Chapter 512: Action Begins
Hu Li?
This was beyond Su Xia's expectations.
At the meeting that day, Su Xia always focused on the older generation and did not pay much attention to this seemingly outstanding young man.
After all, no matter how outstanding Hu Li is, he still has a long way to go. He has not even entered the core layer of City No. 9 and is still working as the mayor's secretary in City No. 8 to hone his abilities.
Su Xia's focus of observation was on people with greater power like Qiu Hao.
"Hu Li...what role did he play in this matter?"
Su Xia frowned slightly and continued to observe.
In that private room, except Hu Li, the others were not from this continent.
Through their communication, Su Xia learned that these people were all from Eagle City and Lion City.
Eagle City, located on the eastern continent, is separated from the central continent by a vast ocean and is said to be the most powerful of the seven human settlements.
Lion City is on the western continent, also separated from here by a sea.
The purpose of these people coming here is very simple.
Just as Su Xia thought, they wanted to overthrow the current Dragon City and build a new Dragon City, a completely obedient Dragon City.
"Your old city lord of Longcheng cannot see the situation clearly and always goes against us at the gathering meetings. This is not good and we really don't like it." A blond and blue-eyed man said in a deep voice in the private room.
"I know."
Hu Li sat opposite the man, always with a confident smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He smiled faintly and said, "According to the agreement, the new Lord of Dragon City must be someone I designate. You won't forget that, right?"
"Of course we won't forget, Hu. We are people who value promises very much." Another blonde woman spoke up. She was from Lion City.
"oh?"
Hu Li raised his mouth, his smile became more obvious, and said: "Back then, Xiongcheng used weapons to exchange food with you, and you used moldy and rotten old food in exchange. Is this what you call valuing promises?"
"Hu, that incident was led by the conservatives and had nothing to do with us. Now Lion City is dominated by our faction." The blonde woman replied.
"Oh, you can deny . You are worthy of being from the Western Continent." Hu Li picked up a glass of red wine with a smile on his face and sarcasm in his words.
"Hu, I hope you can watch your words." The blonde woman frowned and looked a little unhappy.
"Of course, don't worry, I'm a gentleman."
Hu Li took a sip of red wine with an elegant movement.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
Several people looked at each other, and one of the blond men stood up, walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and then opened the door.
After opening the door, a middle-aged man walked in, glanced at the situation in the private room, and frowned after seeing Hu Li.
Su Xia was not surprised by this man's arrival because he had been monitoring this guy.
The head of the research institute, Qin Shou!
During these ten days, Qin Shou has been very cautious.
He did not do anything out of line, nor did he send any inappropriate messages to anyone, until today, when his true colors were exposed.
"Director Qin arrived quite quickly." Hu Li still smiled and raised his glass to Qin Shou.
"Um."
Qin Shou replied calmly and then found a chair to sit down.
The other people in the private room were not surprised by his arrival, and it was obvious that they had already made contact.
Qin Shou's arrival also answered a long-standing question for Su Xia - where did the arms go!
"Captain Qin, have you hidden the weapons? Make sure they are not discovered by that old guy." The blonde woman asked.
"Yes, it's hidden." Qin Shou replied indifferently.
"Director Qin doesn't seem very happy?" Hu Li suddenly spoke and asked with a smile.
"You take the biggest risk but get the smallest return. If it were you, would you be happy?" Qin Shou asked calmly.
"Director Qin is not right." Hu Li said with a smile: "After this is done, the finances of the entire Dragon City will be in your hands. This is a huge profit. I am a little tempted."
"Put away your weird face and speak properly!"
Qin Shou snorted coldly, seeming to dislike cooperating with Hu Li.
Hu Li, as his name suggests, is as cunning as a fox, and his deep scheming is totally inconsistent with his age.
He was the one who led the cooperation with Singapore and Singapore.
Even the specific cooperation matters were drafted by him personally.
This young man was very calculating and even left them a way out in case of failure, and more than one way.
