Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 698: Tit for tat, completely out of control

The moment the Qingyun security team collectively revealed their identities, things seemed to be completely out of control.

Regardless of the various forces involved behind the scenes, they have begun to intensively contact and win over allies, discuss countermeasures and make plans. I don’t know how many bigwigs are nervously watching every move of this city.

The two sides in the confrontation on the front line have no way of retreat, and the people in Phoenix City are in a dilemma. Those who can come here today are basically diehards who are deeply trapped and cannot turn back. They cannot take back the stored copper, and the bulls in the futures market will collapse.

If he didn't die on the spot, he would also be implicated and liquidated and turned into ashes when the entire group collapsed. So after receiving clear instructions, the team leader gave a vague gesture of action.

The others behind him did not hesitate too much. One of them quickly returned to the car, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:

"Everyone present, listen carefully. I order you to put down your weapons immediately and not to resist in vain.

According to Article xx of the law, we are ordered to take over this place. Any irrelevant personnel please evacuate immediately, otherwise we have the right to use all legal means to suppress them..."

His words seemed like some kind of signal.

On the originally empty streets, there suddenly appeared groups of people armed with rumbling weapons, and even heavy equipment that was rarely seen in normal times, the only thing missing was a long gun barrel.

"Oh no, these guys are desperate."

Mr. Liao looked at the short and weak gun in his hand, and then looked at the other party's long and short cannons. He was frightened before he even fired. He subconsciously pulled Li Zehua and wanted to run away. After all, a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him.

Mr. Li was speechless. He struggled to get away from him and refused his kindness. He said disdainfully, "Why are you panicking? If you really want to fight to the death, do you still need to come up to negotiate?

It's all blackmail, it's all intimidation. If it were me who had to fight to the death, there would be no need to talk. I would just shoot first. As long as I catch them all on the spot, I can just use any evidence I want, right?

They are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and they are hesitant. They can't even eat hot meat. No wonder this group of people have never been able to achieve anything since ancient times and have always been only fit to be the vanguard of the king.

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm just staying here to see how far these people dare to go. Don't pull me, let go, are you a fan?"

Although they looked down on him, the fire stick in his hand was not to be trifled with. Liu Ziliang and Zhang Tao did not dare to take the risk, and quickly called their most trusted confidants to come up and escort him to the storage area.

Mr. Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the huge group of opponents surrounding him from all directions. It would be a lie to say he was not afraid, but now he had no way out.

He could only report to his superiors quickly while summoning his trusted followers to issue orders to hold on, "Don't panic, our large force will be here soon...

Listen to me carefully!

Without my order, no one is allowed to enter the storage area. Anyone who dares to force their way through the checkpoint will be allowed to sound a warning. Anyone who tries to go any further will be killed without mercy!"

Several team leaders looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to respond. After all, if a fight really broke out, who would be responsible for cleaning it up? They were too small to withstand the pressure.

They all stared at Mr. Liao's expression, hoping that he could get positive feedback from his superiors, even an order to retreat!

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. No one answered Buchang's call (he was attending an emergency meeting), and the person who answered the phone was vague and did not want to get involved in this mess at all.

Someone at the scene was shocked by the solemn scene, swallowed hard, and said worriedly: "Boss Liao, without clear orders from above, we can't afford to cause trouble.

Why don't we retreat now before things get out of hand?"

Mr. Liao scolded without hesitation: "You are confused. We represent the dignity of the Six Gates Headquarters. How many heads do you have on your shoulders to resist deserting the battlefield?"

But he didn't get any clear instructions and didn't dare to use his last trump card. He could only stamp his feet in anxiety. Retreat was impossible.

At worst, I'll lose my life here today.

But for the safety of his family, he could not go any further, such as summoning troops from outside the city to enter the battlefield.

"Lao Liao, we have known each other for more than ten years. Can you tell me the truth? Is there really a large army waiting outside?"

A senior middle manager's eyes flickered with desire, "As long as you can provide definite proof, we old guys will risk our lives to fight for you once."

The others were also moved. Everyone now understood the situation clearly. The Qingyun Group came prepared, otherwise there wouldn't be so many plainclothes personnel from the Five Military Governor's Office in the convoy.

