Chapter 19: Tazhai, the Drug Village, Emerges! Viewers Sense the Anti-Drug Operation!

This little plot twist…

It really pulls on the emotions!

In just a few short parallel sentences, it showcases Lin Yaodong’s ability to manipulate, deceive, and blur the truth with such finesse!

Damn it!

Chen Sicheng muttered under his breath again!

…………

[Eventually, under Lin Yaodong’s psychological attack, Lin Zonghui compromised!

After agreeing to three conditions, he allowed Lin Yaodong to move the drug production base to Tazhai!

From then on, the three branches of Tazhai reached a consensus on drug manufacturing!

Lin Yaodong’s plan was set into motion!

Soon, the three family heads secretly began the production process.

At first, Lin Yaodong didn’t allow the entire village to be involved in drug production. He understood the principle of the ‘herd effect.’

After making a few close relatives wealthy, the other villagers began to inquire about what business they were involved in that was so profitable.

Once the villagers’ curiosity reached a certain level, Lin Yaodong gradually began to involve more villagers in the drug production.

At the same time, Lin Yaodong strengthened his control over Tazhai! He improved the clan rules,

using strict rules to tame the villagers of Tazhai.

Especially when it came to drug production, he set some absolute hard requirements.

The three most crucial rules were.

No private production or selling of drugs! Everything had to be produced according to the orders received by the village!

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Strict quality control over the drugs! Ensure the purity meets standards and satisfies the customers! If the purity isn’t up to par, don’t take even a gram!

No Tazhai drugs allowed in the domestic market! Drugs from Tazhai were for export only, not for domestic sale!].

………………

Seeing these rules, the live chat went wild.

[Haha, Uncle Dong’s principles are so strict!].

[If you didn’t pay close attention, you’d think Uncle Dong was running a Fortune 500 company.].

[Even drug dealers are so strict about quality control! Entrepreneurs in the chat, why aren’t you learning from this?!].

[Why does this seem so oddly humorous? He’s clearly a major drug lord, but why does he sound so serious? Officer, please don’t trace my IP, I swear I support anti-drug operations!].

[That last line—’for export only, not for domestic sale’—is legendary! Uncle Dong, the ‘conscientious’ drug lord!].

[The person above is dangerous! A drug lord is still a drug lord—catch them and they deserve to be shot!].

[I’m just curious at this point—how is this story supposed to have a positive message?].

[This is getting more twisted by the minute! It’s beyond redemption!].

………………

The judges were also getting headaches from reading this.

Sigh, this plot…

If there’s no twist soon,

even a divine being couldn’t save Lu Chen.

[So, a drug village that shocked the world was born!

A village of 20,000 people, each family with its own pot to cook, Tazhai officially became a drug production base with full control over manufacturing and trafficking!

And the business kept growing, the shipment volume increased, and the drugs were sold overseas!

Lin Yaodong also fulfilled his promise. He turned Tazhai from a pitiful village into a completely transformed place. The village not only had a new appearance, but every family built a new house. There were now schools with outstanding education, including elementary, middle, and high schools!

Every month, the village gave pension money to all seniors over sixty! Tazhai became a true ‘hotcake,’ a rich and famous village in the region!

Lin Yaodong did exactly what he promised Lin Zonghui! His prestige in the village reached unprecedented heights. Tazhai became synonymous with prosperity in Dongshan City!

At the same time, Lin Yaodong didn’t just manage Tazhai, he was also managing himself! After the smuggling incident, Lin Yaodong enjoyed the great benefits brought by his protective umbrella!

That’s why after returning, he’s been secretly building new connections! His old setup was too small, now Lin Yaodong is aiming for something bigger!

After all, smuggling might just land him in jail, but drug production could cost him his life… Lu Chen wrote long paragraphs in one breath, then paused to stretch his arms and took a short break.].

…………

[Playing big? Uncle Dong, calm down! You’re a drug lord—please know your place!].

[Looks like the last time he escaped, Uncle Dong’s obsession with his protection umbrella became even stronger!].

[Exactly! The more money you spend, the more you earn, and it’s safer too!].

[Is Uncle Dong targeting someone big in the city this time?!].

[I really hope they make a domestic “Breaking Bad” with Uncle Dong as the protagonist! Too bad our country doesn’t have that kind of soil!].

[Are you crazy? If such a drama actually aired, the entertainment industry would go wild!].

[That’s why I said it’s a shame!].

[A shame? You clearly don’t know how horrible things are for anti-drug cops!].

[Guys, I just had a thought! Could this show become an anti-drug drama later on?!].

[Anti-drug?].

[Wow, you just reminded me! That’s right! If this turns into an anti-drug story, the whole theme would suddenly become positive!].

[That makes sense!].

[Definitely, absolutely, this analysis is right! The only reasonable direction for the story is an anti-drug theme!].

[Oh no… do we have enough time? There’s just a bit over two hours left!].

[It depends on Lu Chen’s skill now!].

As the plot advanced, many sharp-eyed viewers clearly realized the upcoming development…

If the story were to show positive energy, there was no other way but to turn towards an anti-drug direction!

…………

In the judges’ room, when Shu Ping and the others saw these comments, they weren’t too surprised. In fact, by the time Lin Yaodong reached this point, they had already guessed…

Lin Yaodong had become the biggest villain in the story!

Even Yan Geling had already figured out that Lu Chen was most likely going to take the anti-crime route!

But!

The same point still stood!

If this story was based on Lin Yaodong as the main character and told from his perspective, it would still be a failure.

Domestic regulations don’t allow shows or films that glorify crime or black-market themes.

The production team wouldn’t agree to a story like this advancing. So, Yan Geling, Shu Ping, Liu Heping, they were all waiting for a plot twist, but not the anti-drug twist!

They were waiting for a shift in the protagonist’s setup and perspective!

Would Lu Chen stick to Lin Yaodong as the main character, or would he introduce a new, more positive fake protagonist?

If it was the latter, then there was no doubt…

the story would have to pivot towards a more positive narrative! But with so little time left, even if Lu Chen could come up with a new positive direction, could he merge both storylines and create a cohesive, complete narrative?

After all, by that point, there would be three storylines!

One with Tazhai, one with the police, and one with the struggle between Lin Yaodong and the police! If it was truly an anti-drug story, Then the final part, the conflict between Lin Yaodong and the police, would be the heart of the plot!

But…

It’s so difficult!

Really, so difficult!

Completing all of this in such a short time…

Not just the viewers, but even the judges themselves felt their scalps tingle thinking about it!

This is practically an impossible task!

…………

What choice will Lu Chen make?

And how exactly will he write this?
