The Supervisory Committee.

Guo, the Deputy Director of the Police Department, stood in the empty stairwell, holding his phone and saying to Lin You, "Yes, Director, Riel has already decided, and Baolong Mining has agreed to do it. With the support of the Supervisory Committee's upper echelons, our Police Department only needs to assist."

Lin You remained silent.

"Riel also said that we all believe in the same God. If the Supervisory Committee is doing well, everyone will benefit. If the Supervisory Committee isn't doing well, and Li Mingsheng manages to gain a foothold in Dragon City again, then no one will be able to prosper." Deputy Director Guo paused, and then said from his own perspective, "We're already on this ship, and it's difficult to withdraw. Think about it, if Li Mingsheng gains ground this time, which unit will he cleanse first? Who will he retaliate against? It's definitely our Police Department! The judicial department isn't on the same page as him, and they've already fallen out. How can he sleep soundly?!"

Lin You pondered for a moment, "How confident is Riel?"

"Currently, there's only one anti-terrorism team in the city." Deputy Director Guo replied softly, "The upper echelons of the Supervisory Committee will also take action. There will definitely be risks, but we have no other choice."

Lin You took a puff of his cigarette, still unable to make a decision.

Deputy Director Guo became somewhat anxious, "We can't hesitate at this point. The situation is already very clear. If you don't act against them, they will act against you. Otherwise, what's the point of this live broadcast stunt? To negotiate? That's simply impossible!"

Lin You gritted his teeth and immediately replied, "Alright, it's settled then. We'll cooperate with the Supervisory Committee."

"Good, I'll talk to Riel."

After their conversation, they ended the call.

Inside the Supervisory Committee compound, Miao Ziwei walked alone to the parking lot and waved at a business van.

Four men immediately got out of the car. They were wearing suits, tall, and had serious expressions on their faces.

Miao Ziwei took out a cigarette case, lowered his head, and said to the four men, "The mining industry will definitely not be able to hold on, and there will definitely be changes in the Supervisory Committee, but the upper echelons are not willing to give up, and I'm not willing to give up either. Before paying the price, we can't let them have it easy either."

"Tell us, what should we do?"

"Let Bai Yu go ahead. The Police Department and the military intelligence department will secretly cooperate with him." Miao Ziwei lit a cigarette, "Be quick!"

The four men nodded upon hearing this.

...

The Mayor's residence.

Li Mingsheng was currently directing the municipal department and the anti-terrorism team to deal with the crime scene at the botanical garden.

In the small study, Li Mingsheng's advisors were also offering suggestions. Some suggested that he come forward in the name of the municipal government to hold a press conference to appease the gathered and protesting people, which would enhance Li Mingsheng's overall political image.

Others suggested that the labor union make a fuss again, and then Li Mingsheng would come forward to quell the incident, which would achieve an excellent effect of suppressing before promoting.

In short, these advisors had all sorts of ideas, and their thinking was very clear. Almost as soon as the live broadcast incident ended, they came up with multiple options for Lao Li to choose from.

Inside the study, Li Mingsheng had just hung up the phone, and before he could turn around, Ouyang Zhen strode in.

"Lao Li, let's talk over here."

"What's wrong?" Li Mingsheng followed him.

"...Something happened to our troops waiting outside the district." Ouyang Zhen turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice, "The 116th Regiment has been blocked by telecommunications."

Li Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, "What did the higher-ups say?"

"The higher-ups can't contact the troops, and immediately sent people to investigate. They found that the three regiments of the Dragon City Garrison had surrounded our reinforcements, and all the main roads were blocked. The two sides have not had any conflict so far, but with the communication cut off, the people inside can't contact the higher-ups, so they definitely don't dare to fire easily." Ouyang Zhen's face was very serious, "...My personal estimation is that they want to...!"

Li Mingsheng's mouth twitched a few times upon hearing this.

"We need to hide, we can't fall into their trap." Ouyang Zhen lowered his head and glanced at his watch, "Let's avoid it first, and wait for the higher-ups to come up with a response plan."

Li Mingsheng felt a little frustrated, but more than that, he felt helpless. In this incident, the upper echelons of the Democratic Party were already fully supporting him, but objectively speaking, the party's control over Dragon City was definitely not as good as that of the Supervisory Committee.

The troops stationed around Dragon City mainly came from two units: one was the Dragon City Garrison Corps, which was mainly responsible for the city's military defense and was led by the Chinese Corps Command. A large number of the senior commanders of the Chinese Corps were from the Republican Party.

The other stationed troops were the 125th Army of the Chinese Corps. This unit was urgently dispatched to the border of Dragon City after the civil war in the Sinaloa and Casalo regions. Its main role was to deter and prevent the flames of war from spreading inward. To put it bluntly, it was a force to protect the territory and the people.

This 125th Army was the Democratic Party's troop, and Ouyang Zhen had previously borrowed a regiment from it to confront the Supervisory Committee. However, this unit's responsibility was to guard the border defense line. They could not leave the garrison area without authorization, let alone enter the garrison territory of the Garrison Corps.

This is the same as a field army suddenly returning to the city with troops without saying hello, because this poses a possibility of military rebellion.

The Democratic Party's power in Dragon City was weak. This was an indisputable fact. At this moment, the only troop that could support Li Mingsheng was suddenly blocked outside the district. What did this mean? It was self-evident.

Li Mingsheng thought for a moment and realized the seriousness of the situation, "Let's go first, to the anti-terrorism team."

"Okay." Ouyang Zhen immediately added, "Don't panic, we've also placed a heavy bet on this game. The higher-ups can't back down. As long as we get through tonight, the Supervisory Committee will be at the end of its rope, and the sky in Dragon City will be completely changed."

"Mm." Li Mingsheng turned around and shouted, "Everyone, quickly clear your personal belongings, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the anti-terrorism team members entered a state of alert, and the advisors and accompanying personnel in the room began to pack up various documents.

About five minutes later.

Under the protection of hundreds of people, Li Mingsheng left his residence and prepared to leave by car from the back.

On the dark and noisy street, Li Yuan turned his head and looked around, and suddenly asked, "Where's that little girl? Where is she?!"

"Da da da...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crisp sound of gunfire suddenly spread throughout the street.

"Attack, attack!" The captain of the anti-terrorism team immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Immediately enter engagement status!"

...

Three minutes later.

Su Tianyu, who was on his way to the mayor's residence, received a call, "Hello?!"

"It's over, we can't suppress it anymore. There was gunfire at the leader's side. I don't know which unit is attacking the anti-terrorism team." Yu Mingyuan's voice rang out.

"Damn it, the Supervisory Committee is really cornered and desperate!" Su Tianyu cursed through gritted teeth.