It is their existence that gives the people from the Six Gates the confidence to continue the confrontation.

But Qingyun dared to fight because they had confidence and reliance. Even if something really happened, they could just step back. It would be difficult for outsiders to interfere in the internal affairs of the Governor's Office, and the only internal solution would be to send them abroad.

With Qingyun's ability, what is the difference between going out and enjoying happiness in paradise on earth?
"If not, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. We are all born by our parents, and we don't have a second life that can be ruined here without knowing why."

The senior mid-level manager who had just spoken calmly analyzed again: "Even the people who gave orders from above advised us not to get too involved, which is almost a clear indication.

Lao Liao, the people above will naturally come out to solve the problems. To put it bluntly, who are we? We are just executors. There is no need to rashly get involved too deeply before the situation becomes clear.

If you succeed, you will be envied and will inevitably be repaid later.

If not, I might lose my life right here."

As he spoke, he glanced at the figure of Li who had been moved to a safe location, and sneered, “If this person is here in person, the people of the Five Military Command will not stand idly by.

If there is any problem, let the Governor's Office handle it."

"Yes, Mr. Liao, there is no need for us to wade into muddy waters. This is Phoenix City. Just think about it. If they dare to confront us head-on, the power behind them must be very strong. If they win, we will not act without permission.

If you lose, the outcome is bound to be miserable. You might end up being a nobody, so why bother? "

As his subordinates started talking one after another, Mr. Liao became conflicted. What could he do?
These 27 tons of copper have been stored here for more than a day or two. No one would believe that no one knew the inside story. However, the higher-ups were unable to make up their minds to deal with it until Qingyun took a firm attitude.

Leading the investment in the construction of the Bohai Rim Economic Zone (as well as Dongda’s strategic plan for intelligent manufacturing in the next 15 years, which is the top priority, but most people are not aware of it), the higher-ups will make preferential choices.

However, the power of Zhongxin Capital, hot money from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and American capital should not be underestimated. They jumped up and down, launched lobbying and threats, and really attracted a large number of people to cheer for them.

Don't underestimate the unity of this force. To a large extent, they have influenced and interfered with the decision-making at the top, and are also the reason why Phoenix dares to confront it head-on.

Before departure, Bu Chang summoned him personally and gave him a hidden amulet. At this time, on the periphery, a lightly armed and rumbling force formation was on standby, with more than 3,000 people.

Depending on the severity of the situation on site, he will decide on the spot whether to arrange emergency entry.

Now is the time to make a decision, but he hesitated, because once he took that step, the future and fate of countless people would be affected, and even Bu Chang himself might not be able to withstand the tremendous pressure.

As the instigator, if there is no one to protect him behind the scenes, his miserable and tragic ending can be foreseen in advance.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Mr. Li of Qingyun, as if he wanted the latter to personally promise him protection. However, Li Zehua was being forcibly taken to a safe place and had no time to pay attention to him.

"Move, or not?"

President Liao was confused. Looking at his anxiously waiting subordinates, and then looking at the Qingyun security forces who were on high alert and ready to engage in battle at any time, he wanted to find someone to share the pressure!
However, all the tremendous pressure was concentrated on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

The deputy chief of staff from Jinhai was determined to fight to the death, because he knew very well that the person behind him had already stated that if he encountered a major setback here, the joint responsibility would be fatal.

However, his influence was insignificant, with only a few cars and a dozen people he brought. Facing an opponent who had the advantage of terrain and had made arrangements in advance, if a fight really started, he would not even be able to stop the opponent's teeth.

Besides, this is not Jinhai. By the time he calls for help and mobilizes troops to support, the opportunity will be gone. It is estimated that by the time we arrive at the scene to collect the food, it will be too late.

"Do it now?"

Phoenix City is actually also moving forward with gritted teeth, and no one dares to be the first to take action.

Although most of them are on board a pirate ship and cannot escape, when it comes to the final step and causes such a shocking commotion, who can have a good ending?

The person in charge of Phoenix City shook his head slightly and said, "Keep an eye on everyone. Do not act rashly without orders."

