Successor II

Whoever tries to harm you, we'll bump them off right away. If you retire, I guarantee that the law and order in this city will crumble immediately. The police force would also lose a vital member. In my heart, there is only one boss. And that's you. Chief Gao. Look at these three guys. Who will be chosen… Go. Next. Damn, I don't believe it. Next. There's no way. All of them missed. I dozed off for a bit. In my dream, one of you dared to aim for my life and even tried to stab me in the back. Who is it? Ah. Chief, it's not me. I'm totally loyal to you. Chief Gao. Someone dares to harm you? How audacious! If I find out who it is, I'll execute them right away. You all know that my retirement is near. You guys have some devious plans in your minds? No, no. Chief, there's no way. Chief Gao, I'm just your attack dog. I bite whoever you tell me to bite. Chief, give me the knife. I'll gouge out my heart for you to inspect. Here's a deck of cards. Only one card has "Next Police Chief" written on it. Whoever selects it can be my successor. Who wants to go first? I will. Chief, I decline. It's up to you. Chief, we refuse. We'll abide by your decision. Just do what I say. Come pick a card. Alright. I'm the next chief. Thank you Chief Gao for the promotion! Are you crazy? I'm the next chief. What nonsense! You dare to hit me? I'm the next chief. No I am. I'm next. It's me. Successor 2: Next in Line Dear, I'm full of anxiety these days, enough to give me headaches. There's only six months until I retire. My subordinates are no pushovers. Although they appear to be absolutely respectful on the surface, it's difficult to reveal one's true colours. You can see one's face, but you can't see their heart. The choice of the successor concerns your personal safety after you retire and our future well-being. Dear. Tell me. What should I do? How about this? Leak the news that you've been shuanggui'd. Let's see how they react. Have some tea. You wench. You scald me just when I started enjoying the music. Your anger's getting out of control. You beat me at every chance. Chief Gao was shuanggui'd. Please help. Chief Gao was shuanggui'd? Gao was shuanggui'd? It's from his wife. Looks like it's for real. Your corruption and bribery won't be disclosed by him right? What am I afraid of? Everyone in the police department is greedier than me. Chief Gao was shuanggui'd. Please help. Hey. Listen. Relocate all the materials and funds related to the demolition of the Jianxing Group. Gao was shuanggui'd? What do I do? Why're you overreacting to this news? You don't know how complicated this is. You didn't do anything shady with him right? What can I do? Whatever I did was based on his orders. Listen to me. Prepare evidence against him right away. Expose him. Gao. Yes, dear. Any news from those three guys? They must be freaking out. I guess they haven't come to their senses yet. My idea is brilliant right? Who could think of such a thing? Of course. If this won't reveal which of them is loyal to you, then there's no other way. Dear, you're a genius. Alright, I'm leaving. They're missing one person for Mahjong. Enjoy, my dear. Others guard the stairs. Freeze! Don't move! What a scene! Little punk. You think I've never been in this situation before? Here, right here. Shoot. Don't have the guts right? Enough! Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? You want to tell me that I've been shuanggui'd right? Gao Weizheng, I'm officially notifying you that you've been shuanggui'd. Come with us for questioning. To tell you the truth, this news was leaked by my wife. It's fake news. Are you guys stupid? Yeah? How can you believe that? Gao Weizheng, don't get ahead of yourself. Even if the news is fake, the whistleblower documents we received are real. Based on the materials, we conducted an investigation of you. You're accused of multiple crimes. The evidence is clear. Take him away! Confession. That witch. I shouldn't have agreed with her crazy idea. Now I'm in here. Coming. Madame Huang. Why is it you? I thought it was my cousin. What a disappointment. Please help out my husband with his situation. Madame Huang, given our many years being Mahjong partners, please request Minister Huang to save my husband. Don't give me that. Gao dug his own grave. It has nothing to do with us. When Huang was promoted to minister, my husband played a pivotal role. You've been in bureaucracy for so many years. How can you not understand? Surveillance is everywhere out there. Don't implicate us. Leave. How can you be so heartless? Where's your conscience? What conscience. Why is it so noisy? I can't even get a good rest. Who was it? That was Gao's wife. Why did she come here? You have to be careful in the future. Don't let her step in here. Ok, ok. I'll just kick her out the next time. Gao, time to eat. You have half an hour. Make it quick. What're you staring at? Don't want it? Is there beer? Beer? How about Moutai? Who do you think you are? You're no longer the