If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?

The next morning, after eating the breakfast prepared by Han Youxi, Li Chenghuan spoke to her for a few minutes, telling her that the female bodyguard he had arranged would be reporting to her in the next two days. After that, he left home and got into Zheng Zhishu's car to go to the prosecutor's office.

Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, Criminal Division.

Lee Seung-hwan had barely sat down in his office when a police officer claiming to be the deputy head of the Geumcheon Major Crimes Unit in Gyeonggi Province came to him to apply for an arrest warrant.

South Korean police have law enforcement powers, but not arrest powers.

To catch bad guys, they have to report to the prosecutor in advance and apply for an arrest warrant; otherwise, they can only watch helplessly as criminals go unpunished.

Moreover, without evidence, the suspect can only be detained for a maximum of 48 hours before being released.

Therefore, being a police officer in South Korea is a very frustrating experience.

Even more frustrated than them are the non-professional police officers in the neighboring country of Japan, who can't even get a police car and have to commute to get off work by bicycle every day, treated like servants.

"Come in."

Lee Seung-hwan called out towards the door.

The police officer who had been called then pushed open the door and entered his office.

He was extremely broad and robust, seemingly of Mongolian descent. He walked a few steps to Li Chenghuan, bowed slightly, and said in a rough voice, "Hello, Chief Li, I've come to request an arrest warrant from you."

Lee Seung-hwan put down the various case files that had piled up over the years, looked up at the policeman, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Ma Dong-seok?"

This man looked almost exactly like the last South Korean man he had seen in his previous life, the guy known as God Ma Dong-seok [something].

The only person in the world who looks exactly like Ma Dong-seok and is also a police officer is probably Ma Seok-do from the crime action drama "The Outlaws".

To put it simply, The Outlaws tells the story of Zhang Qian, a gangster from China, who, along with two henchmen, slaughters local gang members in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, leaving them beheading and screaming in agony. He even humiliates them and demands toilet paper from them. Finally, after a chase and several failed attempts by Ma Seok-do, the only not-so-incompetent cop among South Korean incompetent police officers, Zhang Qian is brought to justice.

Upon hearing this, the police officer, whom Lee Seung-hwan referred to as Ma Dong-seok, paused for a moment before cautiously saying, "Prosecutor Lee, how do you know my childhood name? I was indeed called Ma Dong-seok before I was ten years old, but now I am called Ma Seok-do."

It was indeed Ma Xidao.

Lee Seung-hwan nodded: "Who is Inspector Ma going to arrest? Has the evidence against this person been collected?"

The police hierarchy in South Korea is different from that in China.

From lowest to highest rank: Patrolman, Sergeant, Inspector, Guard, Superintendent, Chief Inspector, Chief Police Officer, Police Officer, Police Supervisor, Chief Police Officer, Chief Police Officer, Chief Police Officer, Chief Police Officer.

Among them, patrol sergeants and police inspectors are not part of the cadre ranks; they are the lowest-ranking police officers. Guards are the lowest-ranking cadre police officers.

Police superintendents primarily serve as heads of police stations or heads of major criminal cases units.

As for those who came after, there's no need to know. They're not people who could rise to such positions. Ma Sik-tao is basically at the top of the ordinary police force.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xidao presented his investigation report with both hands, saying, "Chief Lee, a brazen human smuggling gang has appeared near Geumcheon in Gyeonggi Province. The leader is named Zhang Qian, and he comes from Harbin, China."

"This man is extremely vicious. According to the intelligence we obtained, he was originally a henchman of a gang leader in China. After his boss was taken down by the Chinese police and imprisoned, he was so frightened that he fled overnight and smuggled himself to South Korea."

"Unexpectedly, this bastard came to our country and went back to his old ways, leading a few accomplices to engage in loan sharking, extortion, and other heinous crimes."

"Especially recently, they have become even more rampant. Not only did they kill several local gang leaders in broad daylight, but they also participated in several gang wars, ambitiously seeking to unify the gangs in Gyeonggi Province."

