At that moment, gunshots rang out outside.
However, they were all just handguns. Here at Zhongnanhai, handguns are typically the standard weaponry; rifles and submachine guns are not used unless under special circumstances.
"Hmph, Luo Qianshan, you really have some guts to incite a coup!" The Leader glared at Luo Qianshan with anger and said, "But I'm very curious, when exactly did you start placing your own people around me?"
"I don't remember the exact time, but it was probably after that operation. This was all done to prepare for situations like today. Heh, you never imagined this day would come, did you?" Luo Qianshan replied coldly with a smirk.
"I truly didn't expect it. I never thought you would be such a treacherous person. Hmph, Luo Qianshan, even if you've taken control of us now, what can you do? Do you really think you can rule independently?" The Leader's expression darkened as he scoffed.
"Rule independently? That's not a bad idea. As long as I control you, then I alone will dominate Huaxia. Who else can stand in my way?" Luo Qianshan said with a proud smile. "I’m not afraid to tell you that more than half of the people here are mine. If I want to, I can be the Leader!"
"Which bastard is following Luo Qianshan in this coup? Step forward!" Mo Zhentian exclaimed in anger upon hearing this. If he hadn’t been unarmed at the moment, he would have likely shot Luo Qianshan on the spot.
No one dared to step forward and admit it.
Such matters were not something they could easily reveal themselves in. Everyone present was clever; many bones lie beneath a general's success, and outcomes are unpredictable. While it seemed that Luo Qianshan had the upper hand now, who could truly laugh last? Who could be certain?
"Mo Zhentian, stop being so arrogant. This place is under my command now. If you dare to talk back again, I won’t hesitate to let you have a bullet!" Luo Qianshan pulled a handgun from one of his bodyguards and aimed it at Mo Zhentian, casually disengaging the safety.
Mo Zhentian glared and shouted angrily, "Damn it! Luo Qianshan, you bastard! Do you think I've been idle all these years? Do you think I'm afraid of dying? If you've got the guts, just shoot me!"
In such a situation, the likelihood of Luo Qianshan firing was extremely high. However, Mo Zhentian's temper flared; he didn’t care whether Luo Qianshan would actually pull the trigger and stood his ground defiantly.
After hearing Mo Zhentian's words, the Leader was somewhat shocked. He genuinely worried that Luo Qianshan might shoot Mo Zhentian dead. But now that the words had been spoken, there was no way to stop it.
"Mo Zhentian, I know you're hot-headed, but you're being foolish. You can't read the room; saying such things at this moment is just idiotic. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to shoot you?" A sinister smile curled on Luo Qianshan's lips.
As he prepared to fire...
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Mo Zhentian held his neck stiffly, showing no intention of retreating.
Just as Luo Qianshan was about to pull the trigger.
The gunfire outside became even more intense.
"What’s going on?" Luo Qianshan's attention momentarily shifted. He raised an eyebrow and looked at a bodyguard, saying, "Aren't you all only using handguns? Why is there the sound of rifles?"
"I... I don't know, General Luo. We wouldn't be equipped with rifles under normal circumstances. Today, we only brought handguns..." the bodyguard replied with a bitter smile.
"This is bad, we've fallen into a trap!" When Luo Qianshan came back to his senses, he quickly aimed his gun at the Leader, anger evident on his face. "I really underestimated you. I didn't expect that while the mantis stalks the cicada, there's a yellow sparrow behind it, and behind the yellow sparrow, there's a hunter!"
"Luo Qianshan, how could I afford to be careless against someone like you? In fact, we already knew about the people you arranged here last night. However, to lure you here, I pretended not to understand!" The Leader showed no fear in front of the gun.
"But you've still miscalculated. Now that you're in my hands, even if you're prepared, what can you do?" Luo Qianshan stepped closer to the Leader and pressed the gun barrel against his head. "All I have to do is lightly pull the trigger, and even the King of Heaven can't save you!"
"I didn't anticipate that apart from Captain Liang Qiurong, everyone here has been bought off by you. This was something I didn't foresee. But even if I'm in your hands, so what? Can you leave here?" The Leader said firmly.
Originally, the plan was quite good; the Leader had briefed Mo Ming and Huang Zifeng about it. However, it seemed that Mo Ming and Huang Zifeng had been detained and couldn't arrive in time.
"I can tell you that before I came here, I had someone deal with those two brats Mo Ming and Huang Zifeng. I don't know what the situation outside is like now, but as long as you're in my hands, what can they do to me?" Luo Qianshan sneered coldly.
"Even if you can leave here, what will you do? You are a traitor; you've betrayed your country and everyone else. There is no place for you in this world anymore. Luo Qianshan, it's better for you to surrender!" The Leader sighed heavily. Luo Qianshan had once been a good general; seeing him reduced to this state was not what he wanted.
