The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 215 Six Thousand Words and More

To be honest, even Kofi, who has been in this industry for so long, cannot understand what is happening now.

What he couldn't understand the most was: "Why would these people listen to us?"

Xiu Nuo looked at Xiong En.

Xiong En was also confused: "To be honest, Kofi, I don't know what's going on, but as my father said, these drug addicts are sometimes so easy to control. You know how the traffickers control those streetwalkers."

"Isn't it just about getting those streetwalkers addicted to these things, and then we can control them well? We can even make a good profit."

Coffey was still dazed: "I thought this was politics."

Xiu Nuo smiled and said, "Yes, this is politics. Isn't politics the art of compromise?"

“The police department will not sit idly by.”

"Then let the police catch them." Xiu Nuo said indifferently, "There will always be a time when it can't hold them anymore."

Coffey shook his head.

Suddenly, he thought of something even more terrifying and unsolvable.

Three months. Xiong En paid for these bastards for three months.

This proves that they have enjoyed free injections for at least three months.

God knows how much money the Basel family spent in these three months, but considering that a person can develop a habit by sticking to something for 20 days, the free contraband has become a habit for these guys after three months of use.

Relying on the police to arrest people? What if these people become addicted in the police station?
These guys can do anything during withdrawal reaction. It is normal for them to bang their heads against the wall and die.

Otherwise, why do we need special drug rehabilitation centers to quit drugs?
Drug rehabilitation is not something that can be achieved simply by locking someone up.

The police don't want these guys to die in the police station.

How to solve it?

Simple, provide them with contraband.

But this money
Who will come out?
Is there another idiot like Xiong En in the world who is willing to pay for them?

Even if the IRS people withdraw now, what will happen if Xiong En doesn't pay?
Kofi looked at Xiunuo suddenly: "Xiu, this kind of threat is what those people dislike the most!"

"There are many things they don't like." Xiu Nuo said nonchalantly: "Besides, we already have the next step, right?"

Xiong En chuckled and said, "I'll contact them right away."

LAPD.

Jim looked at the people brought back by his men with a grim expression. He waved to Hope, who had brought back the captured people, and called him to his office.

"What's wrong, Chief?" Hope, who had always followed Jim, has now been promoted to sheriff.

"Who told you to bring these people back to the police station?" Jim asked through gritted teeth.

Hope noticed something was wrong and whispered, "What happened, Chief? Is there some important person in here?"

"Is your identity the only thing in your pig brain?"

"What is that?" Hope was curious and aggrieved at the same time. "What can we do, Chief? These people broke into other people's homes and robbed things. It's okay for ordinary people, but they are causing trouble in high-end communities. We went out to the police station but didn't arrest anyone. What will happen if the LAPD is sued by those guys' lawyers?"

"Why not just beat them to death?"

Hope panicked: "Huh?"

"Just pretend you didn't hear anything. I'm asking you if it's wrong to arrest someone." Jim took a deep breath and said, "I'm asking you why you brought him back! Why don't you just put him somewhere where no one is?"

“But they broke into the house and robbed it.”

"Then what?" Jim's face turned red. "Then you brought them back to the police station. Let me ask you, what if... I mean, what if they have withdrawal symptoms in the police station? You brought back three people now, and our people can still control them, but now a lot of people are outside. Later, there will be fewer and fewer people in the police station, and more and more people will be arrested."

"Don't think that they are just a bunch of drug addicts who are hated by everyone. But believe it or not, if these guys who are hated by everyone die in the police station, countless relatives will immediately jump out to blame the LAPD and sue us for compensation! Do you want to use all your career bonuses to pay compensation to the families of these drug addicts?"

Hope was confused: "Is this so serious?"

"A lawyer friend of mine called me." Jim said angrily, "He told me to pay attention and make sure to handle this matter well. Many of his colleagues are watching us now. Once someone dies in the police station, those damn vulture lawyers will do everything they can to find someone who is even slightly related to the deceased, and then help them sue the LAPD for free!"

"Then now"

"I don't care what method you use." Jim took a deep breath: "Let them leave the LAPD police station, but don't forget. You have already captured the people. It is impossible to let them go directly. So, find a way to let them run away on their own. Do you understand? Within half an hour, I want them to leave our territory!"

