Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2222 - 992: Don’t Point a Gun at My Classmate’s Head—I Don’t Like It!
The second floor of Kung Fu Fresh is filled with a bloody smell; besides the police and a headless corpse, a row of severed hands is arranged on a dining table.
Neat and tidy, there’s a bizarre yet horrific beauty to it.
"Qing Jie, I’ll have to handle the aftermath later and catch up with some friends; it’s not appropriate for you to stay here..."
Lin Baici’s subtext was simple: Let Qing Jie go home first.
"Mm!"
Qing Jie is a sensible woman, knowing she wouldn’t be of help by staying: "Be careful!"
Before Lin Baici could ask Gu Qingqiu to arrange two police officers to escort Qing Jie home, Gu Qingqiu had already given the order.
"A Dragon, A Tiger, send her home!"
Don’t be fooled by Gu Qingqiu’s youth; she has the full presence of an officer.
"How did you develop so quickly?"
Lin Baici was genuinely curious.
In his understanding, it’s extremely difficult for someone to make a name within the system; even if Gu Qingqiu became a gang leader, Lin Baici wouldn’t be surprised, but she was, in fact, an inspector.
"Boss, bring up a pot of tea!"
Gu Qingqiu first gave the command, then explained: "We all know that rule pollution doesn’t appear out of thin air; it’s radiated from reality, so there’s a trail to follow."
"For example, Busan Divine Ruins and Luoyang Seven Towns are filled with the local scenic features."
"And this Caged City is no exception!"
"As soon as I came in, I glanced at the street and knew it was Hong Kong Island in the 60s and 70s, and during that time, the key theme was ’chaos’."
"After all, I am a Hong Kong Islander, and without being modest, an upper-class figure, Gu Family’s daughter; do you think I wouldn’t know the secrets unknown to ordinary people in Hong Kong or the family histories of those major families?"
"As soon as I came in, I did some inquiries and found all those major families existed, not much different from reality."
"I must say, Harbor Island Ghost Ship truly deserves to be one of the ten Great Divine Ruins in Kyushu, its realism level is maxed out!"
"Then I found the Gu Family Patriarch and had a face-to-face talk, customizing a family development plan!"
Gu Qingqiu spoke eloquently: "I worried people might think I’m bluffing, so I had a backup plan; if the Gu Family didn’t agree, then I’d go to the Li Family, Zheng Family..."
"But it turned out the Gu Family Patriarch’s vision is exceptional even in rule pollution!"
"And then I became his adopted daughter!"
"With such a strong backing, entering the police station was as easy as pie, and my starting point was high."
Gu Qingqiu smiled slightly.
"Your intelligence is high too; after joining the police, solve a few cases, earn a few merits, and immediately get promoted!"
Lin Baici had already guessed it; he had no doubt about Gu Qingqiu’s abilities.
"Haha, I originally thought if there weren’t any major cases, I’d stage a few myself to quickly get my rank up, but I overestimated Hong Kong Island of this era, major cases and high-profile cases are almost piling up the archive room!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
After Gu Qingqiu saw the boss had brought up the tea, she waved him off and personally brewed tea for Lin Baici.
"Connections, merits, and money paving the way, even a dog could climb up!"
Gu Qingqiu spoke casually, but it’s actually not that simple.
To make the subordinates respect you, you must make everyone a community of interests.
The first thing Gu Qingqiu did after joining was sweeping dozens of nightclubs and casinos, resetting the charge fees.
In a nutshell, the fees had to be increased.
As for where gangs get their money or how they exploit civilians, Gu Qingqiu didn’t care; after all, in rule pollution, even causing societal turmoil doesn’t matter.
With money in hand, Gu Qingqiu didn’t keep a dime for herself, distributing it all to her subordinates; her position was thus secured.
In all honesty, Gu Qingqiu had just become an inspector for a few days, and her subordinates were already hoping she would continue to get promoted.
Because the larger the jurisdiction, the more benefits Gu Qingqiu could gain, and they could also get more soup.
"Impressive!"
Lin Baici listened intently, giving a thumbs up.
"What’s impressive, I just happened to have geographical and people advantage!"
Gu Qingqiu was very humble.
Actually, she was trained to be the successor by the Gu Family, and she had honed these social skills and ways of dealing with people long ago.
"How are things on your side?"
Gu Qingqiu eagerly asked, very concerned about Lin Baici’s situation: "Speaking of which, you never lack women wherever you go!"
"I’m purifying pollution, alright; there’s a psycho killer, that Rainy Night Butcher seems to have set eyes on that Qing Jie!"
Lin Baici explained: "She happens to be an actress, so by chance, I played a villain too!"
"I didn’t expect you could be so adaptable!"
Gu Qingqiu teased; she always considered Lin Baici rather proud and wouldn’t play a villain.
Lin Baici shrugged.
If it were in foreign films, playing a villain, Lin Baici definitely wouldn’t do it, not even in pollution, but this is just an action movie; everyone is just making a living, it doesn’t matter.
Work is work, no work is beneath anyone!
"That Rainy Night Butcher, I’ve heard about it; if it rained recently, I would have already devised a plan to trap him!"
This is a recent notorious villain: "I figure capturing him will just about clear this level even if not completely!"
"Not completely!"
Lin Baici took a sip of tea: "One must stand out, become a super celebrity, police chief, or club owner to clear it!"
"Actually, after having a conflict with these New Volunteer guys today, I plan to wipe them out, prepare to ’establish sect’, and go on the street to grab territory!"
Lin Baici calculated that the fastest route to rise is this one.
To become a celebrity, even if a film becomes a hit, it needs several months to ferment before achieving household recognition.
