Shadow Empire

Chapter 496: Three Missing One [666+23]
A dozen young people with their hands raised walked out of a door in the scrap factory, and the police outside rushed over immediately.

The guy at the front walked up to Alan and punched him directly, "Get down!"

Allen didn't move, just watched, and the officer punched him again.

Because of the huge amplitude of the movement, the bells of the things worn on the body all rang.

After the punch, Alan's cheekbone turned red and two places were broken. The punch was not light.

He spat a mouthful of blood on the officer's shoe. When the latter wanted to punch Allen a few times to teach him a lesson on how to respect police officers, someone grabbed his arm and shook his head.

"Good luck to you!"

The officer who came later pulled him aside and said, "There's no need to do this..."

The police officer who beat Allen did not say anything and just remained silent.

Of course he knew that there was no need to do this, but people living in this world are not just themselves, there are many other people and things.

It's not easy to climb up the ranks in the police department, unless you have enough money to bribe Charlie and Hunter.

Or, you become what they want you to be, a running dog.

There was no doubt that he had no money to bribe Charlie and Hunter, nor was there anyone capable enough to say a few words for him.

The only thing he could do was to behave like a qualified lackey, offering his loyalty, barking and biting.

He believed that his display of loyalty could be seen by Director Hunter and Congressman Charlie, who were paying attention to this matter, and he might get some attention as a result.

The police officer next to him actually understood his colleague's thoughts, but he couldn't say anything about it.

After all, this is his own business. He wants to make progress, and it has nothing to do with me, so I have no right to say anything.

Allen and the others were handcuffed and put into a police car. Eugene's wife and children were also rescued. It seemed like a successful rescue.

Not everyone knows that a new storm is forming.

Charlie, sitting in Hunter's seat, supported his chin with one hand, thinking about what was happening.

To be honest, some things were beyond his expectations.

At this time, the office door was opened, and Hunter came in from outside and sat on the chair that was usually occupied by visitors and subordinates. "Lawyer Robben is here, and he has brought legal documents. We can't keep these people."

Charlie nodded. His initial idea was to surround Lance's men and force Lance to call him.

What is most important when encountering problems is the initiative and the communication channel.

As long as Lance called him, Charlie would take the initiative and establish a communication channel, and then the rest would become easy.

He would tell Lance that he would not take Lance's people away, but he also hoped that Lance would hand over Eugene's wife and children to him.

Then he would act as a middleman to mediate the relationship between the two parties, and the matter would end there!
This is not what the Bay Area meant, it's his own idea.

The idea of ​​the Bay Area is to let him teach Lance a lesson and let Lance know that Jingang City is the Jingang City of the Bay Area, not the Jingang City of his Lance family!
Mr. Hof and some people also expressed their dissatisfaction with the Lance family behind the scenes. Such a large gang is entrenched in the Empire District and the Port District. If they are not dealt with, people outside will think that Jingang City is in chaos!
But Charlie himself knew very well that this matter was not so easy to handle. He wanted to postpone the matter and give Lance a way out.

Who could have thought that Lance would not take this opportunity and directly let his men surrender.

Things are getting a little troublesome.

Congressman Charlie, who originally wanted to take the initiative, not only lost all the initiative in an instant, but was also pushed into the fire by Lance!
Looking at Hunter sitting opposite him, Charlie leaned back. He didn't like Hunter's chair very much. It was a bit soft and he felt like he was sliding down when he sat on it.

"What do you think?", he asked.

Hunter was stunned for a moment, "What do you think?"

"The relationship with Lance." Charlie took out a cigarette and lit one. "I don't know what happened. People in the Bay Area are not very friendly to Lance now."

"Plus, the Kodak family is behind this incident. Have you noticed that it seems that they are confronting half of Jingang City?"

"We are caught in a difficult situation and we have to make a choice."

In the past, as a loyal hound of the Bay Area, Charlie had to deal with people from the lower and middle classes of society who had no background.

If he really encounters some famous people, he doesn't need to deal with them. The masters in the Bay Area will personally take action to deal with those who don't get along with them.

So even though he is a running dog and a knife in the hands of the Bay Area, this dog bullies the weak and fears the strong, and this knife has only been used to cut fruit.

Charlie felt a little uneasy about having to go up against the Lance family now.

And this time, there will definitely be a winner.

