Shangguan Shoudong hesitated for a moment.

He waved to the audience below.

A middle-aged man, looking like a secretary, hurriedly ran up to the stage.

Shangguan Shoudong handed over the materials to him.

The secretary studied them for a moment and quickly inserted them into the computer.

Behind the podium, there was a large screen.

The screen flickered for a moment.

Soon, the footage of Song Jiangshan that Chen Fang had secretly filmed was played.

When the entire process finished playing, most of those present were stunned, though the conversation did not clearly state what Song Jiangshan intended to do, the fragmented words hinted at his preparations for rebellion.

Peng Guoliang was terrified.

Zhu Chuanguo was also terrified.

Though Shangguan Shoudong was surprised too, his expression didn't change much.

He turned his head to look at Chen Fang in front of him, paused for a moment, and asked, "Is it Hou Jidao?"

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Up to this point.

Shangguan Shoudong finally showed an incredulous expression.

Of course, he knew the background, but he never imagined Hou Jidao had such audacity.

"Li Chong, call the authorities."

Shangguan Shoudong paused for a moment, then solemnly instructed the secretary.

The secretary quickly took out his phone.

After fiddling with it for a while.

His expression also turned anxious.

"Leader, there's no signal on the phone."

As soon as he said this.

The others around also hastily took out their phones.

Indeed, all phones had lost signal.

"Is there a landline?"

Shangguan Shoudong asked Zhu Chuanguo.

Zhu Chuanguo immediately looked towards Peng Guoliang.

Peng Guoliang, still in shock, was taken aback and quickly said, "Yes, yes, there's one over there."

He pointed to a small room beside the podium.

The secretary named Li Chong quickly ran inside, and before long, came out with a distressed face, shaking his head, he said, "The phone line has been cut."

Realizing the gravity of the situation.

Zhu Chuanguo quickly said, "Mr. Shangguan, this is a trapped dead end, we can't stay here, we have to leave immediately, once we're out of Xiaxiang City, we'll be safe."

"What do you think?"

Shangguan Shoudong asked Chen Fang.

Clearly, he was beginning to trust Chen Fang now.

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "Hou Jidao has been planning this for a long time. Now that the phone lines are cut, it means they intend to act early. We can't get out of this auditorium, and even if we do, there's no safe place in Xiaxiang City or even Jiangdong Province."

"Does Hou Jidao really have the guts for this? Even if he dares, isn't he afraid of public condemnation?"

Zhu Chuanguo shouted out.

Chen Fang sneered.

He said, "Secretary Zhu, Hou Jidao completed his arrangements in Jiangdong Province under your control without anyone knowing. Do you think after this, he won't cover it up? No one will know what happened today, and there will be no record. If Mr. Shangguan dies suddenly, what does that have to do with him?"

"Impossible! He can't do that! There are over a hundred people here, are they all blind?"

Zhu Chuanguo retorted indignantly.

A disdainful smile appeared on Chen Fang's face, and he said, "Secretary Zhu, throughout history, only the victor's truth prevails. If something happens to Mr. Shangguan, it's likely that someone the Hou Family has prepared will take the stage. At that time, among you present, who will speak up for Mr. Shangguan? Will you? Will you?"

Chen Fang randomly pointed at two people.

Those two hung their heads in shame.

Chen Fang was speaking the truth.

They were all political figures.

Who among them did not understand the implications?

"So what do we do now? We can't go out, and if we stay here, won't they come for us? What's the difference from waiting to die?"

As soon as Zhu Chuanguo's words fell.

There was a loud crash at the door Chen Fang had entered through.

The door shook.

Clearly, someone outside was trying to break in.

Chen Fang glanced at Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng nodded.

Immediately ordered his men to bring over the tables and chairs that were set aside to block the door.

After some busying around.

The noise of the door being hit grew quieter.

However, the panic of everyone reached a peak.

Especially those sitting below the stage.

No one had ever experienced this situation before, and some women were even starting to cry.

"Leaders, are you all right? I'm the Director of Xiaxiang Municipal Public Security Bureau, my name is Shen Jianye, I heard something happened here, so I brought people over."

Outside the door, Shen Jianye shouted with a loudspeaker.

"Rescue is here, rescue is here..."

Upon hearing Shen Jianye's voice.

Zhu Chuanguo immediately became excited.

He shouted to Zhang Cheng's men who were blocking the door, "Open the door quickly, let them in, once they are in we will be safe."

"Don't let them in!"

Chen Fang suddenly shouted.

Zhang Cheng's men, naturally, listened to Chen Fang.

With his shout.

None of them moved.

Zhu Chuanguo was taken aback.

He turned angrily to Chen Fang and said, "What are you doing? The rescue is here and you won't let them in, do you want to get us killed?"

"Shen Jianye is also one of Song Jiangshan's people. Letting him in is like throwing ourselves to the wolves."

Chen Fang said.

Zhu Chuanguo disliked Chen Fang.

As the head, he had no authority. How could he possibly see Chen Fang favorably?

He asked Yu Hua, the Chief of the Provincial Public Security Department who had come along, "Is Shen Jianye reliable?"

Yu Hua didn't even think.

Nodded and said, "Secretary Zhu, Shen Jianye is reliable, when he came to Xiaxiang City to take the position of director, our provincial department reviewed him, there's absolutely no problem."

Hearing this.

Zhu Chuanguo smugly glanced at Chen Fang.

Appearing to say, see, I said this person is reliable, and he is. I said he's the rescue, and he is the rescue.

"Then open the door!"

Zhu Chuanguo gave the order again.

"Do not open the door, if the door opens, we're done for."

Chen Fang pleaded earnestly.

An angry Zhu Chuanguo finally erupted.

He pointed at Chen Fang's face and shouted, "Chen Fang, who do you think you are? A mere deputy mayor, with so many leaders present, is our decision-making less competent than yours? We must open this door now, this is my order."

"Secretary Zhu, we're still safe in the auditorium. If we open the door and they come in, it'll be too late to regret it."

Chen Fang weakly argued.

Zhu Chuanguo, desperate to survive, couldn't listen to anything else; his only thought was to leave Xiaxiang City as soon as possible.

With a wave of his hand.

He ordered Peng Guoliang, "Take your men and open the door for me, I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