He murmured to himself again, "This is the maximum I can do. I hope to successfully force the other side to retreat and transfer all the copper in stock while the chaos is going on. As long as I can win this battle, I will get at least 800 million in profit. I will take this money and leave immediately. From now on, I will find a deserted corner of the world to spend my old age. I will leave these to the future generations to deal with.

Alas, this is all I can do. I hope the decisions at the meeting won't be made so quickly. I also hope the people behind me can withstand the pressure and not compromise too quickly.

In this way, we can arrange the finishing work properly. As long as there is no big chaos, there will be room for maneuver. With the connections I have accumulated over the years, if I really want to leave, no one should force me to stay..."

Unfortunately, although the plan is good, it still requires the cooperation of others.

Just when the situation between the two sides was about to break out, someone in the advancing team secretly gave and communicated with his absolute confidant in person.

"We'll find a way to stir up a dispute later, and we must take advantage of the chaos to kill Li Zehua. As long as he dies, hehe, all the troubles will be over."

The confidant suppressed his inner fear and said, "If we kill him, the world will be in chaos."

There was something in my heart that I didn't dare say, which was that once Li Zehua died, the higher-ups would be furious, and all the participants at the scene would have no chance of escaping.

"What are you afraid of? This is a decision made by Mr. Smith himself. If you dare to make a move, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life. What do you think? As long as you dare to make a move.

The bounty of nearly 1.5 million US dollars secretly offered outside is all yours. Mr. Smith also promised to pay a large additional sum and help your whole family move to a safe area immediately..."

Faced with the fatal temptation, the confidant hesitated, but the other party did not give him any time to consider and threatened: "At this point, do you think you still have a choice?
If you don't take action, Mr. Smith will immediately send the fatal evidence of your previous involvement to the higher-ups. Just imagine the consequences. The coal incident alone is enough to kill your entire family.

Think it over carefully and don’t say I didn’t remind you in advance. This opportunity is rare and countless big shots are waiting for you to report back good news. What if you do nothing?

Haha, when the rage of those big shots comes, it will have nothing to do with me."

The confidant was completely frightened. When he thought about what he had done before, he realized what would happen if those fatal handles were exposed.
Just thinking about it gave me chills, so I nodded without hesitation and said, "I'll do it, but I want to see the money and customs documents right away, and I want to see my family at the airport."

The person above nodded in satisfaction, and then made a phone call to make arrangements, but he sneered in his heart: "Do you think you deserve more than 100 million US dollars? Just fool them out and solve the problem later.

How stupid! Even in the movies, it says that only the dead can keep secrets. How can a man in his forties still be so naive? "

But no matter whether the other party sets foot on American soil and is then killed and fattened up, or ends up being scattered here and there, living in another form on other people's bodies.

That's none of his business.

Now everyone knows that Li Zehua is in Phoenix. In this small circle surrounded by them, if they can take the opportunity to get rid of him, it doesn’t matter even if they fail to get the last 27 tons of copper and cause the long position of copper futures to fail.

Spending hundreds of billions of dollars in exchange for a life would definitely not be worth that much money if it were anyone else, but if it was Li Zehua, they would accept it.

As long as the Qingyun Group is successfully disintegrated and we can take the opportunity to resolve the biggest expansion obstacle within Dongda Capital, this money will definitely be worth spending!
Moreover, once he dies, the leaderless Qingyun Group will inevitably fall into chaos. American capital can take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up some core resources, and the profits they gain will not only make up for the losses, but also make an extra fortune.

The hidden danger is approaching...

But Mr. Li was not panicked and was watching the fun.

Some even had the leisure to comment on the situation on the scene, "It's no good. They are the elite among the elite, but in the face of the numerical advantage, they are still defeated."

He was referring to the group of people pretending to be Qingyun Security, more than a hundred strong young men, who said they were special elite forces, but when they started fighting (no one dared to open fire first), they still couldn't hold the defense line.

He was gradually suppressed and forced to retreat towards the gate.

"Director Li, no matter how powerful a person is, there is a limit. The enemy has at least 700 to 800 people, and there are reinforcements outside. The few people I have can neither equip drones on a large scale nor have accurate firepower support from the rear.

