Chapter 60: Internal Strife

Luo Tianhong recognized the identity of the person who had arrived and immediately realized why the police operation tonight had been so swift; someone must have tipped them off.

Following behind Lao E were over a dozen gunmen.

Lao E did not waste words, swinging a fist as large as a bowl directly at Luo Tianhong, who, having long since run out of bullets, raised his hand to strike back.

"Slap!"

Fist collided with fist, emitting a crisp sound.

"Urgh!"

Luo Tianhong felt a burst of excruciating pain; the bones within that arm had shattered into several pieces under this single blow, and his entire arm hung limp as he knelt halfway on the ground, cold sweat streaming down.

"Oh?"

"A bit interesting!"

Lao E wore a look of surprise; Luo Tianhong's physical constitution was indeed quite good, as an ordinary person's entire arm would have exploded from that punch.

"You should be grateful; my Big Brother said to spare your life and invite you back to be a guest," Lao E said with a faint smile.

They brought Luo Tianhong back to the secret dark room in Guojun Building.

Luo Tianhong spat out a mouthful of blood; having just been struck by Lao E's punch, his entire arm was ruined, and now any movement brought waves of intense pain.

He looked at Chen Jiajun with hateful eyes: "Liangzai Jun, you bastard!"

Chen Jiajun revealed a smile: "Luo Tianhong, do you know why I spared your life?"

"What other tricks do you want to play!" Luo Tianhong said stubbornly.

Lao E spoke up: "Big Brother, why not just finish him off."

"Keep him alive and let him see clearly how Zhongxinyi is being taken down by me," Chen Jiajun said, then walked toward the door without looking back.

On this side, the police did not choose to arrest Lei Meizhen immediately; after Liao Zhizong and several high-ranking officers discussed it, they decided to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

But with the loss of several Police Constables, it was impossible for the police to do nothing.

Central.

At the busiest large Bar of Zhongxinyi, Liao Zhizong, wearing a suit, led dozens of Police Constables inside, holding his credentials high in his hand and shouting loudly.

"Turn on the lights!"

"License check!"

The Anti-Triad Unit Police Constables, familiar with the routine and moving in an orderly fashion, immediately turned on the Bar's main lights and shut off the music, with a young Police Constable shouting: "Men to the left, women to the right!"

"Everyone in the restrooms, get out here immediately!"

The thugs guarding the Bar stood up one after another, tapping wine bottles with their hands, because the Dragon Head Big Brother of Zhongxinyi, Lian Haolong, was playing mahjong upstairs. With their Big Brother present, they naturally could not let their momentum weaken.

"What, you want to rebel?" Liao Zhizong was completely unafraid of this group of Majai.

For a moment, the Anti-Triad Unit Police Constables and the Zhongxinyi thugs stood in a standoff.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

A rhythmic tapping sound came from the stairs to the side.

"Liao Zhizong, what the hell are you doing!"

Lian Haolong was wearing a black suit, fierce like a tiger ready to pounce at any moment, full of imposing power.

"Just saw you were so lonely tonight, so I came over to keep you company. After all, Brother Long, you lost quite a few men tonight! I have dozens of cars parked downstairs; do you want me to take you all back to sober up?"

Liao Zhizong was not at all afraid of the powerful aura radiating from Lian Haolong, instead revealing a smile.

"Bang!"

Smashing bottles as a signal, the Majai guarding the Bar all at once smashed their wine bottles on the ground.

Lian Haolong stared at Liao Zhizong with blood-red eyes, pointed at Liao Zhizong, and roared in a low voice: "If you have the guts, arrest me! Come on!"

"Brother Long, if you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about? We are just conducting a normal, temporary inspection."

"It's been a long time since I've been here; I've missed it."

"And so, I specifically came over to take a look today."

Liao Zhizong pointed at Lian Haolong, smiling broadly.

Lian Haolong clapped his hands and laughed: "Good, since the Police want to search us, then everyone cooperate obediently; we are all good citizens!"

"But if you don't find anything, I will definitely complain until you're finished!"

Turning, Lian Haolong's eyes turned fierce, like a lion, and he let out a furious roar.

