Yuanfei Zuo is already on the throne; it's impossible to easily destroy him. It requires a long ti, but what Luo Zheng fears most now is ti. The longer it takes, the more powerful Yuanfei Zuo becos. The only option is to use the Japan Governnt's power before Yuanfei Zuo gains a stable foothold. Of course, Japan will not agree easily. Kidnap hostages to force them, then reveal so information to let the Japan Governnt follow the leads and publicize Yuanfei Zuo's cris. Yuanfei Zuo will be dood.
Two hours are enough for the Japan Governnt to do a lot of things. What needed to be said is already complete. Hook glared fiercely at the Police Director, turned around and left. The female anchor tried to step forward and continue questioning but was blocked by Hook's five guards, who were so anxious they stamped their feet. However, they couldn't break through the gunpoints of the five guards and could only stare in frustration.
The five guards' highest mission was to protect Hook, with no understanding of compassion. They watched their surroundings with cold eyes, especially the Police Director, who indeed had an idea of drawing a gun but feared the five guards more. He feared the sniper lying in ambush who could blow up a flying ard helicopter and destroy his head—no problem. He dared not move, and retreating was not an option, as it would be considered cowardly and affect his career. He was simring with anger inside.
Hook returned to the place filled with cars and did not hide his identity but walked directly toward the airport hall. Only then did the five guards slowly retreat and follow up. Hook entered the hall but didn't see Luo Zheng. Instead, Scholar approached him, lowered his voice to inquire, learned he was in the control room, and hurried over there.
Inside the control room, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue were checking the monitors. Hook pushed the door open, entered excitedly, and asked, "How did I do? Was my performance good?"
"Very good, just like the real thing. Now we wait to see how the Japan Governnt will play their hand," Luo Zheng affird. Although Hook temporarily changed so specific tactics, the goal was achieved, and that was enough. He continued, "The passengers are all under control. We've made our voice heard, eagerly awaiting what the Japan Governnt will do. We've got thousands of hostages and over a hundred brothers; they won't dare to refuse us."
"Okay, then we'll wait," Hook said excitedly.
"You wait here for a bit. I need to look around. Two hours is enough for us to perfect our defense. I have to make so preparations and check if there's anyone hiding around the airport. This place is too big, hiding a few people is easy, and we can't be careless," Luo Zheng instructed, throwing Lan Xue a look.
"Alright, go ahead," Hook agreed.
Luo Zheng and Lan Xue left the control room and started inspecting various zones of the airport, sparing no blind spot. They indeed discovered so people and drove them all to the outer hall, choosing so robust n to move chairs to the hall's entrance doors, blocking all the extra passages, leaving only one big door for entry, reducing the defensive range.
While Luo Zheng was busy perfecting the plan and enhancing defense capabilities, the Pri Minister's Residence was a chaotic ss. The Pri Minister had to na a dozen people to his office to discuss counterasures. With thousands of hostages, no one could remain calm. This disgrace was enormous, and if improperly handled, the national image and prestige would plumt, and the Pri Minister would face stepping down. Thinking about the consequences, the Pri Minister's face turned grim, his triangle-eyed gaze sweeping across the advisors and officials, shouting, "Who can tell what the hell is going on?"
None could answer this question. Everyone looked at each other, afraid to speak. The Pri Minister's cold gaze scanned the room, finally landing on the Major General who led the team to the palace for pacification. After considering, his gaze shifted, landing on the Intelligence Departnt head, demanding, "You speak."
The intelligence head felt aggrieved; he had only been in office for less than two days. The previous head was a person of the Chrysanthemum Group leader. The Pri Minister seized the chance during the Royal authority strike to dismiss the previous head and appointed his own man. The newly appointed head was still imrsed in the joy of promotion and did not anticipate this ss. How could he know the cause?
Upon being nad, the new head stamred for a long ti without results. Suddenly, realizing the Pri Minister's intent, he said, "Pri Minister, colleagues, the terrorists nad Yuanfei Zuo. Why not hand him over? Firstly, it could resolve the hostage crisis; secondly, it could pin the bla for the last attack on the Hook Tribe on Yuanfei Zuo."
Everyone's eyes lit up; sacrificing others saves oneself. They all looked at the Pri Minister, who had this intent but couldn't articulate it. Seeing the intelligence head understand his intentions, he nodded secretly, sent an appreciative gaze, glanced past the gloomy-faced Major General, and looked at everyone, asking, "What are your opinions?"
"While this ensures the rescue of hostages, it stands on the moral high ground. Should anything happen, it provides an explanation to the public. However, won't it make the governnt look too weak?" an advisor reminded kindly. Yet, seeing the Pri Minister's face darken, he realized his mistake and quickly fell silent.
The Pri Minister did not express an opinion, looking at others who now understood his true intent. No one wanted to clash, as none would gamble their lives. Getting rid of Yuanfei Zuo benefited everyone; it wasn't worth the risk. One even said, "Pri Minister, everyone, we were caught off guard during the last Hook Tribe incidents. Now Hook nas Yuanfei Zuo as the responsible party. Handing Yuanfei Zuo over helps clear the governnt's responsibility. Secondly, who exactly is Yuanfei Zuo? Did he really attack Shijing Kong's manor, even sparing no old or young, and kidnap Shijing Kong's grandson?"
Yuanfei Zuo had shallow roots in politics, and everyone present were cunning old hands, vested interests, not inclined to share profits with a newcor. Previously unaware of the Pri Minister's intent, now clear, they were eager to kick soone down, none willing to speak for Yuanfei Zuo.
Seeing one-sided discourse, the Major General knew trouble would brew if he didn't speak. Face darkening, he said, "Everyone, it's not about handing anyone over now but about how the governnt responds to terrorists. Do we compromise or fight back firmly?"
"Ridiculous. Can you bear the risk of thousands of hostages' lives?" the previous advisor coldly remarked, glancing at the Pri Minister, hoping not to have misjudged this ti.
"Uh?" Naturally, the Major General dared not claim he could bear the risk, but giving up wasn't viable either. It concerned the entire future of the Kaga Ninjas. The Major General understood he had to say sothing, looked at the Pri Minister, solemn-faced, seriously declared, "Pri Minister, if we compromise, the nation's prestige will be gone. Give two hours; I'm confident in rescuing the hostages and eliminating the enemy."
