The war outside Dragon City lasted all night.
That night, the First Corps of Zone 1 continued to advance towards Longcheng under the joint attack of air and armored forces.
In Longcheng, the garrison and An troops relied on a series of defense lines to barely block the offensive rhythm of the First Corps, but suffered considerable losses.
When the sky was getting light, Area 1 finally slowed down its attack and set up camp to repair and replenish. Dragon City also took a breath and began to check the battlefield and treat the wounded.
The garrison headquarters was brightly lit all night long, and officers held combat meetings one after another, thinking about response plans.
Not only them, but also the people of Longcheng were in great pain that night. Under the cover of war, countless people did not sleep all night.
All over the Internet, everyone was eagerly following this war, discussing the final outcome of the war, and some even predicted how many days it would take for District One to conquer Dragon City... Various topics emerged one after another.
…
The next morning, Longcheng Comprehensive Bureau.
The staff in the bureau had been busy all night, and the building was full of busy figures early in the morning.
In the conference room, Xiao Zhang, the chief of the Intelligence Department, the chief of the Interrogation Department, Qiu Ge and others have arrived and are waiting for the meeting.
Everyone was sitting around a long table, exchanging information and discussing something in low voices.
Brother Qiu looked at the results he had achieved that night and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, feeling a bit troubled.
Just at this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Gu Baishun changed into a clean set of clothes and walked in with a serious expression.
"Director Gu!"
Everyone stood up and greeted Gu Baishun.
"Well, sit down."
Gu Baishun replied calmly and sat down at the top seat first.
Brother Qiu took a look and found that Gu Baishun had a stern face and had obviously adjusted his mood.
Gu Baishun bent down and sat in the main seat. He slowly looked around at everyone and first boosted morale: "After a busy night, everyone must be very tired. But the situation in Longcheng is critical now, and we must work together to overcome the difficulties. I have applied to the higher-ups, and everyone will enjoy triple salary during this period. After the crisis is over, there will also be a bonus."
"Thank you, Director Gu!"
Everyone felt relieved.
"Okay, let's have a meeting then."
Gu Baishun's eyes fell on the head of the information section and asked, "Xiao Li, tell me about the situation on your side. Is there any progress on Shang Shixun's side?"
Section Chief Li sighed softly, "This kid is very stubborn. We interrogated him all night, using all kinds of methods and torture, but he just wouldn't utter a word! Moreover, Shang Shixun has some self-harm tendencies. He tried to commit suicide several times, including hitting his head against the wall and biting his tongue. We had no choice but to give him anesthesia to calm him down. In the end, he said...!"
Gu Baishun intervened and looked at him: "What did you say?"
Section Chief Li hesitated for a moment and said, "This guy told us not to dream anymore. He would never confess even if he died. And even if he turned into ashes, he would curse the people of Longcheng to die a miserable death."
After listening to this, Gu Baishun commented calmly: "This is the only character left for a dying man."
Brother Qiu said at the side: "The Shang family is completely finished. Shang Shixun's hatred for our Longcheng is almost irreconcilable. Fortunately, the others are not so difficult to deal with. They have vomited what they should. We have compiled some information for you to take a look."
As he spoke, Brother Qiu handed a document to Gu Baishun. He was not idle that night, and personally participated in some interrogations, prying open the mouths of many people.
Gu Baishun took the documents and flipped through them. One of the documents was a list of people involved in the case related to the business that everyone had reported. After the list was compiled, it filled up two A4 sheets of paper.
Seeing these lists, Gu Baishun frowned and said nothing.
Brother Qiu guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but say, "This is just the first round of confessions. There are still many people who haven't been tried yet. I guess there will be more later."
Gu Baishun took the information and sat in the chair, thinking for a long time.
Everyone was waiting nearby, not daring to make a sound to disturb them.
After a while, Gu Baishun finally raised his head, looked at Brother Qiu and ordered: "Look, you go and pick out some people you are familiar with from the An faction, and form an action team of 100 people for me. Do this as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Then don't do anything for the next two days, and take your people with you to stay in our General Administration Bureau."
"No problem." Brother Qiu nodded and began to silently draw up a rough list in his mind.
After giving the instructions, Gu Baishun turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhang, the head of the Intelligence Department, and continued to instruct: "Gather two hundred people from your Intelligence Department. I need them."
"Okay!" Xiao Zhang agreed, but hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Director Gu, what about the action team..."
Although he didn't finish his words, Gu Baishun understood what he meant. He pondered for a while, and responded calmly: "Don't worry about the action team for now. First, you should recruit people, then clean up the warehouse behind the Quantong Bureau, and prepare for a secret meeting in the afternoon. Remember, the people who appear in the meeting must be the core members of our bureau and the security department, and before the meeting, the communication system must be controlled to block contact with the outside world, understand?"
Xiao Zhang nodded immediately: "I understand."
"besides… "
Gu Baishun sat in the conference room and explained some things to everyone.
The meeting lasted for about an hour. After the meeting, everyone left and started to do their own work.
Gu Baishun stayed in the conference room alone and thought for a long time.
Xiao Zhang's suggestion made sense. With Brother Guo gone, Gu Baishun needed a strong action leader who was practical, reliable, and loyal...
Thinking of the final result, Gu Baishun took out his mobile phone and called Su Tianyu for about ten minutes, explaining the current situation and asking the other party to come over.
…
A little after two o'clock in the afternoon, in the compound of the Bureau of General Affairs.
“Squeak—”
A military vehicle from the Bureau of Terrorism and Violence arrived at the gate of the compound, and soon after, a burly man in a neat military uniform jumped out of the vehicle with a dozen soldiers.
“Bang!”
When the guards at the door of the Bureau of General Affairs saw him, they all raised their hands and saluted.
The man nodded at them and walked into the building with his men. Then he walked through the long corridor and came to the large warehouse at the back.
There were already quite a few people standing in the warehouse, including Brother Qiu, who was sitting on a stool and smoking.
“Crash!”
The door was suddenly opened, and seeing the sturdy man walking in, Brother Qiu was stunned and couldn't help but stand up and said, "Why are you here?"
Before the man could answer, Gu Baishun also walked in and said to Brother Qiu: "I transferred him here."
