Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Do you know this person, sir?" the person on the phone asked curiously.

“That’s right, this person is a genius just like you, meticulous and ruthless! There’s no way that cowardly Li Zhenbiao could subdue such a subordinate!” Mr. G said.

"Would he confess something in order to save his life?" the voice on the phone asked.

"Haha, Mr. Guo, you're overthinking it! Do you think the mainland police can do anything to you or me? Don't forget, the person in the public eye has always been me!" Mr. G said with a laugh.

"In that case, I'll keep a low profile for a while!" the person on the phone chuckled.

"I reckon the Tianjin police will be dealing with Cai Tianming for a long time, so you should be careful! I can't spare any time to support you, since the whole of Wanbei is in complete chaos right now!" Mr. G said helplessly.

"Will this have any impact on our business?" the person on the phone asked.

"No, it will only affect the market in Mingzhu and the southern market in the mainland. After all, Commander Yun and Eight-Faced Buddha are at war and seizing plantations. They wouldn't dare to covet my territory! They're just two old guys who are about to die!" Mr. G said with a smile.

"That's good! I'm relieved!" the person on the other end of the phone said. After a few more polite words, they hung up.

Meanwhile, in Tianjin, Zhang Lei was in a meeting. Cai Tianming, whom they had captured, was willing to cooperate with the operation, so Zhang Lei wanted to take advantage of the situation and capture the major drug lord from Northeast China, Haha Ge, whom they were about to trade with!

"Ring ring!" A rapid phone call rang. Zhang Lei was about to get angry when he heard that the call sounded like his own. He stood up with a helpless expression, went to the seat next to him, picked up his phone, and found that it was from an unknown number.

"Hello? This is Zhang Lei. Who is this?" Zhang Lei asked, squinting his small eyes.

“Captain Zhang? This is Zhao Weishang from the Dongguang Police Department! Zhang Haiyang asked me to make this call to you!” Weishang said simply.

"Oh? Zhao Weishang? Zhang Haiyang asked you to call? What's the matter?" Zhang Lei obviously didn't know about Weishang's situation. He was only able to talk to Weishang because Weishang had mentioned Zhang Haiyang.

“Captain Zhang, there’s no need to be so wary. I’m just calling to ask you if you’ve arrested a guy named Cai Tianming? He told you he was one of Li Zhenbiao’s men?” Wei Shang said.

"How did you know?" Zhang Lei asked immediately, his voice filled with suspicion.

“This was also told to me by Brother Zhang. I called just to remind you that this Cai Tianming guy is not simple. You must not let your guard down!” Wei Shang said.

"Oh? I wonder if you know something, brother?" Zhang Lei asked, feigning casualness.

“Cai Tianming is not Li Zhenbiao’s subordinate; the two are partners! Li Zhenbiao sells heroin, while Cai Tianming mainly buys rock sugar! The two have frequent conflicts, and their cooperation is based on huge profits! Drug dealers cannot be trusted!” Wei Shang said.

"How do you know so much, brother?" Zhang Lei asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I have records of all the drug dealers in Mingzhu. Some I’ve caught red-handed, and some are just rumors. I know the basics!” Wei Shang said with a smile.

"Brother, you just told me that? It's not against the rules?" Zhang Lei asked in surprise.

“This is not the time to seek credit. If I don’t tell you and cause you huge losses, I would be doing a disservice to this uniform. Oh, right, I forgot to mention, I am the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Dongguang Province, in charge of intelligence and anti-drug work!” Wei Shang’s casual words shocked Zhang Lei.

"I'm so sorry, Director Zhao, I was very rude just now!" Zhang Lei immediately stood up straight and said apologetically into the phone.

Zhang Lei's actions made the people in the conference room tense up. The director? They didn't think he was some nobody. Judging from Zhang's expression and actions, the person on the other end of the phone must be a big shot.

“Don’t worry about those things. As anti-drug police officers, we have the same mission: to better protect the people. If I can provide you with assistance, then my intelligence is valuable! So, when you are dealing with Cai Tianming, you must be careful! Remember, drug dealers are not to be trusted. They will do anything to survive!” Wei Shang said.

"Yes! Please rest assured, Director Zhao, I will definitely remember!" Zhang Lei said solemnly.

"Alright, after this operation, remember to give me a summary of the operation. I'll contact you again after you're done!" Although Wei Shang was anxious to find out about Mr. G's network in China, since Zhang Lei and his team were now focused on arresting Li Zhenbiao, he didn't want to distract him. Besides, he felt that the Tianjin anti-drug squad didn't have the capability to investigate two major drug lords at once.

"Captain, what's going on? I heard you're called Director?" Officer Xiao Bei asked curiously.

"The other party is the deputy director of Dongguang, Lian Zhaoweishang. Do you know him?" Zhang Lei asked.

Everyone in the conference room shook their heads. They had no impression of Wei Shang. After all, after graduating from the Public Security University, Wei Shang worked on the covert front for several years, and few people knew him except for acquaintances.

"Let's not worry about that for now. Director Zhao just gave me some information: Cai Tianming isn't Li Zhenbiao's subordinate at all; he's likely an enemy! Now that these two groups have come together, there must be some big deal going on. So, we need to be even more careful this time!" Zhang Lei looked at his subordinates, his face more serious than ever before.

These henchmen naturally understood that there must be huge profits involved in getting two rival drug lords to cooperate! Everyone became excited.

Although the operation was extremely risky, it also yielded tremendous results! As for the danger? From the moment they put on these clothes, they had long since come to regard danger as commonplace.

"Xiao Bei, go and request a batch of heavy firepower from the chief! And bulletproof vests too!" Zhang Lei thought for a moment and realized that his operation plan had no other flaws. If there was any flaw, it was that if a firefight really broke out, his side would only have short guns, while the drug dealers would have heavy firepower, and then his side would be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Zhang Lei asked Xiao Bei to apply to the bureau for heavy firepower, which would naturally make up for the shortcomings, and if a firefight really broke out, his side would not suffer losses!

"Okay, Captain Zhang, is there anything else you need?" Xiao Bei asked.

“That’s all. Now you all go and prepare. We’ll go meet this Brother Haha in a bit!” Zhang Lei said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Yes!" everyone in the conference room answered solemnly.
