Chapter 1197: The End of the Wei De Family

Several cars were lined up and driving out of the city. Ever since the Wei De family moved to Denuo State, they had set up some industries here.

Outside Red Rock City, they also had a farm, with large tracts of land under their name.

Some of the elders in the family still hoped to own their own farm, and Governor Wei De satisfied this idea of theirs. Moreover, a farm... also has the benefits of a farm.

Not to mention that grain and livestock were important supplies, but one could also raise some cowboys on the farm.

In the countryside, the cowboys on the farm did not represent people who did manual labor—of course, they would actually participate in daily work.

But a more important point was that they had guns in their hands. In the wilderness of the federal countryside where there were no people, having a gun in hand meant holding the truth.

Now, the destination of Governor Wei De's younger brother's family was a farm more than one hundred kilometers away. They had to go to the farm first to stabilize things and then discuss what to do next.

There were some cowboys on the farm who could protect their safety. Next, whether it was going abroad or hiding their names, both were options that could be chosen.

Governor Wei De's younger brother's wife sat beside him, looking at him with some lack of understanding. "Is it really that dangerous?"

When her husband turned to look at her, there was a trace of impatience in his eyes, which made the lady explain cautiously, "I mean, will they really take action against us?"

Governor Wei De's younger brother nodded, his face looking terribly ugly. "Otherwise, why do you think I want to run?"

"In politics, if it's not the last moment, they won't use such means. But once they have used such means, do you know what it represents?"

His wife shook her head. "I don't know."

"It represents that they will definitely do this thing to the end. Think about those few..." He was talking about the presidents and governors, and even senators, who had been assassinated in federal history.

These people who could reach the highest level of politics were often not just one person. After they were assassinated, the federal government might have chased these assassination cases for a period of time, but soon there was no follow-up.

They would find some gunmen, and then these gunmen, for all sorts of strange reasons, assassinated those noble big figures. In the end, some of these gunmen were hanged, but some also died of old age in prison.

Everything seemed to stop at this step; no one continued to investigate deeply, and no one continued to pay attention.

What people don't know is that the political families whose important members were assassinated and died basically never had any big figures appear in the development of the following era.

Was the entire family's spiritual energy used up on those previous family politicians?

No, it was obviously not like that. There were still some people among them who performed very well, and there were still some people who were very smart, but these people basically didn't live until the time when they could bloom their own brilliance.

Most people who performed well always died after encountering various accidents.

These families gradually disappeared from people's eyes, and people also forgot those big figures who had appeared in this family and once resounded throughout the Federation.

People don't care about their current situation, don't care about whether the members of this family are all finished; they don't care at all.

In places where people can't notice, or where the focus cannot be focused, these families live very badly. Playing dumb and acting stupid is the only way for their family members to survive.

Why is it like this?

Because those political enemies who manipulated the assassination cases in the past, those hostile political families who are still active on the highest political stage of the Federation, they will not allow their former opponents to have a day to rise again.

It is even more impossible in the situation where there is unresolvable hatred between each other. As long as someone in these families performs well, then it is time for them to kill these outstanding people.

There are even some families that have completely disappeared from the world just like this.

Silently, collectively disappeared.

This kind of thing is not rare in the Federation.

Governor Wei De's younger brother had also been in contact with many things in politics, heard some rumors, and mastered some news, so he was very clear that from the moment they decided to take action against Governor Wei De, they would not allow the Wei De family to have a day to climb out of the abyss again!

The core members of the family would soon all be purged, publicly, or taken to secret places to be killed, leaving only some women, children, and old people who were not a threat to them.

If the person who decided this matter was a more cruel person, perhaps the Wei De family would be completely erased because of this. Only in this way would they not suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, half-asleep and half-awake, to see if the door was locked, to see if there were those who intended to take revenge and were waiting for an opportunity to hurt them!

He knew all this, knew what would happen, so he was in such a hurry to run away.

His wife stopped talking, but a young man sitting behind them couldn't help but speak up. "I have a party the day after tomorrow!"

"And the new semester is about to start. I don't want to change an environment, and I don't want to change a school even more!"

Governor Wei De's younger brother had always been very tolerant of his children. The reason for his tolerance was that he didn't have much time to accompany his family. It was like this when they were in Likai State.

Everyone was working hard for the family's growth, so they neglected the discipline of the children, which made him have a feeling of guilt toward the children.

Sometimes when the children didn't do well, he wouldn't blame them, which fostered a relatively self-centered, or even selfish, personality in these children.

He turned his head to look at his son. "You can open the car door and jump down from here right now, and then roll back to attend your so-called party!"

His son's face turned a bit flushed. "I promised them!"

Governor Wei De's younger brother shook his head. "If you talk nonsense one more time, I will let you understand why you have to call me Dad!"

His son obviously heard the threatening meaning in this sentence. He looked at his mother. "Look at him..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a motorcade suddenly overtook them from the left in reverse, reaching a state of being parallel to them.

Governor Wei De's younger brother's attention was immediately attracted by these people. Just as he was about to tell the driver to be careful, two submachine guns poked out from the passenger seat and the back seat of the car parallel to theirs.

He shrank his neck in terror, trying his best to lie lower. The next second, his wife, who didn't know what had happened, and his son, who had been complaining about not being able to attend the agreed-upon party, were riddled with bullets in the sound of gunfire.

The car they were riding in was not bulletproof. The bullets penetrated the car body so easily, shooting into the two of them and the driver. The entire motorcade of several cars was completely stopped in a very short time.

They parked the cars haphazardly on the road. Two captains got out of the cars. They checked the cars one by one and finally found the car Governor Wei De's younger brother was riding in.