Among these, the best way out is to pretend to be innocent and unaware, and put all the blame on Qiu Hao, the second-in-command of the institute.
Yes, Qiu Hao has nothing to do with this matter!
Although all the problems were in the 031 Institute under his jurisdiction, he was completely unaware of it. It was just that there were problems with his subordinates, so he behaved like that at the meeting that day.
"Director Qin, is there any problem with Qiu Hao?" Hu Li asked with a smile.
"Well, everything is under control."
The unfortunate Qiu Hao didn't know yet that he had become the scapegoat for this incident.
Even if things succeed in the end, he will be slowly squeezed out and gradually become a marginal figure in Dragon City.
He might even die inexplicably one day and be gradually forgotten.
At this moment, he was still in his office at the 031 Research Institute, analyzing a research report submitted to him by his subordinates.
“A-choo!”
Qiu Hao suddenly sneezed.
His face darkened, he rubbed his nose, and whispered to himself: "Damn it, it must be that old bastard Shi Sishi who cursed me behind my back!"
…
In the private room, several people were still communicating.
The blonde woman asked Hu Li: "After the new Dragon City is established, who do you plan to make the city lord? You? Or your uncle? Or someone else?"
Hu Li smiled and said, "Of course it's my uncle. My uncle raised me up, so I have to repay him, right?"
The smile on his face was very natural.
But for some reason, the others all saw some sinister meaning in it.
After the establishment of the new Dragon City, the old dean will most likely not have a good ending.
"Don't underestimate your uncle. He has a great influence in Dragon City." The blonde woman reminded, "Also, I heard that he met a very capable resistance commander outside. Keep an eye on him."
"Oh, the North Wind?"
Hu Li said casually, chuckled and said, "He's just the leader of a small organization. I know him. Don't worry too much."
"Don't underestimate the enemy." said the blonde woman.
"Don't worry, my uncle secretly got an ID card for Bei Feng, and he thought no one knew about it." Hu Li said easily, "But I have already obtained his authority. As long as the ID card is activated, I will be notified. At that time... I will make Bei Feng regret coming to Dragon City."
As he spoke, he took a sip of his drink.
"People from small places should stay in small places. This kind of thing is not something he can interfere with."
"Hu, you seem to have some opinion about Bei Feng?" The blonde woman noticed that Hu Li's tone had fluctuated compared to before, indicating that he was not calm deep down in his heart, and was far from being as relaxed as he appeared.
At this time, Qin Shou on the side spoke.
He said calmly, "He always thought he was the best of the younger generation, until not long ago, when that old guy came back from the Oasis camp and kept mentioning Bei Feng's name in front of him, which made him very uncomfortable."
"Director Qin, you can't say such things casually." Hu Li smiled indifferently, as if he didn't take it to heart.
The atmosphere seemed a little off.
Seeing him like this, the others tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
Then they talked about the specific time of action.
At present, the power of various rumors has not yet reached its maximum, and the situation inside Longcheng is still relatively stable.
Even if there is a sufficient batch of arms, it may not be able to completely overthrow the current system, so they still need to prepare.
After discussion, they set the date three months later.
"Lion City and Eagle City will fully support your actions. Three months is not a short time. You two must pay attention to your own safety and don't expose yourself in advance."
"Don't worry about this, we know."
The conversation between the two sides went smoothly.
After the conversation, they discussed the time and place for their next meeting.
After a while, Hu Li put on his human skin mask, left the private room first, and left the club through a hidden passage.
Qin Shouze waited for half an hour before leaving and chose another secret passage.
The two thought they were doing it very secretly, but they didn't know that Su Xia was watching them all.
"A nephew of the dean hiding in the dark, plus a head of the research institute on the surface, can indeed stir up a bloody storm in Dragon City, not to mention the help of Lion City and Eagle City..."
The identities of these two people are very special, especially Hu Li.
Before, his identity might not have been a big deal.
But now that the old city lord was attacked and the old dean became the acting city lord, Hu Li's status naturally rose.
