Chapter 38, Attack Warning
The cult storm caused by Councilman Wohan shook the entire Renaissance City.
From the refugees and Denison Henry, Gu Hang had learned that the Fuxing City authorities were in chaos.
He was very satisfied with the situation.
Taking advantage of this incident to change the political situation in Fuxing City is to pave the way for later intervention in the political situation in Fuxing City.
Therefore, even though he knew that the Alliance Parliament was in a mess, Gu Hang had no intention of giving up.
Instead, he added more fuel to the fire.
He connected with Hodgson.
"Hodgson, why have you never contacted me during this period? Where is the explanation I want?"
Hodgson's voice was full of fatigue. "Your Excellency the Governor, we have taken a series of actions and have achieved some initial results. I was planning to report to you after I had more information. But since you need an answer now, I can report to you our current achievements..."
"I'm listening."
Hodgson began his presentation.
Obviously, he was prepared for Gu Hang to come to him for inquiries in advance. His words were very fluent, and he described one by one what the Union Government had done during this period of time in Fuxing City.
Gu Hang listened patiently until Hodgson finished speaking.
Hodgson was a little surprised. He was prepared to be interrupted at any time during his narration, but the Governor did not do so.
However, he did not feel lucky.
This may mean that the Governor has greater anger in his heart.
Amid his growing anxiety, Gu Hang's voice slowly rang out: "Oh, that's all? It's really an amazing achievement."
"We arrested several suspects involved in the cult and seized some information about the cult... but then what? Nothing. We didn't find out the extent of the cult's infiltration in Renaissance City, nor did we know what these hateful heretics had planned. Even I, who has only been on Wrathful Star for less than two months, know a little about the cult's information. The few small fry we caught didn't tell us anything useful, and I'm not even sure if they were scapegoats pushed out by some people."
"Don't you think that the Union Government should make more efforts for the safety of Renaissance City?"
Sure enough, what is supposed to come will come.
Facing the Governor's questioning, Hodgson spoke slowly: "You are right. The Union Government does need to make more efforts. Our next investigation will be further intensified. However, as for the results, we do have an unconfirmed intelligence."
"oh?"
"We have reason to believe that you might be attacked by the cult members. They seem to know that Wohan was dealt with by you, and they may even know that the current crackdown on them in Renaissance City was ordered by you personally. They may launch a revenge operation against you."
Gu Hang's expression had completely turned cold. "Unconfirmed intelligence mentioned that they were going to attack me... How is this intelligence unconfirmed?"
"We intercepted a communication that mentioned the location of your camp and the approximate number of armed forces you may have. Although the intelligence did not say what to do, our intelligence officer believes that your current situation is somewhat dangerous. I strongly recommend that you return to Renaissance City as soon as possible. The Alliance's army will serve you to the death."
After he finished speaking, Gu Hang fell silent.
This is really a show of force.
Gu Hang thought a lot in an instant.
He finally spoke slowly: "Speaker Hodgson, you really gave me a big surprise."
Hodgson sighed.
Gu Hang's tone let him know that his previous worries were right.
This matter cannot be talked about casually, as it can easily be misunderstood, but he has no way to explain it.
He said, "I still have the same suggestion, Your Excellency the Governor. Please return to Fuxing City as soon as possible. Only here can you ensure safety."
"I will pay attention to the safety issues. As for the cult... I hope that next time I communicate with you, I can gain more from you."
He didn't even bother to respond to Hodgson's suggestion that he return to Fuxing City.
…
After hanging up the phone, Gu Hang looked unhappy.
A warning of an attack against him…
There are so many profound meanings behind this matter.
Is it true or false?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gu Hang could no longer force the old parliament speaker.
Speaking of results, they have achieved one. Isn’t the safety of the Governor a big deal?
After learning this information, Gu Hang was caught in a dilemma.
How will he deal with this security threat?
Focusing on his own safety, and being cautious in everything? That would obviously distract him, and he might not have as much energy to cause trouble to Fuxing City later, and even the fast track of development that his own power had just embarked on would be affected.
But we can't just ignore it, what if it's true?
But if we want to control it, how can we do it?
The method of the attack is completely unknown. Was it an assassin hidden among the refugees? A bomb? A raid by a small team? An army?
Even if nothing happened, Gu Hang would not go looking for trouble with Hodgson.
After all, according to the old man, this information was unconfirmed, and he didn't want to say that it was forced out by Gu Hang when he was interrogating the results. By then, even if nothing happened, it would not have much to do with the Alliance Government.
It wouldn't be wrong to ask the Governor to be careful about his own safety, right?
Hodgson's warning cast a shadow on Gu Hang's heart.
He could even think about this problem in a darker direction: Is this Hodgson or the Alliance Parliament warning him not to abuse the Governor's power too much? You have the ability to break up and perish together, and we have it too?
Even if this information is false, the Fuxing City authorities have the means to make it true.
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Hang's face became even uglier.
However, today's bad news comes one after another.
After finishing the conversation with Hodgson, he thought for a while, and his follower Zhang Chao ran in, looking a little panicked.
"Governor, we received a distress signal from Captain Yan Fangxu! They were besieged by a large number of monsters in the alien forest!"
Gu Hang didn't reply immediately.
After a while, Zhang Chao's throat moved and he spoke again with some difficulty: "Governor?"
It was not until this time that Gu Hang let out a long sigh.
"I understand. Gather our troops and prepare to rescue Yan Fangxu."
"yes!"
Watching Zhang Chao hurried away again, Gu Hang sighed again.
"This warning was delivered just in time."
