Chapter 745: Chapter 743: Reforging the Gang’s Glory_1
That afternoon, Song Lan finally breathed the air of Sector Seventeen after a long absence.
It invigorated him, uplifting his spirits immensely. Just before the plane landed, he had already issued the highest strategic command to his home’s artificial intelligence cinema system—download all the movies produced by Kolo Film Industry in the past month. That way, once he got home and lay in bed, he could start watching them immediately.
Lu Xiang did not go home with him.
14:30, it was still early, she needed to return to the Law Enforcers department to address the public affairs that had accumulated during her absence.
When the Law Enforcers of Sector Seventeen saw Lu Xiang’s return, everyone, including Captain Doug, had tears brimming in their eyes.
"Supervisor!"
Those weighty two characters encapsulated all the emotions of the uneloquent Law Enforcers.
Massive destruction occurred before the supervisor’s business trip to The Second Region; even the majestic castle of the Iris Consortium had been leveled to the ground. Subsequently, an unprecedented coup took place in The First Region, and at some point, rumors of Lu Xiang’s death began circulating in Sector Seventeen.
This news spread like wildfire through the underworld, and the once-quiet criminals began to stir once more.
But they knew, how could their wise and valiant supervisor die so easily?
"Doug, what’s the news in Sector Seventeen recently?"
Immediately after returning to the department, Lu Xiang entered work mode.
"Actually, there is some, you’ve come back just in time, Supervisor. Based on reliable intelligence we’ve received, a newly formed gang is having a high-level meeting today. They are a new force made up of remnants from several major underground factions in Sector Seventeen. I was planning on leading a raid on their meeting today, and the boys from the first and third squads are all geared up and ready to go."
"A new gang?"
Lu Xiang furrowed her brows, "Fall in, wait for me at the door, I’m heading there as well."
She hadn’t expected that, in the short time she was away, there were already signs of a resurgence among the gangs of Sector Seventeen.
Before they had set off for The Second Region, the gang members in this city were as docile as kittens, with most of them even planning to work at electronics factories.
"Roger that!"
.........
Meanwhile, somewhere in Sector Seventeen.
"I say, isn’t the place you’ve chosen a bit too ostentatious?"
Before the momentous beginning of the meeting, some raised concerns about the venue.
Pink Lady was one of the pleasure venues formerly operated by "Rat." After "Rat" becoming a bigshot with millions on his head and fleeing Sector Seventeen, his subordinates took over the place.
But, they hadn’t dared to hold meetings in such an opulent location for several months.
The gang members of Sector Seventeen had been through a tough time. Under the suppression of the Law Enforcers, they had to hide in dark corners, and even for high-level meetings, they could only use abandoned basements. The sound of a car passing overhead was enough to send shivers through everyone in attendance.
The iron-handed approach of Lu Xiang left an indelible psychological Shadow on them.
Fortunately, things were finally taking a turn for the better.
It was said that the ruthless Lu Xiang had died in The Second Region.
As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. After a long period of repression, there was an eruption in the silence.
Their era had finally arrived!
Every person present was here for the same purpose—they wanted to restore the glory of the gang members and turn Sector Seventeen back to how it was a few months ago, where you could be caught in a gang firefight just by walking down the street. That was how a border city was supposed to be!
Now, this half a month of barely hearing gunshots and even counting drunken brawls as security incidents, wasn’t a proper life at all.
Do you think this is a core city?
That was the sentiment of all the gang members. Whoever could revert the city back to its original state would succeed Chai Ke and "Rat" as the new ruler of Sector Seventeen’s underworld.
The gang members were eager, but before that, they needed to confirm the most critical piece of information.
"Are you sure the source of the news is reliable? That person is really dead, right?"
Upon hearing this, the meeting hall fell into dead silence.
For a long time, Lu Xiang, like a shadow, loomed over everyone’s heart. These criminals, who once held the law in contempt, even lacked the courage to speak his name directly. In later conversations, they often referred to Lu Xiang as "that person" or "you know who."
Gang members looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.
They had all heard this inspiring news from others and had chosen to believe it immediately.
The problem was that as the news had spread, no one knew anymore who the original source was.
It was said to be first-hand information provided by a distant relative of a gang member in the Second Region.
"The source of the news is very reliable," someone finally said confidently, giving everyone the assurance they needed.
The current owner of Gold Diggers’ Bar, once the third-in-command of the "Rat" faction.
The reason the third-in-command had inherited the Gold Diggers’ Bar was that the second-in-command had been arrested and imprisoned during the city-wide meeting, for participating in the uprising with the "Rat," and was now locked up in a distant prison, not to be released. By his sentence, it would be at least a decade or more before they saw him again.
"’That person’ is dead, and as for who provided the news, stop asking about it," he said.
This statement gave everyone present a dose of reassurance.
So, according to the original plan, it was time to discuss how to take back the city that rightly belonged to them from the Law Enforcers.
The evil Lu Xiang was dead, and now the only ones standing in their way were Doug and the Special Operations Team.
If they could just deal with them...
That thought was cut short by the sudden sound of armored vehicles landing outside the window.
A panicked waiter burst into the meeting room, stuttering, "It’s the Special Operations Team, the Law Enforcers have come!"
"So they’ve come, what’s there to panic about?" one gang member retorted.
"’That person’ isn’t dead at all, we saw her right now on the hovercar!"
In an instant, the gang members lost all their bravado, and some even reflexively dove into the nearest cabinet to hide.
It was over.
Completely over.
Despair enveloped every gang member.
However, at this moment, the third-in-command of the "Rat" faction stepped forward and sneered, "What’s there to fear? Everyone here is the elite of the elite; what is ’that person’ to be scared of?"
He looked at the panicked waiter and commanded coldly, "Go, bring up the gear we prepared."
Five minutes later, the Special Operations Team took control of all the passages of Gold Diggers’ Bar to ensure no criminal could escape.
Lu Xiang and Captain Doug walked side by side down the corridor leading to the meeting room.
The corridor was eerily quiet, like the calm before a storm.
Captain Doug gestured to the first team members, and at his command, they burst through the room’s doors with lightning speed.
As reported by Gold Seeker’s Bar, the remnants of nearly all the Seventeen Regions’ gang members had gathered in this meeting room. However, the scene inside differed slightly from what Doug had anticipated.
None of the gang members were holding weapons, ready for a fight to the death; instead, each sat quietly in their place.
The meeting was chaired by the former third-in-command of the "Rat" faction.
He was now in front of the projector.
The meeting room’s projector was displaying the content of the meeting.
—— "Cultivating Civility and Setting New Trends: Several Views on Building a Better Seventeen Region."
