Luo Lie was reluctant to Dong Biao's actions, just because Simon and Celena had lost their daughter, Luo Lie didn't want them to be in danger. However, Mafia's appearance means that the situation that was already chaotic enough further deteriorated. If he could not grasp Mafia's dynamics in time, he would be more passive. Therefore, Luo Lie could not object to Dong Biao's proposal.

However, when the three of them were driving out, they were stopped by foreign police at the gate. "Jack, I'm sorry, you can't leave. You are also the key person in this case. You must stay here and wait for inquiries at any time."

Dong Biao immediately got angry, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up. If Luo Lie hadn't persuaded him in time, Dong Biao would have swung an old punch long ago. "Brother Biao, hold it back, don't forget Brother Bin's instructions."

Dong Biao sighed heavily, let go of his fist, jumped out of the car, and gave the driver's seat to Luo Lie. "Okay, Brother Biao will bear this tone. You two will go, remember, no matter what you see, you hear, you cannot act rashly. You must come back first to discuss with Brother Biao."

Luo Lie nodded and agreed.

The car drove out of the hall and headed towards the city. Father Simon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly sighed and said, "Nuoli, I know that you shouldn't disturb you when you drive, but there is another thing I really can't help but tell you immediately. Nuoli, you don't have to hide anything from me. I can guess that something must have happened to Brother Bin."

Luo Lie put his car speed in full swing, turned his head to look at Father Simon, and said, "How did you guess it?"

Father Simon said: "The day Alice was killed, it was also the day your second and fourth senior sisters got married. After lunch, Tom called me to the hall and asked me about Mafia. He asked me a lot of questions at that time, and I felt that he was preparing to fight Mafia. Today, Mafia suddenly appeared in Kingsoft, and there were so many policemen in your hall. Your expressions were so abnormal again. This made me think that it might be Tom's accident."

Luo Lie slowed down the speed of the car and finally stopped on the side of the road.

Father Simon continued to talk: "Mafia's core business is to open a casino, and you Chinese are the race that likes gambling the most. In the United States, Kingsoft is the city with the largest number of Chinese people, and it has only been caught up by New York in recent years. The gambling industry in New York has been saturated, and it is already very difficult to achieve growth. Therefore, Mafia cannot not aim at Kingsoft, the fat piece of Kingsoft. If they want to gain a foothold in Kingsoft, they must overthrow Anliangtang and Tom."

Luo Lie listened quietly and thought quickly. Father Simon's analysis made sense. There are eight casinos in Kingsoft, five of which belong to Anliangtang, and the remaining three, Anliangtang also holds a considerable stake. It can be said that Kingsoft's gambling industry is completely controlled by Anliangtang. Moreover, the income from these casinos accounts for a small half of Anliangtang's income, reaching a profit level of nearly 2,000 US dollars a day. This is the result of Cao Bin's intentional control. If it is completely relaxed, the income may have to double. Mafia cannot be jealous of such a huge piece of cake. If it just wants to get a share of the pie, it may be resolved by peaceful means, but Mafia will not be willing to only get a share of the pie. They are more accustomed to eating alone.

In other words, if Brother Bin was arrested and An Liangtang was stabbed in the back, it is very likely that Mafia did it. For Luo Lie, there is only one question that needs to be considered at the moment. Is Mafia a coincidence or is it related to Geng Han's plan?

Luo Lie thought about it over and over again, believing that the latter is more likely.

"Simon, thank you for telling me such important news. I must tell you honestly. Yes, something happened to Brother Bin. Just half an hour before you came to Anliangtang, Brother Bin was captured by people from the Taxation Bureau and the Police Department. I think the commander behind the scenes is probably Mafia, so, Simon, you must take me to find Mafia's place as soon as possible. There is an old Chinese saying that only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win every battle. We must fully grasp Mafia's various situations in order to defeat it at the lowest cost." Luo Lie said and rebooted the car.

