Chapter 476: Firstly, Let Him Go. Secondly…
The FBI captain grabbed Xu Cheng and originally wanted to cross the street to the phone booth and call for help.
But who knew that a long truck would just directly drive up and stop in the middle of the street.
This was clearly a sign warning them to not cross.
The captain directly pointed his gun at Xu Cheng and said, “Don’t resist, this isn’t a place ruled by Mexicans!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. But, if you keep on pointing that gun at me, I will sue you for the mental damages you are causing me. Please understand the situation, right now you have no evidence to show that I committed a crime, and I’ve never been to the casino after coming to the M Nation this time. I’m a very reasonable guy. If you can reason, then I will reason with you. If you can’t, then sorry, I’m not someone you can easily pick on too.”
Xu Cheng looked at the captain right in the eye.
Just like he said, the FBI didn’t have any conclusive evidence at all. Right now, they had basically been pushed into a corner and wanted to just use some tough ways to force Xu Cheng to confess, and it was a common practice. As long as you go back with them to the police station, even if you were innocent, they can find something to convict you with.
So, the four gangs in Mexico definitely wouldn’t let these guys take Xu Cheng, even if their men had to murder those police officers.
This was the power of capitalism!
Even if it was the law, in a place like this, it would only work for capitalism.
Xu Cheng wasn’t worried at all that the four gangs would just stand by and watch, so from the very beginning, he cooperated with the police. At the same time, he also wanted to test what level of support these four gangs could provide him.
Now, by the looks of it, it was indeed a correct move to work together with them.
From beginning to end, he didn’t have to say or do anything. There will be a lawyer here with a scapegoat to get him out.
The captain stared right into Xu Cheng’s eyes and said with determination, “And I’m not someone easy to push over too. Let me tell you, I’m taking you back to the office today no matter what.”
With his hands cuffed, Xu Cheng still appeared to be quite calm.
A total of six FBI members were escorting him and they forcibly stopped a private car.
Then, pushing Xu Cheng into the van, the car didn’t even drive more than a couple dozens of meters before its tires were popped by a sniper rifle!
The car wobbled and scraped a couple of cars on the side of the streets too. Due to the sudden stop of this car, another car behind it was unable to brake in time and crashed right into their rear.
The driver of that car stepped out, directly went to this van, and slammed on the window as he shouted, “Get off of the car!”
The FBI captain directly took out his ID and said, “FBI, don’t get in our way.”
“FBI? I facking hate you scummy bugs the most, using the excuse of fighting for justice to only pick on lawful citizens! Let me tell you, if you don’t give me your insurance information, I’m not letting you go!”
Then, he shouted at his buddies that were sitting in his car. Three other guys got off of the car. They didn’t care about the FBI having guns because, in this land, the citizens even dared to point at the president’s face and curse; who would care about these guys in uniforms? They wouldn’t dare to just pull the trigger, because they were in the wrong first for causing such a ruckus on the streets. Secondly, not even the president would be able to excuse these agents if they just pulled the trigger on civilians for no good reason.
The FBI captain got really annoyed.
“You guys better not make trouble. If you want coverage for the damage, go to the FBI department to apply. We are handling a case right now.”
“Stop fooling around. If you guys would admit to our faults, would you still be called the FBI? Who doesn’t know that your department is stingy as fack and runs on a tight budget! Should’ve canceled your department a long time ago!”
The captain pointed his gun at him and threatened, “I’m telling you to not hinder our operation anymore.”
At this time, some reporters at the scene that was called over here immediately began recording.
The civilian that had a gun pointed at him immediately began shouting at the passerbys on the street, “Everyone, look, these are the guys that our tax money went to! Their guns are pointed towards us taxpayers, I’ve never seen an officer this amazing!”
“Captain, put down the gun!” At this time, the other officers whispered to the captain who was already blinded by rage. Things escalated way too quickly. In the M Nation, the citizens had absolute rights, and if anyone of their rights weren’t respected, it would cause a huge backlash. The West was particularly enthusiastic about protesting for their rights, they firmly did not allow the deprivation of what was rightfully theirs.
At this time, the captain’s signal finally came back to work, and he began to call for backup.
But now, they were completely surrounded by civilians.
But, whether the people here were all civilians was another story. All in all, the four gangs did sneak in a few of their own guys and would sneak in a few punches or kicks or so. And the agents obviously couldn’t just open fire at the crowd. The captain had a hot temper, and when he was kicked and punched, he couldn’t help but fight back.
But, that only enraged the crowd more, causing the event to intensify, and the six FBI agents were completely blocked off by the road, unable to move an inch.
When the backup arrived and used tear gas and flash grenades to disperse the crowd, the six officers all had bruises on their faces.
The local officers brought the agents into the ambulance, and Xu Cheng was taken away as well.
Then, the local government directly notified the White House, telling them to shorten the leash on their mad dogs to prevent them from running wild and instigating public hate towards the government. The cities and states all had their own government officials and the jurisdiction was not under the direct control of the White House. So, they had the right to appeal and accuse the FBI of misconduct towards the civilians during this operation.
“What civilians! Those guys are all organized, they are most likely from those Mexican gangs!” the captain couldn’t help but yell to his boss.
The shouting was a bit too loud, it even caused the wound and bruises on his face to hurt again.
“This time I told you to investigate first and then act, why did you directly go and arrest him? Even if it was that guy that had been the guy causing the casinos to lose money, do you have evidence that he broke the law? Just how much money did the casinos give you? Why are you breaking all the common protocols to work for them and go and directly arrest the suspect?”
Those questions immediately shut that captain up.
The boss snorted coldly, “Let that guy go.”
The captain’s eyes stared wide open. “It’s not enough to know that the remaining funds all went to his account?”
Boss: “So what? What evidence do you have that he didn’t win that money lawfully?”
Then, the captain’s higher-up directly took out a file and said, “Look, this is Senator Jerry’s complaint, saying that we severely damaged the government’s image, and he demands that our department be disbanded.
The captain’s eyes stared even wider.
“So, as for your actions for this operation, the higher-up already has a decision. Firstly, let him go. Secondly, you and your team are hereby all temporarily ‘sent on vacation’!”
“Fack!”
