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

As night falls, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

It casts a cool light, covering the earth like a silver gauze.

A slight chill came quietly with the night wind, and the wind seemed to carry the message that winter was coming, making people shiver.

It was already late at night, and the city was immersed in silence.

The streets were deserted, with only the occasional cries of night cats breaking the silence of the night sky.

However, in this silence, a figure was moving quickly through the streets and alleys like a ghost.

This figure was Cao Xing. He was as fast as the wind and lightning.

Every step taken is like an arrow shot from a bow, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

These afterimages appeared blurry under the moonlight, as if they would disappear without a trace if a gust of wind blew past.

If an ordinary person happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, he would probably think that he was dazzled or had hallucinations, because such an astonishing speed is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Cao Xing explored many places in one night, including the homes of the team leader or deputy team leader.

Without any difficulty, he obtained information about corruption involving three team leaders and ten deputy team leaders.

It has to be said that when a group of ordinary people are asked to lead the raiding of rich people's homes, few of them can remain true to themselves.

Any one of the valuable items they seized would be worth several months' salary if sold on the black market, so this in itself is a loophole.

Although the central group was established not long ago, there are quite a few things in the homes of these group leaders and deputy group leaders.

Many of them are antiques, and there are also a lot of gold bars.

It can be seen that corruption has become a trend in the central group and just an unspoken rule.

At the same time, Cao Xing also understood why Mr. Liu had to take action himself. Perhaps it was not because the people in the central group had offended the higher-ups, but because the higher-ups had more or less known about the corruption in the central group and therefore decided to clean it up.

After all, when facing the problem of corruption, striking hard is the most effective.

If even law enforcement officials are in cahoots with the corrupt, what is the difference from the current situation in Hong Kong?

The consequences could be serious.

It was because Mr. Liu and his colleagues saw this that they allowed Cao Xing to intervene.

The people in the central group have colluded with each other, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out anything.

Even if we can find evidence of their corruption, it will take a long time.

Cao Xing is extremely capable. He personally takes action and is able to find evidence of these people's crimes in a short period of time.

This was indeed the case. It only took Cao Xing a few hours to find evidence of the crimes committed by those in power.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.

There is more than just corruption among these people.

They have used their power to undermine many units and factories, and various committees have sprung up everywhere.

Cao Xing found a pile of letters in the secret room of one of the team leaders' rooms.

These letters contain letters of allegiance written by the chairmen of various committees.

When Cao Xing saw these things, he was really shocked.

He originally thought that the people in the central group were just corrupt at best.

But now the original leaders of various units have been sidelined, including some key government departments and factories.

The words in those letters of loyalty were extremely flattering, almost as if these team leaders were living parents.

Cao Xing took out a small notebook and wrote down the details of each team leader and deputy team leader, preparing to hand it over to Mr. Liu in person.

On Taiping Road, Cao Xing came to the house where Xiang Ji was.

The house where Xiang Ji lived was a two-story Western-style building, which was usually allocated to high-ranking officials.

When Cao Xing arrived here, he found that Xiang Ji's house was brightly lit, obviously Xiang Ji had not gone to bed yet.

With spiritual perception, the situation in the room can be seen at a glance.

There were three people sitting in the living room of the two-story western-style building. One of them was Xiang Ji, and Cao Xing also knew the other two through the photos in the information.

They were the other two deputy group leaders of the central group. Like Xiang Ji, they were about the same age as him, both middle-aged men in their forties.

One is called Wei Zheng and the other is called Tao Guoli.

According to the information, Xiang Ji has the best relationship with these two people. This is not only because they are of similar age, but more importantly, they were all transferred from the Supervision Office. The only difference is that Xiang Ji is the director of the Supervision Office of Sijiu City, while Wei Zheng and Tao Guoli are from other provinces.

Xiang Ji's face was grim at this moment, as if someone had killed his parents.

"You two, do you have any good ideas?"

Xiang Ji had just told the story about Cao Xing. As the saying goes, one person's wisdom is limited, but two people's wisdom is long. He simply called his two allies over to think of a solution together.

The two of them seemed to be listening to something incomprehensible and were unable to react for a moment.

"Is Cao Xing really that powerful?"

"You mean no one in the public security system was willing to arrest him, and you went there with the security department and got chased back instead?"

Wei Zheng and Tao Guoli looked incredulous.

In their original concept, no one can escape once they target them.

After all, how can an individual go against the state apparatus?

However, the appearance of Cao Xing broke their concept.

Not only did they beat up the people from their central group, but what was even more outrageous was that they dismissed the head of the security department in front of Xiang Ji. This was simply unbelievable, and it made the two of them doubt whether they were still in the country.

Xiang Ji said helplessly: "This Cao Xing is indeed quite capable. Today, the Ministry of Public Security issued Wang Ergou's information file and actually turned him into a fugitive."

Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Is there any law here? They framed us so blatantly, they simply don't take us seriously."

Xiang Ji's eyes were full of hatred. "The key is that a large number of people went to report and expose Wang Ergou today. I have investigated and found that the crimes reported by the Ministry of Public Security are all true."

Tao Guoli asked: "What does this mean?"

Wei Zheng frowned and looked very serious.

"This shows that Cao Xing's intelligence system is very strong, or he was well prepared."

"So how do we deal with him?"

Among these three people, Xiang Ji hated evil the most, although he did not realize that he was gradually becoming the evil person he hated the most.

Tao Guoli is impulsive and irritable, while Wei Zheng is unusually calm.

So after hesitating for a moment, Wei Zheng spoke first.

"Faced with such people, we only have two options."

"Which two roads?"

"First, we should not clash with such people again. According to what you said, Cao Xing is only defending and never fighting back. This means that if we make a big fuss, it will be bad for both of us. He is also afraid of it. Reconciliation between the two sides is the best situation at the moment."

"impossible!"

Xiang Ji objected immediately upon hearing this.

Tao Guoli also snorted coldly.

"Humph! If we compromise with such people, where is our dignity? Who will be afraid of us in the future!"
