Chapter 2702 Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Why did we come here?
Du Chengbin hadn't thought about the question, but before entering the supermarket, he still looked around.

Thankfully, there was no one else there.

I always thought that Du Chengbin believed that you had to be the first to do anything, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to catch the hottest food.

Upon entering the supermarket, Du Chengbin pretended to shop, leisurely strolling among the shelves. Most of the supermarket's employees were young people, making it difficult to spot Lin Weiguo among them.

However, he soon spotted a young man in a supermarket uniform in the daily necessities section. The man was looking down, diligently organizing the goods on the shelves.

Although he had never met Lin Weiguo before, he recognized him at a glance; there was always something different about him.

Du Chengbin walked over calmly, picked up a bottle of shampoo, and pretended to ask a question:

"Do you have a larger size of this shampoo?"

Lin Weiguo looked up at Du Chengbin with a polite smile on his face:
"Yes, yes, the large bottles are on the upper shelf..."

Upon hearing the other person's reply, Du Chengbin not only noticed the accent in their tone, but also the phrase "large bottle." This further confirmed his guess. After all, everyone here called it "family pack."

"Okay, thank you."

As Du Chengbin took down the large bottle of shampoo and compared the price and volume, his eyes were actually observing the guy. Now he was 100% sure that this guy was Lin Weiguo.

After being expelled from school, he did not return to his home country but instead became an illegal immigrant.

After confirming the other party's identity, Du Chengbin didn't say anything more, paid the money, and hurriedly left the supermarket.

He walked out of the supermarket, looked around, and saw someone at the public phone booth across the street, so he walked towards the public phone booth at the intersection.

However, Du Chengbin never expected that as he walked toward the phone booth, Wang Jianguo, who was standing inside, had already dialed the immigration bureau's reward hotline for reporting crimes.

"That kid must have discovered something! That guy is definitely hiding something!"

After the call connected, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and immediately and clearly stated the supermarket's address and name.

"...There are illegal immigrants working in this supermarket. They don't have legal status and are probably using fake IDs."

Just as Wang Jianguo hung up the phone, Du Chengbin also dialed the number. The staff member on the other end of the line carefully recorded the information he provided and then told him:
"Sir, thank you for your report. We will send someone to verify it as soon as possible. If the situation is true, after the illegal immigrant is arrested, we will issue you a reward and corresponding points in accordance with regulations. Please keep your phone accessible, and we will contact you in a timely manner."

After hanging up the phone, Du Chengbin couldn't help but whistle excitedly.

He received a 1,000 yuan bonus and also gained permanent residency points, which was a double blessing for him.

He even imagined the scene of the bonus arriving in his account, and imagined that his immigration application would be smoother because of these points, and his steps became lighter.

"If I could run into a few more guys like that, that would be perfect..."

Meanwhile, inside the supermarket, Lin Weiguo was working as usual when two black cars pulled up outside the main entrance. Several men got out of the cars, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying weapons on their waists.

After getting off the bus, the group split into two groups. One group quickly guarded the front door of the supermarket, while the other group went around to the back door. Their actions were coordinated, and they blocked all the exits.

Finally, their gaze fell on Lin Weiguo, no, he is now called Zhang Yongda.

"it's him."

The group immediately headed towards Lin Weiguo's direction. Customers in the supermarket noticed something amiss and stopped in their tracks, watching the scene in surprise; some even quietly backed away.

Are you Lin Weiguo?

Lin Weiguo's lips trembled as he was called by his real name, unable to utter a word, and he could only subconsciously shake his head.

"I, my name is... This is my ID card."

The other party had already spoken when he took out his ID card.

"We are immigration officers. You are suspected of overstaying your visa. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Immigration Bureau!

Lin Weiguo's hands and feet instantly turned ice-cold, and his mind went blank. He wanted to run, but his legs felt as heavy as lead, and he couldn't move.

Why are they here?

As he was being handcuffed, Lin Weiguo finally came to his senses and immediately began to struggle, his voice trembling with tears:

"Why? I didn't do anything wrong! I'm just working here..."

No one paid any attention to his struggles. The detectives simply grabbed Lin Weiguo and forcibly dragged him out of the supermarket.

From the phone booth diagonally opposite the supermarket, Wang Jianguo saw everything clearly. He hid behind the thick glass, a smile he couldn't hide on his face.

Watching Lin Weiguo being handcuffed, watching him struggle and cry, watching him being forcibly shoved into a van, I felt no pity, only smug satisfaction.

The 1,000 yuan bonus is about to be received; this is nothing.

More importantly, there are those valuable points. With those points, one has a greater chance of obtaining permanent residency.

He even imagined the moment he received his green card, and a strange sense of superiority welled up within him as that day arrived.

He even felt that Lin Weiguo's predicament was his own fault; after all, he had illegally overstayed his visa. He was merely upholding justice.

"What an idiot, thinking he could get away with a fake ID."

Du Chengbin at the intersection couldn't help but mutter to himself. Meanwhile, in one of the SUVs, Wang Kai, sitting in the passenger seat, was in charge of the operation. In his early years, he had always been involved in home visits to immigrants, but with his promotion, he was now in charge of the operation team.

