Chapter 244: Chapter 334: Do you think it’s possible?
Guo Liang’s eyes were wide open as he looked at Liang Feng and the girls. They were just college girls, eighteen or nineteen years old. How could they possibly compare with these figures in the underworld? Letting them take control of the Poison Dragon Gang? That’s just absurd, isn’t it?
"Military Doctor, have you really thought this through?" Guo Liang gently reminded him. Don’t be fooled by how smoothly the mission is going so far, with hardly any obstruction and the easily captured leadership of the Poison Dragon Gang. But there’s still a long road ahead. Moreover, to control such a massive gang with tens of thousands of people, is it something a few young girls can handle?
"Everyone has their own dreams; this is their dream, their choice!" Xiao Lin said with a faint smile. Guo Liang didn’t understand Liang Feng and the girls’ actions and was even more unaware that they had founded the Fei Feng Gang.
"But this kind of dream isn’t a good one!" Guo Liang smiled wryly. That girl was Hu Zi’s sister. If Hu Zi knew in the afterlife, he would be concerned. Back when Liang Hu entered Dragon Soul, the first mentor was Guo Liang, who had lost an arm. The two were both teacher and friend. Although they only spent two years together, Guo Liang was aware of Liang Hu’s achievements later. Would Hu Zi rest in peace knowing his sister joined the underworld?
"Actually, no matter what path you enter, as long as your actions are good, what difference does it make if it’s the underworld?" Xiao Lin had thought it through. At this age, Liang Feng was rebellious. If he forced her, the reaction might be the opposite of what he wanted. So long as Liang Feng didn’t use her power to commit evil, what did it matter if she entered the underworld? If Liang Feng were malicious, what difference would it make if she joined the army or a government agency? As long as her moral compass was good.
"But they’re still kids!" Guo Liang strongly disagreed with Xiao Lin’s approach.
"I thought they were kids too, but now I realize they’re not kids anymore!" Xiao Lin looked at Liang Feng and the girls not far away. Facing so many soldiers and the leadership of the Poison Dragon Gang, they showed no signs of fear during interrogation.
"Moreover, they’ve long been on this path!" Xiao Lin said helplessly. "You’ve spent quite some time in Yanjing City. You must have heard of the Fei Feng Gang?"
Some other special forces might not have heard of it, but when it came to the Sharp Sword Special Brigade, they were conducting a training camp that, to outsiders, seemed routine. However, with Xiao Lin’s identity, he naturally knew that the team sent by the Sharp Sword Special Brigade had other missions, although Xiao Lin didn’t know the specific details.
Guo Liang didn’t hide anything from Xiao Lin, given Xiao Lin’s access to high-level military secrets. The Sharp Sword Special Forces had sent a squad here for training. Its primary goal, for someone like Xiao Lin who wanted to know, would take just a phone call. Nodding, he said, "Yes, I’ve seen it in the files. I just didn’t expect it was them behind it!" There are dozens of big and small gangs in Yanjing, and the Fei Feng Gang is quite inconspicuous. The files don’t even have detailed information, not even a photo of Liang Feng, likely because of Liang Hu’s connection.
"I might need your help a lot during this period. Liang Feng and the girls also need your help keeping an eye on them. Announcing Poison Dragon’s death is just to make him believe we’ve let our guard down. I’m sure he’ll show up soon. As for whether Liang Feng will continue down this path, I’ll let them decide after all this is over. Once we capture Poison Dragon, if she doesn’t want to stay in the underworld, I’ll arrange a better future for her!" Xiao Lin seemed to be making a promise to Guo Liang.
Guo Liang was only worried about whether Liang Feng and the girls could handle such pressure and didn’t think Xiao Lin would do anything harmful to Liang Feng. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay, if anything happens, just call. As for Liang Feng and the others, I’ll send some experts to protect them secretly."
"Thanks!" Xiao Lin said earnestly. After all, Guo Liang was helping him out of personal friendship and not under any orders from above.
"What’s the point in saying that? Do we need to say thank you between us?" Guo Liang said with a smile.
"By the way, didn’t you say someone was coming to take these people later, are you sure that’s suitable?" Guo Liang seemed to remember something and asked Xiao Lin.
It would’ve been fine if Guo Liang hadn’t brought it up, but as soon as he did, Xiao Lin was taken aback. Originally, he had planned to call Wu Shuang over to take the people away. However, with Guo Liang’s question, he vaguely felt something was inappropriate, though he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.
Seeing Xiao Lin in a daze, Guo Liang reminded him, "I know your personality; you’re always clear-cut between public and private affairs. But in this case, I doubt you can do that. Besides, since you said Liang Feng and the others are taking over the Poison Dragon Gang, handing these people over to others might not be easy to handle!"
In front of an old comrade, Xiao Lin hid nothing. This matter did have personal motives; however, it was also because the Poison Dragon Gang had crossed the line. Otherwise, they would’ve been left alone, especially since they had hired Blood Hand Li Fei to deal with him.
