A piece of news broadcast on the morning news of Hai Duong City Life Channel caused outrage throughout Hai Duong City.
"I just received news from the city police station that our city's police will launch a three-month "Operation Sword" starting today, mainly targeting the increasingly rampant illegal and disciplinary activities in entertainment venues in Fangzi District. The police will conduct new inspections on all entertainment venues in Fangzi District.
A round of strict control..."
Fangzi District is what people often call slums.
Operation Bright Sword, to put it bluntly, is to clean up all entertainment venues in Fangzi District.
What we are proactively cracking down on are pornography, gambling, drugs and other illegal and disciplinary matters.
Many upright and kind-hearted people applaud the government's action. It is the common wish of the people to promote righteousness and harmony and to severely crack down on illegal and criminal elements.
Unfortunately, not everyone thinks this way.
Lu Tianlong learned the news while driving Su Lingyue to work.
Li Wenying called him. The guy was so anxious that he trembled when he spoke. It was difficult to tell him the whole thing.
"Master Lu, this is definitely not as simple as cracking down on pornography and illegal activities. I'm sure this is definitely the work of the Black Tiger Gang!"
"The city is so big, why do they have to attack our slums first? It's obvious. We took down the Black Tiger Gang, and that bastard Wang Jinghu used this dirty trick to deal with us!"
"Master Lu, what should we do now? If we are tortured by them for three months, we may all starve to death!"
Li Wenying on the other side of the phone was a little at a loss.
This is where the power of the state machine lies. Let alone the slums, let alone the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang, no matter how powerful they are, super gangs that are countless times more powerful than them, if they are targeted by the state machine, they will be crushed.
It is destroyed in a matter of minutes.
"Yeah! It's no big deal. I'll contact you later!"
Looking at Su Lingyue in the rearview mirror, Lu Tianlong said a few words briefly and then hung up the phone.
"Do you know that talking on the phone while driving is very dangerous?" Su Lingyue, who was sitting in the back seat, said with some dissatisfaction.
"I know, pay attention in the future! If anyone dares to call me while I'm driving again, I will break his three legs!" Lu Tianlong said with a smile.
Su Lingyue was truly speechless. Who has ever seen such an incoherent driver?
"By the way, the launch dinner of the Haiyang City Charity Foundation for the Elderly will be held tomorrow night. The location will be at the Xiangshan Club. At that time, all the famous people in Haiyang City will attend. At the banquet, I will announce that you are a charity
The first president of the foundation!”
"clear!"
"Also, once you take this position, even if you are a well-known figure in Haiyang City, everything you say and do from now on will represent the Phoenix Group and the image of the charity foundation. You must be careful not to give anything to the Phoenix Group and the charity.
Foundation smear!”
Su Lingyue warned with some worry.
"Don't worry, do you think I am such an unreliable person? When did you become so verbose?" Lu Tianlong said with a smile.
"Humph! If you can make people feel at ease, it won't be until the sun comes out from the west!" Su Lingyue rolled her eyes at him and said.
Lu Tianlong was happy and said: "If you are so worried about me, why would you leave the charity fund to me? Why don't you just take it back!"
Su Lingyue was so angry that she really wanted to strangle this bastard to death.
I don’t know how many people are crying and shouting that they want to sit in this seat, but this guy is better, let him sit, but he still dislikes it.
Do you really think that you are a saint with no desires or desires?
After sending Su Lingyue to the company, Lu Tianlong drove to the Eagle Gang headquarters.
This time, Lu Tianlong's expression was also a little serious.
The government's Operation Bright Sword, which specifically targeted the slums, was a disaster for the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang!
You know, in the slums, people living in the slums are poor people from all walks of life. They don’t have high consumption, and all walks of life are in recession.
Most of the income of the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang comes from the security fees of the entertainment venues they control.
To put it bluntly, it’s protection money.
The Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang guard their venues, and these venues pay some fees every month.
The entertainment venues were hit, and one can imagine the losses suffered by the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang.
"Master Lu, you are finally here. This time we are really going to be doomed!"
Seeing Lu Tianlong walk into the hall, Li Wenying came up to him with a sad and angry look.
Lu Tianlong glanced at him, frowned and said: "You are also the leader of a gang, and you panic when something happens. What do you want your brothers to do?"
"But Master Lu... Master Lu taught you a lesson!"
Li Wenying was a little ashamed, wiped his face, and slowly regained his composure.
He welcomed Lu Tianlong into the hall, where Wen Qingqing and others had been waiting inside.
"Mr. Lu, we guess that this matter is caused by the Black Tiger Gang. Otherwise, no one would care about this damn place like the slums!"
"And I specially sent someone to inquire, and there is news that it is because..."
Speaking of this, Li Wenying turned his head and glanced at Bai Mudan standing next to him.
This girl slept in the guest room at the headquarters last night and never went back.
