Chapter 244 Plan
Immediately, the barrage exploded.
[She actually cheated on her own subordinate and also committed domestic violence. How disgusting.]
[I can't believe that the leader elected by the entire empire has such a low character. He is simply a rotten person.]
Why is this world so fucked up? Even the First Lady can't get a divorce. This is truly a woman's purgatory. It's never going to get any better. Wow...
Is there no way to get Zhang Quanmin out of office? Let's get someone new.
"You women really have no sense of purpose. You only focus on the underworld and don't even consider how much the leader has contributed to the empire's economy since taking office."
"If you ask me, banning divorce is too mild. We should switch to polygamy. Without men, you women are nothing."
[Men, stop trying to clean up your act here. Having an affair with your subordinate is a political scandal, right? If it were a female leader, she'd have been scolded to death long ago.]
[It's not just a matter of infidelity; it's clearly abuse of power for personal gain! Someone who can't even control their own sexual desires must have done countless dirty things behind the scenes.]
[Back when Huang Tian was still in power, weren't those high-ranking criminals saved by the leader's special pardon?]
Why is there such a thing as a pardon? In ancient times, it was known that if a prince broke the law, he would be punished just like a commoner. In modern times, the head of state still has special privileges. How is this different from a feudal emperor?
Let the judicial authorities investigate directly and impeach the leader and remove him from office.
[Just stepping down is not enough? The death penalty is necessary!]
The crowd in the live broadcast room was very excited, and even if one or two people occasionally spoke up for Zhang Quanming, they were quickly rebuked.
With a loud bang, Zhang Quanmin in the chief's office slammed the tablet in his hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
The impact of this incident is too bad. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely affect his re-election plan. Not only these lowly inferior people, but also those opponents in Congress are probably laughing at him.
Zhang Quanming raised his head, his eyes red, and said viciously, "Bring that woman back to me—no, kill her for me!"
The military chief, who had hurried over, said with a sullen face, "We've repeatedly studied the footage from the scene. Those protesters are definitely wearing electromagnetic armor capable of melting metal. Traditional gunpowder weapons are unlikely to harm them."
“Who provides them with the equipment?”
"…We're still investigating."
Zhang Quanming suddenly gripped the corner of the table, veins popping out on the back of his hand. "Then send in the laser rifle troops!"
His voice suddenly turned sinister. "A bunch of thugs attacking the government, even if we kill them all, it won't matter, right?"
————
Empire State Square.
The agitated protesters planned to march to the Capitol building.
Originally, their march route didn't include the Capitol. But Zhu Yun's speech, the military's provocations, Lan Yan's accusations...everything showed the government's arrogance and shamelessness.
This completely ignited the anger of the people, and they were no longer satisfied with simple marches and protests.
"Zhang Quanming must come forward and personally confess the crimes he committed."
"That's right, we need to make him stand in front of the camera and apologize to the people of the entire empire!"
"We want freedom! We want the leader to step down! We want to elect our own leader!"
Zhu Yun stood on the high platform, listening to the angry shouts of the crowd, his eyes dark. The development of the matter was exactly as the president had expected.
"Then change your route and head to the Capitol. Be sure to maintain order in the procession and avoid damaging businesses and property along the way."
The parade set off in an orderly fashion, the red flags of the Women's Suffrage Party fluttering above the parade like a surging wave. No one knew that the parade's final destination was the Capitol.
The crowds on the street have been dispersed and all the shops along the way have closed.
The crowd marched forward with high morale, firmly believing that this protest would definitely force that bitch Zhang Quanming to step down.
However, as soon as the group reached the Champs-Élysées, they discovered that the road had been blocked by military police. A shrill warning blared from the loudspeaker: "Everyone go home immediately! Any protesters on the street will be arrested!"
As if they had learned their lesson, the military and police did not rashly attack the protesters. Instead, they formed a human wall with riot shields and batons to prevent the team from moving forward.
Wang Chun stood guard at Zhu Yun's side, looking ahead coldly, "Chairman, do you want to order the shooting?"
Zhu Yun frowned. If he took the initiative to provoke a conflict, there would be no room for retreat.
But now that things have come to this, if I choose to turn back, won’t all my previous efforts be in vain?
She opened her mouth, "..."
A huge roar came from above, drowning out her voice.
Zhu Yun looked up at the sky which was divided into pieces by countless skyscrapers. He saw more than a dozen helicopters flying over the crowd, and dense bombs fell like rain.
Her heart suddenly tightened. This was...
Before she could react, her body was suddenly pulled to the side and a wet towel was covered over her mouth and nose.
"Chairman Zhu, be careful, it's □□!"
Before she could finish her words, there was a loud bang and a bomb exploded in front of them. White smoke quickly spread among the crowd. The originally neat team suddenly fell into chaos, and people scattered in panic because their vision was blocked.
Zhu Yun felt a sharp burning sensation sweep across his face, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes due to the stinging pain.
