You see, he didn't want to die. He had only accepted bribes, taking money and a house from Zhao Xiaosheng.
He doesn't need to risk his life for the Zhao family of Changwu.
Jingle Bell! !
At that moment, Zhao Xiaosheng called.
"How is it going, Xiao Zhenbang? Have you found out anything?"
Xiao Zhenbang's face was grim. He lowered his voice and walked to a deserted corner: "Well, the other side is from the Handong Military Region. I'm sorry, I have no authority to command, let alone interfere in the military."
“Zhao Xiaosheng. I’m telling you, hurry up and find a scapegoat.”
"The army found drugs in your casino..." Xiao Zhenbang was only halfway through his sentence when a stun gun came from behind him, knocking him unconscious.
*Pfft*, a national security agent. Wearing a black mask and a black Zhongshan suit, he reached out and hugged Xiao Zhenbang.
Zhao Xiaosheng frowned and pressed urgently, "Hello? Hello, answer me?"
There was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Zhao Xiaosheng was so angry that he slammed his phone to the ground, cursing, "This useless thing, it always fails me at the crucial moment!"
At this moment, his three sons looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.
Zhao Xiaosheng paced back and forth in the room, pondering his next move, muttering to himself, "Why would the Handong Military Region suddenly get involved in this matter? There must be some unknown force behind it."
Zhao Xiaosheng stopped, his eyes turning fierce. "No matter what, we absolutely cannot let this matter involve the Zhao family. We must find a way to resolve this trouble as soon as possible." Zhao Xiaosheng suddenly remembered something and looked at his third son: "Third son, your casino has been taken over by the military, and they found drugs there."
"You should quickly find a scapegoat and take the blame."
Zhao Pengxiang looked at Zhao Xiaosheng with a bewildered expression: "Dad? The scapegoat... Cao Dalong?"
Zhao Xiaosheng frowned: "Cao Dalong has been with our Zhao family for over twenty years, and now he's the security manager. Cao Dalong knows too many secrets."
Zhao Pengchao suddenly spoke up: "Lynx."
“Lynx is my confidant.” Zhao Pengxiang was very dissatisfied.
...
Zhao Pengchao's eyes were cold as he continued, "It's precisely because he's your confidant that you can rely on him in crucial moments. Besides, Shanmao has no background, so even if he takes the blame, he can't cause any big trouble. Once Cao Dalong gets into trouble, many secrets will be lost."
Zhao Xiaosheng nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Pengxiang: "Third brother, do as fourth brother said, let Shanmao take the blame, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Although Zhao Pengxiang was unwilling, he dared not argue in the face of his father's authority and the current situation. He could only grit his teeth and reply, "Okay, Dad, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
After saying that, Zhao Pengxiang hurriedly left the room to deal with finding a scapegoat.
Watching Zhao Pengxiang's departing figure, Zhao Xiaosheng muttered to himself again, "We must minimize the impact of this matter and absolutely cannot let the Zhao family fall into utter ruin."
He has fifty-four protectors, but none of them are from the military.
None of the four members of the Zhao family in Changwu were in the mood to stay at the hospital. Instead, they left the hospital, got into their car, and returned to the Zhao family's luxurious villa.
Requesting flowers...
At the same time, Lin Yunfei decisively launched an attack. He ordered two thousand soldiers to surround the Zhao family's old residence in military trucks.
"Commander Zhou, we must press our advantage, storm the Zhao family compound, and capture Zhao Pengxiang, the owner of the underground casino."
"Tell the soldiers that the evidence is now conclusive and the facts are clear."
"Zhao Pengxiang is a drug dealer and arms dealer." Lin Yunfei's words were sure to shock.
Commander Zhou's expression was solemn. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Secretary Lin, although the evidence currently points to Zhao Pengxiang, the Zhao family has a huge influence in Changwu. If we rashly attack the Zhao family, it may trigger a fierce conflict and cause unnecessary casualties."
