How could Peng Guoliang not listen to Zhu Chuanguo?

He immediately led a dozen people towards the main entrance.

Zhang Cheng still wanted to resist.

Chen Fang gave him a subtle look.

He could only retreat silently to the side.

It wasn't that Chen Fang condoned it.

In such circumstances, even if he stopped Peng Guoliang, it wouldn't have any effect.

There were over a hundred people in the auditorium, and they wouldn't stand by him. At the critical moment, everyone's mind was focused on their own interests, not justice.

The chaotic tables and chairs blocking the entrance were moved aside.

Then, Peng Guoliang personally unlocked the door.

With a clang, the heavy door swung open.

As expected, Xiaxiang City's Deputy Mayor and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Shen Jianye, appeared in front.

"Director Shen, thank goodness you..."

Peng Guoliang sighed in relief, just about to say a few words.

Shen Jianye stepped aside.

The joy in everyone's eyes immediately dimmed because the person who walked in was not Shen Jianye but Song Jiangshan, the same Song Jiangshan who had just appeared on camera.

Song Jiangshan stood at the door with his hands behind his back.

His gaze locked onto Chen Fang not far away.

This time, his entire presence was suffused with deadly intent.

"Comrade Chen Fang, having held leaders hostage, take him down."

Song Jiangshan paused, then gave the command.

Four or five fully armed police officers rushed in, immediately pinning down Chen Fang.

As for Zhang Cheng's men, they didn't have time to react because more police flooded in, their guns already aimed at them.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Song Jiangshan slowly walked up to Chen Fang.

He reached out and slapped Chen Fang's cheek lightly.

Then said, "Kid, you're still too naive. Trying to fight me—you're not qualified. Got any tricks left? Go ahead, show me."

"You won't succeed."

Chen Fang said through clenched teeth.

"Hahaha..."

A burst of signature laughter followed.

Song Jiangshan said, "Really? Don't worry; I won't do anything to you. I'll make sure you watch the outcome you don't want to see. That way, you'll truly concede, won't you?"

After saying this.

He placed a hand on the stage.

Leapt up.

Landed on the stage.

Picked up the microphone from the podium, tapped it a few times to check, then pointed at Chen Fang and shouted, "This guy has sinister motives, even colluding with gangsters to kidnap Mr. Shangguan and several leaders. This is unforgivable. Now, the Xiaxiang Municipal Public Security Bureau is going to arrest him. Those unrelated to this event should immediately return to your workplaces, and of course, no one is allowed to leave the City Committee Courtyard until the lockdown is over. Understood?"

This was a typical case of turning truth upside down.

Everyone knew, the truly unforgivable one was Song Jiangshan.

But, given the current situation, who dared to step forward and say "no"?

A series of whispers.

Everyone was privately discussing what to do next.

Bam, bam, bam!

Song Jiangshan raised the handgun in his hand, fired three shots at the ceiling.

The venue immediately quieted down.

Song Jiangshan smiled and said, "I'll count to ten. If you're still here after that, don't blame me for being heartless."

As soon as he said this.

Song Jiangshan immediately started counting, "Ten..."

As the count began.

Many rushed out like a swarm.

By the time he reached "five," the auditorium was already half empty.

After a few seconds of internal struggle.

Even more people rose to leave.

At this moment, Zhu Chuanguo and Peng Guoliang wanted to follow the main group out.

But they were blocked by Shen Jianye at the door.

Just as Zhu Chuanguo wanted to argue a few words.

Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.

He turned and was startled to see that Song Jiangshan had somehow appeared beside him.

"Secretary Zhu, you're a leader. I must ensure your safety."

"No... no need, thank you for your goodwill, Mayor Song."

Zhu Chuanguo waved his hand and said.

Song Jiangshan gave a wicked smile.

Applied pressure with his hand.

And said, "It's necessary, it's necessary; Secretary Zhu, you mustn't hesitate."

Just like that, Zhu Chuanguo was pushed back into the auditorium.

Among the auditorium meant for over a hundred people.

Now, it was empty.

Only a few senior leaders remained.

It wasn't that they weren't leaving, but Song Jiangshan clearly had no intention of letting them go.

Only now did Zhu Chuanguo know regret.

If he hadn't forced Peng Guoliang to open the door back then, things might not have escalated to such a dreadful state.

He felt annoyed but what change could his regret bring now?

After gaining control of the situation.

Song Jiangshan received a small box from one of his subordinates.

He placed the box in front of Shangguan Shoudong, with a click he opened it, revealing a bottle inside.

The bottle contained some pills.

Song Jiangshan took out the bottle, placed it in front of Shangguan Shoudong, and said, "Mr. Shangguan, since you know what's going on, I don't want to explain anything further. Let's start; swallow the pills, and nothing will happen."

Looking at the bottle.

Those around him paled in fear.

But under such circumstances, no one dared to step forward and stop him.

Because Li Chong was the cautionary tale.

He was the first to rush out to protect Shangguan Shoudong but was directly stopped by Shen Jianye, who smashed a gun handle onto his head, causing his forehead to bleed.

After falling to the ground, Shen Jianye kicked him several more times; now, he could only moan and do nothing else.

Shangguan Shoudong remained calm.

He stared at the medicine bottle for a while.

Then said, "Where is Hou Jidao? Where is he hiding? I want to see him."

"Mr. Shangguan, the situation has come to this; what difference does it make whether you see him or not? Just swallow the pills, or I'll have to do it by force."

Song Jiangshan said.

Upon hearing this.

Shangguan Shoudong chuckled and said, "Hou Jidao is really a coward, not daring to show himself."

Then.

He picked up the bottle.

"Mr. Shangguan, don't! Don't!"

Chen Fang yelled in terror upon seeing this.

Without even looking, Song Jiangshan snapped his fingers in the direction of Chen Fang.

Suddenly, with a thud.

One of his subordinates punched Chen Fang hard in the abdomen.

With that punch.

Chen Fang grimaced in pain, gasping sharply to suppress it.

Even so.

He forced himself upright.

Shouted at Song Jiangshan, "Song Jiangshan, you fool, you're incredibly stupid. If you harm Mr. Shangguan, you're just a scapegoat, you know? The reason Hou Jidao dares not show himself, he's waiting for you to succeed and then blame everything on you..."
