The rear courtyard of the Teda Conference Hall.

Zhang Ming walked quickly, holding his phone and saying to Tan Mingchao, "Yes, we're getting ready to pull out!"

Tan Mingchao was stunned. "They're voting over there. Why are you leaving?"

"They're about to move against me. If I don't leave, I'll probably get taken out." Zhang Ming replied urgently, "The votes in the conference hall are almost done, and the result won't change! There's no point in me staying here!"

"Who told you they're going to move against you?" Tan Mingchao asked.

"I had your people and Yang Dong's people check the second floor. Guo Zhengdao brought five guys and set up two snipers aimed at me." Zhang Ming replied with a grim expression, "If I don't leave, they might really do it! If the voting results are in favor of Old Li, they'll definitely move against me after the meeting! Otherwise, me pulling strings from the shadows will cause them too much trouble, right? They'll definitely want to nip it in the bud!"

Tan Mingchao was silent.

"There's really nothing for me to do here. There are over sixteen hundred people at the scene, and the ballot box is right on the main stage. No one can rig it." Zhang Ming immediately stated his plan, "I'll leave and have our people monitor the voting results! If the vote count is not in our favor, your people can go in and disrupt the public vote. That's how we achieve our goal."

"Alright, then go back to the city defense office. I'll be there soon." Tan Mingchao asked softly, "Have you tallied the votes on your end?"

"We currently have a stable five hundred votes or so!" Zhang Ming replied, "The rest are still being counted."

"Okay, let's talk when we meet." Tan Mingchao hung up the phone, looked up at the officer in the passenger seat, and said, "We're not staying here to watch. Let's go back to the city defense office."

"Zhang Ming ran?"

"Yes, he's scared." Tan Mingchao thought for a moment, "It's good he left. He really wouldn't be able to do much at the scene anyway. But is Old Li really planning to act forcefully? Isn't he afraid that the garrison will get impatient and start talking to him with gun barrels?"

"I don't understand it either." The officer in the passenger seat shook his head.

...

The rear courtyard of the conference hall.

As Zhang Ming walked quickly towards his car, Guizi Wu suddenly tugged at him, "You came in this car, and you're leaving in it too, Chairman?"

Zhang Ming turned to look at him. "Yeah, damn it, let's switch cars!"

"Come to mine!" Guizi Wu immediately cleared the way ahead.

In the crowd behind them, Yang Dong suddenly stopped and glanced at Zhang Ming before saying to his brother, "We'll leave after they leave!"

"Huh?" The brother didn't understand Yang Dong's meaning for a moment.

"Are you stupid? Someone's got him in their sights. Why would you walk with him? Get the car to the side door. We'll leave separately!" Yang Dong said very slyly.

"Big brother, you're so wise!"

"Damn, these days, our lives aren't our own!" Yang Dong deliberately slowed down and watched Zhang Ming get into the car.

Thirty seconds later, five or six cars rushed out of the conference center's rear courtyard and headed straight for the city defense office not far away.

In the car, Zhang Ming wiped the sweat from his face with one hand and kept urging Guizi Wu, "Ask again, is there any movement over there? Are Wei Xiangzuo and Guo Zhengdao still at the conference hall?"

"I'm asking, I'm asking!" Guizi Wu fiddled with his phone.

The convoy continued forward, turned a street corner, and was less than two kilometers away from the city defense office.

Guizi Wu looked up, grinned, and shouted into his phone, "Brothers, don't take the main road. Go through the intersection up ahead, it's a bit closer that way!"

"Okay!" The driver nodded.

After speaking, Guizi Wu immediately handed the phone to Zhang Ming, "Wei Xiangzuo might be confused. He sent people to our break room, but found out we had already left, haha...!"

Zhang Ming covered his chest with one hand and forced a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Wu Zi!"

"It's nothing, you've treated me well! Haha!" Guizi Wu comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, we're out of there, it'll be fine. There are garrison troops nearby. No one would dare to move."

"Yeah!" Zhang Ming replied absentmindedly, feeling uneasy.

"Woong!"

The convoy drove quickly, turning into a small street on the left.

This street was a narrow, third-tier street with residential buildings over ten years old on both sides, giving off a crowded and dilapidated feeling.

