Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Three days later, at midnight, Lin Yaodong returned to Tazhai Village. He entered the village quietly and was not discovered by anyone except his family.

"Yaodong, why are you back?" Lin Deming looked at his son, his eyes filled with shock.

"Dad, I had to come back. I came back this time to find two trustworthy people to go with me. I'm all alone in this new team, and I'm too lonely!" Lin Yaodong said.

"You still want to find someone? That's going to be difficult!" Lin Deming said helplessly.

"Why?" Lin Yaodong asked.

"What else could it be? The people you took away last time, although they gave their families a lot of money, none of them came back. Everyone knows that you are risking your lives to make money, but no one is willing to risk their lives for a little money!" Lin Deming said.

"What are we going to do? We already have a stable factory and sales channels. If we don't seize the opportunity to make money now, what if something changes and we really won't be able to make money? When will our Tazhai be able to live a good life?" Lin Yaodong slapped the wall, his face full of resentment.

“Now, apart from Yaohua, I doubt anyone else would want to go out with you!” Lin Deming said.

"Yaohua is only nineteen, right? I'm a little worried about him!" Lin Yaodong said.

"What else can we do? Others don't want to go out!" Lin Deming said.

"Alright, then I'll take Yaohua with me tomorrow, it's settled then! Dad, I'll go see Yuzhi first!" Lin Yaodong said.

"Yuzhi and the child are already asleep, keep your voice down!" Lin Deming said.

"Yes, Father!" Lin Yaodong said.

Meanwhile, at Lin Dezan's house, Lin Dezan's father watched as the lights in Lin Deming's house went out, his eyes flickering.

Although Lin Yaodong returned unnoticed, even the slightest noise was enough to wake the elderly people.

"Sigh, what's the point of coming back again?" the old man sighed helplessly.

"Alright, don't worry about it. Call Dezan tomorrow and let him handle it!" his wife said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Alas, that's all we can do!" With a heavy sigh, the lights went out again.

Early the next morning, Wei Shang received a call from Lin Dezan, who said that Lin Yaodong had returned to Tazhai the previous night.

"Are you sure?" Wei Shang asked.

"I'm sure. My dad called me early this morning from the village store, but I reckon Lin Yaodong has already left by now," Lin Dezan said helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do. Communication is so difficult these days; it's already hard enough to know his whereabouts. We'll just have to keep searching!" Wei Shang said helplessly.

"By the way, Wei Shang, things have been very active in Wanbei lately. Commander Yun and Mr. G's gangs had a large-scale shootout! Both sides suffered heavy losses," Lin Dezan said.

"Do you know why?" Wei Shang asked.

“I’m not sure, but it seems Commander Yun had a plantation robbed of his land,” Lin Dezan said.

"It seems the rumors were true. Commander Yun is shrinking his operations and abandoning part of the market to sell rock sugar! I'm just curious, wasn't this guy a specialist in selling heroin before?" Wei Shang asked curiously.

"From what I understand, it seems that Commander Yun doesn't really manage things anymore; his son-in-law is handling everything!" Lin Dezan said.

"So this conflict is also because of this reason? Also, Mr. G, haven't you heard anything from your side?" Wei Shang asked.

“No, all I know is that he seems to be one of our educated youth from Beiping. I know nothing else. The main problem is that this guy’s heroin is all sold to the interior. I’ve been tracking his transportation routes, but unfortunately we’ve only caught a decoy. We haven’t found the real transportation route,” Lin Dezan said.

"Sigh, we still have to keep trying! This is a matter of life and death, we can't give up just because of a little difficulty!" Wei Shang said.

"Don't worry, I also graduated from the Public Security University! I won't forget our graduation oath!" Lin Dezan said.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Shang felt a wave of helplessness. Lu Shaohua was still missing, and now so much trouble had broken out in Wanbei.

"Hey, big brother, this is the seventeenth brother!" Wei Shang picked up the phone and called Wei Dong, who was far away in the southwest.

"Why are you calling me? What's up?" Wei Dong asked curiously.

"Brother, I've run into some trouble, and I'd like you to give me some advice!" Wei Shang said, and then briefly explained what had happened recently.

“It’s right that you take this matter seriously, but I think you’ve got it wrong. Whether it’s that drug maker Lu Shaohua or the chaos in Wanbei, we need to focus on the key issues right now!” Wei Dong said after thinking for a moment.

"What are your thoughts, brother?" Wei Shang asked.

"I remember the Lian family has a lot of influence in Mingzhu, right?" Wei Dong asked.

“That’s right, the Tianqiao Society can be said to be the number one gang in Mingzhu, with members from all walks of life. Moreover, my family also has people in Mingzhu,” Wei Shang said.

"Then you should secretly arrest a few drug dealers from Mingzhu and send them to the mainland to be executed! Make it a big operation! Let's intimidate these arrogant guys first!" Wei Dong said.

"Isn't this a bit against the rules?" Wei Shang asked hesitantly.

“Hehe, what’s the big deal? They don’t face the death penalty for drug trafficking in Mingzhu, so the cost of their crimes is very low. But the death penalty is much more costly on the mainland! And most importantly, don’t always think about playing the long game, or that you can wipe out the drug traffickers all at once! This is a long war, and we must be prepared for a protracted battle! But those drug traffickers who have already been exposed should be arrested as soon as possible. I don’t believe that once we’ve taken down the entire network at the bottom, the big drug lords will personally get involved,” Wei Dong said.

"Brother, are you planning to undermine our foundation?" Wei Shang said with a wry smile.

"This isn't some clever trick, it's just a temporary measure! We can't always be passive! We need to learn to take the initiative!" Wei Dong said with a smile.

“Alright, brother, I’ll try to get Mingzhu to select a few typical cases and send them to me! It just so happens that the drug traffickers in Mingzhu have close ties with the Golden Triangle, maybe we can dig up some valuable intelligence!” Wei Shang said.

“That’s right, small victories lead to a big one. As long as we keep chipping away at those networks, sooner or later those drug dealers will taste the power of our iron fist!” Wei Dong said.

"Okay, brother, I understand! But could you ask your military region to keep an eye out for any suspicious vessels while they're patrolling the South China Sea?" Wei Shang said helplessly.

"You mean Lu Shaohua set up the factory at sea?" Wei Dong was also learning about this for the first time.
