Chapter 579 Choice

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Terrorist attacks come and go quickly.

In less than ten minutes, when Xue Qingwei and his subordinates rushed down, the crowd was still in turmoil, but the intense gunfire had disappeared.

More than 20 terrorists and Lin Chaoyang disappeared at the same time as the gunshots.

"Where is he?!"

Xue Qingwei's face flushed red. Half angry, The other half was terrified, What happened today, No matter what, there is no escape from a crime of negligence, His future, Even his life was severely threatened. His biggest backer was Lin Qingtian. If Lin Qingtian was willing to speak up for him, then there was still a lot of room for manoeuvre. However, if something happened to Lin Qingtian's son, Lin Qingtian would definitely trample him to death. At that time, this crime of negligence would become extremely serious. Not to mention his position, his entire family would probably lose their lives.

Damn terrorists!

Xue Qingwei gritted his teeth and casually pulled over a representative of the Southwest Citizens who was squatting on the ground with his head cupped. His eyes were red and he angrily said, "Where is he? Where's Mayor Lin?"

Xue Qingwei, who was caught by him, struggled violently with his conditioned reflex and screamed miserably. He snorted coldly and punched his opponent in the abdomen. He said ferociously, "I asked you where Mayor Lin went. Tell me!"

"Mayor Lin..."

"Mayor Lin, we've been captured by the terrorists," said the deputy, his body trembling as if he had regained some consciousness.

"Which way did you go?"

Xue Qingwei's arm trembled slightly. His killing intent was out of control, and he looked like he could kill anyone at any time.

The People's Auditorium of Southwest City was located in the center of Southwest City. The streets were wide and the traffic was developed. In addition to today's battle, countless traffic policemen had already started to guard the surroundings three days ago. Vehicles were scarce and the traffic was in good condition. If the other party could directly charge over after killing the security forces around the auditorium, they would probably have long escaped without a trace.

"I don't know."

Sure enough, the representative in Xue Qingwei's hand was cold at first, and then he said blankly.

"Fuck off!"

Xue Qingwei, who could no longer suppress his anger, raised his leg and directly kicked the other party seven to eight meters away. He ignored the eyes of the slightly hateful people in the riots and waved his hand. He angrily said, "Chase, chase after him and save Mayor Lin for me!"

"Enough!"

A low shout filled with anger rang out.

Lin Qingtian walked down the stairs and said with a gloomy expression, "Chase?! How?! Did anyone see what the other party was driving? Did they have a license plate number? Can they see it from the surveillance cameras nearby? Can they grasp the escape direction of the other party? What's the use of chasing after him like a headless fly? And what if you guys catch up to him?"

"Fuehrer!"

Xue Qingwei roared in a low voice, his face filled with unwillingness.

"Do four things. First, restore traffic throughout Southwest City and turn on all the surveillance cameras. Second, mobilize all the forces in the city, including the police, armed police, special police and traffic police. Also, contact the military. All troops participate in the search. Remember, it's a search, not killing enemies! As long as he was in control of his opponent's movements, he would be able to avoid unnecessary casualties. Third, seal off all entrances and exits of Southwest City, all highways, all national highways, stations, airports, and heavily guarded areas. We must trap them in Southwest City! Fourth, notify the Divine Continent Guards, notify the southwest special forces theatre, and order them to immediately send elites to the southwest city to maintain the safety of the southwest city. "Qing Wei, do it immediately!"

Lin Qingtian's voice was deep and dignified. "Since the other party has captured Comrade Chao Yang alive, that means he is useful to terrorists. I know Comrade Chao Yang very well. He is not a person who will compromise with terrorists. As long as the terrorists have not achieved their goal, Comrade Chao Yang will be safe. This time is our opportunity to act immediately."

"Understood!"

Xue Qingwei's heart calmed down a lot with Lin Qingtian's voice. He saluted and walked out of the auditorium with large strides.

"Welcome, count the casualties, clear the roads near the auditorium and make sure that there are no dangers. We need to ensure their safety in order to evacuate the auditorium."

