Chapter 401
Hearing that Archduke Philip denied it several times, the butler said no more, perhaps he was really worried about himself.
After the captain of the bodyguard left the basement, the butler immediately locked the steel door of the basement. The steel door of this basement is specially designed to open in one direction: people outside the door cannot open it, only those who are inside the basement can open it from the inside, which is to ensure the absolute safety of the basement.
Therefore, this basement is the hiding place with the highest security factor in the entire Philip Mansion, and because it is secret enough, no matter whether the bodyguards of the Philip family above succeed in repelling the enemy or not, as long as Archduke Philip is hiding here, there will be no danger for the time being.
The butler will not open the door to the basement until the Rénian military police arrive to support, or until the danger on the ground is completely lifted.
When this basement was first built, it was built in full accordance with the configuration and requirements of the air defense shelter. Therefore, despite the suddenness of the incident, there were some cans and mineral water in the basement, and in a short time, Archduke Philip and his family did not need to worry about eating and drinking.
Fifteen minutes later, the butler estimated the general course of action of the Reunion military police, and by this time, they should have arrived, so the butler tried to contact the captain of the bodyguard on the ground to know the situation of the villa.
However, after calling several times in a row, the captain of the bodyguard did not answer. This is very unusual.
For a moment, Archduke Philip and the butler seemed to realize something, and the entire underground vault fell silent, and the atmosphere was very oppressive and terrifying.
About another three minutes or so passed. Just as the butler was thinking. Do you want to go to the ground to check the situation first. Outside the steel gate, there was a sudden clanging sound, someone was knocking on the door, it sounded like a knock, but it didn't look like it.
There was a knock at the door, but the knock was so sudden that Archduke Philip and the butler were stunned when they heard this, and they did not dare to respond. The person outside the door was clearly not the bodyguard captain. If the person outside the door is from the Philip family, they should call Archduke Philip or the butler directly to confirm the safety of the two of them, as well as inform the situation on the ground, instead of knocking on the door outside the basement.
The phone hasn't been ringing, so. The knock on the door was definitely not something they should have responded to. The two looked at each other. None of them made a sound, allowing outsiders to think that there was no one inside.
There was a little jingling outside the door, and Archduke Philip and the butler became more and more sure that it was not a knock. But just as they were trying to figure out what the sound was, they suddenly disappeared again.
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening loud noise, so that the entire underground refuge chamber was shaken violently, and a large cloud of dust fell from the ceiling of the basement.
"Ah, they're using bombs!Are they trying to blow this door open?!" The butler realized this, and immediately panicked, although this door is made of steel, ordinary guns and ammunition can resist, but if the other party uses bombs, this door will burst open from time to time.
Archduke Philip's face also changed, and he looked at the steel gate in horror, because this was already his last line of defense. Suddenly, he regretted that maybe he had really been too careless.
At this time, he didn't have time to think about other meaningless things, because the steel gate in front of him was already a little deformed. The only thing to be thankful for is that the door is still locked, and Archduke Philip has no choice but to deceive himself and comfort himself secretly.
"With such a loud explosion, aren't they afraid of the military police in Rénia?" muttered the butler as if talking to himself. But this seemed to be talking to himself, but it made Archduke Philip's face pale again!
Hasn't the military police from Rénia arrived here yet? However, President Daniel clearly promised them that he would immediately send military police to support them, but did he not send military police in the end? Or did the military police meet something on the way?!
These people who are about to rush in outside the door are obviously not afraid of the military police, not even the military police, that is, they are fearless, they are real outlaws!
What's more, Archduke Philip also thought of a possibility - was the military police in Rénia also bought?!
Archduke Philip, who didn't know what else to do, inevitably had a burst of cranky thoughts in his mind, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts suddenly came flooding in, and all kinds of speculations became extremely likely.
The butler, who was also frightened standing on the side, subconsciously turned to Archduke Philip, and found that Archduke Philip's face was extremely ugly!, Seeing this, the butler knew that he should not add to Archduke Philip's mental pressure at this time, but he himself had nothing to do, and after a long time, he only came up with a comforting sentence that had no practical effect: "Our underground shelter can be explosion-proof." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, there was a loud bang, and it seemed that the entire Philip family's villa was violently shaken.
At the same time, Yan Zhong held his sword and stood in the large living room of the villa, but his face was not very good-looking. In front of him, the villa of the Philip family had been embarrassed by the people he brought, but Yan Zhong's face was not a little joy of victory. Because, his ultimate goal has not been achieved.
"Captain, the explosives we brought are gone. At this time, a team member could only report a fact to Yan Zhong.
Yan Zhong was annoyed, but he soon couldn't allow him to continue moving, because there were already some strange sounds in the distance, obviously, the time they could act was running out.
"Burn this villa and roast them to death. A cold light flashed in Yan Zhong's eyes, and his killing intent suddenly rose, and he said coldly. If you don't do it, since you can't open the door and can't kill them, you can simply break the house at one time.
The team members received the order, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately lit fires around the villa.
Yan Zhong is very sure. Archduke Philip had indeed taken refuge in the basement. Because according to intelligence. He was indeed in this villa. But after searching all over the world, there was no trace of Archduke Philip and his butler, so it was obvious that this basement was the only possibility.
However, with steel gates in the way, the explosives had run out, and they didn't have enough time to continue here at a time when they had to give the order to retreat quickly. Yan Zhong can only use the extraordinary method.
In a short time, the Philip family's villa was plunged into a raging fire, and the flames soon burst into the air, and the sky was reflected red.
Archduke Philip's speculation was unnecessary, and President Daniel did quickly mobilize special forces and rush to Archduke Philip's villa after receiving his call.
