Chapter 248 Found
It’s Secretary-General Lu Lin.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I thought you had already evacuated with the ministers!" He was surprised and quickly helped Zhang Quanming up and ran forward with him.
Zhang Quanming struggled to raise his head and looked around. He saw panicked people fleeing in all directions, rushing towards the subway station. To his shock, a fully armed police officer had actually stripped off his uniform, discarded his weapon, and disguised himself as a civilian, escaping among the crowd.
He frowned. Damn, what a bunch of cowards! No wonder he couldn't even find a security guard. They all ran faster than rabbits!
I was cursing in my heart when the sharp roar of an engine suddenly sounded behind me.
He turned his head and his bloodshot eyes suddenly widened.
Six gray-black fighter jets flew over the Capitol building and dropped several more bombs. The Capitol building, which had already collapsed by half, collapsed completely. Flames burned fiercely and thick smoke rolled up into the sky.
Zhang Quanming couldn't believe it, "How could this happen?"
When exactly did these six fighter planes break through Imperial airspace? How could the air defense base's radar have no warning?
"Chief, we have to leave here quickly!" The Secretary-General's anxious voice brought him back to his senses.
Zhang Quanming nodded. The most important thing right now was to survive. The Sky Dome Group and the Feminist Party’s attempt to overthrow the regime could be dealt with later.
He endured the pain, fled to the nearest shelter, hid his body inside, and was able to catch his breath for a while.
But he was still tense and carefully stuck his head out, only to see that the fighter planes were still circling in the sky, like female eagles looking for prey, and would launch a fatal attack once they locked onto the target.
Zhang Quanming had a hunch that these people were looking for him.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, a fighter plane suddenly dived towards him. Zhang Quanmin was so scared that he held his breath and dared not even breathe.
Fortunately, the fighter plane did not seem to have discovered his trace. It roared, climbed to a higher altitude, turned around and flew away.
Zhang Quanmin's tense body suddenly softened, as if all the strength had been drained away, and he collapsed to the ground.
The secretary general on the side held the communicator tightly and repeatedly called the special service department, but there was no response.
He suppressed his fear and turned to Zhang Quanming, saying, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. The Secret Service will surely find us soon."
Zhang Quanming's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's better. Otherwise, they can forget about it. Get out of here!"
Just as he finished speaking, a surprised female voice came from behind him, "Found it, here it is!"
Zhang Quanming was surprised for a moment. How could they arrive so quickly? Then he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's safe now."
The Secretary General then felt relieved and stepped forward to help Zhang Quanming's battered body up. "Your Excellency, your injuries are too serious. You must receive treatment immediately."
Zhang Quanmin used the force to steady himself, "Okay, let's notify the medical team first."
As he spoke, he walked out of the bunker. "Also, quickly contact the Investigation Bureau and have a thorough investigation of the Sky Group and the Women's Rights Party. Since they dared to collude with me to rebel, don't blame me for killing them all. That Zhu Yun must die..."
The voice suddenly stopped.
Outside the bunker, a pitch-black drone hovered low in the sky like a ghost, its camera emitting a dangerous red light, like the bloodthirsty eyes of a beast.
Behind the drones, a dense mass of people wielded laser rifles, the cold moonlight illuminating the deep hatred in their eyes. Zhu Yun, the leader, held an even colder gaze, but it wasn't hatred; it was a kind of contempt, like looking at an insect.
She walked slowly forward, her voice icy, "It's truly remarkable that our distinguished leader has finally found the heart to emerge from the Capitol. So, regarding the use of missiles to suppress the protesters, shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"
Zhang Quanming's face turned pale as he recalled the man who was shot to death by Zhu Yun with fifteen shots. His cheeks twitched involuntarily due to fear.
He forced a smile, "This, this... this is all a misunderstanding. It wasn't my idea to launch the missiles. That was an order from the Minister of the Military!"
As he spoke, he quickly thought of a way to escape and said with a tentative smile, "How about we sit down and have a good talk? You want the freedom to divorce and want to improve women's rights. These are all negotiable. There's no need to call for violence. Violence can't solve problems. Chairman Zhu, don't you agree?"
Zhu Yun stared at him. "Okay, go talk to your two ex-wives and the women who died from domestic violence. They should really want to have a good talk with you."
I really didn't expect that even after it had fallen to this point, this man had no intention of repenting, but instead tried to use the politicians' negotiation tactics on her.
Zhu Yun couldn't help laughing in his heart. Did he think he still had bargaining chips with them?
Zhu Yun originally thought that after escaping death from the missiles, everyone would definitely not want to continue protesting. However, he did not expect that after seeing the special forces being wiped out by drones, everyone's passion for revenge was rekindled. Even those who had originally shouted that they wanted to go home changed their attitude and insisted on an explanation from the government.
So, with the drone paving the way, everyone walked to the Capitol building with high spirits. There was no obstruction along the way and no one dared to stop them.
