Chapter 1,398 Clouds of War
1398
War enveloped the entire city.
Even though he was inside the police station, he could still hear the constant sound of gunfire outside.
The stubborn resistance of the government forces made it difficult for the rebels. These rebels suddenly appeared like mushrooms after a rain. At first, the rebels caught the government forces off guard, but after the government forces recovered, the rebels Not so smoothly.
Houses collapsed one after another amidst the sound of artillery fire, and the people in these houses were buried in bricks and bricks amidst screams and screams.
The beautiful port city of Ailanke was constantly being destroyed by artillery fire.
Soldiers died one after another, innocent people died one after another.
For those in power, dead soldiers and innocent people are just numbers. They cold-bloodedly command their men to use various weapons of mass destruction. All roads and ports out of the city are blocked, and people can only Hiding helplessly at home, praying that shells will not fall on your home, and praying that your neighborhood will not become a war zone.
In the police station, the bodies of Rini and Luo Juan trembled with each violent explosion.
Although Xu Taiping said that a military coup would occur, they did not expect that when the military coup actually came, it would be so shocking.
Xu Taiping sat on the chair with a calm expression.
At this time, the handcuffs on Luo Juan's hands had been removed. Although she was injured, she was still walking around the interrogation room restlessly.
"How can you be so calm?" Rini looked at Xu Taiping and couldn't help but ask.
"Is there anything that can make me upset?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There's a war going on outside. Do you know about the war? The nearest explosion to us just now was only a dozen meters away, right? Aren't you worried that a shell will suddenly fall on us?" Rini asked.
"We are a police station here, and it can be regarded as an armed force after all. The people in the police station have not gone out. It can be seen from this that the police station seems to be still in a neutral state, at least as far as the government forces are concerned, so , there is no one who would not want to shoot here, understand?" Xu Taiping said.
"That's what I say, but is there any chance that someone will deflect the cannonball?" Rini asked.
"On the battlefield, life and death matter. If you don't die, a cannonball will fall at your feet. It will be a dumb bomb. You should die. If the cannonball explodes a hundred meters away from you, the fragments will blow your head. So, don’t think too much and just wait with peace of mind." Xu Taiping said.
"It seems that as you said, you are from China's national security department!" Luo Juan said.
"I won't lie." Xu Taiping said.
"Did Xinyue and the others really go to sea?" Luo Juan asked.
"Well, judging from the time, they should have reached the high seas before the port blockade. Now the rebel navy is all focused on blockading the port, so they will not go to the high seas to arrest people. Don't worry. Yes!" Xu Taiping said.
"That's good!" Luo Juan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as Xinyue is fine, I'll be relieved."
While he was talking, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly opened from the outside.
A policeman came in from outside with a satellite phone.
"You, make a call." The policeman handed the satellite phone to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping nodded, took the satellite phone, and called Chen Yitong. He simply asked Chen Yitong to help him raise money. Xu Taiping specifically told him to raise it within three days.
For Chen Yitong, he can raise 20 million US dollars in minutes. Xu Taiping specifically stated that within three days, which is equivalent to telling Chen Yitong not to be too anxious to raise the money and try to delay it until the end of the third day. time, and Chen Yitong knew Xu Taiping's physical condition. Three days later, Xu Taiping's physical condition was almost back to its peak. By then, no one in Ailanke could keep Xu Taiping.
Time passed little by little, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
Under the night sky, the entire city is constantly flashing with the fire of artillery shells. If you can only hear the sound during the day, then it is definitely a feast of fireworks at night.
There were fires everywhere and explosions one after another. The whole city was like a Chinese city celebrating the Spring Festival. Of course, unlike every household celebrating the Spring Festival with joy, the people of Ailanke were not happy!
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed hard from the outside, and then groups of soldiers with live ammunition rushed in from the door.
As soon as he saw these soldiers, Xu Taiping realized that something was wrong.
"Let's go!" One of the officers pointed his gun at Xu Taiping and others and said coldly.
"Where are you going, Master Jun?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Just leave if I tell you. Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's okay if you don't want to leave. I'll kill you right now." The officer said coldly.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right away!" Xu Taiping nodded repeatedly.
