Chapter 1215: No Way Out
Leonardo put down the phone in his hand and returned to his recliner somewhat unhappily. He casually picked up a high-quality blanket to cover his legs, picked up his pipe, and took a puff.
The rich cigarette accompanied by the smell of spices made his mood a little better. He took a big puff, and the thick smoke filled every place in his mouth like a solid.
It was like drinking a big mouthful of water and then inhaling it into the lung lobes.
No wonder people like the feeling of being filled. This feeling of being filled makes everyone feel comfortable, at ease, and have a sense of security.
The slight stimulation brought by nicotine was no longer so intense, but he still had some feelings.
He had a premonition, a very bad premonition, that everything was sliding toward an uncontrollable abyss.
On the other side of the phone, Christopher also put down the phone. He was cursing in his mouth. He didn't like Leonardo. If he didn't need this old guy to protect him, he wouldn't deal with this kind of greedy and stingy old thing for even a day!
Now the gunmen sent from his side couldn't be relied upon. Before when he called, Leonardo told him that the gunmen he sent were absolutely top-notch and could definitely solve Lansi's trouble.
He blew a cow, and he blew the cow broken. Now Christopher has to bear Lansi's anger.
He knew too well what kind of person this was. As long as he couldn't kill him, he would pounce like a starving beast and bite hard!
He paced back and forth a few steps. Honestly, part of his fear of Lansi stemmed from Alberto and Paul. In other words, his fear of Paul and dissatisfaction with Alberto in the past had all converged on Lansi because of their deaths.
In his eyes, Lansi was an avenger, not his cousin in name, Francisco.
That little thing couldn't pose any threat to him at all. The only one who could make him feel danger and threat was Lansi.
Now he only hoped that the stupid gunmen Leonardo sent over didn't know he was Christopher. After all, he claimed to be "Camilo Bianchi," a member of the Bianchi family.
Of course, sitting and waiting for death was not his habit. He pushed open the office door and snapped his fingers at the subordinates who were standing or sitting outside the door, or who looked like they were not good things further away, signaling them to follow him into the office.
The office was soon crowded with more than ten people. As the largest liquor supplier in South Ya'an State, it was normal to have these people.
He sat in that wide chair and looked at these people. "We have encountered a little trouble now. The gunmen from the old home said big words. They didn't handle Lansi, and they might have even been caught."
"We can't place our hope on them being able to keep the secret of who their employer is, so we need to be prepared to face the attack of the Lansi family."
He looked at the person he relied on most in the crowd, who was about the same as him, both "sons-in-law" of the Bianchi family. If he had read books similar to another world, he would have a deep sense of substitution.
But it was a pity that he hadn't read it, so he couldn't find that kind of sense of substitution, and he couldn't learn the brainless ways of solving problems in the books.
"From now on, I need you to recruit more people to protect our safety."
"Not just me, but everyone, the manpower around everyone must be doubled, and there are people patrolling at night. This is not a joke with you."
"I know Lansi, and I know the style of the Lansi family. Their retaliation will definitely come, very fierce, and fast!"
"Only by blocking the first wave can we enter a seesaw confrontation with them. If the first wave can't be blocked..."
He curled his lips and didn't say the consequences of not being able to block it, because everyone knew.
If it can't be blocked, there is only a dead end.
"Our liquor transportation also needs to send more people. Our bars, our warehouses, everything related to us, all need to send more people."
"Some liquor supplies in relatively remote places, stop temporarily. If they ask you for liquor, let them come and pull it themselves. You can give them a preferential price."
"During this time, you must pay attention to safety. If you feel anything is wrong, report it to me in time."
His fingers poked on the table. "Unlike others, they still have a way out. If they lose everything here, they can still return to the island, or go to other places."
"We have no way out. If we lose everything here, we lose our greatest value. Even if we can return to the island, our days won't be very good!"
"Think about your life now, think about your past life. If you lose these, what are you?"
"Think about it, and then go do things!"
"Tony, you stay."
When everyone was almost gone, Christopher lit a cigarette. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside.
His first half of his life was almost completely covered by Paul's shadow. Pain, jealousy, hatred, all kinds of negative emotions tortured him.
It took him more than thirty years to find a life that truly belonged to him. He would not allow such a hard-won life to slip from his hands!
Tony, the guy who was also a son-in-law of the Bianchi family, stood behind him. "I have something I need you to do!" He turned his head to look at Tony, who also knew the seriousness of this matter. He nodded. "What do you need me to do?"
