Chapter 358 Chapter 355 Improvement

Exploiting conflicts within gangs to further divide and attack them does sound like a good idea. Except for the gang members, no one has a good impression of the gang. If they can find the place where the gang stores their funds and items, they can even make a small fortune. Therefore, the two sisters, who are "always short of money", are very supportive of Ge Gongdao's proposal.

However, Zhuang Xuteng put forward a different opinion. He pointed out an important issue ignored by the other three: "It is good to crack down on gangs. How to crack down on them can be planned in detail later, but why should we crack down on them? We are planning to use the power of the four of us to eradicate them." Cemetery gang, or just fighting for a better business environment for implant care shops?”

The other three people understood what Zhuang Xuteng meant as soon as they heard it. They didn't have the bad habit of overestimating their capabilities, so they said: "It must be for the latter, for our store. If it's a little bigger, it's for the few people around. neighborhood.”

"Yes, we must first clarify the goal, and then we can make plans around the goal. Now we have a small plate and cannot withstand the tossing, so we must not think about where to do it, waste or misuse our strength." Zhuang Xuteng said: "First There are conflicts within the Cemetery Gang, and secondly, PCPD still has the possibility to fight against the Cemetery Gang. These are the starting points for how to start from here and serve our goals. This is what we need to think clearly at the moment. of."

"It makes sense." Ge Gongdao touched the back of his head and said: "The current information is not detailed enough and needs to be dug deeper. If we can figure out what kind of specific conflicts there are between who and who, we can make a plan. Eh? Naike, what are you laughing at?”

"My good Taoist brother, you are right, but such intelligence gathering is a bit beyond our ability and budget. Moreover, particularly precise attacks can easily arouse the opponent's alert." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "I I’ll give you a simple solution: Find out if the gang leader in our area is someone who wants to expand outwards. If so, then create trouble for the surrounding gangs and give him a reason to expand and defend him in this area. There will be problems that we can take advantage of. If he doesn't like to expand, we will deal with him and stab him to attract other people in the gang to bite him."

"It's really much easier when you say it this way." Ge Gongdao smiled and patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, this kind of personality thing is easier to find out, and it's much easier than searching where they keep their money. I'll look for information on this."

"You must pay attention to your own safety... Do you want me to go? My body and appearance are relatively featureless."

"I know a lot of people, and Otter taught me some slang and some ways to safely buy and sell information." Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me and wait for my news!"

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then turned to look at the sisters. "You two also have a mission. The environment around the implant maintenance shop is not as good as we expected. If we take action, it will be difficult not to expose something, which will affect the function of this place as a retreat and recuperation point. I don't know if you Will there be intelligence deception? But we have to find a way to disguise and protect this place to be prepared!"

Nightingale and Yanque nodded, looked at each other, smiled, and said, "We do have ideas in this regard, but all camouflage and protection come with costs. We don't want to pay for it alone. It's best if the four of us can share it equally."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing it equally." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Brother Dao, and after seeing him nodding, he said: "That's it, the four of us will share it equally. But don't spend money arbitrarily, we are very likely to There is no work to do.”

Nightingale and Rock Bird didn't know the news yet, so they asked why. So Zhuang Xuteng briefly explained the fact that Lucy was currently reintegrating her powers. Of course, he concealed the part about "Lucy's abilities are stretched thin".

"It seems that some of the mercenaries need to find other jobs..." Nightingale patted her chest and said to her sister, "If we didn't join this team, I'm afraid the two of us would have to find other jobs."

"I don't think so." Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "I have been in this business for so many years. There are mercenaries everywhere who can fight, but there are only a few people who can go to the front line to control intelligence like you two. Tens of millions. Don’t think you’re not good enough, and don’t believe what others say about you. It’s all mental abuse. No one in our team can do this. Remember this!”

"Remember, thank you Brother Dao!" Yanque stuck out his tongue, looking very relaxed.

So in the following days, Ge Gongdao used his channels to collect more information, while Zhuang Xuteng asked Morgana to inquire about the situation of the PCPD here.

