263. Chapter 260: Scared to Death (Monthly Ticket 6667)

Bandi, who picked up the phone, looked at the other family members in the restaurant. "Did any of you arrange a truck to hit Dai Er?"

The gentlemen at the dining table looked at each other, and eventually all shook their heads.

Wofuli even smiled and said, "This method is not bad, at least it won't dirty your hands."

Bandi turned his head again. "It wasn't done by us."

The mayor didn't believe this point at all. "That batch of liquor was just an accident!"

He seemed to be emphasizing the reason why the Keda family did this. Because of that batch of liquor, Bandi reiterated, "I said it, it wasn't done by us."

The mayor was laughed at by anger. "Do you think I will believe it?"

"Your liquor was seized last night, and Dai Er almost encountered a car accident this morning. You say it wasn't done by you, then who would it be?"

Bandi also seemed a bit impatient. "You hope it is whoever it is. In short, I said it, it wasn't done by us."

"There is simply no way to communicate with someone like you. I recommend you go see mental illness; you have a problem with your brain, Xideni!"

He hung up the phone after speaking and sat at the dining table. "Just now Xideni said Dai Er almost encountered a car accident. Go ask what happened."

Gao Li stood up. He took a napkin and wiped his mouth, then walked to the phone.

And they enjoyed breakfast while talking about the things that happened within these twenty-four hours.

"Now those rumors actually still have some help to us. I like what they said: 'would rather destroy it than have it publicly destroyed.' Is this really done by ourselves?"

Fleming's gaze wandered between Bandi and Wofuli. Only the two of them could possibly do this kind of thing.

Others didn't have such big guts, and the biggest possibility was still Bandi, because only Bandi had the qualification to decide whether to sacrifice this batch of goods worth hundreds of thousands.

Bandi felt his son's probing gaze and shook his head slightly. "It has nothing to do with me. Hente called me and said it might be arson."

"I feel this matter is not simple." He picked up the silver spoon and scooped a spoonful of thick soup into his mouth. "The taste is not bad."

Fleming and Wofuli both began to diverge their thinking, but they couldn't think of anyone who might do this.

At this time, Gao Li came back from the phone. "Hente said the driver is a terminal cancer patient. Someone gave him a sum of money, asking him to drive to hit Director Dai Er. No matter whether it succeeds or not, they will give his family two thousand dollars."

Bandi put down the spoon without changing his expression, picked up the knife and fork, took a piece of steak, put it on his plate, and cut it.

"It seems someone intends to ignite the war. Who do you think it will be?" He asked Gao Li here, not the two little kids.

When Jincheng was full of turmoil, they were still young, and their memories of those years were similar to nothing. Only Gao Li knew what happened in those times.

"Maybe some people are already dissatisfied that we have held the casino for so long, wanting to use this opportunity to provoke a war between us and them, to profit from it." He analyzed his thoughts very seriously.

And this thought was exactly Bandi's view. He pointed at Gao Li with a knife and fork. "You said it very correctly; some people are not honest again."

The casino business is very profitable; everyone knows this point. The Keda family can get this exclusive business, absolutely not because they are very generous!

Behind this is years of fire fighting and gang wars. They fought until the last moment, used blood and death to defend their rights, and only then had today's Keda family.

Actually, sometimes they have already turned a blind eye to those illegal private casinos. As long as it is not as blatant as the casino of the Night of the Empire, and the scale is not small, they can pretend they don't know.

After eating exclusive food for so many years, they also gradually understood a truth: if you really don't give others a taste of sweetness at all, eventually they will become the target of public criticism.

The other four of the five major families are not really not touching this aspect at all. They actually also operate casinos, but not that kind of large-scale one.

They will invite some people to their territory to play cards in the name of forming private card games.

The Keda family rules only the gambling industry in Jincheng, not gambling behavior. They have no way to deal with those who know each other and sit together to play cards, and they cannot have a way.

Compared to the early years, they have actually relaxed a lot, but now, Bandi is a bit annoyed.

He doesn't know who it is, why they want to provoke the war between him and outsiders, but he knows that if there is anything driving them to do so, it must be the casino license in his hands!

People who care about casino licenses might just be operating in this line.

He stuffed the cut beef into his mouth. When chewing, there would be bright red meat juice appearing in his mouth. "Clean up all the underground casinos in Jincheng..."

Wofuli nodded. "I will arrange it."

"I won't come back tonight;

He needed to communicate with the other families among the Five Great Families to discuss countermeasures; he couldn't let the mayor keep pushing step by step like this!

After finishing breakfast, he went to the study. He had just finished calling the other two families when Gao Li pushed the door open and entered.

"Our casino has been raided."

