"How many years have passed here, inside and outside!"
"Look at people now, who are developing at a rapid pace. Just to catch a few wanted criminals, they can use so many weapons and equipment as bargaining chips!"
"Look at us again, we can't even stop moving forward. It's even less possible for us to put up such a high stake to offer a reward!"
"It cannot be denied that the gap between us and them has become wider and wider!"
"We only have one Jincheng, just such a piece of land! Such a small population! It hasn't changed in so many years!"
"The Creation Alliance has hundreds of cities, large and small. Their territory is hundreds of times larger than ours, their population is hundreds of times larger, and they basically control all natural mineral resources! This is beyond our comparison!"
"So as time goes by, the difference between us will become greater. This is normal! It is not difficult to understand!"
Li Yang obviously takes a longer-term view.
"But if things continue to develop for a long time, sooner or later, one day, people will be able to eradicate us with just a few clicks of their fingers, or they will be able to easily conquer and incorporate us!"
"Not in a short time, they will still face the constraints of the United Front of the Light! You know, the territory of the United Front of the Light is much larger than the Creation Alliance!"
"Oh, yes, there is also the United Front of Light."
Li Yang laughed helplessly.
"Guangming United Front now has a lot of natural mineral resources in its hands! With the financial support of Tianxi Chamber of Commerce, each one is developing rapidly!"
"If we continue like this, we won't need the Creation Alliance anymore, and the United Front of Light can pick out any city and crush us at will!"
Li Yang's face was extremely solemn, and there was no doubt in his words.
"Jincheng must carry out major reforms, otherwise, it will be completely eliminated by this era!"
"If we really want to reform, the currency issue is the most difficult issue before us..."

Baoping District.
Zhou Dunzi came hungry to a ramen restaurant that he often frequented.
I just walked to the door and haven't gone in yet.
Six police patrolmen led the ramen restaurant owner, his wife, and a waiter out and got into the police car on the side.
Ah Ding was the last one to come out of the ramen restaurant and put the seal on the noodles skillfully and quickly.
The moment he turned around, he and Zhou Dunzi looked at each other.
Ah Ding is a close subordinate of Jang Keun Suk. He accidentally escaped death during the Li Xin incident.
Zhou Dunzi knew him well. The two had had a holiday for a long time, and they also knew what A Ding had done at his home not long ago.
"What do you mean?"
"You're on official duty, can't you see it? Besides, what qualifications do you have to ask these questions? Who are you?"
A Ding hated Zhou Dunzi to the core, and naturally he didn't have a good attitude towards Zhou Dunzi.
"Whatever happens to people, you just arrest them and close down the store."
A Ding also didn’t hide anything.
"No, they don't have any eyesight, so they insist on getting involved with you!"
"Are you crazy? I just like his ramen, so you guys take it away?"
"Crazy?" A Ding said "haha", patted Zhou Dunzi's shoulder, and pointed to his wrapped wrist.
A tendon in his wrist was misplaced. It was pinched by Wang Xiao last time. This was indeed a coincidence, and Wang Xiao didn't even know it.
"It's not time to go crazy yet, damn fat man!!"
A Ding returned to the car and drove away.
Zhou Dunzi stood there with mixed emotions and a look of helplessness.
Suddenly, I was no longer hungry and had no appetite.
The phone rang, it was Wang Xiao.
"Brother Ebony."
"Dunzi, where are you? Haven't you eaten? Come home and have dinner together."
Zhou Dunzi looked up at the ramen restaurant in front of him.
"I just finished eating, Brother Wumu, why didn't you tell me earlier."
"We've just finished our work, so come over and have a drink."
"No more drinking. I'm a little tired today and want to go back and have a rest early."
"Are you feeling unwell again?"
"No, no, really not."
"Come on, let's talk if you have something to say."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
Putting down the phone, Zhou Dunzi sat at the door of the ramen restaurant, his face full of worries, and he didn't know what he was thinking about...

The lord's palace of Glory City.
Inside Wancheng's office.
Wan Cheng held a cigar in his mouth and spoke with a smile.
"What happened? You are so anxious to find me."
Ma Xiaotian looked extremely embarrassed and did some ideological work for a while.
"City Lord, I really have no other choice, so I can only come to ask for your help."
Ten thousand cities are as stable as Mount Tai.
"There's no need to be polite between us. If you can help me in any way, just ask."
