After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 404, Episode 437: A Tribute to the Unsung Heroes (Part 1)

So Leng Zhan secretly took Luo Hui's package.

When I got back to the office and opened it, I found a blank hardcover notebook inside.

The laptop's cover was badly damaged, peeling and cracking badly, and it was filthy, like it had been picked up from a garbage dump.

The notebook did indeed have a putrid smell, which was consistent with the characteristic of being picked up from a garbage dump.

Leng Zhan thought it was a prank, seeing only a blank, dirty notebook.

It's not uncommon for reporters to receive prank packages or even more threatening ones, especially Luo Hui, who is known in the news department as a stubborn guy who always reports the facts without fear of any threats. He is one of the people in the news department who receives the most threats and intimidation.

Leng Zhan knew about this, so he threw the broken notebook into the trash can.

"Fortunately, Luo Hui's colleague and friend Wang Jun knew about the package Luo Hui had. Luo Hui met with Wang Jun privately before going to Tianjin. Originally, Wang Jun was going to go undercover, but Luo Hui felt that Wang Jun had parents to support, a wife and children to raise, and so many reporters who went undercover to Tianjin had already disappeared, so it was obviously a place where death was a near certainty. Luo Hui himself was an orphan with no wife, children, or ties. He persuaded Wang Jun to go first and made a promise that if he also disappeared, and if there was no news of him, it meant he was still alive. If he died, he would definitely find a way to contact him before he died."

"After Luo Hui disappeared, the news department issued a strict order forbidding reporters from going to Tianshi for undercover investigations."

Zhang Hong learned from Leng Zhi that it wasn't just the reporters who went undercover to investigate who had gone missing in the city; several groups of soldiers sent by the military to investigate had also disappeared.

This brings us to a special place in Shijiazhuang, or more precisely, in the entire Shang province.

The province of Thanh is located at the border of the southern part of the country with the no-man's-land. The no-man's-land outside of Thanh is not a country, but a collection of tribal groups. It is surrounded by mountains, with a dangerous natural environment and complex terrain.

Such places are difficult to manage even with modern firearms; they were even more difficult to manage when only cold weapons were available. As a result, this area has long been a breeding ground for outlaws. Anyone who commits a crime in any country can basically be safe if they can hide in this place.

This has continued for generations, and now countless evils are hidden in this no-man's-land.

Moreover, in the face of great interests, the current no-man's-land is different from before. Many countries have secret interests involved with certain individuals or groups within it. On the surface, no one cares about anyone in the no-man's-land, but in reality, there are many powerful backers.

The province of Som is adjacent to it and has many connections with this no-man's-land, making it one of the most difficult areas to manage in the country.

A few years ago, the military dared to openly confront and attack.

Simply put, although Shang Province is on the national map, we haven't fully controlled it yet. The government in Shang Province is state-run, but a few years ago, the government still couldn't control the various forces within Shang Province. Besides monopolizing the resources of Shang Province, those people all had real weapons and dared to openly confront the government.

Over the course of more than a decade, countless government staff at all levels in Shang Province have sacrificed their lives, and many are still 'missing' to this day.

It was only later, when our technology became slightly more advanced, and with the help of those heroes who risked their lives despite knowing the odds were against them, that the situation in Shang Province improved somewhat. At least on the surface, it appeared that the government was in charge.

But that's only what's out in the open.

This situation persisted until six years ago.

The Soil Province is very large; this is one example. Furthermore, the country has more than one Soil Province. Managing a country requires considering far too many factors. It's not that we can't concentrate our efforts to eradicate Soil Province, but rather that it's not feasible. We can only proceed gradually.

To be precise, we have no choice but to put it aside for now. In the past, our overall strength was too poor and backward. Strengthening and developing ourselves was the priority. In the process, maintaining stability for all parties was also the priority.

Therefore, during this period, the province of Shang cannot be allowed to descend into chaos. The province of Shang is located next to a no-man's-land, which involves far too many countries, including the United States and the United States.

The best approach is to maintain a stable surface appearance, then allow it to slowly infiltrate and wait for the right opportunity.

Six years ago, that time came.

In terms of technology, we can barely be considered to be able to intimidate quite a few countries, namely the United States and the United Kingdom. Although they have been testing us, suspecting that our technology has fallen behind, at least for now they are only testing us.

This is the time.

The province of Shang is a thorn in the side of all the elders. It is a no-man's-land where everything is possible except for the legal stuff. Since Shang is not under their control, it has everything. And then, things that shouldn't exist in the country often flow from Shang to other places.

For example, D-grade drugs are the most famous in the no-man's-land. Due to the climate, it is very suitable for growing M-grade drugs. Almost all groups in the no-man's-land have plantations with huge areas of land.

We are a country that strictly prohibits drugs, but as long as there is demand for them, they cannot be completely banned. Countless heroes have sacrificed their lives in the fight against drugs, and some of these heroes are even unable to leave their names after death.

Because the province of Soil has never been fully controlled, it has become a huge and uncontrolled gateway for drugs to enter our country.

Therefore, after temporarily intimidating the surrounding areas, the elders unanimously passed a resolution to purge Shang Province.

This is no small task; the dangers involved are no less than those of going to war.

Several tubes were used simultaneously, and the troops were naturally among them. Leng Zhi was the one representing the military, and he had already led his troops to be stationed in Shang Province.

Zhang Hongying was always worried when she thought about it. There were troops stationed in Shang Province, but as you can imagine, no one knew how many of the original troops were still loyal. Leng Zhi didn't bring many people with him, only a regiment, but there was an entire army in Shang Province.

Taking over the existing troops in Shang Province was no easy task for Leng Zhi, especially since he would have to contend with various factions within the province after taking over.

The conflict between the government and local forces in Shang Province has now reached a fever pitch.

Since the purge plan began a few years ago, forces that had been operating in Shang Province for over a decade have been dismantled, with those who should be executed executed and those whose assets should be confiscated confiscated.

The province of Shang is now basically under the control of the state, but that doesn't mean it has been completely eradicated; the real bigwigs are still hiding.

That's why the Information Department strictly forbade reporters from going to the province of Thanh when the cleanup operation began, because if they went there again under those circumstances, they would really be easy targets.

Those people have always despised undercover reporters. They don't care about human life. But at least before, if a reporter's identity was discovered, there might still be a chance to live. However, after the plan started and those people were under pressure, if a reporter's identity was discovered, there would really be no way out but death.

“Wang Jun did not go to Fang City, but he kept it on his mind. Many people thought that Luo Hui must have gotten into trouble, but Wang Jun did not believe it because he had not received any news about Luo Hui.”
