now.
The middle-aged man made the decision on the spot.
In response to this.
No one else objected!
Immediately, everyone's gaze fell upon the wooden board directly in front of them, at the top of which were several large characters:
[Project Nail]
There are many titles below:
Longfei Group!
Dali Group!
Brilliant Group!
Yaowu Group!
......
However, the vast majority of these groups were crossed out in black, signifying that the group had been completely destroyed.
They were the "Nail Project" inspection team, the sharp blade tasked by higher authorities to eradicate organized crime in the three northern provinces.
Back then, they planted numerous spies among various criminal gangs in the three northern provinces to gather intelligence. Over the years, these gangs were gradually wiped out, and the entire plan continued to advance.
It was a very fruitful harvest!
Only four targets remain!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Everyone turned their attention to the remaining four targets:
Lin's Group!
Yaowu Group!
Heilong Group!
Tiger Power Group!
...…..
Above.
The head of the inspection team said, "After years of hard work, we have successfully eradicated a large number of criminal gangs in the three northern provinces, but we cannot be complacent. There are even more arduous tasks waiting for us."
Smack! Smack!
He was referring to the four names on the wooden board:
"There are still four objectives that haven't been fully resolved. Only when we resolve them all can our mission be considered successfully completed! Let's discuss: Who is our next important objective?"
These words were spoken.
Others began to discuss:
"I think we should put the Heilong Group aside for now. We haven't found any specific problems with this group yet. It hasn't been involved in any gray industries since it started, so its background is relatively clean and it's not easy to investigate!"
"The Tiger Power Group has been quite quiet lately: I feel that investigating this target would be a bit difficult, and it is currently fighting with the Black Dragon Group. In addition, it is an annex of the Lin Group. Although it is not small in size, there is no need to focus on it as the next major target."
"The Lin Group should have been the best breakthrough point: its headquarters was in chaos, beset by internal and external troubles! But that old man Lin is really clever. He discovered several of our spies, and even one of them was used to spread false information, causing us to fail at the last minute! Now the entire Lin Group is probably alerted, and any action we take in the short term will hardly have a significant effect. It is not advisable to activate the remaining spies in the short term, and he should not be the next target."
"This Yaowu Group has been quite arrogant lately, causing a huge uproar in the neighboring province. I also have some evidence to take them down step by step. I think this is a good idea..."
"The Lin Group isn't untouchable. The problem now is that if we can take down the Lin Group, we can also take down the Tiger Power Group. Then our mission will be much easier."
Everyone offered their opinions.
Heilong Group was basically the first to be ruled out.
After all, the Heilong Group has been too clean since its inception and has never engaged in any gray industry.
Apart from Feng Zhao, none of the spies they sent out gave any positive feedback.
That's right, they have more than just Feng Zhao as a mole in Heilong. How could they send only one person for such a large-scale mission? However, Feng Chao is the highest-ranking and most successful member of the Heilong Group. The reason they didn't suspect Feng Zhao is because none of the other moles planted in the Heilong Group have given any feedback that suggests he's guilty.
Instead, they talked about how Heilong Group had good benefits and treatment for its employees, and that all its business dealings were legal, compliant, and reasonable. It was practically the most upright group imaginable, so it was definitely not the best candidate for them to eliminate next.
So....
That leaves only:
Lin's Group!
Tiger Power Group!
Yaowu Group!
Three targets! Among them, Tiger Power Group was basically ruled out due to its small size and being completely crushed by Black Dragon Group.
even:
Someone said, "The Tiger Might Group is almost completely suppressed by the Black Dragon Group. I don't think it's necessary to include it in the Nail Plan; we can just let our subordinates handle it..."
(Wang Wei: No? Who are you looking down on? I was awesome back in the day, okay? You're saying I'm no good now... Fine! If I'm no good, I'm no good! Go ahead and slash me if you dare...)
Some countered, "The Tiger Might Group is already large enough to meet our initial goals. Plus, the spies inside have been hiding for so long. It wouldn't be good for them to cancel the mission level. Since we've already let them in, we can take advantage of the situation."
The others nodded in agreement.
The inspection leader said, "Now, the Heilong Group is being eliminated from the group, and we'll choose one of the remaining two groups."
immediately.
The group started discussing it again.
final.
Yaowu Group was selected.
The person in charge said, "Alright! Then let's go with Yaowu Group! You go and make contact with the people in the neighboring province. Next, we'll wipe out this Yaowu Group that's entrenched in the neighboring province and restore order to the region."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"..."
Everyone stood up, looking extremely solemn and respectful.
They believed that what they were doing was a great thing—eliminating evil and eradicating a cancer for the country.
...
After everyone left.
The inspection leader looked at the four names on the wooden board, and finally his gaze fell on the Black Dragon Group:
"Black Dragon..."
"Northern Province...Qinjiang River...Sinking into the River..."
"Are there really cats in this world that don't steal fish?"
"never mind..."
"There's still time! As long as he commits any crime, he won't escape the long arm of the law."
...
Northern Province.
A park.
Bai Weiguo is fishing.
later.
Bai Meng walked over and said, "Dad! What are you doing fishing here again? What's the point of fishing if you can't catch anything?"
Bai Weiguo: "Nonsense! I've brought back several these past few days. Your mother even praised how delicious they were. Everyone in the compound knows I'm a great angler..."
Bai Meng: "That's right, nobody in the whole compound knows the fish stalls at the market as well as you..."
Bai Weiguo:.......
"Have you gotten too cocky after handling a few successful cases lately? Have you lost your sense of self-worth after receiving some awards? Are you here to slack off during work hours?"
Bai Meng: "Dad! Don't criticize me just because you can't argue with me! But I have indeed handled these cases very well recently. Captain Wang has praised me many times, and I have been at the forefront and have not let you down."
"And I'm not here to slack off! I'm here on behalf of Captain Wang to request some case-handling funds. The department's finances are tight lately, Dad! Look at our department's good performance, could you approve a little more..."
Bai Weiguo's expression hardened:
"When can we let personal feelings interfere in our department? Or do you think I'm the kind of person who would let personal feelings interfere?"
