Chapter 1238: Assassination

Luan Basong had already expanded his army. Whether he was holding his breath to fight Wang Yan, increasing bargaining chips with the federal government, or maintaining stability in the jurisdiction, he indeed had reason to expand his army.

After all, his army was too collapsed. He wanted to train troops vigorously, but he couldn't improve combat effectiveness in a short time. He couldn't even meet the most basic conditions, which was to improve the treatment of soldiers. Only when the treatment was sufficient could they play with their lives to train and have combat effectiveness.

However, according to the news Wang Yan received, Luan Basong also refined his guard and an elite regiment. These were all those with improved treatment and training with their lives, belonging to the ace troops carefully built by Luan Basong.

In a place like Sanbianpo, wanting to train an elite troop enough, the expenditure was several times, ten times, even dozens of times. After all, being a soldier here, the basic treatment was not very good, and it was good enough to have food to eat. But elite troops, from allowances to diet, to equipment, to consumption during training, and handling of wounded soldiers, were all money.

It was also because of this that Wang Yan's troop strength had always been small. Supporting an army of less than 7,000 people, all trained according to the domestic infantry standard, the expenditure was quite large...

In the headquarters, Wang Yan listened to some military intelligence collected about Luan Basong, thought about it, and made arrangements.

"Dispatch the Eighth Battalion, rest during the day and move at night, sneak to Luan Basong's side, and fight freely. The only purpose is to increase the difficulty for them to clear out Luan Basong's remnants, cause more casualties, and strike their effective strength. In addition, arrange two battalions to open up logistics lines to ensure supplies for the front."

"Yes!"

The staff officer under his command responded, turned, and went out to mobilize troops and make preparations.

How could Wang Yan let Luan Basong rest? He wanted to do both. On one hand, carry out military strikes, and on the other hand, carry out internal division.

Internal division had always been done, which was the internal contradictions mentioned earlier, the purpose of which was to make their entire organization centrifugal. At the same time, peaceful evolution was also carried out.

In fact, to a certain extent, as long as Xiaomolong existed, even without Wang Yan's excessive operations, it was a peaceful evolution for other areas of Sanbianpo, and even for the entire Bomei Federation.

After all, he was advanced here, friendly to the people of Sanbianpo, letting everyone see a beautiful future, detached from drug harm, giving people education, and giving people medical care.

Even if Sanbianpo had been poisoned into the heart, and even the vast majority of people might not know what problems they had, they had no culture, no knowledge, so naturally they had no consciousness and would only think everything should be like this.

However, they were not truly stupid in the end. They always knew how safe Xiaomolong was, how to live and work in peace and contentment, and how easy it was for people there to find wives, and even the wives that were easy to find were their daughters.

This was still the people without thoughts. What about those with a little culture, a little thought, and a little ambition, but who were oppressed? If there is thought, there is action.

Under such circumstances, as long as Wang Yan sent people to spread it everywhere and beautify it, those with thoughts in Sanbianpo would all come to Wang Yan's side. The remaining bunch of bullies who broke the law and discipline wouldn't even need Wang Yan to fight them. If he secretly provoked a war, they would mess up themselves and eventually move toward extinction.

This is called the best soldier attacking the strategy, the so-called subduing the enemy without fighting.

But Wang Yan estimated that in the end, force would still have to be used, otherwise they wouldn't die fast enough. If they weren't beaten, they wouldn't be convinced and would always find various reasons to excuse themselves. If they didn't die thoroughly, Wang Yan wouldn't feel very comfortable either.

Having arranged various matters, Wang Yan left the headquarters and returned to the Fengdan Sihai Hotel.

Just arriving at the hotel, Zhang Yuquan, wearing a security uniform, ran over. He was still the security captain, but his power had become much greater. He was responsible for the security of the smuggling business. He didn't go anywhere on weekdays, just watched the big gate at the Fengdan Sihai Hotel, happy and laughing all day.

Obviously, he understood the importance of hugging a big thigh very well. Although he was watching the big gate, in fact, he was also equivalent to Wang Yan's guard captain, a proper confidant figure.

So he greeted Wang Yan by running, and came over to open the car door for Wang Yan. Parking was the work Zhang Yuquan was most willing to do; anyway, that was what Zhang Yuquan said.

"Boss, someone came earlier and pulled a cart of jade materials, saying it was sent by Luan Basong."

Wang Yan jumped out of the car, let Zhang Yuquan hold the car door.

"I know. Where are the materials? Where were they sent?"

