Out of His Depth

The hot-tempered and impulsive young man, who was inspecting the vehicle's drive shaft, noticed the approaching police as soon as he received the warning. Instead of climbing out from the side the police were coming from, he chose the other side.

But he was still too slow, and Akumali, who was not tall, warned him too late. He had just run out and hadn't had a chance to escape when he was grabbed by several policemen.

He struggled fiercely and almost broke free from the police's restraints. Several policemen tackled him to the ground, and the group wrestled and rolled around in a mess. In the end, the hot-tempered and impulsive young cadre was no match for the policemen. The police Handcuffs his wrists, and he stopped struggling.

Once Handcuffs, trying to struggle is just making things harder for yourself. Whether it's police in a civilized society or a barbaric one, they always have many ways of using Handcuffs that, while not violating regulations, make life unbearable.

So he stopped resisting, but he didn't resist because the police officers who had struggled and looked so pathetic earlier were unwilling to let him go.

The police officers pulled out rubber batons and began to beat him mercilessly. The batons had a thick layer of rubber on the outside, making it less likely to cause irreversible injuries, and they used extra force.

At this point, Akumali hurriedly pushed the police aside. He had no choice but to take action, as he was still the Leader of the local Youth Party and had to protect the impulsive and Irritable Young Man.

In that instant, many explanations flashed through his mind, but in the end he chose the most unexpected one. "We are employees of foreigners, you can't do this!"

The initially menacing police officers paused for a moment upon hearing that they were foreign employees, and then calmed down.

People at the bottom of society in this city and even the entire province may not know much about "Mr. Lin Qi" and his "deeds," but most of the police officers do, and their attitudes changed immediately.

One of the leading policemen hung his baton back on his belt, straightened his clothes, and dusted them off. He glanced sideways at the hot-tempered and impulsive young man who had been beaten black and blue in just a few seconds, and said loudly, "The person behind you planned the big protest we had not long ago. He is an important criminal that the mayor and the police chief personally ordered to be arrested!"

Akumali. He was a little unsure of what expression to make. He turned around and glanced at the impulsive and short-tempered cadre behind him, who was also stunned. It was as if he was asking, "How the hell did you get exposed?"

Whether it's launching large-scale demonstrations or organizing other movements, the Youth Party already has a complete plan. To put it simply, when orders are passed down from the top to the bottom, it's all one-to-one communication.

For example, if Akumali assigns a cadre who is impulsive and short-tempered to be in charge of a matter, he will not tell the person in charge, and he will not even talk about it before the matter occurs.

This cadre would then find a few subordinates, tell them a time, a place, and what to do. He would not personally contact any further subordinates. Each person had a list of subordinates, but no list of superiors. This was to prevent the possibility that if one of the henchmen was arrested, everyone would be arrested.

Even so, the impulsive cadre was still exposed and arrested.

There has been no recent news related to Youth Party, nor has any factual basis emerged indicating that the authorities have found any significant leads in their investigation of Youth Party's activities.

That can only mean that he revealed his identity himself. Considering his flamboyant personality, Akumali felt very tired.

He was silent for a moment, then stepped aside and said in a low voice, "I will help you get out of here as soon as possible. Don't resist, just deal with it for now."

A flash of hatred crossed the face of the impulsive and short-tempered cadre. He nodded, stopped resisting, and let the police take him away.

By this point, he already knew who had betrayed him, and that the person who had arranged the march was none other than the short-statured Akumali, his few men, and one of his good friends.

They're supposed to be good friends, but they're really just neighbors who grew up together.

In Nagaril, due to certain social structures, neighbors sometimes have very close relationships. After all, life is so simple, and it would be even more difficult without someone to help out.

Coupled with the children's innocent nature, they easily become friends, as close as brothers.

He was later recruited into the Youth Party as a cadre, while his childhood friends continued to wander around aimlessly all day.

He had wanted to recruit this friend into the Youth Party, but according to the Youth Party's membership development rules, his friend was not suitable to become a member, so he had to give up.

During his conversation with his friends, he couldn't help but praise his current status and what he was going to do.

This kind of showing off can be understood as wanting to show off a little in front of a good friend to satisfy one's vanity and to show that one is actually doing quite well now. But he never expected that it would be this kind of showing off that would lead to betrayal by a friend he considered to be close enough to him, a friend of more than 20 years.

