The Tyrant Billionaire

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Press Conference

"A few days ago, you learned that the North Shore Gang was planning a large scale drug transaction. In response to such a serious crime, the Los Angeles Police Department immediately organized an arrest operation. During the operation, the police faced unprecedented resistance.

The police, along with HD Security, engaged in a deadly battle with the gangsters and eventually busted a massive drug deal, killing a large number of resisting criminals."

"Can we really say that?" Chief Ed asked, astonished.

"Why not? You are the police Chief. Who knows the truth better than you? Besides, the police and HD Security did indeed deploy a significant number of personnel tonight to engage in a gunfight with the criminals. Who can deny that this is the truth?"

If they followed Henry's narrative, tonight's events could be completely covered up, and Ed would become a heroic police Chief who busted a major case and eliminated a gang, making a significant contribution.

"But what about the drugs? Where will we get them?" Ed asked.

"Don't worry, we've got that prepared for you," Henry said with a smile.

Ed became even more excited.

"If we put it this way, the police department will not only be free of blame but will also be credited. But will people believe it?" Ed asked.

"Whether they believe it or not depends on what you say. Gather the reporters and hold a press conference to announce tonight's results. Make sure everyone is on the same page and doesn't report recklessly. Tell the reporters that this is the truth of tonight's events, and any false reports will be subject to accountability by the Los Angeles Police Department."

Ed nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, we can't let them write whatever they want. We must have a unified story. As long as public opinion is on our side, the public won't doubt it."

When Ed got out of the car, his previously worried face was now filled with excitement.

If this worked out, it would be a huge achievement.

As for the truth, it didn't matter at all.

Upon returning, Director Ed immediately organized the police to set up checkpoints at various intersections, ensuring that reporters couldn't roam around freely. He instructed them to come to the police station for a press conference.

Bill's gang attacked the North Shore Gang's properties and encountered sporadic resistance, which was quickly subdued.

The main force of the North Shore Gang had been drawn away by Jaime Weiss for tonight's action, leaving a few behind to guard their territory. Bill's gang launched a large scale attack with five to ten times the number of men, quickly taking over these properties.

They searched for all the valuable goods.

The North Shore Gang was involved in drug trafficking.

They found a considerable amount of drugs in the North Shore Gang's territory, about 40 to 50 kilograms. Bill ordered his men to load the drugs and a large cache of weapons into a truck and deliver them directly to Chief Ed.

The members of the North Shore Gang who had attacked the Austrians Gang's properties faced the well equipped and highly capable HD Security team. Some resisted initially but couldn't hold out for long.

Some were eliminated, while others surrendered. The North Shore Gang's operation was completely dismantled.

That night, Many Los Angeles residents were awakened by the intense gunfire. Even in the early hours, there were still many vehicles speeding down the streets, and the sound of urgent police sirens could be heard.

Everyone guessed that something significant had happened in Los Angeles.

Some adventurous reporters got up, grabbed their cameras, and went out, hoping to cover a big story for the morning headlines.

Two reporters drove out and found the streets full of police checkpoints. Every car passing through was inspected.

The reporters drove up and asked, "Officer, we're reporters from the Los Angeles Times. Can you tell us what's happening?"

"If you're a reporter, don't ask me. I don't know the specifics. All reporters should go to the police station. Our director will hold a press conference, and everything will be made clear then."

Upon hearing that the police station was holding a press conference, the reporters immediately drove over.

Similar scenes occurred in many places. All reporters were directed to the police station to attend the press conference.

At 3 a.m. The police station's large conference room was already filled with thirty to forty reporters from over a dozen newspapers. A high pile of items covered with a tarp was placed in the center of the podium.

Chief Ed, dressed neatly, entered the hall with a smile on his face. As soon as he appeared, the reporters began bombarding him with questions.

"Chief, what exactly happened tonight? The gunfire was intense. Did a war break out in Los Angeles?"

"Eyewitnesses said many people died. Is that true?"

"Some say tonight's events involve several major gangs in Los Angeles. Is that true?"

Chief Ed's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hands to quiet the reporters, and once the noise subsided, he slowly began to speak:

"Dear brave reporters, I know you are all concerned about what happened tonight. Now, let me inform you of the events, and by the end, you will understand. Tonight operation was initiated by the police, and the target was a gang organization entrenched in Los Angeles, the North Shore Gang."

The police daring to go after the North Shore Gang was a big surprise to everyone.

"On my first day as Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, I made a commitment to fight crime and uphold the city's safety and order. The North Shore Gang has committed numerous heinous crimes over the years. I secretly vowed to eradicate them."

"Later, under my careful planning, we infiltrated the North Shore Gang with two undercover agents and gradually gathered information on them. Recently, we learned they were planning a large scale drug deal. I was determined to capture these criminals who harm the public."

"After careful deployment, we joined forces with the HD Security Patrol Teams to launch an operation against the North Shore Gang. During the operation, we encountered fierce resistance from gang members, and many residents heard fierce gunfire. Yes, that was the sound of us exchanging fire with the North Shore Gang."