"We still need to proceed with caution, consult with our superiors first, and await further instructions."
Lin Yunfei's eyes were firm, and he responded without hesitation: "Commander Zhou, time is of the essence. Every minute wasted could mean more drugs and weapons entering the market and endangering public safety."
"We have enough evidence and cannot give the Zhao family any chance to breathe or destroy the evidence."
Commander Zhou still hesitated: "Secretary Lin, I understand your feelings, but this violates... procedures."
"If something unexpected happens, none of us can afford to take that responsibility."
Lin Yunfei patted Commander Zhou on the shoulder: "Commander Zhou, my wife is the First Political Commissar of the Handong Military Region. I am considered a military dependent."
"It is our duty to protect the lives and property of the people."
“The drug dealers are right in front of us. We can’t let the so-called procedures cause us to miss the best opportunity to arrest them.”
"Alright, I'll call Commander Han and report this situation," Lin Yunfei said slowly, his expression serious.
Just then, a soldier rushed over: "Report! Some suspicious people have been spotted around the Zhao family's old house, and they seem to be increasing their defenses."
Lin Yunfei frowned: "It seems the Zhao family has already noticed our movements, which further proves that we cannot wait."
"Commander Zhou, if we hesitate any longer, Zhao Pengxiang might escape, and all our previous efforts will be in vain."
"I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
"Commander Zhou, you don't need to worry at all."
Commander Zhou nodded, his expression serious: "Alright, Secretary Lin."
. . . . .
Twenty minutes later, two thousand soldiers in camouflage uniforms, under the cover of military trucks, surrounded the Zhao family's old house.
The Zhao family's thugs pulled out their batons and stun guns, ready for action.
Under Liu Can's protection, Lin Yunfei was wearing a military-grade bulletproof vest and helmet, and was holding a megaphone.
"I am Lin Yunfei, Vice Governor and Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province!"
"Our Public Security Bureau, in conjunction with the Handong Military Region, is launching a province-wide special campaign to crack down on organized crime and eliminate evil forces."
"We have busted one of your underground casinos. Inside the casino, we found a large quantity of drugs."
"And homemade guns and hand grenades."
"This underground casino belongs to Zhao Pengxiang!!" Lin Yunfei's voice suddenly rose.
“Zhao Xiaosheng, chairman of Tieshi Mining. You don’t need to hide anymore.”
"Your protector won't come to your rescue!"
"No matter who it is, no one has the privilege to break the law or violate regulations."
Lin Yunfei made a startling statement, shouting, "Zhao Xiaosheng, your son Zhao Pengxiang is suspected of operating a casino, smuggling and selling drugs, and smuggling firearms."
"As the Director of the Public Security Bureau, I will never make deals with criminals."
"I'll give you one minute to think about it."
"If Zhao Pengxiang doesn't come out within a minute, he will turn himself in. Then we will launch a full-scale attack."
Inside the Zhao family's old mansion, the atmosphere was so tense it felt like the air itself could ignite. Zhao Xiaosheng's face was terribly grim; he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point, with Lin Yunfei being so forceful, directly leading the army to surround the old mansion.
Zhao Pengxiang was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth in the room, muttering repeatedly, "What do we do? What do we do? Dad, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Zhao Xiaosheng glared at him and scolded, "What's the panic! Going out now is like walking into a trap. We need to think of a way to see if we can find other connections to smooth things over."
At this moment, Zhao Pengchao spoke up, "Dad, it's probably too late to pull strings now. Since Lin Yunfei dared to do this, he must have something to rely on. Besides, some of our previous protectors don't have connections in the military, so they can't help us at all now."
Zhao Xiaosheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We can't just wait like this. Third brother, you should contact Lynx as soon as possible and tell him to be prepared. If it really comes to a last resort, we'll have to let him take the lead."
Zhao Pengxiang nodded helplessly, took out his phone, and started contacting Lynx.