But what Zhu Yun didn't expect was that before they could reach the Capitol building, it was blown into fireworks.
This would have been a good thing, but the staff who escaped told them that no one here could be held responsible for the missile incident because the leaders and ministers who could be held responsible had already fled.
Zhu Yun was very disappointed. They had finally reached the Capitol building, but in the end they didn't even see the shadow of Zhang Quanming. It was too frustrating.
Just then, a drone left the queue and flew towards the nearest building.
Zhu Yun followed out of curiosity and discovered Zhang Quanming's hiding place.
Now, it's time to settle accounts with him.
Zhu Yun stopped and pulled out his gun, pressing it against Zhang Quanmin's forehead. "Blood debt must be repaid with blood. If you confess your crimes truthfully, I can make your death more painless."
Zhang Quanming immediately looked for help at the secretary-general beside him, but he fell to his knees with a plop. "I know all the dirty things Zhang Quanming did. If you can spare my life, I'll be a witness and expose him!"
"Bitch! Have you forgotten who promoted you in the first place?" Zhang Quanmin was so angry that his facial features were distorted.
"Shut up!" the secretary general shouted angrily, then looked at Zhu Yun earnestly and pleaded in a low voice, "Please, Zhang Quanming has done so many evil things that he deserves death. I knew nothing at first. I was deceived by him!"
He knew very well that in the current situation, the only way to survive was to surrender voluntarily. If he waited for them to interrogate him, he would surely die.
Zhang Quanming finally realized that the secretary-general's loyalty to him was simply because he could gain benefits from him. But if he died, the benefits would vanish, and the loyalty would naturally vanish.
In that case, he might as well do what they say first. Maybe there will be a turning point later. After all, he is the head of the empire, and they don't dare to really kill him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Quanming suppressed the anger on his face and was about to beg for mercy when he suddenly saw Lan Yan standing in the crowd, looking at him indifferently, as if he was a stranger to her.
Zhang Quanmin refused to believe it, tears welling in his eyes as he asked, "Lan Yan, are you really so heartless? Even if I die in front of you, you will remain indifferent?"
Lan Yan turned his head away and said coldly, "I have already divorced you. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with me."
In fact, Lan Yan experienced life and death several times that day, and she did not hesitate and regret it at all. But the final result proved that she had done nothing wrong.
"Besides, when you were about to launch the missile, didn't you care about my life or death?"
Zhang Quanming was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Yun sneered and was about to say something else when the fighter planes circling above the Capitol building seemed to notice the movement here and suddenly turned and flew over.
Everyone immediately became alert. Although these fighter planes bombed the Capitol building, they could not be 100% sure that they were friends and not enemies.
Unexpectedly, the fighter plane lowered its altitude and turned into a hovering state. The rear door of the cabin opened, and a figure jumped down from above. The next moment, the parachute opened in the air.
The man landed smoothly, untied the parachute rope, and walked towards the crowd.
Wang Chun was the first to shout, "Sister Lan!"
Lan Yingzhang nodded to her, then turned to Zhu Yun. "Chairman Zhu, Chairman Zhou asked me to tell you that the Empire's armed forces are under our control. Therefore, whatever you want to do with Zhang Quanming is fine."
Zhu Yun widened his eyes in disbelief.
Zhang Quanming's pupils trembled, and he suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground, saying in a trembling voice, "No! This is impossible!"
Zhu Yun came back to his senses and stopped talking nonsense with him. He turned to look at his subordinate beside him. The subordinate immediately understood and stepped forward to drag Zhang Quanming up.
Zhu Yun turned and left, "Zhang Quanmin, go and apologize to the people of the empire!"

Tonight, no one is destined to sleep.
Before people had finished eating the gossip about the leader's divorce, the news of the bombing of the Capitol building quickly made headlines. One major event after another made the people of the empire numb.
[Oh my god, I woke up and the Capitol was bombed? Is the next step going to tell me that the leader was assassinated?]
That was truly witnessing history.
Is it true that all of this was done by the Feminist Party? They really do a lot of great things quietly.
[The question is about the fight between the ruling party and the opposition party, and has nothing to do with ordinary people like us.]
How can it be irrelevant? I don't want to see a feminist party come to power. If that happens, the government and courts will be entirely staffed by people of the opposite gender. How can there still be fairness?
[That's right, false accusations are already rampant. If Zhu Yun, that extreme misogynist, were to take power, men would have no place to defend themselves.]
[The bottom line is, you men are just afraid. A man of integrity has nothing to fear. What good person would worry about being sued all the time?]
[No, you women are actually popping champagne midway through the journey. Do you really think the Imperial Army is a vegetarian? It's still unclear who will win or lose. Just wait and see!]
It was already early morning, and the netizens in the live broadcast room had red eyes from staying up late, but they still stayed online, waiting for the final outcome.
Finally, Zhu Yun’s figure appeared in the live broadcast of the Capitol Building.
