District 9

That night, the courtyards of the houses of the military and political leaders in the ninth district were all brightly lit, and many family members gathered together. The conflict on the northwest front became more and more intense, and even the ninth district in the far north seemed to smell the strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

In the Sha family villa, Sha Yong stood at the door and asked Sullivan softly: "Uncle, does the boss have an attitude?"

"Pu Xiazi came in from outside the line this time. It's not like he wants to mess around with our three major regions and withdraw the troops for some financial assistance." Sullivan explained in a low voice: "In recent years, the exchanges between the three major regions have been close. , there is a trend of unification, and the Sichuan and Zangyuan areas are vast and close to the fifth district, so they feel very insecure. This time the Pu Clan Corps forced its way inward, obviously to occupy the territory and give it to the fifth district. We need to build a deep defense to prevent the three major regions from joining forces and jointly developing Sichuan and Zangyuan, which would pose a threat to them, so peace talks are probably impossible."

"Although the area to be planned is an anarchy area, who the hell doesn't know that Sichuan and Zangyuan belong to the three major districts. If they do this, isn't this a premeditated invasion?" Sha Yong frowned. Brow: "But I don't understand. The Pu army has always been the king of the fifth district. Why do they act as thugs for the fifth district? They are cannon fodder. If they really do it, they will lose money. It’s going to be big.”

"Pu Xiazi has received a lot of funding from the fifth district in recent years, and there are too many armed forces there, including government forces, private armed forces, and independent armies. The Pu faction's army is nestled near the old triangle area, and there is no development. It's spatial, the territory is small, there are few resources, and there are few people." Sullivan shook his head slowly and said: "There is information that the Pu faction army is willing to take action first this time. It is the government army who promised them to seize the territory inside the line. , half of it will be given to the Pu family legion, so that they have room for development. Sichuan Mansion, Zangyuan is so vast, once Pu Yuan comes in, the sky is high and the birds can fly."

"Oh, that's right." Sha Yong nodded slowly: "What about the attitude of our military council?"

"The three major regions have jointly submitted a protest application to the Asian Alliance Government in an attempt to put some pressure on the fifth region," Sullivan replied softly: "But there is no result yet."

"What's the attitude of our big brother from District 8?"

"Gu Tai'an is so tough. He has almost unified the military and political affairs of the Eighth District. He wants to take a step further and sit on the throne. He is missing a chance to leave his name in history, so he definitely wants to fight this time." Sullivan He said with his hands behind his back: "Our old man went to the Military Council and waited for the letter. It is estimated that there will be big moves recently. Currently, all the troops stationed on the northwest line in the three major regions have advanced to the firefighting area."

…

Late at night, Nanhu City.

Xiao Liang drove Lin Chengdong to the slum near the dock, slowly parked the car on the side of the road, and said softly: "This is it."

"Let's go." Lin Chengdong opened the car door and stepped out.

Xiaoliang locked the car, followed Lin Chengdong and introduced softly: "The man I'm looking for is called Awei. I'm a little kid. He has been around the dock for more than ten years. He has a group of brothers under him and he does everything neatly." Yes. The reason why we haven't lost contact is because I work at the patrol station. Sometimes he will ask me to do some things and give me some money. I have been paying attention to him for a long time, and he only needs money. , I dare to do anything, there’s absolutely no problem with your courage.”

"How are people?" Lin Chengdong asked.

"It's not bad. Anyway, every time I ask for help, I do it quite authentically." Xiao Liang thought for a moment and replied.

Lin Chengdong nodded and said nothing more.

While chatting, the two walked into the small courtyard on the right, passed through two iron gates, and entered a very dilapidated bungalow.

"Hey, here you go, Ah Liang," a young man in his thirties came out of the bedroom, wearing a turtleneck sweater and said hello to Xiao Liang: "How are you doing recently?"

"Very good." Xiaodian nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Chengdong and said, "This is the boss I told you about. You can just call him Brother Dong."

"Hello, hello, Brother Dong!" Ah Wei stretched out his palm and said.

Lin Chengdong shook hands with the other party, instinctively glanced into the room with his peripheral vision, and saw a large table in the hall of the bedroom, with four men and one woman sitting next to it, drinking.

"Come on, come in and have something to eat." Ah Wei greeted.

Lin Chengdong and Xiaoliang looked at each other and walked into the bedroom.

"Let me introduce, Xiao A Liang, this is the boss I'm talking about, Brother Dong!" After A Wei introduced everyone, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down and have something to eat."

There was no heating in the house, only a dirty electric stove. The four men were tall and thick-set, their faces flushed from drinking. They all greeted Lin Chengdong and Xiao Liang with straight eyes, and even talked some drunken talk.

After Lin Chengdong and Xiaoliang sat down, Awei held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Come on, let's do one first!"

Xiao Liang was about to raise his glass when he heard this, but Lin Chengdong pondered for a long time and said with a smile: "Let's talk about things first, Ah Wei."

"That's okay." Ah Wei put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, we guys come out to play just to make some money, so as long as the price is okay, we can do whatever you want."

Lin Chengdong did not reply immediately, but turned to look at the others first.

"It's okay, Brother Dong, there are no outsiders in this room." Awei hugged the girl and said, "This is my woman, the others are brothers, you just tell her what to do."

Lin Chengdong frowned: "Let's talk alone."

Ah Wei blinked and immediately let go of the woman: "Okay, you go to that room, I'll talk to Brother Dong."

"Brother Dong, come back later and have a drink!"

"I'm going to take a rest and call a woman over."

The four men were walking unsteadily after drinking, talking drunkenly, and led the woman out of the room.

After Lin Chengdong watched these people leave, he looked at Ah Wei again and frowned.

Although they only met once, Lin Chengdong was not very satisfied with the performance of this group of people. But the job he wants to do needs to be done in the near future, otherwise he is afraid that things will change if it takes a long time.

Based on the above reasons, Lin Chengdong decided to take the risk and use them: "The money will not be small, the location is District 5, and there are about ten people. If you are capable, let's discuss the details, and we will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"It's not less, how much is it?" Ah Wei asked.

"At least seven digits." Lin Chengdong thought for a moment and replied.

"That's fine!" Awei replied without any hesitation: "It can be done, I'll find someone to do it."

…

That night, Qin Yu did not return from Fengbei. Instead, he invited some people from within the military and government to have dinner while waiting for the outcome of the negotiations on Coco's side.

Early the next morning, before Qin Yu could get up, he heard his cell phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"We're done talking. The other side wants a donation of 40 million." Coco's voice sounded.

"Forty million?" Qin Yu sat up suddenly: "This is too damn dark!"
