Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

"Not so good," Wu Bei responded calmly, "I'm not interested in cooperation. Besides, don't treat me as a fool. If you give me half of the shares, I'm afraid that as long as I release your son, I will be arrested by the police outside immediately, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Your Jiang family can still come up with 50 million star coins. I must take this money away today, otherwise you can just wait to collect your son's body!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

Jiang Ansheng spread his hands and said, "In this case, let my Jiang family teach you outsiders how to behave. Who has the final say in this Ice City?"

"If you dare to move, I will kill your son first!" Wu Bei threatened.

"very good."

As he spoke, Jiang Ansheng led a hundred or so brothers out of the heavy factory building, and then asked someone to contact Zhao Wen, the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, to report that someone had smuggled a large number of firearms and kidnapped his son, Jiang Ansheng.

After receiving the case, Deputy Director Zhao Wen quickly mobilized most of the police officers in Ice City, about four hundred people, to cooperate with more than a thousand gang members to start besieging the heavy factory building.

If this scene was seen by an outsider, it would probably become a joke, because it is so ridiculous that gang members can work with police officers to investigate cases.

But if the people of Ice City saw it, there would be no ripples, because they were used to it. They would only sigh, thinking that it was another unlucky guy who offended the heaven of Ice City.

"Bureau Zhao."

Jiang Ansheng smiled and said to an elegant middle-aged man, "Thank you for troubling me today. After the matter is done, I have some good things and will send them to Director Zhao."

"Serve the people without asking for anything in return."

Zhao Wen said, "According to the information, there are no less than 60 or 70 people in this factory, and each of them has a gun. If they force their way in, I'm afraid your son and your brothers will be in danger!"

"How about," Zhao Wen looked at Jiang Ansheng and said, "First take out 5000 million to redeem your son, and then kill these kidnappers?"

"Need not."

Jiang Ansheng looked at Zhao Wen and said, "Just now, we received a message saying that the 50 million does not need to be in cash, and we need to transfer it to Centurion Bank. You know, Centurion Bank is backed by the superpower Citigroup. Once the money is transferred in, it will be very troublesome to take it out. So I believe in Director Zhao, and I believe that your methods will definitely punish the kidnappers inside. If my son has any accident because of this, it will be his life."

"With what you said, Brother Jiang, it's much easier for me to handle this, but please rest assured, Brother Jiang," Zhao Wen said, "I will do my best to ensure that your son is safe."

"Thank you."

Just when the two men had discussed and were preparing to storm the heavy factory building, an order suddenly came from above, telling them not to act rashly and even to withdraw their police officers.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Wen frowned and asked the secretary, "The deputy mayor asked us to withdraw the police officers?"

"That's right. The document just issued tells us to remove the police officers and not to touch anyone in the factory. Otherwise! Otherwise, Director Zhao will be dismissed from his position."

"Deputy Mayor?"

Jiang Ansheng looked confused and said, "When did another deputy mayor appear in my Ice City? Isn't there only one, Mayor Li?"

"He is a Kyoto selected student," Zhao Wen said with a sigh, "He was transferred here by the cabinet after the New Year. He is a disciple of the emperor. We have been getting along peacefully for a month. I didn't expect him to interfere."

"That?"

Jiang Ansheng looked at Zhao Wen and asked, "What should we do?"

"A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. My position is one level lower than that of the deputy mayor, so I need to apply to Mayor Li, or someone higher up."

"I'll contact you."

Jiang Ansheng said, "Wait for my news. I will contact the higher-ups as quickly as possible and ask them to put pressure on this Kyoto selected student. We need to let him know that this is not Kyoto, but Ice City!"

After saying that, Jiang Ansheng started to contact his superiors. The people he mentioned were the deputy director of the Provincial State Security Department and the deputy provincial governor.

When Jiang Ansheng contacted these protectors, Qin Lin immediately received a detailed list, which included officials from Bing City and even the entire Heilongjiang Province who supported the Jiang family.

"Amazing!"

Qin Lin said with murderous intent in his eyes, "No wonder I said the other party was so confident. Look, this Heilongjiang Province is rotten to the core. The provincial vice governor, the deputy director of the organization department, the deputy director of the national security department, as well as the governor of Bingcheng, the police chief, and the deputy chief, these layers of protection have completely enveloped Heilongjiang Province. We are still very happy in Kyoto that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy is developing rapidly. Now it seems that these termites have been fattened up."

"Use the satellite phone to notify the Northern Military Region and have Yuan Zhan mobilize the troops to suppress the rebellion. I want to thoroughly clean up the three black provinces and set an example for the national 'insect eradication program'."

"I'll arrange it right away," Liang Renzhong replied with a somewhat grim expression.

......

In the Northern Military Region, after more than a year of military reform, Yuan Zhan, the commander-in-chief of the military region, rested for a few days and returned to the headquarters. At this time, he was playing chess with Deputy Chief of Staff Xu Zhengde.

"I heard that when we attacked the Japanese imperial city, your 112th Army received more than million, and you, Old Xu, also got more than . You have to treat us to a meal!"

"My great commander!"

Xu Zhengde shook his head and smiled, "Since the end of the war four hundred days ago, I have invited you to dinner more than two hundred and seventy times, and you have said this more than two hundred and seventy times. Sooner or later, you will eat up all my money. Besides, I was transferred from the Eastern Military Region to the Northern Military Region by the military, so you should be the one to treat me to dinner!"

"How stingy."

"Look at Li Yunfei. After he became the commander of the 112th Army Group, he was so generous. How can you be so stingy and mean?"

"Speaking of making money," Xu Zhengde said, "you and Commander Guo are the real rich. A one million yuan bonus is nothing to us!"

"Hey!"

"There is a strict wife at home."

Yuan Zhan shook his head and said, "With this 100 million bonus, my wife bought a house in Bao City, a house in Jingdu, a house in Shanglu, a house in Guanghai, and a house in Haicheng. She took advantage of my position and bought one house after another. You said that houses can't be eaten, so why buy so many houses?"

"What can you do with a house? You can have babies."

Xu Zhengde took the next step and asked, "How much did you think a house in Shanglu cost five years ago?"

“I haven’t understood this.”

"Then let me answer," Xu Zhengde looked at Yuan Zhan and said, "Five years ago, a house in Shanglu only cost 40,000 to 50,000 star coins, and a good one cost more than 100,000. It was another story for a manor villa. But now, a small three-bedroom house in Shanglu costs at least 200,000. If it's a large three-bedroom house, it costs at least 300,000. It has quadrupled, doubling every year."

"What if it's ten years later?"

Xu Zhengde smiled and said, "This is because my sister-in-law has a long-term vision and is thinking about the future. With these houses, it is enough to ensure that your Yuan family will not have to worry about food and drink."
