Chapter 1217 - 1146 The Clumsy Way_2
Liu Jinghui half-explained, "Even if we find the drug manufacturing plant, we might not necessarily find the undercover agent; the two are separate."
"Very likely. The people at the drug manufacturing sites, especially domestically, aren’t necessarily very high-level. Often, just a few people can set up a makeshift operation. Drug users aren’t very picky either; they don’t care much about low purity or impurities—that’s why they die quickly." Yuan Bomian said this, and surprisingly smiled, "The Jianyuan Group you took down was a rare genuine drug manufacturing factory in the country. When Jianyuan collapsed, the price of related products skyrocketed from a few hundred yuan per gram to a maximum of 60,000 yuan."
"60,000 yuan per gram?" Liu Jinghui hadn’t paid attention to this aspect.
Yuan Bomian solemnly nodded, "Addicts will always need to use, especially when such a large manufacturing plant like Jianyuan collapses suddenly, creating a massive shortage. The price over ten thousand yuan was actually an enticement to get drug hoarders to release some stock; it was an act of desperation."
When talking about the Jianyuan Group, Yuan Bomian’s gaze toward Jiang Yuan changed.
Anyone who has ever captured a drug dealer knows how thick the firewall around these drug lords can be—how wide the firebreaks are built. And Jiang Yuan’s takedown of the Jianyuan Group was not without its challenges. Not only did he tussle with them numerous times, but he also narrowly avoided being run over by a dump truck.
If it weren’t for Jiang Yuan’s already established reputation and the strong support from the police force, it’s hard to say how things would have turned out.
Moreover, it wasn’t Jiang Yuan’s first time taking down a drug syndicate. The "Crystal Cruiser," which often appeared in anti-drug intelligence, was also taken down under the guise of "Poison Capture Net" due to Jiang Yuan’s investigation on Su Island.
