Duan Wujiu's lips twitched.

Insidious politicians... more like it.

Of course, he only dared to grumble to himself in his heart.

...

As expected.

The No. 1 wall quickly ran out of food.

In some small and medium-sized grain stores, prices soared, and cries of despair began to echo throughout the entire area.

This approach had no effect on the Dong Party patriarchs or the conglomerates, but it dealt a severe blow to ordinary people.

It wasn't until their strike and the loss of their livelihood that they realized they were almost unable to afford food, even after only a few days.

Protests across the country began to subside, with workers wanting nothing more than to go back to work. A series of problems caused by the food shortage were starting to surface. Of course, this was a double-edged sword; the new parliament would certainly be affected, but Qin Che was certain that the losses for those Eastern Party officials would be far greater.

Local government associations and secret organizations held numerous meetings to discuss the matter.

"Damn it, we're out of food. What do we do now?"

"If this continues, our protest will be aborted."

“In the past two days, some colleagues have wanted to compromise because the losses have started to increase, but they can’t even see Qin Che and are kept out.”

"What does this mean? Is Qin Che really going to kill us all? Isn't he afraid of inciting public outrage?!"

"Let's just go and join the Oasis Alliance, everyone, come with me to the north!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"To be honest, the Green Union governor might actually accept us. The chaos here is exactly what they can do."

Within the society, some people began to make plans in their minds.

Some people felt that joining Green Union would not bring them as much as they had gained from Wall One.

However, some people believe that going to the north will also lead to important responsibilities.

They all joined the group with their own investment, so the governor in the north couldn't possibly refuse to give them face.

Moreover, if the Green Alliance were to fight Lingbi, it would be impossible without their help.

"Gentlemen, I have a plan. Let's just spread the word and shift the blame for the food problem onto the Forest Group and the new parliament. Let the fire burn even brighter and cause another ruckus. If we fail again this time, I'll admit defeat."

"Hmm? That's a good idea. The citizens have run out of food. We need to make them realize that even if they go back to work, they won't be able to buy food."

"This is clearly Qin Che's conspiracy to stop the protest in this way!"

"That's right, release the news!"

I agree!

...

At the same time,

Lingbi Heavy Industry, top floor, CEO's office.

Chu Qin, Lu Qingzhou, and Zhao Lisu were sitting together, discussing countermeasures.

"First came the protests, then the Forest Group deliberately cut off supplies. This was clearly Qin Che's doing, you foolish superhuman."

"Could it be that he wants to use this method to end the confrontation and force us to compromise?"

"Ha, how could that be? The Eastern Party and he are already mortal enemies."

Of the three, only Zhao Lisu remained silent.

Chu Qin looked at him: "Old Zhao, Qin Che has taken everything from the Fu Party, don't you want to say anything?"

Zhao Lisu shook his head: "The fact that I'm sitting here is my protest. Don't even think about asking me for any suggestions. You know what I represent."

—Medical resources.

Chu Qin thought to himself, but shrugged: "No pressure."

Lu Qingzhou asked, "What should we say when we meet the three elders later?"

“Now there are so many organizations forming and starting fires everywhere. We need to unite the elders to bring them together. The No. 1 Wall is still dominated by the financial groups. The foundation has been laid and cannot be easily changed. The new council wants to undermine our foundation. I believe the three elders will not sit idly by.” Chu Qin said calmly.

Lu Qingzhou sneered, "A new parliament? This is probably just a smokescreen in name only. Qin Che probably wants to turn the parliament into a complete military cabinet or a royal cabinet or something like that after this matter is resolved."

Chu Qin couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the secretary pushed open the door and came in, "The three directors and the elders have arrived in the meeting room."

Chu Qin stood up and straightened his clothes, saying, "Let's go, let's meet them first."

The three people left the office and went to the conference room, where three old men were sitting quietly drinking tea.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh elders.

Liu Baicang, Zhang Kejian, and Xu Linshu all arrived.

They are now the leaders and role models of the East Party, and faced with this raging fire that cannot be extinguished, they have no choice but to show themselves.

Lingbi Heavy Industry has abundant resources.

Industry, weaponry, pharmaceuticals, including the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain... industrial machinery parts, ammunition groups, pharmaceutical engineering, and still-operating pharmaceutical factories, etc.

They are just as important as food.

It is a bargaining chip that the East Party still holds tightly in its hands.

It is an ace that can rival Qin Che and be put on the stage!

Liu Baicang put down his teacup and smiled, "Chu Qin, have you thought of a way?"

Chu Qin sighed: "Old Liu, please don't make fun of me. Qin Che's offensive is very fierce. We can't fight him by relying solely on the associations below."

Liu Baicang shrugged and said, "I was just testing him. Now that I think about it, Qin Che's deliberate inaction had a deeper meaning. He wanted us to go up to the arena and play our cards openly with him."
