, remove them from the team.

But to their utter surprise, Cao Wei Da was either not going to do something at all, or he was going to do it so ruthlessly and completely, stripping them bare.
They've now completely become the two chickens used as a warning to others.
The two were once figures of some standing in their neighborhood, but in the blink of an eye, they became two worthless worms.
From now on, forget about 'filial piety'; even the stable patrol officer salary will be gone.
The fate of the two men truly shocked the remaining patrol officers, leaving them trembling with fear and no longer daring to harbor any ulterior motives.

Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Cao Wei Da was quite satisfied.
"Little Ear, send someone to keep an eye on Zhou Si'er and his companion. If they dare to have any ideas, take them into custody immediately!"

"Also, I'll write you a note to go to the armory and get some guns. Then wipe out the gang that's been working with those two bastards!"

"Damn it, this area is my territory now! How dare they act so arrogantly on my land, robbing and smashing shops that have paid 'tribute' to me? Who gave them the guts!"

He needs to establish his authority not only within the ranks but also outside.

He couldn't manage the street security issues before, but now that he's in charge, he absolutely won't allow anyone to be more arrogant or domineering than him to exist!
"Once you bring them back, carefully examine them. Lock them up and keep them under strict guard. They might be useful in the future!"

Little Ears knew perfectly well; he had done this for Cao Wei Da more than once, so he was naturally very clear about it.

After responding, he immediately took the note approved by Cao Wei Da and went to collect the gun.

The warehouse manager initially dismissed the note as being from a patrol captain, but upon seeing the name on it, he immediately fawned over Xiao Erduo and personally led her to collect the equipment.

These days, everyone in the police station with even a little bit of influence knows that Cao Weida and Director Xu are practically inseparable, and he's even on friendly terms with the police advisor, Ono Oda. How could they dare to offend that guy!

After receiving the weapons, Little Ears acted swiftly, immediately leading his men into action.

Before noon, Xiao Erduo returned to the police station to report to Cao Weida.

"Done?" Cao Weida tossed him a cigarette.

Little Ear grinned, "They're just a bunch of cowardly thugs. The moment they pulled out their guns, without even firing a warning shot, they all obediently squatted down with their hands on their heads."

"Two of them tried to resist, but their legs were broken and they were dragged back."

"If it hadn't taken some time to find people and confiscate their property, we would have been back long ago."

Cao Wei Da nodded in satisfaction, "Sixty percent of the confiscated money will be sent to my home, thirty percent of the remaining forty percent will be given to the person who went to carry out the mission, and the remaining one percent will be given to the others."

Little Ears beamed and quickly thanked him. The other brothers also smiled broadly, and their eyes were filled with heartfelt respect and admiration as they looked at Cao Weida.

Unlike other bosses who only make empty promises, Master Cao actually gives money!
Which underling wouldn't like a boss like that?
Cao Wei Da combined the remaining tribute from before with the 60% from this time, took out 20% of it and sent it to Xu Hancheng's office, giving Xu Hancheng some 'local specialties'.

Xu Hancheng initially declined, after all, he preferred to cultivate a good relationship with Cao Wei Da rather than accept money.

However, under Cao Weida's insistence, he could only reluctantly accept the "local specialties." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "No wonder Cao Weida was able to build connections with Ono Oda and his gang. He speaks well and gets things done. If he doesn't succeed, who will?"
After leaving Xu Hancheng's office, he took Wucheng and went to Ono Oda's office.

After learning the purpose of his visit, Ono Oda's eyes almost disappeared with laughter. He repeatedly said that he was indeed worthy of being Ono Oda's friend, and that he was truly loyal!
Deep down, he was indeed becoming more and more satisfied with Cao Wei.

Previously, Sang Liuji had only given the other party a tiny hint, and he immediately became incredibly arrogant, thinking that doing him a favor would make him all the more important. He was incredibly domineering and disdainful of everyone, yet all he offered was empty flattery. In contrast, look at Cao Weida's attitude. He was making money off Cao Weida, but Cao Weida remained humble. Even though he often said they were friends and there was no need to be so formal, Cao Weida always kept his position clear, never hogging any benefits, and never doing anything that would infringe on his rights.

Although he is now more assertive in front of outsiders than before, he always maintains a certain degree of restraint. Whenever he wants to do something, he always seeks his opinion before taking action.

Moreover, the actions always brought him some kind of benefit.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!
After leaving Ono Oda's office, Cao Weida greeted Xiao Erduo and then strolled towards Yandaixie Street.

I haven't spent two days with Du Shiniang, so I have to make it up to her tonight.

But just as the car turned a corner, it bumped into a group of thugs bullying a woman who looked sweet but was dressed simply.

Could Cao Wei tolerate such a thing?

He immediately went up and stopped them.

A few thugs, holding sticks, looked at Cao Weida with arrogance and laughed disdainfully, "So you're just a black dog? You dare to interfere in my business?"

"Get lost if you know what's good for you! Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

Hey!
Cao Wei Da was amused and annoyed. Being threatened like this on his own territory was something that happened last time.

He pulled out his Browning, cocked it, and said dismissively, "I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words."

A few thugs: "."

I glanced at it and realized something was off. What kind of good guy would just pull out a gun right away?

So arrogant! This is happening in broad daylight!

They froze, unsure of what to do.

The woman, her face streaked with tears, was being bullied in the corner. She tensed up for a moment, then immediately relaxed, shrinking back into the corner as if in fear. Her pitiful appearance evoked a feeling of pity in anyone who saw her.

Cao Wei Da's pupils contracted slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, as if he hadn't seen anything, and sneered, "Keep being arrogant, why aren't you being arrogant anymore?"

"You're a man, put the gun down, I..."

"Screw you, are you out of your mind, or do you think I'm out of my mind?" Cao Weida wasn't an idiot, the advantage was in my hands, why would I listen to them?

He pointed the gun at them and warned, "All of you, put your hands on your heads and squat down! Anyone who dares to move, I'll shoot them dead!"

The group of thugs looked at each other, then at the short sticks in their hands, and reluctantly threw them away, obediently squatting down.

"Everyone, squat against the wall!"

Helpless, the thugs moved to a different position, facing the wall.

They were furious! When had they ever been bullied like this by a little black dog?!
This is utterly disgraceful!!
They had already planned that as soon as Cao Wei Da got close, they would take the opportunity to turn the tables and teach this bastard a lesson!
But the next second, a rope was thrown over.
"Tie your hands together, you bastards! Anyone who disobeys will be shot right now!"

Oh no, this isn't following the expected pattern!

The thugs were furious, but dared not disobey, so they could only bind each other in frustration.

The woman in the corner: "."

This isn't right; it's so different from what we agreed on before.
What should I do now?
Should you stand up and run, or pretend to be so scared that your legs go weak?
Cao Wei Da observed all of this, secretly amused, and inwardly criticized: This woman, it's obvious she's doing this for the first time, she's not very skilled.
He glanced at the group of thugs, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

Hmph, do you really think I'm an idiot? Do you think I'll just walk over there and give you a chance to fight back?
I'm afraid that if I lose control, I might accidentally kill you all!

And also, could you please put a little more effort into your performance next time? Your portrayal of thugs was so amateurish. Couldn't you send in a few more professionals?

His mind raced, trying to figure out which side these people were on and what their motives were.
