Chapter 624: Power

These Hou Liu don't know, and the Yang Family people don't know either.

Some things are secrets known only to Yang Qing.

And he might take them to the grave.

After Long Wu, Gui Qi exerted effort.

Not long after, the conspiracy surrounding Bang Geng began to surface.

After seeing this, Hou Liu burned with rage.

"It's actually the Pingcheng Gang, those Annan people."

Now the two sides are still fighting.

Those originally coming from within the country would form the Big Circle Gang, giving rise to many violent incidents.

While those coming from Annan would form the Annan Gang.

Gangdao is mostly Mainlanders after all, and with the Big Circle Gang's deep-seated suppression like a blood feud,

(In the world, the relationship between the Big Circle Gang and Annan people's gangs has never been good, and those from the Big Circle chase them relentlessly.)

This prevents them from rising in Gangdao.

But in this parallel world, most of the people coming from the Mainland have been absorbed by Capital Gate.

Those coming from Annan face less suppression, and surprisingly they have risen.

Hou Liu told Yang Qing the situation.

Yang Qing's brows furrowed.

Because this is not right.

A bunch of mice ran into a pile of cats; you say being careful is not bad, but how dare they scheme against Yang Qing?

They actually have a reason to do this.

Yang Qing sensed a conspiracy.

In the secret room, Yang Qing and Hou Liu sat together in silence.

They remained silent.

Yang Qing was thinking about things.

Hou Liu was watching him think.

After a long while.

"This matter may have grown, dragging Bang Geng into it; if it were just about money, now it's not just about money."

"I fear someone here wants to seize this opportunity to strike at the Yang Family and Capital Gate."

"Hand over the drug clues to Capital Gate, mark out the women who were trafficked here, and send the news back to the mainland."

"As for other matters, you don't need to worry about them."

"Over the next few years, you must gradually separate the Inner Gate and Outer Gate completely."

"Thoroughly cleanse the Inner Gate."

"Send the Outer Gate slowly to all corners of the world, cooperating with Hong Gate and the Green Gang to run underground business."

Hou Liu wondered: "Shouldn't we wipe out the Pingcheng Gang?"

Yang Qing gazed into the distance.

"I fear others are waiting for us there."

"Don't underestimate them."

Yang Qing estimated that even Yingjiang's affairs are involved here.

The Yinglian people's sudden shift, internationally, is everywhere cooperating with the Rabbit.

As long as Yingjiang isn't foolish, they know the two are in cahoots.

Moreover, the Yinglian people suddenly increased their investment in the Mainland, also making Yingjiang uncomfortable.

Because Yinglian represents the entire Yinglian Federation.

The Yinglian people's shift also changed the Yinglian Federation's attitude toward the Rabbit.

In such a short time, the Rabbit has signed trade contracts with dozens of countries.

This year, they have even applied to rejoin the International Trade Organization.

Annan now not only has Mao Bear's support, but also Yingjiang's support.

Let it nauseate the Rabbit in the south.

Yingjiang colluding with the Peace River Gang is thus easy to understand.

While they ostensibly target the Yang Family, they also aim to undermine the Rabbit-Yinglian relationship.

Capital Gate and the Yang Family control every aspect of Gangdao, making its business environment safe and stable.

Once the Yang Family and Capital Gate suffer major upheaval, it will definitely greatly affect Yinglian and the Rabbit.

The Yinglian people have long been dissatisfied with Yang Qing's control of Gangdao, and now they may also be willing to see the Yang Family and Capital Gate collapse.

This would let them earn more benefits through Gangdao.

Hou Liu thought for a moment, feeling that Yang Qing shouldn't bear everything alone.

"Since it's inconvenient for us to step forward, let others take action."

Yang Qing shook his head.

"The Peace River Gang, coming from Annan, possesses many heavy weapons."

"Other gangs, due to our Capital Gate's development, have not developed smoothly."

"They won't dare to provoke the Peace River Gang."

Hou Liu thought it made sense; now all the societies in Gangdao combined still can't match Capital Gate.

Although their development is relatively peaceful, these people still harbor considerable resentment toward Jingmen.

Not throwing stones into a well is already good enough; do you still expect them to sacrifice their own interests?

"More and more people are coming from the Mainland; since we can't act, let their old rivals do it."

"I want to support them in establishing the Greater Circle Gang."

"Let them deal with the Pingchuan Gang."

"On our own turf, we still let him bully us."

Yang Qing may not think this is good, but it's not a bad method either.

That means Gangdao might see some serious incidents.

I hope the Hong Fu government won't get too troubled.

His opponent is still Yingjiang.

Bang Geng, the Yang family children's harem, plus the Eden Garden, etc. —to ordinary people these might be secrets, but to Yingjiang they're probably not secret at all.

These are all loopholes they can exploit.

After Hou Liu left.

Yang Qing summoned all his family members to discuss the Yang family's loopholes and devise a PR plan.

Only then did Yang Qihang get the chance to access deeper aspects of the Yang family.

The Eden Garden actually belongs to our own family.

The Eden Garden's video tapes can be said to have sold worldwide.

At the very least, it can bring the company billions of returns each year.

Also there's Jingmen, the outer gate of Jingmen, the drug industry chain…

Yang Fan felt his scalp go numb…

But he also saw the problem.

"Dad, the Yang family controls so many highly profitable industries, yet we lack our own armed forces."

"Other families in the world, whether deeply or superficially, are either connected to the military-industrial complex or to mercenary and security companies."

"And we only have Great Wall Security."

"It does not involve mercenaries or military missions."

"This is our weakness."

"Our deterrence is insufficient."

"This time Yingjiang can move our entire Yang family by using just a small Pingchuan Gang."

"If we had our own military company."

"Even if we gave the Pingchuan Gang ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare scheme against our Yang family."

Yang Qing let out a sigh.

How could he not know these?

But this is taboo.

"You have strong armed forces—what do you want to do?"

"I'm afraid not only the Mainland, but also the Yinglian people won't feel at ease."

"We're not in the Western world; here, military power is taboo."

"Not only Gangdao, but the Mainland also won't tolerate us."

Yang Qihang and Yang Fan exchanged a glance.

"Then let's support others in establishing a mercenary organization."

Yang Qing still shook his head.

"Once military power is uncontrolled, it will cause many outrageous acts that anger heaven and resent people."

"If the Yang family gets involved, it will only be harmful, not beneficial."

Yang Qihang is obviously very interested in mercenaries.

"Then we'll support a puppet."

"That should work, right?"

Yang Qing gave a hollow laugh.

"Behind mercenary organizations are always states."

"We can't make it work by ourselves."

"Do you know Yingjiang's GPS? This equipment can only be owned by the state."

"No one will sell to us as a private organization."

"And the difference between a mercenary organization with GPS and one without is huge."

"This is warfare of the new era—not the past when a few guns could form an armed unit."

"Where are we supposed to get these? From Yingjiang? Given Yingjiang's current attitude toward us, what's the difference between that and suicide?"

"Rather than develop mercenaries, we should develop security."

"Once substitute new equipment appears, we'll then develop toward mercenaries."

"Of course, it's best to cooperate with the state."

"This can serve as our goal."
