Chapter 1

Gunshots rang out fiercely in the hutong of Erdao Street, Tianhong Port. More than a dozen masked bandits were pressing towards Wei Xiangzuo's side.

"This way, Brother Wei, this way!" Gu Baishun pulled Wei Xiangzuo, taking the lead in crossing the street, running and shouting, "Tell Feng Ge to call a car to pick us up!"

Behind them, six brothers led by Wei Xiangzuo, together with the men brought by Gu Baishun, were holding the entrance of the hutong, firing outwards on both sides.

With the cover of the crowd, Gu Baishun and Wei Xiangzuo took the lead in crossing the hutong opposite the street and rushed out on the side of a pharmacy.

"Squeak!"

An off-road vehicle rushed over from the left, and Niu Feng's brother poked his head out and shouted, "Get in the car!"

Wei Xiangzuo felt very strange seeing the sudden appearance of the car, but before he could think too much, Gu Baishun opened the car door and roared back, "You guys get in the car behind! Go, go, Brother Wei!"

In a hurry, the two took the lead in getting into the car. Gu Baishun, covered in sweat, instructed the driver, "Hurry, retreat quickly!"

"Vroom!"

The off-road vehicle left first. Wei Xiangzuo loosened his collar, frowned and looked at Gu Baishun, "How did you know they were going to set me up?"

"I have a source next to Yu Zheng. He said that Zhang Ming and Lao Yu went to the garrison headquarters early in the morning." Gu Baishun looked back at the situation behind him, panting and said, "It was them who convinced Tan Hengqiang, saying that if they didn't fight back, they wouldn't be able to control the situation in the association. Just now, this person called me again and said that the garrison might make a move."

"Why didn't you call me? Why did you make it so rushed?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.

"When I received the call, I was already around your branch. I arrived after hitting someone." Gu Baishun retracted his gaze and immediately reminded, "Brother Wei, call your men and ask if they got in the car."

"Okay!"

Wei Xiangzuo responded and reached for his phone.

Gu Baishun lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his face, "Damn, that was too close!"

Wei Xiangzuo looked at Gu Baishun's profile, his right hand slowly clenched into a fist at his side.

"Brother Wei, are you calling?!" Gu Baishun suddenly raised his head, looking at Wei Xiangzuo with gloomy eyes, and reached out to pull open his collar.

"Pa!"

Wei Xiangzuo suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Baishun's collar, roaring angrily, "Remember what I told you?! Now that you're here, don't make any small moves!"

"Brother Wei, what small moves have I made?" Gu Baishun asked, but his hands didn't stop moving.

"You said you received the call on the way to find me." Wei Xiangzuo squeezed his neck and roared, "Then why did you bring so many people? Why did they bring so many guns?! I just ran out, and the car picking us up was already in front of me. How long before did you know they were going to make a move? Huh? What exactly do you want to do?!"

Gu Baishun looked at him, directly pulled open his jacket, revealing two hand grenades strapped to his waist.

"Squeak!"

At the same time, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the two in the back seat were thrown forward.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and the driver took out a gun and pointed it directly at Wei Xiangzuo's head, "Don't move, or I'll shoot you!"

Wei Xiangzuo looked at Gu Baishun in disbelief, "What the hell are you trying to do?! What are you after?!"

"Dilingling!"

Just then, the phone rang. Gu Baishun slowly took out his phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"We got in the car. Wei Xiangzuo's men are with us. The gunmen on the other side didn't chase us because they saw we were prepared. I glanced around outside the yard, there's no one left inside, no one got away." Niu Feng's voice rang out.

"Don't touch his men yet, take them away." Gu Baishun instructed, and then hung up the phone.

"Is Zhou Peng's death related to you? Why are you doing this?" Wei Xiangzuo roared in confusion, "Do you want to be the chairman?!"

Gu Baishun pointed at Wei Xiangzuo, and said word by word, "Don't you owe me something?"

Wei Xiangzuo was stunned when he heard this.

"Aren't you all about morality? Aren't you known for putting loyalty first?" Gu Baishun stared and roared, "Then when are you going to repay the morality you owe my family?!"

"I told you before...!"

"Don't give me that bullshit!" Gu Baishun interrupted and asked, "I'm just asking you, wouldn't you be where you are today if it wasn't for my dad? You knew he died in the hands of Su Tianyu and Yu Jinrong's group, what did you do? Not only did you do nothing, but you're on the same side as them now!"

Wei Xiangzuo gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging as he looked at Gu Baishun, speechless for a long time. Not only was he a loyal man, but he was also reasonable. He didn't know how to refute Gu Baishun's words.

The two stared at each other, Wei Xiangzuo slowly said after a long while, "You're right, I owe your family! So what do you want to do?"

"Rebel with me, let's join forces with Jing Yan, take down Zhang Ming, and kick Lao Li out of the game." Gu Baishun's mouth twitched as he asked, "Do you dare to do it?!"

"Can't it be changed?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.

"No!" Gu Baishun shook his head.

Wei Xiangzuo was silent for three full seconds, "Okay! I owe the Gu family, I'll pay you back! I won't fight it, let him shoot, if I beg for mercy, I'm your dog!"

"Wei Xiangzuo, don't think I don't dare to do it!" The driver's eyes were red as he pushed open the safety with his thumb, "I'll kill you now and avenge Gu Lao!"

Wei Xiangzuo stared at Gu Baishun, without resisting or shouting.

"I...!" The driver stared at Wei Xiangzuo's head with his gun, pushing it forward hard.

"Pa!"

Gu Baishun grabbed the driver's wrist, and his gaze towards Wei Xiangzuo suddenly softened a lot, "You really have guts!"

Wei Xiangzuo looked at him with red eyes, clenched his fists and roared, "You're going the wrong way! If you do this, no matter who wins or loses, the end result won't be good for you! You don't have a background, how can you be the chairman?! Jing Yan is using you as a gun, he wants to provoke a conflict between the garrison and Lao Li, do you even understand?!"

"The outcome isn't good for me anyway!" Gu Baishun's lips trembled, he slowly lowered his head and said, "My mom was kidnapped in the Second District."

Wei Xiangzuo was stunned.

"I want to use your life to try to exchange for her life."

"Who did it?!?"

"......!" Gu Baishun didn't reply, reached out and picked up the phone, dialed a number.

Dozens of seconds later, the phone was connected.

"Hello?!"

"My mom is in your hands, right?" Gu Baishun asked.

"What are you talking about?" Jing Yan's voice rang out.

"Don't pretend, you forced me, sent me photos of my mom being kidnapped, and asked me to kill Wei Xiangzuo, isn't the purpose to provoke a conflict between the garrison and Lao Li's team?!" Gu Baishun said in a hoarse voice, "Now that I've taken care of Wei Xiangzuo, let's talk!"

Jing Yan was silent.

......

At the same time.

In the Zha Nan District Police Department, while Su Tianyu was looking at the confession records, Wang Daolin suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Liu Zi, something might have happened to Lao Wei!"
