Wang Yuan witnessed the firefight involving members of the Black Dragon Society, but Zhuge Kong insisted that the Black Dragon Society had nothing to do with it. Frustrated, Wang Yuan smashed his phone. After doing so, he remembered his other identity as the Police Chief of Liyuan City. He took his sister's phone from the Art School, swapped in his SIM card, and began calling for reinforcements to the scene. Since the sheep were already dead, the priority was to fix the sheepfold; perhaps he could still negotiate leniency from the organization.
The entire Liyuan City was in an uproar, and so was Yongzhou Province. Although various departments in Liyuan City and Yongzhou Province were issued strict gag orders, all media reports about the incident were suppressed. Only a small notice appeared on page eight of Liyuan Daily, stating that a criminal incident occurred last night in a residential community in Liyuan City, with no bodies found at the scene and police conducting further investigations.
While the official channels attempted to suppress information, they could not silence the voices from the public. In today's internet age, news cannot be contained. Forums, blogs, and social media platforms were flooded with discussions, photos, and even videos about a large-scale gang shootout in a high-end residential area of Liyuan City. Deleting or blocking posts had little effect; new ones appeared almost immediately. Posts about the gang conflict in Liyuan City proliferated, with users confidently asserting that it involved members of the Black Dragon Society, which had been rampant in Yongzhou for years. Some even analyzed the situation, claiming it stemmed from a violent turf war between two factions within the Black Dragon Society.
The contrast between the official low-key response and the fervent discussions online intensified public outrage. People began to turn their anger toward Yongzhou's officials, accusing them of focusing solely on their political achievements and GDP growth while ignoring or even enabling criminal organizations like the Black Dragon Society. This negligence led to gang members engaging in shootouts akin to military battles, leaving citizens living in constant fear. The government's inaction was seen as a breeding ground and driving force for criminal organizations in Yongzhou.
At this point, Yongzhou's officials finally stepped forward to clarify that the Public Security Department was fully engaged in investigating the case and believed a resolution would come soon. They urged citizens not to panic and to trust in the capabilities of the Public Security Department and government to bring wrongdoers to justice, asserting that overall security in Yongzhou remained stable and that this incident was merely an isolated occurrence involving a small group of criminals.
However, this clarification only escalated tensions further. The people of Yongzhou, who had suffered under the oppression of the Black Dragon Society for years, grew furious. They began denouncing Yongzhou's public security system and high-ranking officials for colluding with the Black Dragon Society, alleging that certain leaders had accepted substantial bribes from them, facilitating their growth and dominance. Posts emerged listing incidents related to leaders frequently interacting with heads of the Black Dragon Society. The accumulated resentment among citizens erupted at this moment; even those who once proudly claimed connections to government officials now wished to hide their affiliations.
Internally, the Black Dragon Society faced its own turmoil. Ren Xiaotian received a direct call from the head of Yongzhou Province's Public Security Bureau demanding a reasonable explanation for this incident and ordering him to submit a list of Black Dragon Society members involved in the shootout within three days; otherwise, he would face severe consequences.
Under pressure from the bureau chief, Ren Xiaotian had no choice but to issue strict orders to Zhuge Kong to investigate thoroughly who within their ranks had committed such a foolish act that drew so much attention. After a day of investigation, Zhuge Kong reported back that none of his men had participated in that night’s gunfight. Ren Xiaotian was dissatisfied with this response; although he did not believe his own men were responsible either—given that he knew well how heavily armed they were—he wanted Zhuge Kong to dig deeper for whoever orchestrated this incident.
Zhuge Kong was known for his meticulousness; Ren Xiaotian couldn't understand why he seemed oblivious this time around. Consequently, Ren Xiaotian convened a meeting with mid- to high-level leaders within their organization. Since everyone assumed it was indeed their doing regardless of explanations offered, they decided that their people would have to take responsibility for this incident. The blame was already assigned; after all, they were part of a gang. With such a large-scale shootout occurring among members wearing their uniform, they resigned themselves to fate.
The meeting concluded with a decision for Zhuge Kong to select several individuals from their ranks who came from poorer backgrounds without significant connections but were eager for a better life under government protection to act as heroes from that night’s gunfight. In terms of how it all began and unfolded during the shootout itself, Ren Xiaotian encouraged everyone to collaborate on crafting a plausible narrative that aligned with developments for police reporting purposes. He felt exasperated at having to bear such burdens while managing a gang; if he had to keep doing this kind of thing regularly, he might as well change careers and become a writer instead!
Thus, while they prepared to shoulder blame for this incident, investigations would continue vigorously until they uncovered who framed the Black Dragon Society. Based on collective analyses, it seemed likely that other smaller gangs within Yongzhou Province coveted their dominant position and territory and sought to undermine them through such tactics. Therefore, under the guise of this investigation, they aimed to decisively eliminate other small gangs within Yongzhou Province and clear any obstacles on their path.
In recent days, Yongzhou officials have also held numerous high-level meetings due to the significant impact of this incident; clearly, the Black Dragon Society had become too brazen. While they had always engaged in illegal activities discreetly before, now they had resorted to gunfights right in residential neighborhoods! This infuriated higher-ups; Ren Xiaotian truly believed he could rule Yongzhou without regard for party governance or national laws? Most importantly—did he forget about being accountable to citizens? Therefore, decisive action against the Black Dragon Society was imperative! It would not be easy for Ren Xiaotian to smooth things over without spending considerable resources!
In Yongzhou, the higher-ups initially believed that this incident would become an opportunity for them to get rich. However, they did not realize that at this very moment, an invisible net had quietly begun to unfold, waiting to catch the parasites of the nation and its people.
The day after the gunfight in Liyuan City, a compressed file was sent to the Ministry of Public Security's inbox. The email was sent anonymously, and according to the IP address traced by the technical department, it originated from an internet café near the gunfight area in Liyuan City. The email account was even created on the same day.
Why did the Ministry of Public Security take this email so seriously? Because upon opening it, they found a video inside that captured the scene of the gunfight from the previous night. Although the video quality was poor, likely shot with a mobile phone, it had a good angle, presumably taken by a resident on a lower floor. The video clearly showed the clothing and weapons used by both sides in the chaos. The colleagues at the Ministry recognized immediately that these weapons were real and belonged to military configurations from the civil war period. They were shocked; this was simply too brazen! Did they still consider this society a harmonious one governed by rules? This was reminiscent of warlord behavior before liberation. Such criminal organizations could not be tolerated; they must be decisively eradicated! The email also included screenshots of discussions from several forums regarding this incident and some opinions from the sender. This quickly drew significant attention from senior leaders at the Ministry of Public Security, prompting an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle the situation.
During the meeting, senior officials at the Ministry reached a consensus to establish a task force once again to investigate and combat criminal organizations in Yongzhou Province. Additionally, they added a new point: to investigate the relationship between these criminal organizations and certain leading cadres in Yongzhou Province. Furthermore, Director Xu suggested that given previous task forces established by the Ministry had failed to uncover any valuable information, perhaps this time they could bypass Yongzhou's official channels and use alternative methods for investigation. For instance, the task force could be stationed in neighboring Binhai Province and utilize its police force for investigation. This would prevent any misleading actions from individuals within Yongzhou's police who might have ulterior motives, avoiding a repeat of past failures.
Although Director Xu's suggestion was somewhat unconventional, it was feasible. After careful analysis of the situation, Minister Duan Hong of the Ministry of Public Security approved Director Xu's proposal. This time, they were determined to turn this case into an ironclad one. Regardless of the cost, they must curb the rampant criminal organizations in Yongzhou Province and restore a stable and prosperous harmonious society for its people.
