When You Try to Be a Good Person, They Point Guns at You

We have to figure out a way ourselves.

"The idea that the Empire wants to attack Lungmen is all a fabrication on his part." Chen Huijie clenched her fist.

"Luo Chen's goal is simple: he wants to use the name of the empire to eliminate all the companies and forces in the Lungmen that oppose him."

Chen Huijie recounted all the intelligence she and Talulah possessed.

The more Wei Yenwu listened, the more his brows furrowed, and his hands under the table clenched into fists.

Luo Chen reported that the Empire Plan to attack Lungmen, and that the Reunion Movement was merely cannon fodder used by the Empire to cut through the outer walls of Lungmen.

Chen Huijie was saying that Luo Chen used the Empire, and that his purpose in attacking Lungmen was to purge Lungmen's enterprises and bureaucrats, replacing all the high-value positions in Lungmen with his own people.

In this way, Lungmen will become fertilizer for the Reunion Movement, continuously nourishing its growth and expansion.

In other words, Luo Chen, the undercover agent, wanted to kill his master.

He not only wanted to use the empire, but also Lungmen; he wanted to use every available force to achieve his own ambitions.

After Chen Huijie finished speaking, Talulah nodded in confirmation of her statement:

"That's right, that's exactly it. Luo Chen originally planned to use Chen Huijie to control the Lungmen Guard Department and help him cleanse Lungmen."

"I had a conflict with him over this matter, and he subsequently imprisoned me. If Huijie hadn't come to rescue me, I might never have seen the sunlight again."

Wei Yenwu slammed his fist on the table in anger and cursed, "* Yan language*, this guy actually has such big ambitions, and we never even noticed before!"

Luo Chen glanced at Wei Yenwu and thought to himself:

"I hadn't thought of that before, but now that I have, I immediately told you, right?"

You can't say I lied to you.

Chen Huijie glanced at Wei Yenwu and cursed inwardly. She had expressed her strong opposition when they were discussing who should be appointed as the undercover agent.

She had said back then that Wei Yenwu's agreement to send Luo Chen as an undercover agent would eventually harm Lungmen.

Doesn't this prove it true?

"I remember it was Swire who suggested that Luo Chen be Swire, and you personally approved it."

Wenyue has a good memory; she not only criticized Wei Yenwu but also dragged Swire into the fray.

Luo Chen also remembered this matter.

At the time, she even vouched for Swire's name, saying that if there were any problems with Luo Chen's mission, Swire would voluntarily resign.

Over the past period, my former boss Swire, has also helped me a lot.

In return, Luo Chen decided to give Swire a break.

Then, Luo Chen looked up and said in a serious tone:

"I propose suspending Swire first. As far as I know, many of Reunion Movement's businesses are conducted jointly with the Swire Family."

"I suspect they have a vested interest. Whether it's to protect Swire or to guard against Luo Chen, this is necessary."

Talulah's suggestion is reasonable.

The issue isn't with Swire; putting Swire hiatus is indeed a way to protect him.

Otherwise, taking action against Lungmen's Reunion Movement would inevitably implicate Swire.

"Okay, I'll suspend Swire this afternoon. Hui Jie will take over all duties of the Lungmen Guard Department."

"Talulah, do you have anything to add?"

Luo Chen continued, "Unifying the power of the Lungmen Guard Department in Hui Jie's hands is only the first step. Next, we need to separate Lungmen's Reunion Movement from the Reunion Movement."

"I remember Huijie once told me that the Lungmen Guard Department had many undercover agents within the Reunion Movement in Lungmen."

"Currently, the top leadership of Lungmen's Reunion Movement is all in the Chernobog mountains, leaving behind mostly mid-level managers, many of whom are our own people."

"This is a perfect opportunity for us to undermine Luo Chen's cause and incorporate these Reunion Movement members into our own ranks."

Chen Huijie added:

"Next, we'll call Lin Yuxia over, and then we'll have unified all of Lungmen's armed forces."

"Good!"

Luo Chen gave Chen Huijie a thumbs up. As expected of Commander Chen, even at a time like this, she didn't forget to collude with her old classmate.

"But doing this carries significant risks in addition to the potential gains."

"Once we take control of the Reunion Movement in Lungmen, the conflict between the Reunion Movement and the companies becomes a conflict between the companies and us."

Chen Huijie highlighted these companies.

Luo Chen's attack on Lungmen was aimed at purging these enterprises, whose goal was to prevent Luo Chen from disrupting Lungmen.

If they were to seize control of the Lungmen Reunion Movement, they would be caught in a pincer movement by Luo Chen and those companies.

If you end up pleasing neither side, that would be a laughing stock.

Don't let a good deed turn into a disaster and end up with nothing but trouble.

Luo Chen was prepared for this.

Whom Heaven wishes to destroy, it first makes mad.

"Leave that to me. Once we take over the Reunion Movement in Lungmen, I will represent the Reunion Movement in negotiations with them."

"Since we're all working towards making Lungmen a better place, what can't we sit down and talk about?"

"Why not allow these companies to use their human resources freely? As long as we can keep them in line, what's wrong with giving them some incentives?"

"Would they really push their luck and show no regard for the Governor's Office or the Lungmen Guard Department?"

"You know, we saved their lives. According to Luo Chen's plan, they were all supposed to die."

"If they had any conscience at all, they shouldn't keep causing us trouble."

