Chapter 964: The Council House! Do Something Big!
The news that Huo Zhi was leaving office soon spread throughout Jijing Island.
The official website of Jijing News reported about Gu Mang and Huo Zhi entering and leaving the various major administrative departments under the Elders’ Association everyday.
The two seem to have begun the handing over of various affairs and some internal authority.
Lu Si sent the news link to Lu Chengzhou everyday.
But he had never received a single reply.
Gu Mang’s succession seemed to proceed in an orderly manner without any ripples.
Both Huo Zhi and the Head Elder felt that Gu Mang was too calm.
Even Old Master Gu wondered if Gu Mang would charge into the Gu residence and make things difficult for him.
In fact, he had already figured out how to make Gu Mang obey him.
Since he could announce the engagement banquet, naturally, he must have already been prepared for Gu Mang to cause a ruckus.
But Gu Mang did not.
She did not do anything at all.
Head Elder’s eyes sank. “Is Young Lady conceding now?”
Huo Zhi tapped on the documents with the signature pen in hand. “She’s very clever. I suppose that she knows if she does not do as we have planned, the takeover of Base 102 will keep getting postponed.”
The Head Elder nodded. “It’s good that she is aware of the reality.”
Huo Zhi put the pen down and looked at the bald man. “Arrange for three times the strength around the Council House tomorrow.”
“Got it.” The bald man responded respectfully.
The Head Elder looked at Huo Zhi and asked, “Are you afraid that something might go wrong tomorrow?”
“Just in case.” Huo Zhi pondered about the current circumstances. “Gu Mang had made a silent agreement at the engagement banquet. As such, the Bai family will not take any action and neither will Killer Alliance. So, there shouldn’t be any accidents.”
The Head Elder suddenly thought of Lu Chengzhou. “Are there any new happenings at Red Flame?”
“Nope.” Huo Zhi picked up the coffee. “Everything’s normal.”
In the past few days, the intelligence department reported that Lu Chengzhou had appeared in No. 14 Research Center at Ming City.
Head Elder pondered for a few seconds and then he looked up. “Since it is the engagement banquet of the Young Lady, I think her friends will have to come too.”
When Huo Zhi heard this, he frowned. “Don’t mess with Meng Jinyang. Be careful, don’t piss her off.”
Head Elder laughed. “Of course. I won’t mess with that girl for now.”
For now.
…
The next day.
It was the reappointment ceremony.
Just like what she told Lu Chengzhou, Gu Mang had not caused any problems at all during the past seven days.
Today, she woke up very early as well.
They all had breakfast in the cafeteria.
As if it was no different from any other day.
It was just that people like Gu Si, Jiang Sui, Yu Mufeng and the others would glance carefully at Gu Mang from time to time.
Not a single one of them took the reappointment ceremony seriously. They were afraid of the engagement banquet.
In the past seven days, this big boss had not mentioned a single word about the engagement banquet.
There was no action from Lu Chengzhou’s side either.
After taking a few bites of some cookies, Yu Mufeng had to break the silence. He looked at Gu Mang, “Little grandmaster, do you know what we are going to do today?”
Gu Mang looked up and gave a rather sly smile. “Something big.”
Yu Mufeng was speechless.
“Sister Mang, the people from Jijing Island aren’t honest. Do you think they’ll give you the military rights today?” Jiangsui took a sip of soy milk. “Should I get more people to come over?”
Gu Mang answered, “Nah, I don’t think it’ll be that troublesome.”
Jiangsui nodded. If Huo Zhi and Head Elder had brains, they should know not to play any tricks with Gu Mang now.
She had to get the military power first. It would only take minutes to change the management that Huo Zhi left behind.
After breakfast, they all left for the Council House.
Along the way there, they met several fleets of cars with the flags of the various family crests stuck on them.
All of them were heading in the direction of the Council House.
When Gu Mang arrived, she saw three rows of people inside and outside patrolling with guns.
Heavy-armored vehicles were parked on the road outside.
It was heavily guarded and solemn.