Watching the officials being arrested, Akumali's head throbbed with pain. He punched the side of the truck, the pain making him gasp. His chaotic thoughts left him utterly helpless in finding a solution to the problem.

Before Nagaril Youth Party was recognized as an illegal organization, he could probably find a way to resolve the issue, since they were minor matters that could be settled with a little money.

Back then, the police were very easy to talk to. Give them some money, and they would casually assign a charge of no specific punishment to an impulsive official, give him a few lashes, and he would be released.

That won't work now. Nagaril Youth Party is an illegal organization now. It's not impossible to bribe the police, but it's very risky, and there's a high chance that more of your accomplices will be exposed.

They can't bribe the police, and the higher-level Youth Party organizations will likely find it difficult to help them; they're basically powerless to do anything about it.

The police officer just now said that this was someone the mayor and the Police Chief specifically wanted to arrest. This meant that unless he could bring out someone of higher status than the mayor to change the situation of the Impulsive Cadre, no one could help him. He was completely helpless! After thinking it over, he thought he might try to get in touch with the convoy. When the police were beating his companions, he only said that they were all foreign employees, and the police stopped what they were doing. This showed that foreigners still had a strong influence on the police. Perhaps the convoy Captain had a way.

He quickly located the team Captain, a foreigner from the Federal named Cook.

Cook was also transferred from the Federal by Lin Qi. The Sabine City transport fleet will remain unchanged and will continue to be managed by the new management team.

Older people like Cook were all mobilized by Lin Qi.

Don't think that working abroad, especially in underdeveloped countries, is a hardship. The happiness that people like Cook experience is unimaginable to those in China who are unwilling to go abroad.

Their monthly salary is roughly equivalent to that of ten to twenty Nagaril locals—in addition to a basic salary, there are substantial subsidies, which allows each skilled worker from the Federal to earn more than $350, and there is still a significant shortfall.

With such a salary, they could live comfortably locally. If they didn't care about the potential smells from the locals, they could spend a wonderful night with a different young girl every day and still save a considerable amount of money! This has led to a frighteningly rapid boom in the tech industry involving relationships with girls in Nagaril!

Cook knew that Akumali was a short, thick-browed young man with big eyes, and he had a good impression of him because he was hardworking and grateful, which was gratifying.

Cook didn't want to get involved when he heard him talking about these things. He was just a team Captain responsible for scheduling transportation capacity, and he didn't want to interfere too much in the conflicts between the locals.

But Akumali kept pleading, and Cook himself wasn't a bad person and was easily swayed, so he eventually decided to ask for Akumali.

He couldn't make the decision on this matter; he had to ask Lin Qi for his opinion. If Lin Qi agreed to get involved, it would just be a matter of a phone call.

If Lin Qi says it's inconvenient for him to get involved, Cook can then refuse Akumali's persistent pleas.

Shortly after, Lin Qi received a call from Cook.

"I heard that your team members have been having a lot of fun lately. You even said you wanted to marry a bunch of wives, is that right?" Lin Qi's voice was filled with a kind of teasing that didn't feel unfamiliar.

This gave Cook and some of his earliest followers a strange feeling: Lin Qi wasn't like other bosses who forgot about their old buddies once they made money.

He was like a friend to everyone, joking around with each other and caring about their lives. This comfortable relationship made everyone feel grateful to Lin Qi and willing to work for Lin Qi.

Cook blushed slightly. He was unmarried in the Federal, he didn't own a house, and at thirty years old, he still lived with his single mother.

Many girls, upon hearing about his family background, had no desire to even meet him, and even those who had had one or two girlfriends before quickly broke up with them.

No one could stand this situation. Cook's case would be considered a "severely troubled family" in the Federal, and girls wouldn't want to get into such trouble.

This allowed Cook to have a lot of fun here, without any pressure.

They organize all sorts of parties, and the girls from Nagaril are not only young and beautiful, but their slightly darker skin is also more delicate than that of the girls from the Federal.

These girls are easily satisfied, unlike the Federal girls, whose appetites you can never truly satisfy.

In Nagaril, a real man is one who is rich, and he can enjoy everything he is entitled to.

Cook is getting on in years, and he plans to marry two or three wives locally. He didn't expect that just as he casually mentioned it to others, Lin Qi found out and teased him about it.

"Boss... you've put me in a very awkward position!"

He complained with a smile.