Today, the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang held an emergency meeting. She was originally not eligible to participate, but because of Lu Tianlong, everyone was too embarrassed to kick her out.
"You mean, Bai Mudan's departure made Wang Jinghu furious, so he resorted to such methods?" Lu Tianlong nodded.
It is possible, after all, the betrayal of his helmsman is definitely a very embarrassing thing for Wang Jinghu of the Black Tiger Gang.
"This is the news I got, I don't know if it is accurate or not!" Li Wenying said.
Lu Tianlong thought for a while and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Let me ask you, is there anyone touching things that shouldn't be touched in the slums now?"
"Absolutely not!"
Li Wenying hurriedly said: "From the day I met you, I have issued an order that drugs are absolutely not allowed in any place, and I have also closed all the original casinos and changed them to other legitimate industries."
"It's just..." Li Wenying said helplessly: "Women selling meat is unavoidable. After all, there are foreign girls in the slums who rely on this to make a living! Moreover, the trajectory of the activities is uncertain, and we have no way to interfere with the management."
This is true.
Although the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang have controlled all the territory in the slums, they can stop others from trading in the venue, but there is really nothing they can do when they encounter those who go to the venue to catch money, buy houses, and then collect money.
..
"Now we just need to control our own situation. As long as they don't catch the current situation, they can't do anything to us!" Wen Qingqing said next to him.
Lu Tianlong smiled, this girl was too naive.
It seems that I have never seen anything awesome before.
"Sister Wen, you are wrong! There is a saying that there is no excuse for incriminating others. If they want to cause trouble for you, they will find ways to do it! If nothing else, you said that there are no illegal things in your place, but if
They check it every day, what will be the result?"
"People who go to bars and other places to have a good time, no one wants to be pressed against the wall and check their identity information several times every day with their ID cards, right? So as long as they check every day, even if they can't find anything,
, the venue will be closed in less than three days!”
After Lu Tianlong said this, everyone realized that the matter was far more serious than they imagined!
Yes, you were dancing happily on the stage, and suddenly a group of policemen rushed into you and made you squat on the ground with your head in your hands.
Who can bear to squat like this once a day?
"Then what should we do now?" Li Wenying asked.
"There is no other way, we can only act according to the situation! Go back and inform the brothers, keep your spirits up, and be sure not to be caught!"
If you want to accuse someone, why bother?
What Lu Tianlong said was quickly fulfilled.
At ten o'clock that night, the police raided more than a dozen entertainment venues in the slums.
After checking hundreds of people, more than 20 guests did not carry their ID cards with them and were taken to the police station for interrogation.
Also, in a bar, the police caught four guys smoking white noodles in a box on the spot.
The four guys were handcuffed and the bar was closed for rectification.
What's more serious is that in another restaurant, several brothers from the Eagle Gang clashed with the police who went to investigate. They were also arrested on the spot for assaulting the police.
The news spread throughout Haiyang overnight, and the law enforcement actions in the slums were broadcast again and again on TV stations, attracting the attention of countless people.
"Damn, it must be the work of these bastards from the Black Tiger Gang. Those four guys who sucked white noodles must have been deliberately arranged by them!"
At the headquarters of the Eagle Gang, Li Wenying jumped to his feet angrily and cursed.
They fight with people and strength, but they are not afraid of the Black Tiger Gang. The worst they can do is start all over again.
However, the other side is now using such insidious methods, leaving the Eagle Gang and the Green Snake Gang completely helpless.
They can only hold it in their hearts, and they can't find anyone to vent their anger on!
"Whether it's the Black Tiger Gang or not, they did go too far this time!" Lu Tianlong squinted his eyes and said calmly.
"Master Lu, otherwise we will fight with them!" Li Wenying gritted his teeth.
"Yes, let's fight with them! If we continue to be tortured by them, we will starve to death sooner or later!"
"That's right! Now we are cleaning up our place. Maybe one day we will be attacked. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the death with the Black Tiger Gang!"
Many brothers behind him agreed.
"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Lu Tianlong glanced at them and said: "If this matter is really planned by the Black Tiger Gang, even if you want to fight with him, will he fight with you? If you go out in a big way, you can only give people clues.
"
"China has zero tolerance for the existence of gangs, but you jumped out and asked others to deal with it!"
"Then what should we do? We can't let them play to death!" Li Wenying said in frustration.
"Let's investigate the matter clearly first! This matter may not have been done by people from the Black Tiger Gang!" Lu Tianlong thought for a while and said.
"Boss, it's not good, boss!"
While everyone was talking, a brother rushed in from outside and said, "Master Lu, Master Ying, something bad is going on. We just got the news. The police are here again. This time they are going to investigate our Jiuchongtian Club! There are dozens of them.
People are so vast!"
"Nine Heavens? That's a cash cow for us! Mr. Lu, what should we do now?" Li Wenying asked anxiously.
Lu Tianlong raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that the other party was definitely serious about it this time.
