Chapter 625 Bombing!

Bye?

Bai Xingjian looked at the notification on the screen indicating the end of the call, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

Clearly, the military minister was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.

"How did it go?" Guo Nu asked as he walked up to Bai Xingjian after he hung up the phone. "What are the military minister's instructions?"

No instructions.

"No instructions?"

"He hung up the phone."

"."

Guo Nu's fat face twitched.

He had served as Shen Wuxiang's adjutant and knew his boss's temperament very well.

This proves that he was very angry.

I'm so angry I don't even want to talk to you anymore. Figure it out yourself.

You've figured it out! Congratulations, you've secured a glimmer of hope for yourself.

If you can't figure it out, then you'll be left behind.
"General Bai, how about this?" Guo Nu's eyes were fierce as he made a throat-slitting gesture.

He knew how he got his position as the head of the Security Bureau; without Shen Wuxiang's support, he was nothing.

Therefore, he had to find a way to win the favor of the military minister.

Bai Xingjian pondered for a moment and said, "Go in and talk to them. Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."

Bai Xingjian and Guo Nu entered the room again. Bai Xingjian looked at Sheng Jing and said, "We have reported to the Military Minister, and he still hopes to meet with the Finance Minister in Qishan. Please do not disappoint the Military Minister's good intentions."

"I've said it before, I will never go to Qishan. I'd rather die than go." Sheng Jing's attitude was resolute.

Once you go to Shen Wuxiang's stronghold, you'll never come out.

What's more, I have to bring my wife and daughter with me. Who knows what kind of dirty things that military thug might do?
"Shengjing, don't be ungrateful." Guo said angrily, "Do you really think we're afraid of your bomb? Do you believe I can trap you all here and kill you?"

The Security Bureau is responsible for containing the Sheng family mansion. If they prevent the Sheng family members from entering or leaving, they will starve to death here.

Without water, electricity, food, or clothing, how long can they survive?
"If you're afraid of dying, then go to Qishan with you."

"If you're not afraid of death, I don't believe there's anyone in this world who isn't afraid of death."

"It's definitely worth a try."

"Give it a try!"

Guo angrily pointed at Sheng Jing, looking like he was about to get violent towards him.

I don't know what happened, but I suddenly tripped over something and fell headlong in the direction of Sheng Kuang.

Guo Nu straightened his back, trying to back away, but it was too late.

The young master's reaction speed was beyond what Sheng Kuang could match, his body weakened by wine and women. In the blink of an eye, Sheng Kuang had his thick neck gripped in his hand.

"Director."

"Release our bureau chief."

"Stop the commotion!"
-
Everyone in the security bureau was terrified.

If the bureau chief is injured or killed, they will also suffer the consequences.

Bai Xingjian looked at Sheng Kuang and shouted, "Sheng Kuang, what do you want to do?"

"Prepare a miniature starship; we need to leave Phoenix City," Sheng Kuang said expressionlessly.

There are flying cars in the basement, but they can't carry that many people.

Therefore, they need a miniature starship with more space and a faster speed.

“That’s impossible.” Bai Xingjian immediately refused: “Without the military minister’s order, none of us have the right to release him.”

Sheng Kuang tightened his grip on Guo Nu's hand, turning Guo Nu's chubby face a deep liver color.

"Help."

Guo struggled desperately.

Sheng Kuang loosened his grip and looked at Bai Xingjian, asking, "Is it okay now?"

"Help! General Bai, help me!" Guo Nu pleaded, his legs off the ground.

Bai Xingjian remained silent.

"General Bai, give it to him. Give him the star disc. Give him the star disc."

Guo Nu didn't want to die.

Regardless, we must first meet the requirements of a grand spectacle to give ourselves a glimmer of hope.

As long as they live, they have endless possibilities.

Even if the military minister blames him, that will only happen after he is alive.

Bai Xingjian looked conflicted.

Everyone could understand his predicament.

Give it to them; we won't be able to explain it to the military minister.

If we don't give it to them, Guo Nu will die.

He didn't care whether Guo Nu lived or died, but he would let him die in front of him.
Thinking about it, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it.

"I'll count to three," Sheng Kuang shouted. "If you don't agree, I'll strangle him. I, Sheng Kuang, am a drunkard, and I don't care if I die. With the Director of the Security Bureau by my side, I'll still be drinking even in hell."

"three"

Sheng Kuang had barely uttered a number when Guo Nu screamed hoarsely, "Say yes! Say yes! General Bai, help me!"

