Bai shook his head and said, "I have to stop you!"
Meng Hu said: "Come on then!"
Bai snorted coldly and kicked continuously. A solemn look flashed in Meng Hu's eyes. From the angle and speed of Bai's kicks, it could be seen that he was a top master.
In a battle between top masters, no one can guarantee victory.
Meng Hu chose a moment and slapped Bai's feet. Bai was blocked by a huge force and deviated from his original direction, but he reacted quickly and kicked several times from the side and back. Meng Hu's back was always straight. He made accurate judgments every time. His seemingly slow but heavy palms slapped out every time, perfectly dispelling Bai's attacks and making him lose his sense of fluidity.
Bai felt very uncomfortable. He felt that every kick he made was like a kick towards a towering mountain. Meng Hu's counterattack made him feel a heavy pressure.
Meng Hu gradually became familiar with Bai's attack speed and methods. His defense method also became more offensive. In addition to palm strikes, he would also punch. Bai could feel the intimidation from the strong wind from his punches, so he had to temporarily avoid the edge.
In just a few seconds, Meng Hu had arrived at the elevator door, and Bai had no ability to stop Meng Hu from moving forward.
Meng Hu pressed the elevator button slowly and walked into the elevator. With a cold look in his eyes, he said, "This account will be settled one day!"
The elevator door closed, Bai helplessly watched Meng Hu's face disappear, and subconsciously took a few steps back. For him, the most terrifying thing was not death, but the loss of courage and faith. When facing Meng Hu, he did not have the slightest desire to win, and felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Yue, the plan has failed. We seriously injured Monkey, but we didn't keep him. Meng Hu arrived in time and took him away." Bai took out his cell phone and reported truthfully.
Wang Guoyue frowned and asked, "What's the situation here?"
"Four people were seriously injured!" Bai said with a dry throat. Bai did not expect this result, especially when Meng Hu suddenly appeared and took the monkey away, which made everything in vain.
Wang Guoyue exhaled lightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I know this is not your fault. Your team has suffered heavy losses. You will arrive in Jidong tomorrow. The family will arrange a new team to replace you."
Bai didn't think Wang Guoyue was comforting him, but indirectly giving up on him. He insisted: "Master Yue, give us some time, we can still fight!"
Wang Guoyue waved his hand and said helplessly: "If you fail once, there will be a second time. The talk of a comeback is just a lie to deceive people. The strong will only become stronger, and the weak will only become weaker."
Bai said discouragedly, "I will get discharged from the army when I return to Jidong."
Wang Guoyue comforted him, "You have been with me for a long time. I will help you make arrangements. For you, isn't it a relief to be discharged from the army?"
After hanging up the phone with Wang Guoyue, Bai looked at the messy scene and smiled at himself. From that moment on, he suddenly felt sad.
He knew the way out for himself and his buddies. Although they were said to be discharged from the army, they were actually placed in a closed environment by the Wang family. Because a lot of the work they did could not be put on the table, the Wang family would not give them freedom in order to keep them under control and keep them secret.
In a closed environment, Bai will live a boring life until he dies.
Chapter 0972: Counterattacks from Other Levels
At the municipal party committee standing committee meeting, the two resolutions on the establishment of the New City District Management Committee and the Old City District Promotion Committee were unexpectedly passed. Two candidates who were not prominent at first stood out, and one of them was a cadre selected from the Provincial Economic and Information Commission. Wang Guoyue behaved a little abnormally at the meeting. Qu Kang presided over the meeting. Usually, there would be 40 to 50 minutes of analysis in the summary meeting, but he skipped this process.
Chang Mengyuan followed Qu Kang out of the meeting room and whispered, "Mayor Qu, the secretary doesn't seem to be in a very good mood today." Chang Mengyuan said this with a hint of sarcasm. The local faction headed by Qu Kang made moves on two projects to cooperate with Fang Zhicheng to achieve his intentions.
