Chapter 943: Chapter 943: Mobilizing the Power of the Police
Gao Mantang looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "Do you think this is necessary?"
At first, Gao Mantang merely considered Xiang Yu a promising young talent, but gradually he realized Xiang Yu wasn’t as simple as he seemed. It became increasingly difficult for him to figure Xiang Yu out.
"Let’s wait a bit," Xiang Yu said calmly.
At this point, Xiang Yu was almost certain: the person who made the call must belong to the Falcon Organization. They now knew Gao Zhitao was hiding here and would definitely come seeking revenge. As long as Xiang Yu stayed alert, locating members of the Falcon Organization shouldn’t be too difficult.
But if Gao Mantang’s men got involved, the problem would become much more severe. If they discovered that soldiers were guarding the area, it could lead to significant destruction across the entire city.
"Wait for what? If I wait any longer, I’ll be blasted into dust!" Gao Zhitao said with some irritation.
Tie Zhuzi, standing to one side, slapped Gao Zhitao on the head and said, "Kid, behave yourself here. Whatever Brother Yu says, goes."
Gao Zhitao was about to get angry but then remembered his physical limitations. He still needed Tie Zhuzi’s help for many things. Gritting his teeth, he just shot Tie Zhuzi a stare without saying anything.
Gao Mantang nodded and said, "Zhitao’s safety is in your hands now. I have to leave for some business."
Xiang Yu merely nodded without speaking. In Gao Mantang’s view, even if someone made threats over the phone, it was probably just some petty troublemakers.
He had seen Xiang Yu’s skills; with Xiang Yu and his team here, his grandson should be quite safe.
There was still a lot unresolved regarding Huang Yi, so Gao Mantang had only come to check in before leaving in a hurry.
After Gao Mantang left, Gao Zhitao looked at Xiang Yu somewhat puzzled and asked, "Hey Xiang Yu, since this issue is so serious, why not have him send more soldiers to guard the place?"
"I get scared whenever I see soldiers," Xiang Yu said casually, then sat farther away to watch TV.
Gao Zhitao muttered to himself, "What nonsense is this? He wasn’t scared when all those soldiers were standing around the other day."
Tie Zhuzi also wanted to walk away, but before he could, Gao Zhitao grinned and said, "Big Brother Tie, I need to pee again."
"Get lost!"
Xiang Yu and his team stayed at the hospital until around 8:00 PM. Then, Xiang Yu’s phone suddenly rang—it was a call from Han Rumei.
"Xiang Yu, one of the brothers reported spotting a few foreign men and women on the easternmost edge of the city. Their behavior is suspicious," Han Rumei said.
"The easternmost side?" Xiang Yu frowned in thought, then asked, "Any notable landmarks there or crowded places?"
Han Rumei thought for a moment and said, "Would the train station count?"
Hearing the words "train station," Xiang Yu froze for an instant. It had to be—their target was Gao Zhitao, and they had just arrived here. But they might first create chaos elsewhere.
The hospital was located slightly to the west-center of the city. If they caused a commotion in the eastern district to divert police and everyone’s attention, then came over to kill Gao Zhitao, it would be a win-win move for them.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu quickly stood up and walked over to Gao Zhitao. Right now, the Heavenly Dragon Gang wasn’t around, which left Xiang Yu feeling somewhat stretched thin.
At the moment, Gao Zhitao and Tie Zhuzi were busy bragging to each other. Seeing Xiang Yu’s serious expression, Gao Zhitao asked, "What happened?"
With a stern look, Xiang Yu said to Gao Zhitao, "As the Public Security Bureau Chief, does anything you say carry weight?"
Gao Zhitao was unsure of Xiang Yu’s intentions but vowed, "Of course. Even though I just took on the role recently, one word from me and I can mobilize all the city’s police."
Only then did Xiang Yu nod and say, "Good. Now call and gather all the off-duty police officers here tonight."
"What?" Gao Zhitao said, surprised. "Have you gone mad? What’s the point of doing this in the dead of night?"
Tie Zhuzi also glanced at Xiang Yu in astonishment. What was going on? Could it be Xiang Yu wanted to have some fun with these officers?
"It’s 8:30 now—get everyone here by 9:00. Quickly," Xiang Yu said, his brow furrowed.
Gao Zhitao coughed a few times and said with a bitter expression, "Xiang Yu, don’t mess around. This is a serious matter. You need to tell me why you’re calling everyone in."
Although Gao Zhitao was a bit sloppy, he knew how to weigh situations when it mattered.
The recent incident involving soldiers surrounding the district office had already made him very passive. That mess had started because of him. Now Xiang Yu was asking him to gather all the police, which felt equally absurd.
Throughout his entire time as an officer, Gao Zhitao had never encountered a major case requiring the unified action of all police forces.
At this point, Xiang Yu didn’t want to waste time arguing with Gao Zhitao. He said directly, "A group of terrorists is planning to bomb the train station. They’re organizing as we speak. We need to act fast and root them out—otherwise, the consequences will be catastrophic."
Hearing this, Gao Zhitao stared at Xiang Yu in astonishment. He couldn’t understand—was Xiang Yu secretly with the National Security Bureau? How did he seem to know everything?
Back at the shopping mall, Xiang Yu had been the one to discover the bomb. Now there was another situation like this. Thinking about the train station potentially being blown up, Gao Zhitao broke out in a cold sweat.
"Are you serious?" Gao Zhitao asked nervously.
"Serious or not, Brother Yu has never lied to you. Get on with it—make the call!" Tie Zhuzi said while slapping Gao Zhitao on the back.
Gao Zhitao’s face turned dark—truth be told, Xiang Yu had lied to him before.
"How many police officers can you mobilize?" Xiang Yu asked.
Gao Zhitao thought about it and replied, "The city has one Public Security Bureau, ten sub-divisions, formal officers, auxiliary police, plus the armed police force and some temporary staff..."
"Alright, alright—just tell me how many people you can get together," Xiang Yu interrupted, having no patience for these departmental details.
"If you exclude those on duty and cases currently being worked on, gathering 400 people shouldn’t be an issue," Gao Zhitao calculated. "If we pull in police from nearby counties..."
"That’s enough—400 is plenty. Make the call now," Xiang Yu said, tossing the phone to Tie Zhuzi.
Gao Zhitao eventually agreed. He handed Tie Zhuzi a number, who then dialed.
Once the call connected, Gao Zhitao said, "This is Gao Zhitao. Notify the police department and all sub-divisions: every officer without active duty must come to Tianyu Hospital immediately to meet me. Remember, everyone must come in secret."
"Understood, Chief Gao. Any other instructions?"
The person on the other end didn’t ask further questions. This was the first directive Gao Zhitao had issued since taking office—they had no idea what he was planning.
Gao Zhitao arrogantly added, "Everyone has to be here within thirty minutes—I have urgent orders to give..."
