At 7:30 in the evening, the entire Dragon City was in chaos.
In every district and on almost every street, there were people protesting, and the city's streets and alleys were filled with the sound of gunfire.
The shops, restaurants and other businesses along the street were closed one after another. Ordinary people did not dare to go out at this time. They all hid at home watching the news and various related live broadcasts, suffering in fear.
At the same time, several military vehicles were driving quickly along a street. This street was relatively remote, but shouts and gunshots could still be heard in the distance.
Shang Shixun sat in the car, looking a little anxious, and made a phone call in an urgent tone: "Dad, we must have a traitor here! We are not fully prepared yet, and just as we started to make efforts, Gu Baishun had already cleared the market! Now the situation is a little out of control, we can only wait for the action outside the first area! Get ready, I will pick you up right now, we have to hide. If it doesn't work, we can only find a way to get out of the city!"
The person Shang Shixun was contacting was his father, Shang Yao, the former director of Longcheng Police Station.
At this time, Shang Yao was in Longcheng Prison. Since he was arrested by Su Tianyu last time, he was spared from death because Wang Changli and other senior officials of the administrative department tried their best to protect him, but he has been under house arrest.
Due to the short time, Shang Yao's case has not yet been fully sentenced, but considering his special circumstances, he was transferred to Longcheng Prison for "house arrest".
After all, he was a meritorious official, and a politician still had to have some dignity, so even if he was sent to Longcheng Prison, he was locked up in a separate small building. The house was fully equipped with living facilities, it was very clean, and there was a special person to take care of Shang Yao's life.
During this period, Shang Yao behaved very low-key, drinking tea and reading the news every day.
Shang Yao did not say anything. There was a silence on the phone. Shang Shixun tugged at his collar in annoyance. According to his original plan, he wanted to wait until Longcheng was in chaos, and then he could rely on his own people in the prison to smoothly get the old man out.
But he never expected that Gu Baishun had already cleaned up the mess with ruthless force before any commotion even occurred, causing him to be in a very difficult situation now, with all his previous plans coming to nothing.
Why didn’t the old man get out before
In fact, it is very simple. If Shang Yao had disappeared from the prison before, then with the occurrence of a series of events, Longcheng would immediately identify Shang Yao as an insider.
Therefore, this is a gamble, although it is very risky. But for Shang Yao, who has been under house arrest, and the entire suppressed business community, this risk is obviously acceptable.
Shang Yao sat in the bedroom, thinking for a long time, and then slowly said to the phone: "You don't have to come, and don't let the receptionist pick me up. Whoever you ask to pick me up now will be harming them. Gu Baishun's complete liquidation means that they have already locked on us."
Shang Shixun was stunned and said hurriedly: "Dad..."
Shang Yao interrupted him: "Don't worry, listen to me. Go to the garrison right now and find the person I asked you to contact before. He will arrange for you. Next, don't be impatient, and don't worry about me. Wait for the result of the military control of Longcheng by District 1. Old Tan has not expressed his position yet. Longcheng is extremely uncertain. Temporary gains and losses cannot determine anything. We still have a chance."
Shang Shixun was getting anxious: "But..."
Shang Yao interrupted again, "Okay, Xiaoxun, I'm already a useless person now. Nothing will get worse than it is now. Don't worry about me. Just do as I say."
Shang Shixun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and after a long silence, he finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Okay..."
The two hung up the phone, and Shang Shixun turned around and told the driver to drive the convoy in the direction of the garrison.
…
Half an hour later, Longcheng along the coastal road.
The whole road has become quiet, with a large number of military vehicles parked around, cleaning up the scene.
In one of the military vehicles, Gu Baishun, who had just dealt with the incident in Fugang District, was holding a walkie-talkie and asking about the situation in the other five districts.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
At this moment, a rapid phone ring rang. Gu Baishun picked up the phone and took a quick look. He found that it was Guo Zhengdao calling, and immediately answered the call: "Hello?"
Guo Zhengdao immediately said, "Director Gu, I have a problem here."
Gu Baishun frowned and asked, "What's the situation?"
Guo Zhengdao explained: "Originally, I wanted to lay out the clues and wait for him to contact more people and lead the prison out. Unexpectedly, Shang Shixun suddenly changed his route halfway and did not go to find his father."
Gu Baishun thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where he is now?"
"I know." Guo Zhengdao said hesitantly, "But... this place is a bit tricky."
Gu Baishun asked, "How is it so difficult?"
Guo Zhengdao said in a serious tone: "He went to the Military Inspection Department compound under the garrison headquarters."
Hearing this place, Gu Baishun couldn't help but be stunned. This Military Inspection Department is a relatively core department in the garrison system. He had guessed before that someone from the garrison was involved in this matter, but he didn't expect the relationship to be so deep.
Guo Zhengdao was also undecided, so he had to ask, "Director Gu, what should we do next?"
After pondering for a long time, Gu Baishun said, "Then don't touch him for the time being, and don't force him. Just keep a close watch on all the exits of the Military Inspection Department compound, and don't let Shang Shixun take the opportunity to escape."
Guo Zhengdao immediately replied: "I understand. I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on this place."
"We have done what we should do..." Gu Baishun glanced out the window and said slowly, "We need to wait for a result now."
Guo Zhengdao was stunned: "What result are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the result from the other side of the border." Gu Baishun explained: "I think Shang Shixun should be waiting for this result now."
"I see. I'll go set it up first."
"Well, go ahead and be safe."
After they finished talking, they hung up the phone.
Gu Baishun thought for a moment, then turned to the driver and said, "Drive to the administrative building. I want to see Mayor Li."
"yes."
The driver nodded and started the car.
Several military vehicles immediately followed behind to protect Gu Baishun's safety.
In the car, Gu Baishun thought about it and made another call.
The call was quickly connected, and An Zecheng's voice rang out: "Hello?"
Gu Baishun asked directly: "General An, the city is now under my control temporarily, but it is only a temporary appearance. Whether there will be any movement depends entirely on the results of the border line!"
An Zecheng said without hesitation: "The results here will be here soon. I have received accurate information that the First Corps of District 1 has already moved!"
Gu Baishun nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
The two ended the call.
…
At the border of Longcheng, Tan Mingchao, wearing a military uniform and sitting in a military vehicle, was rushing towards the garrison's defense zone!
