Zhang Lin originally planned to go find the city lord first. Even though he saw the two groups of people facing off, after thinking about it for a moment, he still decided to go and find out about the city lord's situation first.
But upon discovering that An Qingge was also there, he immediately changed his mind.
The situation is very serious, otherwise An Qingge would not have appeared here in person.
Although she has stepped down from her position as captain, she is Zhang Lin's woman, and when Zhang Lin is not around, she can represent him.
With her arrival, Tang Lian, Niu Lei, and Jin Kai all had to step aside and give up their leadership positions.
Of course, An Qingge's position was not only due to her being Zhang Lin's woman, but also because she had always taken over Zhang Lin's responsibilities, which earned her everyone's respect.
In fact, An Qingge also sensed that something was wrong; otherwise, given how much she cared about her baby, she wouldn't have dragged her big belly out to run around.
There are twelve captains in Hope City. Some of them have already joined the vanguard army, while others have gone with Chen Zibo to support Zhang Lin.
Hopefully, there are only three captains left in the city, with a little over a thousand men under their command.
Hope City certainly has other forces; the number of residents alone is enormous.
The problem is that the city lord has never liked to develop his power.
The residents of Hope City are just residents; they are not anyone's direct subordinates.
When the city lord was alive, he could command these people with just a word.
But the problem now is that the city lord is not here.
No one can order these people around.
Those external forces, when united, could directly command at least five thousand people.
The disparity in strength is too great.
But precisely because of the vast disparity in strength, An Qingge preferred to fight directly rather than send out the remaining three captains.
If the remaining three captains and personnel are all sent out, Hope City will be truly empty. With Li Tianfang never leaving his home, these forces combined will be enough to control Hope City.
At that time, would these forces take control of the families of the vanguard soldiers in order to make them fight to the death?
That's absolutely possible.
As the family members of the vanguard leader, An Qingge and others were the first to be affected.
An Qingge certainly couldn't stand by and watch this happen.
After several forces pressured the remaining forces of Hope City to go to the front line to provide support, and An Qingge refused each time, Fu Haifeng and his group could no longer hold back and directly confronted An Qingge and her group.
They wanted to force the remaining forces of Hope City to go out and fight, then take control of Hope City and the families of all the vanguard members.
In this way, they can rest easy in the rear.
If there is hope of defeating the beast tide, then the vanguard should weaken the beast tide's strength to a considerable extent before they finish it off with minimal losses.
If the vanguard is defeated quickly...
They also preserved their strength, so they would have the option to defend the city to the death or flee to other places.
They have certainly gained the upper hand.
"Miss An, as Boss Zhang's woman, you have repeatedly refused to go and support him. I seriously doubt your intentions!"
Fu Haifeng stood at the front, his small eyes narrowed as he looked at An Qingge not far away, and said coldly, "Perhaps I should help Boss Zhang clean up his own mess!"
It has to be said that this old guy is quite skilled at speaking; with just one sentence, he dumped a huge accusation on An Qingge's head.
If you didn't know the situation, you'd really think An Qingge was a character like Pan Jinlian.
An Qingge's face was gloomy, and she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Fan Haifeng. She was under a lot of pressure. She was pregnant and prone to anxiety, and now she had encountered this kind of thing...
Yang Wenting, who was younger and had a fiery temper, couldn't hold back and started cursing, "You old bastard, don't twist the truth! Sister An isn't like what you're saying!"
But because of her young age, her words have no offensive power.
Fu Haifeng sneered and said, "If you want to prove me wrong, it's very simple. You can go and support Boss Zhang right now. Of course, considering that Miss An is pregnant, she can stay in Hope City. I will definitely take good care of her for Boss Zhang."
Others may leave, but Zhang Lin is determined to keep his woman under his control.
Zhang Lin's strength is terrifying.
He wouldn't dare force Zhang Lin to fight unless he had some leverage over Zhang Lin.
"you!"
Yang Wenting fell into Fu Haifeng's logical trap and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
An Qingge reached out to stop her, then looked at Fu Haifeng and said in an icy tone, "Stop talking nonsense. We know what you're thinking. My husband needs support, but it should be you who go. If you insist on forcing us to go... fine, let's fight before the beast tide arrives. Unless you kill me, don't even think about your schemes succeeding!"
After saying that, she gave a disdainful snort and said, "But you should think carefully about the consequences of killing me."
An Qingge is now backed into a corner. If possible, she would certainly be willing to go and support Zhang Lin. If she could leave the city now, she would immediately take her sister and the women in her family and follow Da Bu to seek refuge with Zhang Lin.
But she knew that Fu Haifeng and the others would not let her leave the city.
Using such disgusting tactics once has already offended Zhang Lin to the core, let alone now that there's a second time. How could he possibly dare to play the only card he has left?
“Miss An, you’re really stubborn!” Fu Haifeng sighed, looking utterly helpless. “Since that’s the case, I have no choice but to resort to some forceful measures!”
Just as An Qingge only had one path in front of her, so too did he.
The first time was just a test; there's still room for explanation later. Perhaps by paying some price, we can gain Zhang Lin and the city lord's forgiveness.
But he still resorted to tricks the second time...
This means it's a fight to the death.
Unfortunately, the prospects were too tempting for him to resist, and then the city lord went missing...
all in all.
Regardless of the reason for getting to this point, he has no way out. He must control An Qingge and the others, otherwise, when Zhang Lin returns...
Even if only Zhang Lin comes back alive.
He couldn't guarantee that his head would continue to grow safely on his head.
"Brothers, let's do it!"
Fu Haifeng waved his hand, ordering his men to act, but he didn't forget to add, "Zhang Lin's women cannot be killed, not a single one of them! Kill them all alive!"
Meanwhile, seeing that the situation was beyond repair, An Qingge made a decision: "Brothers, prepare for battle! Remember one thing: if you are at a disadvantage, kill me first!"
She was determined that even if she died, she would not give anyone leverage to threaten Zhang Lin.