The previous attack was most likely planned by Hu Li.
Su Xia left nanorobots on them to monitor their every move in real time.
Over the next ten days, those people from Lion City and Eagle City did not leave the club, but stayed in the club, never taking a single step out of the club, and even rarely went out of the private room.
Hu Li and Qin Shou were still doing their jobs, going to get off work and coming home normally every day, and communicating cordially with their colleagues. There was nothing unusual.
During these ten days, Su Xia followed the clues and gradually got to know most of the people involved in this matter.
A rough count shows that there are at least a thousand people.
This number is scary.
Among them, many are core members of various research institutes, a few are from the academic school, and only a very small number are from the city lord's faction.
If they riot at the same time and seize the initiative, they will most likely be able to seize control of Dragon City within half a day.
"It's time to end it."
Su Xia calculated the time and it was time to close the net.
At this time, the task also sent him a prompt.
[Mission: Dragon City Split]
[The second phase of the mission "Dawn" has been completed]
[The third stage of the mission "Bloody Dawn" begins]
[Task Description: After a long investigation, you have basically figured out the reason for the split of Dragon City and found out the mastermind behind it. It's time to act.]
[Mission requirements: Protect the safety and ensure his survival until the end of the mission]
The task requirements are not difficult.
There are several people around Hu Yun arranged by Hu Li.
Su Xia just needs to kill them in advance.
With the strength of a level 5 creature like Dean Hu Yun, he will basically have no problem surviving to the end as long as he is not ambushed by someone close to him.
Su Xia glanced out the window. It was dusk and the sky was crimson, which was particularly beautiful.
He stood up from his chair and slowly moved the muscles of his whole body, and there was a crackling sound from the joints of his ten fingers.
"Mr. Su, it's time for dinner." The voice of little girl Wang Mengqi came from the kitchen, very clear.
"good."
Su Xia smiled and walked over to have dinner with the two of them.
After dinner, he said to the two men, "There may be some gunfire in the city tonight. Don't be afraid. It won't affect you. Just close the doors and windows."
"Mr. Su, is something big going to happen?" A trace of worry appeared on the face of the woman Liang Qian.
"It's not a big deal, just a few deaths."
Su Xia smiled gently, reassuring the two of them.
When the sun rises tomorrow, Longcheng will still be Longcheng, and they and they will still be them, nothing will change.
Afterwards, Su Xia gave a few more instructions and left some weapons.
Both mother and daughter knew how to use weapons, and since Longcheng had trained every resident over the age of ten, this saved Su Xia a lot of trouble.
After doing this, he went out.
It was already past seven in the evening and the curfew was about to be implemented.
Su Xia turned on the stealth function and walked along the main road of City No. 8 towards the tunnel leading to City No. 9, and then entered City No. 9 through the tunnel.
City No. 9 is the largest city in the entire Dragon City. It is bustling with tall buildings, busy traffic, and looks like a modern metropolis.
Compared with the other fifteen cities, City No. 9 has a lot more neon colors and is no different from the big cities outside.
In the center of the city, there is a large square building, which is the power center of Longcheng.
Su Xia came to see the old dean.
But the old dean was not in the central building at this time. He was in the college on the east side of the city.
The college is very large, much larger than the pharmacist school that Suxia is currently building. It has more than twenty buildings and is like an independent small town.
When Su Xia saw the old dean, he was in his college office, wearing a pair of reading glasses and working on a document about expired food under the light of an old desk lamp with a frown on his face.
The office door was open so that others could come in and report to him at any time.
Suddenly, an invisible wind seemed to blow by.
“Crack…”
The old wooden door moved slowly and closed.
The old dean raised his head, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a smile appeared on his old face.
Although it seemed that there was no one else in the office, he asked, "Bei Feng?"
"It's me."
Su Xia answered and slowly appeared.
After seeing
"Yes."
Su Xia pulled out a stool and sat opposite the old dean's desk.
"You may not believe what I'm about to say."