Father Simon said: "I saw them near St. Ann Square. At that time, they were having breakfast in a fast food restaurant, so I guess their den should be nearby. Noli, as long as we have enough patience, we will definitely find them. The people of Mafia have a commonality in life, that is, they are very lazy. They will not buy food and go back to eat, and will definitely come out to have lunch together."

Luo Lie continued: "And, because of their lazy habits in life, they will definitely be nearby when choosing a lunch location. Therefore, as long as we stay near San Ann Square, we will definitely see Mafia's people again."

Father Simon said: "Yes, Noli and Mafia all come from my hometown of Sicily. People there always have the habit of swaying toes outward in their walking posture. This has been developed since childhood and is difficult to change. So, when you see a group of people walking together in this posture, you can basically conclude that they are Mafia."

Luo Lie stepped on the accelerator, increased the speed, and said, "Very good, Simon, when we arrive at San Ann Square, we can each guard one side."

Luo Lie's judgment was correct. Mafia's arrival in Kingsoft at this moment was indeed related to Geng Han's plan. To put it more accurately, Mafia who came to Kingsoft was actually invited by Geng Han himself.

Half a month ago, Geng Han was under pressure from An Liangtang. He realized that there was a mistake in his plan. Geng Han was definitely not a blind and arrogant person. He would rashly believe that he could fight An Liangtang with his own strength, not to mention that behind them, there was a Bill Lane who was looming. Therefore, Geng Han decided to take the risk and return to the East Coast to seek new forces to mix the muddy waters even more. Only when he was muddy enough could he get the opportunity to turn the situation back.

Mafia is an organization externally, but it is divided into several families. In New York alone, the huge Mafia organization is actually controlled by five major families, and the Gambino family is one of them. The Mafia member Geng Han met is called Sandro Gambino, who is the nephew of the same clan of the Gambino family boss Benito Gambino. Relying on this relationship with his uncle, Sandro has a considerable position in the organization. However, there are many ruthless people in the organization, and Sandro never gets the opportunity to rise in the family. He can only take his subordinates to manage the two casinos in Atlantic City.

Atlantic City is said to be a city, but compared with New York, it is just a slightly larger fishing port town. For Sandero, this location is nominally an important rank of the family, but in fact he is not valued and sent to the frontier. Sandero naturally has a strong sense of dissatisfaction, but the family organization has always been rewarded for merit and never nepotism. Therefore, Sandero, who has never found a chance to rise, can only hide in a small place like Atlantic City in a depressed manner.

Two years ago, Geng Han met Sandero by chance. After a while, the two became good friends who could talk about everything. Of course, the more important thing about this kind of talking about everything was that Sandero was saying that Geng Han was listening. Therefore, Geng Han had long learned about Sandero's unsuccessful depressed mood.

Geng Han took Wu Houdun to New York. Without stopping in New York, he turned to Atlantic City directly.

Sandero did not show surprise at Hans' sudden visit. He hugged Geng Han enthusiastically and poured two glasses of brandy for Geng Han and Wu Houdun. "Hans, my friend, I am really happy to see you, but I think you visited Atlantic City again after two years. You must not have wanted to take a gamble because of itchy hands."

Geng Han took the wine glass, took a sip, and replied, "No, Sandero, you run a casino. If I come to your territory but don't plan to take a gamble, it would be very impolite."

Sandro smiled and said, "Very good, Hans, after drinking this glass of wine, I will take you to the bottom to have a bet."

Geng Han shook his head and said, "Sandro, IMHO, the bet in your casino is too small."

Sandro was slightly stunned and said, "Hans, you have something in your words. We are friends and we appreciate each other. You know my personality. I don't like to bend."

Geng Han nodded and replied, "Of course I know, so next I plan to tell you the real purpose of my visit to you this time. Sandero, I have a batch of goods on Kingsoft and cannot be brought out..."

Sandero waved his hand immediately and said, "Hans, wait a moment, Hans, you know that our demand for opium is limited to serving gamblers. In this regard, I think we cannot achieve a cooperative relationship. You should have known this two years ago. Now I tell you that the situation has not changed."

