Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1070 Tracker

"Weimin, what do you want to see me about?" Lin Dezan was surprised to receive Li Weimin's call. Although the two were classmates, their relationship was just so-so. They only became somewhat familiar with each other because of Wei Shang.

"Dezan, I've run into some trouble! So I wanted to ask you about it. Of course, this was also at the behest of our Deputy Director Zhao!" Li Weimin said with a smile.

"What's wrong with you? Do you think I won't help you when you come to me for a favor, Li Weimin? You have to use Wei Shang to pressure me? What? Am I a disgrace to you as the director?" Lin Dezan said irritably.

“Dezan, look at what you’re saying! I was just afraid you’d misunderstand! This matter is actually related to you too!” Li Weimin said.

"What does this have to do with me? What is it about?" Lin Dezan asked curiously.

"Lin Yaodong is your nephew, isn't he?" Li Weimin asked seriously.

“That’s right, according to the family genealogy, he calls me uncle!” Lin Dezan said seriously as soon as he heard Li Weimin mention Lin Yaodong.

“This Lin Yaodong has very likely become a new drug lord in China. Recently, a new type of drug called ecstasy has appeared in Dongshan and Donggang! Wei Shang and I both suspect that it is produced in China! According to the information provided by Wei Shang, ecstasy has only appeared in Mingzhu for a few years and is still a new thing. Logically speaking, it would take time for it to spread to the mainland, but it has already come in! So we judge that this thing is very likely produced in China!” Li Weimin said.

"You mean Lin Yaodong might have such a factory? What's your evidence?" Lin Dezan asked, his face looking rather grim.

“When Wei Shang was in Mingzhu, he destroyed a small gang. One of the gangs, called Zhongqing Society, had a factory like this! Lin Yaodong worked for Zhongqing Society for a long time back then, and I heard he was in charge of transportation. That’s why we suspect Lin Yaodong!” Li Weimin said.

“Weimin, I don’t know much about this matter, but from what I understand, Lin Yaodong did indeed take some villagers from Tazhai who couldn’t make a living to Mingzhu for a period of time! But they didn’t say what they did specifically!” Lin Dezan said.

"Do you know if these people have returned yet?" Li Weimin asked.

“I don’t know. You know I’m keeping an eye on Wanbei, I haven’t even had time to go home. How would I know if they’ve come back? Weimin, you know that people in our line of work aren’t welcome at home! Don’t forget, family members should keep quiet about each other’s business!” Lin Dezan said helplessly.

"You mean, if we want to know the specifics, we can only ask the people in the family now?" Li Weimin said.

“That’s right. If we can’t get the support of the current family, it won’t matter if you ask, or even if I, a member of the Lin family, ask!” Lin Dezan’s face was extremely ugly.

Given the power of such a clan, let alone Li Weimin, an outsider, even I, a member of the family, would have to put in a lot of effort to find out the details.

"How's it going on your end? Any moves from Wanbei?" Li Weimin asked curiously when he couldn't find out anything.

"It's still the same. As long as Commander Yun doesn't move, Wanbei is still relatively peaceful, but a lot of flour still flows into the mainland every year, and we can't intercept it all! Moreover, a very pure type of ice has appeared in our mainland now! Sigh, the work is getting harder every day!" Lin Dezan sighed.

"Is it about what happened in Sihanoukville?" Li Weimin asked.

“It does seem to be related to Sihanoukville! This high-purity ice first appeared in Sihanoukville!” Lin Dezan asked.

"How did our investigation get involved with your side?" Li Weimin asked.

"I heard this matter seems to be related to Commander Yun's son-in-law! I also want to send someone over to investigate. Unfortunately, our people will be exposed soon after they arrive, it's really strange!" Lin Dezan asked.

“I remember there was a police captain in Sihanoukville who came back from Wanbei, right?” Li Weimin was referring to Lin Qiangfeng.

"He was lucky. He was rescued by the police after being shot at by rifles! Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it back!" Lin Dezan's face was grim.

"Could there be a traitor within the system?" Li Weimin said.

“We’ve had our suspicions, but we’ve investigated this matter and we’re completely clueless! You should know that if there’s an inside agent, he must be of a high rank, and it’s very difficult for someone like that to slip up!” Lin Dezan said.

“Look, how about this? I’ll talk to Wei Shang about this! You might think it won’t be taken seriously, but if Wei Shang speaks up, it could really get to the top! Then we’ll get someone from the ministry to investigate!” Li Weimin said.

"That's all we can do. I know that a small police station chief like me really doesn't have much influence!" Lin Dezan said with a wry smile.

“By the way, since this high-purity ice and ecstasy appeared together, do you think it’s possible that they’re from the same factory?” Li Weimin suddenly thought.

“It’s not impossible. To put it bluntly, the most important raw material for manufacturing these things is something called ephedrine. But this stuff is actually very easy to get. Even with strict regulations, there are always loopholes to exploit! Moreover, there is still a lot of use of ephedrine by the general public in our country. There is simply no way to completely ban it!” Lin Dezan said.

“Sigh, these are troubled times! Alright, I’ll contact Sihanoukville tomorrow. According to what you said, the factory might actually be in Sihanoukville. After all, high-purity ice from Sihanoukville is the most precious!” Li Weimin said.

“If you go to Sihanoukville, you can contact Lin Qiangfeng. He was my former subordinate and is also a junior member of our family. He is of the same generation as Lin Yaodong!” Lin Dezan said.

"Your Lin family really produces talented people!" Li Weimin said.

"I'll take that as a compliment!" Lin Dezan said irritably.

"Of course I'm praising you! Look at you, Lin Qiangfeng, Lin Yaodong! The three of you are about the same age, but your achievements are all quite remarkable!" Li Weimin said.

"Your ability to make veiled insults has really improved! Let me tell you, Li Weimin, you're only as good as me because you follow Wei Shang!" Lin Dezan said irritably.

"Haha, following Wei Shang is a kind of luck, isn't it? Do you think everyone wants to follow Wei Shang? Back then, many of our classmates envied my life!" Li Weimin was not ashamed, but proud.

It's actually quite normal. Getting along with Wei Shang isn't easy. Back in college, Wei Shang even rejected the female students in the school. Li Weimin should be proud to be able to follow Wei Shang.

"You're just being hypocritical after getting a good deal!" Lin Dezan said irritably.
