The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4706

Fei Jianzhong smiled with a hint of resignation and explained, “In organizations like this, they are very good at protecting themselves from risks. It’s like having multiple fire doors. If one door is blocked, they can rework their operations on the outside. If that doesn’t work, they just close off another area until the threat is contained. Because of this, they’ve only lost a few outer members. The core members remain safe and have actually gained a lot of wealth and resources, making them even stronger.”

Charlie Wade nodded and replied coldly, “So, the core members of this organization have plenty of scapegoats. When something goes wrong, they just need to use a few people to take the blame.”

“Exactly,” Fei Jianzhong confirmed. “This shows a flaw in the legal system. As long as they can follow the legal process and keep their story consistent, they can close cases easily. Like your mother-in-law’s situation—if you report it to the police, they might catch a few people, and those scapegoats will take all the blame.”

He continued, “They’ve also prepared a complete set of arguments and evidence to convince the police and judges that their version of events is true. You can choose to believe it or not.”

“In this situation, even if you suspect they have hidden agendas, it becomes tough to continue the investigation. Once the guilty parties are in prison and the heat dies down, the masterminds will just replace them with new people to keep the business running.”

Charlie frowned and asked, “Is the efficiency of the…”

Fei Jianzhong smiled wryly and said, “If America really wanted to fight crime, they could do it effectively. But the truth is, Americans prefer to coexist rather than confront issues directly.”

After a moment, he continued, “In this country, guns are easily accessible, and things that are illegal in other places can be bought and sold here. Even prisons are privately run. The police are funded by taxpayers, and people accept the high costs of policing because the crime rate is so high. There are many ethnic minorities, which leads to a lot of chaos.”

He explained, “The large gap between the rich and poor creates instability. With so many guns available and a significant number of immigrants and illegal immigrants, it becomes easier for criminals to commit crimes and succeed at them. The larger the environment, the more likely some ethnic minorities may turn to crime to survive. This is how gangs form in America. Unless we address these root causes, the gang problem will never be resolved.”

Fei Jianzhong added, “In a chaotic environment, the middle class feels the need for police protection for their safety and property. They are willing to pay higher taxes to support the police because of this. However, if the crime rate drops, the first thought of the middle class is: ‘If security is so good, why do we need to keep paying so much for the police?’”

“Why do we need so many police officers?” Fei Jianzhong asked. “These officers are paid with my tax money. If we could save that money, we could repair the roads better and improve healthcare. We could even lower taxes, which would help families earn more.”

He smiled and added, “In this country, guns and gangs are just part of the landscape. They won’t go away.”

Charlie Wade listened carefully and nodded. He didn’t know much about the United States, but Fei Jianzhong’s words helped him understand the situation better.

Charlie then said, “If the police aren’t doing anything, then I’ll take action myself. I don’t care how many gangs there are, but I won’t stand by while one that harms our people operates. I’ll make sure they’re stopped.”
