Chapter 357 Deterioration

After predicting that almost 100% of the so-called hotel business would be lost, the second operation team intervened decisively.

The so-called franchise store brand was originally a shell company, mainly for the purpose of making money, and there were many internal loopholes. Under the order of Operation Team 2, the local government department directly raided the company. As expected, many loopholes were discovered, and then the company was directly ordered to cease operations, and the person in charge of the company was directly arrested.

Such a desperate move directly disrupted the deceased's brother's plan to open a restaurant, and it also successfully made him suspicious of his friend.

What you said was so glamorous, but the franchise store brand you chose was so unreliable. If I really believed you and invested money in the first place, wouldn't I have to lose money now? Are you a reliable person?

The family avoided this disaster.

The second action team commanded the special service team to do a lot of similar things in the past half month. I don’t know how many tragedies can be avoided that would cause an ordinary family to lose all their savings, or even be ruined.

At the same time, these "bad lucks" that have been nipped in the bud many times have also aroused the vigilance of the second operation team.

Lu Ming felt that those close to the victims of the curse... were really unlucky.

Think about it, how many tragedies would have occurred among these families if the second operation team had not noticed that something was wrong and intervened decisively?

How could ordinary families, ordinary people, encounter so many hidden misfortunes?

This seems to further prove the authenticity of the spread of the curse.

"Right now, we still know almost nothing about the nature of the so-called curse. There is nothing we can do. To be able to do this and prevent more innocent people from being harmed is what we can do. limit."

Lu Ming thought silently.

"Current data shows that the time limit for the curse to spread seems to be 7 to 12 years. If these families can survive 12 years after the death of the deceased under our secret protection, the impact of the curse may disappear."

If our side's secret protection can really completely eliminate the hidden dangers of these families, then Lu Ming believes that it will be worthwhile for our side to go to war and mobilize a team of thousands of people to provide secret protection.

In this way, even if we are unable to find out the essence of the curse in the end, this ending is still acceptable. After all, those who deserve to be victimized have already been victimized, and new victims will no longer appear.

Facing supernatural forces, it is not easy to achieve this step. The particularity of my job makes it impossible for me to be like a young man full of youth and passion who can go all the way to the dark side. He must investigate everything clearly.

Realistic conditions do not allow it, and no matter how unwilling you are, you can only hold it in.

Of course, it would be better if this case could finally be investigated. As long as there is hope, we will certainly work hard in this direction.

Lu Ming had almost accepted the imperfect ending of "not being able to find out the essence of the curse and only cutting off its subsequent effects." However, the development of things told Lu Ming that this ending was not the worst.

On this day, the special service team that had been responsible for secretly protecting family No. 259 reported the latest development to the second operation team.

Lu Ming also had a certain impression of Family No. 259. It is known that the conditions of this family are pretty good. The family runs some businesses. The eldest son died due to Wang Quan's curse, but the second son is still alive.

Although there are some conflicts in the family, such as the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, these are within normal limits.

But today, a piece of news broke, which completely changed the fate of this family.

"Recently, a hot public opinion was reported on the Internet. The public opinion broke the news that the condiments produced by the XX brand contain excessive additives and are harmful to the human body. After verification, the public opinion broke the news. The company involved has stopped production for rectification, and the person in charge controlled.

Affected by this, condiments on the market have experienced a certain degree of slow sales. Family No. 259 is in the condiment business.

Their family has just purchased a batch of raw materials from a bank loan and added a new production line. They are preparing to take advantage of the recent industry development momentum to expand the scale of the industry. However, because the current market is not optimistic about the prospects of condiments, previous orders have been cancelled, and banks are also interested in providing loans in advance.

If the momentum continues, there is a risk that Family No. 259 will go bankrupt and decades of hard work will come to nothing overnight. "

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming all looked at this report with complicated expressions.

"So, is the quality of the condiments produced by Family No. 259 acceptable?"

He Wei asked a question. Lu Ming shook his head and said: "The factory of this No. 259 family is quite law-abiding and its products are qualified. But this is meaningless. How do ordinary consumers know so many parameters and indicators? In order to avoid risks, consumers Just choose to treat all condiments equally.”

To be precise, family No. 259 was affected and implicated. It was an unforeseen disaster. But no one in the market cares whether you were wronged or not.

Now, the production line has been expanded, raw materials have been hoarded, workers have been recruited, and bank loans have been obtained. As a result, the market trend has changed and the condiments have become unsalable?

It is only those companies whose additives exceed the standard. We are innocent...

But no one cares about that.

"Can't this be bad luck?" He Wei felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "This can be considered... bad luck?"

Lu Ming said: "What should we do? Should we intervene?"

The condiment market will definitely recover. As long as the No. 259 family can survive this period of time and overcome this difficulty, it will definitely be able to develop again in the future.

But... from another perspective, this is a normal business market fluctuation.

In which year were there not hundreds of thousands of companies that suffered unforeseen disasters and went bankrupt? No matter how much money the Operations Team 2 has, it is impossible to manage it, not to mention that this is not the responsibility of the Operations Team 2.

Since you have joined this business game, you should have the awareness that you will end up miserable.

This question made Zhang Dingshan hesitate. Please help, something is against the rules. Don't take action, but the experience of family No. 259 is indeed suspected of causing bad luck due to the spread of the curse.

"What's your opinion?"

Out of instinctive sympathy, He Wei said: "It's better to take action. You can contact the bank and ask the bank to relax some conditions and provide support."

Lu Ming said: "I agree."

Lu Qingliang was a little indifferent: "Okay."

"Okay, then help them get through this difficulty."

