183: Chapter 183 The Arrival of the Long'an Bureau

Lin Heng, however, only gave a faint smile upon hearing those words.

His enemies were spread across the globe; there was nothing that could truly make things difficult for him.

Whether he knew or not was no longer important.

"Do you really think I have no way of dealing with you?"

Lin Heng chuckled.

He casually beckoned to one of his subordinates.

The man quickly understood his meaning.

At that moment, he slowly walked toward Xu Yinlong.

"W-what are you doing?"

The Bald Man held something in his hand—it was a device resembling a pair of pliers, but with a much longer handle, seemingly designed for controlling someone from a distance.

Its opening was wide, likely enough to clamp down fully on a person's arm. Given the man's arm circumference of over forty centimeters, no one would think being caught in such a device would end well.

Xu Yinlong's expression quickly soured upon seeing the man approach.

He instinctively pursed his dry lips and took a step back.

His voice was trembling.

"What am I doing?"

"Hehe... you'll find out in a moment."

The Bald Man sneered.

He naturally had no qualms about the tasks Lin Heng assigned, let alone Xu Yinlong's status!

To show mercy to a gang leader who had committed every evil deed imaginable was to be cruel to his victims!

Soon, the Bald Man chuckled and began to aim the device in his hand at Xu Yinlong.

And then...

A blood-curdling scream rang out.

It sounded like a pig being slaughtered!

...

Some time passed.

The sound of hurried footsteps soon echoed from outside.

Accompanying them was a stream of submissive, fawning flattery.

"Hahaha... Director Long, what brings you to our humble establishment today?"

"If we'd known you were coming, we would have definitely tidied up the place first thing this morning."

A general manager of the Poison Bar had a smile plastered on his face, his words as slick as honey!

At this, Long Anyou gave a cold snort.

"If I didn't come, I'm afraid even the vast Dragon Capital wouldn't be big enough to hold you all!"

The people following Long Anyou were already confiscating numerous illegal items from various corners.

There were plenty of firearms and drugs...

If an ordinary person were caught with these, they'd likely be dragged out and executed in no time.

Most people would be wailing for their parents at the sight of such a scene.

However, the general manager simply chuckled.

"Director Long, what do you mean by that? We just happened to have some unsavory guests; what does that have to do with our Poison Bar?"

"If you put it that way, I doubt the people above would agree."

Despite his fawning tone, any discerning eye could see exactly what he was up to!

He clearly had no respect for the people in front of him.

Did he think he could act recklessly just because he had backing?

In the past, Long Anyou might have turned a blind eye, but now...

The situation was vastly different!

Because today's matter involved Lin Heng!

"Hehe... you think just because you have backers, we're powerless against you?"

"I'm here today to tell you that the Poison Bar is being shut down! Effective immediately!"

"No matter who shows up today, even if it's the Heavenly King himself, they're going in for a thorough investigation!"

Hmm!?

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone in the Poison Bar was stunned.

From his tone, it seemed Long Anyou was dead set on making things difficult for them.

This...

Everyone's expressions soured slightly upon hearing this.

Manager Wang, the general manager of the Poison Bar, also looked a bit stiff.

This guy...

He really was... refusing the easy way and choosing the hard way!

Thus, Manager Wang stopped playing along. He chuckled, his eyes narrowing.

"Director Long, what is the meaning of this?"

"Just because there's an issue with the guests here, you're going to target our Poison Bar?"

One moment he was being polite...

And the next!

Manager Wang's eyes widened.

He roared in front of everyone.

"Director Long, I don't know who gave you the nerve!"

*Hiss...!*

Many people gasped.

Many of those being held down stared at Manager Wang in shock, while a flicker of hope ignited within them.

They had long heard of the Poison Bar's illustrious reputation.

They heard their boss dabbled in both the underworld and the legitimate world, having been entrenched in the Dragon Capital for ten years!

He was a true local tyrant!

Even the high-ranking officials in the Dragon Capital couldn't touch them!

Moreover, the roots of their backing were so complex and deep that the scale of their vested interests was beyond imagination.

Even the Longan Bureau might not be able to uproot this Poison Bar!

Now, seeing this dramatic scene, they were even more convinced of the Poison Bar's power!

Consequently, they all began to act arrogantly.

"Hehe... I advise you to release us immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid what you'll face today won't just be a matter of compensation..."

"Exactly! Offending the people of the Poison Bar—even if you're from the Longan Bureau, you can't do anything to us!"

"..."

They were all acting incredibly lawless and arrogant.

Some who were high on drugs even began to get physical with the officers.

Manager Wang snorted, tilting his head back with a condescending air.

His nose was high in the air!

If he wasn't mistaken, their backers would soon negotiate, and someone would appear to order Long Anyou to back off.

And then, all would be right with the world again.

However...

Long Anyou merely gave a slight smile at the sight.

"I'm afraid you don't know..."

"The person who called me here is none other than the owner of your Poison Bar... As for the reason, I think you can guess."

"W-what do you mean?"

Manager Wang's previously smug and arrogant expression vanished. His eyes narrowed, and his voice grew heavy.

As the general manager of the Poison Bar, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the internal shifts.

And now... Manager Wang hadn't been able to contact Xu Yinlong for a long time, and he had no idea what had happened...

At first, Manager Wang thought Xu Yinlong was busy with business... After all, such things weren't unusual for them, but normally, business wouldn't take this long...
