Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570 Road Closure 

The general manager of Lilyrose Logistics, Howard was the son–in–law of the Goldings. 

He was an uncle to Frank. 

Howard would not neglect a call from his nephew, Frank. So, he immediately rolled out Frank’s 

instructions. 

Lilyrose Logistics dominated the distribution chain in Lilyrose. No other shipping companies would dare retaliate against it. 

These companies heeded Lilyrose Logistics‘ orders right away. 

Soon, the main roads into the city were closed. 

All freight vehicles entering Lilyrose would be stopped and searched. 

The power and reach of the top three families permeated the complex network. 

The local government turned a blind eye to Lilyrose Logistics‘ illegal road closures. Some authorities in 

uniform even volunteered to cover for them. 

It explained why the public considered Johnson a figurehead mayor. 

The real people running the city were the three family heads. 

Large trucks snaked along the roadside, queueing on the other side of the toll booth at around three 

o’clock in the morning. 

The whole debacle started after midnight. 

Each vehicle was summoned to stop at the side of the road for searching after leaving the toll booth. 

“Open the cargo door.” 

“Why should I open the door? You aren’t the authorities. You’re not even in uniform.” 

“Cut the crap before I break your legs. Now hurry up,” a group of dangerous–looking young men shouted. 

The drivers said nothing more and opened the door to the cargo. 

The thugs climbed into the cargo bed with flashlights and poked around the goods. They would help themselves to the good stuff when they came across some. 

The truck drivers had to bite their tongues despite their anger. 

These hooligans worked under Leath. 

When the distribution network started to build in Lilyrose, Leath led his gang to occupy the market 

through violence. 

Leath rose to power and became one of the leaders of the city’s logistics industry. 

Later, the top three families recruited these leaders to dip their fingers into logistics. 

“Make sure the boys keep a watchful eye. The boss said not a single test tube should be transported to Shangrila Group.” 

Leath sat behind a table by the road, smoking and drinking while barking orders at his men. 

The boss he was talking about was Howard. 

Leath was not at the point to communicate directly with the three family heads. 

“Our friend with the highway patrol just gave us a tip that a transportation fleet is coming off the highway in our direction. They must be heading to Shangrila Group.” 

One of his men reported to Leath.
