Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 122 Trouble Arose

Zhang Dabiao trembled and said, "Your... Excellency, what level do you wish to achieve?"

It depends on what result he wants, so it would be convenient for him to proceed, and some things are not that easy.

Lieyang had cooperation with many important figures in Xingcheng, and it could be said that his network of contacts was very extensive.

As long as they were important figures, they feared death, and to avoid death, they needed their protection.

Therefore, the network of contacts they controlled was even wider than that controlled by ordinary large groups.

If Lieyang were to have an accident, these powerful figures behind him would never stand idly by.

"To make Juling Group fall apart."

Poison!

After the devil uttered these words, this word popped into his mind.

In Great Xia, amounts exceeding fifty grams are punishable by imprisonment for 15 years or more, life imprisonment, or death, along with confiscation of property.

However, under their operations, it was highly likely to be... the death penalty!

"The current situation of Juling Group in Xingcheng, if they are arrested for this, Meihua Group will definitely make a move, and then Juling Group will definitely fall apart."

Zhang Dabiao said with certainty.

The devil shook his head, "This is not something I should consider. My orders are to make Juling Group fall apart."

"I understand."

After speaking, a sharp cold glint appeared on Zhang Dabiao's neck. The devil squatted down and warned, "Remember, I am more powerful now than before. If I find out you betray me, you and your family will die!"

Drops of cold sweat trickled down Zhang Dabiao's forehead. Fear appeared in his eyes, and he prostrated himself on the ground, saying, "I know, I know."

After an unknown amount of time, he heard no sound. He cautiously looked up. The office was empty, and he finally stood up.

"It's truly terrifying. Lord Devil is even more terrifying than before. But does the fall of Mobei Prison signify that the Dark Giants have taken action?"

...

Ye Longlin was naturally unaware of what had happened in Lieyang.

He was not a god and could not know everything. The information reported by Xuan Niao was also about this group of devils.

"According to intelligence, over a thousand people have entered Xingcheng. Analysis of the transmitted photos indicates a 90% probability of them carrying weapons, which will definitely cause social unrest in Xingcheng!"

"This matter has already been reported to the Highest Department Consular. This is a document issued by the Highest Department Consular, ordering us to resolve all armed groups invading our country. Their actions are a provocation to the dignity of Great Xia!"

Ye Longlin looked at the document and nodded, not saying much.

If it were in another place, Xuan Niao's actions would have already involved overstepping authority, but it was normal for him here.

The Four Diamond Kings of the Dragon Pavilion had the qualification to contact the Highest Department Consular directly, and this matter was mentioned by Ye Longlin himself when he entered the Highest Department.

This was to prevent him from being unable to pass on messages if he died.

"Order all soldiers of the Dragon Pavilion to take over the Xingcheng Garrison and begin preparations for war. At the same time, order the Director of the Dragon Observation Bureau and the Xingcheng Garrison Department to convene a meeting. Yuan Gang, you will preside over this meeting."

Yuan Gang was surprised. Such matters were usually presided over by the boss himself, so why was he being asked to do it now?

Ye Longlin seemed to see his confusion and smiled faintly, "Someone has to be bait to lure them out. You take charge of the overall situation, I'll go fishing."

With that, Yuan Gang understood but still hesitated, "But boss, your safety..."

Ye Longlin waved his hand, "I can beat a hundred of you."

Yuan Gang coughed, "Boss, Xuan Niao is still here, don't say it so bluntly."

Xuan Niao glared, "Why aren't you hurrying off to do your work?"

Yuan Gang quickly ran off.

After he left, Xuan Niao's eyes emitted a chilling aura, "Boss, there must be someone behind this matter, but we can't find them now. The only ones I can think of are the Three Dark Giants. Only the Three Giants among the Dark Giants have such power. They have the ability to mobilize all mercenaries and assassins. We suffered significant losses at their hands before."

Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and squinted, "I know what you want to say, but without evidence, don't make wild guesses."

Xuan Niao's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, saying, "I understand."

Two days later, Yuan Gang returned with a grim expression.

During these two days, Yuan Gang had gathered all the defensive forces in Xingcheng, maintaining an outward appearance of relaxation but strictness, ready to be deployed at any time. However, there was no news, which began to cause dissatisfaction among many.

And on this morning, a piece of news arrived that shook the temporary command center.

Lin Tian'ai used a delivery vehicle to transport drugs, with a weight exceeding one kilogram. Furthermore, a list was found within the drugs; this list belonged to a drug lord that the Nan Province Dragon Observation Bureau had been wanting to investigate for a long time.

This matter immediately caused a stir, and even the Highest Department sent people to investigate.

Public opinion exploded almost instantly. Juling Group was in precarious straits. Meihua Group made a strong move, targeting Juling Group's stock. The stock price plummeted to freezing point, and the stock exchange was in an uproar, with everyone selling off shares.

"This matter is a conspiracy. From the time Sister-in-law was arrested to now, it has been less than two hours. Even if people from the capital received the news, it would be in the afternoon. It's impossible for them to act within two hours. Moreover, judging from public opinion and the stock market, the reaction could not have been this fast. They took advantage of a time difference."

Yuan Gang said in a low voice, his eyes filled with anger, while Xuan Niao's face was pale.

Everything had become clear.

Someone had used their own intelligence network to transmit false information, creating a false impression, leading them to misjudge the information and believe that the devils and others were going to attack Xingcheng. In reality, the devils and others were merely diverting attention, and the true game was still centered on Juling Group.

"Someone wants to put Sister-in-law to death, and their target is likely you."

Yuan Gang swallowed, this matter had truly blown up.

One kilogram of drugs!

In Great Xia, anything over fifty grams was already punishable by life imprisonment or the death penalty, and now with one kilogram, there was no need to say more, it would definitely be a severe sentence!

Ye Longlin's expression also gradually turned grim. He looked north, towards the direction of the capital.

"Who came down from the capital?" he asked in a low voice.

Yuan Gang clenched his fist, "I don't know. I only know the leader of the investigation team is surnamed Ye."

It seemed to be a member of the Ye family.

"Ye Xingchen isn't that foolish. If he really did this, then he would be colluding with armed groups, and it would be impossible for him to be elected to the Five Decisions. Aside from Uncle Fu, there must be other subordinates of his in Xingcheng. Find out for me, I want to know who it is!"

Xuan Niao nodded, "Yes."

"Make arrangements. I want to see Lin Tian'ai."

Yuan Gang looked troubled, "Boss, Lin Tian'ai is currently detained and cannot be seen. Once you meet her, you will be isolated and may not be able to participate in this matter."

Ye Longlin looked at him and said word for word, "This is an order!"
