Chapter 247: What a coincidence!
Because Wan Shengcai's Wanbao Club is deeply entrenched, many of its members are themselves local officials or even powerful figures, involving a wide scope.
Yu Lin did not choose regular channels, but directly made a phone call, mobilizing the troops stationed nearby with extremely high authority.
Moments later, a piercing alarm shattered the city's night sky; one after another, military vehicles covered in canvas roared like a steel torrent into the urban area, precisely reaching the Wanbao Club Headquarters and several important branch locations.
Fully armed soldiers swiftly jumped down, quickly set up a cordon, completely sealing all exits, completing an iron‑clad encirclement.
A top‑down, thunderous cleansing operation immediately unfolded; any attempt to resist or flee was instantly shattered.
"Report!" a lieutenant general shoulder‑board bearing, the commander in charge of the garrison here, hurried over to Yu Lin.
He looked solemn, raised his hand to give Yu Lin a standard military salute, and reported in a loud voice:
"All target suspects have been detained! The scene is now fully under our control!"
"Please, Chief, instruct the next steps!"
Yu Lin nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Very good."
"Next, comrades from the Disciplinary Committee will take full charge."
"Your task is to cooperate in interrogating all detained personnel and to report the results truthfully and completely to the Disciplinary Committee."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the controlled club members, their faces ashen, and continued:
"Of course, there are also those who, for now, have luckily avoided arrest but harbor guilt, especially within the military… Please, after you return, convene a meeting within your system and deliver this message for me—"
Yu Lin's voice clearly reached the ears of every officer present:
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict."
"If you come forward now, you might still get leniency; but if you wait until you're dragged out…"
His tone suddenly turned cold, he grinned: "That means life imprisonment as a starting point."
"Tell them these words are spoken by me, Yu Lin."
"That's all for now," Yu Lin looked at the lieutenant general:
"Thank you for the trouble."
The lieutenant general stood straight and immediately replied: "No trouble at all!"
"Today, letting you, Chief, encounter such a thing, allowing this corrupt organization to exist to this day, is our dereliction of duty! I feel immense shame!"
His face burned with anger and self‑reproach as he continued to pledge:
"Please rest assured; starting today, we will certainly take this as a warning, launch a comprehensive rectification and crackdown, and never allow similar malignant growths to find any foothold!"
After hearing his promise, Yu Lin merely gave a faint smile: "That's good."
"In that case, I'll leave this to you; I still have things to do, I'll go ahead first."
"Goodbye."
"Yes! Take care, Chief!" The lieutenant general saluted again, watching Yu Lin turn and depart.
Until Yu Lin's figure vanished from sight, the lieutenant general's solemn expression did not lessen; instead, it was instantly replaced by a fiercer fury, almost ready to erupt.
He abruptly turned, facing the officers busily directing the inspection, his voice suppressed yet like a volcano about to erupt, he low‑growled:
"Three days! I'll give you at most three days!"
"I want you to root out this Wanbao Club from top to bottom, inside and out—every relation network, protective umbrella, and remnant force—pull it out by the roots and eradicate it completely!"
"This is a death order! Whoever lags behind, fails to…"
His gaze swept over everyone like a hawk: "Then take off your own shoulder boards and quit!"
"Understand?!"
All officers felt a jolt, sensing his unquestionable resolve and towering anger, they replied in unison, shaking the night sky:
"Understood! Guarantee mission completion!"
The sound carried far.
Making tonight destined to be no peaceful night.
Residents didn't know exactly what happened; they only knew that from today onward.
This city became the most disciplined city.
"You just pretended to be good."
"What words? What is this? I was just eliminating harm for the people; next time let you go up and say a couple lines?"
"Really? Then I…………"
"I'm fooling you."
"…………I'm going all out with you!"
On the vehicle.
Yu Lin raised his hand to press down the rushing Ning Ya, his face bearing a faint smile, then suddenly asked the driving Dong Lin:
"Dong Lin, have you figured out what you want to do in the future?"
Dong Lin, hearing this, truly didn't know what to do going forward, a bit bewildered, said:
"I don't know…………Originally I was supposed to inherit the family textile shop, but now I…………have nowhere to go."
"Like this." Yu Lin pressed Ning Ya into the seat, then continued:
"Are you interested in joining the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"Huh? Can I? I tried before, but with my talent…………I was washed out."
"Don't worry; although your cultivation is gone, you have already sensed the wonders of the major realms, and your quality has been transformed because of it—you could easily become a teacher in the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Hmm…………Okay, I'll join!"
Dong Lin agreed to Yu Lin's proposal without much thought.
Judging by the current situation, joining the Civil Affairs Bureau really is the best circumstance.
After all, he originally wanted to join, only later he was washed out.
Seeing him agree, Yu Lin also said to Ning Ya:
"What about you, what are you going to do next?"
"Me?" Ning Ya stretched her waist, then smiled: "Me? I'm definitely on vacation."
"In a few days, call Su Qu and my sister, let's go have some fun together."
"Of course, if you, this busy person, aren't free, we can make another appointment next time."
Yu Lin thought, then nodded: "It's not impossible."
"When the time comes, just call me."
"I'm fine............"
The two chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived in front of the hotel.
Yu Lin naturally had no intention of going back to the Civil Affairs Bureau so soon; having come all this way, he certainly wanted to have some fun.
Just as he got out of the car, he heard several familiar voices sound out:
"Remember, from now on in the game, stop nagging and making excuses."
"Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Right, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard, I heard, sorry, big brothers."
"Then good, get lost."
The dragon grandpa, qilin, and white tiger, now in human form, waved their hands, letting the seven youths who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old leave.
Just as he turned around, he met Yu Lin's gaze.
"............ Ah, Yu Lin, you're here too? Haha, what a coincidence."
"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence. Want to get some late-night snacks?"
"Sure."