"As for what happens next, there are some things I can't say. You should tell the other brothers that whoever catches the person will be responsible! Even if these guys die in front of the city hall, they can't die in the LAPD police station! Damn it, Hope, you are already the sheriff, you have to learn to think for yourself!"

Hope said with a sad face: "You didn't teach me this when you were the sheriff. I am the leader you brought up, have you forgotten?"

"Get lost." Jim waved his hands impatiently. "Hurry up and do this for me. If you encounter a case, go to the police immediately. If you can drive away the people, drive them away. If you can't catch them, give them a chance to escape. Do you need me to make it clearer?"

"Uh, I know."

Seeing Hope go out, Jim sat down in his chair. He now felt a headache.

He knew what the Bazel family was going through. But now Jim really hoped that Xiong En would quickly take the money and let these damn guys go back to where they were before.

And Jim couldn't understand how these drug addicts knew where the contraband was. Who gave them the information?
A name gradually emerged in Jim's mind.

But Jim shook his head. He was not the boss, was he? Would the boss care about these things?
However, if this trend continues, the next most dangerous entity would be the DEA, right?
Jim's ideas weren't just his own.

In fact, Los Angeles County and even other cities in California are facing the same problem.

It’s just that the situation in other places is not as serious as in Los Angeles.

But there are so many people in Los Angeles.

And suddenly a group of crazy drug addicts appeared on the street, who wouldn’t be scared?
With a little understanding, everyone will know what is going on. The reason for the recent safety is that these poisonous insects have gone to where they should go.

But now, not only did the free injection bill fail to pass, those damn politicians also investigated the people who threw the money away, making it impossible for them to spend it.

Let’s not talk about whether Xiong En is a lunatic or not, but at least he really gives his money to others.

At least he actually solved some problems.

The current situation in Los Angeles is that there are too few drug dealers, so this group of people are rushing into high-end communities.

But there are still drug dealers in other places, so what are these drug addicts doing?
What else can I do? I can rob.

Some small cities and towns are better, but any place of a certain size is not peaceful.

Moreover, all the police stations seemed to be in collusion at this time. It was impossible to lock people up, so they arrested people, drove them away, and then released them with excuses.

A few stubborn police stations arrested people, and sure enough, someone killed himself in the police station that same day due to withdrawal reactions.

Then there was the carnival of vulture lawyers.

At this time in Sacramento, another small meeting was held.

But this meeting was rather chaotic.

In addition to the lawmakers, some state government officials were also present.

But the chaos does not refer to this group of people expressing their own opinions.

But because
These guys are answering the phone.

"Yes sir, OK, we are discussing how to solve it. Don't worry, we will send police officers around your house to ensure that no one breaks into your house again."

"Don't worry! If it doesn't work, you should leave California for a while. Please believe that we can solve it."

Such words of being a grandson were heard everywhere in the conference room.

They may not care about what the people oppose or protest against, but they really have to care about the current situation of their financial backers!

A city government official hung up the phone, and finally couldn't help it. He slammed the table and said, "Why did things turn out like this!! Just now, fifty thugs broke into Mr. Towers's estate!!! Everyone on the Police Commission, is this how our police protect our citizens?!"

“Why are our policemen arresting people all the time, but there are still no drug addicts on the streets?”

A burly guy sitting next to the table snorted when he heard this, and then said, "You should ask someone else. This incident was not caused by the police. In fact, the crime rate in the entire state was declining before, right? Who made it like this?"

"Let's get Xiong En back." One of them couldn't help but say, "It's been two days. These guys are not even the blacks who are robbing. At least they have to sell the stolen goods to the second-hand market and then live in peace for a few days with the money. These drug addicts are having attacks every day and every moment!!"

The speaker sitting in the main seat gritted his teeth and said, "I remember I said that the IRS people had withdrawn yesterday, so theoretically, Xiong En should have started paying today! But did he pay?"

"That's a bastard who doesn't keep his promise!"

At this time, the California Secretary of Finance looked around with disdain: "Do you really think he is an idiot?"

Joel, the guy who was set up by Quan Rui.

He had a different mission at this time.

