I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 196 Sweeping Through the Park: Yang Chen Demonstrates the Power of Smart Products to the World
After his parents passed away, he lived with his maternal grandparents. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for that place at all.

Moreover, almost everyone in that village shared the same surname, and if you traced their ancestry back several generations, they would all have the same ancestor. Yang Chen could understand his grandfather's predicament very well. People kept calling him "uncle" and "father," and it would be difficult not to help.

The fraud gangs in the cotton and linen country are too arrogant. They not only lure people there, but also kidnap them and force them to commit fraud. They even kill people and sell their organs. Their behavior is truly heinous.

Yang Chen could use them to conduct a large-scale test of the smart product, showcasing its practical effectiveness to customers worldwide, and he was sure that even more orders would come his way.

Yang Chen's grandfather sent him the other party's phone number, which Yang Chen then forwarded to Guo Hu.

"Ah Hu, this is the phone number of a fraud gang from the cotton and linen country. Contact them and release Li Xiang, Li Liang, Li Le, and Li Yue. If they don't obey, send some mosquitoes and flies to them to experience. Drones can also be used; use them for a live-fire exercise to show customers around the world how effective it is."

Guo Hu replied to the message immediately.

"Received! Will be handled immediately! I will keep you informed as soon as there is any progress!"

At 10 a.m., Yang Chen was playing games with Chen Xi in his office when Guo Hu came to report on the progress.

Chen Xi got up and went back to his office, and Guo Hu immediately reported the situation in the Cotton and Linen Country to Yang Chen.

“Chairman Yang, I’ve communicated with them five times, but they refuse to release the people. They even said they’re not afraid of us, or even the authorities. They threatened me, saying that if I continue to harass them, they’ll dismantle and sell those four people.”

Yang Chen nodded and asked, "Do we have anyone on our side?"

Guo Hu nodded and replied, "Yes! But not many, only 5 people, and they are scattered in several different cities in countries such as Cotton and Linen Country and Thailand."

"Immediately notify them to move closer to the park. We're forming a special operations team to deliver a shipment to Baoli Group for loading and modification. If they don't know what's good for them, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Raze their park to the ground. Only target the management personnel and mercenaries; try not to hurt anyone else," Yang Chen instructed.

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"

People from the Dragon Kingdom always believe in having a legitimate reason for their actions. In order to avoid giving the Cotton and Linen Kingdom anything to say, Yang Chen still needs to lay the groundwork.

Just then, my grandfather called again.

"Xiao Chen, something terrible has happened! They called and said if you harass them again, they'll tear the four children apart and sell them, and now the ransom has been raised to 50 yuan per child. What are we going to do?" Grandpa said anxiously. He could also hear crying on the other end of the phone; it must have been the families of the four boys crying.

Yang Chen instructed, "Grandpa, tell their families to post on Douyin (TikTok) begging for help from all sides. I'll promote their videos and try to make this a big deal. Then I'll publicly announce that I'll take responsibility for the rescue. I'll be particularly ruthless this time; we need to create public opinion so that the people in the cotton and linen country won't have anything to say. We need a legitimate reason, you know what that means?"

Grandpa quickly replied, "I know, I know. We Chinese have always valued having a legitimate reason for our actions. I understand what you mean. I'll have them do as you say now."

Soon, the child's parents posted a video on Douyin (TikTok) as Yang Chen requested, pleading with people from all walks of life to help save their child. The villagers of Lijia Village also shared the video to raise awareness.

Yang Chen ordered the Douyin operations department to "heat up" these videos, which quickly propelled them to the top of the trending topics list.

At this moment, Yang Chen posted a video.

“Li Le, Li Yue, Li Xiang, and Li Liang are villagers from my maternal grandfather’s village. When I was in school at my grandfather’s house, they used to play with me. I’m warning the owner of QQ Park here: if any of the four of them are not allowed to return to China within a day, or if they suffer any damage, I will raze your park to the ground.”

Soon, netizens flocked to leave messages of encouragement.

