Chapter 106: Justice!
Volume 9 Chapter 106 Justice! (4th Update)
The banquet hall was bustling with activity.
With the arrival of Li Fo and others. The atmosphere was extremely warm at once.
Those who can sit in this banquet hall are all Fei Yang's dignitaries, dignitaries and celebrities, most of whom have long been hardcore supporters of Li Fo, and in this group with Li Fo as the core, they have contributed money and efforts and made suggestions. And today, it is time for them to enjoy the fruits of victory.
The rest of the people are all Feiyang's famous wall grass.
These people are not firm in the first place, their status is not high, and their position is not important, so it is a way for them to survive by going backwards and turning backwards to add momentum to the victors.
There are also a very small number of people who are members of the previous black camp. However, now that the dust has almost settled, they finally can't sit still.
Although he knew that if he turned it back at this time, he would not get any good face, and he would offend his former allies to the end.
Now, however, they are not thinking about interests. It's a matter of survival.
The political struggle is the most brutal of all struggles.
Especially in times of war, when human lives were scarce, there were countless prisoners who were executed because of the defeat of the political struggle, and families whose families were ruined because they were implicated. Such things happen not only in the army, in the parties, in the top levels of the government, but also in the civilian population.
This is called "cleaning".
Even a mature democracy like Fiyan can't escape it.
In war, no one is rational.
Laws and systems are sometimes just a dead letter.
Moreover, everyone knows that this is not just a presidential election. Rather, it controls the two camps of the Fiyan military and even the entire Fijian League, and the war that broke out for the supreme power.
How many people can remain indifferent when one side has a winning stake, when they open their pockets and tell you plainly that they are waiting for you to come and that this is your last chance?
Approaching ten o'clock, the polling stations arranged in the major star fields of Feiyang began to prepare for the sealing of boxes.
After a busy day, as early as nine o'clock, the voting was de facto over. When the turnout rate has exceeded 90 percent, the rest is just a passing motion in accordance with the law.
Above the banquet hall. Dozens of crystal lamps, gorgeous and bright.
The people with wine glasses were enthusiastically saying this, and from time to time the laughter of the victors erupted.
No one cared about the food on the tables around them, all the eyes, all the camera shots, all on Leefer, on Dawson and Perez, on the screen in the center of the hall.
No one noticed that a side door in the banquet hall had opened a small crack. No one noticed that a man and a woman and several bodyguards who walked into the hall changed amazingly in an instant.
A female companion next to an official was boredly fiddling with the fruit on the plate, turning her head to look around.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, and she opened her mouth wide and let out a sharp inhalation. It seemed that he wanted to scream but couldn't, and as soon as his hands were loosened, the dinner plate fell to the ground and shattered!
The crisp sound. Let the men and women around him turn around.
Before many could figure out what was happening, they noticed several women with apparently stronger nerves, looking at the side door of the banquet hall and screaming in exclamation.
The screams quickly caused a commotion throughout the banquet hall.
The crowd turned their heads in surprise, and then their mouths opened wide in shock. Even Li Fo, Dawson, Gambier and others in the center were taken aback by the scream, and quickly turned to look.
The screams, like the occasional screeching sound in the speakers, stopped before the eardrums felt uncomfortable.
In front of him, the fat man in the uniform of the bandit army put a sharp and cold knife on Barbara's neck, holding Barbara and walking slowly inside.
If you only look at it, everyone will think that this fat man is Tian Xingjian, the lieutenant general of the Lelei Federation.
However, when everyone saw his appearance clearly, they found that although he was at least seven points similar to Tian Xingjian, he was really another person.
Hundreds of meters tall officials and dignitaries, officers, guards, and waiters all stood in place, at a loss.
There was a clang, and another glass fell to the ground and shattered.
It was the wine glass in Liver's hand.
In the banquet hall, there was a dead silence.
――――
――――
In the hotel restaurant, Zhao Xi raised his wine glass and stood in the center of the crowd.
In a huge restaurant. There were nearly twenty people seated at the table, but there was not the slightest sound.
Everyone was looking at Zhao Xi, many female staff members, their eyes were still red, wiping their tears with tissues from time to time, and sobbing in a low voice.
