I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 272 - 182: Loyalty Test

"Mm-hmm, I get it. I won't tell anyone."

Shengjiao was overwhelmed with joy, wiped her eyes, and said, "Manager Wu, you're just like Gang Bro, both of you are good people. Thank you."

"No need to thank me. We're fellow townspeople, it's only right to help you a bit. Get yourself together, don't let anyone notice anything when you go back."

Shengjiao quickly dried her tears, patted her little chest, adjusted her emotions, and took a deep breath.

However, this matter had indeed given her a massive emotional shock.

It took her over ten minutes to calm down, then she said, "Thank you, Manager Wu. I'm alright now."

"Mm, go back to work."

"Okay."

With a sense of relief, Shengjiao returned to the office.

Seeing the way everyone looked at her, she felt lucky to have met Gang Bro and Manager Wu amidst her misfortunes.

"Jiaojiao, what did Manager Wu call you over for just now?"

As soon as she sat down, the person next to her couldn't resist their curiosity and leaned over to ask.

"Nothing much, Manager Wu just said that if there's anything I don't understand, I can ask him in his office."

Shengjiao remembered Manager Wu's words well and didn't reveal the truth. If she did, not only would she not be able to go back, but she might also implicate Gang Bro and Manager Wu.

"Jiaojiao, you're really lucky. Just arrived and Gang Bro already likes you. We're having a hard time, still aching all over. That electric baton hit us so bad, I felt like I was going to die."

"Who's talking? Have you met this week's performance target? Are you itching for a scolding?"

At that moment, the team leader heard the two talking and immediately scolded them. Seeing the situation, the two lowered their heads and dared not speak anymore.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Manager Wen was restless in his office.

Shao Gang's current situation put him under great pressure.

If a new armed force was formed, with his abilities, he definitely wouldn't be able to compete with special forces, and it was only a matter of time before he would be eliminated.

Originally, he thought he could use someone else to eliminate him, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

"What to do?"

Just then, his phone rang; it was Manager Wu calling him.

Seeing that number, Manager Wen didn't want to answer it. He didn't know what old Wu's plans were now.

It was because of a single word from him that made this matter have no room for maneuver at all.

Once Shao Gang passed the loyalty test, his promotion was almost a sure thing.

"Hello, old Wu, what's up?"

"What? Are you mad at me? I'm doing this for your own good," said Manager Wu cheerfully over the phone.

Before the final result was out, he wouldn't choose sides, playing both ends was the way to last until the end.

Shao Gang's presence was no threat to him. He made money with his brains, and as long as the boss wanted to make money, he was indispensable.

So whether the head of the security department was surnamed Wen or Shao, it didn't concern him.

"Oh? So tell me, how is this for my own good?"

Manager Wen sneered inwardly; this was clearly a trap for him. He wanted to hear how old Wu would explain it.

"I understand your concerns now. You're just worried that if Shao Gang rises, your status will be affected..."

"You knew that and still said that?"

"Don't rush, hear me out. Shao Gang won't pass the loyalty test."

Hearing Manager Wu say that made his heart flutter, and he asked curiously, "How so?"

"It's an open scheme; he's definitely going to falter. Shao Gang's biggest weakness isn't money, but being soft-hearted, or rather, soft-hearted towards his compatriots. Look how ruthless he is against the Indians and the Burmese? But when it comes to that little girl? He can't bring himself to do it, why?"

"Why?"

"Did you forget? What was he before?"

"A special forces soldier."

"Not completely, he was a People's Liberation Army soldier. He was trained to protect the lives and property of the people. Can such a concept change overnight?"

"No!"

"Exactly, so what are you worried about?"

After Manager Wu's explanation, the haze in his heart cleared up: "Hahaha, no wonder you make a living off your wits; always full of ideas. If this works out, I'll treat you to a month of fun at Royal Bliss."

"Don't get too excited yet; this needs your cooperation to succeed."

At this point, Manager Wen was fully convinced: "Cooperate, tell me how to cooperate, I'll follow your lead."

"Tomorrow night, just as Shao Gang is pulling the night shift, I'll arrange for that woman to escape at midnight. You just need to arrange for a truck to deliver goods before dawn, and have Shao Gang's team help unload it... If he really helps the woman escape, your people can come out immediately and catch him in the act!"

"Alright, that's easy, I'll handle it!"

Manager Wen happily hung up the phone and then called Chata to his office.

Soon, Chata knocked and entered.

"Brother Wen, you called for me?"

"How's your hand?"

Last time, Chata got cut by Shao Gang's blade while searching him. He thought he would fall out of favor after Shao Gang arrived, but didn't expect Brother Wen to remember such a minor injury, which touched him a bit: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Wen. It's not a big deal."

Manager Wen comforted: "That's good. You've followed me for so many years, you're always number one in my heart. Don't worry about Shao Gang replacing you."

Shao Gang wouldn't replace Chata; he was meant to replace him.

"I have something for you to do tomorrow night..."

Manager Wen conveyed the plan just discussed, but was stumped by one of Chata's questions at the end.

"What if Shao Gang doesn't let her escape?"

Everything in their plan hinged on Shao Gang letting the woman go. According to old Wu, he certainly would, but it's always good to be cautious.

"Doesn't let her escape?"

Manager Wen murmured and suddenly, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes: "Then get rid of him."

"Understood, Brother Wen, leave it to me."

Chata was secretly pleased to hear this; it seemed Brother Wen didn't like him either.

After being humiliated by Shao Gang last time, he had been holding a grudge, waiting for a chance to teach him a lesson. Now with this opportunity, he wouldn't miss it.

"Alright, go ahead and arrange it!"

Once Chata left, Manager Wen sneered: "I was planning to let you live a few more days, but your prominence is too glaring. I can't afford to keep you around anymore."

All of Manager Wen's kindness to Li Xiang was based on him being of use. Once the other threatened his position, he would not hesitate to eliminate them.

-----------------

The next morning, Li Xiang was called to the office by Brother Wen while still in his dorm.

"Brother Wen, you wanted to see me?"

When Manager Wen saw Li Xiang, he invited him to sit down and asked, "Right, if I recall correctly, you're on the night shift tonight?"

"Yes."

"Perfect. Tonight, around one or two in the morning, a shipment will arrive at the company. Make sure your dorm mates help with the unloading. The items are important, so supervise the process and ensure the count matches the delivery note."

"Okay, Brother Wen, no problem."

"Good. Just make sure your dorm mates handle it. Save your strength and let them do the heavy lifting. Don't exhaust yourself."

Manager Wen feigned care.

"Got it, thanks, Brother Wen."

After returning from Brother Wen's office, Li Xiang assigned tonight's task to Daozai and the others.

At this point, Li Xiang was unaware that a test awaited him silently, and it would be the biggest challenge he faced since entering CC Park.

Evening came quickly, and the guard notified Li Xiang and his group that the truck had arrived for unloading.

Li Xiang led Daozai and the others to the playground to start unloading, while he stood under the streetlight to verify the cargo list for any omissions.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a shadowy figure gesturing at him from the darkness, a figure he found familiar.