Zhang Ming fiddled with his phone, about to ask about the vote count at the scene, when a third-floor window on the left side of the middle of the road was suddenly pushed open.

"Squeak!"

The sound of mechanical rotation rose, and a masked man said softly into his headset, "In position!"

"Clang, clang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several windows in the buildings on the right side of the road were also pushed open!

At the same time, Gu Baishun, who had been hospitalized for less than ten days, strolled along the roadside in front of the small street.

He walked steadily with a straight back, his left arm in a sling wrapped in gauze, and said into his headset, "Fire! The programmer association is changing hands!"

Across from him, the convoy was speeding, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the middle of the street!

On the third floor on the left, the burly man rotated the nine-barreled Gatling gun, and the steel base made a squeaking, teeth-grinding sound!

The muzzle swept horizontally, slowly aiming at the street!

The burly man pressed the electronic trigger with both hands and opened fire on the center of the street in a breath!

"Da da da...!"

The Gatling gun spat flames and began to violently strafe, the sound of gunfire echoing through two or three nearby streets, and the golden-orange shell casings splashed on the burly man's chest, all blocked by the inserted iron plates!

At the moment of firing, the two off-road vehicles driving at the front of the convoy were instantly riddled with holes, and the people inside were shot into mincemeat with almost no reaction time!

Gu Baishun walked to the center of the street, waved his hand, and shouted, "Charge!"

"Clang, clang...!"

More than twenty men rushed out of four or five buildings, carrying guns and heading for the convoy!

"Da da...!"

Machine guns and fully automatic rifles firing at full force were still roaring madly, sweeping the roofs of the vehicles below from top to bottom, causing sparks to fly and the out-of-control cars to crash into both sides of the road!

In ten seconds, less than ten seconds, all four or five vehicles on the other side were shot to a standstill on the street. Only Zhang Ming's car was not attacked, but it was also blocked in the middle of the road and could not move forward.

The masked men swarmed forward, pointing their guns at Zhang Ming's car and shouting, "No nonsense! Surrender your weapons and we won't kill!"

"Get out of the car!"

The shouts rang out powerfully, and the driver in the car panicked. He glanced around with a pale face, opened the door without saying a word, and rushed out!

Inside the car, Zhang Ming was completely stunned. He grabbed Guizi Wu's arm and shouted, "Drive... back... back, back up!"

At this moment, Gu Baishun walked to the side of the car, leaned in, looked into the car, and pulled off the triangular scarf on his face, "Give me a gun!"

A Remington shotgun was placed in Gu Baishun's hand. He held the gun with one hand and pointed the muzzle at Zhang Ming's head, "No need to wait for Tan Mingchao! It will take him at least five minutes to get here after hearing the gunshots!"

"You... how could you...!"

Gu Baishun pointed the gun at Zhang Ming's head, "I dared to use my own arm to lure you out! Send people to your side. Would you dare to do that?!"

Zhang Ming was stunned and suddenly looked at Guizi Wu.

"No need to look, he's my man. I gave him Yu Zheng's seven million! He can keep the money he took from your side too." Gu Baishun poked Zhang Ming's head with the gun, "I risked my life to set a trap for you. How can you beat me?!"

"Gulp!" Zhang Ming swallowed.

"I can choose not to show my face, but the reason I showed up is to tell you!!" Gu Baishun said, word by word, "After my mother died!! I'm going to take back everything you extorted from my family all at once!!"

"Why... why didn't you do it at the conference hall?!" Zhang Ming was full of confusion, "Impossible... you...!"

Gu Baishun slowly leaned forward, "Old Li doesn't want the programmer association to be stained with blood again, and he doesn't want the conference to be disrupted because of you! So, I have to let you die outside the venue!! Let Tan Mingchao watch you ascend to heaven under his protection!! Understand?!"

Zhang Ming was stunned.

"Bang!!"

Gu Baishun shot the other man's head to pieces and turned to order, "Don't touch the scene. Let Chief Tan come and inspect it!"

"Disperse!" The burly man next to him waved his hand and shouted upstairs.

At the same time.

A fishing boat quickly returned from the high seas!
