Chapter 228 The Situation Changes

　　Jia City, a large hotel.

　　A car stopped in front of the hotel, and a waiter immediately stepped forward and opened the door. Wu Han, wearing a suit, got out of the car, took out his mobile phone, and called Jiangzhou.

　　"Hello?" Jiangzhou's voice came from the phone.

　　"I'm here," Wu Han said softly, "I just received a reply. Old Huo and Wang Xiao are on their way here. We can meet tonight and talk business tomorrow."

　　"Okay," Jiangzhou replied immediately, "Negotiate according to the situation. If there are any problems, we can communicate at any time."

　　"I understand. I'll hang up first. I still have to have dinner with the military in Jia City," Wu Han said hurriedly.

　　"Okay, that's it." Jiangzhou hung up the phone.

　　Wu Han led a dozen or so entourage members and walked into the hotel lobby.

　　Several local Jia City generals came up to greet Wu Han with smiles and shook his hand. Wu Han exchanged a few pleasantries with them, and the group walked upstairs.

　　...

　　At the same time, Saint Paul City.

　　Huo Dongsheng's car was getting closer and closer to the airport. Looking out, he could already see rows of passenger planes parked inside.

　　Huo Dongsheng held his mobile phone and asked with a serious expression, "How did you know?"

　　Huang Peishan immediately explained: "Information came from several sources. Informants in District One said that Yu Mingyuan's subordinates, Zhou Tonghui and Kong Zhenghui, are gathering armed personnel, at least about a thousand people. Also, we have connections with the Sori Navy. According to people there, Liu Hongxu, a subordinate of the An faction, is also spending money to buy them off. Yu Mingyuan's idea is to ask the Sori Navy to send armed personnel into Saint Paul City, on the grounds that there may be changes within the Chinese Workers' Association… Chairman, this operation… doesn't seem like a negotiation! I think they deliberately lured you there, and then they'll start fighting!"

　　Hearing this, Huo Dongsheng's left hand clenched into a fist on his leg, and the joints on his fingers turned white. He pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, and finally said, "The situation in Saint Paul City is very complicated now. Little Jiang is very cautious, and currently, no one is available because Wang Xiao's armed forces have been locked down. So, it's normal for him to have some private precautions… Don't panic, as long as you ensure that everything I told you to do before I left is done well, then I won't have any problems. Jiangzhou is not a fool; he doesn't need to fight me to the death and create internal strife. This is not in their interest."

　　"Ah," Huang Peishan sighed, "I know… but you must consider it carefully. The overseas faction of the Chinese Workers' Association can only rely on you to take the lead. The influence of other people is weaker. Personally, I think it's better not to take risks, but if you have to go, I will take care of things at home."

　　"Okay, I know, that's it."

　　Huo Dongsheng nodded and hung up the phone.

　　A suffocating sense of tension came over him. Huo Dongsheng found that his palms were sweaty, and even his mobile phone was wet. He gently rubbed his palms on his trouser legs, leaned back in his seat, and squinted at the scenery outside the window.

　　This trip to Jia City was a gamble caused by unwillingness. Huo Dongsheng felt that the power he currently controlled was not enough to get him the most ideal result, so he wanted to go, wanting to buy time, and he also believed that Jiangzhou definitely didn't want to start a civil war at this juncture.

　　"Ding-ling-ling!"

　　After a while, the phone rang again.

　　Huo Dongsheng took out his phone and frowned when he saw the caller ID, "Hello?"

　　"Are you going there?" A man's voice came from the phone. He asked directly, "What are you thinking? Do you want to play both sides? Or do you want to be a fence-sitter? I advise you to think clearly and don't make a decision you'll regret."

　　Huo Dongsheng was silent for a while, then said, "You're thinking too much. I just want to stabilize the situation. The other side wants balance now, not murder!"

　　The man sneered coldly, "Balance my ass! You're going to die if you go now! Have you considered that maybe the Hua District is willing to balance, but many people want you dead? Can you be sure that those people will listen to the Hua District?"

　　Hearing this, a trace of gloom appeared in Huo Dongsheng's eyes.

　　The man didn't stop. He continued, "I don't know what you're thinking, but I've received some information. Now, not only are the An faction people moving, but Su Tianyu has also flown to Panama City and issued a standby order to the local Blackwater Legion. There are about three or four battalions preparing… I've given you enough hints. Think about it yourself."

　　After saying this, the man hung up the phone directly.

　　Huo Dongsheng sat in the car, closed his eyes and said nothing. The car was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

　　The situation was changing too fast. He didn't expect so many people to be unable to hold back and start mobilizing troops.

　　The man was right. Perhaps the Hua District didn't want anything to happen to him, and even more so didn't want a civil war to break out, but too many outside forces were staring at him. Would these people listen to Jiangzhou?

　　For some reason, Su Tianyu's figure suddenly appeared in Huo Dongsheng's mind at this moment.

　　Huo Dongsheng still remembered the gloomy look in Su Tianyu's eyes when he stood up to speak after Qiu Ge made trouble at the celebration party in the hotel that night.

　　This might be a person who was more unscrupulous than himself, dared to gamble more at critical moments, and was even more ruthless.

　　Huo Dongsheng frowned and thought for a long time before finally saying, "Don't go, go back! Don't take the same road we came from!"

　　"Turn around now?"

　　"Yes! Hurry!"

　　"Okay!" The driver immediately responded and used the walkie-talkie to notify the other accompanying vehicles to return.

　　Huo Dongsheng sat in the car, staring out the window, his eyes still full of unwillingness, "Since that's the case, we can only fight…!"

　　After figuring it out, Huo Dongsheng took out his phone and called his son, Huo Jun, "Xiao Jun, the plan has changed. I'm not going to Jia City. Listen, immediately contact Old Huang and go to the administrative office to ask the police to help arrest people. At the same time, have them intercept Wang Xiao at the airport. At all costs, hold him down first and don't let him leave!"

　　…

　　Saint Paul City, Chinese Workers' Association headquarters.

　　Huo Jun hung up the phone, and his entire state changed completely. He excitedly called Huang Peishan and repeated what Huo Dongsheng had told him, then said, "Uncle Huang, we need to act quickly, don't let Wang Xiao escape!"

　　"Xiao Jun, don't rush, I'm not at the headquarters right now," Huang Peishan said quickly, "How about this, let's go separately and meet at the Saint Paul City administrative office later. The situation is a bit chaotic now, bring more people with you."

　　"Okay, I'm leaving now!" Huo Jun hung up the phone. He walked out of the office and directly summoned more than twenty security team members, striding downstairs.

　　At the door, a security team member who had been following Huo Jun for many years couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Huo, what's going on? Why is the situation so tense all of a sudden?"

　　Huo Jun chuckled, "From today on, there will only be one sky in the Chinese Workers' Association. Our era has arrived, brother."

　　Huo Jun reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, feeling excited as he got into the car and headed to the Saint Paul City administrative office.
