Plotting Against Lin Hongzhi

"Lin Hongzhi, please support and vote for Lin Hongzhi at the election…"

Such content was broadcasted from time to time in the area where ordinary survivors gathered. In fact, except for Lin Hongzhi, other candidates had also racked their minds for winning the election. When Yun Che and his team drove by the area, they even saw someone playing open-air movies and a few soup kitchens were provided as well. For the record, few people cared about these ordinary survivors that much before.

"It's Lin Hongzhi indeed."

When their van arrived at the area of the prefabricated house, the crowds in front blocked their way. Looking through them, they saw dozens of staff donating porridge and giving out supplies. The radio repeatedly played the slogan "Please support Lin Hongzhi." Also, Lin Hongzhi himself hung a red ribbon on his body, standing among the staff while delivered the hot gruel for the crowds "nicely". Every time a survivor accepted the gruel, he would remind them of voting for him. Not only supplies but the publicities were much better than his competitors.

"I assume he would win the election if we are not against him."

Watching the outside, Meng Gang said sincerely. They had seen a lot on their way here and could tell that Lin Hongzhi attracted most people here.

"Not necessarily. Most who are first pay the price. He seems to suppress other families on this right now, but the latter ones won't just comply. If any of them was too much better than others, I'm afraid all he got would be the joint attack of his opponents."

The Xing family had two armies in their hands, not to mention they had bounded with the Mo family as well, yet they still kept humble. Lin Hongzhi and Liu Xizhao had got real guts to do this. It was unlikely that they didn't realize the consequences. So, the only reasonable explanation would be they were out of choice because that was the only way for them to stand out.

"Let's go. It's time that we say hello to our old friend."

Chenchen had wrapped himself like a hamburger, while Yun Che simply wore a normal slim down jacket and jeans. Holding Chenchen with him, Yun Che walked toward the car door with Xing Feng. The rest looked at each other and then stood up one after another. After getting off the van, they put it back into space and then swaggered towards the crowd.

Although their clothes were not the best, they were more energetic than others. Therefore, before they reached the crowds, the latter ones had already made way for them. It had been a year since Doomsday. Most survivors had learned when to compromise, their dignities as well. Without superfunction, they couldn't even fill their stomachs, needless to say, their faces. From their skinny and sallow faces, Yun Che and his team could only see humbleness, death, and desperation.

Since the way was shown, they walked in directly. The staff in the front had also realized that something was happening, so they asked around.

A bowl dropped.

"You! You!"

When Yun Che and his team showed up in front of Lin Hongzhi, the latter couldn't help dropping the bowl in his hand, full of shock and fear. He was not stupid, so he knew what was behind the tragedies of the Zhou family and the Liu family. And that was exactly the reason why he couldn't sit tight but try his best to grasp enough power to go against them as soon as possible. However, to his surprise, they had come so soon that he was unprepared at all.

"General Lin, oh, my bad, you are not a general anymore. I heard the headquarter of the Southwest Base had discharged you from the army dishonorably. However, I may still call you General Lin in case others may blame me for my manners. So, we haven't seen each other for months, but you still look the same, better even."

Standing in front of him, Yun Che put on a big smile as if they were old friends indeed.

"What, what do you want?"

It was until then that Lin Hongzhi realized that his teeth were quivering. He then gritted his teeth and refuted, "Yun Che, I'm warning you, it's the Capital Base, not the Southwest. Don't you dare mess with me."

Hadn't he had foreseen this when he decided to work with Liu Xizhao? Lin Hongzhi forced himself to calm down and not to think of how Yun Che had dealt with his opponents before. After all, they were in public right now. He betted that Yun Che didn't dare to kill him at the spot.

"Oh, mess with you? How? You, on the contrary, sent your man to assassinate my brother under Liu Xizhao's instruction. My brother almost died because of you. So, tell me, who is messing around, huh? Is it you, or me?"

Yun Che didn't lower his voice. In fact, he was hoping that the moles of other families would have heard what he had just said. The dirty tricks of Liu Xizhao deserved to be known by all.

"I don' know what you're talking about."

Lin Hongzhi clenched his hands into fists behind his back. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure this and not to admit his relationship with Liu Xizhao under such an occasion, needless to say, the fact that his man had gone after Yun Cheng before. Otherwise, he might be killed by the great families before the election even started.

"Haha, that's cool. You'll know anyway."

After speaking, Yun Che held Chenchen's hand and left with Xing Feng directly. Before Yun Cheng left, he suddenly stopped and had a creepy smile on his face, "General Lin, do you really think that we will help cultivate harvests after you become the president? Just for you to know, you are much worse than Liu Xizhao. Also, there is a blood feud between us."