"I want to find Xiao Yuhao."
"Then, do you want to eradicate him, or what?"
Ma Xiaotian knew that what he did would not escape Wan Cheng's eyes.
"City Lord, what happened in the hospital was not my fault. It was Wang Hao and the others who acted without permission."
"These are not important now. You answer my questions head-on first, find Xiao Yuhao and then."
"I want to talk to him, ask for his forgiveness, and see how we can resolve this matter!"
"I'm willing to pay any price for this! Even if I give him the entire shiny area, it's no problem!"
"Is this the first day you met Xiao Yuhao?"
Wan Cheng's voice was cold.
"You wiped Chen Tao's neck, how could he forgive you?"
"If that Long Yang hadn't risked his life to save others in the hospital, Xiao Yuhao's life would have been lost!"
"We are already in this situation, how can we still talk about it?"
"If you go to talk, Xiao Yuhao will definitely ask Wang Hao and the others to pay for it with their lives."
"Then Wang Hao, Shuan Zi, and Lu Wei are all people who grew up naked with you. Can you let them pay with their lives?"
"On the other hand, Chen Tao wiped Wang Hao's neck, and Xiao Yuhao said that he would give you the shiny area. Would you agree?"
"Can the problem between the two of you now be solved by the territory?"
Ma Xiaotian was extremely confused and completely choked up.
Seeing that Wan Cheng had almost finished smoking a cigar, he frowned and tried to speak.
"City Lord, can you come forward to help mediate the situation?"
"No one can mediate this kind of thing. It's useless for me to come forward. But I can help you guide a clear path."
Ma Xiaotian stood up immediately, his face full of gratitude.
"City Lord, I, I really don't know what to say, thank you, thank you so much!"
"I'm almost worried to death about this!"
Wan Cheng smiled.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, just listen to what I have to say first!"
"Say, City Lord! Again, as long as it can solve the problem, I can do anything! Pay any price! Please City Lord, give me direction!"
"Kill Xiao Yuhao and Long Yang's group at any cost, and eradicate the roots!"
Wan Cheng changed the subject.
"But where they are, you can only find them by yourself. I will never reveal anything."
"After all, there is Wang Xiao in the middle. The matters between you two are your own internal affairs in the Guangming District. I will never interfere!"
Ma Xiaotian's facial features were immediately distorted.
"City Lord, what you said doesn't mean you didn't say anything? I came to you because I hope you can help me find Ahao! Moreover, I don't want Ahao's life at all! I won't take his life! I just want to
Get his forgiveness!"
"are you sure?"
"I am one hundred percent sure and certain! Do I dare to lie to you?"
"In this case, we can only take another path!"
"What way?"
Wan Cheng smiled slightly.
"First kill your mother-in-law, then send Wang Hao and his party away from Glory City, and finally go to Xiao Yuhao to discuss how to solve the problem."
"If Wang Hao and the others are no longer in Glory City, Xiao Yuhao will have nowhere to vent his anger. He will wait for time to pass. After a few years, he will look for opportunities to see if he can bring them back!"
"My mother-in-law?"
Ma Xiaotian was completely stunned.
"City Lord, what does this matter have to do with my mother-in-law?"
"Whether it matters or not, you don't know it in your heart?"
"To be honest, she did have some influence on my decision-making at the beginning, but in the end it's still up to me!"
"I quite understand her! Later, my mother-in-law also realized that she was wrong. She also had a heart-to-heart relationship with me and wanted to make amends to Hao!"
"In this case, you still have to kill my mother-in-law, right? Is her behavior so sinful? Or has she done other unforgivable things that I don't know about?"
Wan Cheng said "hehe".
"To be honest, I haven't paid attention to what your mother-in-law has done, and I don't have time to pay attention to her."
"But I know that this woman is not simple!"
"If you don't get rid of this woman, the problem between you and Hao will never be solved! The only choice is your death and my death!"
Ma Xiaotian was obviously unhappy.
"You just relied on your own feelings and asked me to kill my wife's biological mother. What kind of direction does this mean?"
Wan Cheng spread his hands.
"You need to figure something out."
"And you, because you believe in me, you came to me for help."
"As for me, I try to help you because I am grateful to you."
"But the final decision is still in your hands. What to do is your business. I never said that you must kill your mother-in-law. I have already said what needs to be said."
