Chapter 1849 - 1850: Protection Money

By that time, I guess my restaurant won't be able to stay open; I've figured it out, Moergawa is just not suitable for running a restaurant business."

The shop owner's words caught the full attention of Ling Zhenfei and Mao Xuejing. A businessman from Moergawa saying such things, how could it not grab their attention?

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Boss, why would you say that? We're quite curious. Moergawa is stable now; isn't it supposed to be a great place for investment?"

The shop owner sneered, "That's what I thought when I first opened the restaurant, but even though the country isn't at war anymore, the management is a mess.

There's no proper law and order; if you look around the streets, there're thieves, robbers, and people collecting protection fees, all sorts.

If this continues, Moergawa will become the next crime capital. I used to tolerate it when they collected protection fees once a month.

Business thrives on harmony, but now it's getting worse. You don't know because Moergawa is experiencing development opportunities; many people have smuggled here.

The one who used to collect protection fees from me, Black Old Three, is an illegal immigrant. He came with a bunch of underlings and quickly formed a considerable force.

Black Old Three is a black ghost, he's ruthless in fights, and we're all scared of him, so we pay the protection fees. You feel uneasy if you don't pay."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned; he never imagined there would be such a group picking Moergawa to commit crimes.

If Moergawa really turns into a crime city, Ling Zhenfei can't absolve himself from responsibility.

Ling Zhenfei glanced at Mao Xuejing, whose expression was understandably unpleasant; this was her country to govern, how could such things happen?

Mao Xuejing asked the shop owner, "Are there many like Black Old Three in Moergawa?"

The shop owner said, "Plenty, I hear Moergawa has signed some treaty with Huaxia, so many people see Moergawa as a place to develop, and every night, boats full of people smuggle in."

Ling Zhenfei's eyes widened; who would have thought smuggling into Moergawa has become an industry?

Naturally, anger surged within Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Boss, you can run your business here in peace. I assure you, those people won't come back to cause trouble, and soon the state will take action.

The action hasn't started yet because things just settled down, but it's coming soon, and Moergawa will certainly develop well."

The shop owner looked at Ling Zhenfei and Mao Xuejing. He could tell they were not ordinary people, but he didn't know who they were.

Hearing what Ling Zhenfei said, he wasn't sure if he should believe it first.

At this point, Mao Xuejing said, "Just wait for the news; there will be good news soon."

After that, Ling Zhenfei and Mao Xuejing walked out.

When they first arrived, they were chatting and laughing, but who would have thought they'd uncover such a serious issue?

Ling Zhenfei asked Mao Xuejing, "Is it the same on Feixue Island?"

Mao Xuejing said, "I don't know; I only concern myself with high-level matters and haven't paid much attention to these lower-level issues."

Mao Xuejing's words made sense. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it's truly unrealistic for her to manage trivial matters.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I definitely won't let Moergawa become a crime city like Crime Likigao. It's time to make some changes."

Mao Xuejing asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, we need a thorough rectification, but before that, I want to verify what the shop owner said."

"What are you planning to do?" Mao Xuejing asked.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Didn't he say boats smuggle people in every night? Let's wait and see if there really are smuggling boats every day."

Mao Xuejing said, "I'll gather some people then; I can't stand it anymore. If boats come every night and those departments still don't notice, what more can be said?"

"Indeed, if they were enemies, who knows how many weapons and soldiers have already been transported to Moergawa."

The two discussed, and Mao Xuejing went to find the relevant departments, while Ling Zhenfei gathered information on where the smugglers would land.

With an island encircled, there are countless potential landing spots, making it hard to pinpoint without clarity.

The restaurant is just like that, full of mixed news, so the information here is also the most plentiful.

The restaurant owner inadvertently heard a few critical pieces of evidence, so Ling Zhenfei easily found out where the smugglers would land.

Previously, you'd hear about sneaking into America or smuggling into Britain, but those were developed countries, with benefits for crossing over.

But now, with Moergawa, just because it established a comprehensive relationship with Huaxia, these people have set their sights on Moergawa.

It seems Huaxia is truly powerful, so powerful that it's feared by many, so powerful that a slight association makes it unattainable for others.

At night, the coastline was deserted, but on a strip of black beach, there were people now.

The so-called black beach isn't suitable for a beach; it's full of black reefs, not good for swimming, so few people come here.

But now, several people were lying in ambush.

These people included Ling Zhenfei, Mao Xuejing, and others, some brought along by Mao Xuejing.

There were customs officers, police officers, and personnel from the naval and defense sectors.

Mao Xuejing's special status made it easy to gather these people.

But these people still didn't know what happened; anyway, with Mao Xuejing's high status, they didn't dare say much.

Mao Xuejing instructed them to wait patiently, and they complied.

The time dragged on to midnight, and suddenly someone whispered, "They're here."

The people had been lying on the rocks sleeping, and upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Ling Zhenfei also glanced over, and sure enough, a ship appeared on the distant ocean waves.

This ship didn't look big, but it was entirely painted black. At night, if you didn't watch closely, you'd hardly know there was a large ship on the sea.

Evidently, this ship was carefully modified to hide from sight.

"What kind of ship is this?" a police officer asked the customs officer.

The customs officer said, "How would I know what kind of ship this is?"

The police officer said, "You're from customs, and this ship is obviously for smuggling."

The customs officer replied, "That's something you should ask the navy; such a big ship coming to our island, how could you not know?"

The navy officer looked equally wronged, "How would we know? This ship isn't big or small, not an enemy warship, how could we know?"
