CHAPTER 444: 246. FIGHT!

An Nishang’s office.

The stunningly cold Judicial Bureau Chief was wrapped in a red dress, her voluptuous figure, the straps of the dress drawing out a deep V neckline, generously showcasing this body’s sensuality, the beauty of her form.

The chest of the Judicial Bureau Chief slowly rose and fell.

Looking at a secret letter on the table, her expression was uncertain, with a trace of confusion in the depths of her scarlet pupils.

How long had it been since she felt like this?

An Nishang couldn’t remember.

This uncontrollable feeling.

She closed her eyes, her long, slender, and alabaster legs capable of entwining a man’s waist to death placed on the desk, her entire person reclining in her chair.

Slowly closing her eyes, weariness shown clearly in her stunning face.

It’s really pointless.

Playing like this is really pointless.

...

Luo Qingtian had recently finally freed himself from the quagmire spiral of the Apocalypse Society.

Under the actions of the Tasting Commerce Association, the Apocalypse Society was completely held up by the forces led by the former Deputy Director of the Judicial Bureau, leaving them no time to bother him.

Luo Qingtian finally got himself together and realized his true enemy should always be that man, Chen Che.

The smuggling division under Luo Qingtian resumed its effectiveness, starting a frenzied, flagrant plunder against Master Chen, the vibrant figure in the Ninth Special Zone, targeting his smuggling ventures even more fiercely than before.

Smuggling routes were sealed one after another, and victories were delivered to his hands one by one.

The corner of Luo Qingtian’s mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile.

Ubirus holding a glass of red wine, raised his glass in Director Luo’s office to toast this director.

"Director Luo, are you satisfied with our cooperation? I have always said that as long as we collaborate, nothing can stop us in the Ninth Special Zone.

Currently, over 50% of the smuggling routes under Chen Che’s command have been severed by us, he should be overwhelmed now, having to sustain so many people, so many mouths.

Once these smuggling routes are cut, his cash flow will be under pressure.

Once he can’t pay salaries, can’t feed the many people beneath him.

His once loyal subordinates will instantly become greedy beasts, devouring him."

"The Commerce Association indeed has strength, so many hidden smuggling routes were surprisingly all uncovered."

"For cooperation, naturally both parties must bring forth their abilities to satisfy each other."

"However, Manager Ubirus, I hear your Tasting Commerce Association along with several other large trade associations and some capitalists have hoarded a large amount of coal and are currently using hunger marketing in the entire market.

Let me tell you, as of now, at least over 80% of the residents in the Ninth Special Zone haven’t bought coal yet, if you don’t release the goods soon, the citizens won’t just stand by and freeze to death.

If large-scale unrest arises at that time, it won’t be good for anyone."

Ubirus smiled as he heard this and said, "Don’t worry, Director Luo, within two days we’ll release the coal for sale, ensuring everyone has coal to use."

"Your heart is truly black, monopolizing all the coal and doubling the prices, hehe... The economic benefits of the Ninth Special Zone had finally improved a bit this year, only for the cold wave to come and for you capitalists to pocket it all."

Ubirus casually laughed, "It’s just regular business dealings."

Luo Qingtian, intending to remind an ally, smiled and said, "But I must tell you something, it’s said that our Master Chen is also interested in coal, and my intelligence organization has obtained firsthand information... somehow, this Master Chen has procured a large amount of coal through legitimate channels that’s about to be transported into the Ninth Special Zone.

It’s said this batch of coal is enough to influence the entire current coal market.

You had better seize the opportunity to avoid creating a wedding dress for someone else, failing to make money, and instead letting this Master Chen reap tons of profit; you must be aware.

We are causing such a stir to break this Master Chen’s financial chain, if he manages to profit through your arrangements with coal, then we’ve been busily working for nothing."

Ubirus paused at this and his eyes flashed as he spoke, "Where did Director Luo’s information come from? By what means does he manage to obtain coal? You know all channels in the Ninth Special Zone are occupied by us... even though the Ninth Special Zone produces plenty of coal, we’ve employed our means.

How does he manage to obtain coal?"

Luo Qingtian’s information naturally came from Song Xuejian, his intelligence queen.

Luo Qingtian still believed in Song Xuejian.

Luo Qingtian chuckled and said, "Manager Ubirus, you just need to know that this matter is true, my people need to continuously monitor his other smuggling routes, you’d better deploy a batch of people to keep a close eye on this Master Chen to avoid any other tricks!"

Ubirus inexplicably raised his vigilance to the utmost.

...

"Fuck them, bastards, a bunch of animals, fucking animals, fuck them, fuck them, fuck them!"