He thought he knew Lance more or less. He knew that although Lance looked normal, he was actually a crazy person behind the scenes!
In the past, he only had to do his job well, but now he needs to take care of many other things.

Hunter was silent for a while. He understood what Charlie meant. It was time to make a choice on behalf of their "team".

This was a difficult choice. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can we win?"

Charlie's eyes were a little erratic behind the smoke, and he nodded quickly, "Yes." "I have been in Jingang City for almost sixty years, and I have never seen anyone who can defeat the Bay Area."

“Whether it’s the mayors, the politicians, or the five major families, the strongest ones can only compete with the Bay Area, but cannot conquer it.”

"Lance is not as good as many of them. Even if he can't lose, he can't win."

This is not Charlie advocating the strength of the Bay Area, it is a fact.

Over the years, how many people have appeared and eventually disappeared trying to challenge the order of Jingang City?

Not to mention the far ones, the closest one is the mayor. He was almost successful, but didn’t he fail in the end?
The Bay Area is not so easily defeated. They still have stronger, more terrifying and more destructive means that they have not yet used.

The more important the status of Jingang City is, the greater the killing power of the Bay Area’s killer weapon will be!

Hunter pondered for a while, "Do we have a chance to choose?"

Originally there was.

If Lance had called Charlie as Charlie wanted, then they would still have a choice.

But Lance directly rejected their chance to choose, turning everything into opposition, and they had no other options.

Both of them understood this and fell into silence.

"Then get ready."

Hunter nodded, and Charlie stood up. "They all say we are running dogs, so let them see how powerful running dogs are!"

After saying that, he walked out the door, "I'm going to go to the Bay Area. I'll call you if I have anything..."

Charlie has prepared himself mentally. He has to communicate with the masters in the Bay Area.

Since Lance has been thoroughly offended this time, he might as well overthrow Lance and his Lance family!
With the Kodak family, the Bay Area, and the police system united together, how could they not be able to deal with Lance?
He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Lance was so strong, nor did he believe that they could still be so weak even if they united!
Ten minutes later, Allen and the others were released as soon as they arrived at the police station.

As soon as they left the police station, they came to a convoy parked on the side of the road.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Lance's face, "What's wrong with your face?"

Alan touched his swollen cheek, grinned and said, "A dog bit me."

Lance looked at his face for a few more seconds and nodded slightly, "Since it was a dog bite, just kill the dog."

He looked at the boys and felt relieved when he saw that no one else was injured.

"The attitude of the police department has changed. You must be more careful in the future. Do you understand?"

The young people nodded, "Understood, Boss."

The convoy started slowly. Elvin, who was sitting next to him, was a little confused. "Will Hunter and his men really attack us?"

Lance nodded and looked out the window at the solemn police station building.

The city police station in Jingang City looks very solemn and dignified, but in fact it is the headquarters of the largest "gang" in Jingang City.

"The fact that he can help Shi Dong fight against us shows that they are ready."

"Charlie wanted me to talk to them, but I didn't give them the chance at all."

"It's either an enemy or a friend. There's no middle ground."

"Leave them here and there, let them jump around, and then stab us in the end?"

"Let someone find out what's happening to Eugene and his family now. We can't just ignore justice because Charlie and Hunter are starting to get into trouble too."

"Once we find it, we'll dispose of it and leave it in front of the police station."

Erwin nodded and wrote this down. He didn't consider whether doing so would anger the police department, Hunter, or Charlie.

Since I've already offended you, I might as well offend you even more severely!
Fortunately, the Imperial District Branch and the Port District Branch have now fully redirected their efforts to Lans under Lans' profit-sharing model.

Even if Hunter transferred Chief Blue and Chief Duke away, the new chiefs would either die in an accident or be completely sidelined.

What they have to deal with is not only Lance and the Lance family, but also the food, clothing and good life of more than a thousand police officers from two police stations!
In the evening, the police officer who beat Allen drove out of the police station.

He was indeed a little impulsive today, but he also really wanted to be valued.

Hunter found him and asked him to do a good job, which made his inner anxiety disappear and he relaxed.

He was thinking about how to perform harder and make Chief Hunter realize that he was willing to increase his responsibilities when suddenly a car hit his car from behind.

"Egg!"

He pulled the handbrake hard to stop the car. He bought this car with a loan, and he hasn't paid off the loan yet!
If he doesn't make a fortune from the idiot behind him, his loss will be in vain!
