The thought had just crossed my mind!
All the top executives of the "Nail Project" shook their heads.
How could that be!
The most powerful social force in the North: the Black Dragon Group! With tens of thousands of men under its command, it destroyed Hua Sheng, overthrew Hu Wei, and drove out the Lin family!
So many legends of people drowning in the river!
So many fatal accidents!
Although there seem to be reasonable explanations for each one, are there really so many coincidences in the world?
How could such a force be truly legitimate? It's just that everything is hidden even more deeply!
The person in charge of the North said, "After destroying the Yaowu Group, the next step is the Lin family, but the Black Dragon also needs to be put on the agenda. The current progress is too slow. This cannot continue. Our Nail Project team cannot delay for so long."
The other senior executives nodded in agreement.
Their "Nail Project" team was established with the goal of eradicating organized crime in the three northern provinces? Although they have achieved some success in eliminating organized crime in the past two years, the top three are still around. If this process continues, it may take several more years to reach the Black Dragon Group. If it takes so long to complete the mission, it may not be considered a merit but rather an act of inaction.
They must speed things up!
The Lin family!
The goal for Qing Province is easy to explain; their spies have found a lot of useful evidence and are making steady progress.
However, the Black Dragon Group has made virtually no progress. They must focus more on the Black Dragon Group while simultaneously destroying the Yaowu Group.
"I don't believe he's innocent. There's no smoke without fire, especially with so many rumors."
"The North has become his personal fiefdom; who can believe he's without fault in this situation..."
"They just haven't found the evidence yet..."
"I think the more problems that can't be found, the bigger the problem is. Maybe he's the chief culprit in the three northern provinces."
"But what should we do? Keep sending in spies? But when will those spies be effective? Try to turn them to defect! But it's very difficult to successfully turn anyone in the upper echelons of the Black Dragon Group."
For a time, these high-ranking officials were deeply troubled. Compared to other criminal gangs, the Black Dragon Group's high-level structure and internal personnel were too stable and extremely loyal to Qin Jiang, making it impossible to find any entry point.
incite defection!
It's nothing short of a fantasy! Especially for the top management of the Black Dragon Group, it's practically impossible.
They even tried at the middle management level, but not only did they fail, they almost exposed themselves.
One high-ranking official couldn't help but complain: "Qin Jiang treats his subordinates too well. He has money and he really gives it to them. The benefits are several levels better than those of Yaowu Group and the Lin family. At the same time, these people don't have to do any life-threatening work. Under such circumstances, how can they not be loyal to him? Turning them against him is simply not going to work..."
"What should we do? This is really a headache..."
"If you ask me, we should first wipe out the Yaowu Group, then the Lin family. Then, with our overwhelming power, we can forcefully suppress the Black Dragon and investigate every detail. I refuse to believe we won't find any problems..."
"No! Black Dragon is a special case in the North! He not only has close ties with the Bai family, but also wields significant economic power in the region. Without evidence, any rash actions we take will only provoke local anger, not only failing to achieve our goals but also potentially getting us into trouble..."
"This won't work, that won't work... what should I do?"
Project Nail Manager: "Alright! Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll have someone try activating Nail Number One here."
Activate nail number one?
The senior executives couldn't help but frown:
"I suspect that the number one 'nail' has already been turned by the local authorities. Can activating him really be effective?"
"Let's try anything, even if it's a long shot! But we need to be careful..."
"I agree..."
This matter was quickly settled, and they moved on to discuss other issues...
...
Feng Zhao's hometown!
Feng Zhaozheng spent the Spring Festival with his family: the house was bustling and lively, and all the relatives who had once looked down on his family were now incredibly welcoming, constantly praising him.
"Wow! Our Feng Zhao has really made something of himself..."
"Absolutely! I heard you've become a high-ranking leader in the Heilong Group, managing over a thousand people..."
"Xiao Zhao! Your cousin is graduating soon too. Do you think you could help him get a job at the Black Dragon Group...?"
It can be said that since Feng Zhao joined Heilongjiang, the attitude of his family has changed more and more each year.
From doubt to passion!
From enthusiasm to attentiveness!
From eagerness to reverence!
...
His parents' status in the family rose accordingly, and their family's life improved day by day: his salary at Heilong Group was really not low, already earning hundreds of thousands a year! This was an unimaginable figure for the Feng family now, allowing them to build a new house in their hometown.
In addition, there's Feng Zhao's company car!
And New Year's goods!
The old couple were so powerful back in their hometown that everyone who saw them would say, "They've raised a fine son!"
Happy Chinese New Year!
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they would almost always come to Feng Zhao's house for a gathering. Although it was called a gathering, it was really just to meet up with Feng Zhao and chat about their friendship.
After a while.
Tired of the flattery, Feng Zhao finished his meal first: "Um... I'm going out for a walk to digest..."
Then, amidst the compliments of the entire family, I left...
This moment:
As Feng Zhao walked through the snow, he felt a little disoriented.
At that very moment.
A middle-aged man came up to him and said, "Building a house, driving a luxury car, and having your whole family flatter you—you're really living the high life!"
Feng Zhao looked at the other person and was taken aback.
:"Who are you!"
"People from my hometown!"
"What... happened to you?"
"Don't worry! I came here for this..."
The man handed Feng Zhao a box.
Feng Zhao took it and opened it: inside was a security badge, and its level was: Level 3 Security Inspector!
His gaze suddenly narrowed: This level is really not low, it's equivalent to the deputy director of an ordinary county bureau.
The middle-aged man said, "You've been lurking in Heilongjiang for years! You've risked your life! This is a special promotion that your hometown has applied for for you, a small favor! Your hometown has high hopes for you and your future. Your future is bright. When you succeed, your hometown will apply for a second-class merit for you and will personally come here to comfort your family, so that you can completely wash away the darkness and walk into the light!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man turned and left...
now.
Feng Zhao watched the departing middle-aged man with a complex expression. He could understand the meaning behind his words: Remember your identity! Only by helping his hometown complete its mission can he retire successfully and become a true source of pride for his family, instead of sinking into ruin with the Black Dragon.
He looked at the security badge in his hand.
His expression was complicated. He unlocked a hidden password on his phone, which contained a video: the very video he had accidentally recorded of Heilong beating someone (the same video from the Yin family).
His expression was conflicted:
Should we submit this video to our superiors...?
...
at the same time.
Qin Jiang and his group have already flown to Pudi, where a bloody storm is about to unfold...
