[Book 3: The South]
Just as Dan Hong was engaged in negotiations with Chen Ying and the rest, the 2 Discipline Committee members were currently holding Li Jiu Ming in a small room.
All of a sudden, the door of the room was kicked open, and 4 men in special forces uniform rushed into the room, their hands wielding daggers as they attacked the 2 members of the Committee.
In a manner of seconds, the 2 employees of the committee were pierced in the hearts by the dagger-wielding assassins, and they slumped lifelessly to the ground.
Seeing the bloody scene, Li Jiu Ming’s face turned pale, as his body trembled. He raised his numb hands and asked through gritted teeth: “Who are you people?”
At this time, with an aura of elegance and the natural dominance of a leader, Gao Ming Hao came strolling into the room as he flashed a charming smile at Li Jiu Ming: “Mayor Li, don’t you recognize me?”
At that battle against the Mutant Beast horde, Gao Ming Hao had brought his men and escaped fairly quickly. He was decisive and quick, and with his luck, he only lost about a 100 men. Not a single Evolver of the Green Bamboo Triad was lost. His strength had also become much larger than that of the Heavenly Dragon Triad.
Li Jiu Ming’s face regained colour as he stared at Gao Ming Hao and coldly replied: “So it’s you Gao Ming Hao!! What’re you here for? I’ve already been stripped of my mayor role!”
Li Jiu Ming wasn’t an idiot, and he could guess the intentions of Gao Ming Hao coming here.
Gao Ming Hao laid his voice with temptation as he replied: “Mayor Li, are you going to let those people take away your power then kill you? The debt of your son’s death is still not settled, are you just going to let this go?”
The moment Li Jiu Ming was reminded of his precious son’s death at the hands of Yue Zhong, his eyes were ablaze with fury again, as he barked out: “Of course I want my revenge!”
Gao Ming Hao chuckled: “Well, there’s an opportunity in front of you now! Mayor Li, as long as you work with us, we can work together to gain control of Guilin City. At that time, to kill a single Yue Zhong, all you have to do is pass the command!”
Li Jiu Ming immediately agreed: “Fine! What do you need me to do?”
Gao Ming Hao’s pupils narrowed as he asked: “If everyone in that meeting hall was killed, how confident are you in gaining control of the armed forces and the experts in the government?”
The police force, armed forces, as well as the experts under the government control all made up part of a huge force. It was enough to thoroughly exterminate even the likes of the Heavenly Dragon Triad and Green Bamboo Triad. After all, the strongest powers in Guilin City were the government and military, if the government didn’t have any experts, that would truly be weird.
Li Jiu Ming thought for a while, before replying: “I have 100% confidence in controlling the experts of the Nan Ning City side. As for Guilin City, I don’t have that same confidence!”
Li Jiu Ming was after all one of the heads of Guilin City, and naturally had employed a number of experts. With his status, many people were willing to work for him.
Gao Ming Hao directly responded: “Good!! Then I’ll trouble you to go convince those troops!! Leave everything here to us! However, once this is over, the Heavenly Dragon Triad and Green Bamboo Triad have to be declared as orthodox triads!”
Li Jiu Ming replied readily: “Sure! This I promise you!”
Wresting control was the most critical part, if he could gain total power, Li Jiu Ming was willing to betray anything right now.
With the agreement, Li Jiu Ming quickly left under the protection of 2 experts.
With the gathering of the 2 sides of the government, as well as the upper echelons of the military, such an important meeting was currently being guarded.
Near the meeting hall, there were 20 elite soldiers, 30 Enhancers of above Level 30 as well as 6 Evolvers standing guard. With such a tight defence, even if Yue Zhong were to lead a team of numerous experts, they would be hard pressed to breach the defence easily. If not dealt with properly, it could spell even the deaths of those on the attacking side.
Right at this time, 6 men dressed ordinarily came strolling with large steps towards the meeting hall.
“Who’re you guys?” A soldier called out warily.
A bespectacled man, who looked extremely cultured and well-mannered handed a piece of document to the soldier, saying: “I’m Tan Teng, a secretary of the Committee. These are my verification documents. The air-conditioning of the meeting hall on the 4th storey is malfunctioning! These are repairmen, I have submitted a report prior, you can check it out!”
“Please proceed!” The soldier gave a glance through Tan Teng’s documents and identification, before letting them through.
Tan Teng immediately brought
