Chapter 1008 Chief Leader Number One

her end of the line: "Boss, Li Minghao has said that he... he doesn't want to see you."..."Brother, are you sure you're ready to give up cooperation with Jindragon Group Could something bad happen as...Chapter 1008 Chief Leader Number One

Hé Yán shook his head, "Although this problem seems unsolvable on the surface, the Chinese government has no choice but to act. This time, regardless of what happens, top-level leaders will not yield; they would never do something as foolish as trading one citizen for forty others. Otherwise, how could a country that can't even protect its own citizens face other nations However, I advise you not to take this lightly, even though this statement shifts all the pressure onto the Chinese government, ultimately it's still your responsibility."

If the Chinese government were to make a decision involving one person for forty others, it would face extensive criticism from the international community, causing its reputation to plummet. It would be as if terrorists had held an entire government hostage. Yet, if China ignored this situation and forcefully deployed troops, it could result in even greater losses for the country.

A dilemma!

"That guy was playing tricks behind the scenes, and he has now thoroughly infuriated the government. The outcome of today's events is likely something he didn't anticipate." Just thinking about that masked man caused Wang Zheng's eyes to emit a cold glint; too many members of the Dragon Scale team had lost their lives due to his sniper rifle, and he could kill him ten thousand times over.

Wang Zheng left in such haste that he couldn't bid farewell to Shīshī Shàngguān or Qiōng Jiāng face-to-face. He only sent a message before boarding the flight bound for China's capital city.

The three-and-a-half-hour journey felt incredibly long to Wang Zheng, as his phone was unable to make calls while in the air, and he feared that something bad might happen to those forty-plus hostages during this period.

"Worrying won't help; what needs to happen will happen. What doesn't need to happen won't." Hé Yán seemed to be stating an obvious fact but continued: "Arló should know that these forty people are being used as leverage against you, so he wouldn't do anything endangering their lives."

"Endangering their lives is unlikely, but I'm worried about our female compatriots..." Wang Zheng didn't finish his sentence, yet the message was clear.

The terrorists in Ashirmer had all reached the point of being extremely ruthless. Having been stuck in the desert for so long and rarely seeing women, Chinese girls would definitely be seen as fairies to them. Especially for Li Yiran's film crew; the actresses' beauty could easily trigger their most primitive and instinctive desires. Even if Alar哥 could control himself, could his subordinates also do so

Thinking about this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel worried for Li Yiran, who was known as "the national daughter-in-law" and the queen of Chinese TV dramas. Her fame had even reached Africa; during one of China's top leaders' visits to Africa, he specifically mentioned Li Yiran's lead role in a drama.

With such a loud reputation, Wang Zheng estimated that Ashirmer's terrorists would have heard of Li Yiran’s name too. If these people recognized her among the hostages, they might go crazy with excitement; due to men's desire for conquest, they might even risk their lives just to be intimate with Li Yiran.

There was no doubt that Li Yiran was now in the most dangerous situation among the hostages because compared to others, she shone too brightly and brilliantly.

"No matter what happens, Alar哥 has walked straight into a trap this time. He's as good as dead," said He Yan with hatred.

This time around, when Alar哥 wanted Wang Zheng's life, he had overlooked one thing: When Ashirmer took 40-plus hostages to threaten the Chinese government, they had thoroughly provoked this sleeping eastern lion!

The moment Wang Zheng and He Yan’s plane landed at Beijing Airport, a military helicopter nearby started spinning its propellers. As soon as He Yan and Wang Zheng got off the plane, they were led straight into that helicopter.

Now, time was life.

The helicopter flew over the city and landed on the rooftop helipad of the National Security Bureau headquarters building. When Wang Zheng and He Yan stepped out of the helicopter, Li Xiaoxiao greeted them. Putting away his usual nonchalant smile, he led He Yan and Wang Zheng straight to the central elevator.

After entering the elevator and escaping from the disturbing noise of the helicopter's rotors, He Yan asked in a solemn voice: "How is the current situation"

Li Xiaoxiao pressed the floor number for the conference room and then whispered, "Top Leader Number One is waiting for you."

"Top Leader Number One also came" He Yan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Top Leader Number One to personally come all the way from Zhongnanhai.

"At a time like this, he should always be here," Wang Zheng seemed unsurprised. Although Top Leader Number One stood at the very top of China's political pyramid and handled countless affairs every day, in situations like these, he had to stand up—firmly.

In the first conference room of the State Security Department, a group of elderly men in black jackets or military uniforms sat around the table. If there were any reporters present, they would be shocked into screaming! A gathering of people who stood at the pinnacle of China's political arena and held control over national affairs—people whose mere footsteps could shake the entire country!

Those elderly men in military uniforms were all three-star generals of the People’s Liberation Army of the Republic of China!

Zhang Pingxuan, deputy minister of the State Security Department, was quite a figure in his own right but sat at the very end of the conference table amidst such company.

These elderly men sat silently without uttering a word. It wasn't clear how long they had been sitting there.

At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and He Yan and Wang Zheng rushed in.

Heg Yan only knew that the Number One Cadre had come, but he didn't expect so many big shots to be present at the same time. He was momentarily stunned and then whispered softly, "Chairman, I arrived late."

The Number One Cadre nodded. Heg Yan quickly walked over to his seat and sat down. Among all these big shots, there was also a place reserved for him. Moreover, as long as Heg Yan wanted it, this small territory would continue to expand!

"Greetings, Comrade Leader."

Wang Zheng didn't choose the same address as Heg Yan when he saw the Number One Cadre; instead, his body straightened like a spear and he gave the Number One Cadre a military salute!

Since returning to the capital, Wang Zheng had given no more than five military salutes. Now, performing this action that was once almost instinctive felt both familiar and strange.

This year, the Number One Cadre was already sixty-three years old, with a slim build and eyes sharp as swords, seemingly able to pierce through one's soul. Elderly people of his age possessing such piercing gaze were rather uncommon. He walked up to Wang Zheng, scrutinizing him carefully for a moment, as if he wanted to see what kind of person this young man was whom the terrorist organization had gone to great lengths to kill.

He observed for a minute, and Wang Zheng remained silent for a minute. Then, the Number One Cadre extended his right hand and gave Wang Zheng's shoulder a firm pat!

The big shots present were deeply shaken by this action of the Number One Cadre!
