Luming Hall.
"He didn't see anyone at all?"
Naito, who was smoking a pipe, heard his subordinate's report and raised his eyes in surprise.
The subordinate nodded. "Yes, it seems that he doesn't care about those things at all."
"Huai Shi, that guy, has already inflated to such an extent? After all, he's a young man. He doesn't even bother to put on a show. Very well, if the heavens want him to die, they must make him crazy … He's addicted to the expansion of power and has no eyes for anyone else. It's not far from the time when the people's hearts are lost. "
Naito knocked on the pipe and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Tell William and Kaneda that we want to see his further results."
He said, "The sooner the better."
"Yes!"
The subordinate nodded and turned to leave.
In the darkness, only Naito quietly stared at the flickering flame in the pipe.
The faint sparks illuminated the pair of cold eyes.
.
.
The atmosphere on the street seemed to have changed.
It was getting more and more impetuous.
No matter how slow the residents were, they now saw more and more contradictions and conflicts on the street. Gedo in suits, which were rarely seen in the past, appeared in the streets and alleys, and there were more and more people causing trouble.
There were also many familiar faces among the unfamiliar faces.
There were flyers distributed by the Alliance of Freedom everywhere. It was said that many stores were also smashed. The reason was that they looked down on the foreign mixed race, or wage discrimination, and some simply suspected that the doctor had prescribed them fake medicine.
There were also more and more fights.
There were also places that had started a strike.
The elderly closed the door and told their children not to run around. In the middle of the night, they heard abnormal movements. The men who had just returned from the construction site would wake up and press the dusty weapons under the bed. They were worried.
Many people had already reported it to the company or the group, but the higher-ups were still calm. They only ordered that everything was as usual and then strengthened the defense.
It made people feel a little uncertain.
It was said that the production was not very smooth. Several vehicles transporting the medicine had accidents. There were also some supply contracts that had been signed that were reneged on.
It was said that the pollution was excessive and violated the Environmental Protection Act. They had to be investigated by the Environmental Association or something.
Everyone could feel that the atmosphere of uneasiness was quietly spreading in Danbo.
It wasn't until four days later that a flame rose up.
Outside of Danbo, in the suburbs of Kyoto, two trucks collided. The explosives hidden in the cargo were detonated, destroying more than half of the warehouse. Three people were seriously injured, and one was killed.
The remaining license plate number was from Danbo.
It was Danbo again.
"Okay, I got it."
Huai Shi nodded calmly and said to the subordinates who came to inform him, "I'll leave the aftermath to you."
"Yes!"
The subordinate nodded and turned to leave.
Only in the office, Huai Shi looked down at the report on the table expressionlessly.
The driver who caused the accident was an employee of Huai Zhi Construction. He was 41 years old, male, and was responsible for transporting materials and construction waste for the construction site. The car was bought with a loan, and there were still 41 years to repay.
He had a daughter and a newborn son.
It was old-fashioned and never got into a conflict with others. Even when Danbo was at its most chaotic, it did not engage in any illegal activities.
Then, when he was working overtime last night, he disappeared and mysteriously appeared in Jingdu. There were even traces of forbidden drugs on his body …
"Spiritual theory again?" Huai Shi asked.
"Yes, they should have a border relic that can control consciousness," Huai Zhi replied. "The scope of their activities and their upper echelons have been figured out. The location of the headquarters also has an idea …"
"Too slow."
Huai Shi interrupted him and told him, "You should be faster."
"It's my fault." The youth lowered his eyes and did not refute.
"No, it's only because you're doing something that I can blame you."
Huai Shi shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "There's nothing perfect in this world … On the contrary, I'm the one who's indecisive."
Huai Zhi was not wrong. He had already done his best.
On the contrary, he was too harsh.
How could something that involved hundreds of thousands of people and the undercurrent brewing within the entire city be settled with the press of a button?
There would always be loopholes in guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
He could not act rashly and alert the enemy. He had to cast a long line to catch a big fish. He had to find an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop and uproot all the hidden dangers …
Therefore, he had to endure and wait.
But everything had a price.
But when he saw living people turn into death notices one by one and appear in front of him, he would sincerely realize his weakness and powerlessness.
He could not get used to it.
Even if he did not have the responsibility for everyone.
"This is what I asked you to do, Little Nineteen. You don't have to feel guilty or uneasy." Huai Shi said, "If it were me, it might not be so smooth … You just have to do your best."
He said, "I'll bear all the consequences."
This was the only guarantee he could make.
Huai Zhi nodded and turned to leave.
After a short silence, Huai Shi heard the sound of the internal phone again.
It was a notification from Yuan Yuan.
The commissioner of the Yingzhou Governing Bureau came to visit.
"I don't think there's any need to say more."
Huai Shi stared at the fidgeting commissioner. "I remember that my relationship with the Yingzhou branch is not so good that I can send gifts to them every day, so you can say it directly."
In a short silence, the commissioner sat on the sofa uneasily, twisted his body, and said stutteringly, "Because of the possible terrorist attack, the Luming Hall submitted a search application to the Governing Bureau not long ago …"
"Your reaction is quite fast."