"Hahaha! As long as I can leave here, what can you do to me?" Luo Qianshan laughed arrogantly. "The world is vast; there’s nowhere that I cannot find refuge. Besides, capturing me is impossible!"
The gunfire outside ceased.
Moments later, Mo Ming and Huang Zifeng rushed in with rifles. Just as a Zhongnanhai bodyguard attempted to fire, a bullet shot out from Mo Ming's rifle, hitting him squarely in the forehead.
"Don't move! Otherwise, I'll show you what a hornet's nest feels like!" Huang Zifeng aimed his gun at the bodyguards in the conference room, while Mo Ming's cold gaze fixed on Luo Qianshan. A surge of anger welled up inside him as he shouted, "Luo Qianshan!"
"Heh, do you think your gun is faster than mine?" Luo Qianshan sneered. "I don't have time for your nonsense. Let me go, or I'll take him down with me. If you try any tricks, I'll shoot him immediately!"
With the Leader in Luo Qianshan's hands, Mo Ming dared not act recklessly. Although he was filled with rage, he could not afford to act impulsively; if his actions endangered the Leader's life, it would be a grave mistake. He had to endure.
"Luo Qianshan, what do you want?" Mo Zhentian demanded.
"I already said it: let me leave here. If you let me go, I'll release him. Otherwise, we can all die together. I, Luo Qianshan, am not afraid!" Despite his desire to live, Luo Qianshan saw no way out and was willing to gamble with the Leader's life as leverage.
"Fine! Let's die together then!"
The Leader was not one to fear death; he immediately tried to grab Luo Qianshan's gun to pull the trigger. After all, he understood that if he did not make a stand, Mo Zhentian and the others would likely let Luo Qianshan go out of concern for his safety. With Luo Qianshan's power, if he truly escaped from here, it would lead to chaos in Huaxia.
However, Luo Qianshan reacted swiftly, shifting his gun and delivering a brutal blow to the Leader's neck, knocking him unconscious.
"You have a few minutes to decide: will you let me leave or will we perish together?" Luo Qianshan held the Leader's body as a shield, exposing only his head.
"No need to think about it. I understand the Leader's intentions clearly; he would rather die with you than let you leave here. Luo Qianshan, you'd better surrender. If you do so, we might just keep you under house arrest for life. But if you dare harm the Leader, you'll die!" Mo Zhentian stated firmly.
Last night, the Leader had repeatedly instructed him that no matter what happened, Luo Qianshan must not leave alive!
This shows that the Leader is a great leader who is willing to sacrifice himself for his country and people; even if it costs him his life, he does not want Huaxia to face any crisis!
“Mo Zhentian, this is your meaning, not Leader's meaning. Hmph, if Leader truly perishes with me, wouldn't you then be able to naturally take over as Leader?” Luo Qianshan shouted angrily, surprised that Mo Zhentian would say such a thing.
“Luo Qianshan, stop spreading falsehoods here. Old Mo's meaning is indeed Leader's meaning. Today, you cannot leave here no matter what. However, if you are willing to release Leader, we can grant you life imprisonment and will not kill you!” At this moment, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked in.
This person was none other than Mo Ming's master, the Grim Reaper!
“Grim Reaper? When did you arrive?” Luo Qianshan frowned at the Grim Reaper, seemingly understanding something, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. “I really didn't expect that Leader would bring you here as well. This was my mistake; I didn't think he would prepare so much. I shouldn't have come here!”
“You indeed should not have come here, nor should you have betrayed your country. Luo Qianshan, you are already isolated and abandoned. If you do not want to be remembered in infamy for eternity, it is not too late to release Leader!” the Grim Reaper said solemnly.
“Remembered in infamy for eternity?” Luo Qianshan laughed heartily. “At this point, there’s no need for you to deceive me with such words. Having come this far, I have no chance of turning back. However, with Leader accompanying me to death, I don't consider it too great a loss!”
“Luo Qianshan, I can see that you do not truly wish to die!” Mo Ming said. “How about we make a deal?”
“Oh? What kind of deal? Tell me about it,” Luo Qianshan asked with interest.
“We will fight one-on-one. If you win against me, we will let you go. If you lose, then I'm sorry; I will personally end your life!” Mo Ming said with a mocking smile. “You’re not afraid, are you? This is your only chance. If you insist on perishing with Leader, then I will have no choice but to act.”
“I'll give you one minute to consider it. Think carefully before telling me. Alright, the countdown begins! 59, 58, 57…” The curve of Mo Ming's lips changed to one of wickedness as he did something that made everyone panic; he raised his gun and aimed it at Leader's head!
