Chapter 318: Chapter 318
With Tan Lang’s caution, it’s rare for so many people to appear simultaneously. If the police could seize this opportunity to take action and capture them in one swoop, these low-level minions would no longer be a problem.
With only Li Xiaotian remaining, it would reduce their workload significantly.
However, simultaneously, Li Xiaotian would become extremely vigilant, never trusting anyone again, and the data he has would become even more tightly secured, and the routes he knows would likely never be leaked even a bit.
One is an extensive long-term plan, the other is the current stability within reach. Fang Zhou wavered with his phone in hand, feeling an intense internal struggle.
Soon, however, he didn’t have time for such complex thinking because Tan Lang gave him direct instructions.
"The old client from Yanyun Province next door is coming over tonight. They want to open more lines, and their order volume will increase. You’re hosting tonight."
Fang Zhou immediately became alert—didn’t Yanyun Province just go through a severe crackdown the year before? Now they dare to take the risk to open more routes again!
More routes mean expanding more manpower, which also means gathering more money, all of which is obtained through various means that harm ordinary people.
He quickly pulled himself together, deciding not to act rashly tonight, but to first draw out these long lines one by one!
As for tonight’s meeting, if there’s still no opportunity for them to do business outside, it surely won’t be long before it happens again.
Fighting alone, he could only try to calm his emotions as much as possible and check his disguise again.
Fang Zhou considers many and broad matters, thinking from the perspective of the big picture.
But for Chu Fa Da, even revenge needs to be considered from morning to night, let alone encountering such scum.
No need to say more, they’ll see how it goes tonight, best to remember everyone, and then find an appropriate opportunity to let her colleagues practice too.
Now the brothers’ business is sluggish, trembling with fear each day of being caught, and they’ve long been growing anxious.
At this time, Tan Lang, the leader within the organization, made such a decision, so naturally, everyone responded without question.
At 11:00 PM, in this neighborhood delayed by holdout residents, with two buildings yet to be demolished, the abandoned senior center was brightly lit.
Outside was a construction site surrounding the building, with only two yellow dogs guarding the gate, and no other people around.
Tan Lang quietly waited inside the room while the members were more punctual than him and had mostly arrived.
At least, it matched the people Chu River had in hand.
He asked in a low voice, while the old light bulb flickered, making the round scar on his cheek even more terrifying.
A few voices murmured in response below.
Tan Lang nodded: "You’ve all seen the recent situation, what are your thoughts?"
Stay calm and wait until this wave of trouble passes.
Nowadays, inspections are increasingly strict, and this mentality is rooted in everyone. Only Chen Minli had previously probed in the police station, and now he had his own thoughts.
"Brother Wolf, I don’t think we need to wait around for this."
"For so many years, each year the inspections get tighter, and our lives are getting less comfortable each year. Waiting any longer and the brothers’ spirits will be worn down; how will we make money then?"
Tan Lang raised an eyebrow at him: "So, what are your thoughts?"
His voice was deep, yet his eyes showed anticipation, encouraging Chen Minli, who immediately voiced the conclusion he had been contemplating for this period—
"Everyone knows, the reason things are so tight lately is because a newcomer, a girl, joined their anti-drug department! She’s got a pretty face, a great figure, and she’s been catching people right in the middle of the crowd, and she hasn’t missed once!"
Everyone knew this. There were even pictures online, so what then? Even knowing who she is, what can be done?
Chen Minli put on a simple and honest face, yet his eyes were exceedingly vicious:
"If you ask me, this little girl has no real skills; it’s purely because the officials are promoting her—like the Navy promotes, the police promote, even CCTV promotes, boosting young reporters and hosts... If you ask me, the achievements in that girl’s hand were all pre-arranged; they’re aiming to build her into a hero for positive public relations!"
Tan Lang’s eyes gradually became sharp.
In reality, Chu River’s heart was rather pleased—brilliant.
How come she hadn’t thought of this strategy for bureau publicity before!