· ········Requesting 0 flowers ·······
However, no one answered the phone, which made Zhao Pengxiang's heart sink even further.
"Dad, Lynx isn't answering the phone. Could something have happened?" Zhao Pengxiang asked anxiously.
Zhao Xiaosheng gritted his teeth and said, "Try calling again. We must get in touch with him. If all else fails, send someone to his house to look for him."
Meanwhile, outside the Zhao family's old residence, Lin Yunfei glanced at his watch, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. Time ticked by, and the one-minute deadline was fast approaching.
"Ten seconds left!" Lin Yunfei shouted. "Nine, eight, seven..."
As the countdown drew nearer, the atmosphere inside the Zhao family's old mansion grew increasingly tense. Zhao Xiaosheng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. He knew that the choice he made in this minute would determine the fate of the Zhao family.
"Three, two, one! Time's up!" Lin Yunfei commanded. "All soldiers, prepare to attack!"
In an instant, two thousand soldiers in camouflage uniforms charged towards the Zhao family's old house like tigers descending a mountain. Gunshots and shouts of battle instantly resounded through the sky.
boom!boom!
Bang! boom!
Four shots were fired in quick succession, and the gate of the Zhao family's old house was opened by bullets.
One hundred and twenty soldiers, arranged in three-on-three formations, entered in turn.
Inside the Zhao family's old mansion, the thugs panicked upon seeing the gate breached. Some pulled out pistols in a desperate attempt to resist, while others collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way in fear.
..... ..... ....
Boom! !
Whenever they saw an thug pull out a pistol, the soldiers would pull the trigger without hesitation and kill him on the spot.
Zhao Xiaosheng looked at the soldiers rushing in, his face ashen. He knew that the Zhao family was truly doomed this time.
Zhao Pengxiang was terrified. He backed away, muttering, "It's all over, it's all over now."
Zhao Pengchao was relatively calmer, but his eyes were filled with despair. He understood that under the army's powerful offensive, any resistance would be futile.
Lin Yunfei strode into the Zhao family's old house with firm steps. His gaze swept over everyone present, and he said loudly, "Zhao Xiaosheng and Zhao Pengxiang, you have committed heinous crimes. Surrender now, and you may be able to get a lighter sentence."
Zhao Xiaosheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, "Lin Yunfei, don't think you can bring down the Zhao family like this. The Zhao family has been in Changwu for so many years, we are not so easy to deal with."
Lin Yunfei sneered, "Zhao Xiaosheng, you're still so stubborn. The things your Zhao family has done over the years are too numerous to count. Today is your end." As he spoke, the soldiers had already surrounded the core members of the Zhao family.
Zhao Xiaosheng looked at the soldiers around him, his heart filled with resentment, but he also knew that the situation was hopeless.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaosheng's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he threatened Lin Yunfei: "Lin Yunfei, aren't you afraid that the people behind my Zhao family will retaliate against you? Although you have the support of the army, there are some forces that you can't easily provoke."
Lin Yunfei's gaze was piercing as he stared directly at Zhao Xiaosheng: "Since I, Lin Yunfei, dared to come, I am not afraid of any retaliation. I represent justice and the law, and any force that violates the law and breaks the law will be severely punished."
Just then, a soldier ran over and reported: "Secretary Lin, a large quantity of drugs and firearms and ammunition have been found in the basement of the Zhao family's old house."
Lin Yunfei nodded, a satisfied smile on his face: "Protect all this evidence; it's irrefutable proof of their crimes."
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Xiaosheng's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He knew that the Zhao family was now completely finished.
Seeing that all was lost, Zhao Pengxiang suddenly rushed outside like a madman, trying to escape. Several soldiers reacted quickly, immediately stopping him and pinning him to the ground. Zhao Pengxiang struggled and shouted, "Let me go! You can't arrest me! I'm the young master of the Zhao family!"