"Not only that, they've also extended their reach to other regions, provoking some of South Korea's largest criminal groups, such as the Seven Star Gang. We've received word that Zhang Qian is planning to take advantage of the Seven Star Gang's internal strife to annex it. If we don't stop them, this bastard from China could have a very serious impact on the security of Seoul!"

"Fortunately, after several days of searching and tracking, we have pinpointed the person's exact location and intend to launch an arrest operation immediately. Therefore, we are applying to you in advance for an arrest warrant..."

After listening to Ma Xidao's account, Li Chenghuan raised an eyebrow. He knew that Zhang Qian was extremely arrogant and ruthless in the drama.

I just didn't expect it to be far more troublesome than I imagined.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have seen him once at Shi Dongchu's funeral, but at that time Li Chenghuan didn't take these big and small gang leaders who came to the funeral seriously at all.

As a result, they disappeared for a while.

Zhang Qian is expanding and strengthening his business, preparing to create something brilliant.

It's one thing for him to stir up trouble in Gyeonggi Province, but now he's even targeting the Seven Star Gang.

Should he say Zhang Qian was too ruthless, or that these South Korean police officers were too useless? Otherwise, how come it's always the ruthless people from China who cause trouble on their home turf and leave them helpless?

From Jin Jiunan to Mian Zhenghe, the Yanbian F4, Ding Qing, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Qian... all of these people are of Chinese descent.

Although these Koreans like to smear China all day long, it also proves that they are truly useless.

Not only is the army useless, but the police are also useless. A henchman of a Chinese gang leader can become a kingpin and a tyrant. A few people can rout their local gang and cause countless deaths and injuries.

[Local gangs: Damn it, how can you blame us for being useless? It's clearly these out-of-town gangs who are incredibly rude!]

However, for Li Chenghuan, the Seven Star Gang was a crucial part of his plan.

The entertainment company they controlled provided women to powerful and influential figures year-round. This was their trump card for gathering information on these figures' weaknesses and secrets, and they absolutely wouldn't allow anyone else to interfere.

Since Zhang Qian is so ruthless, it shows that he is indeed capable, but his vision is too short-sighted. The gangster model he uses is outdated.

Nowadays, the real big gangs are all about wearing suits and ties, being respectable businessmen, and fighting all day long. That's something only petty thugs do.

Zhang Qian thought that in South Korea, the environment was still one where whoever had the strongest fist and was the best fighter could rise to the top.

Little did they know that being able to fight was utterly useless.

In the world of business, influence and connections matter.

Such a rootless duckweed without any background will eventually be extinguished by the state. Even if the South Korean police are incompetent, they can still produce a few capable people like Ma Seok-do.

[However, it seems a bit wasteful for Ma Xidao to just capture Zhang Qian and then kill him.]

Lee Seung-hwan rubbed his chin.

Zhang Qian is ruthless, skilled, and intelligent, though not many of those qualities exist.

This would be a good addition to his assassin squad, where he could work alongside the Yanbian F4 brothers to do the dirty work, or he could join the Seven Star Gang to supervise An Shangjiu and help him better control the gang.

In short, it would be a great pity to kill him.

Of course, Lee Seung-hwan wouldn't tell Ma Seok-do about his plans.

Instead, he nodded and said, "Inspector Ma, please wait for me a moment. I need to get the judge to sign the arrest warrant."

Although prosecutors can issue arrest warrants, they are subject to oversight by the court. Only when the police apply, the prosecutor issues the warrant, and the court signs it, can the warrant truly have legal effect.

Although Ma Xidao was somewhat anxious, he could only wait patiently.

He knew all too well how cunning and clever Zhang Qian was, and that all the previous arrest operations had ended in failure. This time, he and his colleagues devised a detailed and meticulous arrest plan, determined to succeed!

On his way to the court to get a judge's signature, Lee Seung-hwan unexpectedly encountered Seo Min-young, who was also looking for a judge...
