The Military Queen
Chapter 264 - 151: Chaos (Part 2)
CHAPTER 264: CHAPTER 151: CHAOS (PART 2)
The Octagonal Building is the major stronghold of Hua Country’s military forces; any problem there would bring catastrophic consequences.
"Ding Han, you old fool... Wuyue... traitor... you’re lucky..." Ji Shanshan laughed loudly, showing what kind of smile can be shown by a face without facial features, which was terrifying just to look at. Only by hearing her laughter did you know she was actually laughing.
Ding Ling and Wei Ruqin and the like dared not look directly at the screen, afraid that the sight of that face would soil their eyes.
"Guys... hold on a little longer... tonight I... have only completed... half..." Ji Shanshan signaled to the masked men. The dozen or so snipers all gathered around Simon. Over the past month, these people, who were seen as hooligans and scoundrels by the outside world, had trained and were now as orderly as soldiers.
"Happy Birthday... Ling," Ji Shanshan’s tone changed. This was the real purpose of arranging people to enter Ding’s Mansion. As long as she was present, as long as she could hear her own birthday wishes.
Tears shimmered in her still beautiful eyes. She originally could have escaped quietly, but she still chose to make a big scene, even risking the capture of her own men, letting more than ten people break into Ding’s Mansion, even though she knew that killing Ding Han was impossible.
Wuyue furrowed her brows tighter, everyone’s attention focused on that ugly and bizarre face.
After finishing the blessings, Ji Shanshan’s eyes became fierce again, "I... will not... let you go... Withdraw...", the video on the laptop went dark, and aside from the dripping sound that continued to echo, the dozen or so marksmen fluidly withdrew.
Rand’s soldiers dared not make a move, fearing any slight disturbance would prompt that crazy woman to trigger the bomb device.
Simon was the last to leave, hesitantly retracting his sniper rifle.
"Shua" swiftly, Wuyue with astonishing speed intercepted Simon, her hand wielding a military combat knife about to stab into Simon’s waist. Few present could predict Wuyue’s reaction, nor could they imagine a female Major responsible for public relations tasks could demonstrate such skills.
Luckily for Simon, his response was also quick; having learnt some fighting skills while desperately fighting in street alleys, his gun hand swept down, aiming at Wuyue’s knife, producing a dull clang of metal striking metal.
Xia You heard some movement behind her. Ding Han had already drawn his sidearm, aiming at Simon and Wuyue, who were grappling.
"Boom," the bomb exploded loudly, the laptop abandoned on the lawn blasted apart, screams filled the area.
"CAO," Wuyue cursed in rage, thinking Ji Shanshan had only planted anti-explosive devices in the Octagonal Building; unexpectedly, these intruders also carried powerful computer bombs, and Simon took advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Full martial law, check if there are any other explosive devices in the area," Lu Xun ordered. Lin Yi quickly evacuated the crowd.
Wuyue spun back unceremoniously snatching Ding Han’s sidearm, aiming at the barely visible figure of Simon not far away, but several guests darted in front of her, blocking her view.
Xia You seized the opportunity to say, "Major Wuyue, don’t shoot blindly, what if you accidentally injure a guest?"
"Move aside, don’t think I can’t tell, you’re in cahoots with them," Wuyue, adept at reading people, noticed Simon hesitated when he saw Xia You shielded by Brigadier General Ding, the nervousness in his eyes didn’t escape Wuyue’s notice.
"Major, everything needs evidence, if I knew those people, I could have just hidden in the bushes and stayed quiet," Xia You didn’t understand why Simon wanted to kill Brigade General Ding nor when he teamed up with that woman from prison. She also believed no one present could recognize that masked man was Simon. In fact, even Yu Xiaonan, who had once met Simon, couldn’t link the markedly changed hair and skills of the two individuals.
Wuyue glared at Xia You angrily, not expecting that an amnesiac Ding Ling could have such a major impact on Ji Shanshan. The long-despairing Ji Shanshan not only regained her instincts but also quickly conspired with her accomplices. All the people from G8 were dead, who then rescued Ji Shanshan?
There was only one answer, that is, "Xia You" was always pretending to be foolish. She absolutely couldn’t be deceived by the amnesia-pretending "Ding Ling".
"Major Wuyue, please put down your gun," Lin Yi stepped forward, everyone had seen Xia You risking herself to save Ding Han earlier.
"Wuyue, immediately carry out damage control, leave the investigation to the members of the Armed Department," Ding Han had a false alarm but the savvy man immediately thought that now was not the time for accountability. Tonight, in order to promote the Alliance Friendly Meeting, some media tycoons were invited. Having a bomb in the military region and the escape of a major criminal could not be leaked. What Wuyue needed to do now was not an investigation.
"That’s right, I just saw a few media reporters secretly taking pictures," Lu Yimo picked up the neglected cake, cherry brandy oozed under the cream, blood-like in color. He winked at Xia You, taking Xiu Na and the others away.
Wuyue put away her gun, as the Brigadier General said, she had more important tasks at hand. Ji Shanshan had escaped, but with a ghostly face like that, she could only hide in dark places.
"Ru Qin... what’s the matter with you," Ding Han exclaimed, as it turned out Wei Ruqin couldn’t hold on after the crowd dispersed, fainting.
