#341 - Chapter 341 You Can’t Come Up

"Qianhe, You Bei of the Shichuan Settlement was killed by Bo Qing. He must have sent people to take over the settlement. I mean, let's also send people over to intercept them. What do you think?" Gu Qianshan asked.

You Bei's Shichuan Settlement and Gu Qianshan's Shifo Settlement are both east of Golden City, while Bo Qing's Hekou Settlement and Pan Rong's Chenjing Settlement are west of Golden City. So, distance-wise, Gu Qianshan is closer to the Shichuan Settlement, and Bo Qing is farther away.

"Brother, what's your plan?" Gu Qianhe asked.

"Bo Qing is the mayor of Golden City. He can easily fabricate a crime for You Bei and rightfully take back the settlement. If we go and snatch it, we won't have a legitimate reason, and the people in the settlement won't listen to us. So, we have to come up with a story," Gu Qianshan said.

"That's easy. We expose Bo Qing's murder of You Bei and see who still listens to him," Gu Qianhe said.

"You're thinking too simply. You Bei's death might be welcomed by others in the settlement, as it means they have a chance to rise in the ranks. So, trying to sow discord with that might not work," Gu Qianshan said.

"Yeah, so what do we do? We can't just let that old guy Bo Qing benefit for nothing, right?" Gu Qianhe asked.

"If we want to sow discord, it has to be tied to their vital interests. You do this..." Gu Qianshan leaned close to Gu Qianhe and whispered.

"I think it'll work!" Gu Qianhe agreed after listening.

"Good, then let's do it. Time is of the essence, so hurry and take people over there," Gu Qianshan instructed.

"Okay, I'll leave right away."

After Gu Qianhe finished speaking, he left in a hurry with Little White Dragon and a group of subordinates.

The Shichuan Settlement was only 20 kilometers away from the Shifo Settlement, but because of the time wasted dealing with the people sent by Bo Qing, they were still late.

When Gu Qianhe and his group arrived, the Shichuan Settlement was already holding a mobilization meeting.

The staff of the settlement's temporary command team were on the high platform in the square, shouting and promoting the benefits of returning to Golden City, with a dozen men with guns standing quietly behind them.

Clearly, this was forcing the ducks onto the rack.

"Folks, Mayor Bo said that as long as everyone is willing to return to Golden City, you can choose any house you want, first come, first served!" the staff member said.

"I used to have five houses in Golden City. Will those houses still be mine after I go back?" someone in the audience asked loudly.

"This..." The staff member was stumped and looked back at the people sent by Bo Qing for an answer.

"As long as everyone's property ownership certificate is still there, the house will still belong to whoever it belongs to," a staff member sent by Bo Qing stepped forward to answer.

"Isn't that just saying the same thing as not saying anything? If I still had the property ownership certificate, I wouldn't be asking," the person who asked the question complained.

"Comrade, if you don't have a property ownership certificate, how can you prove that the house is yours? If everyone did that, wouldn't it be a mess?" the staff member retorted.

"I bought the house myself, how can it not be mine? This won't do, I don't agree!" the person who asked the question stated.

With someone taking the lead, others echoed, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

It was also because Bo Qing was a little too anxious and didn't arrange these details properly.

"Bang ~" A gunshot rang out.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

"Shut up! What are you arguing about?" a gunman shouted.

"Who told you to shoot? Put the gun away! If there's a riot, can you take responsibility for it?" a staff member who came with him scolded.

The gunman quickly apologized and put away the gun.

"Folks, what I mean is that everyone should go back to the city first. After returning, everyone should go back to their own homes first and give priority to choosing their own houses. If there are any disputes in the middle, then find our headquarters to mediate. Does everyone think this will work?" the staff member shouted.

His real idea was to trick everyone back to the city first, regardless of the consequences. After returning, he would slowly deal with anyone who caused trouble.

"I don't agree!" someone shouted from a distance.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and the leader who shouted was leading a group of subordinates to climb onto the high platform.

The person who came was Gu Qianhe.

"Stop! You can't come up!" the staff member shouted.

Without saying a word, the people behind Gu Qianhe raised their guns as a warning.

The gunmen sent by Bo Qing also hurriedly raised their guns when they saw this scene.

However, Gu Qianhe did not stop but continued to walk towards the center of the high platform.

The two sides confronted each other, and no one dared to shoot first.

"Folks, let me introduce myself. I'm Gu Qianhe from the Shifo Settlement. Gu Qianshan is my brother. I came here today to bring you all a message, but I didn't expect to be a step late," Gu Qianhe said loudly.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Gu Qianshan was, after all, the leader of a settlement. Most people, even if they didn't know him, had heard of him.

"Today! I risked my life to come here! Just to tell everyone one thing! Your settlement's team leader, You Bei, was shot and killed by that Bo Qing! He's a hypocrite, a heinous murderer, everyone must not be fooled by him!" Gu Qianhe released explosive news, and the stage immediately became chaotic.

"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about? Arrest him!" The staff member sent by Bo Qing was shocked and hurriedly tried to stop him.
