Enforcer's Handbook

Lu Xiang's love strategy is the same as her crime-fighting style, which is straight to the point.

Facing her frontal attack, Song Lan was really unable to resist.

Seeing that Song Lan was hesitating and speechless, Lu Xiang smiled. She just teased him. With the current complicated situation in District 17, they did not have extra energy to take care of their children.

"A politician is coming to our place this afternoon. He is very interested in the person who produced the "Law Enforcer's Manual" and wants to meet you."

"politician?"

"Said to be a strong contender to be the next mayor."

"You came to us to canvass votes."

Song Lan was completely uninterested. He had to admire the politicians' sense of smell. It was the day when the mayor's election was in full swing. The influence of the "Law Enforcement Manual" would undoubtedly bring them huge voter support.

He could imagine the power-for-money transactions that might happen next.

"Can I be absent because of a stomachache?"

"cannot."

Lu Xiang said, "If nothing else happens, he may be the next mayor. It wouldn't be a bad thing to deal with him earlier, but..."

"but?"

"If your stomach hurts, I can rub it for you."

"It's okay, no need, I'm suddenly fine again."

Song Lan coughed slightly. Since the big leaders had spoken, he could only nod.

The meeting time was agreed at one o'clock in the afternoon in the conference room of the office building, and the other party visited in person.

Since the Foster family withdrew from District 17, their work has obviously become much busier. Since the release of the first issue of the "Enforcer's Manual", more and more companies have contacted them, but the vast majority of them still adhere to the Following the past thinking, I hope to buy them with money.

Lu Xiang directly classified these companies into low-quality partners and objects that need to be investigated in the future.

Using the time a little while ago, Song Lan reset the way Nami greeted Lu Xiang after meeting her, and obtained the name of the culprit through coercion and inducement.

Unfortunately, there is a problem with Comrade Valian's ideological consciousness.

In order for her to use her intelligence in the right direction, Song Lan had to bear the pain and increase her workload.

For fishermen, lunch break is never enough.

He felt that he had done nothing and the time for the meeting had come.

For the sake of the law enforcement department's reputation, Song Lan left the office a quarter of an hour early and prepared coffee and black tea in the meeting room.

Moments later, he met the candidate who had been in the spotlight recently.

With his determined eyes and knife-carved face, I have to say that judging from his appearance alone, this is undoubtedly the kind of appearance that people think is trustworthy.

The man looked to be under forty years old, which was considered quite young for a politician.

"Aureliano, this is my name."

The man stretched out his right hand to Song Lan and said confidently, "You must be Song Lan. I have read the "Law Enforcement Manual" that you are responsible for editing, and I have wanted to meet you for a long time."

"Nice to meet you."

After taking a seat, it was nothing more than some sterile pleasantries.

Generally speaking, it can be described as "I have admired you for a long time, you are very good" and "You are not bad either". This is the so-called scene work.

A politician will usually reveal the purpose of his trip after these fruitless pleasantries.

Aureliano was no exception.

He took a sip of coffee, and when he spoke again, his aura was much sharper than before, "Actually, I came here this time to ask you a question - what do you think of border trade?"

There was a brief silence in the conference room when he asked the question.

This topic was completely different from what Song Lan had imagined. He originally thought that the other party would lead the topic to canvassing votes. After all, for candidates, being able to ascend to the position of mayor is the most important job at the moment.

For this reason, we will do whatever it takes.

Seeing that Lu Xiang and Song Lan didn't answer, Aureliano continued, "After Chai Ke died, the border trade in District 17 came to a standstill. Criminals, big companies... everyone was interested in Chai Ke. The business is very eyeing."

Although Chai Ke is dead, the supply and demand for border trade will not disappear.

And this is why the big families in the core area are eyeing the border cities.

In the past, the power to interpret border trade in the 17th District was firmly in the hands of Chai Ke and the Foster family behind it. Any large companies in the 17th District that needed to conduct border trade had to watch their faces and act.

"You might as well say what you have to say."

Song Lan had a vague feeling that the man in front of him might have more ambitions than just becoming the mayor. Before the election was settled, he had already thought about his plans after taking office.

However, whether this is a blessing or a worry for District 17 has yet to be verified.

"This is the only way to truly get rid of the control of big companies and even the coalition government in District 17. Only those who control the economic lifeline can truly determine the future of this city... Of course, these are just some of my personal opinions. view."

Having said that, there was no hint of humility in Aureliano's tone.

In his opinion, the mayor of Lyon has only achieved half of his goals.

The Foster family was driven out of District 17 with a near-death method, which bought the city a short-term freedom. However, this freedom would not last long. Once the city's economic lifeline fell by the wayside again, Sooner or later, District 17 will change back to what it used to be.

"Therefore, I hope to discuss with you the feasibility of maintaining border trade order."

If you want to keep this economic lifeline in the hands of the government, you need more than one or two new policies. Without armed forces that can defend this lifeline, everything is just empty talk.

Once the reform touches the interests of large companies, they will do everything possible to undermine the establishment of new policies, and the enemies are far more than just the large companies in the 17th District. The criminal forces of the "outside" are also a big problem that must be solved.

And the people who can help him complete these reforms are sitting in this conference room right now.

"I want to know, with the current strength of law enforcement, can this line be preserved? Especially when facing criminal groups from the 'outside', the agreements they signed with the Foster family in the past may have all expired."

And this is the real purpose of Aureliano's visit today.

He wanted to personally confirm whether he could find a truly trustworthy ally before he pushed for reforms.

"There's a popular saying in the Gold Diggers Bar recently - law enforcers are the biggest force in this city."

The fall of four criminal groups fully confirmed this point.

He witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of law enforcement fulfilling their promise to drive large criminal groups out of District 17, which also gave him confidence.

"Fighting crime is our job."

Lu Xiang said, she did not intend to give the other party any clear answer, "Any criminal who harms District 17 is the target of our attack."

Whether they come from the “outside,” big business or government.