Fighting with bare hands, even the deadly killing moves have to be concealed, for fear of being damaged by the opponent~"

A certain idiot who had called in advance and pretended to be a personal bodyguard and followed closely by him looked aggrieved, "If there really were no restrictions, I would not only use the Eighteen Black Moves, but also use deadly moves to attack vital points.

With more than 150 well-trained team members under my command, I can make the opponents lie down in ten minutes at most.

If I can use Boom Boom, haha, with this lineup, I guarantee no one will be able to stand in at most one minute."

"Okay, stop bragging. All I see is your people retreating."

Li Zehua pursed his lips, "I should have brought my own people here earlier, and dropped the TNT-carrying drone into the crowd, ending the battle in minutes."

Ermaosi wiped his sweat off his forehead and said, "Buddha, please don't do anything rash. There has been no clear order from above. It is taboo to take action at this stage. There is no need to take risks.

Wait a little longer, maybe good news will come soon.

Don't worry, the periphery has made sufficient preparations, just waiting for the order from the top, thousands of troops will come to meet us immediately!"

Li Zehua has made several phone calls to urge them, but the replies he got were that they were still under intense discussion and he would be notified immediately as soon as there was a result.

In desperation, he could only compromise and said, "In such a high-intensity confrontation, what if a gun goes off accidentally? What if the other side chooses to strike first?

No, I have to transfer hundreds of my men here just in case."

"No, please don't, my ancestors, at this critical moment, please don't add fuel to the fire. If something really happens, no one can take the responsibility."

Ermaosi begged desperately, thinking that your security forces were deliberately transferred away at the critical moment, because they were worried that the young people would be full of energy and start fighting if they disagreed with you.

For most people, some things would be like the sky falling. But now, Mr. Li is almost becoming a rule maker, and a small part of the future of Dongda Capital depends on him.

One of the biggest behind-the-scenes supporters of industrial upgrading, a well-deserved leader in overseas strategy, a guarantor of Southeast Asia’s core interests, and an initiator and executor of the smart manufacturing strategy.

As the helmsman of the core group of Dongda Capital, any one of these identities is enough to enjoy extraordinary treatment.

Not to mention that it is concentrated on one person. As long as he doesn't openly trample on the real bottom line in front of everyone, it's a small problem and there are plenty of people to help clean up the mess.

Even if he had nothing better to do and did something out of the ordinary, even exaggerating as destroying half the city, everyone would have to cooperate and explain that Qingyun was planning to optimize the city's layout plan.

The original urban layout is outdated, useless, inconvenient, and so on.

So when facing such an old man, Ermaosi was afraid that he was young and frivolous and could not bear the slightest grievance, so he quickly pointed to the team members behind him to seize the commanding heights and set up a long-distance truth to control the entire field.

He said confidently: "Don't worry, everything is under control. Before coming here, I specially asked the Governor's Office for a special application for up to 20 sniper teams, all of whom are top-notch players in the army.

As long as the other party dares to make any unusual moves, these sniper teams that have received the killing target will dare to open fire immediately."

Li Zehua was puzzled. "What indicators? There is such a thing?"

Ermaosi was eager to divert his attention, so he quickly explained and told some inside secrets in the hope of attracting his attention and distracting him from shouting for war and killing all day long.

At this moment, there was a hidden undercurrent in the Phoenix team. Some people could no longer sit still and were ready to take risks and give it a try.
It's a pity that they are fast, but some people are even faster~
Li Zehua was asking curiously when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the sky. Almost everyone was attracted by the noise and looked up at the sky at the same time.

In the distant sky, dozens of huge helicopters were seen flying towards this side at a very fast speed. Everyone knew that reinforcements from one side had arrived.

The troops guarding the storage area were delighted and their morale was instantly boosted, because it was obvious that only the Five Military Governor's Office could mobilize the helicopters.

The attacking side looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Someone hiding in the dark couldn't sit still anymore, and threatened coldly: "If you don't take action, your whole family will be buried with you. If you want to die, go ahead and die."

The confidant who was held fatally vulnerable had no choice but to secretly raise the short fire in his hand and aim in a certain direction, then close his eyes and suddenly pull the trigger.

With a crisp sound, the situation suddenly changed as if a huge rock was dropped into the calm water...