Bobby puffed on a cigar, cursing continuously, as Chen Che watched the exposed Bobby, hugging Xia Na and playfully caressing Xia Na’s slender waist and smiling, "Why is Bobby in such a hurry?"

"Master Chen, I’m just frustrated, the more I think the angrier I get, damn those bastards! We offered them so much money every month before, yet the damn Luo Qingtian exposed everything just with one action and revealed some of our routes.

Even if we don’t smuggle contraband, this type of route is priceless resource.

Fuck, the more I think the angrier I get, all those damn officials each with an unfillable stomach like gluttons!"

Bobby was truly angry. You have to know, these smuggling routes were carefully maintained by Bobby himself.

Whom to give money to, whom to find women for, Bobby had it all calculated.

Even though the Judicial Bureau’s status is sky-high, if you want your subordinates to work for you, you must provide them with benefits when needed.

Otherwise, if they deliberately make things difficult for you, it’s uncomfortable for everyone.

So when it comes to expenses in this area, Bobby truly didn’t hesitate.

Whatever amount should be given, he would give.

Chen Che, upon hearing these words, wore a slight smile without showing much other emotion.

He grabbed Xia Na’s snow-white calf, removed her shoe and white sock, holding her small, pinkish-white foot in his palm, toying with it.

"It tickles."

Xia Na nestled against Chen Che, originally reading a book, with great flexibility, twisting into an odd posture, pulling her foot back, but unable to escape Chen Che’s calloused hand.

Aware of his fondness for her feet, she bit a quick kiss to his neck as a release and let him continue playing.

Pinching her tender foot, Chen Che smiled and said, "It doesn’t matter, since we’re giving up on these businesses anyway, we might as well abandon them thoroughly.

I know what they’re thinking; they want to use this method to force our financial chain to break and throw us into internal chaos.

If they think doing this will break our financial chain, they’re severely underestimating us.

There are plenty of ways for me to make money.

Spread the word, from today on, cut off all resources and funding to maintain connections with these big-wigs, completely.

I tolerated them taking money without doing anything for so long.

Now, we’ve switched sides in this game.

We’re adopting a different strategy.

Find some brothers and build good relations with their grassroots subordinates.

Take them to bars, to brothels, and slip some red envelopes to their subordinates."

Bobby was a bit surprised and said, "Master Chen, we’re still giving them benefits? Their superiors are opportunists, why treat their working minions so well?"

"You don’t understand, as the saying goes, ’The king is easy to deal with, but the minions are hard to handle.’ Those leaders are fattened up, giving orders with just a word, but the work is done by the minions.

In the end, it’s still the minions who carry out actions.

Since those fattened leaders can’t be satisfied, why not feed the minions instead?

Let the minions taste the benefits, and the flavor of meat."

"But using such means seems a bit risky, it’s a blatant attempt at buying people’s loyalty, and when those minions’ leaders notice something’s fishy, they will certainly issue orders. Avoiding contact with us, or even becoming hostile, we’re clearly undermining their authority..."

"Exactly, I am blatantly undermining those departmental leaders.

I want to spend money on their subordinates.

And tell them that it doesn’t matter whose minion you are, being my minion has perks.

When their leaders stop them from taking money, guess whose source of income gets cut?"

Bobby’s eyes lit up: "But Master Chen, this is a risky move!"

"Doesn’t matter, what’s waste of some money anyway? I want to stir up the waters in the Ninth Special Zone.

I’ve already given the council enough face.

Fuck it, if they want to play like this, then we’ll play.

Chen Che’s fingers nestled between Xia Na’s toes, pinching her delicate toes.

"It tickles..."

Xia Na rubbed her head against his neck again, like a lazy cat.

Xia Na’s jade feet were very sensitive; being touched by Chen Che for too long made her ticklish, even her breathing turned somewhat awkward.

Bobby too had a knowing look in his eyes and nodded, prepared to leave to execute, laughing cheekily as he recalled something, "By the way, Master Chen, the coal is ready on that side."

Chen Che’s lips curved slightly and he said, "Then spread the word! Make sure all the citizens come to us for coal, as much of the pre-price rise coal as they want, we have plenty!"

Bobby chuckled.

"Master Chen, this move is truly cunning... but what if they don’t take the bait, won’t we just..."

"Doesn’t matter, do as I said. What I’m after now isn’t money, it’s public support."

Bobby still wanted to linger, but Xia Na’s innocent face flushed slightly, reaching to undo the button of her ultra-short shorts, revealing her fair lower abdomen, she glared at Bobby and said, "Get out."

With a glance, Bobby knew what was coming, grinning as he kindly closed the door.

The innocent Nana voluntarily slid her shorts down to her knees.

Curled up again like a little cat in Chen Che’s arms, Chen Che pinched her foot, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to kiss her sweet pink lips.
