Chapter 514: Chapter 423 Bangkok’s Security Rectification (Subscribe!)_2 "You’re getting involved? Why?" Kun Thai frowned. The last security clean-up operation was successful, but it didn’t solve the core issue. He had been thinking about this for a while, but without getting rid of the two tumors, everything was just for show and everything would stay the same. "It’s simple; we don’t like them. Plus, they’ve provoked us multiple times behind the scenes. With this operation, we want to defeat them once and for all," the Fighter explained. "You want to be the only player in town?" Kun Thai questioned. "No, we’re not interested in those two places. We just want their money this time. As for their industries, let’s leave that to the new bosses," the Fighter said casually. Kun Thai knit his eyebrows again: "New boss? Who?" "Whoever, just wondering if Mayor Kun Thai has anyone in mind. We can arrange it," the Fighter said nonchalantly. Kun Thai was taken aback. He then broke into hearty laughter: "Good, very good, I got it. I will give the order immediately." Kun Thai immediately understood. This was an exchange of interests. And the stakes were the industries of those two places, and the potential imprisonment of the two bosses. Kun Thai was satisfied with this result. Money didn’t interest him; his family wasn’t short on it. But he was very interested in power, and he liked the terms proposed by Fighter. It was a mutually beneficial deal, and the Fighter displayed a good sense of restraint; they didn’t take too much, nor aimed to monopolize it all. A perfect deal. "Mayor Kun Thai, happy cooperation, it’s best to take action tonight." The Fighter reached out. "Alright, happy cooperation, let’s keep it going. I hope for a secure Bangkok," Kun Thai extended his hand for a handshake. "As you wish," the Fighter replied. Then, the Fighter turned and walked away. Watching the Fighter’s retreating back, Kun Thai sank into deep thought. This deal was already settled, and the fate of the criminals had been set in motion. The only question was how much he could benefit from it. Thinking about the benefits... He again thought about the problem of the ’successors’ of these two places. But, within moments, he had nominees in mind. Who to use? None would be safer than using his own relatives. There’s no time to lose. Kun Thai hastily dialed the number for the Bangkok Police Station. ... Bangkok City Police Station. Early in the morning, the Chief gathered all the deputy chiefs for a meeting. To convey Kun Thai’s thoughts. "Everyone, Mayor Kun Thai has just called. He’s very dissatisfied with the security in some parts of Bangkok. He wants us to carry out a thorough cleanup today. Deputy Chief Senku, your jurisdiction is mainly the areas the mayor is referring to. Your area has become a cancerous tumor in Bangkok. Most of the recent crimes in Bangkok have been happening in your areas. This has led to many businesses and shops filing complaints. Mayor Kun Thai is extremely displeased with you. You must prioritize crime eradication and illegal contraband removal, or you should just resign. Understand?" the Chief said, staring at Deputy Chief Senku. Senku grimaced and said: "Chief, I can’t do anything about it. These heads are not like those from the West and South districts who follow rules. There, they forbid illegal transactions and violent fights over territories, maintaining harmony and pushing troublemakers to our side. All the illicit trade has come to my side. I’m quite desperate. Even if you kill me, I can’t clean up these two places." "Despair, my foot! Now, tourists are avoiding your areas and the economy is falling every day. Mayor Kun Thai is furious. There are no conditions in this matter—if you don’t want to handle it, I’ll replace you for this position," the Chief said coldly, not believing for a second that Senku wasn’t involved with those two bosses somehow. "I...Chief, you should find someone else to do this job," said Senku, not caring about the Chief’s threats. He was afraid of death, especially for a thankless task like this. If he succeeded, which was impossible, he’d have to contend with violent criminals who knew where his family lived. If he failed, his police career would be over. It would be better to pass on this task to someone else, even if it meant a demotion. "You...you’re driving me crazy. Any of you willing to take over there?" The chief turned to the other deputy chiefs. Everyone else lowered their heads. They all fell silent. Senku actually looked at the chief smugly—this was what he called ’public opinion’. Mad, now that place has simply become the source of crime in Bangkok, no one wants to touch that bad luck. Better to remain silent. "You, all of you, fine, do you have any suitable people to recommend?" The Director was helpless. Someone has to do it, but he didn’t dare take on this operation himself. They fell silent again. One of the deputy directors suddenly spoke: "Director, there is one person, the one who cracked the North District’s large illicit goods case. He had offended them last time and has been cracking big cases consecutively since, bearing enmity like a righteous avenger. Why not let him do it?" "His rank isn’t high enough, is it?" The director recalled this ’legendary figure’. He hadn’t been with the Bangkok police for long before he cracked several major cases consecutively, and got promoted several times. His personal ability and professionalism were impeccable, completely crushing those who challenged him. "Director, we can promote him temporarily. If he does well, he can be promoted to deputy director. If he doesn’t, he stays put." The deputy director suggested casually. It seemed that a greenhorn was most appropriate for this situation. "Uh... That might work, but what happens if he succeeds? That would effectively be a double promotion, wouldn’t it?" The director hesitated. This move seemed unorthodox, no, it was clearly highly unorthodox! "Director, we have to act according to the situation. As long as Mayor Kun Thai is satisfied, this would be a great achievement. A double promotion isn’t unprecedented. Remember the legendary god of the Bangkok police force who is now the director of domestic public safety in Thailand? Didn’t he get promoted three times in a row?" Hearing this, The other deputy directors nodded in agreement. Their immediate superior, the legend, hadn’t seen such a drastic promotion since then — that was the result of powerful family maneuvering. Two levels. Just right. Not too hard. "Alright, we’ll see. If he does well, Mayor Kun Thai does indeed have the authority to promote him to Deputy Director." The director nodded, if he truly pulled it off, it would be a great achievement. A Two-level promotion wasn’t impossible given the influence of the Kun Thai family. "Wise decision, director." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to toss this hot potato away. The chance of this task getting accomplished would be a miracle. They knew all too well the might of those two bosses. Half an hour later. A young man in his twenties was called into the director’s office. "Good day, director." The young man saluted. Standing tall, his face resolute, the director looked at his reliable subordinate with satisfaction. The young man in front of him had sided with him since cracking his first major case, he was one of his own people. Even if this operation didn’t succeed, he could later escape some of the responsibility on the grounds of being young and promote him one level. He didn’t believe it would succeed anyway. This mission was merely to pull out a scapegoat, but it had to be persuasive. Otherwise, pulling out just anyone wouldn’t explain it well to Kun Thai. "Okay, this time there’s a tough task for you. That is, the operation to clean up Bangkok’s public security. You know, since many people were forced to the East and North Districts, the security situation there has become severe. Last time’s cleanup yielded results that are fading. Mayor Kun Thai is very angry, so he plans to have a thorough cleanup this time, mainly against those who deal in illicit goods and other illegal businesses. We must see results this time." the director said. "Yes, I guarantee the completion of the mission, Director. I have a suggestion." "Speak." "The environment there has also become a chaotic mess, so, I suggest conducting a thorough clean-up there." "Is that necessary?" "Yes, it is tourist season now, and this harms our image." "Good, I agree. You will temporarily lead the operation." "Yes." An hour later. The Public Security Cleanup Team was formed. PS: First Chapter, ask for votes! Don’t care about the details.
