Chapter 193: Gao Shuwei’s Arrogance
Just as Shi Xuan locked the metal door on the 19th floor, gunshots echoed through the area. Soon, Quan Yuanwei quickly came out to check the situation, only to find Long Yu and the others there.
He walked up to them and asked, "Brother Long, what happened out there?"
Long Yu replied, "The military sent soldiers to deal with Lu Hong and his men. They must be punishing those who escaped."
Hearing this, Quan Yuanwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They came at just the right time. Otherwise, we might have had to fight Lu Hong ourselves."
The thought of killing people made Quan Yuanwei shudder. He looked at Long Yu and said, "Brother Long, you should all go back and rest. I'll keep an eye on the situation and let you know if anything happens."
Long Yu agreed. "Alright, we'll head back first."
Once back on the 20th floor, they gathered in Unit 2001. The seven of them sat around the heater, listening to the gunshots outside. After a while, the shooting stopped.
Jia Xiang stood up and walked to the balcony to take a look.
After the soldiers loaded the corpses into the second truck, they drove away with Lu Hong and his men, leaving only a group of soldiers behind to calm down the residents.
Seeing this, Jia Xiang knew it was finally over. With a smile, she turned to her friends and said, "The soldiers had already left with Lu Hong and his men."
Hearing this, Huang Qian sighed with relief and said, "We can finally live in peace."
"We shouldn't lower our guard," Long Yu cautioned.
Huang Qian nodded. "I know. I just haven't been able to sleep because of those people and need to relax a little bit."
Listening to his complaint, Yao Ran said, "Let's celebrate today. We can have a good chat while eating."
Huang Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this. Before he could ask Yao Ran what they should eat, someone knocked on the door.
Shi Xuan went to open it and saw Quan Yuanwei standing there. He smiled and asked, "Brother Quan, something happened?"
Quan Yuanwei lowered his voice and replied, "The soldiers are questioning the survivors about Lu Hong and his men. They want everyone to come down for questioning."
Shi Xuan nodded. "We'll be down in a minute."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After delivering the news, Quan Yuanwei left. Shi Xuan closed the door and said, "The soldiers want everyone to come down for questioning."
It wasn't unusual for the soldiers to question the residents about Lu Hong's gang, but Long Yu sensed there might be more to it. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and see what they want."
The seven of them locked the door and went downstairs.
When the other survivors saw them coming out of Building 3, those from other apartment buildings pointed at them and said to the soldiers, "Sir, it's them! They've killed a lot of people! You must arrest them today!"
The soldier looked at Long Yu, and his eyes brightened as soon as he saw Long Yu's. Ignoring the residents, the soldier quickly approached Long Yu and his group.
He looked at Long Yu and asked, "Are you Captain Long?"
Long Yu and his friends were wearing masks and were covered from head to toe, so the soldier couldn't be sure it was him based on his eyes alone.
Seeing the soldier's face, Long Yu pulled down his mask and said, "Long time no see, Li Zhen."
Li Zhen looked at his former captain, quickly saluted him, and said, "Captain Long, long time no see."
Long Yu returned the salute. "I'm no longer your captain. Just call me Long Yu."
Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "Captain, I can't do that."
As he said this, the man who had been reporting Long Yu and the others realized that the people from the 20th floor had a connection with the military.
Fearing that Long Yu and the others would retaliate against him, the man quietly slipped away. Unbeknownst to them, the man didn't stay in the area but fled the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
At the same time, a group of people arrived near the community.
Seeing the soldiers guarding the area, one of them asked, "Captain Jiang, what should we do now?"
Jiang Chen looked at the lively scene in the distance and frowned.
He took out binoculars, surveyed the entrance of the Ling Yuan apartment complex for a while, and said, "Lay low for now. We'll move tonight and get Yao Yuechuan out of there."
"Yes, Captain."
After taking one last look at the Ling Yuan apartment complex and its residents, Jiang Chen left with his subordinates. Meanwhile, Wu Yehao was in the middle of a meeting with Gao Shuwei in Fengcheng City.
Sitting in the main seat, Gao Shuwei smiled and asked, "Captain Wu, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Wu Yehao didn't want to waste time exchanging pleasantries with him and directly asked, "Why did you send Yao Yuechuan on an assassination mission without Commander Fu's
permission?"
Gao Shuwei chuckled and asked, "Why should I need Commander Fu's permission to use my
own people?"
Wu Yehao sneered, "Your people?"
Gao Shuwei shrugged, then leaned back in his chair.
He lazily looked at Wu Yehao and replied, "Isn't Yao Yuechuan one of my people? Since he came to Fengcheng headquarters, he's now under my command. Anyone who comes here is my subordinate, including you."
Wu Yehao's expression darkened at Gao Shuwei's arrogant words. Remembering what Fu Zongshang had told him before he left the Yucheng headquarters, Wu Yehao suppressed his anger and stood up.
"Since Director Gao refuses to cooperate, there's nothing more to discuss between us."
Leaving those words behind, Wu Yehao exited the meeting room with his team. As the door closed, Gao Shuwei's smile faded. He reached for the phone on the long table and pressed
several buttons.