Zhang Dingshan picked up the phone. But before the call was dialed, a call came in. Zhang Dingshan answered the call, and after listening to a few words, his expression became solemn.

He put down his phone and looked at a few people.

"No need to support. It's too late."

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "I just received a report from the special service team. In family No. 259, the father of the deceased suffered a cerebral hemorrhage because of the changes in the situation and was too worried. He is currently hospitalized. The doctor's conclusion is that the best outcome is to be a vegetative state. Wake up The possibility is very low.

Also, the younger brother of the deceased, the second son of family No. 259, probably realized that after his father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and fell into coma, he was instigated by his wife and transferred all the working capital of the factory and smuggled it into the factory. All the machines, equipment and raw materials that could be sold were taken away.

At present, the bank is already contacting the court to seal the factory. Workers with unpaid wages also began to gather to try to get their wages back. "

Lu Ming sighed.

This family, this factory, is completely finished. Even if you take action, you won't be able to help him up again.

But it didn't end there. Subsequently, the second operation team received the report again.

After the second son of Family No. 259 transferred the factory assets, under the instigation of his wife, he once again made a decision that shocked Lu Mingdu.

He refused to continue paying the medical bills for his father, who was lying in the ICU with his life or death uncertain.

"The younger brother of the deceased claimed that there was no hope for his father to wake up. Instead of becoming a vegetative state and suffering, it would be better to die cleanly. The family didn't have much money left, and he still had to support his family and children. He was also very sad, but He can't throw all the money he has left into a bottomless pit..."

Lu Ming couldn't judge whether this decision was right or wrong. He just felt that it was a bit impersonal for the deceased brother to be so decisive just after the accident happened. Especially when the mother of the deceased begged the brother of the deceased to save his own father, but was scolded out of the house by the wife of the brother of the deceased, and the brother of the deceased did not stop her, it made him feel that the brother of the deceased was cruel enough.

The situation of family No. 259 is still deteriorating rapidly. The special service team had issued a suicide warning to the deceased's mother a few days ago and made corresponding plans to prevent the deceased's mother from actually dying.

But in the face of a person who is deliberately committing suicide, unless she is completely controlled, it is basically impossible to really stop her behavior by relying on covert protection.

On the way to buy groceries, the mother of the deceased did not know whether she was in a trance or intentionally committing suicide, so she walked directly into the highway. A car had no time to brake and hit him to death. By the time the Secret Service arrived, she had already expired.

Now that even his mother is dead, the deceased's brother has no scruples and directly pulls out his father's oxygen tube. After the hasty cremation, the deceased's brother's family moved out of the city overnight and settled in another city.

In just half a month, a family that was originally in good condition disappeared.

Unlike other families, all the changes in Family No. 259 happened under the close supervision of the Second Action Team. Lu Ming asked himself, he had done almost everything he could and eliminated all potential dangers as much as possible, but the outcome was still the same.

Market trends, sudden illnesses, and people's hearts are really beyond the control of Action Team 2.

"Lift the surveillance on Family No. 259."

Zhang Dingshan made arrangements.

He Wei raised her head and gritted her teeth and said: "Let that wolf-hearted guy escape unscathed? No, I don't agree. I suggest that the evidence of the deceased brother's transfer of property be directly handed over to the Public Security Bureau. Doesn't their family still owe a lot? What about the workers’ wages? Let the deceased’s brother pay compensation.”

During this period, all family members of Family No. 259 were under close surveillance by the special service team. Action Team 2 naturally has relevant evidence in their hands.

"That's fine."

Zhang Dingshan agreed directly.

Lu Ming knew that this time, the deceased brother's wish to be alone was in vain. He will definitely lose his fortune and may go to jail if he doesn't. According to the character of the deceased's brother's wife, divorce from him is almost inevitable.

The family was ruined and the wife and children were separated.

Of course, Lu Ming had no sympathy for the deceased brother, and he also supported this decision. But, he also realized something else.

The younger brother of the deceased was also closely related to the deceased himself. But now it seems that if we don't take action, the deceased's brother will most likely escape this disaster.

Now that we take action, the dead brother will also face an extremely miserable situation.

Could this... be another way of presenting misfortune?

Could it be that we are also the force still hidden in the dark, used to achieve doom?

Lu Ming couldn't think clearly and couldn't make a judgment.

After Family No. 259, similar changes occurred in Family No. 284.

Due to a series of accidents that the Second Action Team was unable to intervene even if they could mobilize resources of this magnitude, Family No. 284 also came to an extremely tragic ending.

All these changes made Lu Ming have to start to wonder, is his own interference and protection really useful?

Could it be that the spread of this curse is really inevitable?

"I still don't believe it."

He Wei gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Choose a few families, bring them directly to the base, restrict their movements, cut off their contact with the outside world, and protect them in all aspects. I don't believe that bad luck will happen again." onto them.”

"You might as well give it a try."

Everyone agreed to He Wei's proposal. So after special screening, the two most qualified families were selected.

These two families are families 546 and 559 respectively.

In both families, the only son in the family was cursed by Wang Quan and died. One thing they have in common is that they died quite far away from now, 11 years and 11 months ago.

Outside of these two families, the rest who had lived so long since the death of the deceased had already met with bad luck. Only these two families are still living normally until now.

According to previous statistics, the time limit of 7 to 12 years means that these two families will be out of the time limit in just one month. In the remaining month, the probability of encountering an accident is the highest.

With the cooperation of the local government, the second operation team directly brought these two families, totaling nine people, to the base in the name of sociological experiment and arranged separate residences.

Under the temptation of money, the two families did not resist and directly agreed to the request of the second operation team.
