This book restores the entire process from the late 1990s to the early 21st century, when Xu Jie, the "third brother" in the Chaozhou area of eastern Guangdong, rose step by step from a street gangster to the overlord of an evil force, and was eventually destroyed in a special campaign to combat organized crime.
In his early years, Xu Jie spent time on the streets of Beicheng, Chaozhou, and was known for being fierce and aggressive, putting more emphasis on justice than profit. In the "Rainbow Cabaret Fire Case" in 1998, he fought off more than 20 opponents with only 7 people, and seriously injured the enemy leader with a knife. He became famous in the first battle. In the following ten years, he gradually integrated the scattered local forces in Chaozhou and established a well-structured and highly disciplined criminal group, with its scope of influence covering the entire territory of Chaozhou and parts of Shantou and Jieyang.
The gang made money crazily through illegal means such as opening underground casinos to make profits, monopolizing sand and gravel transportation and construction projects, smuggling imported luxury cars, and violent debt collection. The amount involved was as high as hundreds of millions of yuan. In order to compete for territory and interests, they organized large-scale fights many times, using machetes, homemade guns and other weapons, causing dozens of casualties. Many people fled away because they dared to be angry and dared not speak out.
With the in-depth development of the nationwide special campaign to eradicate gangs and evil, the police in eastern Guangdong established the "3.15" Task force, which lasted a year and a half and traveled to more than ten provinces and cities across the country, eventually wiping out Xu Jie's criminal group.
Using a documentary style, this book deeply explores the social soil where the evil forces breed and spread, shows the thrilling battle of wits and courage between the public security organs and the evil forces, and demonstrates the country's firm determination to eradicate crime and evil and maintain social fairness and justice.
Very exciting, the story is told smoothly
