A few months after the end of that summer, many unforeseen events occurred in Jianghai. Of course, most of them were concentrated in the underworld that ordinary people could not come into contact with.
Not long after Liu Zheng's death, Yang Zhenxing, who was the most powerful person in Sha Zhu Bang, was shot in the leg on the street. After that, there seemed to be some internal disagreements within Sha Zhu Bang. However, after several bosses or their family members were hospitalized for a period of time, the entire Sha Zhu Bang was temporarily united under the influence of a strange atmosphere. The person who took over as the person in charge was originally Liu Zheng's only daughter – a seventeen-year-old girl, Liu Huaisha, who was still in her third year of high school.
The position of the father was taken over by the daughter. Although it was nearing the 21st century, it wasn't rare in this kind of organization. Of course, everyone knew that a little girl wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. Raising her up was at most a symbol to balance the conflicts between the bosses of the Sand Bamboo Gang.
At the same time, the big gang, Xinning Gang, which had been fighting with Sha Zhu Bang for territory near Jianghai, finally found an opportunity. Taking advantage of Sha Zhu Bang's collapse, they entered Jianghai in an attempt to annex Sha Zhu Bang's territory.
Liu Zheng's corpse hadn't even turned cold yet, but the Sand Bamboo Gang had already experienced a series of internal strife. However, the new female boss seemed to have taken out some sort of ignorant personality trait and was determined to fight against the Xinning Gang.
Her orders were unreasonable, and everyone was watching from the sidelines as a joke. However, it was also at this time that the government suddenly launched a round of particularly strict anti-pornography and illegal activities. The police seemed to focus on the particularly strong Xinning Gang. Cooperating with the actions of several nearby cities, they consecutively arrested dozens of Xinning Gang's leaders. Before Xinning Gang's entry could even begin, they were stranded by this big wave.
Taking advantage of this, Sha Zhu Bang, who had slightly restrained themselves, temporarily avoided the biggest crisis. Everyone said that Liu Zheng was protecting his daughter and that she was really lucky this time. However, just as the limelight was over, the hot-blooded girl, who did not know anything in the eyes of outsiders, made an extremely stupid decision. From then on, Sha Zhu Bang would no longer sell drugs. Furthermore, they would not allow anyone to do drugs in their territory.
This was simply a scene that was difficult to see even in a hot-blooded manga!
Because everyone knew that in terms of practical possibility, the probability of success was infinitely close to zero.
Just like a kind person who wished for world peace, the wish was very beautiful, but it was only truly meaningful if it could be realized. Even the government would understand that if the water was too clear, there would be no fish. Yet, the daughter of an underworld boss was clamoring to ban drugs here.
Sure enough, when this wish was gradually revealed, it first caused a strong backlash within Sha Zhu Bang. Everyone thought that this was a girl who did not understand the workings of the underworld at all. However, at this time, the atmosphere of the entire Jianghai was still shrouded in the pressure of the government's crackdown on the underworld. This also led the whole matter in a direction that was originally completely impossible.
While the government was cracking down on the Xinning Gang, they were also putting in a lot of effort to clean up the entire drug market in Jianghai. Originally, this was something that happened every time they took action. Everyone was already used to it and had a certain degree of ability to deal with it. However, this time in Sha Zhu Bang, as the higher-ups revealed their intentions, a few of the people in charge who were most strongly opposed were immediately arrested and sent to prison. After that, a huge amount of funds of unknown origin began to be poured into Sha Zhu Bang. A meticulous reform plan was pushed out, and began to reform the gang's drug trafficking business in an orderly manner. People were surprised to find that behind this ignorant girl who was full of passion and desire, there was actually an incomparably powerful supporter, and this supporter was very likely the government.
This was not some wild era. In the land of China, every gang that could survive had a certain degree of tacit understanding with the government. There were also some who cooperated in certain aspects, but there were too few who could be so blatant. Some people began to shout in horror that the government wanted to "recruit" them.
However, everyone was here for the money. When large amounts of funds were continuously injected, various plans were carried out, and several companies were established as personnel placement and started to operate normally under the arrangements of professionals, the internal backlash was subtly suppressed to the minimum.
Under such a background, Sha Zhu Bang began to clear its name.
However, the competition between the various small gangs became more and more intense. When Sha Zhu Bang's share of drug trafficking suddenly decreased, the rest of the people saw the opportunity to start fighting for territory. In the face of huge profits, there were even many people who dared to go to war with Sha Zhu Bang.
"It's not like you haven't done it before. Now that you're not doing it, are you not allowing others to touch it?