Geng Han smiled and faced Sandero's rejection and said, "Sandro, you are always like this. Before I could hear me finish my words, I was anxious to make a decision."

Sandro put down his wine glass, picked up a cigar from the ashtray on the table, took a few sips, turned the hidden fire of the cigar into an open flame, and sprayed a sip of smoke. "Hans, I accept your criticism, and now you can patiently explain your plan to me."

Geng Han took another sip of brandy, cleared his throat, and said, "Sandro, I don't know if you heard it clearly just now. My goods were pressed on Kingsoft. Compared to Atlantic City, Kingsoft's casino business will be big. I don't think you don't know. For the entire Gambino family, Kingsoft may be a market that can be put on, but for you, Sandro, I think it is a rare opportunity."

Sandro smoked a cigar and laughed: "Yes, my friend, I have been staring at Kingsoft, but my uncle never spoke. What can I do?"

Geng Han said: "What is even more likely is that when your uncle finally made up his mind, the opportunity fell into the hands of others."

Sandero's face couldn't help but change, which was his biggest worry.

Geng Han continued calmly: "You may think that with your current strength, you can't deal with the Chinese organization Anliangtang, which is the Chinese organization in Kingsoft. In fact, before today, I also thought so. This is the main reason why I did not make today's suggestions to you two years ago when you told me your troubles. But today, Sandero, your opportunity is here!"

Sandero took a sip of the cigar, stared at Geng Han, and said, "Speak, Hans, I'm desperate to know what the opportunity you have brought me."

Geng Han took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, sprayed a cigarette, and said, "You know, I am working for Mr. Bill Lane, but the batch of goods I mentioned no longer belongs to Mr. Bill Lane, Sandro, you should understand what I mean. Mr. Bill Lane is not a person willing to suffer losses. He will definitely send a capable general to Kingsoft to track down the whereabouts of the batch of goods and hope to catch me by the way. But unfortunately, Cao Bin from Anliangtang also wants to get the batch of goods.

We will become the frontal enemies of Mr. Bill Lane. When they fight for both losses, we can stand up and clean up the mess. You get the Kingsoft Casino career that you have been dreaming of for a long time, and I will fly away with my goods. After the matter is done, Bill Lane cannot calculate the account on your head, and An Liangtang no longer has the strength to challenge you. Of course, this is a big bet. The loser will probably pay the most painful price for it, but the winner will definitely reach the top in one step."

Opening a casino does not require much gambling, but if you want to make a name for yourself in Mafia, you must have full gambling. In fact, Sandero inherited the characteristics of the Gambino family and never lacked the courage and courage to gamble. All he lacked is opportunity. Sandero himself could not tell whether it was ten times or twenty times that of Atlantic City. Such a land full of imagination space really aroused Sandero's strong interest.

"Hans, you are right. This is indeed a bet, but you and I are the ones who are in charge. I think the chances of a sacker winning the dealer are much smaller than the chances of losing to the dealer. Therefore, I am willing to join forces with you to play this bet." Sandro raised his glass and came to Geng Han and said, "However, we can't afford to make a mistake in the away game. I must grasp the truth personally in order to reach a contract with you. Hans, I think you will understand me, right?"

Geng Han said that there was nothing false, so Sandero proposed to reach a contract with him before he could reach a contract with him without any pressure. Therefore, he stood up very easily, raised his glass and cried Sandero, and said, "Of course I understand you, Sandero, in fact, we have reached a contract."

Sandero attached great importance to Geng Han's suggestions, but because he had to arrange the casino affairs before he could set off for Jinshan on the west coast, he could not meet Geng Han's request to set off immediately. However, he then selected six elite soldiers from his subordinates to follow Geng Han and return to Jinshan. He promised that at most three days would be delayed and they would meet Geng Han and the others in Jinshan.

With Sandero's promise, Geng Han, who returned to Kingsoft, was no longer worried that the batch of goods would be found by Anliangtang. He even hoped that Cao Bin of Anliangtang would find the batch of goods one day earlier, at least, he would be in front of Bill Lane.

