Chapter 1058 Sudden Appointment

Ten-thirty in the morning, the Dragon City Administrative Hall reception area.

The reporters present were stunned to hear about Gu Baisun's new appointment. After a moment, someone finally reacted and began to applaud slowly.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Soon, the applause became a chorus, and more and more people joined in. He was a wise man and a qualified speaker, stirring up national sentiment at this meeting.

However, Gu Baisun himself was a bit dazed, staring blankly at Li Yuan. This appointment was too sudden; Lao Li had not mentioned anything about it to him beforehand.

Flashes of light went off constantly, and all the cameras were pointed at Gu Baisun in that instant.

Gu Baisun quickly regained his composure, took the letter of appointment, and sat down beside him with a somewhat complex mood.

Holding the microphone, Li Yuan said very naturally, "Next, we will enter the Q&A session..."

...

Half an hour later, the reporters at the scene took the answers given by the General Administration and quickly announced the news to the entire Dragon City.

Various news headlines flew through the streets of Dragon City, and the people were abuzz with discussion.

At the same time, Gu Baisun left the press conference and quickly caught up with Li Yuan, who was walking in front, gently tugging on his sleeve.

Li Yuan slowed down when he saw it was him.

Gu Baisun lowered his voice and asked with some confusion, "Secretary Li, what exactly is going on? Why was there such a sudden appointment at the press conference?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "This is the result of Director Su's communication with Mayor Li. They must want you to have support at this time."

Gu Baisun was silent when he heard this, without saying a word.

Li Yuan said very politely, "Mayor Gu, we are going to the conference room now. Mayor Li has called many people."

"Okay, I understand..."

Gu Baisun collected his doubts, followed Li Yuan, and strode towards the conference room of the administrative building.

...

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the conference room. At this time, many people were already seated in the room.

High-level members of the Hua Tong Association, such as Wei Xiangzuo, Zhang Taotao, Wang Xiao, Su Tianbei, and Kong ZhengHui, had arrived. Even Lu Feng, who had been hiding out at Hongshan Temple a few days prior, had been called back to attend the meeting in the conference room.

In addition, some high-level members of the administrative faction were also present, such as Wang Daolin of the Police Department.

Seeing Gu Baisun and Li Yuan enter, many people looked at him with complicated expressions, without saying anything.

Gu Baisun glanced at the crowd, nodded slightly, and sat silently in the seat arranged for him, next to Li Mingsheng, without saying a word.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting." Li Mingsheng said with his hands clasped, "Time is of the essence now. Calling you here, every minute and every second, is delaying the operation of Dragon City. So, here, I will only say three simple points. First, from now on, all departments must unconditionally cooperate with the internal investigation work of the General Administration. Do not look for any reasons or excuses. Second, after the General Administration finishes the investigation, it must produce complete evidence, as well as reasons for arresting people, and convince everyone present! And the families of all those involved in the Dragon City case! Publish the details."

Everyone listened to these decisions, and each person's expression was different.

Li Mingsheng paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone's faces, and said in a sonorous voice, "Third, I, Lao Li, have been in politics for most of my life, and the simplest truth I have learned is, 'If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear!' Similarly, I will also put my words here today. If Gu Baisun abuses his power and seeks revenge, as long as someone produces concrete evidence, and after my verification, I will dismiss him on the spot! But if not, then keep your voices down! Don't think about those trivial matters! This is a critical moment of life and death, not a game! In the face of the big picture, personal feelings and conflicts should be put aside. If we are not united, we will not win this war!! We will be letting down the people outside the door, and we will not be able to save our own lives!"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Li Mingsheng's voice softened a little, and he continued, "Everyone here has personally built the association and followed me all the way! I believe you can handle your personal emotions and relationships well. I also hope you can understand... the fate of the overseas Chinese community is in the hands of you people."

After saying these things cleanly and neatly, Li Mingsheng waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Everyone looked at each other and completely understood Lao Li's purpose today. He wanted to establish Gu Baisun's core leadership position within the team and shatter all doubts.

Many of those present felt uncomfortable and even unconvinced. But what Lao Li said was also without problem, and no fault could be found.

After all, he said that as long as you can find evidence against Gu Baisun, you can get rid of him at any time!

...

A few minutes later, everyone in the conference room had dispersed. Gu Baisun sat there, still a little dazed, and even a little incredulous about everything that had happened today.

Because at such a critical juncture, and with his reputation, the other party could still give him such great power, which...which made him a little uneasy, and even aroused strange emotions in his heart.

Gu Baisun shook his head and strode out of the conference room. At this moment, his phone vibrated gently. He glanced at it and found that it was a text message from Su Tianyu.

The content is as follows.

"Brother Gu, greetings.

Personally, I am sorry to you. For the sake of the world, I will give you important responsibilities.

Looking back, we formed the association, laid out Panama, attacked Sao Paulo, completed the great integration, and united the power of overseas Chinese.

Unintentionally, you and I have walked hand in hand for six years. The long journey has been full of difficulties and memories. For me, as the friendship between comrades-in-arms has grown, I have felt confused and uneasy because you and I have personal grudges.

Before leaving, I wanted to say a lot to you, but I couldn't express it. The comradeship of fighting side by side is all in that watch.

Baisun, in another ten years, if Dragon City falls, I will surely die, and personal grievances will disappear. If Dragon City stands firm, I hope that after Uncle Yu's death, after the war is over, you and I can get drunk together, I will talk about regret, and you will talk about release.

The internal stability of Dragon City, from this moment on, rests entirely on your shoulders.

Brother Gu, if I had another chance, I wouldn't have said those things to Uncle Yu that night.

Stay, Dragon City needs you!! I believe your roots are here too!

..."

Gu Baisun looked down at the text message, his face pale, his lips moving: "Su Tianyu, Su Tianyu! You really have a firm grasp on my pulse!!"

Guo Zhengdao's words before his death echoed in Gu Baisun's mind. As he recalled his years of working with Su Tianyu, a bitter smile appeared on his pale cheeks.

NanhU.

Su Tianyu sat in the car, turning his head and looking around.

An Qiqi watched him the whole time and saw the text message he had just edited: "Really?"

"...In recent years, without him, I might have been exhausted." Su Tianyu sighed: "When I first arrived in Dragon City, I was too sharp. I am also a human being, and I also do things that I regret...!"
