Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 738 Seizure of the Casino!

Li Aijun and Guo Jianguo quickly arrived by car at a place not far from the casino. After meeting up, the two men, each with their subordinates, began to move towards the casino under the cover of night, following the pre-arranged raid plan.

Having conducted multiple reconnaissance missions around the casino beforehand, the three groups quickly secured the casino's perimeter, and the personnel responsible for surveillance soon surrounded the casino.

"Big Brother! Something terrible has happened! Our casino is surrounded by the police!" Just as the casino was completely surrounded, a henchman in charge of security was about to find a place to relieve himself when he saw a group of heavily armed police officers rushing into the casino from the outside. This scene terrified him, and he scrambled and ran into the casino.

Upon hearing the shouts, Li Aijun immediately realized that their operation had been exposed. He quickly drew his sidearm and yelled to his subordinates, "Everyone, charge with me!"

"What! The police are here? How is this possible?" Lao Si's face changed drastically when he heard the shouts from outside, and he said incredulously.

Hearing the shouts outside and learning that the police had arrived, Uncle Qian's face flashed with panic. He then instructed Wei Qiang beside him, "Wei Qiang! Since the police were able to bypass our sentries and sneak here unnoticed, they must already know everything about our casino. Go find Xiao Liu right now and tell him that if he's willing to take responsibility for everything in the casino, we'll give him two big bucks."

"The others and I disguised ourselves as gamblers and hid among them. That way, even if we were caught, we would only be fined at most. I believe the police would never suspect that we were the real owners of the casino."

Inside the casino, when the gamblers learned that the casino had been surrounded by the police, chaos erupted. Some of the bolder gamblers even took advantage of the confusion to grab money from the gambling table, attempting to escape the casino.

Li Aijun and Guo Jianguo, each leading their men, entered the casino through several entrances. Seeing the chaotic scene and the gamblers fleeing in all directions, they swarmed forward and began arresting people.

The anticipated encounter with enemy agents or resistance did not occur. Under the forceful suppression of the guards, the gamblers in the casino were quickly brought under control. Li Aijun looked at all the gamblers squatting on the ground and the banknotes scattered on the ground, and immediately ordered Ye Tian and the others: "Ye Tian! Take a few men and search all these gamblers carefully, one by one."

"I need to arrange for someone to verify the identities of these people. I need to know which people are casino employees, which people are gamblers who come to this casino, and the identity information of these gamblers."

Upon hearing Li Aijun's instructions and looking at the gamblers who were clinging to him and squatting on the ground, Ye Tian revealed a meaningful smile and quickly assured Li Aijun, "Section Chief! Don't worry, we guarantee to complete the mission."

More than half an hour later, Ye Tian walked up to Li Aijun with a smug look on his face, carrying a bulging cloth bag. He happily reported to Li Aijun, "Section Chief! The entire search has been completed. A total of 18,431.25 yuan in gambling funds were found. In addition, 15 small yellow croakers and 2 large yellow croakers were also found. As for the identities of these gamblers, they are still being verified."

Another half hour passed, and Tie Jun strode up to Li Aijun, reporting respectfully, "Section Chief! The gamblers' identities have been verified. There are currently seventeen employees from our steel rolling mill, four from the machine repair shop, and eleven from the steelmaking plant!"

After reporting the information about the gamblers, Tie Jun leaned close to Li Aijun's ear and whispered, "Section Chief! According to the comrades in charge of the investigation, the boss behind the casino is hiding among these gamblers." Hearing Tie Jun's report and recalling the handling plan Jia Dongming had instructed, Li Aijun solemnly instructed Tie Jun, "Tie Jun! We can let the workers from our steel mill go home for now. Remember to tell them to bring twenty yuan to the security office tomorrow morning to pay the fine. As for the employees from other factories, just call their security departments and have them send someone to pick them up."

"As for the remaining gamblers, take them all back to our security office. After the street office opens tomorrow morning, call them directly and have them notify their families to bring 20 yuan to pay the fines."

Upon hearing Li Aijun's instructions, Tie Jun, thinking of the casino personnel, immediately asked Li Aijun, "Section Chief! What should we do with these casino personnel?"

Upon hearing Tie Jun's question, Li Aijun turned to Guo Jianguo and asked, "Old Guo! What do you think of these people from the casino? Should we hand them over to the police, or take them back to the station first?"

When Guo Jianguo heard Li Aijun ask about how to deal with the casino personnel, he pondered for a moment and then said to Li Aijun with a serious expression, "Old Li! Let's take them all back first, and then ask our director how to deal with them."

Upon hearing Guo Jianguo's suggestion, Li Aijun nodded in agreement and replied, "Okay! Lao Guo! Let's do it your way."

Just as Li Aijun and Guo Jianguo were leading a raid on the casino, Zhang Guoping arrived at the security department upon hearing the news.

Zhang Guoping walked to the door of Jia Dongming's office and saw Jia Dongming sitting at his desk reading a newspaper. He knocked on the door and greeted Jia Dongming with a smile, "Director! I'm here."

Hearing the knock on the door, Jia Dongming subconsciously looked up. When he saw Zhang Guoping walking into the office, he smiled and greeted him, "Guoping, you're here."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Zhang Guoping immediately sat down opposite Jia Dongming's desk and asked him expectantly, "Director! How long have Lao Li and Lao Guo been gone? I wonder if tonight's operation will go smoothly? How much gambling money will they be able to seize from this casino?"

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's words and seeing the greedy expression on his face, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! Comrade Jianjun has been planning tonight's operation for over a week. If their operation fails under these circumstances, then Jianjun should really find a block of tofu and smash his own head against it."

When Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's words, he thought about how their secret stash would be replenished if tonight's operation succeeded, and a look of anticipation immediately appeared on his face.
