Chapter 558: The Times Have Changed

The cadre sitting in the car had a very ugly expression.

But there was no way.

He was one of Feijia'er's confidants. From his perspective, this mission was just to go and die, but the mission was assigned to him, and he couldn't not come.

When leaving the office, Feijia'er told him that their job was to come over, fire a few shots, have a simple firefight, and then leave immediately.

Do not linger, and certainly don't foolishly get out of the car and really go into a firefight with Lans's men.

What they needed to do was to take a stance; they had the courage to resist and the strength to counterattack.

In this way, those people in New Jincheng wouldn't think they were already afraid, and then their "defensive line" consolidation later could also be seen as a strategic and tactical adjustment.

And this was also the reason that persuaded him to be willing to come; he didn't need to get out of the car, he only needed to shoot outside from inside the car.

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little, tore at his collar, and cursed a few dirty words.

Hope nothing goes wrong!

The others in the cars were also his men, and he clearly told these people what to do.

What made him feel slightly at ease was that the motorcade didn't encounter any obstruction after entering the Imperial District, which was different from what he imagined—that they might not even reach Lans's company before being stopped.

Many people had heard of the Lans family's prowess in the Imperial District—

As long as you entered the Imperial District, as long as they discovered something was not quite right, your whereabouts would be discovered by them.

Botun and his "Heavenly Eyes" had also become one of the things people often discussed. Some gangs also wanted to learn to do it, but they really couldn't.

On one hand, their territory was too small, perhaps only three or five blocks. By the time the people they hired discovered the "intruders" and reported this news up...

Perhaps the intruders' cars had already stopped in front of them.

Territory that is too small has no depth or buffer for news to be transmitted, so it has no value for small gangs.

Secondly, for those big gangs, for example... the Keda family, they couldn't hire those gentlemen in the Bay Area to help them watch the changes on the streets.

If they arranged for their own people, it would be too obvious. As long as it was obvious, there would definitely be a way to bypass it.

So this method was only very applicable to the Lans family. Other gangs also wanted to use it, but first, they needed a large enough territory, and secondly, the situation within the territory couldn't be too complex.

Like the city center, it didn't possess this set of methods; the streets were full of people and cars.

No one could figure out if the person sitting in a certain car was an intruder or just an ordinary passerby.

There were many rumors about Lans's defense system, for example, the Xiong Bang people only dared to go deep after severely wounding Botun.

Of course, this trick wasn't very useful now because Botun almost never appeared on the streets.

So they could only break in hard.

It's just... were they too arrogant?

In the situation of knowing someone was invading, they still didn't block them?

Or did they have some plan?

The cadre sitting in the car didn't know why no one blocked them, which didn't make him relax, but instead made him uneasy.

He focused all his attention on the changes around him. He didn't know if it was because he had stayed in the city center for too long, but he felt that there were really very few people here.

Especially after turning a corner and entering the street where Lans's company was located, there were almost no pedestrians on the side of the road, and even the cars on the street couldn't be seen much.

The driver seemed not to realize these obvious changes. "Driving here is really a damn enjoyment; I've had enough of the traffic jams in the city center."

"If it were peak hour, I would have to drive for forty minutes to reach the destination for a twenty-minute journey."

He complained while accelerating, and the vehicles behind also followed suit. Seeing the building where Lans's office was gradually appearing, the cadre sitting in the back also began to breathe rapidly.

He wouldn't shoot, but he would supervise others, fire a burst of bullets, and then leave immediately.

He didn't forget to urge the driver, "Do you remember what I told you before?"

The driver nodded vigorously, his face still carrying some excitement. "Remember, after the first round of gunfire ends, honk the horn, and then turn around and leave."

The cadre nodded in approval. "That's it, don't get it wrong!"

After passing a traffic light, Lans's company had already appeared on their right. The cadre had no guesses or thoughts as to why this behavior was so smooth.

The only thing he could do now was to complete the mission as soon as possible.

When the motorcade stopped outside Lans's company, many people stretched their weapons out of the car windows...

In the room, Lans closed his eyes slightly and listened to the songs with the sound quality of the era coming from the record player. He couldn't quite understand the so-called avant-garde fashion, but he could appreciate the talent of the "little cotton-picking experts" to some extent.

The new office was filled with a fresh atmosphere. Lans patted the armrest of the chair; the heavy shadow looked very wide and sturdy.

Just such a chair cost several hundred dollars.

A wider desk meant being able to put more things, and the overall decoration was also more solemn and heavy.

At the same time, some small details in the decoration made this place not so serious.

"Not bad." Lans nodded slightly. The bank was decorated, and everyone was choosing their favorite office.

Although now was not a good time for immigrant descendants to "start a business," as the matter in New Jincheng came to an end, Lans also had to gradually move away from that pure gang style.