Christopher turned and continued to look at the beautiful scenery outside. "Prepare a sum of money, use a briefcase to pack it, a briefcase of one hundred thousand dollars, prepare two million first."
"In addition, see if there are any people in the old home who are willing to fight for money, and recruit some."
"If the gun can't kill him, then change to a bomb. I don't believe the bomb can't kill him!"
Tony swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he heard Christopher's somewhat crazy words. "Duoer, using explosives in the Federation will attract the attention of the Federal Government. Should we... be low-key?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Christopher turned around and stared at him fiercely. "Low-key?"
"Fuck, Tony!"
"FaQ, Tony!"
"Do you understand what you are saying?"
"Low-key?"
He walked to Tony's side and poked his chest hard with the hand holding the cigarette. "We are facing the most fucking brutal gang in the Federation, the Lansi family. You ask me to be low-key, how can I be low-key?"
"Look at how he handled the Perez family. If we are low-key and bury our heads in the sand, then the next time we see the sky, it will be when we are lying on the execution platform!"
"Must get rid of Lansi as soon as possible, so I say, use dead soldiers, those who can hold explosives and die with Lansi. Even if they investigate, they can't find us."
"After all, the first batch of people who assassinated Lansi were sent by Leonardo."
At this time, Tony suddenly realized something. He looked at this somewhat unfamiliar man in front of him with disbelief and surprise.
"You...", he was somewhat confused. When did Christopher become so smart?
Also, what did he mean by saying these things?
Perhaps it was because he noticed the question Tony wanted to ask. Christopher walked to his side and hugged his neck hard. "Brother, when you were in Sumuli, think about whether your days were good or not?"
"Do you still want to return to those days?"
"I tell you, I don't believe it. Whoever wants me to return to that kind of life, I will kill him!"
"Even Leon can't do it!" "Life is our own, we must be responsible for ourselves!"
He thought about his experiences over the years, especially the day he killed Paul. Fate had already ended in front of him. If there were no accidents, his fate would be to die in Paul's arms, responsible and repentant for the things he had done.
But he overturned fate, he rewrote his fate. When he gathered the courage to take that key step, everything changed!
He believed that this time was the same. As long as he overturned fate again and rewrote his fate, the future would become better than it is now!
Tony seemed to be infected by his tone and confidence. A smile also appeared on his face. "I will make all preparations to ensure there are no accidents!"
Christopher patted his shoulder hard twice. "The future is ours!"
He then asked Tony to do things immediately. He didn't know how much time he had, so he must be as fast as possible, before Lansi made a move on them, solve Lansi first.
When Christopher was thinking about Lansi, Lansi was chatting with Francisco.
Francisco, who was already in his twenties, looked very handsome. He was 70% similar to Paul in appearance, at least he still lacked the kind of temperament on Paul, the temperament of a gang tycoon.
This kind of temperament has to be brewed through fighting, blood, and death. Now Francisco is still a little bit short.
"I heard that the person who attacked you might be Duoer's person." His eyes carried exploration, a trace of excitement, and the hatred hidden behind all this!
Lansi considered for a while and nodded. "Yes, they have a relationship with Christopher, but besides him, the one who really sent these people was Leonardo."
Francisco was very familiar with this name, because if it weren't for the intervention of the Bianchi family, Alberto and the others would have brought Christopher back from Sumuli long ago.
It was also because of the intervention of the Bianchi family that Alberto and the others stayed on Sumuli Island forever.
This is double hatred!
"This dog-raising thing...", he squeezed out such a sentence from his teeth, and then looked up at Lansi. "Uncle Lansi, is there anything I can help with?"
"I hope more than anything that I can avenge my father Paul and my uncle Alberto, no matter what the price is!"
Seemingly looking at his eyes, he saw the bone-deep hatred and the flame of anger in the depths of his eyes.
He considered for a while and nodded slowly. "You are a Sumuli person. They obviously trust you more than they trust me. Perhaps you can find out the news about Christopher's side now."
Sumuli people are united and exclusive. They don't believe in anyone other than Sumuli people, whether it is Federation people or anyone else. Even if they have a good relationship with some Federation people, these Federation people are very hard to truly integrate into them.
Secret parties, associations, they only believe in their own people with the same bloodline.
Some news that Lansi couldn't find out, as a Sumuli person, and the head of the Pasiletu family who is doing quite well in the Federation, Francisco could easily find out.
This is equivalent to... telling Lansi is equivalent to betraying their own people; they are traitors.
But they told Francisco, this is an internal contradiction, not betrayal, just standing in line.
