Holy crap..." Hou Mang didn't even have time to yell angrily, "Don't run... Anyone who dares to run will be punished even more severely!"
Unfortunately, Third Brother, Brother Yu, and the others didn't care about his cries. They even added another layer to his punishment. Given their situation, what difference would adding one or two layers to his punishment make?
So you'd just run away without a care in the world?
If you can run, you can live!
If you can't run, you're dead!
The run was utter chaos, hundreds of people were in complete disarray, the scene... wow...
This time:
Hou Mang was even more anxious! The Black Dragon Group had entrusted their people to him; if he couldn't keep an eye on them and let them escape, his crime would be truly grave, and he would likely be investigated and held accountable. But how was he supposed to capture dozens of them...?
Hou Mang: "Quick... grab the ringleaders first..." As he spoke, he charged towards the two leaders, Third Brother and Brother Yu.
Bang! Bang!
He kicked the two men to the ground with one foot each, and then took out handcuffs and handcuffed them to a nearby telephone pole.
At the same time, Bai Meng rushed towards several leaders, and the others also rushed to grab those who were obviously of high status first.
In a short time:
The scene was chaotic and disorganized!
Fortunately, Hou Mang had called for backup beforehand, and the nearby police arrived to help shortly after the criminals fled. With their help, and because the criminals' thumbs were tied behind their backs and they couldn't run fast, the vast majority of them were caught. Of course, a small number still escaped.
This moment:
Hou Mang's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. It was already difficult to explain that such a large-scale crime had occurred in his area without his knowledge, and that Hei Long had caught him first. At the very least, he would likely receive a severe reprimand.
But now the person has escaped from his grasp!
Although those who fled were all insignificant nobodys, he managed to capture all the leaders, but they still escaped from his grasp, so he inevitably had to take responsibility for this. A reprimand? That wouldn't solve anything; at the very least, they would all receive a disciplinary action!
call...
Bai Meng handed him a cigarette: "Regret it now, huh?"
Hou Mang took the cigarette but didn't say anything.
He knew, of course, that Bai Meng's regret was that he shouldn't have acted impulsively and questioned Qin Jiang, which angered him and drove him away. If Qin Jiang and his ilk had been there, these people wouldn't have run away.
Now it's all right...
The situation is even more complicated to explain! He can't even blame Qin Jiang. He was the one who said that the other party had no law enforcement authority to let people leave. He didn't handle the aftermath properly after the people left, so blaming the other party now would be just plain stupid. He may act domineeringly, but that doesn't mean he's unreasonable.
Do you regret it?
You'll definitely regret it!
But there's no going back!
Hou Mang: "I will apologize to my superiors for this! The important thing now is to deal with this case! The Nest Gate! They've always operated in the south, yet they've extended their reach to the north. This is very serious! We must investigate this matter thoroughly as soon as possible!"
Bai Meng: "I'll go with you on the investigation! After all, this matter also involves the Black Dragon Group in our Northern Province!"
Hou Mang opened his mouth but said nothing.
immediately.
They escorted a large number of arrested people away.
...
On the bus!
Bai Meng muttered to himself, "I never expected that just coming here to join in the fun would lead to such a big case."
He hadn't originally planned to come, but because of the big commotion in Qinjiang, the northern province was afraid something might happen, so they sent him.
The Qinjiang River is extremely important to the northern province!
But Bai Meng never expected that such a simple pyramid scheme organization would suddenly become a fraud organization, and that wasn't all; it also involved the "Nest Gate"! That was the Nest Gate! Being named by higher-ups as a large-scale fraud organization, the small case became a big case.
Bai Meng: "This matter was mainly led by this place. I was just assisting! I didn't make any great contributions, but overall, it wasn't a wasted trip!" No one else heard him say this. The case of arresting hundreds of people in a fraud organization was also involved in a major case called "Nest Gate". Even if he was not the leader but just participated, he still deserved credit for the assistance of the Black Dragon Group of the North Province. Such a major case was enough to promote ordinary public security by one level and make his resume shine, but it was nothing to Bai Meng.
"Tsk tsk..."
Bai Meng said, "I should say it, but Qin Jiang is good to me!"
Hou Mang couldn't help but sneer, "What are you laughing at? Are you mocking me? Are you being sarcastic...?"
Bai Meng: "No...no, I just wanted to laugh..."
Hou Mang:......
......
now.
After both groups left.
Many onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"Good heavens! What did I just see? Who is that young man in the cloak? He's so domineering!"
"The people living in this three-story building have very powerful connections in the area. I wonder how they offended this young man and got crippled overnight..."
"Didn't you see those men in black barge in? They've run into some tough guys. I saw many people being carried out on stretchers... all bloody and mangled. (These people were tortured in the pleasure room, not beaten by Black Dragon.)"
They couldn't help but whisper and speculate about the young man's identity. Some of them had some connection to society, so the vague guesses about Qin Jiang and the others' identities spread quickly.
Then it spread in various ways! Especially after learning that Brother Yu was sentenced to prison, he was executed and became a legend once again.
Let the legend of Qinjiang spread to neighboring provinces as well:
What happened? Someone provoked Qin Jiang, and Qin Jiang and his men stormed into their doorstep, beating a big shot from Anshi and his hundreds of henchmen half to death...
Even the police couldn't stop them... In the end, many people were mangled beyond recognition, and those who offended Qin Jiang were taken away and executed by the police...
Qin Jiang declared: From now on, not only in the northern province, but in neighboring provinces, anyone who dares to disobey Heilong will be annihilated...
.....
Qin Jiang was naturally unaware and didn't care; he was now so accustomed to being bitten by lice that he was no longer afraid of being bitten.
Some things spread even more the more you try to stop them from spreading...
.....
Black Dragon Racing Team!
Zhu Zheng: "I reckon all sorts of legends about Brother Jiang will soon emerge here..."
Zhang Chi: "Absolutely! Brother Jiang's fame will spread throughout this land... haha..."
Qin Jiang: "Having too much fame isn't always a good thing; it can attract the attention of certain people..."
Zhu Zheng nodded.
They are no longer the same young people who used to casually call themselves gangsters. Having too much fame is not a good thing. It's fine when they are at the height of their power, but they can suffer when they go downhill or when they are targeted by certain people.
Zhu Zheng: "How about I have these legends banned..."
Qin Jiang: "Is it banned?"
Zhu Zheng: "...."
Rumors are impossible to stop? In any case, the more you try to stop them, the more people will spread them.
Qin Jiang: "Since we can't stop it, we'll fuel the rumors. Rumors? Exaggerating or even going slightly outrageous will only make people believe them more. They're more willing to believe what they already believe. To stop rumors, they have to be extremely outrageous, so outrageous that normal people can't believe them anymore. At that point, no one will believe the rumors anymore, whether they're true or false..."
This is called: stopping rumors with rumors!