If a store became a base for attacking gangs before it even opened, it would be too unprofessional, so Doyle quickly attracted the first batch of official customers. He found his old comrades in arms and visited them. Not only did he have a good chat with them, he also introduced them to the implant care shop. When they heard that this store was called "Veteran's Home", his comrades couldn't help but burst into tears. Not to mention that they all have more or less problems with implant side effects, even if there are no problems at all, because of the name, they will come to support them no matter what.

The original name of this "Veteran's Home" was given by Doyle. He was a veteran himself, and this was his last home. He really didn't expect that he would accidentally attract his old comrades to become the first customers, nor did he expect that the market would actually open up.

"We really do maintenance here. Not only is it really effective, but the price is also very affordable. They don't sell weird things, especially no blue powder..."

The first wave of word-of-mouth for the implant maintenance store was good reviews, which spread among Doyle's veteran comrades. Since the advertisements of the implant maintenance store have been overwhelming recently, everyone in Peicheng actually knows that there is such a business, but they don't know where to start. At this time, the real good reviews spread by word of mouth can often play a decisive guiding role.

Once this group of relatively silent old men start to promote a store, they will have a high persuasiveness among their group. When the old man and the old lady tell their children at home, the name of the Veteran's Home will leave an impression in their minds.

In the next few days, there were not only repeat customers, but also occasional visitors who came here because of the reputation. They all received careful care from the Veteran's Home. It happened that Zhuang Xuteng stayed in the store without any commissioned tasks. Once there was a complicated situation that he didn't know how to handle before, he would come to ask him for advice, and he knew everything, not only telling them what to do, but also explaining why they should do so.

Although the maintenance shop does not have the ability to treat, it can at least help people who come here get rid of pain and obstacles and continue to live in a better state. Even if it is just a temporary solution, being able to do the job well is already a success. Besides, the Veterans' Home does not charge fees beyond its own services. Those who have come here once did not say that this place is bad. Most of them will come again and become repeat customers. After about two weeks, the Veterans' Home was basically able to achieve that there were always one or two customers in the store, and it was no longer deserted and empty. In this way, passers-by will also take a curious look and remember the name of this maintenance shop in their hearts.

The problem that everyone was most worried about was finally solved, and the business was alive! The store has a high success rate in converting new customers into repeat customers, which is the best sign. Implant maintenance is a long-term job, and it is best to develop a regular habit, so that the cost of each maintenance can be reduced. Doyle's business idea is like this. It is more sustainable to form a loyal repeat customer base than to pit one by one.

Seeing the situation improve, Zhuang Xuteng and his shareholders were naturally very happy, but they were also worried that the business would attract harassment from gangs after it got better. Ge Gongdao investigated for a while and found out some new information. The leader of the Cemetery Gang who directly "ruled" them, "Hanged Man" Carlos, was a very ambitious guy. He had someone above him to protect him, and he was always very bold when he took action. Such a person, as long as he was given an opportunity, it would be difficult for him not to "play his part".

The next thing was simple. Everyone split into two groups. One group went to find the weaknesses of nearby gangs, and the other group had to find out where Carlos's weakness was. With these two pieces of information, everyone could formulate an action plan to cause chaos within the Cemetery Gang.

Just when they were looking for something to do, Lucy called them and asked them to go as soon as possible. It was an urgent task.

Zhuang Xuteng asked and confirmed that it was not a middleman war, and Lucy's safety was not threatened, so he was not so anxious. He and everyone else prepared the equipment that might be used in the operation, and then went to find Lucy in the state of a formal mission, so that there would be no need to waste time turning back to get the equipment.

The white beast armored vehicle was driven by Ge Gongdao, with Nightingale and Rock Sparrow sitting in the car, and a motorcycle was installed in the back compartment. Zhuang Xuteng drove the armored Weasel himself. They came to Lucy's music restaurant and saw that everything was normal here. There were laughter and soothing music in the restaurant. They knew that even if it was urgent this time, it was not a very dangerous situation.

"An action team had an accident while performing a commissioned mission." After seeing them, Lucy said straight to the point: "I need you to find their location, understand their situation, and rescue them."

