Chapter 38
Eradicate Evil, Eliminate the Root

Though he had many misgivings in his heart.

Zhao Jia Liang knew in his heart.

Qi Tong Wei was right.

Interception of the goods from Hao Yu Group now.

Could at most only lock evidence in the Hao Yu Group.

It would not be possible to trace it back to Lin Yao Dong.

It might even be impossible to convict the Chairman Liu Hao Yu.

The President of Hao Yu Group, He Rui Long, could just step out and take the blame.

Qi Tong Wei observed Zhao Jia Liang's changing expressions and continued his ideological work.

“I understand your feelings.”

“You've been undercover for so many years.”

“Finally waiting for an opportunity to close in on the target.”

“Anyone would be worried that once this opportunity is missed, it will never come again.”

“But the drug trafficking network of Ta Zhai and Hao Yu.”

“Has existed for decades, even for twenty years.”

“These drug lords have been hiding underwater for a long time.”

“Now that they finally surface, it’s a chance to strike!”

“If we can’t catch them all at once.”

“How can we live up to the people’s trust?”

“And how can we not be worthy of the sacrifice of our comrades who came before us?!”

Zhao Jia Liang remained silent.

He took out a cigarette and lit it.

He also gave Qi Tong Wei one.

The two men puffed away, shrouded in smoke.

Silence didn't mean they had nothing to say.

On the contrary.

Silence was sometimes a kind of tacit understanding.

Halfway through their cigarettes.

Zhao Jia Liang suddenly said: “Chen Wen Ze has agreed to meet with me. After the meeting, what should I do next?”

Chen Wen Ze.

The Mayor of Dong Shan City.

He was also the elder brother of Chen Guang Rong, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Unit.

Although Qi Tong Wei only had the video of Lin Yao Dong bribing Ma Yun Bo.

Both as an insider who knew the Ta Zhai world well.

And through the deep investigation these days.

Qi Tong Wei could confirm.

The Mayor of Dong Shan City.

Had a deep and improper relationship with Lin Yao Dong.

From the investigation of the past, it could be concluded.

Lin Yao Dong and Chen Wen Ze knew each other for a long time.

At that time, Chen Wen Ze was not the Mayor of Dong Shan City.

He was just a simple official in Dong Shan City.

At that time, Lin Yao Dong was just a smuggler.

Of course.

Whether Lin Yao Dong had already smuggled prohibited drugs at that time.

Qi Tong Wei didn’t know.

But through the investigation of Lin Yao Dong's early wealth accumulation.

More than likely.

Lin Yao Dong had already been travelling to the Greater Bay Area at that time.

Engaging in prohibited drug smuggling activities.

Lin Yao Dong had already interacted with Chen Wen Ze.

However, later, he was investigated for smuggling cases.

Lin Yao Dong fled to the Greater Bay Area to avoid the limelight.

Chen Wen Ze was also transferred to other places.

As a result, it was several years later.

When Lin Yao Dong returned to Dong Shan.

He had already transformed into a successful businessman.

Then through the investment conference.

He met Chen Wen Ze again, who at that time was the Deputy Mayor, responsible for investment.

From then on, Lin Yao Dong became Chen Wen Ze’s benefactor.

He used money to clear the path for Chen Wen Ze behind the scenes, and bribed his way up to the position.

When Chen Wen Ze finally sat on the position of Mayor.

He used his power to return the favor to Lin Yao Dong.

Giving him all kinds of smuggling benefits.

He even promoted Lin Yao Dong to a higher position.

Not only did he make him the Village Chief of Ta Zhai Village.

He also helped him obtain many public identities.

He turned the former smuggler.

Into a model citizen and a charitable businessman of Dong Shan City.

With these identities.

Lin Yao Dong flourished in Dong Shan City.

He built schools, established nursing homes, and invested in factories.

He was a pillar of society.

Not only did he make Ta Zhai Village a drug manufacturing center.

He also turned Ta Zhai into his own kingdom!

Therefore, Lin Yao Dong's protector was not just Ma Yun Bo.

Behind him, there was this dark overlord who held all the power in Dong Shan City!

After listening to Zhao Jia Liang’s question.

Qi Tong Wei said: “For now, you just need to play the role of a Hong Kong businessman.”

“You came to Dong Shan because you know from high-level relationships that Dong Shan will have great development in the future.”

“So you came back and planned to invest in the real estate here.”

“Don’t try to find out anything about Lin Yao Dong.”

“Let him come to you.”

“Once he finds you.”

“Don’t agree to anything right away.”

“First, use your connections to ask Liu Hao Yu or He Rui Long.”

Zhao Jia Liang nodded.

This was equivalent to Lin Yao Dong checking on him as well.

Even though he, Zhao Jia Liang, already knew a lot about Lin Yao Dong.

He still needed to act.

To establish a persona of being careful and cautious.

And also to lull Lin Yao Dong into a false sense of security, making him believe that he was not targeting him.

Qi Tong Wei returned to the previous question.

“The trap has been set.”

“This bait, Lin Yao Dong has to take it, whether he wants to or not.”

“As long as there are no problems overseas.”

“Lin Yao Dong will come to you soon.”

Zhao Jia Liang nodded again.

He finished his last puff of cigarette.

Looking at the night sky, he muttered to himself:

“After so many years, I’ve almost forgotten whether I am black or white.”

“Li Wei Min should have told you, right?”

“Li Fei is my son.”

“My real name is Li Jian Zhong.”

Qi Tong Wei nodded.

Even if Li Wei Min hadn’t told him, he would have known.

But Qi Tong Wei was still curious and asked: “I’ve always wanted to know your identity, are you a policeman?”

Zhao Jia Liang shook his head, without any concealment.

“I’m just a businessman, a former sailor.”

“But my wife was like you.”

“She was a narcotics officer.”

“She sacrificed herself.”

At this point.

Qi Tong Wei understood everything.

He slowly raised his hand and saluted Zhao Jia Liang.

Zhao Jia Liang paused for a moment and returned the salute.

Qi Tong Wei said: “Safe return.”

Zhao Jia Liang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and finally left with a flourish.

Turning back.

Zhao Jia Liang called the Superintendent in the Greater Bay Area: “Old Tan.”

A voice came from the other end of the line: “How is it?”

Zhao Jia Liang nodded: “The goods from Hao Yu Group are not moving, let them go.”

“Good, that’s what we were thinking too. Jia Liang, it’s good that you thought it through. Let me guess, the young leader spent a lot of effort persuading you, right?”

Zhao Jia Liang laughed softly and said to his old friend on the phone: “He didn’t persuade me, he convinced me.”

The voice on the other end laughed: “To convince you, this old stubborn, this kid is not simple.”

“Jia Liang, you must know, our goal is the same, to eliminate evil.”

Zhao Jia Liang nodded: “To cut the grass and root out the weeds!”

He looked up at the stars and silently said: Su Juan, I will fulfill your unfinished business.