As for the information on Bill Lane, Geng Han didn't dare to inquire, but thought there was no need to waste time in this regard. Two thousand tons of opium were almost all of Bill Lane's belongings. Geng Han believed that Bill Lane would definitely do everything for this, and his strength could completely match An Liangtang, who fought at home. Therefore, for him, the best strategy at the moment was to find a place to hide, watch the excitement freely, and do his duty to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

Geng Han's abacus was indeed good. If things really went on according to his design, the winner would have been him and Sandrew. Unfortunately, he was too confident and did not know that Bill Ryan had fallen ill. A huge and powerful organization that once swears to take revenge and find the goods back, Diane Ryan only asked for help from David Scott, but David Scott's strength could not shake An Liangtang at all.

It would be fine if this omission was just a little bit, but Geng Han made the second omission at the same time.

He thought that no one could recognize the Mafia helper he had found in Kingsoft, so he did not impose much restrictions on the whereabouts of the six subordinates of Sandru who came with him, but only asked them not to carry guns when they went out, and not to provoke trouble. However, he did not expect that there would be a former Mafia member like Father Simon in Anliangtang's camp, which was just so coincidental that Father Simon discovered his whereabouts the day after Geng Han and his friends returned to Kingsoft.

Luo Lie drove to St. Ann Square with Father Simon.

St. Ann Square is located in the southeast corner of the city, named after St. Ann Cathedral, and the seminary where Father Simon works is also nearby. After years of development, St. Ann Square has become a commercial core area in the southeastern region of Jinshan.

Luo Lie parked the car on the side of the road, bought a newspaper at the newsstand, and returned to the car, pretending to be a full-time driver waiting for the boss to return. Father Simon got out of the car and went straight to the church on the other side of the square. The two of them cooperated so much that they could completely view a small square.

It was almost noon, and more and more people were in the square. Just when Luo Lie couldn't help feeling sleepy, a group of men in the distance attracted his attention. It was early autumn, and the scorching sun had already diminished its momentum, but the temperature at noon was still not low. Most young people were wearing short-sleeved shirts, while these men who looked as strong as ox were all wearing long-sleeved shirts. Luo Lie couldn't help but focus on their walking posture.

"It's them!" Father Simon slipped back to the car at some point and gave a positive answer to Luo Lie: "They just had a meal there, and now they should be taking a walk."

Luo Lie counted the number of the men and asked, "Are they only six?"

Father Simon said, "It's hard to say. When I saw them in the morning, there were only four, and by noon, they turned into six. Who knows how many will become by night?"

Luo Lie nodded, started the car, and asked, "Simon, are you still planning to go to the seminary to work? I can send you there."

Father Simon said in surprise: "What does it mean? Don't you plan to continue stalking them to find their hiding den?"

Luo Lie had already driven the car on the road and headed towards the seminary. "I changed my mind, Simon, look at their condition, obviously, like they are not in a hurry, just like they are traveling to Kingsoft. Of course, they cannot be real tourists. I think they should be waiting for people or waiting for opportunities. No matter what they are waiting for, as long as they are not in a hurry, we don't have to worry. Brother Bin has said long ago that this is a patient competition. Whoever can't calm down will be likely to lose this competition."

Father Simon replied, "Well, Noli, you can always persuade me easily. However, I still have to point out your wrong judgment. Tom was captured by people from the tax office and the police station. This must be someone instructing him behind the scenes. What I want to say is that this command is definitely not Mafia. They don't have this brain!"

Luo Lie refused to admit his mistake easily and retorted: "But there is a Hans next to them, Simon. Hans is a Chinese and must have such wisdom."

Father Simon sighed: "You can doubt Hans, but Mafia will never participate. When they crossed the ocean from Sicily to the United States of America, they set rules and would never offend any of the federal government institutions. And in Kingsoft, if you want to defeat Tom, the bribery of a large sum of money obviously cannot achieve the goal. There is only one way to achieve the goal..."

Luo Lie continued: "Vulnerable threat!"