After Xue Qingwei's figure disappeared, Lin Qingtian turned around and spoke to Zhao Yingfei, secretary of the Southwest Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China. His tone was calm and composed.

His current identity was not as simple as that of the father of a kidnapped person.

He was the head of a country or a faction leader. With so many of his own people in his faction, if he messed up, the entire southwest faction and even the entire empire would have more variables.

"Alright."

Zhao Yingfei nodded and walked out. He took out his phone and started to make calls.

"Comrade Dongping, let's go to the Municipal Party Committee for tea. I want to see what those terrorists will do."

Lin Qingtian took a deep breath and patted Xu Dongping's shoulder.

"Do you think the terrorists will negotiate with us?"

Xu Dongping walked beside Lin Qingtian and said quietly.

"This is an inevitable result. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the other party to capture Lin Chaoyang alive."

Lin Qingtian walked through the crowd, his tone filled with confidence.

"Then, Fuehrer, how do you plan to deal with the terrorists' demands for negotiations?"

Xu Dongping was silent for a while, and then he asked intentionally or unintentionally. His tone was very gentle, as if he didn't have any other meaning and just asked the question along the topic.

Lin Qingtian's body paused for a moment, then he turned around and took a deep look at Xu Dongping.

His tone was low but unspeakably firm: "No matter what, I will not compromise."

"Absolutely not!"

...

"Damn it, who are you guys? What are you doing?! I'm the mayor of Southwest City. You bastards, I'm going to kill you!"

Toyota roared across the highway.

In the back row of the car, Lin Chaoyang, who was tightly tied up, struggled fiercely and shouted in English.

'"Oh, we know, we all know. Mayor Lin, you can't help but be the mayor of Southwest City and the son of the Imperial Head. Not bad. As for us? Didn't I just say that? My name is Raphael, one of the Archangels of the Angel Organization, your friend."

Raphael, who was driving the car himself, smiled and was in a very happy mood.

"Who the fuck is friends with you?! You damn terrorists, bastards! Put me down now, or I'll shoot you all one by one. Listen, Raphael, this isn't a threat!"

Lin Chaoyang said excitedly. His expression was gloomy and terrifying, and he was extremely dignified. The so-called official might was probably like this.

"Of course, this is not a threat. This is a rejection."

Raphael smiled, "Since Mayor Lin doesn't want to be friends with us, Ilo, give him some color."

"I'd be glad to."

A female terrorist sitting next to Lin Chaoyang smiled. In the next moment, a saber light flashed and a dagger pierced into Lin Chaoyang's thigh under Lin Chaoyang's frightened gaze.

Blood gushed wildly!

Lin Chaoyang's vision seemed to be quickly dyed scarlet red. In the intense pain, he started to scream in pain. But just as he called out a syllable, Yi Luo tightly covered his mouth and nose.

The suffocating feeling was accompanied by pain. Lin Chaoyang struggled crazily. His blood was flowing more and more. He was unable to breathe, so he quickly felt dizzy. The feeling of death descended. Lin Chaoyang's entire body stiffened. There was no longer any dignity of a high official in his eyes, only fear left.

He doesn't want to die.

He had been muddled for so many years. He had been ridiculed by others for so many years. His body was about to recover, and his life had just begun. His power, status, wealth, and reputation were all right in front of him. How could he die at this moment? How could he be willing to die? !

Lin Chaoyang's frightened gaze gradually turned into one of pleading.

Yi Luo looked at Lin Chaoyang who was getting stiffer and stiffer. The second before he was about to suffocate to death, he abruptly moved his hand away from his mouth.

"Cough cough cough … whoosh whoosh …"

Lin Chaoyang's body suddenly shook. He straightened his body, as if he had used his strength to suck milk. He was breathing heavily. The air in the southwest city was not good, and the pain in his legs no longer seemed to be obvious. Lin Chaoyang silently cried, as if he was rejoicing and rejoicing that he had never been able to survive.

