Chapter 606: Depressed

"Damn it!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, Director Dale, who was sitting behind the desk, picked up the newspaper and couldn't help but curse.

The headline on the front page of today's *New Jincheng Today* is "Naval Base Construction", and the illustration used a picture taken from a slightly higher place with a bird's-eye view.

The whole wilderness is full of people, as many as an ant nest that has been kicked over. You can see those refugees everywhere clearing everything above the ground.

Including the roots of those trees, they will also be dug out and then thrown away.

They will find everything they can see, and then throw it far away, ensuring that there will not be too much debris, wood, or stones.

After the leveling is over, they will start to ram, and after ramming, they will start formal construction.

If the newspaper only reported these, then Director Dale would not be so angry. When reading the newspaper in the office, he would indeed curse dirty words.

What really made him feel angry was the illustration on the second page. Lanse was dressed appropriately in the sun and accepted the reporter's interview.

He performed just like... an excellent person, emitting a brilliance that can compete with the sun!

So dazzling, making Director Dale couldn't help but feel some pain.

He heard that Lanse also opened up the situation in Congress. He even attended the small gathering of senators!

Shit, Director Dale himself hadn't attended a few gatherings. Why did Lanse attend so easily?

He couldn't understand. Isn't this just a gang leader?

In the report, Lanse talked eloquently. He talked about the reason for hiring so many refugee workers—

He actually said that he didn't hope that anyone in New Jincheng would starve to death because they couldn't afford to eat. Although he also knew that he couldn't do this, he would always work hard in this direction.

So this time, almost all the workers came from refugee groups.

At least 20,000 families received his care, and at least 60,000 people would no longer be held hostage by hunger. He, the leader of such a gang criminal organization, actually became a "great philanthropist". This is the funniest joke Director Dale has heard this year.

But behind the feeling of absurdity, it is a kind of depression that he cannot speak out.

This is actually the "script" he once fantasized about, his own "script".

The current Lanse is like sitting on a fast train, moving forward quickly along the rising channel, because he has received more attention and importance from the upper level, and he has obtained opportunities.

Before Director Dale came to New Jincheng, he also thought so.

He was appreciated by the old men through his own efforts, then promoted to the State Prohibition Committee, and then returned to Jinzhou because of his outstanding performance.

It's just that he misestimated the problems of New Jincheng, and he must admit that he overestimated his ability, so that he not only didn't get the opportunity to rise, but struggled on the line of life and death.

Compared with Lanse, who has already had a climate, he is more like a waste.

Once it becomes a climate, it is very difficult to take action against Lanse, and he also has a relationship with the Ministry of National Defense.

Director Dale certainly knows that building a naval base is a project of the Ministry of National Defense. Lanse does the preliminary work here, which shows that he must have a connection with the Ministry of National Defense, or a direct connection.

Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to do this work at all.

The leader of the largest local gang, the relationship network has touched Congress and the Ministry of National Defense, and is also an ally of the mayor, and is a local landlord class with a fiancée.

He almost stacked all the attributes that can be stacked, as an illegal immigrant.

So much so that now Director Dale doesn't even know if he can move him!

If something is done to affect Lanse's work for the old men, and the old men have some dissatisfaction with him, it will be a disaster.

He has experienced several disasters, and it is considered his ability to hold on, but he cannot find a remedy every time. There is always a time when he can't hold on, and then he may be crushed and become the nourishment for others to develop.

But the problem is, Lanse has become the largest smuggled liquor exporter in New Jincheng and surrounding areas.

A large amount of liquor flowed into the market from his hands. If he only chased the ball, he might never be able to truly catch up with the ball in his life.

As long as the person who kicks the ball is still there, the more he does, the more meaningless it is.

If he has been prohibiting liquor for ten years and can still frequently find smuggled liquor, it cannot be said that his work in ten years is outstanding and effective, but only that he has not threatened these criminal organizations, allowing them to still be so rampant in shipping.

Doing it is not okay, not doing it is not okay. This is the most difficult problem Director Dale has encountered in his life. He can't do it well.

After cursing a few times, he didn't cheer up because of this, but became even more spiritless.

He leaned on the chair, and the whole person looked a bit decadent, and he couldn't lift any energy from head to toe.

He is not really afraid of Lanse. Before Lanse could walk to this step, he checked everything that should be checked, and caught a lot of people who should be caught. He didn't give Lanse any face at all.

