Chapter 98: The Troublesome Role

  "Now that you've found out the problem lies with Ding Yushu, can't you just go and have a good talk with him?" Lin San's meaning was simple: give Ding Yushu some benefits, and he wouldn't target Feiying Gang anymore.

  Long Xiao Tian smiled bitterly and said: "I have already taken the initiative to ask Ding Yu Shu three times, but was rejected every time."

  "Oh, so this Ding Yushu's frame is quite large after all." Lin San was somewhat surprised.

  Long Xiao Tian and Long Xiao Ming had a belly full of fire, if not for considering Ding Yu Shu's director identity, the two brothers would have sent someone to get rid of Ding Yu Shu long ago.

  "Can you get a handle on Ding Yushu?" Lin San thought of playing another trick of intimidation and temptation, as long as he could get a handle on Ding Yushu, he was not afraid that Ding Yushu would not surrender.

  Long Xiao Tian **corner of his mouth twitched without saying a word.

  Long Xiaoming's expression was also somewhat complicated.

  "What's wrong?" Lin San curiously glanced at Long Xiao Tian and Long Xiao Ming.

  Long Xiaoming sighed: "I've already sent someone to investigate, and this Ding Yushu is a very clean official. He never accepts gifts, his wife and relatives are all well-behaved, and his lifestyle is quite strict. Every day, except for going to work, he just goes home. He never goes to bars or anything like that. Even when eating, he chooses those small roadside eateries, and pays for the meals himself, never using public funds."

  Lin San was taken aback, he didn't expect that Ding Yushu would be such a clean and honest official.

  Long Xiao Tian and Long Xiao Ming also had a certain degree of admiration for Ding Yu Shu's character, if it weren't for their different paths they would have definitely become friends with Ding Yu Shu and shared a few drinks.

  Lin San lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before asking, "Do you know where Ding Yushu's home is?"

  "It should be able to find out." Long Xiao Tian replied.

  "Go and investigate now, after you find out, take the gifts to visit Ding Yushu directly, no matter what conditions he comes up with, just agree." Lin San said slowly, exhaling a mouthful of smoke.

  "Is this suitable......" Long Xiao Tian and Long Xiao Ming were somewhat hesitant.

  "Everyone has shortcomings, the key is how you dig them up." Lin San smiled slightly.

  Long Xiao and Long Xiaoming nodded thoughtfully: "We know what to do now."

  Ding Yushu has been in a good mood these days. Just after taking office in Lanzhou City for a few days, he cracked down on the Flying Eagle Gang, the largest local underworld force, and was highly praised by his superiors.

  Ding Yushu was just over forty years old, in the prime of his life. Ding Yushu had never been fond of wealth or women, but he had a strong passion for official positions. Every day, apart from handling cases, he would secretly think about how to climb to an even higher position.

  "Old Ding, the bath water is ready, hurry up and come take a bath!" his wife Cai Yufen shouted from the bathroom.

  "Ah, I'm coming." Ding Yushu threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stood up from the sofa to head to the bathroom.

  Cai Yufen is 38 years old this year. Due to her good daily maintenance, her skin is tender and smooth, and there are almost no wrinkles on her face. At first glance, she looks like a woman in her early 30s. Cai Yufen was a famous beauty when she was young, and her academic performance was also excellent. After graduating from university, she was assigned to the Provincial Public Security Department as an officer. Later, through introduction, Cai Yufen started dating Ding Yushu, and they got married a year later. After marriage, Cai Yufen gave birth to a daughter who is now 10 years old. Usually, her grandmother takes care of her and does not live with Cai Yufen.

  Ding Yushu hugged Cai Yufen and kissed her, smiling: "Yufen, what perfume did you put on today? It smells so good!"

  Cai Yufen pushed Ding Yushu: "You're tired, hurry up and take a bath. After taking a bath, go to bed early. Don't you have a meeting tomorrow?"

  "You go to the bedroom and wait for me, I'll be done washing up soon." Dīng Yùshù said as he started taking off his clothes.

  "The water temperature is just right, the shampoo and body wash are all placed on the edge of the bathtub." Cai Yufen instructed, twisting her sensual waist as she walked out of the bathroom.

  Ding Yushu took off his clothes and lay directly in the bathtub, with his head resting on the edge of the bathtub. He closed his eyes slightly and started taking a bath.

  After a while, Ding Yushu suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, followed by a strange man's voice, "Hmm?" Ding Yushu frowned: "Who came?"

  "Lao Ding, someone is looking for you." Cai Yufen's voice came from outside the door.

  Ding Yushu came out of the bathtub, found a towel to wipe his body clean, put on a robe and walked out of the bathroom.

  A man in his 30s with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute face, wearing a gray suit, sat on the sofa in the living room, looking exceptionally spirited.

  Cai Yufen was standing on one side brewing tea for the man.

  As soon as he saw Ding Yushu walk out of the bathroom, the man immediately stood up from the sofa and smiled slightly: "You are Director Ding, aren't you?"

  Ding Yushu looked up and down at the man with a vigilant expression and asked: "Who are you? We don't seem to know each other, do we?"

  "Oh, I'm Long Xiao Tian, I came here today uninvited, wanting to discuss some matters with Director Ding." The man's attitude was very polite.

  "Dragon Roar Heaven?! The leader of the Flying Eagle Gang?" Ding Yushu was taken aback, and then his face changed color.

  "Haha... I didn't think Director Ding had heard of my humble name, it's truly an honor." Long Xiao Tian said with a smile.