Father Simon said: "Yes, there is only violent threats. This violates Mafia's principle. Any member who touches the principle is equivalent to betraying Mafia."

Father Simon said so confidently that Luo Lie could not believe it, but who would be the one who would not be Mafia? The huge question mark made Luo Lie slow down the speed of the car.

Father Simon did not realize Luo Lie's thoughts, and continued: "In fact, it is very simple to find out the real reason for Tom's arrest..."

Luo Lie subconsciously stepped on the brakes to death, and shook Father Simon's words in half. "Simon, do you have any good solutions?"

Father Simon straightened his golden-wire-edged eyes that were used to disguise his sage, smiled helplessly, and said, "Use the same method to ask from bottom to top. I guess you can learn the truth by asking at most four people."

Luo Lie was stunned. The method provided by Simon was too simple and a little rough, but after careful thinking, it felt very effective. Luo Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart that there are many things in this world that seem very complicated. The deeper you go, the more complicated you feel, but if you take two steps back and deal with it with the simplest way of thinking, you will often get a result that is just like this.

"Thank you, Simon." Luo Lie rebooted the car, had a direction in his heart, and the accelerator under his feet felt much smoother.

After sending Father Simon to the seminary, Luo Lie drove back to the hall. There were still police guarding the hall at the gate of the hall, but looking at his expression, he was very awkward, a little angry, and even helpless, and even a little fear could be seen. Looking in the yard, Dong Biao was walking around carrying his Mauser 98 rifle, and he fired a shot from time to time.

Luo Lie drove into the gate and honked the horn. Dong Biao heard it, put down his spear, stood by the road, waiting for Luo Lie.

"Brother Biao, what are you doing? Shooting birds with a rifle? The bird wasn't blasted by bullets?" Luo Lie stopped the car, jumped down, and joked with Dong Biao.

Dong Biao said angrily: "I feel annoyed when I think of the wooden blades at the door. I shoot a few shots to relieve my boredom, and then scare those things that have grown up with eating shit."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "You are really, why are you angry with them? Are they worthy?"

Dong Biao sighed: "You have not experienced the feeling of losing freedom!"

Luo Lie curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Who said it? I just arrived in Kingsoft more than five years ago, wasn't I arrested? That time, I was locked up in the jail of the Customs Police Station. Isn't it worse than you?"

Dong Biao was dissatisfied and argued: "At that time, you were just a worthless little brat. You would be very awesome if you weren't scared to death. Can you still be wronged or not? If it were Luo Lie, you would have to lift the roof of the Customs Police Station?"

Luo Lie glanced at Dong Biao, knowing that Brother Biao was in a state of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he took the initiative to make a step back and did not continue to push him down. "Brother Biao, I saw those Mafia, a total of six people. After lunch, I still took a walk with interest. I think they were so relaxed, maybe because they didn't plan to take any action in the near future, or waiting for someone or some opportunity, so I didn't follow him further, because I was afraid that they would feel something and changed their hiding den."

"Don't plan to take any action?" Dong Biao said with a suspicion: "They have all brought Brother Bin to the prison, and you still say they have no action? By the way, isn't you the one who doubts them? I believe it, you changed your words!"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I can't analyze it all, right? There will be times when I make mistakes, right?"

Dong Biao showed a long-lost smile and nodded and responded: "This is almost the same!"

Luo Lie said again: "It was Simon who pointed out my misjudgment. Simon also helped us with a trick, which can easily find out the truth behind the arrest of Brother Bin."

Dong Biao disagreed: "He is a former Mafia member and has been away from the front-line battlefield for almost twenty years. What good tricks can he do? Besides, this matter is very simple. Just find one of Carl or Juan, ask who gave them the orders, and then follow the clues and follow the clues to find out what it is."

Luo Lie said in surprise: "You and Simon have thought of it."

Dong Biao was stunned and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Simon, the old boy, is really a sword that never grows old!"

Luo Lie suddenly lowered his face and said, "Brother Biao, since you have thought of a solution, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
To be continued...
