The soldiers acted swiftly. At Tong Jianguo's command, all the hidden forces they knew about were instantly dismantled. Many people, hiding in the shadows, witnessed this scene, and it was deeply imprinted in their minds: in the face of overwhelming force, any resistance or opposition would be futile.
The country's ability to act is so swift and powerful that no one can stop it, no matter who it is.
"Black Tiger and his men were all taken away, and the Black Dragon Gang collapsed instantly."
"Secretary-General, what should we do now? The forces at our disposal are dwindling day by day, and the Secretary is deeply trapped and can't get out. Should we...should we withdraw? I'm afraid it won't be long before we have to go in as well."
"Yeah! I don't want to go in. I want to go to Hong Kong City."
"I'm going to Hong Kong tonight. I want to leave City S..."
Those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster couldn't believe that their future luck would be so good. They all planned to leave now, before the fire burned them. Run away.
"You...you...you guys want to be deserters?"
Deputy Chen looked at them with disbelief in his eyes. How dare they?
"It's not that we want to be deserters, but if we don't, there's no chance of survival."
"Yes! People die for money and birds die for food. We only do it for ourselves."
"Yes, yes, the secretary is gone now, and we should make plans for ourselves."
Retreat, get away. They suddenly made up their minds and decided to leave. They didn't want to waste time with these people, nor could they wait for the death knell. They should make plans for themselves. It was time to use all the money they had earned in this life and the plans they had prepared for their future.
“You…you guys…”
"Secretary-General, if we were in your shoes, we would also take action."
Don't think that when the Secretary is still in power, the Secretary and his men are all confined and unable to escape, and the chances of turning things around are definitely slim. Now it's better, there is a chance to escape. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, he will never be able to escape again.
"Humph, I'm different from you."
"Why is it different? We can leave first and come back after the storm has passed."
"Yeah! Let's wait until the storm has passed and then come back. We can then slowly plan how to rescue the secretary."
Suddenly, as if convincing themselves, everyone felt that their plan was a good one. Since they were keeping themselves away, they could still make a comeback when they had the chance.
"Do you really think it's okay?" Looking at this group of people coldly, Deputy Chen felt a chill in his heart.
"Yes! Isn't it good? We all think it's great. Secretary General, let's say goodbye now!"
"Yes, yes, we should go back and prepare things."
"We need to pack up quickly and leave as soon as possible."
With that, they all stopped paying attention to Deputy Chen's expression. In their view, informing Deputy Chen was sufficient. They had never imagined that Deputy Chen's thoughts were unpredictable; he had already devised another plan. The secretary's hidden plan, the only one he knew about, was also the final step.
"No one should even think about leaving. If anyone leaves, they will be buried with the Secretary, no matter who they are."
Deputy Chen watched the figures retreating from the crowd. He had no intention of letting these people off lightly, much less letting them go. After all, this was their own choice. The secretary had already arranged everything. If it didn't work out, then everyone would be buried with them. After all, they were already guilty, so they didn't care if their crimes were even greater.
At that moment, Deputy Chen turned around. He had to go somewhere. He had always carried the key the secretary had given him, carefully keeping it. He knew it was the secretary's last shield, his last escape route. The secretary had done him a favor, and he needed to repay the favor. It was that simple.
"Come on... let the storm come a little harder."
He looked up at the sky, the gloomy weather serving as a backdrop for him. Perhaps knowing what he would do, the heavens had already begun to foreshadow it. A cold, incomparable frown crossed Deputy Chen's face, tinged with a decadent desire for darkness.
"Maybe...it's time to get started."
The counterattack began at this moment. Deputy Chen walked forward quickly with his hope and desire.
…
"We can't leave. When did the dividing line get put up?"
“Why, why restrict our travel?”
"Who are you and what are you?"
The harbor and the moored ships were all blocked. No one dared to move the ships rashly, as the military had already come to warn them. If they were caught moving the ships, the cost and consequences would be beyond their imagination.
"The ship can't possibly start moving. Go back! These notes are invalid and have no effect at all."
"Yeah! It's completely useless. You can go back now."
"How could this happen? When was the bill invalidated? Look, this is the latest one."
"There's absolutely no difference between the newest and the oldest. Don't count on it. It's better to look somewhere else. There are so many other places anyway."
The people nearby couldn't help but offer them an idea: to look elsewhere. With all ships in the port area sealed off, it was impossible for any of them to slip through the net. The remaining transportation options seemed to be able to function for the time being, but it wasn't certain whether these people could board.
"But... the rest..."
The group looked at each other, each aware that they wouldn't dare board anything requiring identification, whether a train or a bus. Instead, if they could rent a car, slip past security, or... well, on second thought, it seemed unlikely. They had no such hopes right now, let alone good luck.
"Well... then, what should we do now?"
They couldn't just stand there in front of this roadblock and not do anything. The later they waited, the more variables there would be. They didn't dare to gamble, and they were afraid to take the possibility.
"Yeah! What should I do?"
Surrounded by their wives and children, what should they do? Otherwise, should they turn back? Try another route? If this route doesn't work, it would be best for them to move as quickly as possible.
"What can we do? Let's see if there is another way!"
"Yeah! We can only take another route."
Slow down, try another route and see if there's anything new to discover. They don't have time to keep trying. The military might already be searching for them, so there's no time to wait.