"Mayor Lin, we have never been merciful towards enemies. There are two paths ahead of you. First, as our friends, Yi Luo will bandage your wounds. She will even become your woman, mistress, plaything. Mayor Lin can enjoy everything. "Second, as our friends, we will use countless interesting methods to torture you to death. Do you want to enjoy it or suffer? Mayor Lin, you have the right to choose freely now."

Raphael turned on the music in the car, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and said with a disgusted expression, "Your Divine Empire's cigarettes and music are terrible!"

"You bastards!"

Lin Chaoyang said weakly.

"Looks like I've been rejected again?"

Raphael smiled and said, "Elo..."

"No! No! I accept! I am willing to be your friend!"

Lin Chaoyang suddenly jumped up, as if to prove that he accepted Yi Luo's kindness. He hugged Yi Luo and kissed him forcefully.

Raphael smiled playfully.

Yi Luo was stunned for a moment, then she leaned against Lin Chaoyang, her charming face smiling exceptionally brilliantly.

Lin Chaoyang didn't look at the woman beside him. He just looked at Raphael through the rearview mirror and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, it should be your father's turn to do something now."

Raphael smiled and stepped on the accelerator. Toyota's speed increased once again and charged straight towards the southwest suburbs. "Mayor Lin, now you should admire the Angel's temporary base in Southwest City. I guarantee it will be a pleasant surprise."

...

"Fuehrer, in the battle in the auditorium, a total of 30 NPC deputies and 26 CPPCC members died in Southwest City, including the Executive Deputy Director of NPC. Seventeen reporters and photographers died. Thirty-three leaders of various departments, districts and counties under the southwest city died, among them, the secretary of Donggu District, the county magistrate of Linshui County and the deputy county magistrate died. In addition, 203 people were injured, both minor and serious. "

In the Southwest Municipal Party Committee office, Zhao Yingfei, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, stood beside Lin Qingtian with an ugly expression. Seeing his cold expression, he paused for a moment and continued, "Including Comrade Ji Jianzhang, he was seriously injured."

Ji Jianzhang.

Member of Standing Committee of Southwest Municipal CPC Committee, Minister of Supervision.

The fourth-ranked figure in Southwest City.

Lin Qingtian's expression became even colder.

"This is simply lawless! This is outrageous!"

Xu Dongping slammed the table with an angry expression.

"We must do a good job in dealing with the aftermath. If the families of the victims have any requests, they should try their best to satisfy them."

Lin Qingtian said calmly.

"I'm already dealing with it."

Zhao Yingfei nodded and said calmly.

Lin Qingtian didn't say anything else. He was completely certain of Zhao Yingfei's ability to work.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Lin Qingtian's eyelids twitched as he took out his personal phone.

At this time, there were only a handful of people who could call his private phone.

Lin Qingtian looked down at the caller ID and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Lin Chaoyang's number.

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Yingfei.

Zhao Yingfei immediately said, "Don't worry, the Fuehrer. The technical department is ready to quickly lock onto the other party's location through the phone."

Lin Qingtian grunted, pressed the answer button, pressed the speakerphone, and placed his phone on the desk.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Fuhrer? We are honored to be able to speak to you on the phone under such circumstances." The stiff Chinese rang out, and then it was changed to fluent English, "Mr. Fuhrer." We are honored to be able to speak to you under such circumstances. "

Lin Qingtian snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Who are you?!"

"We are victims."

On the phone, Raphael's voice rang, "A few days ago, your agents ran over my relatives in armored vehicles in Gotham. Mr. Fuehrer, you must give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

"What a brilliant reason!"

Lin Qingtian sneered. He understood in his heart, The so-called crushing of relatives was mostly an excuse, The actions of the Angel Organization were absolutely instigated by the US government. However, the other party's reasons were acceptable. Moreover, it had turned this operation from an official operation into a private revenge. The US still quietly separated itself from the Angel Organization and did not give the Divine Continent any food at all.