chief of police, got it? Watch your mouth. It's a nice place here. In a couple of days when you get transferred, you'll experience real despair. I'll make you pay, you got it? You dare to provoke me? Listen up. Right now, I can crush you like an ant. With your charges, you should just prepare to rot in jail. Gao Weizheng. I hope that you can come clean in order to plead for clemency. Stop talking to me in that haughty tone. This is a frame-up. When I get out… Get out? Look at these whistleblower reports. You think you can get out? Based on the evidence we have, you colluded with the mafia in arms trafficking. The Tuberose Nightclub is your rendezvous point. There, you engaged in a significant number of arms transactions. Chief Gao, welcome back. I've missed you so much. Your presence lights up our club. Come, pour a drink for Chief Gao. ~You ask, how deep is my love for you.~ ~How much do I love you?~ ~Have a think. Have a look.~ Let them in. Fengxian, take a rest for now. Let's continue singing later. Ok, Chief Gao. Good. Biao, come in. Chief. Thanks for your authorization last time. My shipment of weapons successfully crossed the border into Russia. A little something to show my appreciation. These three guns are American-made. Technologically advanced. With your marksmanship, it's safe to say that every shot hits the target, one shot one kill. Chief, Biao did well. Biao… keep up the good work. A bright future awaits. Do you have anything to say on this? I'm not the only one responsible. None of the people involved can escape. Also, you colluded with your fellow townsman to buy and sell official positions. You went too far. I heard that you needed a deputy so I brought my son-in-law. What are you capable of? Loyalty. If you give me a chance, I'll go through hell and high water for you, at all costs. I prepared these two boxes of apples for you. Look at them. You'll be satisfied for sure. That box is exactly the same as this one. Based on our conclusive evidence, you have more than twenty boxes of embezzled money. A sum of over 25 million yuan. As a police chief, you couldn't stand by the law. Instead you used your authority to conduct numerous illegal activities. In addition, You tried to pay for a life with money. Care to explain? Chief Gao. You summoned me? This is President Du. He's here to help you handle your uncle's hit-and-run. This is Ms. Meng. Ms. Meng, I have long admired you. Ms. Meng is most beautiful. President Du, I'm in your care. Not a problem. I'll take care of it. It's only two million. I'll just leave it here. It's only one life. As long as it's money-related, President Du can take care of it. After you took the bribe, you didn't even compensate the victim. You abused your power to harbour the perpetrators. The victim's family knelt in front of your home for an entire day and you still refused to address them. When they came to seek justice at your office, you had your men beat them and drove them out. This is a warning. Be prepared for consequences if you dare to speak out. We won't. We don't dare to. Get lost. How're you any different from the mafia? Other than the above, you're also responsible for the deaths of three lives. Do you concur? You're talking about Falun Gong right? Move it! Hurry! Hurry up. Get in the car. Isn't this Lieutenant Liu? You've solved many big cases, key cases. You're a hero who received second-class exemplary recognition. Liu Yangtao, why do you go to such lengths? Here's my advice. Just say you renounce Falun Gong and tonight, you can enjoy a fine, gourmet dinner. Let's savour a good meal. How about it? I won't renounce it. That time at Quanyang, when I was apprehending criminals, I was stabbed in the chest. There was blood everywhere. If I didn't practice Falun Gong, I would've died right there. How can I renounce it? That's quite heroic. Fine. You're quite stubborn. Don't blame me for what happens. Beat him to death. Go. Move. Go on. Move it. Ding, we've shot boars, bears, deer, but this is the first time shooting live humans. Ever since I was young, I've always wondered, when can I kill a human? How exciting would that be? With the support of higher-ups, killing Falun Gong members is not a crime. Chief, please begin. I haven't used a gun for a long time. What marksmanship. So what if I killed Falun Gong? The superiors said if they are beaten to death, just call it suicide. Many police have done that. Those are still human lives. You talk about killing people so casually. You are worse than beasts. Are you defending Falun Gong? I'm not defending them. I'm defending justice. After so many years of investigation work in the Commission, we've arrested corrupt officials one after another. But one thing we're clear about is that Falun Gong practitioners are law-abiding, good people. But, you beat them to death for your own selfish desires. This includes a colleague that you see every day. How can you do this? Gao Weizheng, do you plead guilty? I'm not guilty. Let's lay it all