In other countries, this might be a very difficult thing, but in the Federation, as long as you mastered the trick, it was very easy.

And he wouldn't learn from Bandi; to wash white, he had to give up gang business. This was equivalent to a guy who relied on the knife in his hand to rob and stand up, having successfully attracted enough hatred, but because he had money in his hand and wanted to live a stable life, he threw the knife away—how stupid!

The knife should never be thrown away, and people should be made to know that the knife was still in your hand, right in your pocket.

Only in this way would they respect you, respect you.

"Have our friends arrived?"

Lans asked.

Botun nodded. "They have already started."

Lans was very satisfied with the results of this plan; everything was like a discussion, acting. "I hope they can like such a surprise!"

The crackling gunfire was loud, and the glass windows of the entire building were shattered and flying everywhere. On the walls, on the wooden doors, there were traces left by bullets.

Even some wall skin couldn't withstand the impact of the bullets and fell off.

At first, the cadre was still a bit worried, worried that Lans's men would suddenly rush out from around, but after firing, he still didn't find the other party, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was waiting for the first round of gunfire to end and was about to urge the driver to leave, suddenly, a large number of police and police cars emerged on the surrounding empty streets and roads.

"This is New Jincheng Police, you have been surrounded, immediately put down your weapons and walk out of the car, otherwise we will fire..."

"Repeat once, this is..."

In an instant, the gunfire that was like a rainstorm stopped abruptly. They dared to kill the police, but they didn't quite dare to kill the police in front of many people, let alone now, surrounded by the police, killing the police in front of the police.

In that case, they could only be shot into sieves. Even if they escaped, they would eventually be on the wanted list, and they would only be able to hide in the sewers for the rest of their lives—

Anyone who didn't like him only needed to make a phone call and say they found a wanted criminal, and whether it was those hunters or the local police, they would quickly find them.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a bit solidified, and the cadre's complexion changed constantly, until it finally turned iron-blue.

They had fallen into a trap!

And this was no different from them being "completely wiped out." Now the police station was equivalent to being controlled by Lans, and these people themselves had many crimes.

Once someone couldn't hold on and confessed, it could quickly trigger a huge chain reaction.

But resist?

He glanced at the dense gun muzzles outside the window, looking at the constantly flashing police lights. He was actually still young, and he didn't want to die.

He pushed open the car door, and the police became a bit nervous, all hiding behind various covers, but most people's weapons were aimed at the first car.

A leather shoe stepped out of the car first, followed by the other. Then there was a pair of raised hands. The cadre slowly bent over, made a posture to exert force, stood up with his butt stuck out, slowly raised his hands high, walked out of the car, then turned around, and put his hands on the roof of the car.

The driver also learned his appearance, got out of the car, raised his hands high, turned around, and stood holding the roof of the car.

More people got out of the car slowly like the cadre. This process was actually very simple, but everyone was very careful.

Because as long as someone made a wrong move, these police would really fire, and, everyone would definitely die!

Some people said that the Lans family people were actually very similar to the police, because the police would also empty their magazines when encountering a firefight.

It's just that they used defensive revolvers, which only had six bullets, so even if they emptied the magazine, it wouldn't give people a feeling that it was too excessive.

And Lans and the others used semi-automatic pistols, which often had magazines of more than a dozen bullets, or even submachine guns, so emptying them would bring people a more shocking effect.

But facing so many weapons, even if they were all revolvers, no one wanted to try how many bullets their body could hold.

Soon everyone in the car came out, either raising their hands or turning around and putting their hands on the roof of the car. The police started to enter.

Walking at the very front was Du Ke.

Du Ke was now the deputy chief, and this was the first case he personally operated after taking office. He and the cadre actually knew each other.

In the past New Jincheng police force, there was also something like a "Hero List," from top to bottom were the portraits and names of some people. These people were existences that even the police couldn't provoke!

This book was updated recently at ##!! Update!

They represented a kind of order, a kind of rule. Although the cadre's ranking was very low, he was also on the list.

Du Ke pulled his hand behind his back and handcuffed him. The cadre opened his mouth unwillingly. "Has anyone ever said that you are like a dog he raised?"

Deputy Chief Du Ke punched him directly in the waist. In an instant, the cadre couldn't stand still, but Du Ke grabbed his other arm, made his hand go behind his back, then handcuffed him tightly, and forcefully pushed his head against the car door.

After a bang, the cadre's face was somewhat deformed by the force of the car door and the back of his head. He could only close his eyes and pant.

The pain made him unable to even take a big breath!

"If I were you, what I would do now is shut my mouth, and then think about how to find a way to survive."

He was taken by Du Ke and stuffed into Du Ke's own police car. "The times have changed, you know?"

"The Five Great Families have already become the past tense; in the future, this place will be Lans's."

"If you don't want to die, it's best to cooperate with us."