Huai Shi seemed to laugh. "Danbo is a special pilot city recognized by the Astronomical Society, but it's not under their control … Or do you have a different opinion on this?"
The commissioner's face became more and more nervous.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, not daring to look at his eyes.
"This, this … This matter involves the sovereignty of Yingzhou, so it's inconvenient for the Governing Bureau to intervene …" The voice of the commissioner who was pushed out to take the blame was already trembling. "I, I hope that the two sides can resolve it peacefully …"
"In other words, you're on the side of the Luming Hall?"
Huai Shi nodded in understanding. He looked down at the notice on the table and said indifferently, "Let René talk to me."
"René, Minister René has gone to London a few days ago to participate in the overall planning meeting."
The commissioner lowered his head. "The Yingzhou branch is just acting according to the rules. We don't, we don't have the intention to be your enemy."
"Rules? Whose rules? "
Huai Shi raised his hand and waved the notice. "I didn't see the seal of the central decision-making room. Or do you want to use the sword of the Yingzhou Governing Bureau to cut me, a special military officer? "
"I … I … I'm just following orders to convey the message."
"I know, so I won't make things difficult for you."
Huai Shi said coldly, "You just have to go back and tell your colleagues that I don't agree. When René comes back from the central decision-making room, I'll have a good talk with him – "
The commissioner nodded frantically as if he had been pardoned.
It was as if he had escaped from under a guillotine. He was about to cry.
He immediately got up and wanted to say goodbye.
But then, he heard Huai Shi's voice.
He was calm and curious.
"But before that, can you tell me …"
Huai Shi looked down at the document on the table and asked in confusion, "Who passed this application? Who signed this notice? "
The commissioner froze on the spot.
At this moment, it was as if he saw the door of hell open behind him. Endless darkness rose violently and swallowed his soul.
But that was just an illusion.
After a moment of trance, he was already sweating profusely.
There was only Huai Shi's smile there.
It was so gentle.
It was as if it covered the entire hell …
.
.
He ended the conversation in a friendly manner, thoughtfully wrote a reply letter, and politely sent the commissioner downstairs.
After congratulating him on a safe journey.
He watched the car escape as if it was running for its life.
Huai Shi sat on the bench in the hall and calmly stared in the direction they left in, as well as the figures holding signs and shouting outside the door.
At this point, the situation was completely obvious.
The pressure from the Luming Hall was obvious.
Through the relationship with the Yingzhou Governing Bureau, they tested the pressure on Huai Shi and squeezed Danbo's living space in all directions.
Business, life, and public security … from every corner, they told this annoying outsider that if he didn't know how to read the air and didn't know the consequences of not understanding the rules.
They didn't even resort to force. Instead, they taught Huai Shi a lesson.
And waited for his reply.
Either he chose to compromise and join the warm embrace of the Luming Hall, or he continued to be isolated and gradually shook Danbo's foundation …
Nan Nan's knife had indeed accurately hit Huai Shi's sore spot.
Indeed, once Danbo's foundation was shaken, Huai Shi would fall into a passive position.
But the premise was that he had to be shaken.
He dialed the number on his phone and waited for the call to be connected. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he asked straightforwardly, "Hello, is the stinky sister there?"
Bang!
The sound of slapping the table came from the other end.
As if he had been angry for a long time, Hu Po replied irritably, "If you have something to say, say it! I'm busy! "
"Are you involved in this matter?" Huai Shi asked.
Hu Po was so angry that he laughed, "Get your facts straight. Who's your biggest partner right now? I'm going to instigate those old ghosts to cooperate with you and harm the interests of An Fang? Am I crazy? "
"That's true." Huai Shi nodded. "It doesn't seem like there's something wrong with your brain."
On the other end of the phone, Hu Po closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Calm down, calm down, I can't lower myself to the same level as this bastard.
"Listen, Huai Shi, I know you're very angry, and I know you want to make things difficult for people right now, but you have to understand that my blood pressure is off the charts just by being Dongxia's lackey in Yingzhou. Don't provoke me, okay?"
She said, "If you're willing to leave this matter to me, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. But you know, the Eastern Summer Genealogy has never done a losing business. "
The relationship between Danbo and Taiqing Heavy Industry was already too close.
If it went any further, it would also have the hidden danger of losing its independence.
"Don't worry, it's not to the extent that I can't handle it myself." Huai Shi said, "You just need to give me a few names."
Hu Po heard this and laughed again. "You want me to give you a list of the upper echelons of Luming Hall? “
"There's no need for so many. If we're talking about precision attacks, a few of them will be enough. Tell me who the leaders are." Huai Shi said, "I don't mind having a few more who aren't on good terms with you."
Hu Po was silent for a long time and couldn't help but sigh with a headache.
"What?" Huai Shi laughed. "You want to say that you don't need it?"
"Of course I won't reject the benefits that come to my door … But what's the price, Huai Shi?" Hu Po said faintly. "If you don't take the money, I don't have confidence in my heart."
"Then forget it, pretend I didn't say anything." Huai Shi followed the good advice. "If there's nothing else, then I'll hang up?"
"…"
After a short silence, a helpless voice came from the other end.
"Wait a minute."
Thus, Huai Shi's smile became more and more cheerful.
