At this point, the call was abruptly cut off. Luo Zidong, still holding the phone in disbelief, suddenly slammed it back down and dialed again. Soon, the other end answered.

As soon as the call connected, he asked urgently, "This is Luo Zidong, where is Third Master?"

The head of the bodyguards who stayed at the Lu Mansion, upon hearing that it was Luo Zidong, quickly and earnestly replied, "It's Brother Dong! After you left, Third Master said he couldn't resist the urge to do it, so he went to the Guangyuan Metropolis again. He's probably having fun there now!"

Upon hearing this answer, Luo Zidong lost all hope. He quickly recalled the two trucks that collided on Yanshan Street. Now he was almost certain that it was a trap, but unfortunately, he hadn't realized it at the time.

The other party had already set up a trap, but in the end, the master still fell into it and lost his life.

Luo Zidong was extremely anxious, but he quickly calmed down. He Zhu's report was timely, and he knew about the news earlier than others. He had to take advantage of this opportunity to act quickly and stabilize the situation before others could react.

I still have time. In order to smoothly take over the power from my master and prevent the entire temple from falling apart and becoming easy prey for others, I still have a lot to do tonight.

Luo Zidong possesses considerable power and holds a position in the gang second only to Lu Tianqiao. What he needs to do now is to concentrate the power he can control, seize control of the situation as quickly as possible, and smoothly take over the leadership.

He quickly picked up the phone and dialed them one by one.

At this moment, Zhao Rong, a minor leader of the Green Gang responsible for protecting Fu Yaozu, was dozing off in the living room at Fu Yaozu's home.

A few days ago, Lu Tianqiao sent him with twenty skilled gunmen to Fu Yaozu's home to protect Fu Yaozu's safety. These past few days have been peaceful, and nothing has gone wrong.

Just then, the telephone rang in the living room, startling Zhao Rong awake.

At that moment, a bodyguard came out of a room next door. He was one of the gunmen Zhao Rong had brought. He was on duty that night and had rushed out as soon as he heard the phone ring.

Seeing that it was Zhao Rong guarding the living room, he quickly said, "Brother Rong, aren't you resting?"

Zhao Rong picked up the phone with his right hand, raised his left hand at the same time, glanced at his watch, and said, "You should go out and relieve me of my shift."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" the gunman replied quickly and hurried out the door.

But when Zhao Rong answered the phone, his body stiffened instantly, and his face became even more unpleasant.

"I understand, Brother Dong!" Zhao Rong's voice turned stiff, as dry as a piece of firewood. "Take everyone back now, and my men will obey you!"

Zhao Rong put down the phone, his lips trembling for a moment, still unable to calm the shock in his heart. The news Luo Zidong had told him had left him completely at a loss for words.

His master and his protector, Lu Tianqiao, was attacked and killed. So many bodyguards, yet not one of them survived, and they didn't even know who the murderer was.

Zhao Rong subconsciously picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took out the matchbox. He tried to strike the match several times, but couldn't get it to light. Finally, frustrated, he threw the match and cigarette on the ground.

He strode to the room where his men were resting and loudly ordered, "Everyone, pack your things! We're heading back to the Lu Mansion right now!"

So, at his urging, his twenty gunmen hurriedly left the Fu family, and such a commotion naturally alerted the Fu family.

The Fu family originally had more than a dozen bodyguards. After hearing the commotion, they rushed out quickly. Xu Yongchang, who was in charge, saw Zhao Rong and the others leaving and quickly asked, "Arong, where are you going?"

Xu Yongchang was quite famous in the Green Gang. When Yue Sheng was in power and he was at the height of his power, Zhao Rong would call him Brother Chang.

But how could Zhao Rong let the news of Lu Tianqiao's attack get out? Luo Zidong needed to take over before anyone else could react; time was more important than life itself.

Zhao Rong didn't say much, just cupped his hands in greeting and left quickly. Watching their departing figures, the crowd discussed among themselves. Xu Yongchang, however, had a sudden thought: it seemed that Station Chief Ning had already made his move!
