Half an hour before the explosion.
Lu Huai pointed his gun at Dong Hongchang.
He cannot determine the time of the explosion, but he must kill Dong Hongchang before then.
But at the moment Lu Huai pulled the trigger, a knock on the door suddenly sounded behind him.
Lu Huai's movements stopped for a second.
In a short time, Dong Hongchang took the opportunity to run in the direction of the car window.
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
The sound of gunshots smashed the solemn air.
When Dong Hongchang jumped the window, Lu Huai hit his vitals.
Dong Hongchang's figure shook, but his movements were so fast that his figure disappeared from the window.
Lu Huai ran to the window, and the door of the car had been opened.
The staff quickly stepped forward to report the situation.
"San Shao, Mo Qinghan placed a fried dan in this carriage."
"There are only five minutes left."
Lu Huai's and Mo Qinghan's plans collided. Their goal was to assassinate Dong Hongchang.
They didn't expect it, but gave Dong Hongchang a chance.
Dong Hongchang has escaped, but there are already very few cards left in his hand.
Lu Huai asked in a deep voice, "Has the passengers dispersed?"
The subordinate replied: "Yes, Madam said it's time to leave."
"She is waiting for you in the hallway."
Lu Huai glanced, the carriage was empty.
He opened his mouth: "Let's go."
…
On the other side, Dong Hongchang was seriously injured and still had a strong will to survive.
After jumping off the train from the window, he staggered out and ran outside.
But he didn't leave for long, and there was an explosion behind him.
Dong Hongchang glanced back, his eyes cold.
Who did this explosion
He soon thought of a person, Mo Qinghan.
Mo Qinghan wanted to kill him, but he didn't know that Lu Huai was also on this train.
Their plans are different, and the only ones who benefited are themselves.
Dong Hongchang sneered, it seemed that he should never die.
If they could all die in the explosion, it would be even more beneficial to him.
Dong Hongchang covered his wound and continued to look for a way out until he saw a car in front of him.
At this moment, the car stopped suddenly.
The driver saw the flames blazing ahead and was about to turn around and leave here.
He got into the driver's seat, and before starting the car, a strange touch hit his neck.
The driver was stunned, his back was cold.
Dong Hongchang strangled his neck with a tie: "Drive to the nearest hospital."
The driver did not dare to say much, and the two of them immediately headed towards the hospital.
At the hospital, Dong Hongchang received treatment.
He did not stay here too much, but left the hospital that night.
At this critical moment, you must never reveal your whereabouts.
Dong Hongchang looked for an opportunity to contact a group of his men.
When they arrived, he asked the group to escort him to Peking.
Over the years, everything that Dong Hongchang has worked so hard to arrange was completely destroyed by Lu Huai.
The more at this time, the less he can panic.
Dong Hongchang knew that he only had the last card left.
Although this is an extremely dangerous move, no matter whether it succeeds or not, he must try it.
…
Peiping.
Liao's house.
In the middle of the night, the winter in Beiping gets colder and colder.
The night was heavy, and there was no star in the dark night sky.
Liao Zhongcheng is a high-ranking official in Peking. A while ago, his powerful gang Gu Renshan was arrested and imprisoned.
He is deeply worried and has been insomnia for some time.
Yesterday an official called Liao Zhongcheng and told him that someone wanted to see him.
After learning the identity of that person, Liao Zhongcheng quickly agreed to this meeting.
The chill in his eyes grew deeper.
Liao Zhongcheng naturally understood why Dong Hongchang wanted to see him.
In his eyes, Dong Hongchang has always been extremely restless.
Many years ago, when Dong Hongchang and Lu Zongting competed for Shanghai regulatory power, he did a lot of tricks.
The arrest of Gu Renshan is also related to Ji Manqing, who is next to Dong Hongchang.
Liao Zhongcheng's expression turned cold.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and the voice of the servant came over.
"Commissioner Liao, a guest is here."
Liao Zhongcheng said, "Let him in."
Dong Hongchang pushed in.
Although he was pushed back step by step by Lu Huai, his expression remained calm.
Dong Hongchang's tone was neither humble nor overbearing: "Commissioner Liao."
Liao Zhongcheng gave a cold smile: "Gu Jun Dong."
Dong Hongchang: "I'm here this time because I have something important to tell Committee Member Liao."
Liao Zhongcheng's eyes were extremely cold: "Let's not mention what you want to say."
"Ji Manqing died before being escorted to Peking."
He said again: "How do you explain this?"
Ji Manqing is one of the important witnesses in the corruption case of Gu Renshan.
But she died on the way to Peiping.
After thinking about it, Liao Zhongcheng will be able to understand that Dong Hongchang must have done this.
"Oh?" Dong Hongchang said, "How can you not see the stakes in this?"
