Chapter Thirty-Four: Shock (First Update)

  Before long, the deputy officer came in to report that General ordered Commander Yang to meet him immediately and give a detailed report on the reasons for this operation. Mao Feng smiled at Yang Yongtai and said: "It's time, I should also make my appearance!"

  Yang Yongtai clapped his hands and smiled: "Then I'll congratulate Commander on a complete victory in advance."

  Maofeng stood up and burst out laughing, then took a step back and left. The laughter gradually faded away, while Yang Yongtai's smile turned into calmness, he remained seated, sipping the tea in his cup.

  After putting down the tea cup, a lot of time had passed. He muttered to himself: "I underestimated him. If he can really make me look at this matter with new eyes, then what's wrong with that? If he can really achieve something great, then history will surely record my merits! Kings and nobles, is there any difference?! Just because it doesn't work now, doesn't mean it won't work in the future!"

  Then he muttered in a low voice: "It's time to get ready!"

  As one of the key members of the political science department, he was once a major figure in Guangdong politics, and his influence was great both north and south. However, this influence has gradually decreased with his own retirement, and although his connections still exist, they cannot be compared to those of his heyday.

  Lin Hu summoned Mao Fengzhi. He needed to know what was going on and why they wanted to take action against the Gu family. This wasn't a small matter, it had too much impact.

  After Mao Feng met Lin Hu, he immediately reported the reason. Lin Hu's expression changed and said: "Is this thing certain? You must understand that the Gu family has influence not only in Chaozhou, but also in Guangzhou and Nan Yue! I don't want to be crowned with the crime of massacre."

  Mao Feng's low voice said: "General, the evidence is conclusive, all assassins have been captured, and the manager of the Gu family, who is also the contact person, has also been captured. This is called 'both the person and the goods are obtained', he can't deny it."

  "Hmm!" Lin Hu nodded and lowered his head to start thinking deeply.

  Looking at Lin Hu, Mao Feng didn't make a sound and didn't immediately speak up to disturb him. Instead, he waited for a while before opening his mouth to say: "General, the Gu family's assets are abundant, this is timely rain for you!"

  Lin Hu narrowed his eyes, then burst out laughing and stood up, saying: "That's right, military pay is the best guarantee for comforting troops, it's also the best representation of a troop's combat effectiveness. Without money, this troop can't be maintained."

  Mao Feng listened and still shook his head in his heart. He was very disappointed that Lin Hu's mind was focused on the troops, but not on the people's livelihood. Lin Hu's future achievements would be nothing more than this.

  Lin Hu felt relieved that Mao Feng understood him so well, it was worth his appreciation and promotion of him, truly a capable assistant!

  The battle at the Gu's residence has reached its final stage, with defeated servants lying everywhere. The women and children of the Gu family have all been captured and are now squatting in the large garden of the Gu's residence. The children are trembling with fear in the arms of their elders, while some of the women are pale with terror as they stare at the plundering soldiers.

  The remaining defenders of the Gu family were in the last house, desperately resisting. Zhao Pingzhou was personally directing the battle at this moment. Seeing that the Gu family was still resisting, he coldly said: "Give me a machine gun sweep, open fire!"

  Two heavy machine guns, four light machine guns and rifles all fired at the house in unison, bullets rained down inside and outside the house. Amidst the gunfire, faint cries of agony could still be heard.

  Before long, shouts of surrender came from the house, and a white flag was hung out. Zhao Pingzhou saw it and coldly said: "Let them come out one by one, everyone be on guard."

  The master of the Gu family no longer had his former prestige, like a dog falling into water, his glory was gone. When they all walked out of the house, when they all came out with their hands raised high, the three battalions sent out a team to start capturing them, and the Gu family members were all tied up and controlled.

  Zhao Pingzhou came before the host of the Gu family, and looking at him with his mouth said: "Why can't you have a good day without doing this? Don't you know that when things go wrong, the whole family will be unlucky? Your own death is a small matter, but what about your family members? They will also die with you!"