"Go, Mr. Yang! Smash their industrial park and let them know that the Chinese are not to be trifled with!"

"Several of my classmates were also scammed and their whereabouts are still unknown. I hope Mr. Yang can rescue them as well."

"These bastards are despicable, hiding in the cotton and linen country to cause trouble. Although I am very worried about the safety of those four young men, I hope they will not release them, so that Boss Yang will have a good reason to raze the QQ Park to the ground."

……

These fraudulent industrial parks are all located in China, and many of the owners and executives are Chinese. There are too many things to coordinate, making cross-border crackdowns quite difficult.

but.

If Yang Chen can take down the Yamaguchi-gumi, he can certainly take down the QQ Park as well.

All parties tacitly remained silent, allowing Yang Chen to teach them a lesson and make an example of them, using the destruction of the QQ Park as a deterrent to other parks to release their people voluntarily.

Relevant departments sent people there in advance to wait, and once the QQ park was destroyed, they immediately contacted the local government to take over the Chinese people in the park.

Yang Chen's video was quickly circulated to various parks. Bai Junqi, the owner of QQ Park, immediately summoned his family members, park executives, shareholders, and Kunchai, the mercenary leader in charge of park security.

"Everyone has watched the video. Please share your opinions," Bai Junqi said with a serious expression.

The mercenary leader, Khun Chai, immediately said with a disdainful look, "This is the Land of Cotton and Linen, not the Land of Dragons. His influence doesn't extend here. What are we afraid of? My idea is to use those four people's phones to send videos to their families, chop off their hands in front of their families, and give them a warning."

Bai Junqi's daughter, Bai Yuanyuan, who also got the name of the QQ Park, immediately objected: "No way! There's a huge uproar on the Chinese internet right now. If we do what you say, it'll just give them an excuse to attack us. I think we should release them. It's best if we don't provoke Yang Chen. He dares to mess with the Yamaguchi-gumi, let alone us?"

Kunchai immediately retorted angrily, "Miss Bai, you're wrong. What is the Yamaguchi-gumi? They're just gangsters. Can they compare to my mercenary organization? Yang Chen is just putting on a show to scare you. If you release them, you'll fall into their trap. And once this door is opened, the families of the other people who were tricked or kidnapped will also beg Yang Chen for help. If Yang Chen releases another video like this, will you release them or not? If you release them, the park can disband; it won't be able to continue operating. If you don't release them, Yang Chen will deal with you the same way he always has, so releasing those four people this time would be meaningless, wouldn't it?"

This statement seems to make perfect sense. As long as their park wants to continue operating, they cannot release people. Once this door is opened, they will have to keep releasing people, otherwise the door will be meaningless.

Other senior executives and shareholders also agreed not to release him and to give Yang Chen a hard time.

Kun Chai immediately sent his men to arrest the four men and used their phones to make video calls to their families.

Bai Yuanyuan said into the phone camera, "Why don't you listen to us? If you had just paid the ransom, we would have been happy. You've made such a big fuss, and we're really angry. As punishment, I've taken one of your son's fingers today. If you don't pay the money soon, next time they might lose more than just a finger. It could be an arm, a leg, or even a head."

The family members immediately cried out and begged for mercy, but the people in the park were inhuman. They didn't care about the feelings of the family members and actually cut off one finger from each of the four young men in front of the camera.

The four young men were screaming in pain, crying and begging their parents to raise money to save them.

But 50 per person, that's 100 million for two people. It's simply impossible for rural people to raise that much money. They couldn't raise that much money even if they sold everything they owned.

The video call ended, and the family members hugged each other and cried.

They immediately ran to Yang Chen's maternal grandfather's house for help, hoping he could help them borrow money from Yang Chen to ransom their people.

Grandpa immediately reassured them, "Don't get agitated. Xiao Chen and the relevant departments have already taken action and will definitely bring the children back. You need to understand one thing: even if you give them money, they won't release them. As long as you don't give them money, the children are not in immediate danger. Once you give them money, the children will lose their value, and they will definitely dismember them and sell them. I understand how you feel, but you need to stay calm, especially at times like this. Have some faith in Xiao Chen and the relevant departments; they will definitely bring the children back."

