Chapter 19: A Turning Point Quietly Arrives
Late at night, Floral Shirt, who claimed to be Li Xing's brother-in-arms, was brought back to the Police Bureau. Soon after, Wang Daolin ordered his subordinate officers to start arresting people in the Zha'nan area. In one night, more than twenty "indirectly involved persons" were arrested or summoned for questioning, all of whom were "employees" of Changqing Company.
Was Wang Daolin daring to order the arrest of Changq...

Chapter 18: Prelude to the Offensive
In Wang Daolin's hospital room at Zha'nan District People's Hospital, five or six mid-level officials from the Dragon City Police Bureau were angrily cursing Changqing Company's people, feeling indignant about Old Wang being implicated in this matter.
Wang Daolin wasn't injured at all. He sat on the hospital bed, lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and suddenly said: "Damn it, when Changqing Company first came, they were very...

Chapter 17: The Gunshot That Broke All Balance
In the third-floor private room of the Cantonese restaurant on Guangming Road, a faint scent of sandalwood permeated the air. The tea set on the solid wood table emitted rising steam. Su Tiannan and Wang Daolin sat facing each other, the atmosphere very quiet, but their thoughts were in turmoil.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Tiannan's forehead as he softly continued to raise the stakes: "Uncle Wang, you and my fa...

About half an hour after the fight ended, the Su family garbage yard was already packed with people, both inside and out.
Surrounding onlookers, Su family workers, over twenty police officers from the Zha'nan District Police Department, and dozens of firefighters from the Fire Department were all busy with their respective tasks in the yard.
At the entrance, Kong Zhenghui's car stopped. He scanned the ...

On a starry night, three vans rode the evening breeze, stopping on the road less than three hundred meters from the Su family garbage yard.
The floral-shirted man led the group out of the cars, without masks, only holding a phone as he asked Lu Feng: "Big Brother, tell us, how should we do this? To what extent?"
"No need to kill anyone, but make it as brutal as possible," Lu Feng replied concisely. "The Su family likes to take th...