This guy, who could even be called the number two figure in Denuo State not long ago, was so scared that he had peed himself. He knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and begged with a trembling voice, "Don't kill me..."

The two people standing in front of him looked at each other, and one of them said, "I'm very sorry, Boss didn't ask us to bring you back alive."

He raised the pistol in his hand. The moment the gun fired, Governor Wei De's younger brother fell heavily to the ground, his body beginning to twitch instinctively.

The group searched for things in the car, loaded several suitcases and some artworks into the cars separately, and brought them back.

As for the car Governor Wei De's younger brother was riding in and the accompanying cars, they were left in the wilderness by them.

The corpses were also completely burned along with a fire.

This place is far from the city. I believe that wild animals will soon come to share these unexpected joys bestowed upon them by God, and those vehicles will very likely be taken away by some highway scavengers, repaired, and sold as used cars.

There are quite a few such scavengers on the interstate highway. They drive dilapidated pickup trucks, looking for things along the way that can bring them value.

In this era, there are quite a few good things on both sides of the interstate highway, such as parts that fell off after car collisions or bumps, or empty cars left behind after being killed in crimes.

These scavengers rely on these to make money. Although they can't become rich, they can certainly get some money.

Like here, if discovered, four or five luxury cars will bring them at least ten thousand dollars in profit!

This scene almost happened inside or outside Red Rock City.

Those Wei De family members who thought they had escaped were all caught up by Lanse's people, then killed and their bodies abandoned in the wilderness.

And those who stayed in the city, feeling that the situation might not be that bad, were all taken away by the state police.

They were suspected of participating in various criminal activities. The State Court had approved search and arrest warrants for the Wei De family, and the State Prosecutor's Office had also intervened in the investigation. There was no doubt that they intended to turn the Wei De family into an ironclad case.

All direct members of the Wei De family would go to jail; some might be sent to the electric chair. Branch members would also go to jail, leaving only some women, children, and old people.

Just like the means they used to deal with those families in those years, every once in a while, someone would be injured, and someone would die.

Those who were sentenced and locked in prison after the trial would also be injured because of conflicts with fellow inmates, and eventually die of their injuries.

When the Social Party, a huge political party that had ruled the Federation for nearly thirty years, began to use fierce means for self-protection, let alone a governor, even if a president stood in front of them, they would press that president to death in the Presidential Palace!

In the afternoon, the Deputy Governor, who was temporarily acting as the head of the Denuo State government in place of Governor Wei De, resubmitted a list of congressional candidates to the State Legislature.

This list, compared to the previous one submitted by Governor Wei De, corrected some principled and basic errors. It excluded all Liberal Party candidates, and the State Legislature passed it directly with a vote of over eighty-seven percent in favor.

Next, these candidates would start participating in the state's direct election activities. They would appear in various places in Denuo State, then organize some on-site activities, have closer contact with the public, let people feel their personality charm, and then vote for them.

Of course, the most critical point is that they will promise voters to solve some problems, which is what people want.

And now, what the people of Denuo State want most is stable job opportunities and a living environment, and these are exactly what everyone can give them.

This matter had already spread throughout the Federation before dinner in the evening. Although everyone knew very well that Governor Wei De's assassination was obviously the means of the Social Party, in the absence of any evidence, they had no way to put this matter on the table.

On one hand, the Liberal Party began to look for those gunmen. It is said that a total of four gunmen fired at Governor Wei De.

On the other hand, they increased their efforts to buy and win over the Federal Party and the Labor Party.

If they couldn't kick the Social Party out of the position of holding the veto power, then they had to protect their own basic base and not let the Social Party take the opportunity to continue to expand their seats in Congress.

The entire Federation began to become lively again. The election of congressional candidates made people see the approachable side of these big figures again.

They could appear on the street and chat with ordinary people about some interesting or uninteresting topics. No wonder many voters in the Federation are keen on voters; this is indeed a very special feeling.

Those big figures who could only appear in newspapers and on television appeared by their side, even putting their arms around their shoulders and taking photos with them, and then asking them to "vote for me."

This kind of political activity of being paid attention to and treated by big figures is like a candy that people cannot refuse. Even if voters know that there may be hooks inside this candy, most of them still eat it without hesitation.

Overnight, the situation in Denuo State underwent huge changes. Lanse also gathered more members and cooperated to start attacking the remaining territories they had not controlled.

Actually, saying it this way is not entirely correct. This cannot be called an attack; it should be police-civilian cooperation.

Lanse's family members cooperated with the federal police to clean up those gang organizations, which was completely in compliance with the requirement of de-gangsterization vigorously promoted by President Porter after he took office. Denuo State walked in the forefront of other states in this regard.

The Liberal Party's conspiracy in Denuo State was thwarted. Regarding this, although they felt very regretful, they also couldn't accept it. After all, this place didn't belong to them in the first place.

The list of congressional candidates for each state had all been submitted, and there was still a period of time before the big list came out. Everyone looked particularly relaxed.

For several consecutive days, along with the gradual eradication of the Wei De family's influence within Denuo State, a shocking piece of news also began to ferment within Denuo State.

And the core figure of this matter was Governor Wei De, who was lying on a hospital bed and still relying on medical equipment to maintain his vital signs!

In the morning, the largest and most authoritative local newspaper in Denuo State, "Morning Reading," published a sensational front-page headline—"Denuo State's Largest Black Force—The Wei De Family."

The comprehensive encirclement and suppression surrounding the Wei De family officially began... ===== CHAPTER 1198 =====