Grandpa quickly reported the situation to Yang Chen, who then asked them to record the video call and post it on Douyin to further boost its popularity.

However, the families dared not do so, fearing that the park authorities would retaliate against their children if they saw it.

Yang Chen understood their concerns and didn't press them. He decided to wait until the children were confirmed to have been rescued before sending the information. Five days later, Sihai Security assembled a 10-person team with equipment and headed to the cotton and linen country. With the help of relevant departments, they successfully approached the QQ park and met with the five brothers in charge of Southeast Asia.

After 10 p.m. that night, the special operations team launched an attack on the QQ park.

Yang Chen didn't sleep; he and Liu Mei watched the battle remotely from the security company's control room.

Thousands of mosquitoes and flies flew into the park in batches, while drones carrying bombs surrounded the park at the same time.

At this time, apart from a few staff members on duty, everyone else in the park was sleeping.

A mosquito is paired with a fly. The fly carries a pinhole camera to scout ahead and transmit images back. The operator uses these images to determine who each mosquito and fly should attack.

It took about 4 hours to lock down all the mercenaries in the park, including the boss and executives, including Bai Junqi.

Sihai Security Control Room.

Guo Hu reported, "Chairman Yang, all the mercenaries, thugs, bosses, shareholders, and executives in the park have been located. However, Bai Yuanyuan isn't in the park. Should we wait for her to return before taking action?"

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "No need! If we really want to touch her, we have plenty of opportunities. Notify them that we can act at any time, and we won't allow a single mercenary, thug, or executive to escape. If even one escapes, I'll hold them accountable!"

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Understood!"

Guo Hu immediately issued orders to the special operations team.

"Chairman Yang has ordered that we can attack at any time! Not a single mercenary, thug, or executive inside is allowed to escape. If even one escapes, you will be punished when you return!"

At 3:30 a.m., explosions, cries, and calls for help echoed throughout the QQ park.

Upon learning that the QQ Park had been attacked, Kunchai quickly led his troops to provide reinforcements.

They thought someone was attacking the park, but little did they know that it was mosquitoes and flies that were attacking. When they arrived at the park, the drones, flies, and mosquitoes that had been waiting for them immediately launched an attack.

Before Kunchai could even figure out what was happening, the nearly one hundred people he brought were blown to pieces and scattered in all directions. He himself crawled into the car, but a drone immediately dropped a grenade that overturned the car, leaving him seriously injured and unconscious.

Bai Yuanyuan also received news of the attack on the park, which frightened her so much that she quickly fled with her family. She knew that if she stayed, she would either be killed in the bombing or be caught and brought back to China for trial, so she could only hide and find an opportunity to escape to the Bald Eagle's home.

With the special operations team's mission accomplished, relevant departments in the Dragon Kingdom immediately intervened to take over the aftermath.

Yang Chen was very satisfied with the operation and praised, "Ah Hu, you did a great job. The people you found are all talented. Tell them that as long as they are obedient and do their jobs well, I won't treat them unfairly. Each person who participated in this operation will be rewarded with 10 yuan. Also, organize the details of tonight's operation and post them on Sihai Intelligence's Douyin and other platform accounts tomorrow. We can't let this go to waste; we still need to get the recognition and benefits we deserve."

Guo Hu quickly replied, "Understood! Thank you, Chairman Yang. I will get it sorted out as soon as possible. You can go back and rest; you don't need to worry about this."

Yang Chen nodded and took Liu Mei home to sleep.

The next morning, Yang Chen was still sleeping with his girlfriend when his grandfather called.

"Haha... Xiao Chen, Li Le and the other three just called home to let us know they're safe. They've been rescued by the police and will be returning home on a special plane soon. That's great! My grandson is awesome! Haha..." Grandpa said happily.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "It's good that they're safe now. They shouldn't believe in high-paying jobs abroad anymore. Southeast Asian countries are not as good as our country in the 1980s, how could they possibly have high-paying jobs? Also, have their two families post the video call recording of the four of them having their fingers cut off on Douyin."