"Consider it a favor I owe you. As long as I'm alive, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Bai Xingjian should not.

"two"

"General Bai, I know you're afraid of the Prime Minister's wrath. You're pushing all the blame onto me. I will personally go to the Prime Minister to explain." "It's all my fault, General Bai, I don't want to die!"

"One"

Just as Sheng Kuang was about to strangle Guo Nu, Bai Xingjian finally made his final decision.

"Wait," Bai Xingjian said sharply, "I promise you."

Sheng Kuang grinned and said, "Then I'll have to trouble General Bai."

"Someone, prepare the starship." Bai Xingjian ordered loudly, his face grim.

"Yes."

Someone answered.

Soon, a miniature starship descended from the sky and landed on the wide street in front of the Finance Minister's residence.

"The starship has arrived. You can leave now," Bai Xingjian said.

"We're afraid we can't leave on our own, so we'll have to trouble Director Guo to escort us," Sheng Kuang said casually, with a hostage in hand.

"That won't do. What if you don't let me come back?"

Guo Nu was the first to refuse.

He's not stupid. If he goes on the ship with them, he'll be at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board.

Bai Xingjian agreed wholeheartedly and looked at Sheng Kuang, saying, "If you want to take Director Guo away, then no one will be able to leave."

"It doesn't matter." Sheng Kuang shrugged, adopting a nonchalant attitude, and said, "We're all going to die anyway, so what difference does it make where we die? It's just a matter of dying sooner or later."

"."

Now it was Guo Nu and Bai Xingjian's turn to feel bad.

They would rather die than go to Qishan; they had long since disregarded life and death.

Can they do that too?

The current situation is dire: armor-piercing bullets in the left hand, and Guo Nu's neck in the right.
His favorite wine gourd was lying on the ground.

Bai Xingjian looked at Guo Nu and asked, "Director Guo, what do you have to say?"

That's how things are; it's your fate, so naturally you have to make the choice yourself.

Guo Nu's face turned ashen, and he was in extreme pain.

However, he knew he couldn't delay, because he could sense that Sheng Kuang really wanted to kill him.

He felt his heart racing and his breathing becoming labored.

With just a little force from the other person, I ran out of breath.

He looked around, his gaze landing on Sheng Jing's face, and called out, "Sheng Jing, Minister of Finance, you promise you won't kill me?"

It's really laughable, actually, Sheng Jing was the person he hated and disliked the most.

In order to get Sheng Xinhuai, he had been plotting to kill this old man.

But in this life-or-death situation, this turned out to be the only person he could trust.
Because everyone in the empire knows that Sheng Jing always keeps his word and has never done anything against his promise.

A true gentleman is one who keeps his word.

In this respect, he is very similar to his teacher, Shang Xiulin.

Sheng Jing looked at Guo Nu and said solemnly, "I guarantee it."

"You promise to have someone send me back?"

Sheng Jing replied again, "I promise."

"Fine, I believe you," Guo said through gritted teeth. "I'm willing to see you off."

"Director Guo, are you really planning to board the ship?"

Guo Nu gave a bitter laugh: "Is there a better option?"

Bai Xingjian was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Take care."

"You guys go up first," Sheng Kuang said, looking at Sheng Jing.

"Let's board the ship."

Without hesitation, Sheng Jing pulled Mei Yuyin and Sheng Xinhuai away, and the Sheng family's stewards, servants, bodyguards and others also went up to take over the star disc.

"General Bai, there is a time for regret."

Sheng Kuang then carried Guo Nu's body onto the boat.

Guo Nuwu was short and fat.

However, in the hands of this minor master, Sheng Kuang, it was no different from carrying a piglet.

It looks kind of cute.

The hatch closed, the spaceship took off, and then disappeared into the night sky.

Bai Xingjian dialed Shen Wuxiang's number again and said, "Military Minister, Sheng Kuang has kidnapped Director Guo Nu and escaped Phoenix City in a starship."

“Sheng Jing betrayed his country and fled; his crime is unforgivable.”

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xingjian said to his adjutant, "Pass on my order: lock onto the starship and bomb it."

"Yes."

The adjutant agreed and immediately issued the order.

Soon, three Hunter intercontinental ballistic missiles shot out into the night sky, pursuing the target at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

boom!
Outside Phoenix City, above Mount Lingjiu, a violent explosion resounded.

The firelight illuminated the sky, like an overturned celestial furnace of gold, with scalding golden-red light pouring down through the gaps in the clouds.

As a result, the lake surface became dazzling and colorful.
