Xiao Xue sinks deeper and deeper into the quagmire of the dark world, and her evil deeds with Zhao Hu and his criminal gang become more and more rampant, like a raging storm that sweeps through the dark corners of the city, bringing endless panic and chaos to society.
Their robberies and thefts have become more and more frequent and daring, no longer limited to small targets, but will focus on banks, jewelry stores and other large places. Each crime is carefully planned, Xiao Xue with the underground boxing world practiced in the body and courage, in the crime scene like nobody's business, repeatedly successful. These cases not only caused huge property losses, but also seriously threatened the lives of citizens. People walking along the streets and lanes are constantly on edge for fear of becoming the next victim. The originally bustling commercial streets have become cold and quiet, businesses have closed down early, and the laughter of the past has been replaced by fear and anxiety.
Meanwhile, Xiong Yufang did not stop her actions in prison. Although she began to reflect on her own life, her past network of relationships and influence still played a role in the dark. Through some hidden channels, she continued to keep in touch with the dark forces in the outside world, trying to manipulate the situation even in prison. She secretly passed on Xiao Xue's situation in the underground boxing world and the details of her cooperation with Zhao Hu to other criminal gangs, hoping to use it to cause even more chaos in order to achieve her ulterior motives.
After these criminal gangs learned of Xiao Xue's exploits, some of them saw her as a role model and began to imitate her criminal tactics, making waves in all corners of the city. They formed loose alliances, exchanging criminal experiences and sharing information about their crimes, making criminal activities more difficult to prevent. The law and order situation in the city deteriorated drastically, with thefts, robberies and fights occurring all the time, and the police were overwhelmed. Citizens live in fear, afraid to go out alone at night, windows closed tightly, lock after lock added to their homes, but still unable to feel safe.
The news media rushed to cover these escalating crimes, the headlines were filled with blood and violence, and the whole community was in a state of panic. The faces of grieving victims were shown on TV screens, newspaper headlines described the gruesome conditions at the crime scenes in big, bold letters, and the Internet was full of citizens' concerns and condemnations of social security. People reminded each other to stay safe on social media, and various posts about crime prevention were frantically reposted, but none of this could stop the panic from spreading.
The police were under tremendous pressure like never before, and the Commissioner called an emergency meeting to discuss coping strategies. The conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere, the police officers' faces were gloomy, well aware of the seriousness of the situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, with the recent sharp rise in crime and the citizens on edge, we must take action to restore social order as soon as possible!" The Director's voice was low and firm, his eyes revealing determination.
"But Director, these criminal gangs act stealthily and disappear quickly after committing crimes, it's hard for us to track them down." An experienced criminal police officer said with a frown.
"Moreover, they seem to be under some sort of unified command, and their criminal methods are becoming more and more cunning, our previous methods of detection have little effect." Another police officer added.
The police began to intensify their detection efforts, putting more officers on patrol in the city, especially in those crime-prone areas. Plainclothes officers hid in crowds and closely watched every move around them, hoping to spot signs of criminal gangs. At the same time, the technical department has stepped up its analysis of surveillance videos, trying to find clues from the massive amount of image data.
However, the criminal gangs seemed to have sensed the police's actions, and they became more cautious, committing crimes at more random times and locations, making the police's investigation extremely difficult. Despite the police's great efforts, the results achieved were minimal and the panic in the community continued to grow.
Xiao Xue was not without waves in her heart during this process. She would occasionally think of her former family life in the dead of night, remembering the terrified eyes of her husband and children. But the flames of hatred would soon consume these faint remnants of conscience and guilt. She consoled herself that it was all for the ultimate revenge, and she was willing to do whatever it took as long as she could make Xiong Yufang pay. However, she did not realize that she had become one of the sources of this social disaster, and her actions not only hurt her own family, but also put countless innocent citizens in pain.
With the social order in disarray, the city's economy was also severely affected. The tourism industry has been hit hard, with tourists canceling their trips, and business in hotels, restaurants, attractions and other related industries is dismal. Business activities have also come to a standstill, and investors have lost confidence in the city, withdrawing or postponing their investment plans. Many businesses are at risk of closing down, unemployment has risen sharply and people's lives have become more difficult.
In these turbulent times, some people at the bottom of the social ladder are also forced to get involved in criminal activities in order to survive. They are compelled or threatened by criminal gangs to take part in petty crimes such as theft and robbery, further expanding the criminal community
