After midnight

At three o'clock in the morning, Shangguan Can wrapped his coat tightly and came to the small corner where they had agreed to meet. There were already a dozen or more young people gathered there. Without saying a word, he distributed the big-character posters in his arms one by one. Five minutes later, the crowd dispersed.

No one knew what had just happened there, but in the next two hours, the whole city would be covered with large-character posters with contents that were shocking enough to shock people. Shangguan Can sneaked away in the darkness again.

This method was thought up by Zhao Yunqi, and he was only responsible for execution. He had never even thought about how Zhao Yunqi would communicate with Song Yu, so when he entered the B&B and saw Song Yu standing there, he was completely stunned.

"Is it done?"

"Yes."

"Go back and rest for a while."

Shangguan Can obediently walked up the stairs back to his room. When he reached the last step, he looked back and the person was gone.

The next morning, An Yan squeezed into the chaotic crowd at Beizhong. He accurately grabbed the arm of the man who claimed to have been stabbed. "Sir, what is your name?"

"Li." The man looked at him sideways.

"Mr. Li, I'm An Yan. I'll listen to you about anything. Why don't you let me treat your wound first?"

An Yan and the man surnamed Li became the focus of attention. The people who were originally making a lot of noise gathered around to watch. Zhou Chen took this opportunity to sneak into the hanging window station.

"No, no, no." Mr. Li yelled again, but he obviously sounded a little embarrassed.

"Really? Are you sure you don't need it?" An Yan calmly pulled his arm, preventing him from shaking it.

"I said no, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Like this." An Yan put down his arm, threw a piece of gauze to him casually, and walked through the crowd to Su Ziling. When An Yan turned around, Mr. Li quickly wrapped it up.

"Everyone, please listen to me. First of all, we are not stopping you from entering. We are just afraid that the crowd will be too crowded and you may accidentally hurt others. Besides, we are not carrying weapons such as knives and swords. If it is too crowded, you may be scratched by your own people." An Yan said and raised his hands, his hands were empty.

Su Ziling and Xu Xing also immediately raised their hands to prove their innocence. At this time, the crowd looked at each other in panic, but An Yan did not give them any extra time. He immediately said, "Please line up in a row. Yes, be orderly. After you line up, I can take you in for a tour."

Because of An Yan's words, they looked at each other again and were even more at a loss.

"You can arrange them in two or three pairs." An Yan shouted again.

Finally, they began to line up suspiciously, but the speed was very slow, and quite a few people stood there at a loss. Su Ziling saw that they no longer rushed forward, but he became more anxious. He looked at Xu Xing, but Xu Xing suddenly disappeared without knowing when.

Su Ziling went to see An Yan again, and An Yan was calm and composed. Just as the team was slowly forming, a group of people suddenly appeared from the back, all of them wearing green and white uniforms.

"It's the guards!"

"Guards? Why are they here?"

The crowd, which had just calmed down a little, immediately started to make noise again. The formation was immediately broken.

"We received a notice that some people were suspected of obstructing normal commercial construction by gathering to cause trouble, so we came here to investigate!"

A row of green and white clothes quickly surrounded the place, separating An Yan and Su Ziling behind them. It was obvious that they were not just here to check out the situation. Even the most ordinary people could understand what they meant. They looked panicked, and some people had already given up, hesitating with messy steps.

"If you don't explain the reason, everyone will be taken back to the police station!"

Most of the people surrounded by the guards were paid hires, and when they heard the noise, they finally became frightened, their faces changed drastically, and they scattered.

When Li Sheng and his men arrived, most of the people had already dispersed. Even if he found a few more people, it would be difficult to gather them together again. He took one look and angrily went straight to the familiar face in the green and white uniform.

"Lin Changxing."

"Hey, Mr. Li? Why are you here? Isn't this a small matter that falls within the scope of the Security Bureau's responsibilities?"

"The Lu family is building hanging windows for the revolutionary army in Xindu. We have the right to protect the safety of Beizhong!" Li Sheng said confidently.

"Hanging window? What is that? Look carefully, this project approval form clearly states that Lu's is building a hotel. It also has the signature of our Beizhong mayor. Could it be that our mayor is deliberately covering up for them or colluding with the revolutionary army? Anyone who spreads rumors again will be detained for three days and fined 5,900 coins!"

"Lin Changxing, you don't have to be so proud." Li Sheng looked annoyed.

"Oh, I forgot that the Lin family and the Lu family are birds of a feather."

"You're right, so what can you do?"

Mr. Li watched Lin Changxing walk away angrily. As he strode away, he winked at him, and Mr. Li, who claimed to have been stabbed, actually understood what he meant and followed him back.

Three minutes passed, and when most of the people had left, Lin Changxing turned around and approached An Yan and Su Ziling. "Nice to meet you, I'm Lin Changxing, you two, I've heard a lot about you."

"An Yan."

"Su Zi Ling."