Joel looked at the people present with sarcasm: "There are many former colleagues in the parliament here, so we are sitting here to discuss issues against the rules. In this case, everyone should stop saying those high-sounding words. As far as I know, you have already received enough benefits, right?"

"But even so, you still use such dirty tricks on a child, and now you still expect him to come back and give you money? Oh, God, how long have I been away from the parliament? Are all the parliamentarians in these years idiots?" "Joel." Someone said dissatisfiedly: "Don't forget, it was Xiong En who broke the rules first!"

"How old is he?" Joel looked at the guy in front of him. "Twenty-six? A fool, a fool who relies on his family's wealth. He got his seat with money, more than the campaign funds of all of us here combined! And what about you? How old are you?"

"I watched that meeting, and to be honest, I felt sick! A group of people plotting against such a child, I really despise being associated with you! Didn't any of you think of communicating with him in advance?"

"You expect a child who doesn't have a politician in his family to play political games with you? I'm flattering you when I say you're idiots. You're just a bunch of arrogant idiots!"

Look, this is the confidence of the Accounting Minister.

However, Joel would not have dared to curse like this three months ago, but he dares now.

"They are half buried in the ground. They plotted against a child, a child from a gang. Is it okay for him to retaliate against you in his own way? Did any of you tell him what he should do? Did any of you try to communicate with him to reach a political deal? No. You didn't."

"Because you think that this guy who was born as a drug dealer is not worthy, you think that he can be easily controlled by a child. So now, this is the price you should bear, isn't it?"

"Joel!" The speaker had a grim expression. "We didn't invite you here to listen to you criticize us old friends. You should know that."

"Of course I know. I'm here because everyone needs money." Joel spread his hands. "But it hasn't come to my point yet. I just couldn't help hearing some stupid things. To be honest, I think some of you should be sent to Mexico to gain some experience."

"Only in this way will they know how to deal with those barbaric guys."

"Oh, it's really interesting. You must be crazy to investigate a thriving industry. Their workers didn't take to the streets, which was their greatest restraint. A lot of people here are from Los Angeles, right? I remember there was something hanging on the street lamp in Los Angeles before? Did someone want to be the second one?"

These sarcastic words made the group of people look gloomy and uncertain.

But there's no way, as Joel said, they really need this finance minister now.

"The question now is how to solve this problem." The speaker took a deep breath: "How can these drug addicts be quieted down?"

"Let them go back a few days, just like they have been doing in the past three months, and get the injection for free," said Joel.

"We all know this, so is the Ministry of Finance willing to take the money?"

Joel raised his neck and said, "Don't even think about it! Why should I pay for it? You are the ones who caused the trouble, and you want the finance department to pay for you to clean up your mess? I will be the one scolded by the taxpayers, and I will also be the one investigated in the future. Unless there is legislation, don't even think about asking me to take a dime!"

"Xiong En used his own money to appease these drug addicts." Joel looked at everyone present with a smile: "Can't you all pay for it yourself? Even if you don't pay for it yourself, you can pay together, right?"

This silenced the group of people.

They just don’t want to pay for it themselves!
We are here to make money, not to spend money.

But how could they refute what Joel said?
There's no way to refute it.

Someone immediately said, "Expose Xiong En. Funding is no longer a problem for him, but he has not fulfilled his promise."

Joel looked at the people around him.

This is also an official of the state government.

He sneered, "What a great idea, sir. Xiong En's reputation has been ruined. Now he really doesn't have to pay any money in the future. It's already like this, isn't it? Is it so important for a politician to fail to fulfill his promises before taking office? Everyone here must be fulfilling their promises seriously, right?"

Another official said: "The problem is that even if we do this, there will be no less trouble."

The people in the parliament looked at the official and asked: "Can you please talk properly?"

"Speak nicely?" The first person from the police committee also spoke up. "You caused all the trouble. You didn't solve the problems you should have solved. You caused the administrative system to be criticized and blamed. We are sitting here to discuss with you instead of applying for an investigation because of our old friend! Don't push your luck, sir!"

The speaker slapped the table and said, "Okay, everyone! We are not here to quarrel, but to solve the problem! Does anyone have any other solution?"

One councillor said: "Can't we just let the police shoot?"

"How many crazy drug addicts are there? Tens of thousands, right?" The former policeman sneered, "I'll rob you and get you a job. Are you going to open a bank? Don't worry, there are enough bullets!"