Mercenary rescue mission? This is really rare.

Unless they are partners in the same team, such as Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao, there is only interest binding between mercenaries, and there is no comradeship. All mercenaries or mercenary teams must face the commissioned tasks themselves, earn the money for the tasks, and bear the risks of the tasks. Even if they die in the mission, it is their own fate.

The middleman will provide support to help the mercenaries complete the final work of the mission, including destroying the bodies and selling the stolen goods. Support is not rescue. If the mercenaries are in trouble, the middleman will generally change the nature of the final work to "clear the connection and sever the relationship". When a mercenary group is in trouble, they usually ask for help themselves, and let someone they are familiar with and trustworthy come to save them. There are very few mercenary rescue missions initiated by middlemen.

"Who to save? Our people?" asked Ge Gongdao.

Lucy shook her head and said, "Another middleman's mercenary team, seven people, all elites. Their target is here, outside the city, an old house next to Highway 6, which is believed to be the rookie training base of the Cemetery Gang. They received a commission to blow it up. Seven people started the operation, and then they disappeared."

Ge Gongdao shook his head and said, "This doesn't make sense! A team of seven people suddenly disappeared, the operation should be terminated immediately, and there is no reason to send more people there. We only have four people, two intelligence officers, two thugs, and I am a part-time driver. Are we going to rescue seven people?"

"Don't worry, listen to me." Lucy reassured Ge Gong and continued. "I had exactly the same idea as you at the beginning, but my judgment must be based on caution and not on imagination or impulsiveness, so I still asked people to conduct an investigation. The investigation found that the seven people were still alive, but in very poor condition. They were This small house next to the old house was originally used as a residence for servants.”

"The house was not guarded or even locked. It seemed that the people from the Cemetery Gang in the old house threw them there and left them alone. My intelligence officer obtained the surveillance footage there. The seven people were disarmed and had Only single clothes, judging from the scars, he had been in a fight before. "

"They were probably discovered by the Cemetery Gang and then became prisoners without beating them, but there is currently no clue as to why they were thrown into that two-story hut. Judging from the surveillance footage, these seven people were in a bad mental state and behaved in a confused manner. Confused and delirious, it’s like using a lot of blue crystal products. Why the Cemetery Gang didn’t kill them is also a mystery.”

Lucy tapped the table with her fingers and said: "Now that they have found their location and they are still alive, for every person rescued, the team will receive a reward of 350,000 euros, with a guarantee of 250,000 euros. What do you think of this mission? How about it?"

It is said that money moves people's hearts, and after a little calculation, you will know that if all seven people are rescued, the income of Zhuang Xuteng's team will be 2.7 million euros, and each of the four people can get 675,000 euros. From this perspective, this is indeed a good business, but is it so simple?

Zhuang Xuteng immediately asked Lu Xi: "Are there any previous images in the surveillance system, such as how the Seven were caught and how they were taken to that cabin?"

Lucy shook her head and said: "That surveillance system only records. There are eighty-seven cameras on the outside of the old house, forty-six inside, and eight in the servant's cabin. They found thirty people and divided them into three shifts. Stay in the control room and watch the screen to understand what's going on around you. The sirens are at their fingertips. It may be because there are too many images, but they only watch them and don't record them. "

"The lives of the seven people are not in danger for the time being, right?"

"If you ask if there is any obvious trauma or disease, there is indeed no. Broken ribs, broken nose, as long as the wounds are not fatal, we will not talk about this type of thing. What is more difficult now is their mental state and the use of drugs. The impact cannot be determined accurately from the surveillance footage. They may be safe all the time, or they may die in the next second. If you have seen someone overdose, you should understand what I mean.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He met this kind of person in the Hope Clinic. One second he was still conscious and came to ask for help, but the next second he suddenly died and fell straight down, completely unable to be saved.

"Sister Lucy, do you think this commission is acceptable?" Zhuang Xuteng asked directly.

Lucy nodded and said: "In addition to the current good intelligence support and the right price, the elite team is the most valued by the middlemen. Once it is done, it will be beneficial to you and me. I think we should take it."
