Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

In the next few days, Lao Yang did not go out except for meeting with Lei Luo. The two had afternoon tea together and talked about the bright prospects of mutual understanding and mutual assistance between the community and the military and police, and reached a verbal agreement of mutual benefit and win-win.

Next, the rectification will be tried out in the seven districts controlled by the Changle Gang. Lao Yang supports this behavior to stabilize social order. Compared with paying fees, he hopes for a safe and stable social order, so when Lei Luo came to discuss it with him, he agreed and put forward some constructive suggestions.

In fact, the seven districts controlled by the Changle Gang in the entire Xiangjiang area are the most stable areas. If it weren't for some young policemen who kept looking for trouble and charging fees, the territory controlled by the Changle Gang in the entire Xiangjiang area would be the safest and most stable.

In fact, the only unstable factor within the area controlled by the Changle Gang is the Kowloon Walled City. Since the 14K was wiped out, the entire Kowloon Walled City has been included in the scope of the Changle Gang. Since there has been no time to deal with it, it has been delayed until now. In fact, the power of the Chaoshan Gang in the Kowloon Walled City is not big or small. It is considered the largest force in the village. In front of the Changle Gang, it is just a strong ant.

Because the benefits are not big enough and it is difficult to attack, the large gangs have not targeted it. In Lao Yang's opinion, it is time to eradicate the cancer of Kowloon City and let it exit the stage of history ahead of time.

Lao Yang picked up the phone and called the Hu Baiquan Law Firm, with which he had been cooperating, and asked them to cooperate with Changle Company to secretly find out the landlords who held the land deeds of Kowloon Walled City and purchase them. For those who disagreed, Changle Gang also had means. After collecting most of the land deeds, they would directly demolish Kowloon Walled City and replan it, ending its history ahead of time.

April 4th came quickly. Old Yang, his wife and housekeeper Tian came to the competition venue to inspect the venue. The Happy Valley venue had been newly decorated, with banners and posters posted at the entrance, all of which were portraits and introductions of popular figures in the martial arts conference.

One or two members of the Changle Gang patrolled every few meters to prevent anyone from causing trouble. When everyone arrived at the stands, the first thing they saw was three fighting platforms standing in the middle of the arena.

As the cold weapon long-range attack competition, the arena has the largest area. The venue is relatively narrow and long, 120 meters long and 60 meters wide. Various obstacles have been set up in the field, and boulders, wooden stakes, etc. are scattered in disorder. In the middle is a 10x10 meter arena, which is a cold weapon close combat arena, surrounded by swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. On the far right is a 5x5 meter competition arena, which is a place for boxing and kicking kung fu competitions. All three arenas are equipped with various blocking objects and buffer zones to prevent stray arrows and broken blades from accidentally injuring others.

The entire stand has been renovated, and the venue that can accommodate 2 people has been transformed into a venue that can accommodate 25,000 people. Betting points, snack and drink kiosks and telescope sales points are set up at the four corners of the stand. Free drinking water is provided at the top of each stand.

Lao Yang was very satisfied with the scene. Steward Tian introduced to everyone: "So far, the number of people who have registered for this martial arts conference has reached more than 800, including 200 people registered for cold weapon long-range combat, 300 people registered for cold weapon close combat, and more than 300 people registered for fist and foot combat. All people will participate in the elimination rounds in the first three days, and the top 20 will be retained for long-range combat, and the top 40 for weapons and fists and feet will be retained. On the fourth day, the 100 people left will participate in the final decisive round to determine the 1,2,3st, nd, and rd place in each event."

"We invited 26 referees in total, including 6 from Europe and America, 2 from Thailand, 6 from Japan, 1 from South Korea, 1 from India, and 10 from China. The referees were decided by drawing lots for each match. We gave away 200 tickets, sold more than 2 tickets, and reserved 300 tickets, with a total sales of 22 Hong Kong dollars. We cooperated with several casinos to jointly open the boxing betting market and have received bets of 9,000 million Hong Kong dollars. It is said that other casinos are also secretly opening the boxing betting market and receiving considerable gambling funds."

“本次一定一共调动帮派人员1000人维护秩序。场地费、规费以及公关费花费200万港币。购买现场直播和转播的电台一共16家，共收到转播费用1500万港币。广告及赞助费用1200万港币。本次比赛所有报名武者的衣服都由咱们长乐帮提供，上面印制的广告收入也达到了550万。”

"In the agreement we signed with the fighters, there is a minimum guaranteed appearance fee of 5 yuan, and disability is calculated separately. Death is a one-time compensation of 50 Hong Kong dollars. According to the accountant's estimate, the amount of compensation that may need to be paid for disability and death after the game is about 3 million Hong Kong dollars."

