Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

"Get Zhong Meng over here!" the deputy governor shouted, slamming his fist on the table.

The secretary immediately ran to the police station to call for help, and within a few minutes, Zhong Meng, dressed in a police uniform, ran over.

What sets him apart from ordinary police officers is that his clothes are covered in stars.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Zhong Meng jogged up to the deputy governor, showing his loyalty and respect for the deputy governor.

After all, Vice Governor Wang Ping was basically the most powerful person in Tianhai besides the foreigners.

The governor-general had long been largely sidelined.

Wang Ping threw the leaflet at his face.

Zhong Meng picked up the flyer, and after reading its contents, his face showed a look of great surprise, which quickly turned into anger.

"How could Tianhai have such a lawless scoundrel?"

His expression suggested that he was truly discovering the existence of the dock gang for the first time.

"Lord Wang, recently some important figures have come to the concession. I've been focusing on maintaining order in the surrounding area, but I haven't been paying attention to the docks. I..." Zhong Meng explained.

With such a sincere expression, no one could blame him anymore.

"Alright, alright, quickly send people to wipe out that dock gang, the sooner the better, and rescue all the victims."

Wang Ping waved his hand and said, "A gang, and they've even gotten involved in a case? Who do they think they are, the police? Even if they are guilty, it's the police, the governor's office, that makes the judgment. Unauthorized enforcement is contempt for the imperial court and must be severely punished."

Zhong Meng nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, Lord Wang. I'll take care of it right away."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Police Station.

After Zhong Meng returned to his office, several constables were waiting there.

Upon seeing him return, he quickly asked, "Director, what did Deputy Governor Wang want to see you about?"

They had gathered here earlier to discuss matters concerning the dock gang.

The conclusion is that it's best to leave it alone unless there are orders from above.

Or rather, the foreigners gave orders.

But even if there are orders, they're just for show; merging the two cities is absolutely impossible.

Their men are their foundation for standing firm in the police station. If all their men are wiped out, what use is their position as police chief?

"Lord Wang wants us to take action with the dock gang," Zhong Meng said.

The constables all frowned: "Chief, what do you have to say?"

"What else can I say? Of course, I guarantee the elimination of the dock gang. But this elimination will take time; we'll have to take it slowly," Zhong Meng said with a smile.

The constables understood his meaning, and their brows relaxed, but they still worriedly said, "In that case, we won't be able to explain it to Vice Governor Wang."

"Of course it's hard to explain, but we'll admit our mistakes properly. If Lord Wang has the ability, he can find someone else to eliminate the dock gang. Then I'll be completely convinced," Zhong Meng said calmly.

He wasn't worried at all about how Wang Ping would treat him.

If he were to be replaced, the constables below would absolutely not agree.

The new director has barely taken office, and he'll probably die by suicide after being shot in the back.

That's where his confidence comes from.

"Besides, it's not like we can't be loyal to the court. Johnny always talks about eliminating the dock gang, so let him go this time," Zhong Meng said.

Johnny's parents were both officials in the Governor's Office, so he became the head constable not long after he joined the police force.

After becoming the head constable, he was different from the other head constables and worked very hard.

But this diligence was a sign of respect for foreigners and a heavy blow to the people of Da Xuan.

If the case involves foreigners and people from Daxuan, then we should only listen to the foreigners and ignore the people from Daxuan.

This differential treatment made the constables, who had previously thought themselves a bit spineless, suddenly feel much stronger.

At least they maintain a semblance of fairness.

Who would have thought that Johnny, who had returned from studying abroad, would stop acting altogether.

"Then let Johnny go. If he does a good job, it will be a credit to our police station. If he does a bad job, someone will take the blame." The police chiefs exchanged glances and laughed.

The relevant orders were soon delivered to Johnny, who was patrolling the streets of the foreign concession.

Johnny is currently handling a case involving a foreigner and a dancer.

The dancer tearfully recounted how she had spent the night with a foreigner, who not only refused to pay her but also beat her.

The foreigner was tall and strong, the dancer had a bruised and swollen nose and eyes, and both of their clothes were in a very disheveled state.

There were also passersby who testified that they did see the foreigner assault the dancer.

"It's an honor for you to spend the night with this gentleman, how dare you ask for money and touch his hand with your face to gain sympathy."

Johnny said coldly, "She's just shameless. Take her back and lock her up for a few days to bring her to her senses."

The police officers nearby immediately stepped forward and restrained the dancer.

The dancer's eyes widened in disbelief that the other party would show such favoritism.

The pedestrians around were also shocked; this was no longer an act at all.

"Sir, I'm very sorry you had such a bad experience. If you feel emotionally traumatized, you can seek compensation from her," Johnny said to the foreigner in Viren.

The foreigner laughed and said, "Although Da Xuan is a barbaric place, there are still some civilized people. As for this lady's extortion of me, I will not pursue the matter."

Johnny was visibly excited by the foreigner's praise and said, "You are truly a kind gentleman."

Just then, a police officer jogged over from a distance and whispered something in his ear.

"What?! They're going after the dock gang? The chief's finally figured it out. Those social cancers should be eradicated!" Johnny said, pounding his fist.

He had heard more than once that if foreigners had conflicts with the Da Xuan people at the dock market, they would be beaten by the dock gang.

They were simply a bunch of barbaric and uncivilized bastards.

He had long wanted to rid the people of this scourge, but he had been suppressed for a long time. Now he could finally take action.

"Gather the brothers, grab your weapons, and head to the dockside market," Johnny shouted.

"Wait, Chief Constable Johnny, the chief said to rescue these people if possible." The constable told them about the execution of the opium den owner.

"They're all poor gentlemen. Just because they're rich, they get to be treated like this? So what if it's white smoke? Plenty of people abroad smoke white smoke and nothing happens. They just see someone has money and find an excuse to attack them."

Johnny said with deep pity, "I will definitely save these gentlemen."

His officers looked utterly disgusted when they heard his speech.

Even though they often act as corrupt police officers, accepting bribes and distorting the truth, they felt a bit like they were Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history) after hearing Johnny's words.

But no matter what, Johnny was their boss, and since he decided to take action against the dock gang, they had no choice but to follow suit.

The owners of the opium dens that need to be rescued are all extremely wealthy, and they will certainly receive a large reward after being rescued.