out. For all the officials out there, there's not one who is righteous. Who can survive an investigation unscathed? I disagree! I want to appeal! Nonsense! The facts are crystal clear. The evidence is definitive. Just wait for the judgment. Time to eat. Give me that. After a couple days of the tough guy act, you feeling hungry? Want to eat? Yeah? Give it. When I get out You and all of your family will die by my hands. Not one will be left alive. You should've retired a long time ago. I should be the chief. You bastard, why aren't you retired yet? What're you doing! The position should be mine. I should've been the chief a long time ago. We were the ones who reported you. The evidence of arms smuggling came from me. The materials on buying and selling posts in the bureaucracy was from me. Just wait for your death. I'm bringing my wife and child to live overseas. Die. Yes, kill him. Who're they? Section Chief Yang, these are people from my village. They wanted to come visit Gao. Please accommodate. Chief Yang, we just want to see Gao. You look like you're here for revenge. Not at all. We just want to see him, talk a bit, and we'll be gone. This is a little something. Please accept it. Don’t leave any visible marks. Make it quick. I'll stand guard here. Ok, I'll open the door. Gao, you made our family suffer so much. Go to hell. You're all the same. You made our family so miserable. They ran over my wife. We didn't get a single penny. Pay with your life. Return my mother! Go to hell. Strangle him. Stop. He'll die if you continue. Now, now. Strangle him to death. So… You guys made a deal. You'll get more of it coming in the future. You bastards. When I get out, I'll shoot all of you. I'll bury you alive. I'll fry you. I'll make you into minced meat and feed you to the dogs. I can't stay here anymore! Let me out! Give me freedom! Let me out! When I get out, I'll kill you all. Oh my… Chief Diao, you're a heck of a guy. The old Gao never dared to allow performances in the department. He's just a small fry. You can perform here as you please. You have no idea how powerful my backer is. Sir! Biao is here. Biao? How disappointing. Fengxian, step out for a bit. Ok, Chief Diao. Take it back. This doesn't interest me. It's a little something. Chief Diao. These two guns are HK45. Made in Germany. Customized specially for you. As you know, these days, I'm primarily doing business with Russia and the Wagner mercenary group. The business is red hot. If you're interested, if you give the go ahead, we can split 50/50. You're a veteran in this business. You must know my background. Of course. Otherwise why would I be here talking business with you? But, I want a 30/70 split. 70 for me, 30 for you. Get lost if you disagree. Fine. As you say. Good. Why're you taking my possessions? Deputy Chief Chang, I found the gold bars. And two cases of guns. This is a box of cash. And these are all jewelry. Good. Take them all away. Roger. These belong to us. You can't take them. Your belongings are ours now. Gao promoted you to this position. Gao treated you well. How dare you ransack his home? Whoever's in that position is the boss. Gao's time has passed. Get out of the way. Gao, it's all my fault. What's the point of struggling? In the world of bureaucracy, sooner or later this day will come. For this case, just follow my instructions. Ok, Director. Director! Zhang, I was waiting for you. This is the Minghui Weekly you asked for. There's content about the Ministry of Public Safety in there. Great. This is the one thing I haven't read. Keep us in mind the next time you get new materials. Ok. Zhang, I must thank you, otherwise we would still be in the dark. Don't worry, Director. If there's anything new, I'll bring it over right away. Ok. I'll get going. Ok. Falun Gong practitioners are really something. You're probably not aware, the former chief prosecutor… His wife had severe arthritis. She was confined to a wheelchair for decades. They sought medical advice everywhere with no luck. When Zhang joined, she taught her Falun Gong. Then, within a month, she was miraculously cured. If our society had more people like Zhang, how beneficial would it be. Diao. You didn't show up for dinner last night. Today, you have to go hunting with us. Zhang, what kind of guns did you bring from the armory? Yes, Sir! One shotgun and two submachine guns. Look, this is the first time we're wearing camouflage. Yeah. Let us experience what it's like to be the police. Diao, you'll come with us right? Fine. You two will have so much fun today. We'll get the cruisers ready. Turn on the police lights and provide escort. Roger. Diao. Here, I'm the boss. Drive faster. Yes, Chief. The old chief is gone. A new chief is in office. There may be more changes in the future. Again and again. One chief after another. In fact, under the CCP system, it's the same no matter who's in charge. The problem starts at the core. A promising future is only possible by distancing oneself from the CCP.