At this moment, his heart was bleeding.

In order to finish off A Wu, Guo Ziheng had been arrested, and Luo Tianhong had not yet returned; only the sharp-witted Luo Dingfa had called him to report that he was safe.

He had thought the plan was flawless, never expecting the police to react in time.

Liao Zhizong put his hands on his hips and waved his hand: "Search everyone!"

After the police seized Zhongxinyi's last drug transaction, the venue had naturally been out of stock for a long time, so there was naturally no big harvest tonight.

Liao Zhizong understood this point well; taking a few addicts who had Laundry Powder hidden on them, he returned to the Police Station like a general who had won a great battle.

Lian Haodong hurried back to the venue: "Big Brother, something happened?!"

"Aheng has been arrested. By the way, has Ahong returned?"

Seeing his younger brother, Lian Haolong's furious aura slowly subsided, and he revealed a trace of a smile.

"I've been calling him, but I haven't been able to get through," Luo Dingfa said, holding a mobile phone as he approached the two.

"Bastard!"

"Who exactly is dealing with us!"

"You all send men out to get information immediately!"

The answer was already self-evident; Luo Tianhong was in grave danger, and having lost three great generals in succession, Lian Haolong roared in anger.

The goods had been seized by the Police Station, but losing a sum of money meant nothing to Lian Haolong.

Losing three great generals, however, was something he could not bear.

Originally, he had intended to take down Chen Jiajun in one fell swoop after quietly dealing with A Wu.

But with the loss of three great generals, he had to become cautious.

Once he and Chen Jiajun engaged in a large-scale gang confrontation, he feared the Police Station would intervene, and societies such as the Eastern Star and the Number Gang would also take the opportunity to sweep his venues.

"Brother Long, calm your anger; Ahong is surely a lucky man who will be blessed with good fortune, let's wait a little longer."

At this moment, Liang Yuelian also hurried back.

Lian Haolong exhaled a puff of Cigar smoke and said with a look of tenderness: "That is all we can do, let's wait for now. By the way, how much money do we have in our accounts? In a few days, I will have Si Shu come forward to handle the bribes."

Hearing this, Liang Yuelian's face stiffened for a moment, and she replied: "I understand, I will go make the arrangements."

In the darkness, no one noticed the expression on her face.

……

The next day.

Gaorfuqiuchang.

Luo Dingfa was wearing a polo shirt and a baseball cap: "Sister Susu, you like this too?"

Liang Yuelian swung a club and said with a smile: "How would I know how to do this? I just learned it from those wealthy tycoons. There is no one else here, so it can be used to discuss secrets."

She handed the club to the caddy and said: "Look, such a large course, only the two of us; we can talk as we walk, and absolutely no one can eavesdrop."

As she spoke, she strolled along, with Luo Dingfa following closely behind, "Unless you or I are wearing microphones."

"Isn't there a type of microphone that can pick up sound from far away?" Luo Dingfa gestured with his fingers.

"Yes, yes, yes, and there are spy satellites above; Afa, you've been watching too many movies!"

Liang Yuelian could not help but laugh.

At the same time, her smile faded and she said sternly: "So, have you thought it through?"

Luo Dingfa had also been involved in using the company's accounts to privately purchase a batch of goods; the two of them were now grasshoppers on the same string.

"We have no choice at all!" Luo Dingfa shook his head: "Why should we be the ones to pay this money? Shouldn't it be Si Shu who pays this amount to handle the bribes?"

Chen Liyu was not just a simple financier for Zhongxinyi; he also held shares in many of Zhongxinyi's businesses.

"The money for bribes has always been paid by us, Zhongxinyi. To pay bribes, we have to use black money, and then deduct Fourth Uncle's share from it; it has always been this way." Liang Yuelian wore a bitter smile.

Luo Dingfa walked forward with his hands in his pockets, silent and frowning: "Is there any news about Tianhong?"

After a long while, Liang Yuelian shook her head and said: "There are no clues at all. Brother Long has suffered a great loss this time, and we must immediately come up with the money to fill the gap, otherwise, if we... Si Shu..."

Liang Yuelian did not finish the second half of the sentence.