Grandpa quickly said, "Okay, I'll have them send it right away. After this, not only those four, but the whole village will never believe that you can make big money abroad again. That's all, I'll hang up now."

Yang Chen smiled and hummed in agreement, then put down his phone and went back to sleep.

Once the child was confirmed to be safe, the two families had no more concerns and immediately posted the screen recording of Bai Yuanyuan cutting off the child's finger on Douyin.

Yang Chen had spoken to the Douyin operations team, and these videos immediately gained popularity and trended on the hot search list as soon as they were posted.

Netizens who have been following this story are outraged after seeing it.

"These people are too arrogant and lawless!"

"A bunch of beasts, Boss Yang, hurry up and destroy them."

"Is there really nothing we can do about them? I'm so angry."

……

The videos released by the two families were so impactful that they immediately pushed the issue to its peak, leaving netizens seething with anger.

The video quickly spread to foreign websites, and a group of foreigners who are always hostile to China were overjoyed, especially netizens from Japan and South Korea.

Japanese netizen Inoue Mai: Isn't Yang Chen supposed to be very powerful? Why didn't he go and save his compatriots? Oh, he's too scared to deal with mercenaries. He only dares to bully gangs like the Yamaguchi-gumi. He chickens out when he encounters a ruthless person with weapons. Heh... he's just a coward.

A South Korean netizen, Kim Jae-seok, wrote: "As the only developed country in Asia, those fraud gangs would never dare to touch us. If they did, our powerful military would simply march in and wipe out South Korea. Don't forget, our KF-21 fifth-generation fighter jet is superior to the F-35; no one dares to mess with us. Yang Chen only dares to bully the Yamaguchi-gumi; would he dare touch our South Korean Seven Stars Gang? I think the victims' families can seek our help and pay us to rescue their children."

Netizen "Hoyce" from the White-headed Eagle forum: This is hilarious! Yang Chen even posted a video demanding the release of the children, but they not only ignored him but also livestreamed themselves cutting off the four children's fingers. Seriously, I suggest the families sue Yang Chen and make him responsible for the children's injuries. Haha… I've never met such a pretentious person as Yang Chen. Does he think that mercenaries with the "truth" in their hands would be afraid of a mere private business owner like him? It's ridiculous.

A netizen from India, Amy Han, commented: "This really deserves praise for our powerful military. As the number one military power in Asia and the third strongest in the world, no one dares to touch India, otherwise they'd face a barrage of fire from the Tejas fighter jets. You know, the Tejas is the most powerful fifth-generation fighter jet; currently, no country in the world can defend against it. We could wipe out a small country like India in a matter of minutes. I suggest the family offer us 100 million U.S. dollars, and we can help rescue them. As for Yang Chen? You don't really think a struggling private business owner is more powerful than a mercenary organization, do you? He's just trying to ride the wave of attention. Once they get serious, he won't dare say a word."

……

Just as netizens around the world were discussing it heatedly, Sihai Intelligence released a video of the raid on the QQ park last night.

Douyin, Weibo, and Hongshu, three major platforms, simultaneously boosted the popularity of these videos, and soon they were seen all over the internet.

"My goodness, is this a movie clip? It looks so unreal."

"Is this real or fake? Mosquitoes, flies, drones, and no one even showed up, yet they just wiped out the QQ park like that?"

"Even Hollywood sci-fi movies wouldn't dare to film something like this, right? Mr. Yang is using QQ Park as an experiment to show the world how powerful their smart products are."

"Now I finally understand how the Yamaguchi-gumi lost hundreds of men. I just want to ask, how did they defend against this? These mosquitoes and flies are so realistic, who would have thought they were extremely dangerous explosives?"

"Boss Yang is awesome. From now on, you are my only idol. You are so damn awesome. You said you would flatten the QQ Park and you really did flatten the QQ Park."