An Yan and Su Ziling shook hands with him respectively. Zhou Chen and Xu Xing also came out of the window station. Lin Changxing greeted them one by one and then left. An Yan watched Lin Changxing lead the team back, thinking that he would need this person's care in the future in Beizhong.

"Lin Changxing is a leader among the Lin family's branch in Beizhong. At a young age, he has risen to the position of deputy director of the Beizhong Security Bureau. I heard that the director is an old man who will retire next year or the year after at the latest. By then, there will be no one else to take the position of director," Zhou Chen explained.

"I wrote a letter to Ah Ming. Lu Li and Lin Nuan are in Beicheng. It should be Lin Nuan who passed the message. I didn't expect Lin Changxing to come so quickly!"

"Luckily they arrived quickly. How come such a large group of people suddenly came to cause trouble?" Su Ziling was very puzzled.

"The incident happened in North City first. It seems that the other party has a careful plan." Xu Xing continued.

"Yes, the wound on Mr. Li's arm was deliberately stabbed by someone. In fact, it was himself." An Yan said, he observed the wound up close.

"Yes, it's very obvious. It's obvious that Mr. Li is in cahoots with Mr. Li." Su Ziling agreed.

"But who is it? I received information that those in North City are Zhao Yunqi, Shangguan Can and Zhang Dong. Apart from these people, who else can Song Yu use? Someone from West Capital?" Zhou Chen had a particularly big question about the last one.

"We can only go and check." An Yan said.

"I don't know what will happen next. What should I do with the hanging window? I just hid it." Xu Xing asked.

"It depends on your needs. The purpose is to build the website as quickly as possible. If daily testing is still required, put it back. We are here to handle these matters." Zhou Chen comforted him and Xu Xing nodded.

"Xu Xing, can the hanging window be used now? I mean, can we go to the North City or the North Gate?" An Yan suddenly asked this question.

"You know the situation of Beizhong. If you just want to go there, that's fine. But the reason why Beizhong and Beicheng must be completed at the same time is because the data needs to be connected. In order to achieve two-way operation, the data must be connected. So it can be used, but not on a large scale."

"What if there are only a few people?"

"Yes, I can guarantee that after the hanging window is activated, it will not be affected by other similar abilities. So, you can go to Beiguan or Beicheng without any obstacles, but I can't guarantee that you can come back."

"Let me put it another way. If I go out through the hanging window without using anything else, and only add the ability to move to the hanging window, can I move the hanging window back?"

"Yes, you can find a specialist for removal. But to save time, I don't recommend you move the hanging window back."

An Yan nodded thoughtfully. Su Ziling saw that An Yan asked so many detailed questions, and couldn't help but wonder what An Yan was thinking about.

"Then I'll go back first. I need to ask A-Ming about the progress."

"Okay, I'll go ask Lin Xuanfeng what happened in North City."

"Zhou Chen, if you have any questions, please tell me. I am responsible for investigating Beizhong. Also, can you help me get some information about Beizhong's business and political landscape in the past three years?" An Yan said to Zhou Chen with a calm look in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll try to be as detailed as possible."

After the three of them finished speaking, they looked at Su Ziling at the same time. Su Ziling thought he couldn't help much, so he said, "Then I'll continue to stay here. If there is any problem, I will notify you as soon as possible."

After the few people dispersed, it was noon in the blink of an eye. When Zhou Chen went downstairs, he happened to run into An Yan who was about to go out.

"Are you going out? I was just about to look for you." Zhou Chen took out the reply letter from Lin Xuanfeng from his dark jeans.

"Yes, I'm on my way to the cafeteria to eat. Do you want to join me? I'll watch on the way."

"Okay, I'll go with you. By the way, why don't you see the kid from He?"

"He was called back to Xindu by his family two days ago and will be back in a few days."

"Oh, I see." Zhou Chen handed the letter to An Yan, and they didn't say anything else, and walked forward in silence. He, including today, had been away for exactly three days. Today, something happened suddenly, and everyone got together again. Zhou Chen found it normal now.

"How is it?" An Yan handed the letter to Zhou Chen after reading it, and Zhou Chen asked.

"It seems that the incident started in North City, but this is strange. Why did it happen in North Middle School?"

"Yeah, if we're talking about inciting the emotions of ordinary people, shouldn't we continue in North City?"

An Yan shook his head and didn't answer. Zhou Chen was also puzzled. Sometimes, you can't analyze anything unless the situation develops further. At this time, the cafeteria is right in front of you.

When the two entered, Su Ziling had just exchanged shifts with Xu Xing. He had finished his meal and sat alone at a table. An Yan saw him and naturally sat opposite Su Ziling. Zhou Chen looked back and forth at the empty seats and finally chose to sit next to An Yan.

"What's the situation in North City?" Su Ziling asked.

After Zhou Chen and An Yan looked at each other, Zhou Chen took the lead in narrating and An Yan supplemented. From the two people's intermittent descriptions, Su Ziling finally understood what happened in Beicheng on that crucial second night after the first day of posting posters.