"I watched them send them to the warehouse."

"Get busy."

Wang Yan patted Zhang Yuquan on the shoulder and swayed upstairs.

The warehouse—it was called a warehouse, but in fact, it was another suite next to the suite where Wang Yan lived long-term. But it could indeed be called a treasure house; the treasures inside were very rich.

There were some domestic antiques such as porcelain, jade, and calligraphy and paintings, as well as many jewelry, jade, and jadeite, and even some messy utensils from the local area, all stained with a little history and a little evil, such as products of some Buddhist people here.

There were also quite a few wild animal products, such as bear skin, tiger skin, tiger bone, ivory, hawksbill, etc. This was also reasonable. After all, the scale of the wild animal trading market here was relatively large, and there was no one here to manage these, and they couldn't be managed.

Just this room, if placed in the country, would be enough to be shot.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Su Su and Zhao Ziying digging through a pile of jadeite, all of which were irregular jadeite stones that had been processed.

"I want this."

Seeing Wang Yan enter, Zhao Ziying held up a piece of purple jadeite, "Dig a bracelet."

Wang Yan glanced at it: "Can make two, one for each of you, and the rest can make a few ear pendants."

Su Su was more concerned about big things: "I heard it was sent to you by Luan Basong? What does he want to do?"

"What else could it be? Our Xiaomolong is developing well. Those with consumption power in the country, I don't take them, they can eat and play well here. He is anxious and wants to restore cooperation in tourism business. Isn't this sending a gift?"

"Did you agree?"

Wang Yan muttered about the increase in cash back and the dispatch of troops to protect, etc.: "Basically, it is maximum guarantee of safety, and we earn more. There is no reason to refuse."

"Then they earned money, aren't they still going to raise troops and come back to fight us later?" Zhao Ziying raised her head.

"Then what do you say should be done?"

"Of course, fight them first, or at least cause destruction, not letting them develop so fast."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Listen to you, I will send people to make trouble later, play them to death."

"Look, I'm still useful, right? If I didn't remind you, you wouldn't know." Zhao Ziying hung on Wang Yan happily.

"Yes, you have wisdom, smarter than Su Su."

"Just her IQ, can't even compare to one of my fingers."

"If I say you are fat, you really pant." Su Su scolded her good sister with a smile.

In the warehouse full of treasures, there was the laughter of the three, harmonious and pleasant...

A few days later, Qinglong Road was very lively. There were dragon and lion dances, opera troupes, dancing from beginning to end, singing from beginning to end, and even more firecrackers booming, gongs and drums sounding, noisy and lively.

Qinglong Road was the road where the Century Gambling House was located before. Wang Yan named it.

This road had undergone multiple rounds of repairs and rectification of merchants, as well as expansion along this road. The road that was only a few hundred meters before now reached over a kilometer.

It wasn't newly built; it was just that this road wasn't short in the past, but the essence was in those few hundred meters, and there was nothing further away.

Wang Yan filled in the buildings in the gaps in the middle, planned the distribution of projects on the whole street, and thus lengthened it to over a kilometer, letting tourists patronize the shops on this street.

And an important reason why this road could be lengthened was the street lying across the end of this road. Wang Yan named that street Phoenix Street.

The whole street was nearly a kilometer long, and most of the shops were colored places such as massage parlors, hair salons, KTVs, etc. Regardless of day or night, that street was always full of girls with good looks...

On Qinglong Road, there was a casino. The source of the noise was exactly here.

On the steps at the entrance of the casino, Guess Uncle was wearing local traditional clothing, a skirt and slippers on the lower body, a colorful striped cloth shirt on the upper body, and a hollow circular hat on his head.

Behind him, Dantu, Xigou, and others were all dressed like this, properly dressed for the occasion.

Only Shen Xing was out of place. To highlight formality, he wore an ill-fitting suit and leather shoes because he didn't want to wear local ethnic clothing.

Wang Yan walked over with his hands behind his back, swaying.

"Mr. Wang, Vasali." Guess Uncle hurriedly took a few steps down the steps, putting his hands together to give the highest greeting in Sanbianpo.

"Congratulations, Guess Uncle. The casino opens, and wealth comes from all directions."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. Only with Mr. Wang's care can my casino make money."

"If you operate according to the rules of Xiaomolong, then I guarantee you will make a fortune."

"I know all the rules of Xiaomolong. Mr. Wang, don't worry, I will definitely operate properly."

Wang Yan patted Guess Uncle's arm with a smile: "Alright, get busy. I'll just watch the fun."