  "What are you doing here!" Ding Yushu's tone was extremely cold.

  Long Xiao swept a glance at Cai Yufen who was pouring tea: "There's something I'd like to discuss with Director Ding..."

  Ding Yushu waved his hand to interrupt Long Xiao Tian's speech and turned to Cai Yu Fen: "Yu Fen, you go back to your room first."

  Cai Yufen was taken aback and looked at Long Xiaotian with a puzzled expression, then nodded and walked into the bedroom.

  Ding Yushu walked over to the sofa and sat down, his face sinking as he said, "Speak, what exactly did you want me for?"

  "I won't beat around the bush with Director Ding either. I want Director Ding to show some mercy and stop targeting Fei Ying Bang." As he spoke, Long Xiao Tian took out a bank card from his pocket and gently placed it on the tea table.

  "What do you mean by this!" Ding Yushu glanced at the bank card.

  "There are 300,000 yuan in this bank card, it's just a small token of my appreciation, I hope Director Ding will accept it." Long Xiao Tian said slowly.

  "You're trying to bribe me." Ding Yushu narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

  "I just want to make friends with Director Ding." Long Xiao Tian said while secretly observing Ding Yu Shu's expression.

  "Hand over your bank card before I lose my temper!" Ding Yushu said, suppressing the anger in his heart.

  Long Xiang Tian was taken aback and said: "Is Director Ding dissatisfied with the amount? Then I'll add another 1 million."

  "Take it away!" Ding Yushu's face turned somewhat pale.

  "500,000." Long Xiang Tian stretched out 5 fingers.

  "Bang!" With a loud slap, Ding Yushu slammed his hand on the tea table, causing the teacups to shake: "Get out, take your money and get out of here!"

  Long Xiao's face revealed a shocked expression, staring blankly at the furious Ding Yushu, not knowing what to say.

  Perhaps the noise in the living room was too loud, Cai Yufen walked out of the bedroom with a look of surprise.

  "Director Ding, don't get angry, let's talk it over..." Long Xiao Tian took a light breath.

  "I have nothing to talk to you about, you're not welcome here, leave immediately!" Ding Yushu said impatiently.

  He took a deep look at Ding Yushu, Long Xiao Tian nodded, picked up the bank card on the tea table, and walked out of the room.

  "Lao Ding, what's going on here?" Cai Yufen asked in surprise.

  "Ding Yushu coldly snorted: 'Who told you to let him into the house?!'"

  "He said he knew you and wanted to talk to you about something, so I let him in," Cai Yufen explained.

  "What nonsense! Listen to me, don't ever let strangers into the house again!" Ding Yushu shouted a sentence and stormed into the bedroom.

  "Bang!" The bedroom door was slammed shut heavily.

  Cai Yufen was stunned in the living room.

  Long Xiao Tian left Ding Yu Shu's home and immediately called Lin San, recounting the conversation with Ding Yu Shu.

  After listening to Long Xiao Tian's account, Lin San also had a headache. This Ding Yu Shu was simply an unyielding hard bone who didn't know the taste of oil and salt.

  "Just go ahead with the second plan (Lin San and Long Xiao Tian had discussed it, first courtesy then military action. If Ding Yu Shu is willing to accept money or propose other conditions, there's no problem. In case Ding Yu Shu insists on dealing with Fei Ying Gang, we can only resort to some ruthless means)." After finishing speaking, Lin San hung up the phone.

  Long Xiao put away his phone and drove back to the Flying Eagle Gang's headquarters.

  At night.

  The cold wind was blowing strongly, and the road was desolate and empty without a single person in sight.

  "Thud, thud, thud..." Suddenly, a dozen or so young men emerged from the intersection, each holding a club and wearing a duckbill cap that covered half of their face. They were all dressed in uniform over-the-knee windbreakers, walking together while vigilantly observing their surroundings.

  "Halt!" A tall young man raised his hand.

  A dozen young people immediately stopped in their tracks.

  The tall young man looked around, then pointed to the several shops across the street: "Smash, smash all the glass for me. Remember, absolutely do not hurt anyone. Smash the glass and immediately disperse and escape." After finishing speaking, he led a dozen or so young people to charge to the front of the shops, raised the clubs in their hands and smashed them fiercely towards the shop windows.

  "Crash!" A crisp sound, and the glass of a dozen or so windows all shattered and splattered to the ground.

  At this time, several shops lit up their lights, accompanied by bursts of shouting.

  "Run!" The tall young man waved his hand and rushed eastward.

  Several other young people also dispersed and ran in all directions.

  In less than a moment, more than ten young people disappeared into the night.

  Five minutes later, the police arrived and searched several streets but couldn't find the person who smashed the glass until dawn.

  That night, at least 30 shops across the city had their glass windows smashed.

  When the police arrived at the scene, the thugs had already run away without a trace.

  The police at the Public Security Bureau were busy all night, but except for seeing a floor of broken glass and getting scolded by the shop owner, they got nothing else.

  The next night, several dozen more storefronts had their windows smashed.

  On the third night, the police station received many more alarm calls. Without exception, they were all reports of their own shop windows being smashed.

  The police at the public security bureau were furious, it was clear that someone was intentionally causing trouble. To avoid any more shop windows being smashed, the public security bureau increased its nighttime patrols, with two officers assigned to patrol each street all night.

  Perhaps it was the effect of police patrols, and there were no more incidents of smashing store windows at night.

  Just as the police were about to let their guard down, something unexpected happened again.

  Several supermarkets were robbed of their money...
