Chapter 601: Take Control of the Situation
When Ran Zhonglei said this, the veteran people in front of him had gradually come to their senses, and at the same time, they also saw the dozens of mercenaries with loaded guns and ammunition surrounded outside, and many people immediately realized that their lives were controlled by others, and they subconsciously wanted to touch their waists, but found that their weapons were long gone.

At this time, I heard Ran Zhonglei say:
"Today's meeting is being convened because we found out that Charik was rebellious towards us. We have already found out that since Charik managed our business, he has embezzled a large amount of our property, wantonly excluded dissidents, and even colluded with Peng Jinnan to secretly manipulate us. β
"The most hateful thing is that Charik actually colluded with the Burmese!" Ran Zhonglei said with an angry expression.
As soon as he said this, the military and civilians were in an uproar.
Because the veterans and the Burmese are the enemies of life and death, there have been many battles between the two sides, and many veterans have died at the hands of the Burmese army, so the soldiers and civilians of the veterans hate the Burmese very much.
Among the veterans, there were originally many people who were dissatisfied with Charik, or had no good feelings, but now when they heard Ran Zhonglei say that Charik actually colluded with the Burmese, it aroused the anger of all the people towards Charik, and because this was said by Ran Zhonglei, who had the highest status among the veterans, no one would not believe this.
In fact, Ran Zhonglei did not have conclusive evidence of Charik's collusion with the Burmese, and the reason why Charik colluded with the Burmese was completely at Marin's behest.
When Ma Lin saw Ran Zhonglei's three-point performance, he smiled secretly in his heart, this old guy is quite good at acting.
Seeing Ran Zhonglei raise his hands and press them twice, he quieted down the people in front of him, and then continued:
"And we have also found out that the reason why Chen Wenfeng died in the battle with the Burmese back then was also caused by Charik's secret collusion with the Burmese and telling the Burmese about Chen Wenfeng's whereabouts!"
At this moment, the military and civilians were even more boiling.
As Ma Lin said, many of the veterans respected the Chen family and their father and son very much, and they were also very sad about Chen Wenfeng's death at the beginning, and there were rumors that Chen Wenfeng's death was secretly murdered by Charik, but the arbitration committee did not give a clear answer, so everyone did not dare to guess.
Now, the arbitration committee has issued this certificate, which is considered to be a conviction for Charik.
"I now declare that Charik is our enemy, and everyone will be condemned!" Ran Zhonglei said loudly.
"Everybody's got it! Everybody gets it! The soldiers and civilians in front shouted excitedly.
Chen Rong saw everyone's reaction, knew that they were angry about their father's death, and could see that their father's status in the eyes of everyone was very important, in addition, Charik was finally characterized as his father's murderer, although the means were a little improper, but it could be regarded as fulfilling Chen Rong's wish.
"Dad, did you see, we finally drove that bastard Charik to our opposite." Chen Rong raised her head slightly to look at the sky, silently said in her heart, and then looked at Ma Lin:
"Dad, she helped us, if it weren't for her, our Chen family would have been destroyed long ago. She is a very powerful person, with her help, our Chen family will definitely be able to carry forward, Dad, you also saw it in the sky. β
At this time, I only heard Ran Zhonglei say:
"In the matter of Charik, Peng Jinnan and Peng Guangyao, who colluded with it, have been cleaned up by us, in addition, it was also our Ran, Peng, Zhang, and Bai who decided to let Charik manage our business at the beginning, and it was we who decided to let Charik manage the business despite Wen Feng's opposition, which led to today's evil consequences, so we also have unshirkable responsibility for Wen Feng's death. In view of this, the four of us decided to dissolve the arbitration committee and hand over the command of the veterans to Xiao Rong, and we are also confident that Xiao Rong has enough talent to lead our veterans and let us get greater development. β
Hearing Ran Zhonglei say that he would dissolve the arbitration committee and hand over the command to Chen Rong, everyone was shocked, but there was no other big reaction, because for them, it didn't matter who led the veterans, the important thing was that they could get a stable and safe living environment.
And the Chen family was originally one of the controllers of the veterans, so it was not difficult to accept that they would take over the command of the veterans now.
This is also to blame Ran Zhonglei for only seeking benefits for their own family over the years, and not giving enough benefits to other military and civilians, resulting in today's power changing hands, and other military and civilians have no intention of retaining them.
Seeing that Ran Zhonglei made a gesture to Chen Rong, Chen Rong came to Ran Zhonglei's side under Ma Lin's encouraging gaze, and suddenly, the eyes of all the soldiers and civilians were focused on Chen Rong's body, which made Chen Rong nervous in vain.
She took a deep breath, and then said loudly to the crowd:
"Everyone, I won't say much about the polite words, and in the next few days, I will lead you to complete three things. The first is to kill Charik, a bastard, so that I can avenge my father and the other brothers and sisters who died under his schemes! β
"Good, revenge! Avenge! β
Now that Charik has become a public enemy, the veterans will of course kill him.
As for those who have already joined Charik's camp, they are not here now, and Marin and Chen Rong don't need to worry about them, and the small number of people who have been secretly bought by Charik here, Marin will naturally slowly clean them up, and there is no need to worry at all.
Chen Rong raised two fingers and said:
"The second thing is that I will lead everyone to stand firm here, so that neither the Burmese nor the Siamese will dare to bully us again! Although we have some power here now, we are now suffering from internal troubles, and Charik is colluding with the Burmese, so we may be destroyed at any time. But you can rest assured, as long as I Chen Rong is here for a day, I will live and die with everyone! Don't let the Burmese and Siamese insult us! β
These words were actually taught to Chen Rong by Ma Lin in advance, but now that Chen Rong said it, she also substituted it, after all, her feelings were true, and they were only expressed through Ma Lin's guidance.
Before this, Chen Rong was just a strong and brave girl in the hearts of the military and civilians, but now, Chen Rong has shown a mature side, and she herself is proving to them that she can take on the important responsibility of leadership.
"The third thing." Chen Rong continued:
"I promise you that one day, I will lead everyone back to their hometown!"
The previous two promises were far less than the shock brought to the military and civilians by what Chen Rong said at this time, and everyone was stunned.
Decades have passed since they fled here, and today's veterans are gradually transitioning to the third and fourth generations, and the older people want to return to their hometowns all the time, and the young people also want to leave here, preferably with legal status.
It's just that they know that there is no possibility of realizing this wish of their own. They also tried to defeat them miserably, and neither the Burmese nor the Siamese recognized them.
After initially letting the veteran's military and civilians accept this change of power, Ma Lin's next step was to disarm the four families of Old Man Ran.
