Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Xu Chaoqi’s idea was very simple, which was to make the facts clear and then convince Tang Jian.

What Tang Xiaolei did has already violated the law, and it is a very serious act. If he is rescued, then based on the principle of severe punishment, his life will be ruined. At that time, it will not only be that, but Tang Jian, as Tang Xiaolei's father, will also have an unshirkable responsibility.

On the contrary, if Tang Xiaolei died, based on the principle that the dead are the greatest, the organization would naturally not pursue anything, and Tang Jian would be safe.

One way is to protect a half-dead son, and the father will also be implicated. The other is to gain the reputation of destroying the Qing Dynasty for the sake of justice. These two options are placed in front of Tang Jian.

If we only consider the benefits, it should be more advantageous to choose the latter. After all, even if Tang Xiaolei survives, his life will be over. So, no matter what choice he makes, Xu Chaoqi believes that Tang Jian will know how to make it.

The rational Tang Jian naturally knew what to do, but now he no longer considered too many issues. He did not care about the future, prospects, and interests. All he wanted in his heart was that his son could survive, or at least die a hundred years after him. He did not want to see his son die before him.

"No, I have to keep my son safe. For this, even if the organization punishes me, I will accept it. Please find a way, Secretary Xu." Tang Jian made a choice directly, and chose a direction that Xu Chaoqi did not want.

"Secretary Tang, you should think twice." Zheng Qinghe said anxiously. It was obvious that it would be very troublesome to keep Tang Xiaolei at this time.

"What are you thinking twice about? If your son's life was threatened, could you calm down?" Tang Jian shouted directly without giving Zheng Qinghe any face.

Tang Jian's madness made Xu Chaoqi and Zheng Qinghe look helpless. They didn't want Tang Jian to go crazy, but now it seemed like they could control it.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Xu Chaoqi could only sigh, then got out of the car to continue thinking of a solution.

Xia Houjie and Huo Zhun saw Xu Chaoqi get out of the car and immediately surrounded him, "What happened?"

"Hey, Comrade Tang Jian is very excited now. He only has one child. He can't accept such a blow. I think you should think of other ways to save Tang Xiaolei."

Xu Chaoqi's decision had long been anticipated by Xia Houjie and Director Huo Zhun.

Normally, when something like this happened before, their top priority was to rescue the hostages, but the problem now was that Harley was extremely alert. Just now, Huo Jun also tried to send people to approach the car, but when the distance was within a hundred meters, Harley suddenly fired a gun into the air and threatened that if he took another step forward, he would kill Tang Xiaolei first.

As a professional killer, Harley is extremely alert. It is extremely difficult to deal with such a person quietly.

"Okay, we'll try our best to find a solution." After Xia Houjie agreed, he cast a look at Huo Jun, and the two walked away from Xu Chaoqi.

"What's wrong? This solution is not easy to think of. We still need to let Secretary Xu persuade Comrade Tang Jian and be prepared for any eventuality." Huo Zhun was a little confused. The two of them had agreed to talk to Xu Chaoqi together, but why did they just back off without saying anything?

Looking at Huo Zhun, Xia Houjie gave a bitter smile and said, "Old Huo, I think it's hard for you and I to decide this matter. If we don't handle it well, people will be dissatisfied with the handling of the matter, and we will have to take the blame. I suggest that you report the matter to your superiors."

"Superior? Where are the superiors? Secretary Xu is right in front of us, and Governor Feng is in the hospital. Does that mean we have to report to Deputy Director Zheng Zhi?" Huo Zhun asked in confusion.

"That's not necessary. Have you forgotten, Old Huo, that our Commander He is in the Provincial Military District Hospital?" Xia Houjie blinked at Huo Zhun.

"Hey, Commander Xia Hou, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. Yes, that's right. Now is the time to report to Commander He. Only his decision cannot be questioned at this time." Huo Zhun nodded in agreement. He Shengli is the commander-in-chief of the Ducheng Provincial Military Region. His rank is no lower than Xu Chaoqi. Even if something goes wrong, Secretary Xu and his men can only watch helplessly.

Inside the car, Zheng Qinghe was still trying to comfort Tang Jian, but there was no progress. It was obvious that everyone in this meeting was already dead set on their hearts, and even his eloquence would be of no use.

Outside the car, Xu Chaoqi had no choice but to call Xia Houjie and Huo Zhun again and ask them if they had any ideas.

Facing Xu Chaoqi, Xia Houjie and Huo Jun shook their heads at the same time, indicating that things were difficult to handle.

