38: Chapter 38 The Dragon's Might Resounds, the Trial of the Century Shocks the Globe

The Dragon Kingdom's operational efficiency was extremely high. After receiving the heads of the Four Great Families and the mountain of ironclad evidence handed over by Zhang Cheng, a long-brewing thunderous operation was rapidly launched.

First, through diplomatic channels, the Dragon Kingdom issued a strongly worded note with sufficient evidence to the central government of Myanmar.

Faced with the ironclad evidence and the firm determination shown by the Dragon Kingdom, Naypyidaw was thrown into a highly passive position.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, the central government of Myanmar had to "agree" for the Dragon Kingdom to "assist in the investigation" of the major cases involving the victimization of a large number of Dragon Kingdom citizens, and "tacitly accepted" the Dragon Kingdom's judicial jurisdiction over Bai Suocheng and the others. This was, in reality, a helpless acquiescence.

Immediately after, a special escort team composed of elite agents from the Dragon Kingdom's Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of State Security, traveling by a special plane under tight security, landed directly at the Kokang airport, which was already under the control of the Death God Legion.

When Bai Suocheng, Liu Guoxi, Wei Chaoren, Ming Xuechang, and over a dozen other core members of the Four Great Families, wearing heavy shackles and handcuffs, were escorted off an armored vehicle by Dragon Kingdom special police and exposed to the barrage of cameras from countless media outlets, the entirety of Kokang, and even the whole world watching the event through news lenses, witnessed this historic moment.

These local despots, who once commanded the wind and rain and acted with impunity in Kokang, were now ashen-faced, their eyes darting about, some even with weak legs, needing the support of special police to walk. It formed a stark contrast to the arrogance and cruelty recorded in the secret files.

"Scum! Trash!"

"Execute them! Avenge our fallen compatriots!"

Dragon Kingdom netizens watching the live broadcast online were filled with righteous indignation, and bullet comments and posts instantly flooded all major platforms.

The escort process went exceptionally smoothly, with no one daring to intervene. Soldiers of the Death God Legion stood guard in the surrounding area, watching everything with cold eyes, ensuring the absolute safety of the handover process.

The special plane roared into the sky, carrying these deeply sinful prisoners and trucks full of evidence, flying toward the Dragon Kingdom, flying toward the legal judgment awaiting them.

Several days later, the Special Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court of the Dragon Kingdom held a public trial for Bai Suocheng and the others, who were suspected of over a dozen serious crimes, including intentional homicide, fraud, kidnapping, human trafficking, illegal organ trading, and leading an organized crime syndicate.

The trial process was partially broadcast through official channels. When those blood-stained ledgers, those heinous crimes, those shocking photographs, and those secret transaction records were presented in court, the entire nation was shocked, and the world was in an uproar!

Especially when those rescued victims appeared in court to testify, accusing them of the inhuman torture they had suffered, it moved countless viewers to tears and ignited their fury.

The evidence was ironclad and irrefutable!

In the end, the Special Tribunal delivered a solemn verdict: the main criminals, including Bai Suocheng, Liu Guoxi, Wei Chaoren, and Ming Xuechang, were sentenced to death, deprived of political rights for life, and had all their personal assets confiscated for multiple crimes. Other accomplices were also sentenced to heavy penalties, including life imprisonment and fixed-term imprisonment.

Upon the announcement of the verdict, the Dragon Kingdom was filled with jubilation; it was truly gratifying! This was a victory for justice and the most powerful deterrent to all criminals who dare to infringe upon the rights and interests of Dragon Kingdom citizens!

Meanwhile, at the Dawn Base in Northern Myanmar, Zhang Cheng, Li Lanzhi, and others also watched the sentencing process via the live broadcast.

"It's over." Li Lanzhi let out a long sigh of relief, her eyes filled with tears and a sense of relief. She had seen those hellish scenes with her own eyes and knew deeply how just these verdicts were.

"Over?" Zhang Cheng shook his head, looking deeply at Bai Suocheng and the others being led away by bailiffs on the screen. "This is just the beginning. We have settled accounts with a few ringleaders, but the soil that breeds evil still remains, and the hidden hands behind the scenes are still there. Myawaddy, Tachileik... there are still too many places that need us to clean up."

He turned around and looked out the window at the town, where lights were gradually turning on and signs of life were returning.

"The Dragon Kingdom has already cleared the moral and legal obstacles for us, demonstrating their determination and power. Next, it is our turn to fulfill the promise of 'cooperation' and thoroughly cleanse the filth from this land!"