Bandi looked at him as if he hadn't understood, "Are you talking about the ones without licenses, or the ones with licenses?"

They actually also had many unlicensed casinos, also in the form of private gambling games. Federal law did not stipulate that it was illegal for friends to play cards together.

But in reality, this was still a casino; they provided the gambling tables, the games, the dealers, and everything related to gambling.

Those who played cards needed to pay some fees. If they were willing to be the house themselves, then the people from the Koda family were only responsible for dealing the cards.

But if they didn't want to be the house, the people from the Koda family could also be the house.

The premise was that this kind of game needed a house.

He subconsciously thought that the ones raided were those unlicensed private gambling games. If it were those, he would let his lawyer handle them.

But Gao Li told him with a gloomy face, "It's the Lucky House."

The Lucky House was one of the most popular casinos of the Koda family in New Jincheng because its grade was relatively moderate.

It was not like the "Gold Castle" which only received guests from the upper class, nor was it like the "High Victory" which only welcomed guests from the middle class and above.

At the Lucky House, as long as you had more than one dollar in cash, you could exchange it for four chips to go in and play a bit.

There were many guests from the middle or upper class here; they liked the lively environment here, and they liked the feeling of being surrounded by poor wretches and their envious, jealous, and hateful gazes.

Don't be surprised; this society never lacks these people, and this also made the Lucky House one of the most popular main casinos.

In the peak season, it could bring in hundreds of thousands or even millions in gross profit every day!

But now, it had been raided!

"Why?", he asked.

Although his tone was still calm, Gao Li, who knew him well, knew that this brother was angry.

"The people from the Hazardous Materials Bureau said someone reported that the casino provides alcohol."

Of course, this was also a fact. If they didn't provide alcohol, how could those people get high faster?

Otherwise, how could they rely on their feelings to gamble against the dealer's technique?

It was impossible for a casino not to provide alcohol!

Even though Bandi knew that someone was stirring up trouble on both sides, when the moment the Lucky House was raided happened, even if he knew everything, he had fallen into the trap!

A large number of agents in gray uniforms had already surrounded the Lucky House. Many gambling addicts were driven out of the Lucky House by them. At the same time, boxes upon boxes of alcohol were being moved out.

The Koda family was also one of the big consumers of alcohol in New Jincheng. Plus, they didn't think Director Dai Er would rashly come to raid the Lucky House, so a lot of stock had piled up here.

Looking at the boxes that had piled up into a small hill again, the agents knew that they had caught another big fish, although they had always known.

Wofuli and the others had already rushed over. He pushed through the crowd and walked directly to the very center of this group of people, locked his gaze on a high-level agent, and walked straight over.

"Do you fucking know what you are doing?", he asked.

That high-level agent couldn't help but laugh, "I seem to have heard someone say that before, and you haven't just said that once."

Faint mocking laughter rang out around them. Wofuli's eyeballs turned slightly red; he seemed to be easily prone to becoming emotional.

The people around him hurriedly pulled him back and persuaded him in his ear. He stared fixedly at that person and pointed his finger at him, "That skin on your body cannot protect you!"

The high-level agent sneered, "You are not the first person to threaten me."

The casino was temporarily sealed off for allegedly publicly selling intoxicating beverages containing alcohol, and the entire New Jincheng was in an uproar.

How many years had it been, and someone was starting to challenge the authority of the Five Great Families again?

Even Councilor Wei De and Councilor Williams put down what they were doing and called to inquire about the cause and process of the matter.

The mayor also called Director Dai Er. For this operation, Director Dai Er had not contacted him.

"You should have told me first.", the mayor's tone was very calm, but one could hear that he was somewhat resentful.

Director Dai Er, however, ignored this sentence and the meaning he expressed, and told him about his encounter in the morning, "Do you know?"

"At that time, that truck crashed directly into the body of my car. If I had reacted a little slower, you wouldn't be able to see me!"

"You didn't come to the scene to see it; the whole wall was knocked down. I couldn't even get out of the car myself; it was deformed!"

"The Grim Reaper's scythe brushed past my neck, Xidini!"

"They really want to kill me, not the kind that's joking!"

"My hands were shaking for the whole morning after I came back. Now, this is not a matter between us and them; it's a matter between me and them!"

"Since they really want to kill me, let's see who dies first!"

Listening to his words full of resentment, the mayor had a bit of a headache, "You need a drink, and then calm down!!"

"They said this was just an accident!"

Director Dai Er asked back loudly, "Do you think this is an accident?"

The mayor stopped talking, because he also felt it wasn't an accident.

However, this is also good; at least Director Dai Er won't change sides at a critical moment!

"Dai Er, I believe in your judgment, and I also support you. Is there anything you need me to do?"
