Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

"Really? Is there any evidence?"

Mr. Hu continued, "He maliciously attacked the leader of the Blood Hand Gang. It seemed like the other gangs were voluntarily submitting, but in reality, weren't we aware? They were afraid of his force. He was intimidating them! All the small and medium-sized gangs were afraid!! That's why they had no choice but to compromise!"

"Rat King! This kid named Lu is challenging your authority! He's challenging the eternal and unchanging rules of the slums that you've established!"

After listening to this, the Rat King didn't even bat an eyelid as he slowly said, "The leader of the Blood Hand Gang tried to assassinate Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan simply relied on his own abilities to seek revenge, and... do you think I didn't investigate?"

"Even before Lu Yuan expanded, I had already sent people to investigate the true intentions of almost all gang leaders and high-ranking officials. It's true that some feared Lu Yuan's strength, but more of them were concerned about treatment. Furthermore... for those who didn't want to join Lu Yuan's forces, Lu Yuan didn't force them, but allowed them to leave. Don't forget, your Red Flower Society has absorbed quite a few..."

"This is normal. You win people over with quality, treatment, and strength. If your Red Flower Society can do the same, you can expand like this. I won't stop you."

After hearing what the Rat King said, Master Hu's face turned pale. How could he not hear that the Rat King was desperately trying to protect Lu Yuan? It was obvious! Lu Yuan was also his man!

Mr. Hu gave a look to the iron-fisted man beside him.

Immediately, the young and inexperienced leader of the Black Tower Society stood up and said, "Rat King! Are you really going to protect Lu Yuan to the death? Lu Yuan killed my father! I must kill him!!"

"That's your father's own fault... Besides, have you found your father's body?"

The Rat King's simple words immediately made Tie Wan's face turn pale.

Mr. Hu sighed heavily, as if he had made some important decision.

"Rat King... please don't push us. Under your suppression, the slums have finally stabilized. Why do you need to destroy the rules you set in the first place? Or... do you know you're old and won't live for many more years... so you choose to make one last desperate move?"

Mr. Hu's words made the Rat King, who seemed to be kind, slightly shrink his smile. Suddenly... his whole body became like a sharp sword, causing the air around him to tremble.

Mr. Hu was not afraid either. This was not the first time he had clashed with the Rat King. He also stood up and faced the King of the Slums directly under the pressure of the Rat King.

"Rat King! Don't forget! I am old too, and I won't live for many more years! My greatest wish in life is to sit in your place."

"If you hadn't supported Lu Yuan, and we had competed fairly, then if I couldn't win, I would die without regrets, but you..."

Speaking of which.

Mr. Hu's eyes grew fierce. "I have already prepared all my subordinates, as well as the private armed forces and elite troops that I have secretly cultivated over the years. As long as I give the order, they will indiscriminately attack other gangs at the same time and massacre this group of ordinary refugees, while allowing these criminals, infected people, and refugees to rush into the main city..."

"You know what will happen then..."

"When that happens, the slums will be in chaos, and so will Lungmen. The balance you've worked so hard to maintain will completely crumble..."

"Sometimes, balance is like a dam. Once it collapses, it's difficult to completely repair it... Then... what will become of Longmen?!"

"I only have one hope in my heart!"

"I hope you! Execute Lu Yuan!"

Mr. Hu's words were powerful.

Originally, Mr. Hu thought he would see the Rat King's anger, seriousness, and even... a little panic.

However, no.

This time, when he revealed this only trump card, it was completely different from decades ago.

The Rat King laughed at this time.

That smile gradually gave Mr. Hu a bad feeling in his heart.

The Rat King slowly rose from his seat, leaning on his cane, and said, "You... are like a frog in a well... unable to see the vastness of the world, always obsessed with this tiny piece of land at Longmen, always obsessed with this tiny piece of land right under my butt."

"Let me be clear with you, Lu Yuan is not mine at all, because... I don't have the qualifications..."

"Not only me, but the entire Longmen doesn't have this qualification..."

When the Rat King said this solemnly, Mr. Hu's eyes widened and he looked at the Rat King in disbelief.

"You should know from some intelligence that Lu Yuan is from Dayan, and his position in Dayan is very high...even higher than you can imagine!!"

"Your little trick is completely useless. It's not that I don't agree to your request, but... I'm not qualified!"

really...

Mr. Hu knew that he had encountered the worst possible scenario. In fact, when he was negotiating with the group of capital tycoons in Shangcheng District, he had more or less guessed the possibility of Lu Yuan's status.

only...

Mr. Hu is old and won't live for many years. He is unwilling to accept it, but he also holds on to a glimmer of hope. What if? After all, would a real big shot from Dayan come to the slums to do such a boring thing?

Now he has received direct recognition from the Rat King.

The last hope in his heart was completely dashed.

Even if he used this trump card, it would only cause chaos in Longmen, and would not be able to really shake Lu Yuan in the slightest. Even after Longmen was in chaos, he just walked away and returned to Dayan without any problem.

"hehe...."

Mr. Hu smiled bitterly, and the iron-fisted man next to him was confused.

"Give up... Even if you really take my seat, Lu Yuan can pull you down... So... why bother making things difficult for yourself..."

"Little Pony and Black Fox have already resigned themselves to their fate... Why are you so unwilling to accept it?"

Master Hu sighed and said, "Rat King, we've fought for so many years. You know my temper. I'm not someone who will accept my fate..."

"I know everything is already a foregone conclusion. Since I can't take the high position, then...what's the point of this Dragon Gate existing..."

"Rat King, I know you have a daughter named Lin Yuxia. I also know that your daughter went on a business trip four and a half months ago. Unfortunately, her informant told me that the special car she was riding in is about to arrive at Longmen..."

