Chapter 717: So Arrogant!

Leaving that study room with a whiteboard covered in legal statute analysis, Zeng Jin already felt like his worldview had been scrubbed raw several times over.

A gang… no, these Wanlong Society people, studying law to this extent… he didn’t even know what to say anymore.

He even had the illusion that he hadn’t come to visit some gang headquarters, but had stumbled into some bizarre, strange base.

However, he never imagined that what he’d see next would truly show him why Wanlong Society could cover the sky with one hand in Pearl City.

Cheng Gang led them out of the study area, took the elevator up several more floors, and entered the normal office area of Wanlong Society.

This floor looked very normal, like any legitimate corporate office.

Zeng Jin finally relaxed, thinking he’d finally see something normal, but when his eyes moved to the walls, he froze again.

Almost every wall in the office had something hanging on it, very much like commendation banners.

[“Upholding Justice, Serving the People with Enthusiasm”] — From a certain Pearl City district police station.

[“Model of Police-Civilian Cooperation”] — From Pearl City Police Headquarters.

[“Acting Bravely for Justice, Noble Character”] — From Pearl City Office of Comprehensive Social Security Management.

Zeng Jin’s eyelid twitched. He took a few more steps forward and looked into another open reception room.

That wall was even more exaggerated.

Besides the banners, there were also many framed group photos.

He recognized some of the people in the photos—they seemed to be high-ranking members of Wanlong Society’s black-clad enforcers.

In the photos, they were wearing black, smiling, and shaking hands with several middle-aged leaders in police uniforms.

Zeng Jin: “…”

No way… this… this is for real?

You run a society, employ thugs, practice martial arts, even study those absurd criminal laws—I can accept all that.

But your office is covered in banners sent by police stations, and you’re arm-in-arm with high-level police officials taking commemorative photos, and you display them openly… what is this?

Could it be that the corruption between officials and criminals on the mainland has become so rampant they’ve stopped hiding it? They just casually show it to outsiders?

Too arrogant, right?

That intense sense of contrast was something Zeng Jin couldn’t describe—it wasn’t fear, he just couldn’t hold it together. He really couldn’t hold it together!

Cheng Gang seemed long accustomed to such reactions and naturally introduced: “Wanlong Society has always upheld the philosophy of actively participating in public welfare, assisting the police in maintaining public order and cracking down on illegal and criminal activities. These banners and awards are just part of our fulfillment of social responsibility and our contribution to building a harmonious society. There’s really no need to be so surprised.”

Zeng Jin coughed dryly and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes, your company’s consciousness is indeed high. No wonder Director Liu always says Wanlong Society is a legitimate company. Today I’ve truly witnessed it. This is indeed, indeed very… very special.”

As he said this, he was already mentally going crazy with complaints.

No wonder Wanlong Society can grow so big, can expand its business so widely—their connections are already this solid.

This isn’t just about having influence in both legal and illegal circles anymore; this is directly moving the table out into broad daylight.

Before seeing Wanlong Society’s headquarters with his own eyes, he really couldn’t imagine there was such a… peculiar and arrogant society in this world.

They practice martial arts, study law, take photos arm-in-arm with police station leaders, and display them openly.

Reaching this level in society… that’s not just “mixing in society” anymore.

That’s just too damn impressive!

But Liang Mengsong, who had been quiet the whole time, kept nodding after seeing these honors: “Excellent! Excellent! Companies so enthusiastic about public welfare with such a sense of responsibility are rare these days.”

Zeng Jin: “???”

Wait, Engineer Liang, what are you saying?

You couldn’t possibly think Wanlong Society is really some enthusiastic public welfare, police-civilian cooperation model enterprise, right?

He opened his mouth, about to say something, but swallowed his words back down.

He suddenly remembered that from beginning to end, Liang Mengsong didn’t know Wanlong Society’s true background at all.

Never mind then.
