Chapter 218

Approximately two minutes later.

Lao Hei answered Su Tianyu's phone in the car, "Hey, where are we going?!"

"I'll send you a new address in a moment, just go straight there," Su Tianyu immediately instructed. "Hide with them and don't come out under any circumstances."

"If we run now, can we get out?" Lao Hei asked.

"There's no way to escape now. The news of Baolong Corporation's deaths must have already spread. The Victory District Police Department, the Municipal Police Department, and the Regulatory Commission will all stand firmly behind Baolong. If you get caught, we're finished," Su Tianyu explained.

Lao Hei was a little worried, "If we don't leave the city and are trapped inside, we can only wait for them to investigate. We have absolutely no initiative. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You'll understand what I mean when you get to that address."

"Alright!" Lao Hei said after expressing his concerns, and seeing that Su Tianyu still insisted, he didn't argue any further.

"That's it!"

After they ended the call, Su Tianyu pondered for a long time before saying to Kong Zhenghui and the others, "Come with me to Tianhong Port."

...

In the Municipal Building, in the mayor's office.

Li Mingsheng stood with his hands behind his back by the window, his eyes fixed on the dazzling night scene.

Li Yuan stepped forward and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Leader, if we pick him up, won't that...!"

"Not picking him up also carries risks," Li Mingsheng said softly. "Everyone knows that I take care of Su Tianyu. If the Tongji Association has problems, then I have problems."

Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Someone outside the district wants to kill me, and someone inside the district wants me to step down. If this miner incident gets out of control, the union won't be able to stand its ground, and the fire will definitely burn to this office." Li Mingsheng turned to look at Li Yuan, "Gou Liuzi is also in a difficult position right now. Go see him, give him some reassurance, and also show his partners that I support the Tongji Association."

Li Yuan understood immediately, "I understand, Leader!"

"Go ahead, I'll go home later," Li Mingsheng waved his hand.

"Okay!" Li Yuan responded and quickly turned to leave.

Li Mingsheng glanced at his back and suddenly called out, "After you see Su Tianyu, come back to my house."

"Okay!"

After Li Yuan responded, he left the office.

In the dimly lit room, Li Mingsheng walked slowly with his head down, his feet making creaking sounds on the floor.

Two major factions control the core power of District One: the Republican Party and the Civil Affairs Party. The game and struggle between these two factions has been going on for who knows how many years. Since the Era of the Calendar, the two sides have been taking turns. Most of the executive leaders are also born from these two major factions.

There may be some accidents in the middle, but that is also the result of the compromise between the two parties after the game. There are not a few puppet leaders.

In recent years, Dragon City has gradually risen, and it also has some autonomous rights, so the struggle between the two major factions has also spread to this extremely complex autonomous region.

It was against this background that Li Mingsheng was parachuted into Dragon City to take over as mayor, and the force behind him was the Civil Affairs Party.

The Civil Affairs Party's requirements for Li Mingsheng are very simple. First, they hope that Lao Li can weaken the Republican Party's control over Dragon City during his term of office. Second, they also hope that Lao Li can achieve some results during his term of office to consolidate the Civil Affairs Party's rights and status in Dragon City. To put it bluntly, they want to support their own forces and arrange their own people in key positions.

This condition seems very simple, because Lao Li is the mayor. Isn't it very simple for him to engage in personnel transfers that are inclined to his own faction?

But in fact, these two conditions are difficult to achieve, because the Republican Party itself has stronger control over Dragon City. The people in many major municipal positions are all from this party. In addition, there is a Regulatory Commission with great power above Lao Li's head, so after he came to Dragon City, he was basically in a difficult situation.

If he wants to do anything, he will be contained, restricted, and strangled by the various forces of the Republican Party.

Even so, some people still hope that Li Mingsheng will die outside the district, which shows how complex the political environment in Dragon City is.

For Lao Li personally, he has ideals, ambitions and aspirations. He is not willing to end his political career as a puppet, but he also knows that his current energy is very weak and he is surviving in the cracks, so he must wait for the opportunity.

The fermentation of this miner incident has produced many accidents. While waiting for opportunities, Lao Li also found that he had no way to retreat.

The Regulatory Commission is forcing too hard, and their actions are all aimed at him.

Lao Li was a little unwilling, a little angry, and even had a feeling of boiling blood in his old, flat blood vessels.

Li Mingsheng walked in his office for a long time, then suddenly stopped. He glanced out the window, reached out and picked up his coat, and had already made a decision in his heart.

Three minutes later, Li Mingsheng left the unit in the city's official car.

...

Victory District.

After confirming that they had escaped the police pursuit, Lao Hei and the others immediately abandoned their car and ran away on foot again.

After walking for a while, the group changed their clothes slightly, flagged down a taxi, and rushed to the third location.

After several transfers, the group came to the front of a quiet residential area. Lao Hei looked down at the address on his phone, then looked at the sign at the entrance of the residential area, and was instantly dumbfounded: "Damn it! I finally know why Gou Liuzi said it was safe to come here...!"

...

11:30 late at night.

Miao Ziwei met with the leaders of the Regulatory Commission, while Xu Jingbo and Liu Changming were both in the Victory District Police Department, interrogating the workers who had just been arrested.

In an interrogation room with the surveillance cameras turned off, Xu Jingbo was beating a brother of Ermao like crazy: "I'll give you one last chance!! Where did those two go?"

In the office, Liu Changming, who was feeling a little frustrated, suddenly received a call from the department, "Hello? Leader!"

"The technical department of the department has identified the last place where the bandits abandoned their car through the monitoring network!"

"Where?!" Liu Changming immediately asked.

"In Longkou District, Baoguang Avenue!" the other party replied.

Liu Changming immediately asked a technical police officer to enlarge the map on the wall. He frowned and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly said, "Longkou District?! They didn't run out of the city, but instead ran to the center. What does this mean?"

"Have people go to the scene to investigate immediately!"

"Okay!" Liu Changming nodded.

...

Inside Tianhong Port.

Su Tianyu met with several of Wei Xiangzuo's brothers at the dock workers' association branch.

"That's roughly what I mean, do you all understand?" Su Tianyu asked.

"Understood!" everyone nodded.

At the same time, in the Longkou District branch of the dock workers' association, Gu Baisun sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "...Did that woman run away?"

"She ran away!"
