Chapter 107 Huge Profits (Second Update)
"I'm sorry, miss!" the man apologized hurriedly.
He quickly realized that the woman in front of him was not someone he was going to mess with, and that he had messed with someone he shouldn't mess with.
Look at these two armed policemen, they are fully armed, especially the equipment they have, they are even worse than those in the county.
I'm afraid only the armed police in Pune County, the capital of the district, have such a configuration.
After all, he has some vision and he is not wrong about this.
Especially when he saw that the two armed policemen were obviously obeying the orders of this woman, he dared not have any other thoughts.
Fortunately, the woman didn't bother with him.
When Lisa walked to the jeep, an armed policeman rushed forward to help her open the door.
After seeing the car leave, the man couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Who is this woman? I wonder if she passed by here or something. I've never seen her here before. Hiss~ She seems to be the third runner-up of the Miss Mabon beauty pageant. Her name is~ what's it? No wonder she looks familiar." He remembered who this woman was.
"Mr. Goyal, are you okay?" The owner of the pharmacy saw what happened just now and felt it was a bit scary, especially since the other party was carrying a gun.
Normally, the police have a very bad reputation, and they take bribes. Business operators like them have to hand over a certain amount of money every month. Now that they see someone with a gun, they are naturally more afraid.
The boss dared to come out only after they left.
"Something's wrong. Ouch, it hurts so much. Please help me see if there is any medicine that can relieve the pain."
Soli Goyal is a businessman in Diwa Township. His family has some assets and he is considered a minor celebrity here.
Lisa's jeep soon arrived at the police station.
When Du Ke saw Lisa getting out of the car, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't expect that the friend that Rotten was talking about was a woman, and so beautiful.
"Who is this?" Du Ke said hesitantly, "He looks familiar to me."
"Let me introduce you, Lisa Scindia. This is Chief Duko Chauhan of the Diwa Division Police Station!" Roton introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, Miss Cynthia! Oh, by the way, I remember, you are the third runner-up of Miss Mabon?" Du Ke remembered. No wonder he felt that Lisa looked a little familiar.
"That's her." Rawdon said with a smile.
"As expected of Miss Scindia, she is even more beautiful in person than on TV." Du Ke said with a smile.
"Director Johan, you're too kind. You can just call me Lisa." Lisa said hurriedly.
"Haha~~ Deputy, it's the deputy chief." Du Ke laughed, his eyes moved back and forth between Roden and Lisa. With his sharp eyes from many years of police career, he naturally saw that the relationship between the two was definitely more than just friends.
Du Ke secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that this Roton was really capable. It seemed that the two of them were probably in a romantic relationship. It was amazing that he could even win the third place in the Miss Mabon Contest.
However, he remembered that Roden was now a person valued by Director Shah, so this was not a big deal.
After dinner, Rawdon and his party returned.
Originally, Lisa was still worried that Rodon would bully her again on the way back.
But she realized how worried she was, because this time it wasn't Rowton himself who was driving.
Instead, she let an armed policeman act as the driver, and she and Rawdon sat in the back seat.
After getting in the car, Rawdon remained silent.
Lisa saw that Roden was in deep thought and did not disturb him.
She couldn't help but recall the lunch scene.
Although Du Ke was the deputy chief of the district police station, she could see that Du Ke's attitude towards Luo Dun was obviously not that of a superior, and he even seemed to be trying to please Luo Dun.
Lisa reacted quickly to this situation. Needless to say, it was because Rotten's backer was Pirando.
This Duko Johan might know this, otherwise as a superior he would not be so polite to Roden and her.
Turning her head to look at Rotten's profile, she saw that he was in deep thought, probably thinking about something important. Lisa suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken a little.
This kind of man is attractive.
When she was in college, she had countless suitors.
Many of those guys do come from wealthy families, but that is not their own ability. They just rely on their family's power and wealth. She looks down on them.
She knew that Luoton was born into a poor family of low caste, and it was not easy for him to get to this point now. How many people could do it?
Of course, she knew better that Rawdon still had a lot of room for improvement.
Suddenly, Lisa trembled. It turned out that Rawdon grabbed her hand.
"You~~" Lisa whispered.
There was a third person in the car this time, and Lisa was afraid that Rotten would do something out of the ordinary.
"Lisa, I want to ask you something." Roden said.
"What's the matter?" Lisa asked curiously.
She found that Roden's expression was very serious. She was overthinking it. The other party didn't have those thoughts at all.
"Do you know the Mindis Mountain Coal Mine?" asked Rawdon.
"Of course, everyone in Harage Township basically knows about it. It should have happened more than ten years ago. It was a barren mountain at that time. Dalits~ Oh no, it was a gathering place for many poor people..." Lisa originally wanted to say Dalits, but she immediately remembered Rawdon's fierce reaction when she looked down on his low caste in Mumbai, so she quickly changed her words.
What Lisa said was similar to what Du Ke said, but their emphasis was different.
