Chapter 521 Ding Yao: Brother Yao, You Are Awesome!!!
Although the data of the three opinion polls showed that Ding Yao and him were still three percentage points apart, which was within the margin of error.
But he felt that he had already won this election.
It was necessary to come out to campaign today to consolidate the base.
He spent 500 million New Taiwan dollars for this legislative election.
He had almost used up all the cash on hand.
But in this era, as long as you become a legislator, it would not be too easy to get back 500 million in 4 years.
If you are a little more ruthless, the profit can exceed 1.5 billion.
It will be easy to be re-elected in the next term.
As long as you serve as a legislator for two terms, you will definitely make more than running a construction company.
When you don’t want to be a legislator anymore, you can retire and continue to do business.
By then, the entire network of people will have been established, and you will make more money.
It can be said that as long as you can become a legislator, it will be a huge profit.
To put it bluntly, for most people, being a legislator is a business, a highly profitable business.
After Lv Zhongbo’s campaign team arrived at a corner of Quanbo Street, they met his opponent Ding Yao’s campaign team.
This street was not wide to begin with. After the two motorcades met, they slowed down and had to pass each other carefully.
Seeing that Ding Yao had already gotten out of the car, Lv Zhongbo also got out of the car.
The street was so crowded that there was no difference between riding in a car and walking.
Besides, he had to ridicule his opponent.
After tidying up his suit and hairstyle, he walked up to Ding Yao and said
"Miss Ding, this is your first time running for election. You have no experience!"
"I tell you, you have no chance this time. You should run in a different constituency next time."
"Lv Zhongbo, I tell you that the election is not over yet. No one can predict who will be the winner."
"Don't think that Lin Zhengwei's withdrawal from the election is good for you now. Do you know that there is a saying that the higher you climb, the worse you fall?"
Ding Yao said coldly.
"Haha! Are you furious?"
"Why don't you just be the leader of the Sanlian Gang? Why are you running for election?"
"It will cost several hundred million this time, and I won't even be the leader. Why bother?"
After that, Lv Zhongbo led the campaign team to the front.
He clasped his hands together and said things like "Wish you good fortune and please help me."
But at this moment, his assistant A Ping told him that something happened.
Lv Zhongbo hurriedly turned back and whispered, "A Ping, what happened?"
"Boss, look, Ding Yao seems to have been shot."
A Ping pointed at Ding Yao and said to Lv Zhongbo.
Lv Zhongbo looked up and saw Ding Yao holding her chest with both hands, not in any pain.
There was a large pool of blood on her chest.
She was pale and then fainted.
Ding Yao's men were shouting loudly: "Quick, send Miss Ding to Zhongzheng Hospital for emergency treatment, hurry up!"
"Damn it, don't be slow, I'll chop you..."
At the same time, pedestrians on the street made way, and some went to the nearby telephone booth to call the police.
For a moment, the whole street was in chaos.
After seeing this scene, Lu Zhongbo showed a sneer on his face, and said to A Ping:
"A Ping, Ding Yao must have been shot by her enemies. She used to be a member of the Sanlian Gang and offended too many people."
"Okay, this time I really lied to be elected, haha!!"
After saying that, Lu Zhongbo went back directly with his election team.
Because he was sure to win, he didn't need to ask those voters for help at all.
His election supervisor said to him:
"Brother Bo, this is the last mile, you must not slack off!"
"If Ding Yao died, then you are definitely safe. If she is not dead, the situation may really change."
Lv Zhongbo thought it made sense and asked:
"What should we do now?"
The election supervisor said to him, "First, you arrange someone to go to the hospital to see if Ding Yao is dead or not. You must bribe the doctor to find out the situation."
"Second, you have to continue canvassing without stopping, otherwise many people will change their minds when they vote tomorrow, which is a taboo in elections."
After hearing what the election supervisor said. Lv Zhongbo nodded reluctantly and said:
"Okay, let's arrange it this way."
Then, he said to A Ping:
"A Ping. Take two more people with you to see."
"If anything happens to Ding Yao, call me immediately."
"Yes, boss!"
Assistant A Ping immediately took a few men to follow Ding Yao and their election team.
Lv Zhongbo began to continue canvassing on the streets.
But at this moment his waist was not as bent as before.
He looked even more smug.
