City of Sin (Third Section Mutual Scheming)
"Do you know who you're going up against?" asked Ruan Yingxiu.
Song Huan said with a face of not caring: "It's nothing but a squad of constabulary and a dozen or so hired soldiers. The people I found before were all useless, and there weren't enough of them. This time, I plan to find at least a thousand people. With your status, how can you still not gather even a hundred people? As long as we cooperate with a few more people, we can trample them to death."
"You know why I've never socialized with you? You're only good at flirting with women, but what else can you do? Do you even know the name of the garrison commander or his abilities? Who are the people under him, and what's the background of professional security companies? They wouldn't even break a sweat taking us down, let alone dealing with you. You have no idea who you're up against - local thugs or gangs, they're all just good-for-nothings trying to make a living by any means necessary. There aren't many individuals who stand out, and yet you want to gather dozens of people? Even if you gathered thousands, in their eyes, we'd just be targets in a shooting gallery. You don't even know what you're up against, but you still want to take them on - it's laughable. And then you'll drag others down with you and let them take us all down.
Ruan Yingxiu couldn't take his nonsense anymore, so she took out a scrapbook and slammed it onto the table. "Take a look at this before you continue spouting rubbish."
Song Huan took it over and opened it to take a look, all of which were materials from a top-notch security company, including recruitment ads and business ads, as well as photos taken by journalists when they protected important figures. He didn't understand why this girl was showing him these things. He didn't recognize anyone in the newspaper. "What are these?"
"You don't know the extent of their abilities, they used to protect some small country's presidents, in many countries with frequent coups, they protected people who were easily assassinated, and even directly participated in civil wars. The governments that have connections with them are numerous, this is their foundation. Wanting to completely eliminate them isn't impossible, unless you escort the rebels of these countries to the capital, only then will they lose their backing. You want to kill some people who make a living by fighting? That's not just a daydream, have you ever held a gun and killed someone? Have you seen the news about massacres? Do you know that those things are related to them? If you want to get rid of them, don't drag me into this. You can find whoever you want, but if you die, I'll collect your body out of respect for our family's relationship." Ruan Yingxiu spoke clearly, and only then did Song Huan realize that the dozen or so people in front of him were not easy to deal with.
"Then don't be ridiculous, tell me a suitable way, can't we just bribe them with money?" Song Huan had only two tricks up his sleeve, fighting and bribery. Ruan Yingxiu said: "Even if you sell all your family's belongings, sell the company, and hand over all the money, they may not be willing to accept it. Their appetite is not for the money in our hands. I gave them a blank check, but they didn't want it."
"Wait a minute, who is he? Have you been in contact with them?"
"If I could afford to buy you, I would have brought my father back long ago. They don't care about your soft or hard tactics, what else can you do? Are you going to fight them? Do you know how much it costs to hire a professional mercenary? If you tell the mercenaries to go kill the people from the security company, they'll probably beat you to death on the spot and demand money from you with your head in their hands. These are the kind of people they are, very few people dare to offend them. Just investigating what I told you has already cost a lot of money, if you want me to share some of the information with you, you have to split the cost with me. What do you think?" Ruan Yingxiu felt that her abilities were limited and didn't take the initiative to show off her skills.
"Housekeeper, go to the safe and get the money, bring all the cash." Song Huan also let go, Ruan Yingxiu didn't wait for the housekeeper to get the money, she took out a few photos, "Actually, there are only a few core people to deal with, Lieutenant Yu Fei, the commander of the military police, his girlfriend Wen Qian, Military Police Sergeant Wen Yong, and Wu Junwen, the president of the security company. Wen Yong and Wu Junwen are good brothers, if you touch one person, it's equivalent to declaring war on their forces. Unless you go to outer space and don't come back, they will wipe out your whole family. Wen Qian is a police officer, I estimate Yu Fei will secretly protect her. The military sergeant is the president's daughter, do you want to mess with her? She's not important whether she lives or dies. What if the president declares a state of emergency and the army has the right to directly capture and execute suspects? The army can even bomb your house. How are you going to deal with these people? If you don't believe me, I can try it out."
"It's not a bad life, is it?" Yayun stood outside a secret casino with an M4 carbine rifle, several people on the ground had been knocked out by tranquilizer darts and couldn't send any signals to those inside. Yayun kicked open the door with one foot and shouted loudly: "Everyone put your hands up, don't move, get down on the ground with your hands behind your head!" Then she pulled the trigger, the M4 carbine rifle swept half a clip of bullets, shattering a lamp on the ceiling into powder. Glass shards quickly scattered all over the room.
