Chapter 1097 The Decision

Inside the conference room, Li Mingsheng listened to Su Tianyu's words and shook his head, "There's a motive, but it doesn't quite fit. He's in a more difficult situation than I am right now. For him to do this himself carries too much risk. One wrong step and he's doomed."

"Agreed!" Su Tianyu nodded.

Li Mingsheng looked up at the others and interjected, "Don't just focus on eating! Let's hear your thoughts. How should we handle the military supplies incident?"

The group of advisors looked up, and Director Liu was the first to reply, "I don't think we need to handle it at all! The people have already been withdrawn, and Slaneca's job is done. Zhao Weihu has escaped his predicament, Kang Dinghuang is gone, and our side has already achieved its goals. Next, we can sit back and watch the show, see how the investigation team solves the case within the garrison."

"Hehe, I agree too," a fat man said with a smile. "Didn't Prince Su say earlier that a three-way division of power is quite good? I think it's great. A triangle is the most stable shape. Someone is drawing the fire for us. No matter what their position is, they are comrades-in-arms, haha!"

Li Mingsheng took a sip of white wine, his face flushed, and looked at Su Tianyu, "You keep an eye on things here. Moving forward, I have two decisions."

Hearing this, everyone immediately perked up and put on serious expressions.

"First, resume the military supplies business as soon as possible. If we can't land on the Dragon City side, find a way to land elsewhere. We need to deliver supplies to the Chi Army and the old Mo government army as soon as possible, otherwise our old triangle's supply advantage won't be fully realized." Li Mingsheng pondered for a moment, then said with an air of dominance, "Second, in light of the recent series of heinous crimes in Dragon City and the severe threat to the people's property, the city government has decided to establish a new police department called the Anti-Terrorism Security Group. This department will be directly led by the Anti-Terrorism Unit, with an initial estimated recruitment of four thousand personnel, with priority given to those with military experience!"

Jin Maohui of the Anti-Terrorism Unit immediately raised a question upon hearing this, "I'm afraid a police department with such an armed nature won't be approved, will it?"

"We definitely won't be establishing a formal organization, and we don't even need to announce its establishment to the public. In simple terms, it's because your Anti-Terrorism Unit doesn't have enough police force, so you're choosing to recruit temporary workers to help." Old Li revealed his long-planned scheme, "No exams are needed, and no civil service recruitment process is required. This is just an internal matter for your Anti-Terrorism Unit."

Hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly, thinking that Old Li was exploiting a loophole in the regional policy. Because every police department has its own independent team of non-staff personnel, such as the police department's informant team, auxiliary police team, and the temporary contract teams for environmental sanitation management, and so on.

Obviously, establishing a new police department through policy would not be approved. Not even the mayor has this power, let alone the governor and the chairman of the regional council. It must be decided by a vote in the regional council.

But Old Li used the non-staff personnel system to add four thousand people to the Anti-Terrorism Unit as temporary workers, which perfectly avoided the review mechanism. Not only could no one say anything about it, but it might not even attract anyone's attention in the early stages.

Li Mingsheng slowly stood up, walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and continued, "My idea is to raise the Anti-Terrorism Unit to the level of a bureau-level administrative unit within three years, because the number of employees for a department-level unit is limited. But once this is opened up, there will be no limit to the number, which will facilitate future personnel expansion."

"Leader, this…this won't be easily approved, will it?" Su Tianyu reminded softly, "Although our Dragon City is equivalent to an independent state, it…it's not qualified to have a bureau-level unit stationed here."

"A triangle is the most stable, hehe!" Li Mingsheng said with his hands behind his back, confidently, "When that corner sticks out, the higher-ups will need stability, then we'll have our chance. At worst, the Anti-Terrorism Unit will be at the bureau level, and I won't ask for a single cent of funding from above. Isn't it okay to just give me an empty title?!"

Hearing this, Su Tianyu immediately gave a thumbs up, "Leader, you are too wise!"

"…Can you let me say that line! Give me a chance to praise the leader, would you die?" Li Yuan added impatiently.

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed.

…

Around 11 p.m.

Asui had just finished showering when he heard his phone ringing in the room.

"Hello?!" Asui wiped his hair as he returned to the master bedroom, "How is it, is it done?"

"The money has been distributed, but there's an emergency." The brother on the phone said in a solemn tone, "I couldn't contact Xiao Hu!"

"Huh?" Asui was stunned for a moment, "Where is he?!"

"I sent him a secret code in the forum, but he didn't reply, so I didn't dare to contact him directly." The other party replied urgently, "Then I sent a secret code to Chen Xi and Liu Jun as well. Chen Xi didn't reply either, but Liu Jun called me and said that he wasn't with Xiao Hu, but that he and Chen Xi were together."

"Impossible!" Asui frowned, "I called Xiao Hu before, and they had already returned to Kasaro, confirming that they were safe."

"Something's not right! Liu Jun said he didn't see Xiao Hu at all during the retreat, and he and Chen Xi didn't run back to Kasaro with everyone."

"…!" Hearing this, Asui's heart sank.

"Should I have someone take a look at the place where Xiao Hu was staying?" the other party asked.

"No, no, don't go yet." Asui immediately ordered, "You don't need to contact him anymore, I'll find him."

"Okay."

The two ended the call. Asui was silent for a moment, then immediately changed to a different SIM card.

…

Inside the Tongji Association's "Family Compound."

Fei Pingsheng was lying on the floor of his own residence, diligently exercising.

"Are you sick, doing push-ups in the middle of the night?" A'hua rolled her eyes and scolded.

"You always say I'm useless, so shouldn't I practice?" Fei Pingsheng replied casually, "Otherwise, what if I come home one day and find someone else in my bed?"

"Your potential is very low, practicing won't do much good." A'hua sat on the sofa and picked up an apple, "I heard Da Bai is quite good…."

"Are you fucking provoking me?!" Fei Pingsheng was furious, "Tonight, I'm going to make you submit!"

"Get lost, stop fooling around!" A'hua stretched out her size thirty-nine feet and kicked Fei Pingsheng in the abdomen.

"Don't move, I'm coming!"

"Get out!"

Just as the couple was bantering, the phone rang.

Fei Pingsheng reached for the phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"Something urgent!" Asui's voice sounded, "One of my little brothers has gone missing, I can't find him!"

Fei Pingsheng immediately stood up straight, "When did this happen?!"