The congressman who made this suggestion blushed.

Joel saw that the time was right, so he suddenly said, "I can't do anything, but I know someone who might be able to help."

Everyone was stunned: "Who?"

"Los Angeles Council member, Schwenk, that guy always has some tricks up his sleeve."

Everyone looked at each other and said, "I think I've heard of this name."

"Yeah, I think I've heard of it."

"Are you sure Joel?"

"Just give it a try. You don't have any other options anyway."

"What about others?"

"I called him over, and this guy just happened to come looking for me."

After a while, Schwenk walked into the meeting room.

"Swenk." Joel greeted enthusiastically: "Come, come to me."

Schwenk walked over to Joel and smiled, "I actually heard some of it outside."

"Do you have any solution, Mr. Schwenk?" someone asked quickly.

Schwenk pursed his lips and said, "Hurry up and pass legislation to make injections free."

"Hey!" As soon as this sentence was said, Joel shouted in dissatisfaction; "Swenk! I didn't ask you to say this!"

Schwenk said helplessly: "But this is the most effective way, but everyone must know this, so... our top priority now is to calm these people down."

"And to calm them down, you need a lot of contraband. And that means a lot of dollars."

"But I believe that people asked me to come here because they didn't want to pay for it themselves. And unfortunately, I can't afford it."

Joel scratched his ears and said, "Let's get to the point, Schwenk. Didn't you see that their faces don't look very good?"

Schwenk smiled and said, "Actually, there is a place with a lot of contraband. As long as you can get some connections, you can use it for emergency use. It may not completely solve the problem, but at least it can solve the current trouble. Then we will have more time to discuss what to do."

Everyone was stunned: "A large amount of contraband? The kind that doesn't cost money?"

“In theory, no.”

"Where can there be so much free contraband? Those illegal growers? Should we catch them and take their stuff away now?"

"It's too late." Schwenk smiled and looked at everyone, then slowly said, "This is the DEA's temporary storage warehouse. I'm from the Los Angeles City Council, so I know how many drug dealers the DEA has killed in Los Angeles County. There are a few familiar faces here. You should have seen the DEA's bravery at home, right?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Schwenk continued, "However, how to go through the procedures and how to get the DEA to give us these things? This is beyond my imagination, but I believe you all should have a way, right?"

The speaker's eyes lit up completely. He looked at Schwenk as if he had discovered a treasure: "That's a good idea, sir! You really shouldn't just stay in Los Angeles!"

Schwenk smiled and said, "It's my pleasure."

The speaker looked at the man sitting next to him who had not said a word and said, "Governor, we may need to fly to the East Coast."

The person next to him stood up immediately.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. At least there was a temporary solution to the problem.

All the previous unpleasantness disappeared in an instant, and everyone seemed to become extremely friendly.

However, they did not leave together. The members of the parliament left first. But just as they walked out of the manor, they suddenly heard angry roars: "Go to hell, you bastards!"

I saw a group of angry guys rushing in from the gate, each of them with sunken eye sockets.

At first glance, it's the kind of poison that has penetrated into your bones.

There are more than thirty of them at a glance.

Security guards immediately rushed over to stop them, but some of them pulled out guns.

In the restroom of the manor, Joel heard the gunshots outside and suddenly laughed: "Guess which unlucky guys got shot?"

Schwenk shrugged nonchalantly. "Who cares? We all know that for these guys, they will only really think of doing something if they are really threatened. It is reasonable for a group of drug addicts with no contraband to shoot a senator who refused the free injection proposal out of desperation."

Joel said with emotion: "Ms. Quan is right. How can drug dealers' revenge be bloodless? By the way, have you told Miss Quan?"

"Notify them immediately."

At Dark's manor, Xiunuo stood up and said, "Jonas, where is the new suit you designed?"

Xiong En next to him was stunned: "Sir, where are you going?"

Xiu Nuo patted Xiong En on the shoulder and said, "Just do your thing according to the plan. I'm going to help those politicians solve some problems. I hope they will thank me."

Jonas ran over with a set of clothes in his arms: "Here, boss."

Xiu Nuo took the clothes and said, "Remember to send those who can't hold on to the safe house."
