Three Years Undercover, and I Took the Mob into the Fortune 500

“Director, close the net now! I can't hold on much longer!”

In 2002, undercover agent Gu Cheng anxiously called in for backup.

The director was deeply worried, certain he was trapped in danger and suffering terribly.

But no one could have imagined that after the Old Dragon Head died, everyone would push Gu Cheng into the position of leader.

A financial mogul who once dominated Wall Street in his previous life, Gu Cheng was now forced to lead a gang in its bloody brawls. At his wits' end, he decided to overhaul the entire organization so he could end his undercover assignment as soon as possible.

He abolished the old ways of street fighting and collecting protection money, and imposed strict new rules. The gangsters shed their menacing ways and spent their days studying law and finance, learning how to run a business. When they went out to negotiate deals, they brought proposals, not knives.

Using his top-tier financial skills, Gu Cheng consolidated resources and expanded into industries of every kind, completely transforming the underworld into a legitimate enterprise. Within just a few years, the once-feared gang rose rapidly, spanning investment, manufacturing, the internet, and more, until it became a powerful business conglomerate worth hundreds of billions.

By the time the police had finished preparing to close the net, Gu Cheng already controlled a vast business empire. His companies operated in full compliance with the law and held leading positions in their industries.

Faced with Gu Cheng, who was basking in glory and receiving one major business honor after another, the officers sent to arrest him fell silent. The plan to close the net had become impossible to carry out.