Some vendors refused to shake hands with him when they saw his expression.
If there hadn't been a TV reporter following him today, Lv Zhongbo would have fought with the person who refused to shake hands with him.
Don't forget that he was born in Tiandao Sect.
Although he has been cleaned up for many years, it is difficult to change one's nature. A rogue is a rogue.
What he didn't know was that the reporters at the scene had already started to publish various reports.
Two of them were paid by others.
These two companies have always been very good at leading the trend. This is not the Internet age.
In addition to watching TV news, people rely on newspapers to get information.
After more than an hour of canvassing for votes, Lv Zhongbo felt that he didn't need to work so hard.
He took his people back directly regardless of the election supervisor's persuasion.
After dining out with his mistress, he went to a love hotel and had sex before returning home.
After returning home, A Ping told him anxiously,
"Boss, something happened, something big happened!!"
After that, he handed him a copy of the Lianhe Daily.
When Lv Zhongbo took the Lianhe Daily and saw the headline, he exploded.
He threw the newspaper on the ground and shouted:
"Screw you, A Ping, go ask which reporter from the United Daily News framed me. This is a complete frame-up of me."
"Go, find someone to kill him, kill him tonight, and catch his mother and wife to be prostitutes."
Hearing what Lv Zhongbo said, A Ping hurriedly advised: "Boss, don't do this."
"Tomorrow is the vote. If something happens tonight, I will definitely not be elected. The National Police Agency will also intervene. Now is a critical moment. Be patient."
After Lv Zhongbo took a deep breath, he knew that A Ping was right and he had to be patient now.
After taking a sip of tea, he sat on the sofa and flipped through other newspapers.
Then he turned on the TV, watched it for 2 minutes, and smashed the remote control.
Whether it was newspapers or TV, the headlines were all the same, that is, Ding Yao was shot, and the mastermind behind the scenes was his opponent Lu Zhongbo.
Three of the newspapers directly named him, and the TV news only said that the opponent did not name him.
But everyone knows who will benefit from Ding Yao being shot at this time? It must be Lu Zhongbo.
Even if Lu Zhongbo had 10,000 mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.
At this time, his campaign manager Xie Zhengwu hurriedly came to him and said:
"Boss, you must hold a press conference to clarify the relevant situation, otherwise people's words are scary, and the vote will be held tomorrow, which is very disadvantageous to you."
After hearing Xie Zhengwu's words, Lu Dongbo stood there and thought about it.
After weighing the pros and cons, he hesitated for 2 minutes before saying to Xie Zhengwu:
"Okay, you go and mobilize all your connections. Invite as many reporters as you can, and give each of them a small red envelope."
"Boss, forget about the small red envelope, it will be suspected of bribery. Just give each of them a snack, it will comply with the rules of the election." Xie Zhengwu said.
"Okay, okay, anyway, as long as it complies with the rules, what should I do? You do it."
"You can report to me tomorrow how much money you want. Who the hell is hurting me? Is it that bitch Ding Yao?"
"Fuck, after this incident is over, I will beat him up."
Lv Zhongbo walked around the living room anxiously, cursing.
Xie Zhengwu went out to make arrangements immediately.
Lu Zhongbo suddenly thought of something and asked A Ping:
"By the way, is Ding Yao dead?"
A Ping shook his head and said, "There is no news at all. Outside Zhongzheng Hospital are members of the Sanlian Gang and people from the police headquarters. We can't get in at all. I heard from a few people outside that she has been sent to the ICU."
"I think those people outside are unreliable and may not be true. I bribed a doctor to let him go in to get the news."
"He came out and told me that the person might not be able to survive, but he is still being rescued. The best case is that he is in a vegetative state, and the probability is death."
"Because the bullet hit the heart, the doctor is now using a pacemaker."
"That's good, that's good, Ding Yao was really shot, so who is the mastermind behind it?"
A Ping expressed his doubts to Lu Zhongbo.
Lv Zhongbo waved his hand in annoyance and said:
"Fuck, who cares who he is, let's talk about the election tomorrow."
"By the way, I will hold a press conference later. Please rehearse what questions the reporters may ask so that I can be prepared."
"Your entire outline, go quickly!"
"Okay, Brother Bo!"
...
