Chapter 395 - 391 Confidential Documents
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Xiong’s concerns are valid; we indeed need to consider this issue."
Zhao Zhengxiong said, "I’ve made a rough estimate. Those people in the North City District have been running gambling operations, trafficking drugs, and other illicit activities for over a week. Although it hasn’t been long, during this time, they have earned at least around twenty million."
"That much?" Nanrong Hao exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s not a lot." Ling Chen explained, "Whether it’s the casino or drugs, both are highly profitable, a sure win without any loss. Besides, the people in North City District now control three districts, the market is huge, so it’s not surprising they made this much in a short time."
"That’s right," Zhao Zhengxiong continued, "The casino has already been shut down by the police, but the drug trade in North City District is still ongoing. If we can’t cut off their source of funds, they’ll only make more money and expand their influence faster. By that time, it might not be a question of whether we can take them down; they might turn around and bite us instead."
Ling Chen looked at Zhao Zhengxiong and Jiang Hao, giving a slight smile, "Since you’ve considered this aspect, I presume you already have a solution."
Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Brother Chen, the best way is to cut off their supply. Xiong and I have already found their source of goods, but they are cunning, changing locations for each transaction. By the time we get there, they’ve already completed the deal, and we can’t find either the people or the goods. However, thanks to the insider Xiong planted, we’ve got the exact location of the next deal. Brother Chen, I know you have a good relationship with Officer Xia, so we’d like to ask for your help."
Ling Chen readily agreed, "No problem. Just give me the location of the transaction, and I’ll have Officer Xia take people to set up an ambush in advance."
"This..." Jiang Hao hesitated, glancing at Zhao Zhengxiong with an expression that seemed he had more to say but was holding back.
Seeing this, Ling Chen spoke with dissatisfaction, "What, is there something you can’t say in front of me?"
