Meeting room!
Wang Du was sitting inside smoking when the Third Master of the Ning family spoke to him casually. The attack involved the Ning family, and if it wasn't handled properly, what would become of the Ning family's prestige and reputation? Therefore, he had to step forward to understand the situation.
Knock knock!
"Enter..."
The Flying Eagle Squad Leader walked in from outside.
Governor Wang's expression brightened: "How's the investigation going?"
Captain Flying Eagle glanced at Master Ning.
Wang Du: "It's alright... The Ning family is a friendly unit in Pudi, and Third Master Ning is also a Pudi cooperation committee member. Since this incident involves guests of the Ning family, he has the right to attend the hearing."
Captain Flying Eagle: "We've already found out that these people are from the Nest Gate Martial Group, specifically the Martial Group's Second Battle Team."
"They are the most elite squad in the Nest Gate, with Samba as the captain and Cun Mang as the vice-captain. The entire squad is under our control."
Nest entrance!
Martial Arts Group!
Wang Du and Ning Sanye showed no shock, as they already knew that these people were from the Nest Sect.
Wang Du: "The Nest Gate? The Martial Group! The others? How could the Nest Gate, unfamiliar with Pudi, possibly organize such a meticulously planned assassination operation? Who is supporting them behind the scenes...?"
Captain Flying Eagle: "These people are stubborn and haven't said anything..."
Supervisor Wang: "Didn't you say? Then you didn't investigate?"
Captain Flying Eagle: "We investigated! We found that there were indeed Rongxing people wandering around the area where Mr. Qin was attacked during that period, but when we went to investigate those people, we found that they had already left Pudi."
What?
Bang!
Wang Du slammed his hand on the table: "They left? Did they all leave?"
Captain Flying Eagle: "Yes! All the key figures from the Rong Clan involved have left, leaving only some insignificant members. We've taken them into custody and are investigating them separately, but they truly know nothing: they have no idea about Mr. Qin's attack... they only know they were on their way to a meeting when they got stuck in traffic..."
"They're all very stubborn! You won't get anything out of them in a short time..."
Bang!
Governor Wang slammed his fist on the table again: "That Rongxing is certainly well-informed; he moved the people immediately..."
Master Ning: "This matter... is difficult to handle!"
Wang Du also frowned.
Yes!
Things are getting complicated!
Everyone knows that Rongxing must be behind this, but they have no concrete evidence. Not to mention that the arrested scoundrels won't talk, even if they did, they would only implicate their superiors, but their superiors have already moved away from Pudi. With this, they can't do anything to Rongxing.
Let alone serious injuries!
At most, you'll only get a minor scratch!
...
Is this enough?
Of course not! Let alone whether Qin Jiang would agree or not, they themselves couldn't afford to lose face.
After a moment's thought, Governor Wang ordered: "Continue the thorough investigation: arrest and interrogate everyone involved in any problem, and take turns interrogating those suspected until they confess..."
Captain Eagle: "Yes, sir!"
After Captain Flying Eagle left.
Master Ning said, "Commander Wang! We probably won't find anything useful this way, and even if we do find some clues, it won't be enough to take down Rongxing."
Supervisor Wang: "Yes! But we must investigate! This is a matter of attitude!"
Third Master Ning said, "Just having an attitude isn't enough. Although I've only met Qin Jiang for the first time, I've already gotten a feel for his temperament: he's definitely not one to suffer in silence. If we don't give him an explanation for this, he might cause trouble, and then things won't look good..." He didn't continue, but his meaning was very clear. Given Qin Jiang's status and position, if he truly felt he had been wronged and made a scene, it would be quite a commotion. For the Ning family, it would only be a loss of face, but for Governor Wang and others, it would be a complete slap in the face, and it might even subtly affect their careers...
Supervisor Wang: "Having the right attitude isn't enough; you also need to produce results..."
Master Ning: "We must get results: but it's indeed a bit difficult to find evidence right now!"
The two exchanged a glance and each went to make a phone call to ask for instructions:
Wang Du called Pu Du!
Third Master Ning called Old Master Ning!
...
moment!
The two of them came back after making the phone call!
Master Ning: "Our Ning family has decided to talk to the Zhou family and persuade them to refuse to continue cooperating with Rongxing! If the Zhou family does not agree, the Ning family will officially become hostile to the Zhou family and have our junket operators steal Rongxing's clients!"
"At the same time, we will give Mr. Qin 10% of one of the Rong family's casinos as compensation."
Governor Wang was astonished.
The previous break with the Zhou family and sending subordinates to serve Rongxing's clients were still just a matter of attitude. This situation would not cause any harm to either the Zhou family or Rongxing. The two sides were originally competitors, and it was just that the competition had changed from the underhanded to the overt. However, the fact that they gave Mr. Qin 10% of one of their casinos was definitely a big deal.
casino!
This is the foundation of the Ning family! Although the Ning family owns three casinos, even a 1% stake is extremely important. A 10% stake in a casino generates at least tens of millions in revenue annually, and it also represents significant influence, signifying that the family has a say in the business.
This is quite a large undertaking!
This shows that the Ning family values Qinjiang, or rather, the mainland market and their own reputation.
Governor Wang also said: "Governor Pu has ordered that all illegal casinos in Pudi be shut down immediately, and that other illegal industries and activities in Pudi be severely cracked down on."
Master Ning was also surprised: Although the order seemed to be aimed at cracking down on criminals, it was clearly targeting Rongxing. It was obvious that this sweep would cause Rongxing heavy losses: its casinos and businesses would most likely be shut down. It was clear that Governor Pu was also very angry about this situation!
Master Ning:
"Let's do it this way!"
Wang Du: "This will at least give Qin Jiang an explanation!"
Neither of them wasted any words and immediately carried out the order.
A large-scale police operation was launched across Pudi to inspect and seize Rongxing's properties.
The Ning family also negotiated with the Zhou family, and after the negotiations failed, they immediately declared that they would not let Rongxing get away with it....
In a short time:
The simultaneous attacks by Wang Du and the Ning family drew attention throughout Pudi, who marveled at the scale of their actions. However, all parties understood that this situation wouldn't cripple Rongxing, whose true industry was junket operations! But junket operations weren't illegal in Pudi, so they couldn't be completely destroyed; they would only cause a temporary lull.
"It seems the Ning family and Governor Wang are truly enraged... Rongxing will likely suffer significant losses as well..."
"But after this battle, Rongxing's status in Pudong rose to a new level: they became the absolute local power! Even if that mainland tycoon Qin Jiang was incredibly powerful here, what could he do? He seemed to be getting revenge, but the result was: Rongxing was completely unscathed, while Qin Jiang was injured and slunk away..."
"As expected! Even the most powerful outlaw can't defeat a local tyrant! I've heard Qin Jiang's legendary tales, but unfortunately, his legend is fading, and his life has been tarnished... He shouldn't have come..."
...
Just when all parties thought the matter would come to an end.
Sudden.
A shocking piece of news arrived: [Qin Jiang transferred 800 guards from his hometown to Pu]
