A certain underground casino in the coastal area is hidden deep inside an abandoned factory, surrounded by high walls and barbed wire, making it appear exceptionally secretive.
The casino's interior is luxuriously decorated, with colorful lights creating a dazzling world, and the air is filled with the rich smells of tobacco and perfume, creating an intoxicating atmosphere.
The place was bustling with noise and excitement, with gamblers shouting loudly or talking in hushed tones, interspersed with excited screams and frustrated sighs.
Guoqiang, the owner of this underground casino, was sitting on a large sofa, a cigar between his fingers, and a smug smile on his face.
He truly didn't know that the batch of flour was fake, nor did he know that his woman had been brutally murdered by Brother Ba.
At this moment, he was rich and powerful, in a good mood, so naturally he came to the casino to have some fun.
This casino is also one of his businesses, and a large amount of money flows into his pocket from here every day.
Just now, Brother Guoqiang listened to his subordinates' report and learned that the casino's revenue had reached a new high today, which made him extremely happy.
However, just then, a noisy commotion outside suddenly broke the pleasant mood.
Guoqiang frowned, picked up a musket, and strode out.
Guoqiang was stunned as soon as he appeared.
At a glance, you can see that Brother Ba and his gang have surrounded the casino. Everyone is armed and has a serious and cold expression.
Ba Ge stood at the front of the crowd, a cold smile on his lips, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Brother Guoqiang, I'm here today to help you pass on to the afterlife. You're about to go to heaven." Ba Ge's voice sounded exceptionally clear and cold amidst the noisy casino.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately opened fire with muskets at Guoqiang's side.
Immediately, the scene descended into chaos, with gunshots, screams, and shouts mingling together to create a bloody and brutal picture.
The two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle, each fighting with all their might to send the other to their doom.
Guoqiang never expected that Ba would act like he'd taken the wrong medicine and try to do something to him today.
While dodging incoming bullets, he shouted for his men to retaliate.
However, the enemy's firepower was too fierce. His men fell one after another, and he himself was hit by several bullets, his clothes stained with blood.
With the cover of his men, Guoqiang managed to escape the encirclement through a small opening.
Guoqiang stumbled forward, followed closely by the footsteps and gunshots of Ba Ge and his men.
Several hours later, night had quietly fallen, and the abandoned factory was pitch black, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.
Guoqiang was covered in blood, curled up in a corner of the factory, his face as pale as paper, and his breathing weak.
Guoqiang almost thought he was going to die here without knowing why, and his heart was filled with resentment and doubt.
When the underlings outside rushed over and saw Guoqiang's appearance, they were all terrified.
They rushed forward to help Guoqiang up, bandaging his wounds while anxiously inquiring about his condition.
Guoqiang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his anger continued to rise.
"What's wrong with that Ba Ge? Why did he suddenly attack me?" Guo Qiang's voice was low and hoarse, his eyes flashing with anger.
The underlings exchanged glances, and one of the slightly bolder ones whispered, "Brother Guoqiang, we learned from our informant that the batch of flour sold to Brother Ba seems to be fake. Brother Ba got so angry that he... he killed Sister-in-law. She died a horrible death."
"What? My sister-in-law is dead?" Upon hearing this, Guoqiang's wound bled again due to his emotional distress, and his face became even more pale.
Guoqiang never imagined that his woman would die tragically at the hands of Ba Ge.
However, after his anger subsided, Guoqiang began to calm down and think things through.
Since that batch of flour was fake, it wasn't something we made ourselves! The source of all this was Zhong Jiahao.
If anyone's going to cause trouble, it should be Zhong Jiahao! Why is Brother Ba coming after me?
Thinking of this, Guoqiang's eyes became even more determined and cold.
I can't let this go. I have to get revenge! Not only will I make Brother Ba pay the price, but I'll also make Zhong Jiahao, the culprit, pay for his crimes in blood!
"Notify everyone to prepare for a counterattack!" Although Guoqiang's voice was weak, it was filled with an unquestionable expression.
Once I recover from my injuries, both Zhong Jiahao and Ba Ge will be dead!
The coastal area is about to face another bloody storm!
Since Brother Ba isn't giving me face, there's no need to give him any more face.
At this moment, in a quaint teahouse, Director Wu sat elegantly in a private room, gently holding a delicate teacup in his hand. The aroma of tea rose gently, swirling in the air along with his thoughts.
He carefully reviewed the intelligence reports in his hands; each one was detailed and accurate, all of which Zhang Fan had meticulously collected through his extensive intelligence network.
"Zhang Fan, you've done a great job this time." Director Wu nodded approvingly, his eyes revealing his recognition of Zhang Fan's abilities. "The fact that the two major drug lords in Binhai have turned on each other is a godsend. If we can take this opportunity to bring either of them to justice, it will be a great achievement."
Zhang Fan smiled, took a sip of tea, and appeared unusually calm: "Director Wu, you flatter me. This is also a matter of chance, but I believe that opportunity always favors the prepared. I have already placed informants on Brother Guoqiang's side. Once he starts to retaliate, we will be able to grasp his movements immediately, and then arresting him will be a natural outcome."
Upon hearing this, Director Wu's eyes flashed with a glint of light. He knew Zhang Fan's abilities well and was full of confidence in this operation: "Yes, your plans are always so meticulous. My term is about to end and I will be transferred back to headquarters soon. If I can solve another big case at this critical juncture, it will be the icing on the cake and bring my career to a perfect close."
At this point, Director Wu gently put down his teacup, his gaze becoming profound: "However, Zhang Fan, this opponent is no ordinary foe. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong. Brother Guoqiang and Brother Ba have been entrenched in Binhai for many years, and their influence is complex and intertwined. If we are not careful, we may alert them."
Zhang Fan nodded, his expression still calm: "Don't worry, Director Wu. I have a complete plan. Not only will we catch one of them during their shootout, but we will also follow the clues and destroy the entire drug trafficking network behind them in one fell swoop."
Director Wu grew increasingly fond of this young man.
Now we're just waiting for this case to be resolved.
Zhang Fan remained calm. Hu Dajun had already made arrangements, and he was fully aware of the movements of those two.
The fact that two villains are fighting is good news for me; such bullies definitely need to be dealt with.
The auction is coming soon, and whether we can make a fortune depends on this.
Zhang Fan looked at his phone and saw an unfamiliar message.
Someone invited me out for coffee?
Who is this person?
Zhang Fan would never have imagined who this person was.
