261. Chapter 258: Whose Liquor?

The ringing of the phone interrupted the conversation between the mayor and Lawyer Aosen. He looked at the phone for a while and picked it up. This was a call to his private number; it must be something important.

"This is Xideni."

"It's me, Dai Er. I got an important piece of intelligence: there is liquor worth hundreds of thousands stored in a warehouse on the wharf."

The mayor reorganized the words for him. "Smuggled liquor."

Director Dai Er immediately understood. "Yes, smuggled liquor. Do you think we should take action against this batch of liquor?"

The mayor thought for a while. "Why not?"

"Isn't this the good opportunity we have been looking for?"

"Give them a heavy blow, let them know this is not their Jincheng, this is the Federation's Jincheng!"

"Wait for my call. Before giving them another blow, we also have to be well prepared."

Afterward, he talked for a few more sentences, indicating that he would find a way to let the Congress pay attention to this side in advance. With the attention of the Congress, local stubborn forces, besides bowing their heads, can only bow their heads.

In front of the Congress, these people actually have no so-called "weight" at all!

After hanging up the phone, the mayor looked at Lawyer Aosen. Lawyer Aosen was communicating with him about some work and other aspects.

"Currently, the industries we control are almost all in a state of suspension. It's not that there are no guests, but that their means have affected the business."

"Besides that, Ailike's situation is a bit bad. He was scared out of his wits by Lansi, hiding in the villa all day and not willing to go out, and his dependence on painkillers has become more serious."

"I asked my doctor friend, and once the mainstream painkillers currently popular are used multiple times, it is very likely to produce dependence."

"They currently don't have relevant research on dependence and withdrawal."

"You know, medical groups hope that everyone uses their drugs in large doses every day. This kind of dependence is money to them; they won't actively solve this problem."

The mayor rubbed his temples. "Dai Er found a warehouse on the wharf that stores a lot of liquor, goods worth hundreds of thousands!"

Lawyer Aosen's body seemed to straighten up a bit. He thought for a while, a bit hesitant. "Goods worth hundreds of thousands, such a huge loss, will they... use a risky method to solve it?"

The mayor picked up the phone again. "So I have to make a call first..."

The call was made to the desk of Maike (representative of the Likalai State Socialist Party). The mayor's impression of Maike was not bad, mainly because the mayor gave quite a lot on this side.

Everyone hopes they can have a generous friend. The mayor satisfied this little wish of Maike; anyway, he didn't need to spend his own money.

"Hi, the weather in the capital is good today. I hope the weather in Jincheng is the same as here."

"Then I should ask, is there anything I can do for you?"

Maike was very lively, and the mayor didn't muddle with him. "We discovered smuggled liquor worth hundreds of thousands on the wharf, but this involves some local stubborn forces."

"Maike, you know, the situation in Jincheng is very complex, and Dai Er and the others have already encountered two bomb attacks."

"I am worried that there will be a third, or a fourth."

"Smuggled liquor worth hundreds of thousands can already make them go crazy, so I am not sure if we should ferret out this batch of liquor."

Although the mayor couldn't see Maike at this time, he could imagine the change in Maike after knowing this news.

Not annoyance, but excitement!

What the Congress needs is such a typical case. This kind of confrontation is always constantly escalating. If the Congress cannot catch any major cases in the confrontation, it will give people the feeling that they are always making a small fuss.

They will not accept such a result; they need a major case.

However, Maike didn't express his stance immediately. He had to listen to the mayor's thoughts first. These mature politicians know when to hide their thoughts and when to expose them.

"So what are your requirements?"

The mayor licked his lips. "I am worried that they will retaliate against Dai Er and the Hazardous Materials Administration again. Our police chief has just resigned, and they are not enough to deal with those thugs."

"I heard that the Likalai State Militia is currently in routine training. Perhaps we can let them come to Jincheng for a turn."

The change in the international situation has also made the Federation nervous. It is not just Lansi or a few people who can foresee the war that is heading toward a complete outbreak.

The Federal government has also felt the tension in the air before the storm, and recently, the militia organizations in various states have begun to strengthen training, and the Federal military has also begun to replace equipment and actively respond to the war that might suddenly break out at any time.

If he could let the militia come over to support him, the mayor could rest assured for more than half.

Those gangs, no matter how strong their firepower is and how many people they have, they are only private illegal armed organizations.

Maike thought for a while after listening. "I can't make the decision on this matter; I have to continue to report upward. Wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Maike thought for a while and dialed the phone of a member of the House of Representatives. He actually had the phone number of a Socialist Party senator, but it was not very good to call these phones rashly.

The Federation is seemingly casual and free everywhere, but in fact, behind these free and loose surfaces, there is also a strict hierarchical system.

He believes that the masters in the Congress will like this news.

The fact is indeed so. It only took less than a day, before getting off work in the afternoon, Maike called the mayor again.

