Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

In the end, Wei Shang did not get any particularly useful information out of Cai Tianming.

However, it wasn't all for naught. At least we found out that Mr. G's partner was in Haizhou, while Commander Wanbei's partner was in Tianjin.

Both sides kept a low profile, like venomous snakes lurking in the dark, quietly growing stronger underground. Wei Shang and Shi Yong's faces turned grim when they thought about the tons of face powder that Cai Tianming had mentioned.

"Director Zhao, should we tell Zhang Lei and the others this intelligence?" Shi Yong asked after a moment of silence.

"Don't tell him yet. Let's wait until he arrests Li Zhenbiao. Telling him now will only make him more anxious and won't help with the next operation!" Wei Shang exhaled a breath of stale air and said helplessly.

“Yeah, who would have thought these guys were hiding so well! I thought Li Zhenbiao was already the biggest drug trafficker in the country, with two or three tons of drugs entering the mainland every year, which was already pretty impressive. I never expected there were even more powerful ones below him, a ton a month? Who did they sell so many drugs to? How come there are so many people using drugs?” Shi Yong said with a bitter expression.

“It’s actually easy to understand. Take Dongxing in Mingzhu, for example. According to Tianqiaohui’s rough estimate, Dongxing sells 500 kilograms of rock candy and pills every month! How many people are there in Mingzhu? How many people are there in the mainland? The difference is just too big!” Wei Shang said.

"Director Zhao, does the Tianqiao Society really not know anything about Li Zhenbiao?" Shi Yong suddenly asked.

“Actually, it’s nothing. This so-called Li Zhenbiao is just an alias. According to the information I’ve received, Li Zhenbiao is not actually one person, but several people! They are all a bunch of cowards who never show their faces and act through puppets they put forward!” Wei Shang said.

"Aren't they afraid that the puppets will turn around and ruin their plans?" Shi Yong asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Haha, use your brain. Do you think a drug addict can ruin their plans? They use heroin to control the puppets, so they can safely remotely command them from behind!” Wei Shang said.

"That's quite convenient. Those drug addicts are capable of anything if you give them drugs!" Shi Yong remarked.

“And there’s another advantage, which is that we can do a test!” Wei Shang said.

"What kind of test?" Shi Yong asked.

“Didn’t you smell Zhang Lei? I heard they took Cai Tianming to see that guy called Brother Haha yesterday, and Zhang Lei must have fallen for Li Zhenbiao’s trick and started using heroin!” Wei Shang said.

"What?" Shi Yong was truly shocked. Who would have thought that the captain of the anti-drug squad was a drug user?

“There’s nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, why don’t I say that Li Zhenbiao uses addicts for testing? If you’re addicted, I’ll cooperate with you. If you’re not, then I’m sorry, I won’t cooperate! Anyway, they’re all addicts. Even if there’s any loss, we can just find another one! This stuff is just a consumable!” Wei Shang gave a helpless bitter smile.

"No wonder we couldn't catch Li Zhenbiao before, so this is the root of the problem! Why didn't you say so sooner?" Shi Yong looked at Wei Shang with some resentment.

“I only got this news last night! And you would never guess who passed this news to me!” Wei Shang said with a smile.

"Who? Isn't it the Tianqiao Society?" Shi Yong asked.

“How could that be? The Tianqiao Society never touches drugs, so their knowledge of the drug trade is basically only slightly more than that of those old ladies with bound feet!” Wei Shang shook his head and said.

"Was that another group of people that General Manager Zhao arranged?" Shi Yong looked around and asked in a low voice.

"No, it's not that! Sigh, it's Ni Yongxiao!" Wei Shang said directly.

"The second son of the Ni family from the Triads? Why did he pass the message to you?" Shi Yong asked, puzzled.

He was certainly no stranger to the Ni family. The Ni family, a notorious drug lord in Mingzhu, had its second son, Ni Yongxiao, take over the family's power after the death of the previous patriarch, Ni Zhen.

As the date of Mingzhu's return draws closer, Ni Yongxiao is considering a transformation, aiming to clean up the Ni family business and bring it back to the real world, while Ni Yongxiao himself is also seeking a career in politics.

“I don’t know the specific reason, but I guess it’s just that he wants to make a safe transition. After all, in addition to being an ordinary gang, the Ni family is also a major drug lord. And we can’t let such drug lords go. So he wants to exchange information with us for a chance to go ashore!” Wei Shang said.

"Director Zhao, it's best to remain skeptical about the drug dealers' information!" Shi Yong said.

“Old Shi, that’s true, but when you hold his life in your hands, do you think he’ll give up the chance to survive and lie to you? Or will he choose to expose his belly to save his life?” Wei Shang asked.

"It's definitely about survival! After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die! Besides, those who are rich and powerful will do everything they can to survive!" Shi Yong said.

“So I think the information provided by Ni Yongxiao is true. You know, the drug lords he cooperates with are mainly from the Buddhist Kingdom. You can’t be unaware of whose territory the Buddhist Kingdom is, can you?” Wei Shang said.

"You mean the Eight-Faced Buddha? What does he want to do?" Shi Yong asked.

"What else could we do? Of course, we'd take revenge! Commander Yun and Mr. G are both his enemies! We might not know their backgrounds, but how could his old rival, Eight-Faced Buddha, not know?" Wei Shang said with a smile.

"Is this considered an internal war among drug lords?" Shi Yong remarked.

"Haha, actually I think it should be called 'using someone else's knife to kill someone' more accurately! Just like that Blood Wolf's idea!" Wei Shang said.

"He wants to use the police to get rid of Li Zhenbiao?" Shi Yong finally realized.

“That’s possible, but I’m quite curious. For him to do this, it has to be based on the premise that he can successfully escape. So how is he going to escape now?” Wei Shang squinted his eyes and pondered.

The next morning, Zhang Lei and Cai Tianming set off for the designated transaction location. However, upon arrival, they were informed that the location had been changed!

How could Zhang Lei be led by the nose? So he immediately lost his temper and shot Li Zhenbiao's nephew, Li Shichang, breaking his right leg.

He pulled an earphone and a receiving device from Li Shichang's body.

"You guys don't play by the rules, do you? You think I, Brother Haha, am just some nobody? Let me tell you, this is the mainland, this is Brother Haha's territory! Now, the guys behind this, get out here right now!" Zhang Lei tried his best to embody the role of Brother Haha, hoping to project the aura of a triad boss!

Seeing that the puppet was about to be beaten to death, and that the person was also a drug addict, the drug dealers were really afraid that something bad would happen. So, in this dimly lit underground parking garage, they had no choice but to step forward for the first time!
