Chapter 171 Jinjiang Explosion and Hostage Case!
In the complex vortex of power struggle in Jinjiang City, Qi Tongwei is like a black hand hidden behind the scenes, constantly stirring up the situation and trying to further intensify the conflict between Zheng Gang and Li Zhitian.
In order to further fuel the tense relationship between Zheng Gang and Li Zhitian, Qi Tongwei continued to threaten David, forcing David to act as his informant to incite Li Zhitian.
David knew very well that he was under Qi Tongwei's control and did not have much choice.
He gritted his teeth and found Li Zhitian, with a hint of reluctance and helplessness on his face.
At this time, Li Zhitian was still in shock from the previous assassination attempt, but he still pretended to be calm and dealt with various affairs.
David took a deep breath and said, "I have to tell you something. You know Fang Xin, right? He is under control now."
Li Zhitian frowned slightly, his heart tightening. He knew that Fang Xin was a key figure in his plan, and was very surprised that Fang Xin was controlled.
David continued, "You see, the current situation is not favorable to us. If we don't act now, we will most likely lose everything. You also know how important opportunities are in the business world. If we miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will take to find it again?"
After hearing this, Li Zhitian fell into deep thought. His eyes became deep and he paced back and forth in the room.
He knew in his heart that Zheng Gang had always regarded him as a thorn in his side and was looking for every opportunity to suppress him.
Zheng Gang had previously used some official means to restrict him. Although Zheng Gang has not yet obtained evidence of his crimes that is fatal enough, this continued suppression has made him feel very depressed.
However, Li Zhitian was not completely defenseless.
He knew very well that he had some leverage over Zheng Gang, which was enough to put Zheng Gang in trouble.
He is not the kind of impulsive young man who would risk everything without considering the consequences.
In his opinion, what he had to do now was to give Zheng Gang a warning, so that Zheng Gang could reflect on himself and reflect on his behavior.
If Zheng Gang is unwilling, he will have to find a way to force Zheng Gang to submit.
Li Zhitian stopped and said to David slowly, "You are right. Zheng Gang thought he could keep suppressing me. He thought too simply. I will not sit still and wait for death."
Especially after Li Zhitian experienced the failed assassination attempt, his hatred and desire for revenge towards Zheng Gang became stronger.
He mobilized his extensive underground intelligence network and used all means to dig up Zheng Gang's dark history.
Hard work pays off. He discovered that Zheng Gang used his power to brutally suppress a contractor in a construction project.
The contractor had originally taken on the project with great hope, but Zheng Gang used various means to trip him up. In the end, not only did he lose all his money on the project, but he also had to bear huge debts. His family was shattered by this series of blows and fell into despair.
Li Zhitian, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, found this contractor who was full of hatred.
At this time, the contractor had been tortured by life and had lost his former glory. There was nothing in his eyes except despair and hatred. He was lingering in a corner in tattered clothes.
Li Zhitian said to him with a sly smile: "Do you want revenge? I can help you, as long as you do what I say."
When the contractor heard this, a blazing fire of hope instantly ignited in his dead eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw.
So, Li Zhitian gave the contractor some money and enough explosives to create great panic, and instigated him to go to the busiest street in Jinjiang City to take hostages in order to threaten Zheng Gang.
The contractor, filled with anger and determination, rushed into a bus with explosives in his hand.
His eyes were red, as if burning with the flames of hell. He frantically grabbed a woman and a child from the crowd, tied explosives tightly to himself, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Listen to me!"
"Call Deputy Mayor Zheng Gang over here!"
"Zheng Gang, you corrupt official, you have ruined my family. If you don't come out and give me an explanation today, I will perish with these people!"
"..."
This shout was like dropping a bombshell on a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of the street.
In this kind of social atmosphere, they took hostages and even named the deputy mayor!
The news quickly spread throughout Handong!
Even the whole country!
When Zheng Gang heard the news, he was shocked. He knew clearly that if this matter was not handled properly, the political career he had worked hard to build for many years would be completely ruined.
He didn't have time to think about it and quickly rushed to the scene with his trusted confidants.
When Zheng Gang arrived, the scene was already surrounded by people.
The police set up a cordon around the area with nervous expressions, trying to prevent more people from approaching the dangerous area.
The crowd watched from a distance, their faces filled with fear and curiosity.
They were whispering and talking to each other, and the whole scene was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere.
Zheng Gang saw the contractor holding explosives, his eyes full of madness and despair, and the hostages trembling under his hold.
The woman's face was covered with tear marks, which showed her fear and helplessness. The child was so scared that he burst into tears, and his cries were particularly harsh in this tense atmosphere.
Zheng Gang tried hard to calm himself down. He knew very well that he had to remain calm at this moment, even though his heart was already in turmoil.
He shouted at the contractor, "Calm down first. We can talk about anything. Don't hurt innocent people."
When the contractor saw Zheng Gang, he became even more agitated. He roared at Zheng Gang like a mad beast, "Zheng Gang, are you scared now? When you suppressed me, why didn't you think this day would come? You made me lose everything, and today I will destroy your reputation!"
Beads of sweat appeared on Zheng Gang's forehead. He knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation and any wrong move could lead to irreversible consequences.
He said carefully: "I can solve the problem you mentioned, as long as you release the hostage first."
At this moment, the air around seemed to freeze, everyone held their breath, the scene was dead silent, with only the sobbing of the hostages and the occasional sobbing of the children, everyone was waiting for the contractor's response.
All major media outlets in Jinjiang heard the news and rushed to the scene like sharks smelling blood.
TV reporters carrying cameras and holding microphones squeezed through the crowd, trying to occupy the best shooting position.
They excitedly reported to the camera: "Dear viewers, we are now live broadcasting a thrilling hostage-taking incident for you on the busiest street in Jinjiang City. It is reported that the hostage-taker is a contractor. He accused our city official Zheng Gang of corruption and suppressed him, causing his family to be broken up.
