The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

"Damn it, hurry up!" Ma Xidao urged impatiently.

When Ding Xin walked out of the interrogation room, he found that Wu Taizhi was already waiting at the door. When he saw Ding Xin come out, his expression finally softened.

Wu Taizhi bowed his head respectfully and said, "Big Brother."

Ding Xin smiled and nodded, giving him a reassuring look.

"Come with me!"

Ma Xidao glanced at the two men, then turned and left on his own.

Outside the police station.

"You guys got lucky this time. Kid, you better behave yourself from now on!"

After saying that, Ma Xidao took out his key and roughly unlocked the handcuffs on the two men.

Ding Xin smiled, flexed his wrists slightly, and said to Wu Taizhi, "Go contact Jin Mingzhe and have him drive over to pick us up."

Wu Taizhi nodded, walked to the side, and took out his phone.

Turning his gaze back to Ma Xidao, Ding Xin took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Detective Ma, putting aside your prejudices, I haven't caused you any major trouble this time, have I?"

Ma Xidao looked conflicted.

Indeed, apart from making the scene a bit too heated, Ding Xin didn't do anything out of line this time.

Moreover, in a sense, he also owes Ding Xin this favor.

If it weren't for Ding Xin, they wouldn't have been able to capture Zhang Qian and his gang so easily.

Just a few days ago, they encountered Zhang Qian and his two companions at a small restaurant in Jialifeng Hutong and immediately carried out the arrest operation.

What's infuriating is that none of the three were caught, and the youngest member of their own team was injured and hospitalized as a result.

Afterwards, he was so terrified that he switched to an office job.

Moreover, Zhang Qian and his gang caused too much trouble.

The higher-ups had already given a strict order to arrest them immediately, but as time went by, they couldn't even find them, let alone arrest them.

The poor bureau chief is summoned to meetings every few days, and he gets scolded every time. The Jinchuan Police Station is losing face.

When the boss gets scolded, the rest of the staff in the department naturally don't fare well either, their faces constantly covered in the boss's spittle.

I've recently heard that all case materials related to the Black Dragon Faction are to be transferred to the Wide Area Team for handling.

If that were to happen, it wouldn't just be a loss of face for us, or even for the entire Jinchuan Police Station; it would be utterly shameful!

So, this time, thanks to the momentum of this kid, we managed to wipe them all out in one fell swoop and finally get our revenge.

Thinking of this, Ma Xidao's tone became unusually gentle, and he said earnestly, "You're still young, you don't necessarily have to go down a dead-end path."

Now that you've gained some fame, nobody in this area will probably bother you anymore. You should probably do something legitimate and stop hanging around gangs.

Wow, such complete logic! Is this really the Ma Sidao I know?

Ding Xin's expression showed slight surprise.

"Hey, Ah Yixi, what's with that expression?" Ma Xidao said, annoyed.

It was unusual for him to try to persuade the young man in front of him; you see, if it were any other gangster, he would have resorted to violence.

"Aigu, Detective Ma really is a good person."

Ding Xin smiled and teased, then exhaled a smoke ring with a contented look before turning serious and saying, "I'm not joking when I say police-community cooperation."

Dealing with that bastard Zhang Qian is just the first step. Don't you think the tiny Gari Peak Cave simply can't accommodate so many gangs?

"Damn it, you better behave yourself, don't think you can always be this lucky!"

Ma Xidao frowned, and his voice unconsciously rose a few octaves.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard him say this; Ding Xin had said the same thing during their last private conversation.

At the time, the two had reached a temporary consensus because of Zhang Qian's matter, but who knew that this guy would be so ruthless.

Was it all done by that bastard Du Chengyu?

Ma Sik-tao just doesn't like to use his brain, but he's not brainless!

He subtly took two steps back, dodging the spittle flying towards him.

Ding Xin shrugged and said, "The more gangs there are, the more chaotic Gari Peak Cave will become. If Gari Peak Cave is chaotic, the entire Nine Elders District will not be peaceful."

I know you. I've seen you mediate the conflict between An Chengtai and Zhang Yishuai more than once before.

I understand your thinking; you simply want to nip all conflicts in the bud and prevent the situation from escalating.

"But is it useful? The contradiction remains, and no amount of suppression will make it disappear!"

Having said that, Ding Xin changed the subject, his expression solemn, and said, word by word:

"Do you think that the people in the Gari Peak Cave are a mixed bag, with many different factions, and that it's already quite good that they've managed to maintain a superficial balance?"

Ma Sik-tao nodded subconsciously.

"Do you again think that the Gari Peak Cave is so chaotic that it's like a lawless zone, and there's no way to completely manage it?"

Ma Xidao was shocked. What was wrong with the kid in front of him?

Does he have mind-reading abilities?

"Then what do you think we should do?"

At this moment, Ma Xidao's tone was like a question, or perhaps a murmur to himself.

Ding Xin understood his expression, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "I'll help you."

...

Ma Xidao watched the black sedan slowly disappear into the distance with a complicated expression.

It gradually disappeared from his sight.

Ding Xin's words, however, kept echoing in his ears.

It kept replaying in his mind.

Many people make a living in the Garibong Cave.

The number of migrant workers alone exceeds 70,000.

Only when the Gari Peak Cave becomes stable will the people living there gradually become wealthy.

Only when the people here become richer will we, the people who make a living in the Gari Peak Cave, also get better and better.

"We" includes you and me.

Zhang Qian's approach is utterly short-sighted and foolish.

What I want to do is turn the Gari Cave and the surrounding area into a golden goose!

...

Thinking of this, Ma Xidao couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a member of parliament from Karibong Cave, not some greenhorn gangster cub..."

His voice was so soft that even he could barely hear it.

At that moment, Ma Xidao had a feeling.

This is a newly emerged gangster cub.

Perhaps in the near future, he might really become a remarkable person...

Chapter 24: A Big Gain

In the car.

"I guarantee that even his own mother wouldn't recognize his face now."

"With his hands and feet crippled, he can't escape."

"I received word that the person is already on their way."

"Don't worry, it's definitely the death penalty."

“That son of a bitch Zhang Qian committed a serious crime back in his hometown. You know how powerful his hometown is, do you think they'll tolerate him?”

"Okay, that's settled then, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up his sister-in-law's call, Ding Xin let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to recall his conversation with Ma Xidao.

As expected, Do Seung-woo took full responsibility at the police station.

Surprisingly, he revealed a lot of other information in order to get a reduced sentence.

Ma Xidao also stated that, based on Du Chengyu's confession, they were to immediately arrest the remaining members of the Black Dragon faction who were still roaming outside.

Zhang Qian in the hospital also woke up.

Unfortunately, he's become a cripple and can no longer jump around.

News has also come from their hometown that the people coming to extradite them back are already on their way, and all that awaits them is the death penalty.
