Chapter 540: Narrowed 6668

~10 min read 1,889 words

The next morning, after Pang Da got up, the maid had already arrived, and she had prepared breakfast.

Because Lisa was pregnant, she often couldn't get up in the morning. After Pang Da ate breakfast, he asked the maid to take care of Lisa more, and after giving her an extra two-dollar reward, he quickly left home.

Becoming the director, this matter was very meaningful, although he couldn't do it now.

The wealthy in the Bay Area couldn't not drink. As long as he broke in while they were drinking, he had a way to deal with this bunch of people.

He spent the whole night thinking about these things, and unknowingly, the car arrived at the parking lot inside the Hazardous Materials Bureau.

As soon as he got out of the car, many colleagues greeted him enthusiastically. As one of the four senior agents, his status here could be said to be below one person, equal to four, and above a thousand.

If one ignored those at the same level, that was below one person and above a thousand.

Whether they knew him or not, they would take the initiative to greet him with a smile on their faces.

In this environment, even if he had things on his mind, his mood became quite good.

He first went to handle the documents on his desk that needed urgent processing, and then came outside Director Dai Er's office.

He knocked on the door, and Director Dai Er told him to wait a bit.

The office door wasn't completely soundproof, and he seemed to vaguely hear some keywords, like "death penalty," "committee," and the like.

After about ten minutes, he was notified by Director Dai Er to go in.

As soon as he entered the door, he could see that Director Dai Er was in a good mood. He even took the initiative to have someone send a cup of coffee over.

"There was a very important call just now, sorry, let you wait outside for so long," Director Dai Er didn't have much airs, which was also the reason why everyone didn't dislike him.

"It's okay, I just happened to read the newspaper for a while," Pang Da found a reason so Director Dai Er wouldn't be so "guilty."

The superior-subordinate relationship was really interesting; clearly, they were the "perpetrators," yet the "victims" had to worry about the "perpetrators" feeling guilty and uneasy, taking the initiative to find reasons and excuses for their behavior.

Director Dai Er naturally continued this topic, "Liking to read newspapers is a good habit; there is a lot of important information hidden in newspapers."

"When I was in New Jin City, I had to read many newspapers every day. Sometimes the truth had already been published, but many people couldn't discover them!"

The secretary knocked on the door and walked in with coffee.

Pang Da took a sip after picking it up and praised it.

This wasn't a hypocritical praise; this was a real praise.

The coffee beans in the coffee machine in the Hazardous Materials Bureau's pantry were high-end goods worth over ten dollars a pound. They didn't lack funds, so from top to bottom, they were very "enjoyable."

When the secretary left and closed the door, Director Dai Er shifted the topic to Pang Da's visit, "Is there anything I can help you with?", he asked.

Pang Da nodded, "I have an informant who heard that the Koda family has a large amount of alcohol in a casino. I don't know... should we take action?"

Director Dai Er frowned slightly, the very slight kind, almost impossible to detect.

He hadn't dealt with the Lans family side yet, and wasn't too keen on dealing with the Koda family.

The Koda family also had connections in Congress, and sealing the Koda family's casino would affect their delivery of benefits to Congress.

At that time, those in Congress whose interests were damaged would pout, and the breakthrough method he had finally thought of would rise in waves for no reason.

But he couldn't dampen his subordinates' morale. After pondering slightly, he had an idea, "Definitely must manage, but not now!"

"Our current main direction is to let these people admit that they are people in the same gang organization, and let them confess the previous business funds."

"Then see if there's a way to pull out them, as well as the higher-level gang organizations!"

Pang Da was stunned. No one had told him about this before, "You mean... we are going to take action against Lans?"

Director Dai Er nodded, "Yes, we all know they are people of the Lans family, and we also know that Lans is the mastermind behind all this."

"Only by arresting Lans and sending him to court can this case be truly solved!"

"Pang Da, you know, Lukaer."

"He was a very good person, capable, and loved this job, but because of some things, he..."

"Before, we didn't have a chance, so we could temporarily ignore it, but now we have a chance. Whether for the cause of justice or to avenge our friend, we have the necessity to catch Lans!"

If Lans was really caught, it wouldn't be a simple issue of violating the Prohibition Act. The prosecutor would also collect his other criminal evidence and prosecute him together.

If there really was such a day, Lans would be dead!

Pang Da held his breath slightly, his heart felt like it was gripped by some force, almost stopping!

