Chapter 125 Standoff

Mayor's Residence.

Li Yuan quickly walked into the hall and saw Li Mingsheng on the phone in the study on the first floor. He immediately said to Jin Maohui, "They're in."

Jin Maohui picked up his gun and replied, "Don't worry about anything. Just stay by the mayor's side. I'll go out."

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.

"Let's go!" Jin Maohui called out to his team and immediately strode outside.

At the same time, the anti-terrorism team members who had controlled the rear of the compound also rushed to the front of Li Mingsheng's residence and quickly seized the streets within the community that were conducive to firing.

Jin Maohui walked along the road in the residential area for about thirty meters and saw a large number of cars and pedestrians rushing in.

"Bang!"

Jin Maohui fired a shot into the sky without hesitation, standing astride on the road leading to the Li family, and shouted, "One more step forward and we'll open fire immediately!"

The gunshot rang, and the cars in front stopped.

At the head of the car, a section chief from a disciplinary unit under the Supervision Council led members of a special operations team and cadres from the police department, and stepped forward to meet him.

Jin Maohui waved to signal his team members not to act rashly, and frowned at them, waiting quietly.

Ten seconds later, the people on the opposite side came closer, and the leading disciplinary section chief asked directly, "Where's Liu Changming?!"

"He wanted to assassinate the mayor, so I shot him dead." Jin Maohui replied with a cold face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the opposite side was stunned. They instinctively felt that Jin Maohui was lying and scaring people.

"Old Jin, don't talk nonsense!" The leading disciplinary section chief frowned and said, "You know in your heart that it's useless for you to block us like this? Let me tell you, there are police officers all around the compound. As long as the bandits are in this compound, they will definitely not escape."

"I'm not kidding you. I don't know anything about bandits or not, I only know that Liu Changming broke into Mayor Li's house just now and tried to assassinate him with a gun, so we shot him dead on the spot. And before the mayor orders the lifting of the control, no one can approach the mayor's house." Jin Maohui replied without giving an inch.

At this moment, everyone listening to Jin Maohui's words suddenly began to believe that Liu Changming had been shot dead, because the attitude he showed was definitely not like he was arguing or stalling for time. The surrounding anti-terrorism team soldiers seemed to be really ready for war.

The people from the Supervision Council looked at Jin Maohui and said in a cold voice, "I'll tell you one last time, we have received accurate information that there are murderers hiding in this community! Your armed obstruction now is resisting the judiciary!! Do you know what the consequences are?"

The cold wind blew gently, and Jin Maohui held his gun and replied without giving an inch, "The anti-terrorism team only obeys the orders of the mayor's office! I don't understand any political games, I only know that if anyone dares to enter the Li family today, I'll risk taking off this uniform!! And fight you to the end!"

"I think you want to die!" The person from the Supervision Council waved his hand and shouted, "Prepare to enter!"

"Whoosh!"

A large number of special operations team members and police officers all stepped forward with their guns.

Jin Maohui directly raised his gun and shouted, "All members of the anti-terrorism team, enter the first-level combat readiness state! Notify the four brigades to cut off contact with all departments and gather at my location!! Damn it, it's a coup, get ready to fight!"

"Whoosh!"

All the anti-terrorism team members on both sides of the community street stood up and entered shooting state. Four anti-riot RPGs directly aimed at the crowd on the opposite side.

At the same time, the anti-terrorism team training base, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately disconnected from the judicial department's network and refused to communicate with any unit.

At this moment, the incident escalated again, and the simple arrest operation had turned into a small-scale armed standoff with the nature of a coup!

When the people from the Supervision Council saw Jin Maohui's attitude, they felt unsure. The leader was only a section chief, too weak to order to fire or force their way in, because once the two sides started fighting, no one knew what scale of conflict would erupt.

The people from the Supervision Council pointed at Jin Maohui and said, "Okay, so you're going to stand with Li Mingsheng to the death, right? Good, good!"

After saying that, the people from the Supervision Council stepped back and contacted their superiors by phone.

...

Mayor's Residence.

Li Mingsheng was sitting in the small study on the first floor at this moment, his posture was quiet and his eyes were firm.

Just a few minutes ago, he had an emergency online connection with the upper echelons of the Min Zheng Dang, who should also be discussing countermeasures at the moment.

First District, Regional Security Inspection Department.

A middle-aged man in his fifties walked out of the unit with a dozen soldiers and bent over to get into an armored car.

After the middle-aged man got into the car, more than a dozen cars set off together and headed to the airport.

Inside the car.

The middle-aged man's secretary handed over a computer and headset, and said softly, "The connection is complete!"

The middle-aged man nodded, took the headset, put it on his head, and adjusted the camera.

A dozen seconds later, more than twenty heads appeared on the computer screen, and the video conference officially began.

The middle-aged man adjusted his headset, frowned and said, "The Dragon City incident has escalated! It's no longer a simple matter of miner compensation and arresting troublemaking workers, but some powerful groups around the Supervision Council are carrying out a fatal strangulation of Li Mingsheng! It has even risen to the confrontation of several judicial departments!"

"Why didn't Li Mingsheng prepare in advance? Didn't report it? With his political wisdom, couldn't he have foreseen this situation?" Someone raised a question.

"First of all, Li Mingsheng had greeted me before, but I personally believe that a conflict between Baolong Group and local workers is not so serious as to be a life-and-death situation. There have also been several unexpected events in the middle, such as the accidental killing of Baolong Group staff members by workers, etc... So, the escalation of the incident is full of randomness." The middle-aged man responded with reason and evidence.

"The attitude of the Supervision Council is to not give up until Li Mingsheng is brought down, right?"

"That should be the situation at the moment, because they can't back down." The middle-aged man replied.

"We must ensure Li Mingsheng's safety in Dragon City, and a relatively comfortable governing environment." A white-haired old man said without hesitation, "We need to stand with the workers, we need to stand with the kind mayor...!"

"Okay, I'll fly to Dragon City immediately!" The middle-aged man nodded.

First District, the Child family. After a middle-aged white man received a call, he said in a brief voice, "Li Mingsheng's position is our last line of defense in Dragon City. If he is taken down, the Min Zheng Dang will lose control of this city. For this reason, our support quota is unlimited!"

...

Mayor's Residence.

Li Mingsheng received a call from the Regional Security Inspection Department, who bluntly said to him, "The upper echelons will not back down."

"...!" Li Mingsheng took a long breath after hearing this, "I understand!"

A dozen seconds later, Su Tianyu received a call.
