Cheng 'No need, I've talked to Gru, and he said all the money, except taxes, doesn't have to be paid. He'll take care of the rest.'
That's the power of having worked the Saint Rodu territory for twenty years; Gru has his own people in many different departments.
Once he marks his turf, everyone else shows him respect.
Especially since Gru started riding on Niu Sen's coattails, that feeling of doing whatever he wants in Saint Rodu only got stronger.
That's also why top undercover cops don't want to get promoted too high.
In his current position, he has enough power, a big enough backer, and fierce enough subordinates. He can also avoid many responsibilities.
If he were any higher, it wouldn't be so easy to just make a call and skip out on various fees.
After all, he has a reputation to uphold.
The black-haired wealthy woman doesn't understand all these twists and turns; her actions are focused on a higher dimension than Cheng Daqi's.