"You all agree, right?"

Chapter 242 If you act like a good guy, they'll point guns at you.

Three days later.

It was also the last day of August.

Summer's rainy season has arrived.

In the continuous rainy weather, the residents of Lungmen found that the Lungmen was becoming increasingly oppressive.

From late the night before last until early this morning, the sirens of the Lungmen Guard Department and the roar of cars, mixed with rain, echoed across the sky above Lungmen.

Everyone felt that Lungmen was going through a bloody storm.

It only took a day and a night.

A large number of buildings and assets belonging to the Reunion Movement in the Lower City were seized, and hundreds of members were arrested by the Lungmen Guard Department.

The new order established by the Reunion Movement in the Lower City of Lungmen is on the verge of collapse.

The Gravel at this very moment.

I've been hiding at home for two whole days.

Over the past two months, she has been reading thousands of books in the free library built by the Reunion Movement, becoming completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

However, the Reunion Movement's library was shut down by the Lungmen Guard Department.

Her happy life was shattered.

She couldn't afford the books in the bookstore, Infected weren't allowed into the library in the Upper City.

After the Reunion Movement ended, she returned to her previous impoverished state, unable to afford to study or read books.

The Lungmen Guard Department is completely incompetent!

Gravel clenched her fist slightly; it was the officers from the Lungmen Guard Department who had forced her to sign the loan agreement at exorbitant interest rates.

Now it's the Lungmen Guard Department again that's sealing off the library.

She discovers that half of the disasters around her are caused by the Lungmen Guard Department.

The Lungmen Guard Department is nominally Lungmen's law enforcement agency, but its actions have completely disregarded the feelings of ordinary people like them.

Gravel, who has studied to the junior high school level and read over a thousand books, is a self-taught scholar.

Our understanding of things is no longer limited to two sides.

Although the Reunion Movement is portrayed by the Upper City media as a group of wicked and illegal organizations.

But she discovered that Reunion Movement was an organization that truly fought for helpless Infected like her.

Although the Lungmen Guard Department operates under a righteous banner and claims to be the embodiment of justice, all their actions serve the Governor's Office and the financial groups that have propelled Lungmen to the forefront of the economy.

Well...

But what's the use of knowing all this? I can't do anything about it.

Forget about affecting the Lungmen Guard Department, I can't even solve the usury that beast set.

Speaking of which, where did that beast go? I haven't seen him in ages.

Gravel sighed helplessly and turned to lie back down on the bed.

Just then, the public address system in the Lower City came on.

Good morning, citizens of the Lower City.

"Breaking news! Talulah has been announced as the new leader of the Lungmen Reunion Movement. She will attend the consultation meeting this afternoon in front of the Governor's Office."

Talulah stated that Lungmen should be a free and open city, and the people of the Lower City should not be bound by the various rules of the Reunion Movement; they have the right to freely choose their jobs.

"Talulah said she would do everything in her power to restore Lungmen to its former free and open state, free from forced labor and punishment, where employers would be free to offer the wages they promised."

The broadcasts from the Lower City blared throughout the entire city.

The citizens of Lungmen may not know who Talulah is or where she comes from.

But they all understood one thing: the Reunion Movement had completely changed.

The order, the law, and the jobs they obtained from the Reunion Movement in the Lower City will all vanish.

Everyone will have to return to that environment where people are starving, cold, and where gangs and robbers run rampant.

Immediately, residents of the Lower City, who had close ties with the Reunion Movement, took to the streets to protest the Lungmen Guard Department's crackdown on the Reunion Movement.

The Lungmen Guard Department, which had previously claimed it had no control over the Lower City, has demonstrated unprecedented strength.

Armed police officers from the Lungmen Guard Department cordoned off every block and every square.

All the people who came out to cause trouble were kept in their homes, preventing them from gathering into a larger crowd.

"Talulah gave an interview to Lungmen media before the consultation meeting began."

"In the interview, Talulah harshly criticized the people who took to the streets to riot. She said that the past Reunion Movement had done many wrong things, and some people may have profited from these wrong things, but a mistake is a mistake and it must be corrected."

"Lungmen is a free and open city-state with laws; it doesn't need Reunion Movement to create a set of laws within laws, a city within a city."

"Talulah also said that in the upcoming meetings, she would negotiate with numerous companies from the perspective of the overall situation in Lungmen."

"As long as everyone can work together to promote the development and progress of Lungmen, she is willing to accept the agreement proposed by the companies last month. The Reunion Movement will cooperate with the companies at the current market price and will not unilaterally raise labor costs."

"So as not to dampen the enthusiasm of major companies to invest in Lungmen."

Outside the Governor's Office, in the Consultative Conference Hall.

After listening to Talulah's pre-meeting interview, representatives from various conglomerates gathered together to discuss strategies for the upcoming negotiations.

A representative from a Victoria consortium stated:

"According to our intelligence, the Reunion Movement is now under the control of the Governor's Office, and Talulah is the best proof of that."

Several representatives from the Yan's chamber of commerce also expressed their agreement:

"That's right. Talulah is currently wanted by the Reunion Movement headquarters. The fact that she was elected as the leader of Lungmen proves that the Reunion Movement in Lungmen is no longer under the control of the Reunion Movement."

"So, this negotiation meeting of ours is actually a negotiation with the Governor's Office?"