Those who block others' path to wealth will be killed! "
Shouting such slogans, the fight between the small gangs became more and more intense. At the same time, the Xinning Gang, which was jointly suppressed by the government and Sha Zhu Bang, did not give up. They continued to persuade the other gangs to stand on their side. The whole of Jianghai passed October, November, and December in such an atmosphere. When the year 2000 arrived, it was still in chaos and unease.
Outside of Jianghai's underworld, there were also some things that were affected by Liu Zheng's death. Unpredictable changes occurred.
"Mr Fang said that he wanted me to convey his gratitude to Miss Yiling … Uh, isn't it very confusing?
In fact, what he meant was that if there was a chance to directly thank her in person or over the phone, it would be best … "
At the beginning of January 2000, Xiaohan had just passed. The streets of Jianghai were suddenly shrouded in a sudden chill. In the gloomy weather, the pedestrians had already put on thick sweaters and sat in front of the window of a coffee shop. Ye Lian took off his scarf as he spoke to a teenager with a backpack.
"You guys really can't forget to look for her." Jiaming looked at his watch and said, "I have at most seven minutes left."
"It's just a little strange. Even a powerful organization like the Heavenly Network wants to look for her. If they can't find her, they'll just admit defeat. But there's not even a trace of her …" Ye Lian laughed, "You know what?
I once suspected that you were impersonating her. But after the Earl incident, I knew that this thought was stupid. "
"Oh." Jiaming nodded ambiguously, "Very stupid indeed."
"Alright, since you're definitely not willing to come out, I won't say anymore. However, that piece of information did save us a lot of things. Just this time alone, if the spy was successful, the information about the missile system would probably cause us to lose billions. So what Mr Fang means is, if there's anything else you need, don't be shy. It's best if everyone is happy."
"Give your mother a biscuit to eat …" Jiaming drank his coffee and cursed under his breath, "Oh, I'll tell you what I need."
"Are you rushing to pick up Shasha?"
"I made her miss two classes this afternoon."
Jiaming pursed his lips. If he couldn't get her back before dinner, Lingjing would probably flip out. Really …
"I'm so envious … Sha Zhu Bang's innocence is basically cleared. But … do we really have to continue fighting like this?
I don't have any opinions, I just feel that it's meaningless … "
"If someone is happy, then it's meaningful … Why?
Is there a voice from the top? "
But … if Sha Zhu Bang continues like this, the underworld will gradually reject them. In the end, what's the difference between them and the police? I really admire Shasha's ideals. Of course, it's important that she's happy. Maybe when you're thirty or forty years old, you can tell your children that when I was the boss, I killed whoever dared to sell drugs. But … when do you plan to make her understand?
Doing this is actually not very meaningful. "
Jiaming spread out his hands, "I think it's very meaningful. Under her leadership, the number of drug traffickers in Jianghai has decreased by at least half."
"Of course, but they're taking over one after another. Sha Zhu Bang is just going to continue like this?"
"For justice," Jiaming replied casually. He looked at his watch and stood up, "I'm going to find her. Bye …"
"Bye …"
"Ah, right."
Halfway through, Jiaming came back with a frown, "When we meet in the future, we can just chat on the street. There's no need to come to such a place …"
"I think it's more formal this way."
"No, you look more effeminate. When those people pass by and see that you're a woman, they can't help but take a second look and realize that you're a man. Then, they look at me in a more perverted way … OK, that's it …"
Jiaming waved his hand and left. Ye Lian was stunned for a long time, "F * ck …" He took out a mirror from his pocket and looked at it for a long time. No matter what, he felt that he looked very masculine, "What kind of aesthetic standards do these people have?"
As he complained, he heard a child at the table behind him say, "Mummy, that sister is so beautiful." His face immediately fell.
"Don't talk nonsense. That's my brother."
"But he's looking at himself in the mirror. Does he need to put on makeup? I've only seen mummy with a makeup mirror. Daddy never uses it …"
"I'm a special agent …"
He wanted to cry but had no tears to cry in his heart …
With such a gloomy mood, he paid the bill and went out. When he turned his head to look at the left corner of the street, he could still see Jiaming's figure standing there. He had one hand on the telephone pole and the other hand on his forehead. He didn't move for a long time.
At this time, the street was filled with people who had just finished work and school. The figure was blocked by pedestrians from time to time. He took a few glances and thought to himself, "You're not handsome, so why are you posing?"
When he thought about it again, the figure looked like he had eaten something wrong and was vomiting. He looked back at the cafe. When he looked again, the figure had already disappeared from the corner of the street.
