Chapter 68: A War Without Gunsmoke

  Huaxing Society has been established, No. 1 group is hotly earning... 68994530, everyone is working hard to support it! This week, we entered the premium recommendation list. If the collection and votes can meet my and Xiao Bian's satisfaction, this Saturday and Sunday will bring a super big explosion for everyone!!!

  Mayor Lin, after gaining the support of several officials who were close to the Lin family, publicly announced that Hua Xing Group was suspected of participating in organized crime under pressure. Before fully investigating the facts, all industries related to Hua Xing Group and relevant personnel would be put under surveillance. To increase persuasiveness, he also had someone fabricate some letters of complaint from citizens about Hua Xing Group and made them public.

  "Boss, I really didn't expect Mayor Lin to be so bold. What should we do now?" Guan Zhiyong asked Tang Feng after turning off the TV.

  Tang Feng originally thought that Mayor Lin would not be able to withstand the pressure and would temporarily ease up on suppressing Huaxing Society, but he didn't expect him to come up with such a move, now Huaxing Society is in a passive situation.

  He furrowed his brow and said, "For now, we can only wait and see how things develop. We'll respond to the situation as it arises."

  "Come on, what's there to be afraid of? The crimes he fabricated are all fake. I'll see how he gets out of it when the time comes." Xǔ Qiáng said disdainfully as he leaned back into the sofa.

  Tang Feng glanced at Xu Qiang and sighed, "It's obvious that Mayor Lin is anxious. He's looking for an excuse to take action against Huaxing Society. Even if we're a legitimate business, they can still find many problems with us. The government is best at making small things big. But it's not necessarily beneficial for him to go head-to-head with Huaxing Society now. Why is he doing this?" Tang Feng was puzzled in his heart. In this situation, a normal person would choose to calm things down and protect their position first before making plans. But Mayor Lin was acting contrary to this. What was the inside story?

  As soon as Tang Feng said this, several people stopped talking, and they felt the severity of the situation.

  Feifei looked down with a hint of self-blame, pouting her mouth and said: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for my sake, Huaxing Society wouldn't have had these troubles, and brothers wouldn't be so worried. I'm just a troublemaker." As she spoke, Feifei's tears fell like they were free.

  Tang Feng gently wrapped his arms around Fei Fei, helping her wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said: "Fei Fei, don't talk nonsense, how can this be blamed on you? Have you forgotten what brother said? We are family, doing anything for family is what we should do, besides it's not that serious yet."

  As soon as Tang Feng's voice fell, the phone rang. He looked at the number on it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He furrowed his brow and answered: "Hello?"

  "Hello, it's me." General Zhang's stern voice came from the other end of the phone.

  Tang Feng immediately stood up and stood straight: "It's you, what's the matter?" After finishing, Tang Feng made a gesture to Guan Zhiyong and others, then returned to the study on the second floor.

  "Recently you need to be careful, I have already prepared to take action against the Lin family here. I think the Lin family should also receive the news. In these few days, they may use any means to deal with you."

  "Oh? No wonder." After hearing General Zhang's words, Tang Feng finally understood why the Lin family was so eager to take drastic measures against Huaxing Society.

  "What's going on? There's already some movement from the Lin family?"

  "Yes, this morning Mayor Lin publicly announced that Huaxing Group is suspected of participating in underworld organized crime. All industries under the Huaxing banner have been sealed off and their bank accounts frozen." Tang Feng told General Zhang.

  General Zhang suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, the Lin family is indeed exhausted. They know they're on a dead-end road and want to take some scapegoats down with them in a desperate bid."

  Tang Feng let out a soft sigh and didn't say anything. He really didn't know what to say, if the Lin family was going to be so reckless, then he really didn't know how long Hua Xing Society could hold on.

  Tang Feng didn't say a word, and General Zhang also guessed Tang Feng's concern and said: "You just need to hold on for a few days, only a few days will do. As long as the investigation team arrives here and controls Lin's father and son, they won't be able to stir up any big waves. Alright, I'll go discuss with No. 1 to let the investigation team come over as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, General Zhang hung up the phone.

  Tang Feng let out a bitter laugh, insisting that it was really worth persisting. The Lin family had deep roots in the province, while Hua Xing Society had only been on this land for a few months. If the Lin family didn't care about the consequences, then Hua Xing Society would be lucky to last a day.

  Back in the living room, Tang Feng knew what Huaxing Society had to do now, or it would be too passive.

  "Guimian, you continue to arrange for people to spread rumors, directly naming and saying that Mayor Lin is dissatisfied with the Huaxing Group exposing his son's various crimes and is now colluding with party members to take revenge on the Huaxing Group." Tang Feng looked at Guimian with a serious face.

  After nodding to show understanding, Tang Feng looked at Guan Zhiyong and Old Ma and said: "Old Ma, you will go directly to the city government later. No matter what, you must see Mayor Lin and discuss some substantial issues with him, especially about Lin Fan's death. Only by thoroughly provoking him can we gain a lot. Ci Dao will protect you, and also prepare a pinhole camera and recorder. Any questions?"

  Several people were shocked and stared at Tang Feng. In their hearts, Tang Feng had always been a gentlemanly figure, but they never thought he would be so despicable!

  "With your right hand, inform Ba Wang and Meng Zi to control their brothers well. Apart from helping Guimian spread rumors, think of other ways to stir up the crowd, such as framing them for bribery. They frame us, we'll use their own methods against them."

  Everything was arranged, and Tang Feng stood up and said: "Alright, now let's start acting separately. I'll go to Old Man Sun's place to take a look. He has been in the northwest for so many years, he must have a lot of things about Lin's father and son." After finishing speaking, Tang Feng picked up his coat and prepared to leave.

  "Wait, boss, you all have something to do, what about me and Crazy?" Xu Qiang asked while pulling Tang Feng, and Crazy also looked at him with a hopeful face.

  "You two stay home and protect Feifei." Seeing Xu Qiang wanting to speak, Tang Feng said again: "Also, prepare lunch for us." Xu Qiang fainted on the ground.

  A few people took action separately, and the current situation is becoming increasingly clear. It's no longer a confrontation between the Huaxing Group and the government, but a confrontation between the Lin family and the Huaxing Group! Fortunately, Mayor Lin and Old Man Lin had done a good job on the surface, so most of the citizens still stood on their side, supporting them in striking down underworld figures. There was also a group of people who were either jealous or had grudges against the Lin family, or were very dissatisfied with Lin Fan, and they firmly stood on the side of the Huaxing Group. In their opinion, whether the Huaxing Group was an underworld organization or not didn't matter; at least it hadn't done anything to harm society. But as a parent official who indulged his children in bullying the common people, he should be punished! The last group were just onlookers who enjoyed the commotion. They supported one side today and another side tomorrow, treating this war without gunpowder as nothing more than a game.