"I've always wanted to find a chance to invite everyone to a meal" Zhao Xi smiled and turned around in place, "Today, maybe it's the last chance." ”
"It's cheesy, but I still have to say thank you!" Zhao Xi tried hard to keep the smile on his face, "It's a miracle that we have been able to get to this point." And it wasn't me who created this miracle, it was you. ”
"In order for my face to appear in the camera without causing people's anger, my image consultant, makeup artist and assistant have spent a lot of thought" Zhao Xi walked up to a table of people and put his hand on the shoulder of a young man with glasses.
The people sitting around the table may stand up and look excited. Or squeeze the wine glass in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
"For the sake of overall publicity, my propaganda advisers and campaign liaisons travel to major administrative regions, media and newspapers every day, and often hold all-night meetings to discuss propaganda plans." Zhao Xi forced himself not to look at people's eyes that were shining with tears and kept smiling.
Among the members of the second table, a girl suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, and tears fell in large gullies.
It seems that he was infected by the girl's tears and has been trying to keep his smile on his face. The corners of his mouth were trembling slightly, and his eyes were getting redder and redder
"Here, the Democratic and Fair Party is my closest partner. Without your support, I would never have had this opportunity. However," Zhao Xi walked between the third and fourth tables, "I'm ashamed, I don't have the face to say thank you to everyone, but I can only say sorry"
"It's not your fault!" An old man with gray hair shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice.
"I don't think it's my fault either," although his eyes were getting redder and redder, and there were already tears flickering, Zhao Xi laughed, "I stick to my opinion, I work hard for it, I haven't fallen, I'm innocent enough!" ”
"That's enough!" The old man raised his glass.
"Even if you lose the election?" Zhao Xi also raised his glass.
"Yes!"
In the old man's firm answer, the two of them drank the wine in the glass!
"It's time to separate." Zhao Xi looked at his wife, poured wine in his own glass, and raised his head, "In the end, I only have one request"
Everyone watched him silently.
These days of getting along day and night, these days of close cooperation, let everyone in this team know this young politician as if they knew themselves.
He loved the kingdom deeply. He was strong-willed and broad-minded.
Every day, he thinks seriously about the future of this country.
He never makes decisions lightly, and every proposition he puts forward comes from reality, from the voice of the people, from thinking about the future of the country, and from the useful suggestions of his peers.
He was never self-serving, he was a good listener, and he had the heart and wisdom of a mature and gifted politician. He was supposed to be the one who led Feiyang!!
However, he lost.
After sweat and effort on the part of this group and himself, he lost to an invisible hand.
This handsome middle-aged man with black hair is still so hearty at the last moment of his ideals. So personable.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for his final request.
"Don't watch TV," Zhao Xi smiled and said, "At least don't watch it tonight!" Let's go back to our home with our ideal separation, with this ideal. I also live with this ideal. Regardless of the outcome, today, we are not losers! ”
Everyone stood in awe, and drank their last glass of wine.
At ten o'clock, the team disbanded.
Under the night light, a woman wearing a red silk scarf quietly held Zhao Xi, strolling under the shade of the trees on the side of the street, and slowly walked towards her home.
The back is drifting away.
――――
――――
Held in the hands of the fat man, pushed by him rudely like a cargo, feeling the cold blade on his neck that gave me goosebumps
Barbara's mind was already blank.
She couldn't believe that this fat man, who had just been giving soul to him, had changed his face in an instant.
She couldn't believe that in this celebrity-filled banquet hall, in front of the live cameras of media reporters, and under the guns of countless guards who blocked the entire neighborhood where the hotel was located, this fat man dared to put a knife on his neck!
"What do you want to do?" Barbara quickly calmed herself down, her brain spinning.
"What I want to do, don't you know?" The fat man's low laughter in his ear, unspeakable evil**.
Barbara held back the anger in her heart and whispered, "I don't understand! ”
"You'll understand." The fat man smiled and lifted Barbara's head so that she could look at Lever with him.
In front of him, Li Fo's face was so white that there was no trace of blood.
"Let her go!" Li Fo stepped forward and hissed.
"Don't let it go!" The fat man said loudly and confidently.
"What do you want?" Li Fo's lips trembled: "I'll give it to you!" ”
In the hall, there was silence.
In everyone's eyes, in front of the cameras of stunned reporters, the fat man gritted his teeth, and suddenly, burst into tears.
"I want justice!"
His voice echoed through the hall.
"Today, I want to be here to seek justice from this woman who forced away my beloved by any means in order to possess my body!"
The fat man howled and cried, hoarse.
"She me!".