She tightly grasped the strong arm that supported her, and finally managed to stand steady. She spoke with difficulty, "Ahem..."
Wang Chun put his ear close to the table. "Chairman Zhu, what did you say?"
Zhu Yun raised his voice: "Shoot! Break through the military and police defense line first, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Wang Chun twirled the gun in his hand with one hand, his eyes fixed on the front. "The smoke is too thick, I can't see the target clearly, and I have to protect your safety first."
They had launched so many missiles into the crowd that the smoke thickened and made it impossible to see anything.
Although the crowd was in chaos, no one retreated, but instead rushed forward desperately.
Zhu Yun endured the burning pain and reached out to touch the laser gun. "As a leader, how can you hide behind others because you are afraid of death?"
She pushed Wang Chun away and strode forward. Wang Chun was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
However, it was not easy to break through the military and police defense line. Many people were injured and fell to the ground, and Zhu Yun was also hit in the arm by a baton.
Unlike what was expected, there was no crying or shouting at the scene, only dull explosions.
The angry crowd gave up crying and expressed their patience through actions.
In the midst of the chaos, a passionate singing voice came from somewhere.
Zhu Yun and Wang Chun turned around in surprise and found a group of young people walking down another street, each with an extremely serious face.
I'm a student of S University!
Their arrival excited everyone. For a moment, everyone sang the song of freedom, and the crowd that had been dispersed by the police gathered again.
Students joined the fray with laser guns.
A small gap was opened in the military and police lines, which quickly collapsed, and they fled in panic, abandoning their equipment and weapons.
————
The men were also following the live broadcast of the protest. Because they didn't want to give traffic to the Xinhuo APP, they opened a text live broadcast forum, which quickly became a hot post in the group, attracting countless people to follow and watch.
They were already very angry that the women dared to resist, and they wanted to be there in person to teach them a lesson.
Unexpectedly, the result was that the men were beaten unilaterally.
[What a bunch of losers! They can't even beat a woman.]
If I were to go there, I would have beaten them so badly that they wouldn't even recognize their own fathers.
[They actually dared to ask the leader to step down. This is hilarious. It's just an affair, what man in the world doesn't cheat?]
I think these feminists were sent from abroad. Without funding from foreign forces, where would they get their advanced weapons?
[Latest news from inside: Special Forces have been dispatched. Just wait and see, their arrogance won't last much longer.]
"Really? That's great. Let's just kill all these women. Then no one will dare to bark. It'll be over once and for all."
[The above is amazing! If Zhang Quanming really dares to do this, on behalf of my entire family, I support him in continuing to be the leader!]
The man lying on the sofa in the rented apartment posted a reply, picked up the beer bottle at hand, drank it in one gulp, and let out a satisfied burp.
When he thought about those women being treated harshly by the special forces, he couldn't help but feel happy, muttering, "It's time to do this. If we don't teach these women with wrong values a lesson, they will trample on the men."
At this time, his wife walked past him and opened the door. "I'm going out for a while. If you want to eat, use the material machine yourself."
The man immediately sat up straight on the sofa. "It's so chaotic outside now. The streets are under martial law. Where are you going?"
"Just... just taking a walk."
"You don't want to join the parade, do you? You want to divorce me?"
The woman's expression froze, and then she said coldly, "So what if I want a divorce? The government shouldn't deprive women of their right to divorce. That's discrimination!"
She turned and left.
The man was so angry that his hands were shaking. He was worried that he had no place to vent his anger after watching the live broadcast.
He suddenly jumped up from the sofa, pounced on the woman from behind, grabbed her hair, and slammed her head against the wall. "It seems that I am usually too nice to you!"
However, this time the woman did not show weakness and beg for mercy. Instead, she struggled desperately and said in a tough tone, "Let me go! I'm warning you not to let go!"
The man grinned fiercely and exerted force on his hands. "Who do you think you are? You dare to warn me?"
But the next moment, there was a sharp pain in the heart.
He looked down in disbelief, only to see the woman holding a miniature laser gun, the muzzle pointed at his heart.
The man couldn't believe it, "You...why..."
Before he could finish his words, his pupils dilated and his body hit the ground with a dull thud.
"Now, I'm going to join the parade." The woman put away the gun and left the rental house without looking back.
At the same time, Chi Lun was standing on the platform of a warship, looking out at the sea.
The sea was calm, and the breeze blew the loose hair in front of her forehead. The dark eyes under her eyebrows were dark and deep, like flames under a glacier.
It wasn't until she heard footsteps behind her that her expression changed, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "What a beautiful day, President Lan, don't you think?"
"...Ah?" Lan Yingzhang was surprised for a moment. No matter how he thought about it, what happened today was not good, right?
But looking at Chi Qi's calm profile, she didn't know why, but the anxiety in her heart was relieved a lot.
Lan Yingzhang said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhou, you are right. Zhang Quanming has already sent out the laser rifle team."
"Very good, let's act according to the original plan."