Yun Cheng didn't lower his voice as well and made sure the rest had heard him. Even though the survivors had tortured by the world for a long time, they were not stupid. Soon, they started to gossip, and some even stepped further. It was tempting to have temporary gruel to fill their stomachs, but it meant nothing if someone could produce harvests and solve their predicament of not having enough food and clothes.

"You wanna regret?"

Lin Hongzhi's expression changed drastically. He clenched his fists and even took two steps forward unconsciously. Yun Cheng thought it funny, "Regret? My brother had never promised that he would help the Capital Base cultivate harvests if Liu Xizhao steps down. He said that he wouldn't help his enemies. General Lin, should I remind you of how you sent your men to assassinate us and shot me in my head when I was in the middle of promotion? You almost killed me, and that makes you our enemy. Regret? How so? Are you so naïve to believe that changing a president would make it even?"

Even the rest of the team had not realized that. Yun Cheng was exceptional to think of it. Indeed, what Yun Che had said was that he would not help his enemies instead of helping them out if Liu Xizhao stepped down. Yun Che was a bit distant from Yun Cheng right now, but he couldn't help laughing out when he heard this. The outsiders had long interpreted his words this way, and even Yun Che himself was misled and believed he said so. From what had happened now, he had to admit that Yun Cheng was wiser than him. After all, the reason why Liu Xizhao had been defeated so soon was because of Yun Cheng's analysis as well.

"You!"

Lin Hongzhi wide-opened his eyes out of astonishment. Was it true that Yun Che said so? If so, even if he could make it to become the president, Yun Che and his team would not be disgusted. Also, he wouldn't get the secret of cultivation.

Lin Hongzhi was in a daze right now. They had firmly believed that the plan was perfect, but now, would Yun Che reverse the situation through the misled words?

"Good luck, man, and be the president!"

Before leaving, Yun Cheng didn't forget gesturing him to cheer up. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zeyu and the rest did the same, insulting him for his ignorance directly.

"Everyone, suit yourselves taking supplies and materials from them. They got a lot, free gruels and down jackets. Hurry and take as many as you can. Who knows? They may stop doing this for you tomorrow."

Before walking out of the crowd, Chu Haoling suddenly took out a loudspeaker from the space and made sure that his sound spread all over the street in an instant. Some were still hesitating that they shouldn't take things from Lin Hongzhi anymore. But upon hearing this, they rushed to scramble the materials. They were free anyway. Besides, even if they took these, they didn't have to vote for him necessarily.

"Oh, Chu, you are so bad."

When the crowd was desperate to fight over the supplies, Yun Che and his friends lined up, enjoying the scene. Lin Hongzhi and his men couldn't even resist the survivors. Some had already rushed in and fight for the down jackets.

"Oh, come on. Why are you guys still pretending? It's not the first day we met, alright? Don't tell me you've never had such thoughts. I'm just a quicker performer."

As Chu Haoling said, he took out an apple and ate it, enjoying the scene with a smile. His partners peeked at each other and laughed awkwardly. It seemed like they did think so. After all, they were here to plot against Lin Hongzhi in the first place.

At this time, Xing Feng's phone rang.

He answered, "Hello?"

"Xing, we got company at home. They are here for you. Mingxuan has told the leader that you were out, but he insisted on waiting here for you. So, when are you guys coming back?"

It was Yun Yao. Xing Feng asked casually, "Who is he? You got a name?"

A lot of people wanted to meet them recently. All the representatives of the big bases came for their secret of cultivating. The Ye family and the Shu family had also urged Ye Xingchen to make a connection with them. Other families had done the same. Therefore, it was quite normal that people wanted to see them.

"He said his name is Gao Wei. Mingxuan knows him, too."

"Gao Wei?"

Xing Feng frowned when he heard the name. Ever since their last meeting, Gao Wei had never intended to contact them. What was his purpose this time? If he said that they had a catch-up to do, it would be bullshit. Xing Feng wouldn't believe it no matter what.

At the same time, Yun Che and other team members had also heard the name and looked at Xing Feng. Xing Feng beckoned them to wait and then told Yun Yao, "We'll be right back."

"Gao Wei is at our house?"

Yun Che asked as soon as Xing Feng hung up. He performed an air cover so that others wouldn't hear their conversation.

"Yeah, Mingxuan is with him right now. As for his purpose, guess we'll know when we go back."

Xing Feng hung up and put the phone back into his pocket.

"Then we'll see what he is up to. Let's go."

Yun Che firmly believed that Gao Wei didn't make the house call to see how they were doing.

"Okay, let's go."

Taking the van out of the space, they got on continuously. As for Gao Wei's ambition and the research of the mutant human beings in the Northeast Base, they were no secrets for the members. Therefore, they all knew what kind of a guy Gao Wei was and wondered why he came suddenly.