Xu Chaoqi was very angry about the attitude of these two people. He knew that these two people might not take him seriously. If Feng Sizhe was here, they would definitely not have such an attitude.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Xu Chaoqi felt. He felt that this secretary was too cowardly. When Ji Quanyong was the secretary, he could handle everything in a casual manner. He envied his aura and demeanor for a long time.

Xu Chaoqi had always thought that one day he would be like that when he became the secretary, and he would teach anyone who didn't listen to him a lesson. But now that Fang Zheng had really taken on this role, he realized that it was not that simple at all.

Positions only represent your qualifications, but power is determined by influence. If your actions are unpopular, you will have no power even if you hold an important position.

Thinking that even Tang Jian was threatening him, he felt that he was not doing his job as secretary. But something even more depressing happened. Several military vehicles drove over from a distance, and Commander He Shengli arrived.

Seeing He Shengli coming, Xu Chaoqi's disappointment deepened. He knew that even his right to speak would be taken away from him. When dealing with such a terrorist matter, it was obvious that the army commander had much more say than him, the secretary.

As expected, He Shengli scolded Xia Houjie harshly as soon as he arrived, "What's going on? The matter has not been resolved yet. Don't you know how many Chinese and foreign reporters there are in this city because Poole is in the Capital Province? If they hear the news here and rush over, things will only become more difficult."

"Yes." Facing He Shengli, Xia Houjie simply bowed his head and accepted the criticism without saying another word.

"Okay, take action immediately to rescue the hostages. If it really doesn't work, prepare for the worst." He Shengli made a decision to Xia Houjie.

"Commander He, the hostage is the son of Comrade Tang Jian, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of our Ducheng Province." When Xu Chaoqi saw that He Shengli made such a decision, he panicked and wanted to dissuade him.

"No matter who it is, from what we know, this hostage has a certain relationship with the killer. Even if he survives, we will hold him accountable. Also, in the face of national security, the safety of any individual is secondary." He Shengli said with a serious face.

As a soldier, his thoughts are obviously different from those of ordinary people. It is not surprising that He Shengli, who is used to life and death, would make such a decision.

"Yes." Xia Houjie immediately stood at attention. With He Shengli's words, he knew what to do next.

Xu Chaoqi reluctantly returned to the car and explained the situation to Tang Jian. "You can't blame me for this. I have tried very hard, but..."

"No, we can't decide this way. I want my son." When Tang Jian heard how things turned out, he opened the car door on impulse and wanted to rush out to see what was going on.

Just as Tang Jian rushed out of the car, a burst of intensive gunfire was heard not far away. Then someone was heard shouting, "The killer is dead, hey, the hostage was also killed by the killer."

"Ah!" When Tang Jian heard the news, he felt as if the world was spinning around him and he fainted.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Metropolitan Provincial Military Hospital.

The lights outside the operating room were finally turned on, and several doctors came out one after another.

Zheng Zhi immediately walked over first and asked, "What's going on? How is Comrade Feng Sizhe doing?"

"Commander, Governor Feng's condition is relatively stable. Although the bullet penetrated his body, the lethality was greatly weakened due to the long distance. In addition, Governor Feng managed to avoid vital parts at a critical moment, so he is fine. He is just weak and needs a good rest. We suggest that he be sent to the 301 Hospital, which has better medical conditions. That will help Governor Feng's recovery." A doctor at the attending hospital took off his mask and answered.

"Okay, I'll contact them right away about this matter, and you guys should prepare for the transfer." Zheng Zhi nodded, turned around and made arrangements with his secretary, and then he reported to the central government. All the leaders knew about Feng Sizhe being injured while saving Poole, and they were all waiting for news.

After doing all this, Zheng Zhi stood up and walked towards a room not far away, where Poole was still waiting for news.

Kyoto 301 Hospital.

In a very elegant and spacious ward, Feng Sizhe was lying on the hospital bed eating the fruit peeled for him by He Shasha.

"Hehe, your cooking skills are really good. Look, the pears you peeled have not lost any nutrients. That's amazing." Comrade Feng Sizhe kept complimenting his wife while eating the fruit.

"Okay, I know you're a sweet talker." Being flattered, He Shasha's face looked very good, bright and sunny. She was completely different from the miserable look she had a few days ago when she heard that Feng Sizhe was shot and hospitalized.

The door of the room was pushed open, and Mr. Bao Jingguo appeared in the ward.