The first to arrive was a special forces unit from Rénia. But when they arrived. The fire in the villa was so big that there was no way to get close, let alone put out the fire. Unable to put out the fire, they had to search the neighborhood to find the suspect.
The second to arrive was the police detachment of the police station, and they could only stare at the skyrocketing fire, so they could only pull up the cordon and call the fire truck.
It took two hours to save the fire before it was completely controlled.
They then quickly launched a search and rescue, and finally, from a basement, rescued the dying Archduke Philip and his butler. They were rushed to the hospital for first aid.
When President Daniel got the news, he was also shocked. He hurried to the hospital and saw Archduke Philip unconscious in the bed of the intensive care unit.
Outside the door of Grand Duke Philippe's ward, the commander of the special forces of the presidential palace directly under Rénia, the chief of the Rénian police department, and four or five armed military policemen stood at the door.
"How's it going?" asked President Daniel, exasperated.
"President, when we arrived, the villa was already on fire, and no enemy was found. The commander said.
When President Daniel heard this, he somehow felt a sense of fear gradually surging up in his heart, and it became stronger and stronger! The first person he suspected was Yi Xingchen, and suddenly, a businessman turned into a heroic figure. Seeing what happened to Archduke Philip again, President Daniel couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.
"Our police department will do our best to solve this case!" The chief of police did not know what President Daniel was thinking, but he was afraid that President Daniel would blame them for their incompetence, so he hurriedly promised President Daniel.
President Daniel was silent, pondered carefully, and decided not to express his suspicions about Yi Xingchen. After all, he can't suspect a state parliamentarian for no reason.
President Daniel then ordered the commander to send a small team of special soldiers to protect Archduke Philip. As for the police department, police forces were also dispatched to protect Archduke Philip 24 hours a day.
Leaving the hospital, President Daniel summoned the chief of the Reunion National Intelligence Service and ordered him to send someone to secretly investigate Yi Xingchen and collect information on Yi Xingchen's crime and his forces. At this time, President Daniel's jealousy of Yi Xingchen became stronger and stronger.
Whether his conjecture is correct or not, President Daniel can't tolerate Yi Xingchen, and he needs a righteous and bright excuse in order to eradicate Yi Xingchen and his forces.
Yi Xingchen really didn't expect that Yan Zhong would miss back, he didn't have any dissatisfaction, just some regrets.
However, although Yi Xingchen did not blame him in the slightest, Yan Zhong knelt on the ground and spontaneously pleaded guilty to Yi Xingchen.
Seeing this, Yi Xingchen immediately asked Yan Zhong to get up and make meritorious service with his guilt.
Yi Xingchen has been paying attention to Yan Zhong's task, and he also told the Xinghua Think Tank to monitor the president's reaction.
As expected, the president of Rénia sent a special force to rescue the Philippe family. Yi Xingchen had to think about the meaning of the president's move, whether he was determined to be his enemy.
After some careful thinking, Yi Xingchen can almost come to a conclusion with great possibility: President Daniel of Rénia has become his potential enemy.
Soon after, Yi Xingchen really got the news from the Xinghua think tank: Archduke Philip was rescued, sent to the hospital, and was closely protected by the Reunion military police.
After receiving this news, Yi Xingchen temporarily stopped the operation against Archduke Philip in order to avoid the situation being difficult to control, and only sent people to continue to monitor Archduke Philip.
The National Taxation Bureau of Rénia still came to the door on time and seized the Xinghua Distillery.
Yi Xingchen doesn't like a person who is submissive. President Daniel, using executive power, against Xinghua Distillery, wants him to give in. Nor is he a mud man, and he ordered Tari to hire a team of lawyers to appeal against the IRS's actions against the law, and to use the power of the media to build momentum. And, in response to President Daniel, he created some specious comments questioning President Daniel's ability to govern.
Then, Yi Xingchen adopted a simple lifestyle, hiding himself from the public under the protection of the guards. Even, when he knew that the President of Rénia controlled an armed force, Yi Xingchen did not answer any phone calls from the Rénian authorities at all, and did not give the President of Rénia a the opportunity to send troops privately.
Yi Xingchen thinks that he has always been safe and sound, and the president of Rénia does not dare to deal with his industry openly. In any case, Xinghua Distillery is no longer a small business. The distillery recruited a large number of local workers, solved the employment problem of many Ré-Nians, and Yi Xingchen also did a lot of charitable things and appeared on TV and newspapers. If the Rénian government does not have strong evidence to take action against Yi Xingchen, they must consider an issue of social impact. Rénia is a republic, not a dictatorship. The president must accept the supervision of the people when he does things. If you do something wrong, you will step down.
When the IRS investigated the Hing Wah Distillery, they searched thoroughly, but did not get the evidence they were looking for. The IRS had to summon Yi Xingchen in the hope of getting a breakthrough. However, Yi Xingchen was worried about President Daniel and ignored the IRS's summons. He simply didn't show up, and the IRS couldn't find him.
The staff of Xinghua Distillery blocked the IRS people several times. Yi Xingchen thought that he couldn't continue to stay in Reunion, so he simply took Yan Enyan and Yanzhong and other guards to leave Reunion Island and go to Xinghua Island to remotely direct the affairs of Reunion and avoid trouble.
In another world, Xinghua country, in a residential building in Xinghua City.
Liu Yiyi was lying on a bed, her injuries were getting better and recovering.
Yi Xingchen sat on the edge of the bed and apologized to Liu Yiyi, thinking that he had caused her trouble.
"I'm so sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt. Yi Xingchen said guiltily.
However, Liu Yiyi did not mean to blame Yi Xingchen.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. Liu Yiyi smiled. (To be continued......)