Francisco nodded hard, and there was a trace of smile on his face. "I will figure things out."
He said and paused. "I have another willful request, Uncle Lansi. I hope that if we can catch Christopher, please allow me to cut off his head with my own hands and use it to sacrifice to my father."
"If one day, we can kill Leonardo, then I also hope that I can personally cut off his head and put it in front of Uncle Alberto's grave."
Lansi didn't refuse. "I promise you, this is what they owe you!"
With Francisco's joining, the speed of progress indeed accelerated. Sumuli people have connections, just like the old doctor calling his old friend in New Jincheng to ask.
Sumuli people in Laizhou also have relatives and friends living in South Ya'an State on the West Coast. Just one phone call, they can learn some news about the liquor sales over there now.
Christopher did do quite well. For one thing, the economic development of South Ya'an State is not as good as the East Coast, and the scale and ferocity of local gangs are definitely not as good as the East Coast. There is a gap.
The most important thing to maintain the scale and combat effectiveness of gangs is money. Before the prohibition order was implemented, the biggest economic income of local gangs was the sex industry and extortion, and there was also human trafficking.
After the prohibition order was implemented, everyone knew that selling liquor was a huge profit, but they lacked sources of goods in their hands. Under these circumstances, Christopher, who brought a large amount of liquor from Sumuli to here, caused a crushing defeat to them.
So in South Ya'an State, the name "Camilo Bianchi" is still very loud. Many people know that a big figure has emerged among the Sumuli people.
Messages about this "Mr. Camilo" gathered in Francisco's hands, and he was also full of energy!
He waited for this day for too long. His father's hatred, Alberto's hatred, were torturing his heart all the time. Finally, there was a chance to avenge himself, and he would not miss these things!
Of course, life is not just about revenge, there are other things.
Lansi's assassination actually had no direct connection with those who opposed Lansi within Denuozhou, but magically, those who obviously resisted Lansi and opposed Lansi suddenly chose to compromise silently.
Maybe they were worried that Lansi would frame this matter on them. Facing a person who might overturn the table at any time and not reason with you, and you have no way to deal with him, compromise might be the choice that normal people would make.
Things progressed very quickly, and everything within the entire Denuozhou soon achieved the effect Lansi wanted.
Either cooperate with Lansi, and everyone forms a win-win situation.
Or, shut up and watch others earn the money that should have belonged to them.
Everything in the state was on the right track, and the cooperation between each link was very smooth.
Sometimes Lansi felt that the shot by the gray-haired man was very good. One shot shot away a lot of trouble and saved him a lot of time.
In April, the President officially began to preside over the work of the Federation. After he took office, he announced the amnesty of some Liberal Party members' crimes for the first time.
This kind of thing is actually very normal. The Social Party President would also do it if it were their turn to win next time.
Sometimes the "President" role doesn't look like a politician with normal emotions and online IQ at all, but more like a willful child, doing whatever he wants.
Pardoning some Liberal Party members made public opinion have some negative views on him. Perhaps to continue to maintain his decent persona, he submitted a proposal to the Federal Congress to build a new federal internal security department.
There was nothing he could do about the Federal Bureau of Investigation. On this issue, not only the Social Party was firmly opposed, but even the Federal Party stood on the side of the Social Party. It was very difficult for them to impeach the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with the approval of the majority, and then replace him with their own people.
If all power institutions and law enforcement agencies were under the control of the Liberal Party, then no one could guarantee what the future would become.
Federal politicians, including some voters, are very persistent about the separation of powers. They believe that only by separation of powers can the long-term governance, justice, equality, and freedom of the Federation be guaranteed.
Senator Cleveland called to ask about Lansi's injury and chatted with him about this issue. The Social Party is highly likely to be unable to refuse the President's request. They can come up with some chips for trading and compromise, and are willing to retain the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In exchange, the Social Party has to let them establish a new law enforcement department, but there is a prerequisite, which is that they cannot overstep their authority.
Senator Cleveland told Lansi that it is highly likely that this new department will run in parallel with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is a competitive relationship.
The two sides will highly overlap in many aspects. Whoever does better will gain greater power. The means of political struggle have been extended again and expressed in another form.
No one knows whether this new department will take Lansi as the first investigation object after it is established. Senator Cleveland asked him to cut off some unnecessary criminal businesses as much as possible.
Of course, the liquor business cannot be lost. After all, this is the most profitable business, and the Social Party also gains the most benefits from it! ===== CHAPTER 1216 =====