Du Ke focused on introducing to Luoton some of the behind-the-scenes forces and shareholders who currently control the coal mine. Of course, there are some things that Du Ke doesn't know about, and he can only speculate that there are big guys involved behind the scenes.
It is precisely because of this that the coal mine is very powerful, with nearly a hundred private armed guards, at least half of whom have guns, and their firepower is stronger than that of the district police station.
Lisa is more inclined to believe the folk version, which is that the local family, led by Raj, colluded with the county, and some officials and dignitaries in the district occupied the mine.
Moreover, the mine is located between Maharashtra and Karnataka, so there are also forces from Karnataka involved. It is very complicated and conflicts occur from time to time.
“In fact, local people in Harague Township rarely call the mine Mindis Mountain Coal Mine,” said Lisa.
"Oh, is there any other name for it?" Rawdon asked curiously.
"This?" Lisa looked a little hesitant, and after hesitating for a long time, she didn't say anything.
"Can't say?" Roton frowned.
It’s just a name, what’s the taboo about it?
"I said, don't be angry." Lisa said in a low voice.
"Tell me, why am I angry? What does it have to do with me?" Rotten said with a smile.
"Everyone calls it the Untouchables' Coal Mine," Lisa whispered. "You told me to say it, so I'm telling the truth."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Don't think too much." Luoton said with a smile.
He understood Lisa's little thoughts and was afraid that she would think she was still discriminating against lower castes.
Now, Rawdon could understand a little bit about Lisa's discrimination against lower castes.
There's no way, this is India.
Lisa is from a high caste and has been indoctrinated with this idea since childhood.
Now it’s very good that I can change myself.
No one is perfect.
"The Untouchable Coal Mine?!" Suddenly, Rawdon exclaimed.
"Ah? What's wrong with you?" This scared Lisa.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just thought of something." Roton comforted.
Luoton's heart sank. He didn't expect that this matter was related to Maharashtra's Finance Minister Rajiti Nair.
He had seen Rajiti's little red book for accounting before, and there was an item called "Untouchable Coal Mine", which should refer to the Mindis Mountain Coal Mine. The amount of the account for this project was huge, and it could be ranked among the top three in that little book.
In other words, Lajetti gained huge profits from the Mindis Mountain Coal Mine.
Duko had told him before that some bigwigs from the state might be involved in the coal mine. Now it seems that this matter is a foregone conclusion, at least Rajiti can confirm it.
No wonder the Dalit rebellion in Haragu Township has never been reported in the media.
Let’s not talk about other people for now. Rajiti’s identity as the Finance Minister of Maharashtra is scary enough. Basically, few people dare to offend him.
And with Ragetti's network of connections, he can indeed shut up most of the news media.
The most important thing is that Rajiti can manipulate the government and put pressure on those news media in the name of the government to shut them up.
So the rebellion here has lasted for more than ten years, and there is basically no news from the outside world.
Roton thought about it and decided to remind Pirando about this matter so that he could be mentally prepared.
If Pirando was afraid of Ragetti, or had any relationship with Ragetti, then this matter would probably not be able to continue.
Roton didn't want to become a victim.
Thinking that it was Ragiti's credit that brought him to the Harreg Police Station, Rotten had previously wondered if Ragiti wanted to use the villains to kill him.
Now it seems that the most likely possibility is that Ragiti wants to use the armed forces in the coal mine to kill himself.
This made Luoton alert.
After all, according to Du Ke, the enemy's firepower is strong, with nearly fifty people holding guns, which is outrageous, and even the sub-district police station cannot match them at all.
Not to mention the Harreg Police Station. If he hadn't brought ten armed policemen with him, there would have only been three or four old-fashioned guns in the police station.
It can be said that the armed forces of the Dalit Coal Mine are the largest armed force in Haragu Township and even in the Diwa Division.
The Dalit villains certainly have the largest number of people, but they still have very few guns and other things. It is said that there are no more than ten guns in total, and they are all old guns.
Of course, there is also good news for Rawdon.
That is, the guns used by the coal mine armed forces are also those old guns, basically rifles from the World War II era, which fire one round and pull the bolt.
The guns of the ten armed policemen on Roton's side are different. Although they are not the most advanced rifles in the world, they are also automatic rifles, which are much more powerful than those on the opposite side.
This made Roton feel a little more at ease. If a head-on fight really came up, he could definitely kill them all.
"We're here!" The car arrived at Lisa's house.
"Why don't you come in and sit for a while?" Lisa said after a moment of hesitation.
"I have something else to do at the police station." Luo Dun said with a smile, "If you have anything, you can come to me at any time, or call me on my cell phone."
Watching Rawdon's car leave, Lisa stood at the door in a daze for a while.
On the way back in the car, Luoton behaved very well. He just held her hand and didn't do anything else out of the ordinary.
He is almost a different person from when he left.
But Lisa knew in her heart that Rotten was preoccupied and had no intention of thinking about these things.
Thinking of how Rawdon bullied her in the car on the way there, Lisa's little face flushed, and she even felt something strange down there.
Is it tide? (End of this chapter)