Lin Qingtian narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Tell me? I don't know what you're talking about. If you're sure it's us, is it enough to give you an explanation with Lin Chaoyang's life?"

Raphael was stunned for a moment and received an unexpected answer. He was a little stunned. After a long silence, he said indifferently, "Looks like we don't have anything to talk about anymore?"

"Dad! Dad! It's me, I'm Chaoyang! I'm your only son! You can't leave me, Dad! Truce! They want to stop the war and bring back all the men from the United States! I don't want to go to war with the United States! Furthermore, we don't need to let the royal family return! They're wolves, and the Emperor is a thief, Dad!"

A mournful voice rang out from the phone, echoing throughout the conference room.

Zhao Yingfei and Xu Dongping's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

'"Lin Chaoyang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Qingtian roared. "When did the empire have any manpower in the United States? What happened in the United States has nothing to do with the empire! The United States is forcing us to wage war now, so we have no choice!" Lin Qingtian said angrily.

"Dad! Don't lie to me. I know that it's Lin Xuanyuan who went to the United States and some people guarding the Divine Continent. Why don't you admit it? I'm going to die. My entire body is covered in blood. Do you want to watch me die? Do you want to die? Save me! Armistice!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Qingtian's face turned purple-black from anger, his entire body trembling.

"Mr. Fuehrer, it seems that you don't want to hear your son's voice anymore. Do you really insist on starting a war?"

Raphael's voice continued to ring on his phone.

"Armistice! Hmph, armistice! Is this Yurisses ' request?!"

Lin Qingtian said coldly.

"Perhaps it is more than an armistice, Divine Continent Empire apologized to the United States, "And pay substantial compensation. After all, the Divine Continent Empire has caused great damage to the United States and the Angel Organization. Of course, this is not Yurisses's request. We don't know Yurisses. It's just that we have many relatives living in the major cities of the United States. For the sake of our relatives not being slaughtered, we …"

"Don't tell me this is useless!"

Lin Qingtian did not hesitate to interrupt Raphael's farfetched reasons. The other party did not need to have any real reasons, nor did they need others to believe him. After all, this was what they had said personally. Before they could change their words, everything they had said was the truth.

Even if Raphael said that Lin Xuanyuan had stolen an egg from his family, so they wanted to take revenge on the Divine Continent Empire, the others had no choice.

"Alright."

Raphael smiled. "Then let's talk about something useful, Mr. Fuhrer. Two choices." First, the Divine Continent Empire gave the Angel Organization $2 trillion in economic compensation. In addition, they rejected the return of the royal family and declared the royal family to the world as a terrorist organization, calling on the countries of the world to kill them. "Second, you will lose your only son, a dead son, an angel will descend on the Divine Continent Empire to take revenge on the southwest faction. At that time, you will lose your son, and you will lose everything and become a sinner!"

"So vicious."

Lin Qingtian laughed furiously. He could not choose between these two choices, declaring that the royal family was a terrorist? Not to mention how the royal family would react, Even Chen Hualou would be the first to go crazy, At that time, the royal family would also start a full-scale war with the southwest faction regardless of the consequences. Moreover, the news of the return of the royal family had already spread among the people. At this time, the people would not support the southwest faction if they fought with the royal family. The consequences of such a disturbance were no longer as simple as the civil strife in the empire. In the end, it was very likely that the empire would split apart.

The war with the United States would turn into a civil war.

Choose the second one?

Not to mention the pain of death. If the southwest faction were to encounter the crazy suppression of the Angel Organization, the resentment within the faction would be overwhelming. In addition to their grudges with the royal faction, a large portion of the people would probably directly hold grudges against Lin Qingtian, blaming him for not choosing the first condition.

When the southwestern faction was torn apart, he would also lose everything.

Choose the first, be a national sinner.

Choose the second, be a sinner of the faction.

Lin Qingtian clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails piercing into his flesh and blood dripping from his palms.

The fate of the empire, the fate of the factions, their own fate.

The choice was all in his mind.

...
