Old Chen took the cigarette, lit it, waved to Lu Yuan, and then sped away.
"Looks like something really bad is going to happen! I wonder if these guys can complete the mission!"
With that in mind, Lu Yuan casually swayed his body and arrived at Zhou Tong's loading and unloading area.
"Lu Yuan? What brings you here?" Zhou Tong was taken aback when he saw Lu Yuan, then put down the oil drum on his shoulder and walked over.
"Speak here!"
Lu Yuan led the other party to a secluded spot nearby and said, "Long San has made a move! It's District 55!"
"Oh? You're going to make your move so soon?" Zhou Tong asked, looking surprised.
"That's right! This matter can't be delayed! So, pay close attention lately!"
"Okay! I understand! By the way, do I need to tell Xiwen and the others about this?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "You don't need to go. Just keep an eye on things here. I'll go and talk to Xiwen and the others!"
"Great! You're practically a robot, you finished so quickly?"
"Hehe! That's right! I'm just killing time anyway, I'll go ask the others! Be careful when you leave tonight!"
Surprisingly, there was no traffic congestion outside the factory gate when people left work in the evening. The employees inside the factory all looked on with astonishment.
"Hey! That's weird! Are they letting us leave work early today?"
"That's hard to say, they've probably made some new moves! Let's wait until 2 a.m. before going back!"
"Oh right, those people seemed to have driven away with their stuff! Shall we go?"
"..."
The crowd discussed amongst themselves, peering through the crack in the door, but after a long time, they still couldn't spot any of Brother Long's men.
Just when everyone was wondering what to do, a truck suddenly drove out of the factory area, followed by a second, a third...
Five trucks were parked in a row on the main road in front of the factory.
Brother Long arrived at the door in his Honda sedan.
The people on the truck got off one by one, lining up neatly like military trainees receiving instructions from their instructors.
His stern gaze swept over everyone, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on Brother Long's face.
"The main reasons I called you all here today are as follows! First, it's about this mission! You're not going to District 55 to fight. Every one of you is my brother, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt because of me. So, this time, we must handle this matter as calmly as possible!"
Then everyone immediately shouted, "We are willing to go through fire and water for Brother Long!"
Brother Long had a big smile on his face, his face glistening with oil under the flashlight.
He then gave some words of encouragement before the battle. Although he kept emphasizing not to fight, everyone knew that this confrontation with District 55 was bound to happen.
First, the fact that they brought so many people to someone else's territory was clearly a form of intimidation. It would be strange if the other party didn't get angry, and it would be impossible for them to sit down and negotiate peacefully. Second, Brother Long also knew that most of his men were known for fighting and being ruthless. Even if they were to talk peacefully, a single wrong word could immediately trigger a fight between the two sides.
Lu Yuan and his family sat under a dead tree, watching the situation outside.
Han Wen held a notebook in his hand, glancing up at the people outside every now and then before looking down and writing again.
Finally, Brother Long's long speech came to an end. With a wave of his hand, all the trucks immediately headed towards District 55.
After everyone had left the oil depot, the workers inside the factory slowly emerged from the premises.
"They're really gone! We can go home now!"
Someone shouted, and everyone cheered, walking towards their dormitories with smiles on their faces.
"Let's go! Let's go back to sleep!"
On the way, Xiaoshan kept replaying what had just happened in her mind.
"Will Long San lead his men into a fight with District 55?"
Lu Yuan chuckled: "Is that even a question? With their formation, of course a fight will break out! If you don't believe me, we'll see tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot of people coming back to work with injuries!"
"Oh! How did you know? What if a fight doesn't break out?"
"They won't fight? That's even better! Brother Long can still control this little corner of the land, and we've only just stabilized. If we get a different leader, who knows what kind of trouble will arise! Forget it, don't think about it. This is a fight between local bullies, it has nothing to do with us! Going home and sleeping is the best thing to do!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan put his arm around Xiao Shan's shoulder and walked briskly towards the dormitory building.
Lu Yuan guessed correctly. Just as Brother Long led his men to the outside of District 55, the situation of the convoy immediately attracted the attention of Song Qiang, the local boss of District 55.
"Damn it! What exactly is Long San trying to do? Is he bringing people to cause trouble? Come on! Grab your weapons and follow me!"
Song Qiang was not someone to be trifled with. If he were to cower and refuse to step forward when others were already taking advantage of him, he would definitely be looked down upon by his subordinates. He became the leader by being daring, hardworking, and resourceful. Although he was tired of the fighting and killing, his subordinates liked it. After all, their food and drink problems were still unresolved, and only those with money could barely make ends meet. As the leader, he had to consider the needs of his subordinates.