"Hey, just waiting for Mr. Wang to come over to unveil the plaque. Mr. Wang, please don't refuse."

"Easy to say."

So in the midst of the noise, Wang Yan appeared and held a grand unveiling ceremony. The Fengdan Sihai Hotel in Xiaomolong officially opened. The surrounding tourists and gamblers all followed in to play.

Wang Yan also went in to take a look. Guess Uncle greeted others and arranged for Shen Xing to lead the way.

"Not bad, right, Brother Yan? Newly renovated, feels better than the Century Gambling House."

"All about the same. Anyway, just be as nouveau riche as possible." Wang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the situation with a smile, "Did you get a raise?"

"Base salary 30,000, plus a little commission. This still has to thank you, Brother Yan. I know, my use to Guess Uncle and them is not big; I can't fight, can't kill. It's still because of your relationship."

"It's Guess Uncle who thinks highly of you."

"I still have a count in my heart." Shen Xing said realistically.

Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything. He looked around the casino from top to bottom, gave on-site guidance on fire rectification opinions, and then left the casino, swaying and walking on Qinglong Road, heading to the north end.

Just as he left the casino and walked a few dozen meters, he suddenly stopped his steps, reached out and pulled Zhang Yuquan, who was following him, back, and tilted his head at the same time.

The next moment, a gust of wind passed, and the bullet hit the ground, splashing some stone chips.

Wang Yan turned his head and looked in the direction the bullet came from.

That was a six-story building. It used to be a chicken coop, but now it was a hotel. In a room on the top floor facing the street, a figure was aiming with a gun, obviously wanting to fire a second shot, or wanting to come for a round of strafing. Wang Yan had already seen clearly that it wasn't a precision sniper rifle, but an assault rifle.

It was indeed so; it was only a few dozen meters away, so where would a sniper rifle be needed?

It was also at this time that a dozen people rushed up from the surroundings, taking out guns while running.

In the crowded crowd, someone saw the gun and subconsciously shouted in panic, so the crowd began to panic and became a mess...

Wang Yan smiled, wiped his waist, took out a pistol, and at the same time kicked Zhang Yuquan, who was loyally protecting the master, to a safe place.

Without aiming too much, he fired a shot at the gunman upstairs, and then accurately fired into the panicked crowd...

For a time, gunshots were loud, pedestrians scrambled to escape, and there was even a stampede...

However, it ended quickly. They hadn't even run far before the gunshots had already stopped. There were only wailing gunmen and innocent unlucky pedestrians who had been trampled.

Before long, a sharp whistle sounded, and at the same time, the installed warning loudspeaker began to play a signal, resounding through the town of Xiaomolong.

In just one minute, fully armed soldiers and police appeared around Wang Yan. In five minutes, Qinglong Road was blocked. In ten minutes, armored vehicles had already driven into the city and stopped at the intersection.

And the next step was martial law throughout the city. According to the predetermined plan, personnel from all units arrived at their posts, which took less than fifteen minutes.

Hanging up the phone with Su Su's concern, Wang Yan looked at the dozen or so gunmen on the ground who had been hit in the limbs and were unable to move. He greeted Zhang Yuquan, who was beating people to vent his anger there: "Take them back and interrogate them properly. Check them from beginning to end, who instigated them, whose orders they listened to, how they entered Xiaomolong, and the source of the guns. Once you ask clearly, no need to report. Arrest and interrogate all relevant personnel. If there is resistance, kill without mercy."

"Yes, Boss." Zhang Yuquan shouted his order, then commanded the soldiers guarding the scene to take everyone away. He rolled up his sleeves and followed, obviously not intending to let these people have a good time.

Wang Yan waved and beckoned Liu Jin, who had rushed over: "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

At this time, Liu Jin was sweating profusely and shook his head repeatedly: "Mr. Wang, I am loyal. How could I do such a thing?"

"Do a good job of appeasement, implement follow-up treatment for those trampled and shot, and restore order."

"Yes, yes, yes, definitely control it and don't let Xiaomolong get messy."

Glancing at him, Wang Yan waved his hand and then swayed away from here...

He still had to go to the intersection of Qinglong Road, where there was an office of China, and Mr. He had made an appointment to have tea with him today.

Originally, Mr. He was going to find him, but because he went to Guess Uncle's place to attend the opening ceremony and just happened to be coming out, and thinking that he hadn't set foot in the domestic office yet, he simply went over to take a look... ===== CHAPTER 1239 =====
