219: Hydra has broken in.
After receiving instructions from the boss, the subordinate immediately turned and left.
Not long after, the news that the Law Enforcement Bureau had been bombed by Hydra spread throughout Vietnam.
The center of power in this city!
In the conference room, those in high positions watched the scene displayed on the large screen.
Everyone fell silent. The screen showed the bombed Law Enforcement Bureau, which was now reduced to ruins.
Bang!
Suddenly, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table slammed his palm on the desk and said with a dignified expression, "This is outrageous! They are incredibly brazen to even dare to bomb the Law Enforcement Bureau."
"Exactly. If they dare to bomb the Law Enforcement Bureau today, they might dare to bomb here tomorrow. This matter must not be tolerated."
"Everyone outside is saying that Hydra did this. I received a report from my subordinates that many Hydra members have arrived in the past two days. They are a destabilizing factor in this city, and I propose that their motives must be stifled in the cradle."
A man with a weathered face sitting in the front spoke in a low voice, pointing the finger directly at Hydra.
The man's name was Kai Mingzhi, the top leader of the city's Law Enforcement Bureau, and also the biggest backer behind the Scorpion Gang.
"Hehe, we can't jump to conclusions so quickly. Hearsay is baseless. However, I heard that this news came from the Scorpion Gang, and as luck would have it, I caught the person red-handed. Guess what?
He confessed everything. They twisted the truth and deliberately threw mud at Hydra. Although Hydra's nature is similar to the Scorpion Gang's, the Scorpion Gang is our true target for eradication.
This isn't just me talking. You can go to the grassroots and listen to the voices of the people. See what they say about the Scorpion Gang's actions; they are simply a cancer in our city."
"That's not entirely true. Even without the Scorpion Gang, there would be the White Tiger Gang, the Black Chicken Gang, and so on. Rather than constantly replacing them and disrupting order, it's better to stick with one. Besides, we've infiltrated so many people into the Scorpion Gang to control them.
On the other hand, Hydra, as soon as they arrived, made the city's appearance a mess. Now, when I go to the street to eat a bowl of beef noodles, the owner tells us to close the door and eat. It's utterly ridiculous."
"I agree. I think Hydra should be annihilated."
"Annihilate Hydra? You don't need me to tell you your intentions; you know them yourselves. Since you know the current situation, you should know whether the public now hates Hydra or the Scorpion Gang!"
Everyone debated heatedly, and the entire conference room instantly filled with tension.
It was clear that they had split into two factions: one supporting Hydra and the other the Scorpion Gang.
It was like playing an open hand; now it was up to the boss at the head of the table.
Seeing this, Kai Mingzhi raised his eyelids and looked at the newly promoted third-in-command, a hint of sharpness flashing in the depths of his eyes.
However, he was somewhat puzzled. How did this guy suddenly parachute in here? Even with all his connections, he couldn't find any information about the other party.
This was the only thing he didn't understand, but... it wouldn't be easy to move against the Scorpion Gang.
Because it involved the interests of many people. As long as he didn't fall, the Scorpion Gang would be fine.
So, upon hearing these words, he showed no panic, but rather seemed as steady as a fisherman on his platform.
Sure enough, just then, the man at the head of the table suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion.
"Quiet! What kind of decorum is this, constantly bickering? Do you think this is a wet market? Regardless, the bombing of the Law Enforcement Bureau must be severely punished. This matter is entrusted to Kai Mingzhi, and everyone else must cooperate fully. I need to see results within one day. If you cannot satisfy the higher-ups, all of you will be sent down for 'reflection.' Meeting adjourned!"
Upon hearing this, Kai Mingzhi's faction immediately felt relieved, grateful that they had chosen the right side.
Kai Mingzhi even looked provocatively at the parachuted second-in-command, as if saying, 'Even a mighty dragon wants to challenge the authority of us local snakes? Utterly ridiculous.'
After the meeting, as soon as Kai Mingzhi returned to his post, he immediately and tirelessly branded Hydra a terrorist organization.
A large number of law enforcement officers began to mobilize, even permitted to carry grenades. Of course, this was only on the surface; secretly, the Scorpion Gang was cooperating with them.
The entire city searched for Hydra members... Night fell!
The entire city seemed to have pressed the pause button. The streetlights were bright, but there were no ordinary pedestrians on the roads, only law enforcement officers and Scorpion Gang members.
While they were searching for Hydra, Brother Dao was leading his men to clear out the enemy's strongholds.
Inside a bar, which should have been a scene of wild revelry, there was now no music or colorful lights, only hushed discussions.
"Hydra is doomed this time. How dare they openly bomb the Law Enforcement Bureau? What's the difference between that and declaring war on law enforcement?"
"You're right. The higher-ups are furious this time. They've started a city-wide search for Hydra members. We just need to cooperate. I have to say, it's really great to have someone up top."
"This Hydra really doesn't know its place. An outside force, daring to be so reckless without understanding the situation. Hehe, once Hydra is eliminated, let's see who still dares to provoke us then."
"Stop talking, just thinking about it makes me so excited."
"By the way, what are we doing here?"
"What else? Of course, we're waiting for Hydra to walk into our trap. Haven't you seen that the brothers are all carrying guns? We're legally armed now."
A young man with dyed yellow hair said, shaking the pistol in his hand, then struck a shooting pose.
Just then!
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and a blood-filled hole immediately appeared on the forehead of a man opposite him. He fell backward with an expression of disbelief.
He seemed unable to believe that he had died just like that, so inexplicably.
He still had so many good years to enjoy.
"Damn it, you... why did you shoot?"
"Damn it, there's an inside man! You bastard, how dare you betray the Scorpion Gang?"
"N-no, it wasn't me who shot. I was just posing, and that gunshot clearly wasn't from a pistol."
The yellow-haired man was so frightened by everyone's stares that he almost wet himself.
"He seems to be right. That gunshot was... from a ri..."
Before he could finish his sentence, gunshots erupted outside, one after another.
Tat-tat-tat-tat~
The people inside instantly fell into chaos.
"Damn it, those cursed Hydra! They're actually using rifles?"
"Son of a bitch, how are we supposed to fight this?"
Just then, two blood-soaked Scorpion Gang members suddenly ran in from outside, spitting blood, and said weakly, "Hy... Hydra, they've... they've broken in."
As the last word fell, the man collapsed to the ground, lifeless!
In such a situation, no one would be foolish enough to think that the person had merely fallen asleep.
