Chapter 38, Attack Warning
The cult turmoil triggered by Councilor Wohan shook the entire Fuxing City.
From the mouths of the refugees and Denison Henry, Gu Hang had learned that the Fuxing City authorities were in a state of panic.
He was happy with the situation.
Taking advantage of this incident to change the political situation of Fuxing City was to pave the way for future involvement in the political situation of Fuxing City.
Therefore, even though he knew that the Alliance Council was in dire straits, Gu Hang had no intention of stopping.
Instead, he wanted to add more fuel to the fire.
He contacted Hodgson.
"Hodgson, why have you never contacted me during this time? Where is the explanation I want?"
Hodgson's voice was full of fatigue: "Your Excellency Governor, we have taken a series of actions and achieved some preliminary results. I originally planned to report to you after I have more information. But since you need it now An answer, I can report to you our current results..."
"I'm listening."
Hodgson began his report.
Obviously, he was prepared that Gu Hang might come to him for questioning in advance. His words were fluent, and he listed one by one what the alliance government had done during this period 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 the 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 sounded: "Oh, that's all? What an amazing achievement."
"We arrested several suspects involved in cults and seized some cult information...but then what? Nothing. We don't know what the current situation of Fuxing City being infiltrated by cults is, nor do we know about these hateful people. What is the plan of the heresy? Even I, a person who has only been here for less than two months, know a thing or two about the cult information. The few little shrimps I caught didn’t reveal any useful information, and I couldn’t even tell them. Determine whether these are scapegoats pushed out by some people.”
“Don’t you think the alliance government should make more efforts to protect the safety of Fuxing City?”
Sure enough, it should come but it will come anyway.
Facing the Governor's question, Hodgson slowly spoke: "You are right, the coalition government does need to make more efforts. Our next investigation operation will be further intensified. However, in terms of results, , we do still have an unproven piece of intelligence.”
"Oh?"
"We have reason to believe that you may be attacked by cultists. They seem to know that Wohan was solved by you, and they may even know that the current attack on them in Fuxing City was ordered by you personally. They may initiate retaliation against you."
Gu Hang's expression had completely cooled down, "Unconfirmed intelligence mentioned that they were going to attack me... How is this intelligence unverified?"
"A communication we intercepted 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 Fuxing City as soon as possible. The Alliance's troops 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 that moment.
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 correct.
This matter should not be talked about casually, it could easily be misunderstood, but he had no way of explaining it. He said: "My suggestion is still the same, Your Majesty the Governor, please return to Fuxing City as soon as possible so that safety can be ensured here."
"I will pay attention to safety issues. As for the cult... I hope that the next time I communicate with you, you will gain more."
Regarding Hodgson's suggestion to return to Fuxing City, he didn't even bother to respond with half a word.
……
After hanging up the call, Gu Hang didn't look good.
A warning of an attack against him...
There are too many deep meanings behind this matter.
Is it true or false?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gu Hang couldn't force the old council leader anymore.
Speaking of results, they have achieved a result. Isn't the governor's safety a big deal?
After learning this information, Gu Hang fell into a dilemma.
How should he deal with this security threat?
Focus on your own safety and then be cautious about everything? That would obviously distract him, and he might not have as much energy to cause trouble for Fuxing City later on, and even the fast lane of development that his own force had just embarked on would be affected by this.
But we can’t ignore it, what if this thing turns out to be true?
But if you want to take care of it, how can you take care of it?
The method of the attack is completely unknown. Is it an assassin lurking among the refugees? A bomb? A raid by a small team? An army?
Even if nothing happened, Gu Hang wouldn't be able to trouble Hodgson.
After all, according to the old guy, this information was unconfirmed, and he didn't want to say that it was Gu Hang who forced him to ask for the results. Even if nothing happens by then, it will have little to do with the alliance government.
It wouldn't be a mistake to ask the Governor to be careful about his own safety, right?
Hodgson's warning cast a shadow over Gu Hang's heart.
He could even think about this issue in a darker direction: Is this Hodgson or the Alliance Council warning him not to take the governor's power too far? If you have the ability to break up and perish together, do we also have the ability?
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 turned even uglier.
However, today’s bad news comes one after another.
After finishing the conversation with Hodgson, he thought for a short while when his follower Zhang Chao ran in, looking a little flustered.
"Mr. Governor, we received a distress call from Captain Yan Fangxu! They were besieged by a large number of monsters in the alien forest!"
Gu Hang did not reply immediately.
After a while, Zhang Chao's throat twitched and he spoke again with some difficulty: "Governor?"
It was only then that Gu Hang let out a long sigh.
"I understand, gather our troops and prepare to rescue Yan Fangxu."
"Yes!"
Seeing Zhang Chao hurried away again, Gu Hang sighed again.
"This warning was fulfilled in a timely manner."
