Li Yuanchao quickened his pace, carefully took out a handkerchief, and wiped the stone chair clean.
"Yuanyuan, please sit down..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Bang—!"
A muffled yet explosive gunshot shattered the tranquility of the park!
Li Yuanchao's smile froze instantly. He shuddered violently, as if his back had been struck hard by a red-hot iron hammer, and excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body.
He looked down in disbelief at the blood seeping from his chest, screamed, and fell straight forward.
Behind the reeds, Zhang Jianhao was about to pull the bolt and fire a second shot.
"stop!!!"
A piercing scream rang out.
Li Yuanyuan rushed over like a madwoman, threw herself on top of Li Yuanchao, and shielded him with her body.
At that very moment, the pager in her bag started vibrating wildly.
Li Yuanyuan didn't even look, she just held the man beneath her tightly and screamed with all her might towards the reeds.
"Run! Run!!!"
Zhang Jianhao was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what Li Zhiqing was up to.
"Go! Didn't you hear me!" Li Hongtie roared beside him, pulling him away into the depths of the reeds.
"Help! Murder!"
Li Yuanyuan's cries, filled with endless terror and despair, echoed throughout the entire Lanjiang Park.

He abruptly hung up the phone and slammed his foot hard on the mahogany desk, making a loud bang.
"Tell Yu Yuanyang to get his ass over here!!!"
Secretary Liu's roar was like that of a dying lion, shaking the entire corridor.
The secretary outside the door was terrified and scrambled to make a phone call.
Secretary Liu braced himself on the table, breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot and filled with alarming veins.
The sky has fallen.
Who is Li Yuanchao?
The general manager of the smelter! His mentor's beloved son!
If someone like that dies in Funing... forget about promotion, it's questionable whether he can even keep his position as secretary!
Secretary Liu felt a sudden dizziness and staggered out of the office.
"Secretary Liu, the car is ready!" the secretary greeted him in a trembling voice.
"Notify all department heads! Attend a meeting at the Municipal Party Committee immediately! I'm on my way to the hospital!"
"yes!"
As Secretary Liu's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, the doors of the offices on both sides of the corridor cautiously opened, and horrified faces peeked out, the air thick with the suffocating tension of an impending storm.