If Lans was really caught, would he confess about him?

He didn't know, and didn't want to know.

The unease in his heart didn't show on his face; he just pretended to agree with Director Dai Er's idea, "Yes, you are very right, we should solve the problems in our hands first, and then consider others."

Director Dai Er was happy that this capable subordinate understood him, "I'm very happy you can think this way!"

"The Koda family's casino is right there. They are providing alcohol to their customers now, so they won't stop in the future, so we can take action against them at any time."

"No need to be so anxious to catch them now. As long as the result meets our requirements, time and process can actually make some concessions!"

He paused, "Alright, do you have other work to do?"

He meant Pang Da could leave. Pang Da picked up the coffee cup and then stood up, "No, I'm going to work."

He pointed to the coffee cup he was holding. Director Dai Er smiled and said, "Take it away, just remember to have someone send it to the sink when you finish drinking!"

Pang Da, who came out of the director's office, had an expression that became visibly worse. He now had two weaknesses.

Lisa and the child, and Lans.

He cursed twice, then returned to his office and started handling the work in his hands. A large amount of documents needed his review and signature, but he was always thinking about Director Dai Er's attitude in his heart.

A whole morning passed in a flash in various matters that couldn't really be said to be absolutely important, but would occupy his time.

At eleven fifty-five, he put down the work in his hands, rubbed his wrists, and smoked a cigarette.

When the time pointed to eleven fifty-nine fifty-nine, the telephone ring suddenly rang, and at the same time, the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand all pointed to "0."

He immediately answered the phone, "This is Pang Da."

In a glance/p>

"Are there any results?"

Lans's voice came from the receiver.

Pang Da didn't speak immediately; he needed to organize his language and was also thinking about how to tell Lans about this matter.

He couldn't just open his mouth and say "He wants to kill you," right?

Lans didn't urge him. Since he didn't speak, it meant that this matter might have had a little accident.

After about a minute or two, Lans also lit a cigarette on his side, and Pang Da spoke.

"First thing, the director didn't agree. He seems not to intend to let me take action against the Koda family."

"This kind of action, I must report it to him. If he doesn't agree, I can't take people out to act on my own; this will bring trouble."

"Second thing..."

Lans originally intended to say "Forget it if it doesn't work," but there was a "second thing." He realized that a change beyond his expectations had occurred.

He still maintained silence. In the receiver, there was only the occasional sound of him smoking, and the slight crackling sound made when the cigarette butt was burned.

"When I was at his office door this morning, I heard him talking to someone else, mentioning something about 'death penalty' and something about a 'committee'."

Lans added at this time, "Is it the 'Prohibition Committee'?"

Pang Da didn't admit it, "I didn't hear clearly, so I can't talk nonsense."

"Then when we were discussing your current case, he mentioned continuing to trace the source upward..."

He was silent for a while when he said this, "... saying the final target is you, you are more valuable than others."

Lans was stunned for a moment, then Lans's laughter came from the receiver, "Catch me?"

He felt it was a bit funny.

Pang Da didn't laugh, "Yes, he wants us to find a way to get a confession, let them admit that they all belong to the Lans family and work for you."

"He wants to do a big case, a case that can shock the whole country."

At this time, Pang Da also gradually thought clearly about this point. Actually, from the beginning of the establishment of the Hazardous Materials Bureau, Director Dai Er had been trying every possible way to do big cases.

He even crazily let people falsely report the case value, the purpose of which was to cause a sensation and attract the attention of Congress.

His mind wasn't on the Prohibition Act at all; he just wanted to use the Hazardous Materials Bureau as a springboard to return to Jinzhou.

After Lans laughed for a while, his laughter gradually turned cold, until it finally stopped.

"What do you think, Pang Da?"

Pang Da didn't know how to say it. He didn't hope for Lans to have an accident, because Lans having an accident meant he would have an accident.

But he couldn't say that now; this was contrary to everything he had insisted on in the past, so he could only maintain silence.

Lans didn't force him either, "You inquire during this period. If Dai Er has an accident, where will the successor come from?"

"Since he has already regarded me as an opponent, then I won't show mercy to him again."

"I don't require you to must stand on my side, but you also can't stand on his side. Do you understand what I mean?"

"As for the Koda family side, since you can't do it, then forget it. I'll think of other ways."

After hanging up the phone, Pang Da sat on the sofa for a good while, many thoughts popping up in his mind.

Life, why are there so many troublesome things?