At this moment, outside the VIP ward of Zhongzheng Hospital, there are all members of the Sanlian Gang and members of the War Hall.
The same is true outside the hospital.
From the dean to the doctors, all received red envelopes from Ding Yao and did what Ding Yao said.
At the same time, all the patients on this floor were transferred to other wards.
The whole arrangement can be said to be seamless.
In the VIP ward.
Ding Yao lay on the bed, watching the TV news and muttering to himself:
"Brother Yao, you are great! This plan is really wonderful!"
...
An hour and a half later.
Taibei was in the conference room of Vienna International Hotel.
Lv Zhongbo had arrived at the scene with an outline in his hand.
At this moment, there were already four or five hundred reporters at the scene.
It can be said that the event was unprecedented, and the conference room was packed.
Some photographers had no camera positions at all and were cursing.
Some photographers got the chance, but were constantly squeezed by others. The two sides started a quarrel and the scene was in chaos.
However, after seeing Lv Zhongbo appear, the scene became even more boiling!
One by one, they rushed to ask questions to Lv Zhongbo. The scene was in chaos.
People squeezed and pressed each other. There were noises, curses... It was a mess.
Lv Zhongbo's assistant A Ping held the microphone and said loudly:
"Dear journalists, please be quiet and return to your seats."
"Mr. Lv promises to answer all your questions, and he will tell you everything he knows."
After hearing what A Ping said, Lu Zhongbo's men had already begun to maintain order.
At the same time, more than a dozen policemen also arrived at the scene to maintain order, and soon the scene gradually became quiet.
After the scene quieted down, Lu Zhongbo took the microphone and said slowly:
“Dear journalist friends, first of all, what I want to say is that what is said in newspapers and on TV are all rumors, all framed by me, and all intended to prevent people from being elected. This is illegal, and I will retain my legal rights!!! "
"Now I officially clarify that Miss Ding Yao's misfortune today has nothing to do with me!"
"I have great sympathy for his injuries and I will be visiting her personally in the hospital tomorrow."
As soon as the words fell, a female reporter from the "Lianhe Daily" took out her own microphone and said loudly:
"Mr. Lu Zhongbo, you used to be the corner head of Tiandao Sect."
"You have the ability, the means, the purpose, and the motive to kill your competitors, don't you?"
"Lin Zhengwei withdrew from the election inexplicably, and Ding Yao was shot before being elected. It is said that the situation is not optimistic. You are the only one who benefits from all this."
This female reporter's question made Lu Zhongbo furious!
If it had been before, he would have smashed the microphone in his hand directly.
But he knew he couldn't do that now, otherwise it would be over.
He made fists with both hands and sat down, squeezing tightly again and again, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
After about 20 seconds, he looked at the female reporter from Lianhe Daily and said:
"Miss, I joined the Tiandao Sect when I was young and ignorant. I admit this, but I have been a law-abiding citizen for a long time!!"
"In the past ten years or so, I have been engaged in construction business, real estate, and also done a lot of charity work. I usually have to help the old lady when crossing the road. It can be said that I am a prodigal son who can never change his fortune."
As soon as he finished speaking, a male reporter from another newspaper said loudly:
"Mr. Lu Zhongbo, I think what you said is too insulting to our intelligence, right?"
"Today you went to Quanbo Street to sweep the streets for votes, and I was there at the time."
"I saw you had contact with Miss Ding Yao after you got off the campaign convertible."
"You also deliberately ridiculed her and told her to be careful. I'm not just talking nonsense. I have evidence."
After finishing speaking, the reporter took out dozens of photos from the briefcase he carried and showed them to Lu Zhongbo.
Then distributed to others nearby.
Those photos were quickly seen by reporters nearby.
These photos are all very interesting, and the angles are chosen very cleverly.
Lu Zhongbo's arrogant attitude at that time, the villain's triumphant chicken and dog ascending to heaven, was perfectly photographed.
Campaign manager Xie Zhengwu walked off the stage and quickly took a few photos and placed them in front of Lu Zhongbo.
After Lu Zhongbo looked at a few photos, he took the microphone and said loudly:
"This reporter, you have ulterior motives in taking pictures."
"At that time, I advised her to change her electoral district next time, but he couldn't get elected this time. Isn't this common campaign language?" (End of Chapter)