"I have already talked to some people in the party's high level. They highly recognize your work results. If uncontrollable factors have indeed appeared in Jincheng, then the state government has reason to dispatch the militia to Jincheng to suppress the riots."

"However, Xideni, we are friends, so I will tell you these things. In the case of not being able to mobilize the militia, it is best not to mobilize them."

"Jincheng is a window for the Federation to the world. There are many foreigners there, and even some consulates. The Congress does not hope that certain scandals will become international news!"

"Once you do that, these will affect their viewpoint on you, and the 'A' on your past report card will also become 'C-'. Do you understand what I mean?"

The mayor took a deep breath. "Rest assured, I won't mess around."

Maike didn't care whether he was telling the truth. "The people above hope to see your results as soon as possible. If you need to use the final weapon, call this number, write it down."

After hanging up the phone, the mayor lit a cigarette and sat in the chair thinking for a long time. He could certainly understand Maike's meaning.

The big shots both want results and want to maintain decency—these sons of bitches!

After the cigarette was almost finished, he picked up the phone and dialed Dai Er's number.

Since calling the mayor in the morning, Dai Er had been waiting for this call, so the phone only rang once before he picked it up.

"This is Dai Er."

"It's me. The Congress is very interested in the result of this battle. You can let go and do it. When necessary, we can mobilize the militia to enter the city."

"But it is best to control the situation below this level. In addition, you must pay attention to your safety. I feel they might take action against you, no matter who it is."

Even if it were the mayor himself, losing hundreds of thousands of liquor all of a sudden, he would also go crazy!

If these liquors were placed in a bar and sold separately, their value could expand to over a million. If sold in the Bay Area, the price would be even higher!

Everyone in the Hazardous Materials Administration was waiting for this news. After Dai Er put down the phone, he felt full of energy. The Congress noticed this place, which meant he appeared in the sight of the Congress members again.

He didn't immediately notify people to act, but dialed the number in the capital. After a brief communication, he finally left the office.

It's not that he didn't believe the mayor, he just didn't want to be thrown out as bait in a muddled way.

He wants to be the one fishing, not the bait!

When he came to the hall, many people had already gathered here, because he said there might be a special mission today, so they shouldn't go home for the time being, so now they were all gathered here.

It had already entered daylight saving time. Although it was six o'clock, the sky hadn't completely darkened. He coughed, and everyone's eyes were attracted to him.

"Jincheng will remember today."

"The Federation will remember today!"

"Every one of you will become a hero!"

"Now I announce the configuration of personnel and the action plan. Pang Da, you temporarily serve as the deputy commander of the first team; the commander is served by me personally."

"Second team..."

Accompanied by people quickly dividing into teams, many curious eyes fell on Pang Da's face. He looked exceptionally excited!

Senior agent, he is not far from it!

Suddenly he felt that actually trading with Lansi was not bad. Although everything Lansi did had a purpose, at least they really cracked down on smuggled liquor and achieved brilliant results!

Accompanied by Director Dai Er's order, a large number of agents began to act, and all five armored vehicles were used.

The machine gunners wearing steel helmets didn't look like they were going to participate in an action to seize private liquor, but to participate in a war!

The moment the motorcade went out from the Hazardous Materials Administration, those scouts from all walks of life who were "on duty" at the door all hurriedly called to notify the forces behind them.

At this time, many pairs of eyes were watching this group of people. When they discovered that the motorcade of the Hazardous Materials Administration was not driving toward their own territory, they all let out a sigh of relief.

But when they knew the motorcade was going to the wharf warehouse, everyone became uneasy, even if a considerable part of them possessed legal procedures and proofs.

Proof that the liquor in the warehouse was bought before the Prohibition, proof that they only stored this liquor and didn't intend to sell it.

A large number of cars drove toward the wharf. They wanted to know what these mad dogs wanted to do!

The wharf had already received Director Dai Er's request at this time. Although the wharf management company was unwilling to let them enter the wharf, in front of those long guns and short cannons, they finally chose to give way.

The motorcade followed the clues provided by Pang Da and came to a warehouse. They directly knocked open the warehouse door. As the rolling shutter door was pushed open, a strong smell of liquor immediately floated out.

Everyone's spirit was lifted. Discovered!

The smile on Director Dai Er's face could almost not be covered. He walked into the warehouse in big strides, turned on the lights, looked at the liquor piled up like a small mountain, and waved his fist vigorously.

The moment he turned around, his expression became exceptionally serious. "Immediately seal these smuggled liquors and take them away!"

The manager of the wharf management company couldn't help but run over. "You are breaking the law!"

"You have no right to seal the materials stored here..."

A senior agent directly displayed their legal authorization. "We have the right to seal and confiscate these illegal smuggled liquors. If you continue to affect our law enforcement, don't blame us for taking you away too!"

The manager closed his mouth. He looked at a few people fiercely, then turned and left.