  The host of Gu's family stammered: "This has nothing to do with them, please give me some face, I'll cooperate fully!"

  Zhao Pingzhou said calmly, "You'd better pray! This is not something I can control. Considering our past relationship, I advise you to cooperate with the commander and maybe you'll be able to keep your life."

  "Take him away!"

  The Gu family, one of the four major families in Chaozhou, was arrested by Ma Feng's security team today. Many people hid at home and watched through the gaps as the Gu family members were tied up and taken away. This scene shocked everyone, but also made some poor citizens feel happy to see others suffer!

  Today is Mao Feng's big happy day, but today is also a day of continuous gunfire. Just today, the Gu family was eliminated, and the Gu family was removed from the four major families.

  Ding Hua sat calmly in his seat, surrounded by the Ding family's servants and relatives. These people were all nervous and frightened, they had been scared out of their wits by today's events. The Gu family was even more powerful than the Ding family, but they had just been taken down by Mao Fengzi.

  These people are all close to Ding Hua, and they all understand that this future son-in-law is not a good person, but rather more mutually exploitative. However, today, this son-in-law has come up with such a move, what exactly does it imply?

  They all looked at Zhū Xīn Gǔ, looking at Ding Hua, apparently wanting to know the answer from Ding Hua's mouth.

  Ding Hua's heart was filled with shock and horror, he already knew why Mao Feng did this, it was a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, also for his own promotion, this person would not be bound by so-called emotions, as long as someone blocked his way, he would eliminate them without hesitation, ruthless and merciless!

  He wants to use this person to develop his own family's power, but it's not as simple as he thinks. If he gets the support of the Gu family's wealth, what can he do? This person has really established prestige among the people! This is the Gu family, and even I don't have that ability. He did something that I couldn't do, so maybe from now on, the relationship between my Ding family and Maofeng will need to be reevaluated. It's not equal, but rather Maofeng takes the lead and the Ding family follows. The Ding family can only cooperate fully, otherwise this person will definitely take action against the Ding family!

  After having this realization, Ding Hua's face revealed a desolate expression, but he quickly regained his composure. He thought to himself that he couldn't lose his demeanor at this moment, and besides, he also thought that even if nothing else, Mao Feng was still his son-in-law after all, and counted as a member of the Ding family! Compared to others, the Ding family still had an advantage.

  "Look, look! This person is not even older than you, but look at how he does things, without hesitation, he took down Gu Jia! He's swift and decisive, you can't even keep up with him by flattering. I hope you won't have conflicts with this person in the future, and you must get along well with him. No matter what task it is, just agree to do it, and do your best, use all your abilities, do you understand?"

  Huang Shan Hong nodded, and with a bitter smile said: "Who would have thought that this person would be like this? Originally thought that this person was also one who eats soft rice, now I know that this person is a wolf in sheep's clothing, eating meat without spitting out bones! Father, rest assured, although the child is foolish, he still knows how to avoid calamity and seek good fortune. The child will definitely remember it in his heart."

  Dong Hao, the fattest of the family heads, known as the "Laughing Tiger", was also solemn at this moment. He too spoke to his trusted aide: "Fortunately, we didn't have deep connections with them and didn't agree to be their inside man. Otherwise, it would've been our family's turn today. It seems that Lin Hu trusts Mao Feng deeply. Mao Feng has an extraordinary aura about him, decisive! Seizing the opportunity without hesitation, he launched a lightning-fast attack, giving his opponent no chance at all! If not, the Gu family would have mobilized their connections and by now they wouldn't be in such a pitiful state!"

  His subordinates all nodded in agreement, today's events had a huge impact on them! They were also shocked by Mao Feng's actions today.

  This is also the first time Chaozhou has suffered a military disaster, and it's still a family affair. One of the most powerful forces on the ground in Chaozhou was finished just like that, in such a short period of time.

  Dong Hao said to his confidants: "From now on, be careful with what you do, temporarily sever ties with that side, and get rid of all the loose ends for me. I also need to rehandle my relationship with this person properly. This person is not a mediocre one! One day they will rise to prominence!"
