Zhao Fu initially had some reservations, but Han Yang's sharp eyes spotted them. After a few minor punishments, he immediately became honest and wholeheartedly followed Han Yang.

Of course, Han Yang didn't treat him unfairly either.

Han Yang could tell that Zhao Fu was genuinely trying to advise him.

He's from the bottom rung of the gangs after all, his vision is too short. I originally thought I could train him, but now it seems he still needs more experience.

Dismissing Zhao Fu casually, Han Yang continued to inspect the rest of Fuxing Company.

At this moment, on Fuxing First Street, Zhang Dazhu was patrolling with two teammates behind him.

Zhang Dazhu was now a prominent figure within the Revival Group.

Being promoted to squad leader was already enough to make people envious. Unexpectedly, Han Yang later formed the Pistol Squad, and Zhang Dazhu subsequently became the squad leader of the Pistol Squad, which made people even more envious.

Who didn't know that the Pistol Squad was the department that Han Yang, President Han, valued the most? Now that he was the captain of the Pistol Squad, his future prospects were naturally limitless.

Zhang Dazhu was also an honest person and believed in one principle: everything he had now was given by President Han, so of course, he had to follow President Han wholeheartedly.

Zhang Dazhu completed all of Han Yang's requests without any discount. If he was told to lead the team on patrol for two hours every day, not a single minute or second could be less.

Now, the time for the shift change was approaching. Zhang Dazhu had already decided to finish work after this round of patrolling.

But when he reached the intersection of Fuxing First Street, he suddenly saw several people who looked like thugs going in and out of a civilian house.

This immediately aroused his vigilance.

"They're from the Iron Wolf Gang."

One of his subordinates recognized those people: "Should we go take a look?"

"No need."

Zhang Dazhu stopped him: "President Han's order is that as long as they abide by the company's regulations, anyone can come. Just be careful, keep an eye on them, and only intervene if they violate the rules."

Just as he was about to leave, he didn't expect that those few members of the Iron Wolf Gang actually carried a plaque out of the civilian house. On it were four large characters, clearly reading "Wealth Casino".

The few people busied themselves, hanging the plaque on the door of the civilian house.

"Casino?"

Zhang Dazhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward.

"Who allowed you to open a casino here? Take it down immediately."

The leading thug glanced at Zhang Dazhu and said with a grin, "Oh, it's Captain Zhang. Well, nobody said you can't open a casino here, right? Even the government doesn't care, why are you, Captain Zhang, being so nosy?"

"This is the territory of the Revival Group! Company regulations state that within the area of Fuxing First to Third Street, no casinos are allowed!"

"Oh, what a big tone."

The thug said in a sarcastic tone, "Anyone who doesn't know would think your Revival Group is the Earth Government."

"Exactly, your company is stupid, leaving such a large piece of fat untouched, and you won't even let us eat it?"

"We're all in the same business, why be so ungracious?"

"Don't worry, we won't short you on the protection fee."

A group of thugs chattered away. Zhang Dazhu was not good with words and didn't know what to say, but he said firmly, "No casinos are allowed here, leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action!"

"I'm opening it today, what are you going to do? Our Iron Wolf Gang isn't easily scared!"

Zhang Dazhu's expression turned cold: "Go!"

He had a pistol hidden in his chest, but he didn't take it out.

Having to use a gun to deal with these petty thugs would be too much of a waste of the training he had received during this time.

The three of them went forward together, and with a series of crackling sounds, they knocked down seven or eight thugs in a few minutes, then directly took down the plaque and chopped it into wooden pieces with a machete.

"Go back and tell your Iron Wolf Gang boss that Fuxing Street is President Han's territory!"

"You just wait!"

Several thugs cried out, supporting each other as they left.

Looking at the backs of the thugs leaving, Zhang Dazhu frowned slightly.

Something's not right. I should report it to President Han quickly.

Zhang Dazhu thought silently and said decisively, "You guys stay here and guard."

Revival Base. Upon receiving Zhang Dazhu's call, Han Yang was slightly stunned.

If Zhou Da'an's matter had only made him suspicious before, then the Iron Wolf Gang inexplicably wanting to open a casino on Fuxing Street at this moment undoubtedly proved something.

Frankly, the fifty thousand yuan Zhou Da'an wanted for a month was not a lot. Han Yang didn't care about this amount of money.

But this wasn't about money.

He keenly felt that whether it was Zhou Da'an or the Iron Wolf Gang, they were just on the surface.

This was a test of him.

If he showed weakness, he was afraid that it wouldn't be long before the entire Revival Group would be torn to shreds by the wolves surging from all directions.

"Sigh."

Looking at the CPU design document in front of him, Han Yang sighed helplessly, "Why can't they just let me study in peace? The optimized and improved CPU architecture is almost finalized, and I'm already swamped with design work. Now they're adding to the trouble. I'm not bothering anyone, we're keeping to ourselves, so why do they keep provoking me?"

Although he was annoyed, Han Yang knew that this kind of thing was inevitable.

An innocent man is guilty only for possessing a treasure. Everyone knew that his Revival Group was becoming more and more prosperous, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie, a slice of the meat.

His phone rang again. Han Yang looked at it; it was Shen the Butcher calling.

"I heard about what happened. Xiao Yang, what are you planning to do?"

Shen the Butcher's voice was full of gravity.

"I'll handle it the way it should be handled."

Shen the Butcher's tone became heavier, "Xiao Yang, you can't take this lightly. Someone is hiding behind the scenes trying to deal with you. Zhou Da'an and the Iron Wolf Gang are just pawns, just testing you. If this isn't handled well, our company closing down would be the least of our worries.

Right now, we need to find a way to figure out who is behind this as soon as possible. I suggest starting with the Iron Wolf Gang. Zhou Da'an is a government official after all, and we have to be cautious."

Shen the Butcher's thinking was sound.

First, determine who is trying to deal with them, and then figure out how to solve the problem. This was the most reasonable and safest approach.

But...

Han Yang gently shook his head.

"Brother Shen, I'll handle this matter myself."

Hanging up the phone, Han Yang smiled softly.

"Solving one behind-the-scenes manipulator will only lead to new ones. It's treating the symptoms, not the root cause. We still need to solve the problem fundamentally."

What was the fundamental problem facing the Revival Group?

No backing, no connections.

Armed drones could only deter for a while, but not forever. As the Revival Group grew stronger, someone would always emerge to take a risk and test whether he truly had a strong background.

Before, he didn't have a Pistol Squad, and his personnel weren't sufficiently trained, so he couldn't find a backer. Now, the Pistol Squad was initially formed, and he could start doing some things.

He called Zhang Dazhu over and asked directly, "There's something I need you to do. This is very dangerous, and people might die. Do you dare?"
