Chapter 161 Crisis

Inside the mayor's residence, Li Mingsheng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, quietly watching a group of police officers disperse throughout the house, searching upstairs and downstairs.

Liu Changming stood at the door, not making eye contact with Li Mingsheng at all, only using the action of constantly looking at his watch to cover up the nervousness in his heart.

About two minutes later, a police officer on the lower floor shouted, "Director Liu, Director Liu, there's a storage basement here, and it's locked!"

Hearing the shout, Liu Changming immediately led people over.

Dozens of seconds later, at the narrow basement entrance, Liu Changming directed three police officers, saying, "Pry it open, pry it open, and make it quick!"

The three squatted down upon hearing the sound and began to pick the lock with their equipment.

Outside the municipal family compound, members of various departments waiting for Liu Changming's good news saw a dense cluster of twenty or so pure black SUVs driving from the east side of the road.

"Which department is here again?" someone asked as they got out of the car to watch.

…

At the basement entrance, three experienced police officers pried open the iron door. The rest of the group immediately raised their guns and shone flashlights inside.

The rusty iron door slowly opened, and Liu Changming squinted as he looked inside. At first glance, he saw five or six people surrounding a single bed, treating an injured person.

Liu Changming swallowed and craned his neck to take another look inside, spotting Su Tiannan!

Seeing this person, Liu Changming's tense emotions instantly eased. He glared and said, "The person really is here! Arrest them!"

Inside the room, Su Tiannan and the others turned to look at Liu Changming, but none of them moved or showed any signs of resistance.

"Bang!"

Just then, an automatic rifle popped out from inside the room, pointing directly at Liu Changming's head!

"Don't move!"

"Put down your guns!"

"…!"

The six or seven police officers around Liu Changming nervously raised their guns.

The bright light shone on the face of the person holding the gun. It was none other than Jin Maohui, the captain of the Dragon City Anti-Terrorism Squad!

When Li Mingsheng was assassinated outside the district, Su Tianyu contacted this person to rescue himself and his leader. He was a true core member of the Li faction.

Clutching the gun, Jin Maohui raised an eyebrow and asked Liu Changming, "Did you find anything?!"

Liu Changming was a little dazed. He glanced at Su Tiannan and replied with confidence, "What are you trying to do? The suspect is inside!"

"Who saw it?" Jin Maohui retorted, "Just you guys?!"

Liu Changming was stunned by the question.

Jin Maohui picked up the walkie-talkie with his left hand and whispered, "Move out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty heavily armed anti-terrorism squad members suddenly rushed out of the villa to the left of Li Mingsheng's house. They stormed into the Li residence in less than ten seconds!

"Don't move!"

"Everyone, don't move!"

"…!"

After entering the house, the anti-terrorism squad directly separated the police officers who were searching upstairs and downstairs. Two of them tried to draw their guns to resist, arguing with the squad members, but they were immediately shot down by the anti-terrorism squad members.

Gunshots rang out!

The people monitoring the Li family's movements from the outside immediately reported this news to the Regulatory Commission!

Inside the Regulatory Commission headquarters, a Chinese cadre reported to the head, "They've opened fire over there!"

The white fat man stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the front of the monitor, saying, "The person really is there! Notify the people outside to prepare to enter the scene!"

…

Inside the villa.

Seven or eight anti-terrorism squad members, holding guns, rushed to the basement, blocking Liu Changming and the others.

"I'll say it one more time, put down your guns!" Jin Maohui roared at Liu Changming and the others with a gloomy face.

Liu Changming stood there, stunned. The other police officers also looked at him with sweat on their foreheads, somewhat at a loss.

The anti-terrorism squad was not a regular department. It was a special armed force between the military and the judicial departments. Generally speaking, it only obeyed the orders of the municipal government, but at the moment, this anti-terrorism squad did not give face to anyone, only listening to Li Mingsheng.

Everyone was stunned. Jin Maohui gritted his teeth, poked Liu Changming's head with his gun, and roared, "I think you want to die?! Put down your gun! Now!!"

Jin Maohui's roar intimidated everyone, and they involuntarily lowered the arms holding their guns.

Jin Maohui pulled Liu Changming away and took him back to the living room, while the others were blocked at the basement door, not daring to act rashly. The anti-terrorism squad members also closed the basement door. Da Feng Novel

From the moment Liu Changming was grabbed by Jin Maohui, he realized that something was wrong. He felt that Li Mingsheng's emotions tonight might not just be about protecting a few association members.

In the dimly lit villa hall, Liu Changming looked at Li Mingsheng on the sofa with some trepidation, swallowing several times in a row and saying, "Mayor, I had no choice…!"

"I know, I know everything." Li Mingsheng drank the last bit of red wine, looked up at him, and asked, "Who sent you?"

"The Regulatory Commission and the upper echelons of the police department," Liu Changming replied without hesitation.

"Very good." Li Mingsheng waved his hand, "Come here!"

Liu Changming hesitated for a moment, took shaky steps and walked over. Seeing that he was looking down at Li Mingsheng, he immediately squatted down.