Seeing the constabulary really use live ammunition, all sorts of people who were not afraid of police in peacetime started to get scared. Before they could make safety actions, the constables rushed up and kicked down several disobedient people. The gun butts quickly smashed onto their bodies. "Those with weapons kneel on the ground, hands embracing heads. If you dare move, I'll smash your brains." Wen Yong walked in holding an M9F pistol. With his left hand, he took a revolver from a casino guard's body and used the grip to heavily hit the guard's head. The person immediately fell to the ground, with quite a lot of fresh blood flowing out of the wound on their head. Seeing the blood, people here became even more obedient.
Yahuan easily collected the money in the casino as evidence and used a shotgun to blast open all the locked doors, knowing that some offices were financial rooms where more money was stored than outside. During meals, Wen Yong told her that the higher the betting amount, the heavier the sentence would be, and the longer the suspect would be imprisoned, the fewer people there would be who could take revenge on her.
The military police stormed and swept away more than a dozen small gambling dens, Yu Fei was in the barracks sorting out interrogation records. Wen Qian found that he was always too busy to meet with her, so she came to the barracks to find Yu Fei herself. Yu Fei chatted with her while still doing his own work, and Wen Qian asked: "When can you finish your work?"
"I'd feel safer if I just rounded up the whole city, these thieves aren't your average thieves, they're not easy to deal with. Recently, someone tried to bribe me, gave me a blank check and told me to fill in the amount myself. Can you imagine how much wealth they've accumulated? With $500,000, they can hire a top-notch hitman to take me out. I didn't accept their money, so now they're not happy and will try to find ways to silence me. I think you're also in danger, I've been thinking, why don't I just take responsibility for your safety? No matter what happens between us in the future, during this time we've spent together, I'll hire a bodyguard for you, someone to protect you. If you get kidnapped, they can use that as leverage against me. I'm worried about your safety, the training you've received is only useful when you're prepared, like if you're going to catch thieves, you prepare beforehand. But if you're constantly on guard against being kidnapped or assassinated, you'll be exhausted all the time. Let me hire someone to protect you, I'll pay for it, our relationship is enough to make some people take risks." Yu Fei said, looking at her.
Wen Qian sighed and said: "I was prepared to find your boyfriend, a long time ago when I wasn't even a police officer yet, someone told me that if you want to catch all the thieves, you'll end up opposing them all, which is dangerous for yourself. Even the police don't catch many small-time thieves, many big cases rely on their tips. If you crack down too hard, they will retaliate. They've been causing trouble in this city for a long time, it's not something that can be thoroughly solved with temporary high-pressure tactics."
"I've known since I was young that evil cannot suppress justice, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to verify it. Either they'll get rid of me and continue to be lawless, or I'll take them down with one net. I'll have a way." Yu Fei spoke as he sent text messages to several TV station reporters on his phone, hoping that some reporter would interview him. He wanted to use the reporters to spread some news and then lure out his enemies to take them down all at once. Since Xu Huaqing always used illegal means for assassination, he wanted to change methods this time.
Before long, many reporters came to the gate of the military camp with camera crews. Yu Fei had called the security guards to allow the reporters to stay outside the gate for an interview. Wen Qian heard him call the security guard and didn't understand why the reporter wanted to interview him. "What do you want to know from the reporter?"
"I think you want to know what I'm going to reveal more than they do, let's go out and take a look." Yu Fei changed into his usual combat uniform and walked out of the military camp. After all the reporters' cameras were focused on him, he began to speak. "Famous reporters, I don't think you need to ask questions, I'll tell you the truth directly."
Yu Fei took out two photos for the reporters to see. "Since I became the commander of the military police, I discovered that these two individuals are related to all major criminal cases in this area. All murder cases have their involvement, including the deaths of hundreds of detained suspects. These two suspects, who have committed serious crimes, are willing to be witnesses and testify against all local gangs. They each have over 20 years of experience in the underworld and know the local crime syndicates very well. They hope that the military police will bring all criminals to justice. They told me everything they knew, and I am applying for thousands of arrest warrants. After the judges approve them, we will arrest all suspects within a day, focusing on those suspected of murder, robbery, drug trafficking, gambling, and forced prostitution. Those who have been involved in smuggling and money laundering for years are also included in the arrests. Additionally, we will put all local drug addicts into rehabilitation centers. The code name for this operation is 'Restore Hope', aiming to end all criminal activities in this area. Justice will return to society, and the era of professional crime is over. Those who try to escape or resist will be severely punished, their families and friends will face charges of harboring a fugitive, and may be sentenced to 15 years in prison, with all ill-gotten gains confiscated. Don't think that just because you used your ill-gotten gains to buy a house for your parents, we won't find out. If you don't want to be thoroughly investigated, surrender immediately, or else you'll implicate your wives and children and leave them homeless."
