Chapter 425: Guang Ming Storm (Request for Subscription)_2
Lin Rui previously had no Source Essence, so he had to have a Golden Core implanted, whereas Lin Xi's problem now is that she has too many X-level elements in her body.
This matter has shaken the internet in recent days. Although Lin Xi has not officially debuted, she is, after all, Lin Rui's sister and has a certain following, coupled with her outstanding performance among her peers, she has already gained a certain popularity online.
Many people were shocked when Lin Xi had a Golden Core implanted at the age of seventeen.
However, currently, most martial critics are pessimistic, thinking there might be future troubles.
People from Sky Extreme Star can only cultivate after their fontanelle closes, and humans also have to wait until they are 18—there is a reason for this.
Cultivating too early can hinder the proper development of the Primordial Spirit and the body, leading to the risk of developing Armament Syndrome; it also increases susceptibility to Abyss Pollution.
There are many such examples in the Federation's history, and the outcomes were not pleasant.
These people are unaware that Lin Xi has long been a vessel for the Abyss and thus have no interest in these matters.
Lin Rui then received a message from Zhang Long.
Zhang Long: "Boss! Everything has been arranged and the action plan has been made. Take a look first, this is the plan Xue Lingxue and I devised, and here are the corresponding intelligence data."
Zhang Long: "Boss, if you see no issues, we can set a time to act."
After reading, Lin Rui was initially invigorated and immediately started reviewing the documents Zhang Long sent.
However, after reading them, he frowned.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Is this all?"
Zhang Long was speechless. This operation was extremely massive, involving 14 gangs, 464 illegal venues, 25 drug hiding and processing dens, 42 smuggling warehouses, and 54,323 gang members.
Zhang Long: "Boss, we have over 80% confidence in convicting them with these, and this is just our first action. Let's first arrest these gang members and see if we can dig deeper."
This couldn't be like the Children's Song Killer, chopping whoever we wanted.
Without sufficient evidence, capturing these people would accomplish nothing.
Moreover, they needed to apply for arrest and search warrants before the action.
Although they had the assistance of the mayor of Ninth Base City, who was well-established both in the court and the Procuratorate, the judges and prosecutors wouldn't dare to issue unwarranted warrants haphazardly.
Lin Rui, with his chin in hand, thought this wouldn't do! The operation's scale was huge, but it wouldn't have the effect of remedying public security.
This was just like giving the gangs a light scrape, taking off just a layer of their outer skin.
It also wouldn't shake the public or stir societal hot debate and satisfy Huo Anguo.
And since damaging ten fingers isn't as effective as severing one, his plan was to completely take down two or three major gangs first, destroying their political and business connections, effectively reducing the gang's influence on society and business—
Even if new gangs developed later due to Ninth Base City's special conditions, they would lack political connections, making it easier for the government to control and eliminate them.
Not like now, where it had become an inoperable tumor integrally linked with the Base City government.
Lin Rui opened the files and squinted his eyes.
He was interested in one particular person, the leader of the Loyality Gang, 'Black Tiger' Li Zhaokang,—the key was this person, who had taken over a massive property lease from Jinhao Real Estate Group in the past month, greatly revitalizing Jinhao Real Estate Group.
Lin Rui thought this was unacceptable. He spontaneously sent this person's file to Zhang Long.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Include Li Zhaokang's residence. I have informants saying it might contain a large quantity of drugs. They might have a large crew, the data shows over 1200 individuals. We may need to deploy an additional battalion from the Armed Police Force for a strong assault, and I will personally oversee the operation."
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Also! The code name for this anti-gang operation will be 'Light of Righteousness,' we need to purge all darkness with the wind of righteousness!"
Zhang Long glanced at the files Lin Rui provided.
Although Li Zhaokang is the head of the Loyality Gang, his residence is located in the scenic Area D of the Upper District.
It's a large mansion covering 38,000 square meters, with a 300-person security team and 800 elite members of the Loyality Gang stationed to protect Li Zhaokang and his family.
Zhang Long: "Boss, I don't have enough evidence against him, and besides, Li Zhaokang is also the vice-chairman of the District Council in Ninth Base City Area D."
Regarding Lin Rui's mention of drugs, how could a vice chairman of a district council be foolish enough to hide drugs at his residence?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Ever heard of darkness under the lamplight? These gang members excel in exploiting your kind of thinking, don't worry! I'll take responsibility this time. What you need to do is get the investigation warrant and gather enough elite forces and combat robots."
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "I have a feeling that Li Zhaokang and his men will resist fiercely. You and Lingxue must be fully prepared for battle, also remind our men to be vigilant before the action and to bring all their protective equipment."
Zhang Long was slightly stunned after seeing Lin Rui's response.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered an operation against the Loyality Gang shortly after he was transferred; it was targeting one of Jin San's branches.
The branch had resisted inexplicably, leading to almost its entire annihilation.
Zhang Long's scalp tingled, thinking that his superior was possibly taking an unconventional approach again.
Lin Rui then added Fei Yunlai and Wang Tianwu to a combat group.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Old Fei, Old Wang, later you go to Warehouse No. 3, pull 10 tons of drugs and deliver them to this mansion. Make sure you remain covert throughout the operation, I will have Lin Guangming and Xiaoxi assist you."
In their previous operations, they had seized nearly about 80 tons of drugs.
Previously, they destroyed them, but later, considering that some of the drugs were derived from the Spiritual Medicine of Sky Extreme Star, it seemed a waste to destroy them.
Some could be slightly refined and used as materials for other medicines, so they decided to preserve some.
Little did they know they'd use them this time.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): "OK, I've looked at the intelligence, no problem as long as we are adequately covered, but the stuff is a bit much."
As an illusionist, Wang Tianwu would definitely not go in. This ten-ton load would have to be handled by him alone.
Powerful Horse King (Wang Tianwu): "Getting it in should be no problem. Li Zhaokang has two Seventh Realm masters with him, but they won't be too much for us. Boss, where are we hiding this 10-ton load?"
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "This 38,000 square meter place—where can't you hide it? Figure it out yourselves."
Wang Tianwu read Lin Rui's message and thought that this was absolutely a frame-up; his boss was a cop as dark as they come.
The Earth Federation even let this guy serve as an 'Admiral' of the Security Bureau, additionally overseeing the Special Service Center and 'National Security Bureau Special Operations Center' of such powerful law enforcement agencies—truly blind!
