Chapter 113 Desperate Gamble

On Tonglin Bridge, Li Xing got out of the car, feeling somewhat apprehensive as he looked at the shootout across the bridge.

Inside the car, a police officer leaned out and asked, "Brother, we don't have enough men. What if we can't control the situation when we get there?"

Li Xing hesitated for a moment, then immediately dialed Li Hongze's number.

After a short pause, a voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, where are you?"

"I'm here. Where's Lu Feng?" Li Xing demanded, "There are too many of them, and I don't have enough men. I'm afraid I won't be able to control the situation."

"Lu... Lu Feng was caught by Wang Daolin on the way," Li Hongze said through gritted teeth. "His men can't get there now. You're at the scene, so you have to do it."

"There are a lot of people on the other side, and I have to do it?!"

"You're a police officer, what are you afraid of? If they dare to fight back, you shoot. You help Du to get out of trouble, disperse them, and let him into the port." Li Hongze was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He didn't have time to transfer people from Zhan Nan now, so he could only pin his hopes on Li Xing.

"Damn it, that Lu Feng is such a waste!" Li Xing cursed through clenched teeth. "So many people came to Tonglin Bridge together, and he still got caught by Wang Daolin? I told you a long time ago that we should get rid of him."

"What's the use of saying that now?! Hurry up and do it! Xu Hu just told me that Wei Xiangzuo might already be in the port," Li Hongze roared.

"Okay, I got it."

After ending the call, Li Xing gritted his teeth and shouted into the car, "Everyone, get out of the car with your guns. Let's go."

A minute later, Li Xing gathered his men on the bridge. All of them were armed with guns and wearing bulletproof vests that they had brought with them. They strode towards the bridgehead.

At this moment, most of the men from both sides at the bridgehead had been scattered, leaving only a few scattered Changqing leaders being chased.

Li Xing entered the street without saying a word because he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the situation. If they got anxious and turned on him, he would be in trouble. So, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

"Bang, bang!"

Two crisp gunshots rang out, and the noisy street instantly fell silent.

"Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat on the ground!" Li Xing pointed his gun at Cui Bin's brothers, who were wearing black T-shirts, and shouted as he ran forward.

When the Zhou family's men saw the police arrive, they immediately scattered in an orderly manner and fled in their cars.

Li Xing had achieved his goal of dispersing the crowd. He ordered the police officers to continue chasing forward, while he called Du Shengming.

He called twice, and after a long while, Du Shengming finally answered the phone, yelling, "Where the hell are you?!"

"Where are you? I'm at the bridgehead."

"Run to the left side of Tonglin Street, I'm here," Du Shengming shouted back. "That wanted criminal who killed the police officer is chasing me."

"Ah?!"

"It's Wu Shixiong, he's chasing me," Du Shengming replied.

"Wait for me, I'm coming."

"Okay, hurry up!"

After ending the call, Li Xing immediately turned around and waved his hand, shouting, "Someone, drive the car over here."

...

Inside the Dragon City Police Department.

With his left hand covering Ao Qing's eye socket and his right hand grabbing Lu Feng's clothes, Wang Daolin pushed him directly into the detention room, "Wait until I finish my work, then I'll deal with you!"

Lu Feng entered the small room and replied with a tough tone, "Are you stupid? I came in here, saving you a lot of trouble, why are you dealing with me?"

Wang Daolin pointed at him and cursed, "Don't try to mess with me."

"…!" Lu Feng looked at his expression and didn't bother to explain. He sat down on the iron chair and muttered softly, "They're all fools."

Wang Daolin didn't want to pay any more attention to Lu Feng and turned to leave.

"Tap, tap!"

A series of rapid footsteps echoed, and a police officer ran over and whispered in Wang Daolin's ear, "Li Xing is at Tonglin Bridge."

"What's the situation?"

"He fired a gun and went to find Du Shengming."

"Are you sure he fired a gun?" Wang Daolin asked carefully, "Did he hit anyone?"

"No, he just fired a shot to scare them."

"…!" Wang Daolin nodded. "You guys wait outside, I'm going to find Chief Guo."

"Alright!"

With that, Wang Daolin ran towards the meeting room at a brisk pace.

...

Inside Tianhong Port.

After learning that all of Li Hongze's men had been held back, Xu Hu's first reaction was very decisive. He felt that things were getting out of control, so he immediately called the vice president of the Dockworkers' Association.

Five minutes later.

In a high-end hotel in the Ouzhou Third District, a middle-aged man with half-white hair walked to the window and answered the phone, "What's wrong?"

"President, the situation in Zhan Nan... is a bit out of control. Xu Hu didn't manage to stabilize the situation," the vice president said in a low voice. "Wei Xiangzuo is back too, and the people from Fukuoka District are supporting him."

The middle-aged man with half-white hair thought for a moment with a blank expression, then lowered his head and said softly, "The Yu family is helping Wei Xiangzuo not just for some business, they want to plant their flag in Zhan Nan. Help Xu Hu, he's more controllable anyway."

"Understood," the vice president nodded.

"I have a meeting in a while, we'll talk later."

"Okay, you're busy!"

After ending the call, the middle-aged man with half-white hair picked up the glass of red wine on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Have people started entering the venue?"

...

Inside the Yu family's villa.

Yu Jinrong sat under the sunshade, looking at Chief Lin of the Police Department, who had just arrived, and said very politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Chief Lin!"

"No one wants to see the Dockworkers' Association causing trouble," Chief Lin replied softly with his hands clasped together. "Secretary-General Liu also called me. We're not talking about who's troubling who today. I just want to say one thing: stability, Zhan Nan needs stability."

"Of course!" Yu Jinrong nodded immediately.

"The Dockworkers' Association needs to be dealt with, but as the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. They can't just make trouble on their own without an opponent," Chief Lin continued, "Zhan Nan has been having problems for several months in a row. We have to give the public an explanation, and the media an explanation, or we'll lose our credibility."

"Understood!" Yu Jinrong nodded again.

After saying that, a smile finally appeared on Chief Lin's face, "Drink tea, drink tea."

...

Li Xing, who still didn't know anything at Tonglin Bridge, got into the car at this moment and went after Da Xiong.

At the same time.

Not long after Xu Hu finished calling the vice president, the port, which had been quiet all along, finally began to move.

Hua Bi Long, who was hiding in another city, held his phone and said to his brothers in the port, "Everyone, go to the streets and help our boss!"

On Second Street in the port, Xiao Feng got out of the car and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Tianhong Port, anyone who still recognizes Wei Xiangzuo, come out now!!!"

The shouting echoed, and the final offensive began.