But now, he really can't do it.

He really wants to ask God what he should do!

Just when he was decadent, the office door was knocked. He immediately changed a sitting posture, sorted out his appearance, and then said in a deep voice, "Come in." At this time, he straightened his back and sat behind the desk. Agent Pang Da walked in with a document. Director Dale nodded slightly to show respect, let the other party sit opposite him, "What's the matter?"

Agent Pang Da handed over the document he was holding, "This is news recently provided by an informant. He saw someone unloading goods in the Triangle District at night."

"He leaned over to look carefully and smelled a strong wine fragrance. That side might be a warehouse."

Director Dale flipped through this report, found these things Agent Pang Da said, and quickly scanned it, then asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Agent Pang Da suddenly became full of passion and courage, and said loudly, "We are going to raid this warehouse. It should belong to the Lanse family. Only they have warehouses everywhere in the city."

Director Dale opened his mouth, really wanting to say "Don't find trouble for me", but no matter what, he couldn't say this sentence.

After hesitating for a considerable period of time, he asked, "How can you be sure that it belongs to the Lanse family, and not some other small gang?"

Now there are still many bars opened by small gangs in the city, and the forces at the level of the five major families, except for the Pasleto family, are all finished.

But the middle and bottom gangs further down have survived.

It's just that due to the fierce flames of the Lanse family, they don't dare to rashly break the rules and mess around. That group of people in Lanse is not a good stubble.

【Note: This line is a garbled placeholder in the source text.】

They don't dare to compete with the Lanse family for territory, but in selling liquor, they have no taboos.

Lanse didn't say that other people selling liquor are not allowed in New Jincheng, so this obviously doesn't count as violating the rules.

Unknowingly, Lanse's words also became the rules of New Jincheng. People who follow the rules strive to go upstream and finally become the people who make the rules.

Director Dale doesn't know what to say to dispel Agent Pang Da's idea. He is too hard-working.

In the past, or working hard in the future, it would definitely not be a bad thing, but now working hard, it can only be said to be as bad as it can be.

If it were in the past, Director Dale would definitely support him unconditionally, but this time, he clearly felt Director Dale's hesitation, hesitation, and uncertainty.

This situation rarely appeared in the past.

Agent Pang Da didn't disturb Director Dale, just waited quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.

"This case... put it aside for now.", he put the file Agent Pang Da handed over under the pending file basket.

Not under the file basket, but under the entire file basket. This is a file that is not processed for the time being.

Agent Pang Da was a bit surprised, but still expressed respect for Director Dale's opinion, "I know."

He paused, "Can I know why?"

Director Dale still trusts Agent Pang Da very much, because Agent Pang Da has always played the role of a pioneer in prohibiting liquor and has always been against Lanse.

There were some rumors before, saying that Agent Pang Da can always find Lanse's warehouse or bar. Is there any transaction between them?

After all, the value of those bars and warehouses is not big, not small, it's quite strange.

However, these rumors didn't last long, mainly because there was no market.

Director Dale doesn't believe this either. Compared with rumors, he trusts his capable subordinates more.

So he is not willing to hide anything from Agent Pang Da, "Because Lanse has a relationship with the Ministry of National Defense."

When he spoke, it was slightly depressed. Whether it is a military port or a military base, it is related to the national-level strategy of the Federal Government.

If he intervenes at this time, Lanse might take the opportunity to solve him. He can only put it aside.

Although he knows very clearly that this put aside is many years.

In the final analysis, the Hazardous Materials Administration is ultimately serving the old men in Congress, and Lanse is also serving the old men.

And Lanse's level is higher than him. Except for depression, he has nothing else to do.

Hearing Director Dale say this, Agent Pang Da widened his eyes. He couldn't believe how Lanse got involved with the Ministry of National Defense?

However, Director Dale didn't intend to explain this matter. He directly issued an order to evict guests, "In short, that's it."

Agent Pang Da was reluctant, but had to stand up, "Okay, I will come over again when there is new progress."

Director Dale nodded, indicating that he could leave.

After returning to his independent office, Agent Pang Da thought for a while, but still couldn't help dialing Lanse's number. He really wanted to chat with Lanse about how he got together with the Ministry of National Defense!

By the way, he also wanted to know if he had a chance to go one step further!
