District 9

In the lounge.

Chen Zhongren showed no fear in the face of Qu Feng's gun: "I don't even need to take care of you, do you believe it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the adjutant who came with He Donglai ran into the lounge with a panicked look and stammered: "He... Commander He, phone!"

He Donglai turned around suddenly, and the adjutant handed the phone into his hand.

"Hello?"

"He Donglai, I'm Chen Hai. I'm telling you now, if there are any security issues with the Commander-in-Chief, I would rather bear the name of a bandit than kill your whole family." Chen Hai was firm. Di roared: "You should know in your heart that you have no chance of winning in Nanhu City. You have to bear the blame. Don't hurt innocent people."

"I'm cnm, Chen Hai, you shameless villain," He Donglai said with angry veins on his forehead: "Don't think you will have good results!"

"My two regiments will be at the headquarters soon, you can figure it out yourself!" After Chen Hai said this, he hung up the phone.

He Donglai looked at the phone with a pale face. Before he could react, Chen Zhongqi's adjutant also rushed in and shouted directly: "Meng Xi from Sichuan Mansion, please... let someone call outside the defense area... Mr. Chen If there is any safety problem, Commander, the culprit will be punished."

The room fell silent for an instant, and all the generals headed by Chen Zhongqi understood very well that from the moment the headquarters' military remonstrance failed, everyone had no room to struggle.

Nanhu City is under control. If you kill Chen Zhongren, what problem will you solve? Once the person dies, Chen Jun will be able to break into the headquarters in less than ten minutes. By then, everyone will still be fleeing the disaster, and... family members will definitely be implicated.

Chen Zhongren ignored Qu Feng and just pointed at them and said: "People from the Sichuan government will talk to you about your problems later. I don't want to say more."

After finishing his words, Chen Zhongren turned to look at his biological brother and whispered: "Come out with me and I will have a few words with you alone."

Qu Feng held a gun and shouted at Chen Zhongren's head: "Don't fucking threaten me with your family members. If I'm not good, no one is good!"

Chen Zhongren stretched out his hand and pulled his younger brother hard, then turned his back to Qu Feng and walked out without even looking at him.

Qu Feng's emotions were on the verge of collapse. He gritted his teeth and turned pale as he was about to shoot Chen Zhongren in the leg.

"Snapped!"

Chen Zihui stopped Qu Feng, stared at his eyes and shouted: "Don't be so fucking impulsive!"

"If we don't hold him, we will all die."

"The man is still in our hands, why the hell are you panic?! Let's first listen to what the people in Sichuan say." Chen Zihui grabbed the other party's neck and shouted: "You don't really want Meng Xi to kill your whole family, do you? ? If you are gone, who can protect them? Where can they run to?!"

Qu Feng held the gun with trembling hands, but ultimately did not pull the trigger.

…

In the corridor, Chen Zhongren was silent for a while, then whispered: "...Politically, I have failed, and I am sorry for you generals, but...but I don't want to end up with the same race fighting each other." The end. I can tolerate you, but Xiaojun and Chuanfu will definitely not tolerate you. Second brother, I will let you go...take Xiaofeng...far away."

Chen Zhongqi was stunned when he heard this and looked at his eldest brother in disbelief.

"You were in the house just now, but didn't you put a gun to my head in the end?" Chen Zhongren looked at him and said: "I believe what you said, I believe you just want to remonstrate... Brother, everything is over. "

When Chen Zhongqi heard this, his face was full of tears. He was silent for a long time and said in a hoarse voice: "...You...take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Chen Zhongqi walked away decisively, knowing that this was his only chance to leave.

"Don't go to Lao Zhou's place, they won't grow up, and I can't let you go a second time." Chen Zhongren looked at his back and shouted.

Chen Zhongqi paused, then quickly disappeared along the corridor with the adjutant and others.

Chen Zhongren watched him disappear from his sight, knowing very well that this might be the last time the two brothers saw each other. Regardless of whether Chen Zhongqi went into exile overseas or went to some nook and cranny, they would probably never have the chance to see each other again in this life.

Perhaps it was because Chen Zhongqi had never used the method of crossing the line in the lounge to force Chen Zhongren to leave the field, so the latter felt that the two still had brotherhood, so he let him go.

Or maybe Chen Zhongren has completely given up.

Why let go?

If Chen Zhongren wanted to continue to be the helmsman of the Chen faction and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, then he would not be able to let the rebels leave and leave hidden dangers for himself. Even if you want to set an example and give a warning to others, you will eventually raise the butcher's knife and kill all those who admonished.

But what he did at this moment proved that he had given up, no longer wanted to fight, and no longer wanted to struggle, so he lost the imperial air in his heart, but gained a strong sense of humanity.

He didn't want to see his flesh and blood brothers defeated and died tonight, and he didn't want his nephew to kill his uncle to be played out in front of him.

…

Ten minutes later, Meng Xi led people into the headquarters and met with He Donglai, Chen Zihui, Qu Feng and other rebel generals.

Chen Zhongren sat blankly in the lounge, alone, looking extremely lonely.

"Surrender, you don't have to die; if you continue to fight, you will die." Meng Xi said succinctly, looking at everyone.

"Why should we trust you?" He Donglai asked.

"Do you have any other choice?" Meng Xi stepped in and looked at him: "You don't think that the Sichuan Army will compromise on the Nanhu battlefield because of Commander-in-Chief Chen, do you? If you don't talk about it, we will fight in. Don't say it What you are holding hostage is the political leader of the Chen faction. Whether it was before or after Era, have you ever seen how many ruthless bandits kidnapped hostages and managed to escape in the end?"

Everyone was silent.

"Peacefully liberate Nanhu, you have a reason not to die. But if there is a fight and a lot of casualties are caused, who can protect you?" Meng Xi said again: "...I beg you, give the people and soldiers of Nanhu a way to survive. Well, it can be considered that you, as Chinese, have invisibly supported the Beifengkou battlefield."

The big guy lowered his head and said nothing.

"If you don't believe what I say, then I can ask Commander-in-Chief Qin to speak to you personally." Meng Xi added.

Five minutes later, Qin Yu spoke to Chen Zihui and He Donglai on the phone.

…

Half an hour later.

Chen Zhongren officially called the three regions to announce his resignation. At the same time, the Chen faction announced to the outside world that Chen Jun would accept the position of commander-in-chief.

All the generals of Chen's First Advance Army announced the lifting of military combat status and obeyed Chen Jun's orders.

At this point, the Nanhu Mutiny ended.

Chen Jun led his guard team to the headquarters and met his father.

"...Chen Xi will be handed over to you from now on," Chen Zhongren said calmly: "I will work as an apartment in Sichuan Mansion."

Chen Jun looked at him, speechless.

Chen Zhongren was very clear about his outcome. He could no longer have unlimited personal freedom. An apartment in Sichuan Mansion would be his retirement home for the rest of his life, and this outcome was obtained at the cost of his son's life.

After meeting his father, Chen Jun left the lounge and said to the chief of staff expressionlessly: "He has no place to go. Use all your connections to find him on the waterway."

"knew!"

…

News of Chen Zhongren's resignation spread throughout the three districts.

Xu Hancheng was lying on the bed, his eyes dull and murmured: "Chen Zhongren, Chen Zhongren! You have to trick us before you step down. If you don't want to do this anymore, you should have said it earlier! You should have said it earlier, I Jiujiang will not be lost...!"
