11:30 pm, in a bar in Daokou District.
Yang Dong looked at the call from Zhang Ming and did not answer it immediately. Instead, he pressed the mute button.
There is no doubt that Zhang Ming must have received the news of Yu Zheng's tragic death and Gu Baishun's serious injury by now. He must have called to inquire about the news from me.
Yang Dong didn't plan to answer it, but sat on the sofa and continued waiting.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Yang Dong glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
"Boss, the news is confirmed. Gu Baishun is in the People's Hospital. He was shot twice, one in the upper left chest and one in the left arm." The voice on the phone was fast: "The situation is very dangerous at the moment. Jin Maohui, the captain of Lao Li's terrorist squad, has gone there, and people from the Longkou District Police Department have also gone there."
Yang Dong was silent for a while: "Are you sure?"
"You said you wanted accurate information, so I asked someone to contact an anesthesiologist in the hospital. He is on duty tonight and he told me the details. There will be no mistakes." The other party replied.
"Okay, I got it." Yang Dong immediately hung up the phone, got up and walked back to the office.
In the office, Guiziwu was eating a fruit plate: "Have you finished the call, Brother Yang? Haha, I didn't fool you, did I?!"
Yang Dong looked at him, bent down and sat on the sofa, pointed at Yu Zheng's head and said, "We can talk, but the story has to be changed. This will be good for both you and me."
"Then tell me what the story is?" asked Guiziwu with a smile.
…
At 12:20 in the middle of the night, in Zhang Ming's office at the garrison headquarters.
Yang Dong looked at Tan Mingchao, the garrison chief of staff Lao Zhang, and Zhang Ming, the president of the Coders Association, and said in a steady voice, "Yes, I did it."
"You did it?!" Zhang Ming stretched his neck, looking shocked.
"Ah!" Yang Dong nodded slowly, smiled and looked at Tan Mingchao and Lao Zhang and said, "Our Chief Tan was upset before, thinking that Old Yu deserved to be punished. To be honest, I was also annoyed by this fence-sitter, and just when an opportunity arose... I asked someone to deal with him. But I didn't expect that Gu Baishun and Wei Xiangzuo were also present today, and the gunman saw an opportunity and shot them a few times."
Chief of Staff Lao Zhang looked at Yang Dong and said, "Why didn't you give me a heads up?"
“Haha, Chief of Staff, I don’t know if this can be done. I’m afraid that if I tell you in advance, it will make everyone excited, and then the whole thing will be messed up… and I won’t be able to explain it to you.” Yang Dong chuckled and replied, “As long as the result is good, that’s fine.”
"Where is the gunman?" asked Tan Mingchao.
"I'm waiting in the car downstairs." Yang Dong replied.
"Ha ha!"
After hearing this, Tan Mingchao laughed and stood up and said, "What a relief! Many people outside tried to catch Yu Zheng but failed. We never expected that he would be caught by our own brothers. Old Yang, this was done beautifully!"
Zhang Ming glanced at Yang Dong suspiciously: "Who did this? Do I know him?"
"The former Guiziwu from the project department has been in contact with me." Yang Dong replied.
Zhang Ming nodded and said nothing more.
"This is really a comfortable thing to do!" Chief of Staff Lao Zhang also laughed: "This Yu was killed when he was playing an important role. I guess Lao Li will be very disgusted! Haha, his face must be green now."
"Yes, and he shot Gu Baishun twice." Zhang Ming also echoed: "It would be even more beautiful if this little wolf cub died too. Wei Xiangzuo alone would definitely not be able to stop us."
Tan Mingchao was very satisfied because he didn't care how Yu Zheng died, and he didn't even consider how Yang Dong did it.
None of this matters! What matters is that Yu Zheng is currently playing an important role on Lao Li's side. His sudden death is very beneficial to him. Secondly, this can also serve as a warning to those fence-sitters who tend to support Lao Li, and it can also boost their morale.
This is an absolutely favorable result!
Tan Mingchao smiled and walked around the room twice, then pointed at Yang Dong and praised him again: "You did a great job. Old Zhang will definitely achieve great things with your help!"
Yang Dong grinned and immediately replied: "Besides this, there is another happy event."
"Haha, there are unexpected surprises? Tell me about it!"
"The reason why Guiziwu was willing to contact me was because Yu Zheng was too stingy with him." Yang Dong said softly, "In terms of recruiting people, Guiziwu did a lot of running errands for Yu Zheng, but that old bastard only gave him a total of 200,000 yuan in bribes. You say... Isn't this just giving away beggars?"
Zhang Ming sneered when he heard this: "Yu Zheng has always done things in this style."
"Commander Tan, Guizi Wu not only killed someone, but also brought more than a hundred votes. These are the people he recruited himself." Yang Dong stood up and said, "Although they are scattered votes, the number is not small."
"This guy is quite smart!" Tan Mingchao was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "He killed someone and brought a ticket with him. I think I can use it!"
"Then should I call him up to talk?" Yang Dong asked tentatively.
"Call him up and sit down and have some tea together." Tan Mingchao nodded in response.
"Okay!" Yang Dong replied, then immediately pushed the door and left the room.
"That's good. I've been suppressed for so long, and I finally got rid of my anger." Tan Mingchao bent down and sat down, turned his head and looked at Zhang Ming and asked, "Have you asked the hospital?"
"I asked." Zhang Ming replied immediately: "Gu Baishun is in trouble... Lao Li's secretary Li Yuan has called a professor from the People's Hospital to perform surgery on him, and he hasn't left the operating room yet!"
The smile on Tan Mingchao's face slowly disappeared, and he said with clear thoughts: "If this is the case, then we have to change our strategy."
"What strategy?"
"Stop defending and take the initiative to attack! While Gu Baishun is seriously injured and Yu Zheng is dead, we should take the lead in holding a meeting. If possible, kick out the branches in Zhannan and Longkou districts." Tan Mingchao frowned and said, "In this way, it will be useless to wait for them to recover! If the branch is kicked out, Wei Xiangzuo will completely lose the qualification to run for election."
"Seconds," Zhang Ming's eyes lit up: "What a good idea!"
While everyone was discussing, Yang Dong brought Guiziwu upstairs.
"Commander Tan, Chief of Staff, Chairman Zhang, this is the Guiziwu I mentioned, the deputy manager of the project department of our Coders Association." Yang Dong introduced.
"Hello, officers!" Guizi Wu greeted everyone politely, and immediately praised Yang Dong: "I do this according to Brother Yang's orders."
"Sit down and have some tea!"
Yu Zheng’s death was like a stone thrown into the sea, splashing many ripples at irregular intervals.
Nothing in this world is more complicated than the human heart.
Yang Dong's ability to seize opportunities and Guiziwu's ability to tell the story according to the script both clearly illustrate the greed and fickleness of human nature.
…
The next day.
Su Tianyu returned to Longcheng and went straight to the hospital.
