How confident are we in Chapter 2946?

Jiang Yunpeng didn't know why Qin Feng was suddenly asking this, but he knew that Qin Feng would never ask these questions for no reason.

Jiang Yunpeng looked at Qin Feng, his mind racing, trying to figure out why Qin Feng would ask that question. Only by understanding why Qin Feng asked him that question could he know how to answer it.

But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out why Qin Feng would ask this question, so he could only nod honestly: "Yes, last time I had people use instruments and personnel to conduct undercover investigations to roughly understand the structure and design of the entire underground casino. I can't say I have a 100% grasp of it, but it's definitely close to the truth."

"If I were to ask you to lead a team to raid the Yang family's casino right now, how confident would you be?" Qin Feng continued.

Jiang Yunpeng looked up at Qin Feng again, somewhat surprised.

Jiang Yunpeng wondered to himself if Qin Feng really wanted him to raid the Yang family's casino. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized it was impossible and too crazy.

"What do you mean by 'taken down'? To what extent?" Jiang Yunpeng asked tentatively, observing Qin Feng's expression.

"You've been a policeman for so many years, don't you understand what 'tackling' means? You've worked for so many years and haven't cracked down on any casinos?" Qin Feng asked.

"We've been hit."

"That's okay."

"But...Mayor, this is different from before...those were just small casinos before..."

"Whether it's a small casino or a large casino, they are all illegal and criminal activities, and they must be strictly cracked down on according to the law. Now tell me, how confident are you in taking down this casino?" Qin Feng asked again.

"Mayor...you...you're not really going to shut down this casino, are you?" Jiang Yunpeng asked cautiously.

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Yunpeng with a smile.

Seeing Qin Feng's smile, Jiang Yunpeng felt relieved. In his opinion, Qin Feng was just asking a routine question.

“I’m not 100% sure. Ever since you sent me to secretly investigate the casino, I’ve known that I would have to take action against it sooner or later. So I’ve been making contingency plans to crack down on the Yang family’s casino, and these plans have been constantly being improved based on the information we’ve gathered…” Jiang Yunpeng reported.

Qin Feng listened to Jiang Yunpeng's report while smoking, but he interrupted halfway through.

"You're the police chief, what you do is your business, you don't need to report to me. All I want is results. Just tell me directly, if I asked you to take down Yang's casino right now, could you act at any time? Could you launch a surprise attack? Could you guarantee that no one would be missed? Or can you just give me accurate data, what is the success rate?" Qin Feng's smile vanished, and he asked seriously.

“I’ve been preparing to strike the Yang family all along, so I not only have contingency plans, but I’ve also been training continuously. I’m fully capable of acting at any time, but I can’t launch a surprise attack, nor can I ensure that no one is missed,” Jiang Yunpeng said after thinking for a moment.

"why?"

“The Yang family casino is very large and has a complex layout. It is also equipped with multiple traps and secret passages. I cannot guarantee that we have fully grasped all the secret passages, so there is no way to guarantee that none of them will be missed.”

"Secondly, the Yang family has very tight security around this casino. There are not only a lot of electronic surveillance cameras around and inside, but also a lot of personnel patrolling, making a surprise attack impossible."

"Another crucial point, Mayor, taking action against the Yang family's casino requires a large number of personnel. Moreover, according to our information, the core members of the Yang family are armed, which means that the operation against the Yang family's casino will be an armed operation. Therefore, there are even higher requirements for the quality and quantity of the personnel participating in the operation."

“This must be a large-scale operation involving a wide range of people. Given the Yang family’s infiltration of Shazhou, it’s impossible to keep this operation completely secret or to be completely free of moles. So… Mayor, it’s simply impossible to achieve your goal of a surprise attack that leaves no one out, unless… we ask the armed police to take action,” Jiang Yunpeng replied.

"Don't offer suggestions that are meaningless," Qin Feng said calmly.

Jiang Yunpeng was somewhat embarrassed. He realized that he had just said something stupid. How could Mayor Qin Feng mobilize the armed police?

Qin Feng puffed on his cigarette without saying a word, his brows furrowed deeply.

"If we don't require a surprise attack and that no one is overlooked, but only that the Yang family's casino be completely dismantled, the main criminals be apprehended, and solid evidence be obtained, how confident are you of your ability to guarantee success?" Qin Feng lowered his expectations.

“If that’s all you’re asking for, I’m about 70 to 80 percent sure,” Jiang Yunpeng said.

"Only 70% or 80%?" Qin Feng was shocked and dissatisfied.

“Yes, if it weren’t for your purge of Shao Hongli’s faction and your support for the cleanup and reorganization of the public security system over the past year, the probability might not even reach 30%. Mayor, the Yang family has been operating in Shazhou for many years and is deeply rooted. There are some difficulties that we simply cannot imagine,” Jiang Yunpeng said sincerely.

Qin Feng sighed, agreeing with Jiang Yunpeng's words. The Yang family had been entrenched in Shazhou for so many years, and their infiltration into all aspects and hidden strength were far more complex than imagined.

"Even with a 70-80% chance, it's worth taking the gamble," Qin Feng said, flicking ash from his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Huh? Take a gamble?" Jiang Yunpeng was surprised, even a little horrified. What did Qin Feng mean by taking a gamble at this time? Even if Jiang Yunpeng was slow to understand, he could roughly guess.

"Dare to gamble with me?" Qin Feng asked Jiang Yunpeng with a smile.

"What...what do you mean?" Jiang Yunpeng's eyes widened.

"It means exactly what you're thinking right now," Qin Feng continued with a smile.

"Are we really going to raid the Yang family's casino?" Jiang Yunpeng asked incredulously.

"What? Scared?" Qin Feng smiled as he looked at Jiang Yunpeng.

“Mayor, from the day you appointed me as the director of the Shazhou Public Security Bureau, I knew what I was going to face. It was only a matter of time before we went to war with the Yang family. So from the day I took over the Shazhou Public Security Bureau, I have been preparing for this day and have not dared to relax for a moment.”

“From the fact that you went to such great lengths to help the families of our police comrades leave Shazhou and move to Zhongjiang, I knew you were already preparing to eliminate the Yang family. So I had long anticipated this day, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.”

"When I was in Pingshun City, I dared to follow you and fight against the Yang family and Chang Yunbing, let alone now? Besides, my wife and children have already left Shazhou, so I have even less to worry about. Not only am I not afraid, but my brothers under my command are not afraid either. Those who dared to flinch have already been transferred away by me. Those who remain now are comrades who are absolutely courageous and absolutely trustworthy."

Jiang Yunpeng's voice was exceptionally calm and steady.