He paused and looked at Lao Yang. Seeing no reaction, he continued, "This competition is quite different from the plan. There are many guerrillas and few real masters! Due to special circumstances, there are less than 100 people from the mainland who came to participate in the competition. There are about 200 Europeans and Americans who tried their luck, about 400 Asians, and about 100 African blacks. There are basically no famous sects or famous people in the martial arts world!"

Butler Tian looked at Lao Yang and saw that there was no disappointment on his face, so he said carefully: "About 200 military and police officers were dispatched to maintain order at the scene. A group of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong received VIP tickets. Many wealthy people also purchased a large number of audience seats through their subordinates. It is said that they are distributed to the company's middle and senior management and outstanding employees as company benefits."

Old Yang nodded in satisfaction, turned around and looked at Steward Tian and the others and said, "This venue is still too old and the location is not ideal. Many supporting facilities have not been built and are not up to date. It is not suitable for hosting a large-scale sports event like ours. Therefore, we must speed up the plan to purchase land and build a large-scale competition and leisure venue. The Wulin Conference is held every five years, and the rules and regulations and related competition subjects need to be further improved. The first time it is held, it will definitely be controversial and despised. We must provide good related services to let the world know that this is a famous event and a fortune-making event."

"After the first place is determined, add it to all the first place awards, and I will enjoy the support of Changle Company for the next five years, $100 million per year. In addition, I will be provided with a villa, free dining cards for Changle's restaurants, top-notch car pick-up services, etc. Let all the martial artists in the world know that if you win the first place in the martial arts conference, your life will be full of feasting and revelry for the next five years. Let the next martial arts conference become the world's attention, and all the sects will compete to participate in the first event. This first session is relatively relaxed, and each session in the future will require basic conditions to participate, such as speed, strength, flexibility, and skills to a certain level before you can sign up to participate!"

"Let's erect a stone tablet in the stadium we built and engrave the first place winners of each session on it so that the world will remember it forever. I don't believe there is anyone who would not be tempted!"

Everyone nodded and agreed with Lao Yang's statement. What everyone in this world pursues is nothing more than "fame and fortune". If you can gain both fame and fortune by participating in the martial arts conference, how can you not be crazy!

The group left the venue and returned to the villa.

At this time, Soli, Lao Yang's arch-enemy, was looking at the row of soldiers in front of him and reviewing the equipment they were wearing with Walter.

A soldier stepped forward, raised the strange-shaped weapon in his hand and fired it forward. A steel net unfolded in the air and wrapped a goat in front of him, emitting crackling electric current. The goat's limbs twitched immediately and it was subdued and fell to the ground.

Walter looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, while Solly frowned and continued reading without saying a word.

The second soldier stepped forward, raised his weapon, and pulled the trigger at an old cow in front of him. A missile as thick as an arm exploded and disintegrated in the air 5 meters away, splitting into 50 small arrows that quickly covered the front, and the whole cow fell to the ground with blood and flesh dripping.

Walter applauded, and Solly's frown deepened.

The third soldier took a step forward, raised his weapon, and pulled the trigger at a goat in front of him. In a split second, a huge electric current shot out from the weapon and hit the goat. The powerful electric current burst out from the goat's body and attacked the surrounding animals with a blanket electric current, causing them to twitch and fall to the ground, unable to resist.

Walter shouted excitedly: "Good! This is a weapon of war."

Soli's brows were furrowed in his forehead.

The fourth soldier took out a strange weapon and pulled the trigger at a goat in front of him. The air trembled and the goat in front of him immediately fell to the ground unconscious. The surrounding animals dodged, their legs and feet trembling, and they could fall to the ground at any time. Soli and Walter also felt chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

The last soldier stepped forward, raised the special rifle on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger at the target in front of him. There was a 10-centimeter-thick special synthetic steel fixed in front of him. The bullet hit the steel plate and a hole appeared instantly. Continuously pulling the trigger left a series of round holes on the steel plate.

Walter shouted excitedly: "Beautiful! Nice! Such a great weapon is the weapon of war."

Soli, who was standing next to them, poured cold water on them and said, "Lieutenant Walter, is this the weapon you developed? I am so disappointed! Apart from the sonic weapon inside, the other weapons can be used against ordinary people, and ordinary warriors should have no problem, but against Boss Li, they are just sending them to their deaths!"

