CHAPTER 805: CHAPTER 406: ABOVE JIULONG POOL

"Do you still not know what kind of person our director is?"

Wu Qingshan said coldly, his eyes filled with a strong sense of mockery.

"We’re the Security Department, not a slave division for the big families, but has he ever caught a single person from these families since he became the director?"

"How many ordinary people have the guts to commit crimes? The ones truly committing murder and arson are still these big family members, but has he ever handled a single one of them?"

Since joining the Security Department, he’s always felt dissatisfied, yet the upper structure was controlled by the big families.

Even though he has a promising future and is quite respected among the younger generation, he understands that being capable doesn’t necessarily mean one can become the director.

The higher-ups want privileges, the lower ones want benefits, and those stuck in the middle, besides working, have no way to show their presence.

But no matter what, there should be a limit to everything.

There’s nothing wrong with currying favor with the higher-ups, as they provide the meal, he flatters them too, but should they treat the Security Department like slaves?

"I heard that Miss Zheng swindled a whopping ten billion, and now she’s turning the tables, refusing to admit it, yet we still have to aid the Zheng Clan. Isn’t this bullying?"

A middle-aged man snorted coldly, his heart filled with rage.

The others didn’t speak, but they mostly felt dissatisfied too.

As the two people in front spoke more outrageously, a person in a supervisory uniform stepped forward and coughed twice.

"Wu Qingshan, don’t say any more. Immediately send a few people to escort the guests down."

Wu Qingshan was taken aback and looked behind the man.

Behind him stood a few people wearing expensive suits.

"Do they want to go to Jiulong Pool?"

Wu Qingshan raised an eyebrow and said somewhat pointedly.

"Most people in this world care about money, but most are also incompetent. Money can solve most problems, but the few it can’t solve often pose a greater danger..."

Upon hearing this, the man’s expression became even more indifferent and ugly.

He was also with the Security Department and of deputy commander rank.

In the entire Security Department hierarchy, he ranked above Wu Qingshan, yet he couldn’t command Wu Qingshan.

Many eyed the director’s position.

Some relied on ability, others on connections, while some weren’t competent enough in various aspects, yet refused to give up, only relying on currying favor with the big families, hoping they would push them up like an obedient dog.

The person in front of Wu Qingshan belonged to this type.

In Wu Qingshan’s view, this type has one characteristic: they believe money can solve all problems.

"Why are you wasting so many words with him? Aren’t you his superior? Just order him right away to send someone to escort us down!"

Among the people standing behind the man, one dressed in a black suit, with a head full of blond hair, wore an arrogant expression.

Faced with these Security Department people, he showed no reverence, treating them instead like his household slaves.

Wu Qingshan looked at him with mockery.

"Order me? Not even the director has the right to command me directly. Do you think he can make me comply?"

"And if something really happens, do you expect him to save you? He’s interested in your family, your money, but not you as a person! If something does happen, wouldn’t it still be us brothers who end up saving you?"

At those words, the faces of several people present changed suddenly.

Wu Qingshan’s words were harsh, but the meaning behind them left no room for anger.

No one here is foolish.

It’s just rhetoric, but when crisis truly strikes, who will help and who will stand by is already well understood.

"We need to go down, please assign some brothers, I won’t treat them poorly afterward."

The blond youth suppressed his anger, his attitude softened a bit, but he still showed no respect to Wu Qingshan.

What Wu Qingshan said was true, but the problem was it was too unpleasant to hear.

However, Wu Qingshan still didn’t give in.

"I have to be responsible for the lives of my brothers. You’re not afraid of death, you can hire desperadoes to guard you. My brothers are just responsible for standing guard here and won’t step forward."

After saying that, Wu Qingshan stopped looking at their faces and waved them away, having the deputy commander and others all thrown out.

His orders were to enforce a complete lockdown, not allowing anyone in regardless of who they were.

If things got out of hand, he would just use these orders as his shield.

This matter had nothing to do with him from start to finish.

The higher-ups want to stir things up, why make things difficult for the younger members?

Wu Qingshan showed no respect, and as much as the deputy commander fumed, there was nothing to do.

Wu Qingshan was highly capable and held great respect among the lower and middle ranks. If he showed no regard, even if the deputy commanded a higher position, nothing could be done.

"Guests, please allow me to take you to another place, let’s take a different route?"

The man said ingratiatingly.

The blond man cast a deep look at Wu Qingshan, then turned and walked in another direction.

"Wu Qingshan, you’ve caused trouble for our brothers again. I’m afraid next month’s allowance will be cut!"

The middle-aged man beside him rubbed his brow, saying somewhat helplessly.

"I have kids to feed, can you give me a break?"

Before Wu Qingshan came, they had it tough, but not to this extent.

Now each brother worked two jobs and still got scolded here, with no benefits at all.

"You all quit complaining!

Didn’t I let you vote back then, and didn’t you all vote unanimously for me to stay? Now you’re complaining about being broke, why didn’t you leave? Did I force you to stay?"