The cadre's complexion was ugly, and he didn't speak.

In the past, the police would sometimes find trouble with them, but as long as they had an explanation, let the police give an explanation to the citizens, the matter would pass.

It had never been like today, being arrested, being threatened.

But he knew Du Ke was right. He had already been arrested. If they wanted to kill him, they only needed to send him to prison.

Then he would lose his little life because of various accidents.

Now he was very melancholy, and also had some inexplicable helplessness.

The ringing of the phone rang on many phones at the same time. After Feijia'er picked up the phone, he realized that the development of the matter might have exceeded his expectations.

But he didn't expect that it would exceed so much!

"You mean, they were all arrested?"

"Fuck, how could the police appear there?"

"Why didn't they run when they saw the police?"

He asked several questions in a row. There was no way to let his confidant do this thing. After all, the core of the Jien family was not a blood tie.

If he let those cadres who were not confidants go, they would definitely have some grudges in their hearts, and they might not necessarily be able to do it seriously.

He thought this matter was not difficult—

Driving over, firing a round of bullets, and then driving away. If so many people staged a chase and firefight in the Imperial District, it would actually not be good for Lans either.

He had thought of many possibilities and made corresponding responses.

For example, what to do if that side was a trap.

What to do if Lans's men intercepted them halfway.

He thought of many situations that might occur, but he just didn't think that Lans would "call the police"!

The person in the receiver quickly described the situation at the scene. Feijia'er could only curse a few times in defeat, and then dialed the lawyer's phone.

When the lawyer finished listening to his description, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally could only say, "I can only help you to the greatest extent to make them sentenced more lightly. As for bail and early parole, I might not be able to do it."

"Also, you might need to prepare more money for this case. If the police completely lean to the other side, the cost of solving this case is several times or more than other cases."

"This is also because we have cooperated for a long time. If it were someone else, I would have hung up the phone long ago..."

Bandi also knew the result at the first time. His expression was exactly the same as Feijia'er's. He also thought of many possibilities.

Including bringing himself into Lans's role, after doing so many things, how to deal with this matter.

But he just didn't think that Lans would let the police solve this problem directly.

Gao Li's expression on the side was a bit solemn. "I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that we have never been able to catch up with Lans's thinking."

"Now Feijia'er's trouble has become even bigger."

Why not let the police go directly to the city center to arrest Feijia'er's men?

Everyone knows they are gangs, wouldn't it be fine if they were arrested directly?

Because the Federation is a country of procedural justice, the police want to arrest a group of gangs that everyone knows but lacks testimony without any evidence and reason, which is absolutely impossible to do!

They must have mastered the evidence, and then applied for an arrest warrant. The judicial department approved their action, and they could go to arrest.

First, they couldn't get the criminal evidence of everyone, and the judicial department couldn't approve so many arrest warrants at once.

Secondly, Lans had already taken down the police, but the judicial department also had people from the Bay Area. They wouldn't easily let Chief Bulu get a large number of arrest warrants or search warrants.

A small amount has no significance for the promotion of the overall situation, and a large amount cannot be obtained. This is the limitation of the police part.

But everything has an exception.

If the police discover criminals committing crimes at the crime scene, they can arrest the criminals committing crimes without the approval of the judicial department.

Undoubtedly, today's was a successful plan. They arrested a large number of gang members, and they didn't even need an arrest warrant.

And next, the judicial department also needs to cooperate with them, because these were all caught at the crime scene, and the judicial department has no reason not to cooperate.

They successfully avoided the influence of the judicial department and completed their plan.

If someone among these people confessed more criminal evidence about Feijia'er, they wouldn't even need to confess Feijia'er's, as long as they confessed other cadres'.

Then Lans could quickly peel off Feijia'er's protective shell layer by layer until exposing his internal part with no ability to resist!

"What should we do now?", Gao Li asked.

Bandi shook his head. "We are too passive now; we must find a way to become more active."

"Lans is like a boxer with strength and brains. Can't let him constantly accumulate factors of victory, must let him also take a punch, take a heavy punch."

"Otherwise we simply can't hold on."

Bandi thought very clearly. If Feijia'er fell, then the next one would be them.

They pulled Feijia'er into the water to prevent Lans from succeeding, but they didn't expect this guy to be so useless and useless!

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that a large number of elites died in the war between the Jien family and the Xiong Bang.

Subsequently, the news of Lans "moving" also spread. He had abandoned the previous office location and moved to the original Jin Da Bank.

This also made those who were dissatisfied with him even more desperate, because they all knew that the construction standard of Jin Da Bank was built according to bank standards.

That damn thing is a huge turtle shell!

If it was said before that a strong attack on Lans still had a possibility of victory, now a strong attack on a bank?

The only thing they can do is to go to enough people, and then let Lans be exhausted when mopping the floor, instead of killing him in the bank!
