“Lin…Lin Dong? Boss Lin?” Peng Demin’s voice suddenly caught in his throat. “You…how did you get here?”

His hand, which was gripping the window frame, trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Today, Lin Dong's name is so well-known in Asia and even throughout the entire planet that it's no exaggeration to say it's "famous throughout the land".

Lin Dong walked over, his suit jacket hem sweeping across the dappled sunlight, and said, "Young Master Peng just said that I can't interfere with the affairs of the Red Mansion?"

The entire street fell silent, with only the low growls of Hummer and tank engines.

The hundreds of Kokang self-defense soldiers surrounding the Red Building all took a half step back in unison.

They recognized the man who had single-handedly defeated the combined forces of Bai and Wei during the Battle of Old Street.

The turrets of the two T-72 tanks began to slowly turn, but then got stuck at a strange angle.

They are afraid.

"Brother Lin is joking."

Peng Demin hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed the communicator, intending to issue an order not to act rashly.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Two muffled thuds suddenly echoed in the night sky.

Two bodies fell from the roof of the office building on the east side of the Red Building; they were the two self-defense snipers who had been lying in ambush.

Xiao Yi led three black-clad youths to the rooftop of the office building.

"Da da da... da da da..."

Immediately afterwards, bursts of AK-47 automatic rifle fire rang out from the buildings on both sides of the street.

More than twenty bodies of self-defense soldiers continued to fall from the building...

Even before entering Milan Street, Lin Dong had Xiao Yi and twenty young soldiers get off the car ahead of time and quietly sneak into the Self-Defense Army's defense zone.

These teenagers were indeed extraordinary; each strike was ruthless and deadly.

"Young Master Peng, I'd like to ask, what kind of grudge would warrant your order to use armor-piercing incendiary bombs?"

Lin Dong raised his hand and caught a spent cartridge case that had fallen from a rooftop on the street, his fingertips tracing the dark red phosphate coating on the case.

"This..." Faced with Lin Dong's question, the usually quick-witted Peng Demin didn't know how to answer.

"For your father's sake, if you withdraw your troops now, I can spare your life for the time being."

"But I will personally find out the whole story, and I will compensate where necessary and handle the matter properly."

Peng Demin's expression kept changing.

Lin Dong's sudden appearance completely disrupted his plans for the evening.

At this point, he was truly in a difficult situation.

Go ahead and do it; he won't dare.

Given Lin Dong's ruthlessness, killing Peng Demin on the spot would be considered lenient.

This killing god could wipe out the Peng family in a matter of minutes with just a word from the Dragon Gang.

Despite the Kokang King's fame, the Peng family wields considerable power.

But no matter how strong the Kokang Self-Defense Army is, it doesn't dare to confront the Dragon Gang head-on.

Peng Demin's tough stance just now was because he understood Kun Sheng's character. Under normal circumstances, when Lin Dong was not around, this old man Kun would never have the courage to go to war with his allies.

If I don't take action, I'll lose face.

All the opportunities I've been planning for these past few days might just go down the drain...

Peng Demin gritted his teeth, suppressing the humiliation and anger of having just lost more than twenty of his men:

"Brother Lin, my father's point is that my grudge with the Red Mansion is a private matter and has not harmed the interests of Kokang Casino, therefore..."

"So, even if it has nothing to do with the Dragon Gang, we have to go to such lengths?"

Lin Dong waved his hand, interrupting him:

"Stop talking nonsense, soldier, are you going to retreat or not?"

Lin Dong's assertiveness surprised everyone.

After all, he was facing no ordinary person.

He is not only a staunch ally of the Dragon Gang in Kokang, but also the son of the Kokang King in the eyes of many.

Why bother with something as unrelated as Dream of the Red Chamber?

"Boss Lin, are you really going to get involved in this?" Although Peng Demin was afraid, he was not willing to give up.

He didn't want to easily give up this opportunity tonight to overthrow the Dream of the Red Chamber and completely take it for himself.

On the surface, it seems that his military expedition was for the sake of face and a woman.

In fact, apart from Peng and his son and the government's special envoy, few people knew the real reason.

"I'll give you one minute to think it over. Whether or not to withdraw your troops is up to you."

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he turned his gaze away from Peng Demin and said no more.

Tick-tock...

Time passed second by second.

Not a single person dared to make a sound along the entire half of the street.

Half a minute passed quickly.

Peng Demin bit his lower lip hard, just as he was about to make a decision.

The street shook.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

At the corner of the intersection, a thick cannon barrel suddenly appeared.

Then, a huge, dark green creature emerged from behind the building.

"T-90 heavy tank?"

Peng Demin was startled and quickly looked again.

One, two, three, four...

A total of 12 T-90 tanks drove to the intersection one after another, and finally formed three rows and arranged an attack formation.

Twelve cannon barrels, menacingly pointing forward...

Compared to these rows of heavy weapons, the two T-72 tanks of the Self-Defense Forces looked rather pathetic.

12 to 2.

It's not just a numerical superiority, but also a technological superiority in weaponry.

A gang actually owns heavy tanks?

Dragon Gang, are you even human?

"It's Xiang Shanhe's tank company!"

The appearance of the T-90 heavy tank shattered Peng Demin's last shred of hope.