Later, Xu Taiping, Luo Juan, and Rini walked out of the interrogation room under the escort of armed soldiers.
Outside the interrogation room, the director's face was not very good-looking. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with these soldiers, but he did not dare to say anything.
"Director, you lied to me again!" Xu Taiping shouted before leaving.
The director's face darkened and he shouted, "What are you talking about? I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Director, what did you lie to this Chinese man?" The officer's attention was successfully attracted by Xu Taiping's words.
"Nothing, nothing." The director shook his head repeatedly.
"Director, you first took five million U.S. dollars from me, and then asked me to give you another 20 million U.S. dollars, saying you wanted to let me go. But now you have handed us over to the military. You still say it's nothing?" Xu Taiping shouted.
"You bastard, shut up!" the director scolded.
"Director, I hope you will explain this matter to the chief in person." The officer said coldly, and then asked people to escort Xu Taiping and others into the car.
Several armored vehicles directly carried Xu Taiping and the others away.
"Asshole, this Chinese!" The director was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about Xu Taiping. After all, Xu Taiping had been taken away by the rebels.
"These bastards, someone leaked the secret, bastard, don't let me find out who it is!" The director looked at the police station behind him and said through gritted teeth.
It is obvious that only the people in the police station knew about Xu Taiping, a Chinese man, in the police station. He had already issued a hush order. As a result, these soldiers asked the Chinese people when they opened their mouths tonight. This was not a leak by one of his men. Could it be that the Chinese themselves told those rebels?
Xu Taiping and the others were escorted by armored vehicles directly to the area of Ailanke where the fighting was currently the most intense.
Two-thirds of Alaink has now fallen into the hands of the rebels, and the remaining one-third is probably around the presidential palace.
The President's Guards established a final line of defense there.
Xu Taiping and others were sitting in the car, and gunshots and cannons were heard continuously outside.
Luo Juan and Lini looked pale. They had no idea what kind of future would greet them next.
The car suddenly stopped, and then the door opened. Several soldiers jumped on the car, and then pushed Xu Taiping and others from the back of the car.
Xu Taiping got out of the car, looked around and found that he was in a stronghold, surrounded by groups of soldiers.
Several soldiers escorted Xu Taiping and the others to a nearby bank that had been emptied. Later, Xu Taiping and the others were taken directly to the bank's underground vault.
The underground vault of this bank had long been emptied, leaving only a large and empty vault.
Xu Taiping and others were imprisoned in the vault. No one came, and of course, they couldn't leave.
"No matter what happens, you just insist that you are my subordinates. You will only do things when you receive my orders. Without my orders, you will live like ordinary people. It just so happens that you He often travels between China and Xenia, so this makes perfect sense." Xu Taiping whispered to Luo Juan and Rini.
Luo Juan and Rini looked at each other, and then Luo Juan asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I have China behind me. If you work for me, it means you have China behind you. This can save your life." Xu Taiping said.
Luo Juan and Lini suddenly realized it.
In Ailanke, the most worthless thing at this time is the life of a native of Xenia, and if you have a foreign background, it may actually be worth something.
"No matter what, all we have to do is save our lives, don't worry about other things!" Xu Taiping said.
"Understood!" Luo Juan and Rini nodded.
About half an hour later, the door to the vault was opened, and an officer and several soldiers came in from the outside.
"Introduce yourself, I am General Feipei's secretary, and my name is Mengla Liduo." The officer introduced himself with a smile.
"Mr. Mengla Liduo, we are just ordinary people. I wonder why you arrested us?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Ordinary people? Would ordinary people know in advance that we are going to have a military coup?" Mengla Liduo looked at Luo Juan and said with a smile.
Luo Juan said with a pale face, "This, this is just an accident."
"I won't say more. Although I found out that Luo Juan and Lini are just ordinary citizens of Ailanke, considering that you often travel to and from China, and the Chinese beside you, we have reason to believe , you two should have become informants of the Chinese Intelligence Organization, and this gentleman may be your top line, right? Otherwise, he would not have gone to the police station specifically for Miss Luo Juan." Mengla Liduo said.
Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mengla Liduo's words. He was worried that Luo Juan and the others didn't know how to disguise. Unexpectedly, Mengla Liduo identified their identities in advance, which saved a lot of effort.