Listening to Guo Liang’s words, Xiao Lin found it amusing. Had he become too reliant on Wu Shuang? During this time in Yanjing, he met with Wu Shuang almost daily, and each time, he assigned her to lead a team on missions. This woman’s heart might secretly complain about him.
However, Xiao Lin wasn’t bothered by Guo Liang’s doubts. Somehow, he just trusted that Wu Shuang girl, smiling, he said, "No problem, don’t worry!"
Since Xiao Lin said there’s no problem, Guo Liang naturally wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. He nodded and said, "Hmm, let’s go. Staying here too long isn’t good, it’s too disturbing for the locals!"
The main purpose of this operation is to capture the higher-ups of the Poison Dragon Gang. Of course, there were quite a number of drug users and prostitutes in Tianli Entertainment City, and we caught about twenty of them as well, which we plan to announce publicly. As for the secret downfall of the Poison Dragon Gang, there’s no intention to publicize that yet.
At this time, the deputy captain of the Sharp Sword Special Forces came to report to Guo Liang, while Xiao Lin stepped aside and dialed Wu Shuang’s number. The phone rang for nearly a minute before Wu Shuang’s angry voice came through: "I say, Xiao Lin, do you ever consider the time when you call? What time is it? Do you even let people sleep?"
Xiao Lin didn’t mind Wu Shuang’s heavy tone at all. If it were him, he’d probably be even more irritable. After Wu Shuang vented, Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Finished, Special Police Officer Wu?"
Wu Shuang on the other end had just been startled awake from her sleep. Usually, even if she was in deep sleep, she wouldn’t let the phone ring more than three times before picking up. But she’s been too tired these past few days, with no more than twenty-five hours of sleep in total over the week, averaging three to four hours of sleep a day. The high intensity of work is taking a toll on her body. Originally, she should have been the one to interrogate those elite disciples of the Poison Dragon Gang last night, but her colleagues saw she couldn’t hold on any longer and let her rest in a lounge for a while. It hadn’t even been half an hour, and she just entered sleep when the call woke her up again. How could she not be mad?
Besides, this period has been a love-hate time for Wu Shuang towards Xiao Lin. The love is because Xiao Lin brought her a lot of merits and achievements, giving her the chance to showcase her skills after being sidelined for five years. The hate is also because Xiao Lin gave her too many merits, which also means more responsibilities as the saying goes, "the greater the merit, the greater the responsibility."
After being idle for five years, Wu Shuang’s work intensity suddenly shot to the top, which was overwhelming to handle all at once.
In fact, during this period, all the frontline police officers and special police agents in Yanjing were unusually busy, not just Wu Shuang. But for Wu Shuang, it was the first time she was this busy in her life, with such high work intensity that it was hard for her to bear both physically and mentally.
Listening to Xiao Lin’s words, Wu Shuang felt a bit disoriented. What’s up with Xiao Lin? His tone is completely different today, unlike anything from before. When had she ever heard Xiao Lin speak so gently?
Wu Shuang brought the phone screen to her face, made sure it was Xiao Lin calling, but still asked in disbelief, "Are you Xiao Lin?"
"Yes, it’s me!" Xiao Lin’s voice was indeed much gentler compared to before.
But that’s expected. The previous calls were all about work, related to Wu Shuang’s responsibilities, so Xiao Lin naturally wouldn’t be overly polite. This time, personal and professional matters were mixed.
"Crazy!" Wu Shuang didn’t know how to respond to Xiao Lin. She just mumbled to herself and then coldly said, "Go on, Eldest Young Master Xiao, what orders do you have for this little servant again?"
"Uh... Can’t I call you when there’s nothing going on?" Xiao Lin asked back, but why did he feel so guilty? It’s like he never called her when there was nothing happening.
"Just tell me what’s going on. If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up!" Wu Shuang said coldly. Using the term "auntie" came naturally to her, but since when did he start teasing this auntie with such ease?
"I’m at Tianli Entertainment City right now, you should know that, right?" Xiao Lin said.
Wu Shuang was still a bit groggy, but as soon as she heard Tianli Entertainment City, her whole body was instantly awake. No one understood the Poison Dragon Gang, Yanjing’s second largest gang, better than Wu Shuang. However, the Poison Dragon Gang has grown so large that it involves many interests. At least thirty percent of Yanjing officials have some connection with the Poison Dragon Gang. How could she not know that Tianli Entertainment City is their everyday headquarters?
"You’re at Tianli Entertainment City? Are you trapped by the Poison Dragon Gang?" Wu Shuang surprisingly started worrying about Xiao Lin.
"Do you think that’s possible?" Xiao Lin said calmly, with a tremendous sense of confidence transmitted to Wu Shuang’s ear through the phone.
Wu Shuang was stunned and almost incredulously asked, her voice slightly trembling, "You... you didn’t take down Tianli Entertainment City, did you?" (To be continued.
