Chapter 522: Chapter 321 Epilogue
Number Five was still quite impulsive.
Sending people to Magic City to kidnap soone’s daughter was definitely not sothing he dared to do.
However, with other matters, Han Shan didn’t object.
Since their business was running restaurants, he had too many easy ways to deal with them.
The next day, a bunch of ruffian-looking people turned up at all the Fei Yangyang outlets in Sha City.
They were loud, tattooed, and often accompanied by punk-style girlfriends with dyed blonde or red hair.
One look at these people and you knew they were trouble.
Once they arrived, they’d casually order a plate of peanuts and occupy a table for the entire day.
Other custors would see this scene and stay as far away as possible.
Gao Hu flew out to Sha City the first chance he got.
Clearly, this was Han Shan deliberately making life difficult for them.
By the ti Gao Hu arrived, Chen Pingsheng had already moved his grandmother to another top public hospital.
She was receiving the best care and, barring any surprises,
his grandmother’s life expectancy was no more than half a month.
“Old Chen, that bastard Han Shan dares to make a move against you. Does he truly think you can’t handle him?”
Such underhanded tactics were commonplace in the nineties or before 2010.
If a restaurant operating normally was targeted like this, it would soon be finished.
Chen Pingsheng said, “It’s fine, he wants to play, right? Just keep him company, but don’t call the police. These next few days, specifically invite so out-of-town bosses to eat at Fei Yangyang, and invite so local leaders too. Let them all see just how arrogant Sha City’s youth has beco.”
“Heh… Alright.”
Gao Hu said with a laugh, “The son of a bitch is treating us like so small-ti owners. Let him reap what he sows.”
The silent struggle was the most tumultuous.
They were not twenty-year-olds anymore; who would go rushing in with knives to fight?
If you wanted them to lose business, all you needed to do was please you, right?
In 2017, there was a special campaign against organized cri and gangsterism.
At such a ti, to mobilize such a large group of idle youth to occupy their establishnt daily.
Alright then.
I might as well shut down business and don’t report it to the authorities.
Just invite so out-of-town bosses and local leaders to co and watch every day.
If the business environnt turned out like this, they, after all, were a publicly listed company.
If they suffered such unfair treatnt here, who else would dare to invest?
You guess what the leaders would think after seeing this.
With Tengying Group’s influence in traditional sectors, it was easy for them to organize various business gatherings.
Gao Hu didn’t even bother with local figures; he specifically invited people from out of town to witness the situation.
Locals might not say much, but wait until the outsiders went back and talked about it.
At every Fei Yangyang outlet, there would be one or two brash young punks at each table.
Utterly lacking manners, spitting sunflower seed shells everywhere, and noisily chewing betel nuts.
Han Shan lived up to his reputation as Sha City’s Cash King, managing to gather such a large group of unruly youths in such a short ti.
He did indeed earn his nickna.
But tis had changed, after all, it’s 2017. Where was there still room for such juvenile delinquents to survive?
Gao Hu held etings with bosses every day and took them on various tours.
One leader was the most interesting. Unable to bear it any longer, he directly approached the punks and asked, “Who are you guys, who told you to do this?”
That punk was truly audacious, uttering a remark he could boast about for a lifeti.
“Who the hell are you? Mind your own damn business,” he retorted.
The leader’s face turned ashen with anger.
This was the proverbial case of the calf not fearing the tiger.
He had no clue who the person before him was, nor his authority level.
He had even less understanding of a deputy mayor’s imnse power in a city.
That very afternoon, Sha City mobilized over five hundred police officers, sirens blaring everywhere.
Arrests were being made all around, and Number Five’s boldness successfully landed him behind bars.
Don’t act rashly in tis of trouble—this was sothing Chen Ping often said.
If not for that reckless young punk, the police wouldn’t have had to act so swiftly and decisively.
Even Han Shan only received the news afterwards. By the ti he was inford,
Number Five was already locked up.
Plainly put, the leaders could no longer stand idly by.