The Rat King's face suddenly darkened: "You!"

"Are you aware of... the Scourge Cult that was recently uncovered by the Guards?"

Accompanied by Mr. Hu’s creepy smile.

at this time.

Outside Longmen, in the endless wasteland.

A land vehicle drove towards Longmen. Lin Yuxia sat inside, actually looking forward to seeing how Lu Yuan would develop the slums.

After being away for four and a half months, there must have been a lot of changes.

Just when Lin Yuxia was thinking this in her heart, her driver suddenly said.

"Ms. Lin, can you see what's ahead?"

Lin Yuxia looked forward.

Quite close to the Dragon Gate.

There were actually hundreds of people standing right in front of the dragon gate in a strange posture.

In the center of them, there were actually many ochre-colored crystals placed, and the crystals looked like a small hill. There were many large transport vehicles parked around them. It was obvious that these crystals were secretly transported out in this way.

At this time, an old man standing in the center slowly opened his arms, looked at the dragon gate in front of him that looked like a giant steel beast, and raised his mouth cruelly.

And this old man was the one who proposed to form a business alliance in Shangcheng District.

“Natural disasters are the path of purification that the world brings to its people.”

"The unclean fear the scourge, the natural order, and we! We are born to rise to the occasion!"

"Everything is dedicated to! The Bringer of Scourge!"

For an instant.

The ground collapsed, and a bloody mouth suddenly appeared from the ground, swallowing the hundreds of people and the ochre crystals in the center in one breath!

Volume 1: Chapter 73: Desperate Situation!! & Mr. Lu!! It’s Mr. Lu!!!

a few hours ago

"Does the informant have any information?"

Shi Huaiya pushed open the door of Sir Chen's office, sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and the tiger tail behind her little butt twitched from time to time.

She had just finished handling a number of cases involving capital bosses in Shangcheng District who were involved in cult propaganda, sheltering, and participation, and arrested them without interfering with the normal operation of their companies and enterprises.

"No...."

Sir Chen shook his head and sat in front of his office with his eyebrows raised and a very serious expression.

How could such a large Guard Bureau not have informants in the slums? However, over the years, the intelligence game between the gangs in the slums and the Guard Bureau has become increasingly fierce.

Many informants hidden by the Guards in the slums were violently pulled out and lost their lives.

After a while.

The Guard Bureau no longer sent informants into the slums.

On the one hand, the training of informants requires extremely high investment, and the informants' loyalty is also extremely high. We cannot allow a situation where an informant becomes a gangster and then betrays the Guard Bureau.

This is quite difficult.

On the other hand, since the Rat King is suppressing the entire slum, it seems that there is naturally no need for the Guard Bureau to maintain the so-called balance.

Over time.

The number of informants in the slums has remained relatively low.

Except for very important tasks, they are not activated under normal circumstances. Moreover, these informants are replaced every ten years. As long as they survive for ten years, they can at least receive a super high task bonus and become an inspector after returning to the Guard Bureau.

However, this also means that the informant's ability to collect intelligence is definitely not as good as that of the local underworld forces in the slums.

That's why Shi Huaiya asked Lu Yuan to help investigate a little, after all, the slums were too big.

In fact, Shi Huaiya didn't think that there would be a clue so soon at the beginning. Unexpectedly, luck was really on the side of the Guard Bureau. A clue was found within Lu Yuan's territory, which allowed him to narrow the scope and finally lock it in on the "Red Flower Society".

at the same time

The informants secretly placed in the Red Flower Society by the Royal Guards Bureau received secret missions from Sir Chen, and they all took quick action to investigate as quickly as possible.

This investigation took several days.

"Well, although there's no intelligence yet, it might be soon. After all, thanks to our severe crackdown and relentless operations, the middle and high-level members of the Natural Disaster Cult in the main and upper city districts, as well as the ordinary believers, have already been apprehended and educated. The only ones left are a few high-ranking Dragon Gate Capital bosses who lack a complete chain of evidence."

Shi Huaiya leaned back on the sofa, poured herself a cup of tea and started drinking it.

"Do you want tea?"

“Come on…”

"Pour it yourself!"

Sir Chen: “..........”

Shi Huaiya continued to talk about the main topic: "However, the Natural Disaster Cult is almost dead in name only."

“Can’t say it’s too full...”

Sir Chen glanced at Shi Huaiya and said, "After all, the Red Flower Society still hasn't come up with any results from their investigation. If they do something weird, it would be really troublesome for us."

“Not to the extent that…”

"The Rat King is here to keep us safe."

Shi Huaiya shook her head.

Although Shi Huaiya has been talking about Lin Yuxia and saying that her father, the Rat King, is a gangster and will be brought to justice by the Guards sooner or later, it is just talk. In fact, Shi Huaiya knows very well how important Lin Yuxia and her father are to the entire Longmen.

The Rat King is more like an anchor that maintains the stability of the dark side of Longmen.

Once you confirm this anchor point.

The dark side of Longmen can be completely unbalanced, and the unbalanced dark side is like spilled ink, quickly infecting the part of Longmen that has been carefully cleaned.

Just when the two were chatting.

Suddenly, an urgent communication came into Sir Chen's mobile phone through a secret channel.

Shi Huaiya grinned and immediately became excited.

"Well, what do you say? It's true. The informant must have some information."

"Shh..."

Sir Chen put her index finger to her mouth and asked Shi Huaiya not to speak for the time being, and then she answered the phone.

"Hello? 111, please report..."

Sir Chen's voice was cold and serious

A rough and slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Chen! We may have some clues from the information you asked us to investigate."