The director of the New City District Management Committee was Zhang Xiaoliang, deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. He was Fang Zhicheng's trusted general, and his success in running the project gave Fang Zhicheng more power. The director of the Old City District Reconstruction Promotion Committee was transferred from the former deputy mayor of Dongcheng District. This cadre's resume was intriguing. He was originally a retired soldier and belonged to Chen Yuejin's faction.
So on the whole, Fang Zhicheng has gained absolute control over the two projects this time.
The reason for this result was that Qu Kang helped secretly, and Guan Ruofei's attitude towards this matter was ambiguous, which caught Wang Guoyue off guard.
Arriving at Chang Mengyuan's office, Qu Kang and Chang Mengyuan sat down to discuss this change in detail. Qu Kang said, "Everyone underestimated Fang Zhicheng's power, which can be seen from the attitude of the Shao family. The Shao family has now taken the initiative to show goodwill to Fang and asked us to firmly support Fang Zhicheng's various decisions. With the support of the Shao family, Wang Guoyue's current situation is very delicate. He seems to be in control of everything, but in fact he has lost everything."
Chang Mengyuan smiled slightly and said, "Guan Ruofei is Wang Guoyue's confidant. Why didn't he give Wang Guoyue any signal during this decision?"
Qu Kang shook his head and said, "You don't think Guan Ruofei really betrayed Wang Guoyue, do you?"
Chang Mengyuan analyzed: "This may be acting. Wang Guoyue knows very well that he cannot get the greatest support during this fight, so he let Guan Ruofei make a feint. Judging from the intelligence from some time ago, Fang Zhicheng has been trying to alienate Wang Guoyue and Guan Ruofei."
Qu Kang nodded and said, "This is a bit like a self-torture tactic, letting Guan Ruofei win Fang Zhicheng's trust, and then turning against him at the critical moment."
Chang Mengyuan said: "In short, now we are just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight! A few days ago, the two of them fought in secret, and an important force under Fang Zhicheng was framed by someone arranged by Wang Guoyue. Although it is not a fight in the open, the confrontation in secret has reached a very dangerous level."
Qu Kang waved his hand and said, "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. We must make some preparations now. They can fight, but Cao Yao's overall situation cannot be disrupted."
Chang Mengyuan understood Qu Kang's intention. As the deputy leader of Cao Yao's team, Qu Kang had to fully ensure the stability of the situation. Qu Kang was able to gradually become the middle force of the local faction. He had a strong sense of responsibility and his own personal charm.
Chang Mengyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although our personnel have retreated, the core resources are still in our hands. Even if there are drastic changes, we can guarantee a safe retreat."
Qu Kang's eyes lit up, he glanced at Chang Mengyuan, and whispered, "You have to be careful and have less contact with those bad friends. The reconstruction of the old city will be taken over by Zhao Biao, who came from the military. The signal is very clear that a group of problematic people will be dug out."
Chang Mengyuan thought of this and showed a vigilant look on his face. He said, "Don't worry, I will take care of these things."
Qu Kang knows Chang Mengyuan very well. He is a very scheming cadre. Although he has a wide circle of friends, he is still very sensible and will not do anything that will harm his future.
Qu Kang stayed for a while, then stood up and left. Chang Mengyuan accompanied him to the car and watched it slowly drive away. Chang Mengyuan said to himself expressionlessly: "No one wants to be a puppet forever!"
Chang Mengyuan did not go back to his office directly, but walked out of the compound, hailed a taxi, and gave the other party an address. Half an hour later, the car stopped at an inconspicuous teahouse. Going up to the second-floor box of the teahouse, there was already someone sitting inside. Chang Mengyuan smiled and said, "Old Chen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Chen Zhen, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, sat at the tea table and said with a smile: "Although the teahouse is small, the tea here is really good."
Chang Mengyuan said with a half-smile: "The key is to be quiet!"
Chen Zhen nodded and gave Chang Mengyuan a cup of tea. Chang Mengyuan drank it all and said, "Tell me, what are your plans now?"
Chen Zhen lowered his voice and said, "There are already flaws in the relationship between Wang Guoyue and Guan Ruofei. During this period, Wang Guoyue has been asking me about my surveillance of Guan Ruofei every day."