Someone looked at Director Dai Er, asking for instructions through eye communication whether to catch this person back, but Director Dai Er shook his head and refused.

He was very happy now, but also very worried, because... there was too much liquor here.

According to a preliminary simple estimation, there were about eight thousand boxes, six bottles per box, forty or fifty thousand bottles of liquor. The price of these whiskies was between fifteen and twenty dollars.

This is liquor worth seven or eight hundred thousand!

Actually, when seeing these liquors, amidst the excitement, there was also a trace of fear.

There was too much liquor!

He was now asking people to load the cars while starting to consider how to deal with the subsequent measures.

About twenty minutes later, seven or eight cars rushed over quickly, and a large number of people got off the cars.

The few people in the lead were also shouting for them to stop.

Director Dai Er walked to the very front and blocked between them and the warehouse.

"Do you know whose liquor this is?" A guy who looked like a lawyer also revealed a trace of anger on his face.

He was exchanging body fluids with two legal interns and playing happily when the door was suddenly kicked open.

Although the one who kicked the door open was his boss, he still had enough reason to be angry.

He didn't dare to be angry at his boss, but he could lose his temper at Director Dai Er.

He took out several documents from his briefcase and displayed them to Director Dai Er. "These are proof documents proving that these liquors are legal!"

"You are stealing our legal property. If you don't stop your behavior, I will accuse you in court..."

Before he finished speaking, a person who looked younger pushed him away and walked over.

Actually, he saw it. Today, the Hazardous Materials Administration was determined to take these liquors.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked.

Director Dai Er examined him seriously for a while and shook his head. "I don't know who you are, and I don't care who you are. It's best you take your people and leave."

Perhaps feeling the momentum on Wofuli, pressed by the huge pressure brought by those pitch-black gun muzzles, the machine gunners all subconsciously turned the gun muzzles and aimed at him.

Feeling the huge pressure brought by those pitch-black gun muzzles, the young man's chest heaved with a large amplitude. "Good, very good."

"You've caused big trouble, Dai Er. Remember my name, Wofuli Keda!"

He reached out and tapped Director Dai Er on the chest. "You will regret it."

Director Dai Er did indeed regret it a little, but he wouldn't show it; instead, he had to show that indifferent attitude in front of his subordinates.

A look of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Justice eventually defeats evil, Mr. Keda."

Wofuli sneered. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He didn't gamble to try to anger Dai Er. He couldn't guarantee that those machine gunners wouldn't fire. After looking at those machine gunners on the armored vehicles, he turned back into the car somewhat embarrassedly. "Go!"

The motorcade left, but the matter was far from over.

This made Director Dai Er have a headache!

Actually, if it were any other force or gang, he wouldn't care much, even if this liquor belonged to Senator Wei De, he wouldn't care.

Because Senator Wei De cannot reach the level of the Congress; at most, he has a good relationship with local opinion leaders.

And Mr. Huofu's influence in the Likalai State Socialist Party is not as good as Party Representative Maike.

But coincidentally, this warehouse belongs to the Keda family.

Many people rumored that the Keda family is also transporting benefits to the Congress. Dai Er came from the capital; he knows very well that once the problem involves the personal interests of the masters in the Congress, they will go crazy!

I hope these rumors are just rumors; otherwise, it will really be a trouble!

He looked back at this warehouse again. This warehouse didn't use anyone related to the Keda family to register.

Director Dai Er must have done his homework, but now thinking about these things is of no use. He could only urge people to move these liquors to their cars as soon as possible.

The sea breeze on the wharf is very strong, and there are all kinds of large machinery and vehicles here. In addition to the fishy and salty smell of the sea, there is also the smell of various machine oils and gasoline that cannot be burned out.

So much so that some agents didn't notice that these boxes were actually emitting a similar smell of gasoline, although it was not strong!

The forklift continuously sent a large amount of liquor to the truck. The full truck would return soon, accompanied by an armored vehicle. Director Dai Er requested that these liquors must be sent back to their warehouse as soon as possible.

Since the matter has already been done, he will not stop.

Accompanied by the constant coming and going of trucks, until eight o'clock, all the liquor was moved away, leaving only an empty warehouse.

At this time, when the sea breeze blew, the smell of liquor in the warehouse dissipated a lot, but inexplicably, there was a bit more smell of gasoline.

Only at this time, no one noticed this point. Their attention was focused on the Hazardous Materials Administration and those liquors.

They really wanted to know how Director Dai Er, the mayor, and the Keda family would do. If the previous "exchanges" could be considered as stopping at a point.

Then this time, it was a real fight.

Gao Li of the Keda family (Fleming's uncle, the family's number two person) immediately called a familiar person in the Congress. So much money is offered every year, not for nothing!

For a time, some members who were ready to rest also became busy. No one expected that catching a typical case would indirectly catch themselves!

When catching others, they were unswerving, but when catching themselves, they had to consider... ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