"Gu Renshan is your person, if during the interrogation, Ji Manqing is successfully sent to Peking."
"What will happen next?"
Liao Zhongcheng did not answer.
Under his calm face, there was a faint trace of tension.
Dong Hongchang continued to analyze: "You have made many enemies."
"Your enemy will definitely take advantage of the problem and drag you into the water."
Liao Zhongcheng sneered: "You can't help but talk about the Beiping government."
Dong Hongchang lowered his stance: "But I understand that Committee Member Liao has nothing to do with this matter."
Facing Dong Hongchang's flattery, Liao Zhongcheng chose to remain silent.
Liao Zhongcheng understood very well.
Dong Hongchang, who is uncertain, will turn into a sharp blade at any time and stab him in the back.
At that time, Liao Zhongcheng did not know whether he could protect himself.
Dong Hongchang's tone was sincere: "So, I removed Ji Manqing for Committee Member Liao."
"I can guarantee that Gu Renshan's fall from the horse will never drag you down."
Liao Zhongcheng relaxed his mouth: "This is your mistake, and it should have been resolved by you."
Dong Hongchang was silent while observing Liao Zhongcheng's demeanor.
Soon, Liao Zhongcheng asked: "What is the purpose of Dong Junjun coming to Peiping?"
Dong Hongchang's heart was relieved.
Since Liao Zhongcheng took the initiative to ask, it proves that he has the intention of cooperation.
Dong Hongchang stated the true goal of this trip: "I want Shanghai."
Liao Zhongcheng was startled suddenly: "What?"
This person has such a big appetite that he wants to reach out to Shanghai.
It seems that for so many years, Dong Hongchang has been planning for a long time, and still has not been able to rest his mind.
Dong Hongchang said and said, "Qiao Yunsheng, the leader of Hongmen, is dead."
"Commissioner Liao knows the reason?"
Without waiting for Liao Zhongcheng to speak, Dong Hongchang continued.
"Older brothers' grievances and grievances have affected the current Hongmen."
"The turmoil in Hongmen has also affected Shanghai."
Dong Hongchang made perfect preparations just to persuade Liao Zhongcheng to discuss important matters with him.
"The existence of the Peace Hotel cannot stabilize the order in Shanghai."
Liao Zhongcheng finally said: "How can I decide Shanghai's ownership by myself?"
Dong Hongchang is not in a hurry: "If I get Shanghai Beach, I will make a guarantee."
Liao Zhongcheng looked at Dong Hongchang, as if to see through the secrets of his eyes.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and their feelings were obscured.
"Such benefits..." Dong Hongchang paused, "Don't you want to get a share of the pie?"
Liao Zhongcheng is not a saint, and in the face of huge interests, it is impossible for him not to be tempted.
He and Lu Zongting were not familiar with each other, they just met with the government a few times.
In fact, Liao Zhongcheng cannot intervene no matter who Shanghai belongs to.
But if it's the person who got Shanghai, he has a cooperative relationship with him...
Liao Zhongcheng thought about it.
He knew very well that cooperating with Dong Hongchang is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.
However, as long as he controls the overall situation, all errors and mistakes can be reduced to a minimum.
Between interest and innocence, Liao Zhongcheng's choice is already obvious.
What he wants is profit.
After a while, Liao Zhongcheng said, "What do you want to do?"
Dong Hongchang knew that Liao Zhongcheng had been completely tempted.
Dong Hongchang's eyes were firm: "Now draw up a proposal immediately and propose it to the Prime Minister."
"Shanghai's supervision needs to be replaced."
On a deep winter night, the cold wind was bitter and cold to the bones.
Those restless minds were all covered by the dark night.
…
After Dong Hongchang left, Liao Zhongcheng stayed up all night.
Liao Zhongcheng thought twice and drafted a proposal that night.
This proposal was placed in Liao Zhongcheng's study, and it was not turned in for a long time.
What he did not expect was that within a few days, the Peking government issued an announcement.
The content of this announcement was actually the same as their thoughts.
Temporarily cancel Lu Zongting's supervision over Shanghai.
The reason is very clear, and it is also because of the frequent occurrence of dangerous incidents in Shanghai in recent days.
The Peking government believes that Lu Zongting has not supervised Shanghai well.
Liao Zhongcheng has been in officialdom for many years, and he is extremely suspicious.
Why did things happen so coincidental, could someone manipulate it from behind
Is this a trap, or is he worrying too much
After thinking about it, Liao Zhongcheng quickly submitted a proposal.
No matter what the result is, give it a try.
But the decision on this matter also depends on the attitude of the boss.
Dong Hongchang's last move seems to have succeeded.
The cold wind blew through Beiping and it was biting.
This winter is too cold, it seems that even people's conscience is frozen.
The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.
But before the last moment, he will never give up.