Li Mingsheng looked at him and said in a very soft voice, "Call the Regulatory Commission, now!"

Liu Changming was stunned for a moment, somewhat at a loss.

"It's okay, I'm asking you to call, so just call," Li Mingsheng said with a smile.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Changming immediately took out his mobile phone and called a senior leader of the Regulatory Commission.

The call connected, and the person from the Regulatory Commission asked anxiously on the phone, "What's the situation inside? Why did you open fire?"

Li Mingsheng took the phone, paused slightly, and said, "I am Li Mingsheng! I was attacked by police officers at home… They opened fire on me!"

The other party was instantly stunned.

Li Mingsheng smiled brightly, reached out and hung up the phone directly.

Liu Changming squatted on the ground, listening to the other party's words, and couldn't help but shudder.

"You didn't come to search for bandits, you came to kill me! Just like those actions they did outside the district," Li Mingsheng pointed at Liu Changming's cheek and said, word by word.

"Mayor, Mayor, listen to me…!"

"I didn't hold a gun to your head and force you into this house!" Li Mingsheng left a sentence, then stood up and shouted, "Li Yuan!"

Li Yuan was sweating on his forehead and a little dazed.

"You stay by my side. There will be more things like this!" Li Mingsheng added as he walked out.

Li Yuan clenched his fists and immediately took out his gun.

"No, Mayor, I…!" Liu Changming was so frightened that he collapsed on the floor.

"Bang, bang!!"

Three gunshots, Liu Changming was shot dead on the spot. Li Yuan swallowed and shouted at the other party's still twitching body, "Reporting to the leader, I have shot the bandit!!"

Inside the room, Jin Maohui was not so soft-hearted. He directly made a neck-cutting gesture to his own people, "Those who followed Liu Changming are not good people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, fierce gunshots rang out at the entrance of the basement. The black police lackeys blocked on the steps below were all shot dead.

At the door, Li Mingsheng looked out at the compound and dialed Su Tianyu's number with his mobile phone, "I've given you a lot of resources back and forth! I want to see the results of your work!"

"Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingsheng once again dialed the direct leader of the Minzheng Dang upper echelons, saying concisely, "I was attacked by the police system at home. Under the pretext of searching for criminals, they broke into my house to kill me! If I hadn't been prepared, I would have been lying in the morgue now… I am now formally resigning to you. I can't be this mayor…!"

…

At the entrance of the Victory District Police Department.

Yu Mingyuan crossed the road in the dark night. Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui followed on his left, and Bai Hongbo and Zhou Tonghui followed on his right!

The five walked forward, heading straight for the Victory District Police Department compound.

Suddenly, Yu Mingyuan shouted loudly, "Judicial corruption, abuse of public office!!! Release the workers who are legally demanding compensation!!"

The shout was weak, but it echoed for a long time in the dark night!

"Severely punish the judicial department, release the workers!" Su Tianyu also raised his arms and shouted.

The continuous shouts attracted the attention of the police officers in the courtyard, and they all looked towards the door.

At this moment, a convoy that seemed to stretch on forever slowly drove from all directions.

In the surrounding streets and alleys, four or five hundred workers who had already gathered, with white cloths wrapped around their arms, slowly gathered, filling the streets of the Victory District Police Department almost instantly.

"Judicial corruption, release the workers who are legally demanding compensation!! Severely punish the Baolong Group!!"

The crowd gathered, and this wave of shouts was earth-shattering!!

Within three minutes, nearly four thousand workers either rushed out of vehicles or walked over, with overwhelming momentum!

After a year and a half of accumulation, after countless fights, the Tongji Association finally ushered in the moment to rise!!

The Tianhong Port Stevedore Association, the Changqing Association, and the members of the Tongji Association completely formed a group at this moment, besieging the Victory District Police Department!

Longkou District, Stevedore Association!

"You guessed right, Wei Xiangzuo of Tianhong Port, and the two major associations of Zhanan, have all gone to the Victory District Police Department!" The middle-aged man hung up the phone and said to Gu Baisun.

Upon hearing this, Gu Baisun immediately stood up and rubbed his hands, saying, "Don't even think about it, Old Li has stood his ground!! Notify all registered members in Longkou District to gather immediately and participate in this protest event!! Notify all media to issue a notice in the name of the Longkou District Association and criticize the Baolong Group!! Su Tianyu is about to rise with the wind, and we'll hitch a ride on the bandwagon!"

The middle-aged man reminded with some concern, "Doing this… there's no way to explain it to the General Association. After all, Zhang Ming's intention is to stand with the Regulatory Commission and Baolong!"

"Besides knowing how to extort money, he has no vision at all!" Gu Baisun pointed at the store and roared, "What kind of organization are we? We are the largest labor union in Dragon City! At this time, if you don't speak for the workers, but instead stand up for capital and power, then what kind of image do you have compared to the Tongji Association and Changqing Company? Worse than dog shit! What carries your association is the bottom of society! Without them, what use does the government have for you?! I have a weak reputation in Longkou, and I want to take this opportunity to gain a foothold! Don't hesitate, immediately support the two major associations! Be quick!"
