Chapter 215: A Difficult Choice Before the Motherland
"By the way, I have good news for you, Walter's proposal on the legalization of compound No. 5 has been officially rejected by the court, if there is any objection, Walter Group is welcome to appeal, but before appealing, you had better hand over Lane, otherwise, you may not wait for your appeal, and the stock price of Walter International may fall directly below the floor."
Mallory on the other end of the line gloated.
"Really? It is best to arrange a large net under each building in advance to avoid too many people jumping off the building and causing social panic. Edgar's expression fully interpreted what it means to be smiling and not smiling, but I saw that his tone was full of coldness, but there was a smile on his face.
"Give you five minutes to prepare, and if the time is up, and we don't see Lane, the group of cops gathered under the Walter building will kick open the door of Walter, and then put a gun to your head and invite you to the CIA."
Mallory didn't intend to talk to Edgar more, and gave an ultimatum with a cold face.
"The C.I.A. asked us to hand over Ryan in five minutes."
"Five minutes later, Jervais personally sent Ryan out of the Walter Building." Edgar turned around and announced the latest order.
Meanwhile.
The major news media are like sharks smelling blood, and they have sent their own reporters to rush to Vought, although there are still traces of blood at the scene, but it does not affect the "enthusiasm" of the reporters at all, they hold long guns and short guns, while broadcasting live, while giving live explanations to the audience who do not know the situation.
Among them, including Bejat, who clicked into the channel.
In the basement, a few people had just finished a hearty lunch and came to the TV and chatted with each other.
In fact, it was mainly Béjart who asked, Billy and they answered, but they didn't talk for a word, Bejart brought the topic to Ryan again, only to see that the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, and Frankie and they all closed their mouths because of their weak hearts, and looked at Billy, seeking Billy's opinion through eye contact.
Seeing this, Billy hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic.
"Ryan is superhuman, who can do anything with him? It is estimated that Walter hid him, after all, Ryan's relationship with you is too deep, which is not conducive to cultivating a father-son relationship between the motherland and him, so he wants to use this method to let Ryan leave you for a while. ”
Billy's speculation is well-founded, and if it weren't for Frankie's personal involvement in the kidnapping, I'm afraid he would have believed Billy's nonsense.
"And how long are they going to lock Ryan up? No, I have to make sure Ryan is safe,"
At this moment, the sound from the TV caught everyone's attention.
According to the testimony of witnesses, as well as video and other evidence, it can be basically determined that the murderer is the son of the motherland, Lane.
No one knows why he suddenly slaughtered passers-by, but the severity of this incident must also be a warning to us that after the legalization of compound five, it will cause more tragedies like this, we don't know, but one thing is certain, superhumans need to be regulated, and they need to be regulated by the US government. ”
"Ryan!" Beja, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up in disbelief, she suspected that she had misheard, how could her son possibly slaughter passers-by? It must have been a misunderstanding, she threw herself in front of the TV and stared at the screen.
But the next picture really broke down.
I saw that the victim's family members were crowded outside the cordon arranged by the police, holding signs with Lane's portrait, and kept shouting that murder pays for life! At the same time, those signs also printed the words that he is the devil.
Béjart sat on the ground with her ass and muttered blankly, "This must not be true, this must not be true." ”
On the other side, Billy, who took out his mobile phone, had already learned the whole thing from the Internet, to be honest, he was trying his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, and thought about the sad things, but even so, his stretched eyebrows still revealed his true mood at the moment.
"It's okay, the Walter family has a big business, and they will definitely do their best to keep Ryan, and when the turmoil passes, everything will be forgotten." Billy, who pretended to be sad, came to Béjat's side, put his arm around her shoulders, and comforted her insincerely.
However, his voice had just fallen.
I saw that on the TV screen, Xia Shang took Ryan and walked out of the Walter Building slowly.
"Vice President of the Walter Group, Mr. Jervais?" Officer Edward, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, immediately walked up quickly when he saw Xia Shang come out.
"It's me." Xia Shang nodded.
It is clear that the Motherland has chosen the former between their own glory and their son.
Xia Shang inadvertently turned his head to look, only to see a figure with his hands behind his back, showing his decline.
"Ryan, I'm going to arrest you for intentional homicide, please come with me." Considering that Ryan and his father are both dangerous people, Edward does not intend to handcuff Ryan so as not to provoke the other party and cause a greater tragedy, so his attitude is quite mild.
"Damn! What about the motherland? He's a big selling point in the news, isn't he going to do something for his son? ”
A reporter saw that after Ryan was sent to the police car, nothing happened, he couldn't help but complain, and at the same time expressed the thoughts of other reporters, as reporters, they never think it is a big deal, they only dislike that the news has no breaking point, how to attract attention without a breaking point!
So they wish that the motherland would start a big battle with the police in order to protect their son, so that they can have a topic, of course, the current topic is not small, but they are all here, and they naturally want to see some more exciting pictures.
"Mr. Jervis, would you be able to give an interview?" Seeing that Xia Shang was about to leave, a reporter was unwilling to keep Xia Shang.
I thought that Xia Shang pretended not to hear, but unexpectedly, Xia Shang actually stopped.
Seeing Vice President Walter walking towards the reporter, the other reporters were remorseful, knowing that Jervis was so good at talking, they should also shout like that.
"Excuse me, what's your problem?" Xia Shang took the radio microphone handed by the other party and smiled.
The reporter who was hit by surprise was still a little dizzy at this time.
In his eyes, Xia Shang is not only the vice president of Walter Group, but also a walking dollar.
"Forgive me, Mr. Jervis, for being a little distracted, my question is, as the son of the motherland, why did Ryan carry out the massacre in the streets? Could it be that he has some psychological problems? Or is it something else? ”
The reporter suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.
