"I heard Dirk Carter is getting ready to make a move over there, is this intel accurate?"

Rasco Shaw asked.

There was a moment of silence on the phone before he said, "It's true. They were just having a meeting to lay out the plan, at the steel factory in Longridge District. Most people have already started moving that way."

"Okay, I understand, keep radio silence."

With that, Rasco Shaw hung up the phone directly.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled faintly.

He picked up the phone from the table, pressed a button, and said, "Barry Ford, come in."

In a moment.

Barry Ford pushed the door open and came in, asking, "Leader, what are your orders?"

Rasco Shaw said, "Go notify the municipal public security bureau and have the officers from the provincial public security department come to me. Also, bring the armed police mobile squadron over, but don't mention anything specific. Remember to keep it confidential."

"Yes, I understand."

After Barry Ford left.

Rasco Shaw's expression grew grim.

He murmured, "Dirk Carter, Dirk Carter, getting yourself mixed up with organized crime, your life is as good as over."

At eight in the evening.

In an abandoned village less than a kilometer away from the old steel factory.

The command center had already been set up.

The TV crew was also in place.

For today's arrest operation, Rasco Shaw planned to make a big deal out of it. After all, eradicating two big organized crime groups entrenched in Serenity State was an unprecedented achievement.

So.

Rasco Shaw was also planning to participate personally in today's operation.

The secretary handed him a bulletproof vest, but he declined it in front of the reporters.

At 8:15.

The walkie-talkie sounded.

"Report number one, report number one, both sides have started fighting, numbers are as high as two or three hundred people."

This was intel from a surveillance post.

Another surveillance post said, "Report number one, report number one, there are injuries at the scene, visually confirmed..."

Both surveillance posts saw the brawl break out.

The smile on Rasco Shaw's lips was no longer concealed.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and righteously declared, "I announce, Operation Thunder officially begins!"

With the order given.

Police cars set off from all directions.

The vacant land around the old steel factory was illuminated by flashing police lights.

Car doors opened.

Fully armed patrol officers, criminal police, armed police, riot police, and special police were all deployed, swiftly surrounding the steel factory walls.

At this time.

The special car carrying Rasco Shaw had arrived.

Under the live broadcast cameras, Rasco Shaw struck a majestic pose as he got out of the car, raised his hand, and chopped down hard.

This was the signal to attack.

Just a loud bang was heard.

A special armed police vehicle crashed through the large iron gate.

Other police forces quickly scaled the walls, occupying every corner of the old steel factory.

To be honest, the people inside were really cornered at this point.

"Don't move, don't move, all of you, hands on your heads, squat down..."

A authoritative police shout came from inside.

The situation inside seemed handled.

Rasco Shaw adjusted his collar and said to the reporters, "Let's go in."

With a group following him.

Rasco Shaw walked into the factory with great bravado.

In a large open space in front, hundreds of people squatted with their hands on their heads, one side wearing black T-shirts, the other white T-shirts.

By this time they were all squatting with their hands on their heads.

Various weapons lay scattered across the ground.

There were spears, machetes, and spiked clubs.

Some even had makeshift guns under them.

Moreover.

You could see patches of blood on the ground.

Some had head injuries, others had arm injuries...

In short, the scene was quite brutal.

"It's simply undermining the country and causing chaos!"

Rasco Shaw sternly reprimanded.

Just then.

A person stood up in the middle of the crowd.

He asked Rasco Shaw, "Secretary Shaw, what do you mean by this?"

Rasco Shaw looked closely and felt pleased, this person was none other than Cosimo Griffin.

He solemnly stated, "What do I mean? This is a crackdown on organized crime. Do you realize how much harm your scum of the earth have caused to society? Arrest him!"

Just as he finished speaking.

Two special police officers stepped forward.

They handcuffed Cosimo Griffin.

As he scanned the crowd.

He also saw Caleb Ford squatting not far away.

His heart filled with a cold sneer.

He pointed in his direction and shouted, "That one, arrest him too!"

Two other officers lifted Caleb Ford from the ground and handcuffed him immediately.

The two main culprits were caught.

The tension in his heart finally settled completely.

Just then.

A voice shouted, "Secretary Shaw, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Rasco Shaw looked over, happily surprised, it was none other than Dirk Carter.

"Comrade Dirk Carter, what are you doing here as a Deputy County Chief of Kenton County?"

Rasco Shaw asked sternly.

Dirk Carter grinned and said, "Secretary Shaw, it's a misunderstanding, you're mistaken, why don't you ask the journalist to turn off the cameras, and I'll explain to you?"

Turn off the cameras?

Impossible.

This was meant to show off strength, how could they turn them off?

Besides, this was a live broadcast. He intended to make the fight at the scene into hard evidence, so no one could argue with it.

"Comrade Dirk Carter, I'm deeply disappointed in you. As a servant of the people, you actually colluded with organized crime. Someone, arrest him too!"

With the order given.

Dirk Carter was also handcuffed.

"No, Secretary Shaw, you're mistaken, we didn't break the law,"

Dirk Carter shouted.

Rasco Shaw sneered and retorted, "Didn't break the law? Do you think I'm blind? Caught right at the scene, and you still want to argue?"

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

He walked up to Rasco Shaw.

He whispered, "Secretary Shaw, I told you to turn off the cameras, don't regret not doing it later."

"Are you threatening me? Do I look like someone afraid of threats?"

Rasco Shaw righteously rebuked loudly.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Alright, since that's the case, don't blame me. You want to discuss this on camera, so I ask Secretary Shaw, who informed you we were fighting here?"

"Police intelligence, none of your concern,"

Rasco Shaw said.

Dirk Carter snorted, "Well, then the police in Serenity State and Ronan City are a joke in front of the entire province."

"What are you saying? How dare you speak so recklessly?"

Rasco Shaw warned.

"I'm not speaking recklessly, it's the label Secretary Shaw has put on them. We weren't fighting at all, yet you brought such a huge force here. This is not a crackdown on crime; this is attacking political rivals. Secretary Shaw, you're really going all out to become the governor,"

Dirk Carter's words were becoming more outrageous.

Rasco Shaw, becoming a bit flustered, pointed at him and angrily ordered, "Take him away!"

When two officers held him by the shoulders.

A voice shouted from the crowd, "Let's see who dares to move!"

Everyone was taken aback.

In the darkness.

A few people slowly emerged.

They reached a place in the light.

Rasco Shaw shivered.

All the police present were suddenly a bit confused.

The person standing with arms crossed in the bright spot was none other than Charleston Thorne, a Serenity State Committee member, Standing Committee member, and Executive Vice Governor.

Behind Charleston Thorne were a group of people including the head of the State Department of Culture and Tourism, the director of the State Broadcasting Bureau, and leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Why were these people here?

Rasco Shaw hadn't even opened his mouth.

Charleston Thorne snorted and said, "Secretary Shaw, you really have a big show of power bringing so many people to surround this place. And you call it cracking down on organized crime? Are you suggesting that I and the people behind me are all part of organized crime?"