He glanced at the car that had already driven away and said:

"Now that the arrest has been completed, transfer the reward to the whistleblower's account in the next couple of days. Don't delay."

"Understood, boss, but there are two of them."

The agent in the driver's seat nodded, paused, and then couldn't help but ask:

"Those two whistleblowers seem to be international students. They actually reported the same person at the same time. If this report is successful, the points will help them get citizenship in the future."

Wang Kai turned his head, glanced at him, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips:

"What do you think?"

The agent in the driver's seat paused for a moment, thought carefully, then shook his head and said:

“People who betray their own compatriots for points and bonuses should not be allowed to stay here.”

He paused, then continued:

"If they can betray their own people for profit today, they might betray us for even greater profit tomorrow."

In their eyes, nothing is off-limits; profit is always the most important thing, and who they betray is completely irrelevant.

After listening, Wang Kai nodded in agreement:
“You’re right. This kind of person only cares about himself and has no bottom line or principles. Therefore, he can never become one of us, nor can he ever get a formal work permit, let alone become a citizen—we don’t need such a ‘citizen’.”

When Wang Kai said these words, his tone was full of sarcasm:
“Every year, illegal immigrants come to SEA. How can we stop them all by ourselves? This ‘points reward’ allows us to precisely target illegal overstayers. After all, all illegal immigrants who come here will first seek refuge with acquaintances or people they know. If they haven’t obtained permanent residency yet, they are very likely to betray those people…”

This is actually just a strategy to prevent illegal immigrants from staying in the country.

"But how do we stop them from getting permanent residency? After all, they can get corresponding points rewards, and those points are real, boss."

Wang Kai nodded and said:
"Of course, they will receive a certain number of points as a reward, but even if they reach the required points, they will still have to wait because immigration has a waiting list and there are other restrictions. The reviewers will consider all aspects, including character."

He paused, his tone becoming serious, and said:

"Besides, someone who can betray his own compatriots, even if he is given the opportunity to become a citizen, will not only not become one of us, but will also bring his bad habits to us like a rat dropping."

What we need are citizens with principles and a sense of responsibility, not these profit-driven individuals.

As he said this, Wang Kai looked out the window and then said:
“In the past, our work was relatively simple. Most of the illegal immigrants we dealt with came from Southeast Asian countries, and they were easy to identify by their appearance. But what about in the future?”

He paused slightly before saying:

"Many people from Tangshan will come here, some through legal channels, but many more will come illegally. They will use all sorts of means to stay here illegally."

The public doesn't reject them; in fact, they often offer help. After all, many of them might be their relatives. In this situation, how can we stop them?

With a furrowed brow, Wang Kai felt unprecedented pressure when he mentioned these things. As an immigration official, he was very clear about the kind of pressure he would face in the future.

Why are they always fully armed during their operations?
In fact, it's all about maintaining a deterrent effect and showing people the determination to crack down on illegal immigration.

Only in this way can we prevent problems before they occur. Of course, this is just their opinion; after all, there are some things you can't stop.

So, what awaits Lin Weiguo?
In the immigration office's interrogation room, Lin Weiguo chose to remain silent when questioned. The reason he chose to remain silent was that he did not have a passport.

There's no way to deport someone without a passport. Because you can't determine their nationality, where would you deport them to?

Therefore, Lin Weiguo chose to remain silent. In his view, as long as he didn't speak, these people would definitely be unable to do anything to him.

Faced with such silence, Wang Kai's lips curled into a smile, and then he said in a sarcastic tone:

"Mr. Lin, do you think that by choosing to remain silent, we won't be able to deport you?"

Looking at this naive fellow, Wang Kai continued:

“We don’t know which country you are a citizen of, but as you know, we can repatriate stateless persons to countries that have agreements with us, such as those in Africa!”

Africa!

Upon hearing this term, Lin Weiguo was stunned. As he looked up in surprise, he heard the other person say:
"We have agreements with some African countries regarding illegal immigration, which allow us to repatriate stateless illegal immigrants to their countries. Isn't that surprising?"

Wang Kai wore a cold smile on his face:

"However, stateless persons like you, even after being deported to East Africa, will still be prosecuted. It's not easy if you don't want to spend your life in jail; it requires... well, you need to serve in the military."

Yes, that's right, it's the Foreign Legion, by the way..."

As he spoke, Wang Kai closed the file and said:

"The Foreign Legion is fighting in Ethiopia. Congratulations, Mr. Lin. You're going to the battlefield!"

what!
Instantly, Lin Weiguo was dumbfounded, and he shouted:
"What did you say? You can't do this, you can't, I... I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was slammed shut, and no one paid any attention to his shouts. Exhausted from yelling, he slumped to the ground, muttering:
"How could this happen? Damn it, how could they use me as cannon fodder? God, how could they do this to me? I just want to stay here..."

When the topic of staying here came up, he suddenly seemed to be provoked and shouted:
"Hell, this is hell on earth, why can't you understand..."
