#342 - Chapter 342 Let’s put it aside for now
“Bang, bang, bang ~”
Ding Yuwen made his move.
The people sent by Bo Qing had their wrists injured, and all their guns fell from their hands.
Gu Qianhe's men quickly stepped forward and subdued them all.
“Gu Qianhe, do you know what you're doing? You're violating the city's orders and openly instigating your subordinates to commit violence. Even your brother will be implicated!” The leading staff member shouted.
“Everyone, don't panic, listen to me carefully. My brother, Gu Qianshan, was also plotted against by Bo Qing and almost lost his life in Hekou Ancient Town. As soon as he returned to the resettlement camp, he immediately sent me here to inform everyone of this news, because he was worried that you would be deceived.” Gu Qianhe shouted.
The crowd did not quiet down, constantly communicating with each other, saying all sorts of things.
The staff members of the Shichuan Resettlement Camp on the stage didn't know who was telling the truth and who was lying, so they could only stand there dumbfounded and watch.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qianhe finally realized how right his brother was. You Bei's death was not enough to convince the people of the resettlement camp of his words.
“Before I came, my brother also told me a major piece of news. He said that the mayor of Gold City, Bo Qing, is colluding with a cult. This time, he's deceiving you into going back so he can use you to feed the zombies. I, on behalf of the Shifo Resettlement Camp, declare on the spot that we will draw a clear line with Bo Qing and will never help him do evil.” Gu Qianhe said pretentiously and nonsensically.
“You're talking nonsense…” The leading staff member was about to refute when he was directly knocked unconscious with a gun butt.
“Folks, now that our resettlement camp's leader has been killed, this place is no longer safe. Now, listen to my orders. Those who are willing to go to the Shifo Resettlement Camp, please move to the left. Those who want to go to Gold City, stay where you are and wait for orders. Time is limited, everyone, act quickly!” Gu Qianhe winked at a staff member from the original resettlement camp, and that staff member stepped forward and shouted.
Everyone looked at each other, hesitant and indecisive, and only a small number of people moved to the left.
The other management personnel of the resettlement camp looked at each other, not knowing how to choose for a moment.
“Everyone, I've made my words very clear. If you're willing to go to Gold City to feed the zombies, I won't force you. But as the saying goes, many hands make light work. If you want to fight against Bo Qing, you also need everyone's cooperation. If you're not united, there's only a dead end. Think about it yourselves.” Gu Qianhe walked up to the staff members and reasoned with them, appealing to their emotions.
“Did Leader You really die?” A staff member asked cautiously.
“Is there any falsehood to that? If my brother hadn't pretended to compromise, he would already be dead in Hekou.” Gu Qianhe confirmed.
“Okay, we'll go to Shifo with you!” The staff member made up his mind.
Gu Qianhe lied that Bo Qing was colluding with a cult, and coupled with the fact that everyone was still wary of returning to the city, this led to the fact that everyone actually had no choice. If they didn't go to Shifo, they could only wait for death.
Since there was no choice, then clearly stating their position might lead to being valued after arriving in Shifo. If they were still hesitant at this time, they might not even have the chance to drink soup.
Persuading these resettlement camp staff members was equivalent to taking down the entire resettlement camp.
With the joint efforts of the staff members, the people began to gradually move towards Shifo.
… …
After leaving the Hekou Resettlement Camp, Pan Rong found an opportunity to escape along the way.
Fortunately, his Chenjing Resettlement Camp was less than 20 kilometers away from the Hekou Resettlement Camp. He walked on foot and finally returned safely in the afternoon.
However, it was all too late.
After learning that Pan Rong had escaped, Bo Qing had already appointed a new person in charge and completely taken over the resettlement camp.
Originally, his subordinates were not very convinced of him, and at this moment, with a change of leadership, few people objected.
In this way, Pan Rong's power was easily deprived, and even he was arrested the moment he arrived at the resettlement camp.
After learning that You Bei's Shichuan Resettlement Camp had been intercepted by Gu Qianshan midway, Bo Qing was extremely angry. However, the most important thing at the moment was to move the people from the Hekou and Chenjing resettlement camps back to Gold City, and the matter of dealing with Gu Qianshan could only be put aside for the time being.
… …
9:00 AM, August 28, 2055 AD.
Binjiang City, Headquarters of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.
Today, many people came to the Chamber of Commerce.
The joint investigation team composed of personnel drawn from the Civil Affairs Department, the Military Affairs Department, the Finance Department, the Energy Department, the Culture Department, and the Land Administration Department came uninvited. The leader was Jing Cheng, a member of the council and the director of the Culture Department.
The entire investigation team consisted of more than 60 people.
After receiving the news, Niu Xingwang came out to greet them in person.
“You must be President Niu Xingwang, right? I've heard so much about you. I'm here on short notice today, I hope you don't mind.” Jing Cheng showed a kind smile on his face, gentle and refined. After seeing Niu Xingwang, he took the initiative to shake hands.
Jing Cheng was almost 70 years old, with gray hair.
“May I ask who you are…?” Niu Xingwang asked, not knowing who the person was.
“Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Jing Cheng, and I am currently serving as the Director of the Culture Department.” Jing Cheng introduced.
“Oh! So it's Councilor Jing, my respects, my respects!” Seeing that Jing Cheng was in such a high position and still so polite, Niu Xingwang bent over and shook hands cordially.
