Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

The Shanghai docks looked particularly dilapidated under the cover of night. The cold wind whistled past, making the tattered flags flutter.

In this desolate place, an equally dilapidated ship was quietly docked on the shore.

Bang Geng stepped onto the broken boat with excitement on his face. There were already dozens of children of different ages on board.

Some of them looked nervous, while others were very excited.

But compared to other children, Bangteng is obviously more mature.

However, even so, he seemed to have been completely brainwashed by the old man named Gao Ya on the shore, and looked at the old man devoutly.

As the boat slowly started moving away from the shore, Bang Geng couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Grandpa Gao Ya, thank you for your dedication to us and for helping us move towards the harbor of happiness!"

The voice echoed in the night sky, filled with gratitude.

Gao Ya, standing on the shore, had a kind smile on his face. That smile seemed to radiate endless love and warmth, which made people feel good about him.

He waved kindly towards Bang Geng, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

But when the broken ship gradually went away and finally disappeared into the night, Gao Ya instantly put away his smile.

At this moment, his expression was no longer as peaceful as before, but instead was gloomy, as depressing and terrifying as the sky before a storm.

The speed and magnitude of his face-changing abilities are much better than those of professional actors.

Next to Gao Ya, there was an old butler following closely.

The old butler was tall, with a typical Western face and a hint of shrewdness in his deep eyes.

He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Master, it's getting late. We should leave now."

After saying that, he followed Gao Ya carefully.

Gao Ya asked in a cold voice: "Which batch is this?"

The old butler thought for a moment and replied, "This is already the tenth batch in recent years."

Gao Ya thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "I hope the church won't ask me to do this again. China has a zero-tolerance attitude in this regard."

He knew very well what was waiting for these children when they were sent there.

He found it horrifying just to think about an experiment that didn't treat these children as human beings at all.

The cold wind was howling, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night.

In the Forty-Nine Cities.

Cao Xing felt heavy-hearted as he looked at the information coming from the Shanghai Stock Exchange investigation.

There was only one page of paper, which gave a brief description of the Gao family members and their work.

Nothing else.

This kind of report was obviously not what Cao Xing wanted to see.

The Gao family has deep roots in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and it seems that they have people in the Public Security Bureau as well.

Even Wang Jianjun was furious after seeing the report.

boom!

He slammed the table hard, venting his dissatisfaction.

"What on earth is Qian Haijiang doing? How dare this loser send me such a report?!"

No wonder Wang Jianjun was angry, Qian Haijiang was promoted by him.

He has been stationed in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for many years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his confidant.

Then he gave him a direct order.

However, Qian Haijiang obviously did not carry out his orders and sent the report back perfunctorily, which obviously touched Wang Jianjun's bottom line.

Cao Xing laughed and said, "Uncle, it would be better if you didn't issue this order. I guess people in Shanghai are already prepared."

The anger on Wang Jianjun's face had not subsided, and he called Ma Dajun with a gloomy face.

Ma Dajun now works in the Ministry of Public Security, which means he is at the center of power and is rising very quickly.

"You must immediately set up an investigation team and go to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to conduct an internal investigation. Arrest as many people as possible. In short, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau must undergo a major reshuffle."

Ma Dajun was stunned when he heard this. This was a major event.

Shanghai is not like other cities, but it is a municipality directly under the central government. The police chiefs there are at least department-level cadres. He is only at the division level, so how can he investigate them?

"Minister, am I the top leader of the investigation team?"

"Nonsense, if it's not you, why would I ask you to organize it?"

"Yes! I will definitely not let the minister down."

Ma Dajun understood that Wang Jianjun wanted to show Qian Haijiang a warning!

In this case, why does he care about his rank? He will just do it with bare chest. Anyway, he has Wang Jianjun to back him up, so he is not afraid of anyone.

Just as Ma Dajun was about to go out, he was stopped by Cao Xing.

"Brother Ma, don't leave in such a hurry."

Ma Dajun and Cao Xing were extremely familiar with each other.

But because Wang Jianjun was here, he didn't dare to be too casual.

"Brother Cao, you say."

Cao Xing said seriously: "I mainly want to investigate the Gao family in Shanghai. If you go to Shanghai, this matter will still be handed over to you. I don't trust others."

Ma Dajun nodded when he heard this. He knew that investigating the Gao family was the fuse of this incident, so he was also very concerned about this matter.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Ma, some things may be difficult to accomplish with superficial strength alone. I will let my apprentice go with you, and I believe he can help you."

Naturally, he wanted Zhong Yuemin and Liao Wu to go.

As Ning Wei's brother, Zhong Yuemin had to avenge Ning Wei, if nothing else. Therefore, even if Cao Xing didn't ask him to go, he had to investigate it himself.

As the leader of the Hongmen in Sijiu City, Liao Wu is well-known throughout the country.

People like Wang Sihai from Shanghai's Sihai Gang are also easy to talk to.

Sometimes these gangsters know more than the official forces.

Half a day later, Cao Xing arranged for several people to meet.

Cao Xing pointed at Ma Dajun and said, "This is my brother Ma. He works in the Ministry of Public Security and is currently the leader of the Shanghai Investigation Team. On the surface, he is investigating the situation in the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, but in reality, your target is the Gao family. You two must cooperate with Brother Ma."

Liao Wu and Zhong Yuemin both looked excited.

Seeing Ma Dajun is like seeing his real father.

There's no way, they are living in purgatory these days.

Every morning when practicing with Cao Xing, both of them were almost beaten to death.

It was called sparring, but how could the two of them see Cao Xing's speed clearly? He was just like a sandbag!

Even if it's only for an hour a day, they spend the rest of the time in bed in excruciating pain.

The pain cannot be expressed in words.

The two of them had been struggling for a few days, and now they were going to Shanghai to carry out their mission. They were finally freed, so they were so happy that it felt like a dream.

"Master, don't worry. We will cooperate with whatever Team Leader Ma says."

Liao Wu and Ma Dajun are also very familiar with each other.

They knew each other when Ma Dajun was the director of the Hongxing Police Station.

Zhong Yuemin also quickly expressed his opinion: "I will definitely cooperate with Team Leader Ma and complete this mission successfully."

Cao Xing said faintly: "Why do I feel like both of you want to leave me sooner? Is there something I did wrong as your master?"

The two men responded in unison, shaking their heads and saying, "Master is kind and considerate to us. We feel empty inside when we think about leaving him."