Solly looked Walter straight in the eye and asked, "Are you sure you want them to die with these weapons?"

This statement immediately caused dissatisfaction among the five special forces, and Walter asked in return: "Mr. Solly, don't you think these weapons are amazing? This is something I never dared to think of before. You don't even recognize such fantastic weapons! Does Mr. Solly have more powerful weapons? Why don't you ask him to come out and show us."

Several people stared at Soli closely, as if they were going to make him suffer. Soli nodded and said, "Lieutenant Walter, it seems that your understanding of Boss Li is still superficial. It is wrong to imagine it with a normal person's thinking. The strength that Boss Li showed in the last competition is only a drop in the bucket of his strength. I am absolutely sure that these soldiers will only become the dead souls of Boss Li's men."

Several special forces soldiers stared at Soli with terrifying eyes. Soli said indifferently, "We used infrasonic weapons to knock out Boss Li a few months ago. After recent observations, we have reason to believe that this low-power weapon can no longer pose a threat to Boss Li. According to the information we have collected, Boss Li is very fast, what China calls Qinggong, and can reach 20 meters per second, or even faster."

Soli scanned several special warfare soldiers, looked at them in surprise and said, "Although these special warfare soldiers are also very fast, they cannot pose a threat to the high-speed moving Boss Li. They may not even have a chance to attack before being killed. Just like this stun gun, it is a complete bomb. Once the target approaches, it cannot distinguish between friend and foe. It is not as useful as a stick."

Walter had calmed down and was thinking about what Soli said. The only things that could cause trouble to Boss Li were the capture net and armor-piercing bullets. But once they got close, these soldiers might not have any room to resist.

Walter frowned and asked Soli, "Captain Soli, I wonder what weapons you have prepared?"

Soli waved his hand and asked an agent behind him to bring up a box and put it on the table. After opening it, there were three weapons inside.

Soli picked up one of them and introduced it: "This is a fast-acting anesthetic. Once you open the mechanism and throw it out, it will instantly spread throughout the entire 5x5 meter area. Once you inhale or get this drug on your body, it will immediately penetrate into your skin or respiratory tract and cause paralysis, making you lose your ability to resist. Based on the current test results, an elephant will fall into a coma in 0.5 seconds."

After putting it back in the suitcase, he picked up the second weapon and said, "This is an ultra-high frequency blast bomb. After it explodes, it will cause high-frequency vibrations in the surrounding space, instantly shaking the internal organs and brain, causing nerves to become a mess. The mildest ones will cry and lose the ability to move, while the worst ones will immediately fall into a coma, and there is a chance that their intelligence will be affected."

He picked up the last weapon and said, "This is a mysterious substance. We haven't fully studied its specific effects. We only know that when it is exposed to the air, it will affect the surrounding life forms, making them abnormally excited, increasing their blood flow, and losing their awareness of the surrounding dangers. It's a bit like smoking marijuana. But after leaving the range, the creatures will remain excited for a day, and then the whole person will be paralyzed and out of control. It takes about half a month to gradually regain consciousness and control of the body."

Walter and the special forces soldiers took a deep breath after hearing Solly's introduction of each weapon. This is the heritage of the old country. Walter asked very seriously: "Captain Solly, how many weapons do you have?"

Soli touched his nose awkwardly and said, "A total of 18 missiles have been developed, 6 of each type. 9 were used in weapon experiments, leaving 9 weapons, of each type. We brought one of each type for Boss Li. If used properly, we are sure to take him down."

Walter and the special forces soldiers were relieved after hearing the number. If there were more such weapons, other countries would just surrender. Soli asked the agents to take away the weapons and took Walter back to the office to discuss how to capture Boss Li.

Old Yang, who had no idea about this, was now listening to the radio in the garden with Meigui and Yuting. Haitang took housekeeper Tian to the Fang family's old house. It was said that the head of the family called and asked her to go back to deal with important matters.

Although the three women's bellies haven't swelled yet, they have already shown the characteristics of pregnant women. Recently, the three of them have gained a lot of weight, especially Shen Yuting. Due to malnutrition before, her calves are now swollen and her pregnancy reactions are also serious. After coming to Xiangjiang, she has been mainly taking ginseng soup and medicinal food to nourish herself. It seems that she has improved slightly, but she still can't stand for a long time.

Rose's sister Deng Lijuan had some problems with the family business these days, so she went back to deal with it. The task of accompanying the two girls fell on Lao Yang.