There was no opportunity for him to retreat or to be saved.
While making arrests, they also nabbed Old Fifth, the ringleader.
Gao Hu was thrilled; he hadn’t expected to feel so impassioned in middle age.
Yet Chen Pingsheng felt these were rely minor skirmishes.
All of it was to enable those oppressed by Han Shan to stand up.
Often, relationships are like a net, and even not being in Sha City, he understood that, on the surface, this net seed severely damaged.
But the true core hadn’t started to shake at all.
Old Fifth was at best a re enforcer and couldn’t make it to the real stage.
And the best thod to truly destroy this network was to bring in more powerful external forces.
For instance, the supervision group from the Capital City.
To bring down the supervision group, one must have so solid evidence in hand.
He wanted to encourage a group of people to go directly to the Capital City and report, only then could they thoroughly resolve the likes of Han Shan.
The arrest of Old Fifth sent a simple signal.
That the likes of Han Shan couldn’t cover the sky with one hand.
They were rely yet to encounter soone more formidable.
The mont they made their move, there would be flaws, and that was Chen Pingsheng’s opportunity.
A true master’s move is often plain and unadorned.
By the ti you see him “Drawing Sword,” you are already falling.
Han Shan, relying on his own underground gambling den, had brought down a large number of genuine businessn.
And with countless money and won, he had always been in the lilight.
Such deeds will not go unpunished; it’s just not ti yet.
The bodyguards he had sent to find people in the neighboring city ultimately brought back several victims.
When you are at the height of glory, everyone else can only endure in silence.
As soon as your bad day cos, they will assuredly erge together to stomp on you rcilessly.
Chen Pingsheng sent them to the Capital City overnight using his private plane.
He also had Bai Xin contact several powerful ladies there to introduce these victims.
The arrival of the investigation group was only a matter of ti.
After all, considering Han Shan’s actions over the years, they were absolutely horrifying.
Having handled the matter, Chen Pingsheng completely withdrew.
He no longer needed to manage the subsequent events; he would just wait for the higher-ups to send soone.
In these special tis, once evidence is in hand,
the likes of Han Shan will be investigated one by one.
The campaign against gangsters and evil would ultimately return most people to a peaceful society.
The greatest evil of gambling lies in it causing countless people to lose their fortunes, and engaging in usury while running gambling operations is unquestionably damning for three generations.
Han Shan had built a vast business network on the back of gambling.
And he would ultimately fall within it.
The days quietly passed, and June 3rd arrived.
An inconspicuous private car entered Sha City, carrying a nondescript middle-aged man.
In his hands, he held a plethora of information about Han Shan.
Han Shan, known as Sir Shan, made his fortune in the late 80s and 90s by dealing in aquatic products and contracting projects.
Later on, with introductions from fellow townsn, he t a large number of business owners.
After rapidly advancing, he started an underground gambling hall.
To maintain order in his gambling house, Third Master recruited underlings far and wide.
Over the years, he was suspected of committing over 30 cris, with nearly 10 people being battered and injured, indirectly leading to the possible death of two individuals.
In 2002, Han Shan lent high-interest loans to so business owners within the province, and also opened gambling venues and organized betting events in major hotels, attracting and enticing nurous business owners to participate, profiting from their participation.
In 2009, Han Shan recruited a large crew using illegal detention and other violent ans to collect debts from high-interest loans and gambling.
In February 2010, he registered a pawnshop company and adopted a corporate model to lend money at high interest rates, violently collect debts, and run gambling operations, gradually forming a violent gang with him, Sir Shan, at the helm.
Dire information indeed.
The visitor was the head of the supervision group dispatched directly from the Capital City.
He was also the main person in charge of the Han Shan case; faced with such extensive economic cris, it was hard to imagine how many people were involved.
Therefore, the operation was carried out in secrecy.
The investigative group dispatched were all elite agents from different regions.
In the face of conclusive evidence, all protection would prove illusory.
No one could block the sharp sword wielded by the Capital City.