Originally, Lin Xuanfeng and his team only decided to build a fence first, but no one expected Zhao Yunqi to be so crazy this time, and they seemed to be completely reckless. That night when Lin Nuan was dispatching, Lin Xuanfeng was placing, and Lu Li was lurking near the message wall, big-character posters appeared like ghosts in every street and alley and even in the homes of the people. They were almost completely passive and could not stop the news from spreading to the ears of every resident in North City.

As soon as the sun rose, North City Xuanchuang Station and Lu Li became the focus of everyone's attention and the target of public criticism.

"So it's very strange. We haven't heard anything about it, so how come someone would take advantage of the North City incident to cause trouble in North Central?" Su Ziling said.

"There must be someone behind the scenes who was able to choose this timing. It's definitely not Zhao Yunqi, but probably Song Yu. But we haven't figured out his tricks yet. The most important thing is how they will deal with Beizhong." Zhou Chen said.

"An Yan, what are you worried about? Why did you ask Xu Xing those questions?" After An Yan asked, Su Ziling wanted to ask, he had been holding it in for the whole morning. Zhou Chen heard this and looked at An Yan.

"I'm not sure yet."

No one could pry out what An Yan didn't want to say, and Su Ziling understood this very well. So he sighed and buried his head to eat. After dinner, Su Ziling and Xu Xing exchanged, and An Yan and Zhou Chen returned along that road.

"I'll notify you when the information from Beizhong arrives." The two walked side by side, and when they separated after passing a group of houses, Zhou Chen said to An Yan.

"it is good."

An Yan stood there, watching Zhou Chen's back walk a distance forward, and then sat on a half-meter-high cement platform beside the road. He sat quietly and yawned. He was on duty last night, and something happened in the morning before he had time to sleep for a while. Since then, including now, he can't sleep no matter what.

But it was noon and he was feeling sleepy after having eaten a lot, so An Yan yawned again while sitting there. As he yawned, he thought, should he write a letter to Yin to ask for the information about Beizhong?

He took out the letter from his coat pocket, thought about it, and put it back. He held the letter in his pocket, looked around, found a direction, and walked over.

However, half an hour later, when An Yan was still walking on the road and before he could do anything, he received a letter from Lin Xuanfeng. In the letter, ordinary people in Beizhong asked whether the Lu family also built hanging windows in Beizhong, and whether the people in Beizhong who went to inquire about this matter were injured.

But in fact, they were not just asking questions. They, the common people of North City, cleverly intercepted the porter who was transporting goods to the Hanging Window Station. The goods were thrown aside, and the porter was violently tied up. Now the North Main Street in front of the Laixi Inn was in chaos.

An Yan put away the letter. This was exactly what he expected. The other party knew how to use the time difference and the fear of the unknown. The other party also knew that the fate of Beizhong and Beicheng were closely related, so the chaos in Beizhong this morning was a powerful tip for Beicheng.

But because of this, An Yan became even more certain that what Beizhong was about to experience would only be even more terrifying.

He stood on the street. The midday sun was still a little hot, and An Yan suddenly didn't know where to go.

Beizheng Street in front of Laixi Inn is crowded at this moment.

Lu Li protected Lin Nuan but still couldn't prevent her from being squeezed. Lin Xuanfeng pushed the crowd away and moved closer to the big box, because the person tied to the big box was the special mover they hired to transport the goods. At this moment, Lin Xuanfeng was just glad that he let Jiu stay in the inn and sent a letter to An Yan before going in.

As more and more people gathered, they could not use force, so how could they negotiate? They had to negotiate, not suppress, and they must not rely on official power at this time. Lin Xuanfeng was determined to move forward, and he had to occupy the center, where the contradictions were most concentrated, so that he could have the right to speak.

He didn't notice that the disobedient little tail was following him at this time. Ah Jiu was young and not that tall. He stood at the edge of the crowd with his head tilted and anxious. He looked around and found a commanding height in front of a store on the street. He had an idea and walked there. Although there were people standing there, there was always room for another child to squeeze in.

Jiu stood on a high place and looked over the dark heads in front of him. He saw at a glance that Lin Xuanfeng had squeezed into the center of the emergency. He was closer to the two people who were tied up and the crowd who were denouncing him than Lu Li and Lin Nuan.

Ah Jiu stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck, watching Lin Xuanfeng closely. There were too many people, and if he wasn't careful, his master would get hurt. It was at this moment that Ah Jiu suddenly spotted a strange person.

The man was standing on a high place like him, in the outermost safe zone, observing everything. He was dressed in black, black pants and a black jacket, and he was not joining in the fun, nor was he watching the show. His expression was very dangerous.

Suddenly he looked at Ah Jiu, who instantly shrank back and hid, breathing rapidly. After a while, but not that long, Ah Jiu took a deep breath and looked at him again. The man was still looking at him.

The man looked at him straight, as if he knew who he was. This time, Jiu did not evade. He saw the man greet him with his chin, then raised his head in a certain direction, and slowly turned around and walked away.

Ajiu pushed through the crowd and chased after him.
