Schenkov's eyes were bloodshot, and he did not immediately reply between Ivan and Dulang, but looked at his assistant and asked: "Has the chairman of the Amir City Council been contacted?" Are there any instructions from the court? ”

The assistant shook his head: "No, Mr. Acting Speaker, no." Mr. Mayor's phone could not be reached, and there were no instructions to go to court. ”

Schenkov laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yes, knowingly asked, how could it be possible.

Amir absolutely turned off his phone at the first moment and hid in a place where no one could find him.

If something like this happened in Crescent City, if anyone contacted him, he would have to give instructions.

Giving instructions means that you have to take responsibility for the consequences.

However, as long as they cannot be contacted, the decision must be made by the acting city council president.

Whatever happens next, it has nothing to do with Amir, an "uninformed" person.

The same is true for the leaders who came to court.

This day's thunder, which leader will stand up to help when he is full? It must be pushed to the Crescent City Council to go to the top, and the farther away you hide, the better.

At this moment, Schenkov was a little desperate.

I'm just acting as the chairman of the city council for two weeks, how can I get involved in this kind of thing.

He once wondered if he was some kind of evil devil in his previous life, and he would be punished by fate in this life.

In this situation, he can't advance, and he can't retreat.

Maintaining the dignity of the world government will inevitably hurt the hostages, and these financiers will put him to death in front of them.

If you protect the life of the hostages and cater to Muto Toei's request to split Crescent City, he will definitely be taken down and questioned afterwards in court.

Schenkov is now walking left and right, there are no people inside and outside, just like the stinky shit on the side of the street, everyone hides, everyone sees people and everyone dislikes.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on an empty seat, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "What about Kitahara Falcon?" He is the head of the General Security Bureau, why didn't he come to the meeting? ”

"I'll ask." The assistant went out to call to inquire about the situation.

A short time later, he came back and reported: "Director Kitahara Hayabusa fell down the stairs of his home not long ago and is lying in the ICU ward. ”

Schenkov's face changed: "How is it?" Is the situation serious? ”

The assistant's eyes wandered, and he hesitated and said, "The hospital said that the results of all the examinations are fine, and the vital signs are very stable. But somehow, people just can't wake up from a coma. ”

Schenkov froze in place like a statue.

After a while, he lost control of his emotions and laughed, laughing so much that he leaned back and forth, and tears came out: "Wonderful, really *civilized crescent*, why didn't I think of this trick?" ”

The councillors present all turned pale.

At this most critical moment, the No. 1 person in the Public Security Bureau actually chose to play dead?!

Kitahara Hayabusa did this, which means that all the tasks of the Public Security Bureau are all on Schenkov.

Ivan's tone hardened: "Mr. Acting Speaker, please remember that you are now the nominal Supreme Administrator of Crescent City, and you must assume the corresponding obligations and responsibilities to maintain the integrity of the city!" ”

Du Lang also said sharply: "Schenkov, you can figure it out, it was me and these gentlemen and ladies behind me who pushed you to your current position!" We can push you up at any time, and we can pull you down at any time! ”

Ivan: "The city council cannot compromise with the thugs, and the dignity of the world government cannot be violated!" If you sign a document recognizing border independence, you will be taken to court for "dereliction of duty"! ”

Du Lang: "I swear! Schenkov! If you dare to delay the negotiations, or dare to order the storming of the Xinghai Cinema, resulting in the death of another child, I will unite all the consortiums to prosecute you for "crimes against humanity!! ”

Schenkov sat there paralyzed, the person was already numb.

He turned his head to look at the window of the conference room, and thought: Otherwise, I will jump from here, and I will fall to my death, and if I don't fall to death, I will enter the ICU and pretend to die.

Ivan and Dulang were still arguing, and their roars were like frosted glass, blurred in their ears.

I don't know how long it took, but Schenkov sighed faintly.

Maybe it's because he thinks of his son, who is still in junior high school, and he can't let him be without a father.

Or perhaps it is because he remembers the oath and ideals he took at the beginning of his tenure, and must not let the general public and the thugs see the joke.

In the end, instead of following Kitahara's ridiculous behavior, Schenkov got up from his seat.

The gloomy look made Schenkov look like he was ten years older, and he said in a low voice: "Captain Ivan stay, other gentlemen and ladies, please leave first." ”

Dulang realized the meaning of these words, and was already furious, he pointed to Schenkov's nose and said: "You are dead, Schenkov, I will make you regret making this decision!" You're going to die an ugly death! ”

Du Lang left angrily with the parents, shouting as he walked: "Let's go to the capital overnight and let the court punish this anti-human madman!" He can't stay in this position any longer! ”

The rest of the parliamentarians also got up and left, and everyone looked at Schenkov with pity.

Several colleagues who had a good personal relationship with him also bowed deeply, as if they were saying goodbye to him at the end of their lives.

In the end, only Schenkov and Ivan were left in the conference room.

Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "This decision is the right one, Mr. Acting Speaker." This may have been painful, but it is right. ”

"If we compromise once and let the mob taste the sweetness, they will do it a second time, and the third time, and the thugs in other cities will follow suit, and then more children will be harmed."

"The children of Xinghai Cinema are innocent, but the precedent of compromising with the thugs must not be opened, and we must extinguish this flame. May God bless these little angels."

Schenkov shook his head, his voice weak: "Don't say it, I'm not as great as you think." I just feel that the crime of malfeasance is closer to me than the illusory crime against humanity. ”

Ivan pursed his lips and said, "No matter what, Crescent City will remember your choice, no matter how long you are gone. ”

"Oh, don't talk like I'm going to die!" Schenkov kicked away his chair and tightened his loose tie with all his might, with a look of determination on his face, "I'm not going to accept my fate!" ”

"Fate wants to play with me Szynkov? No way! ”

Ivan was stunned: "I don't understand what you mean. ”

Schenkov said heavily: "In this rescue operation, don't participate in the four anti-riot lessons." ”

Ivan thought that this was the meaning of retreat, and was a little anxious: "Mr. Acting Speaker!" ”

Schenkov interrupted him, explaining: "Not only the four classes of anti-riots, but also the armed forces of all authorities should not be involved. I'm going to entrust another group of people to do this. ”

"In my name, you will summon all the big middlemen of Crescent City, as well as the leaders of the well-known mercenary group."

"I want the city's most elite mercenaries to meet me in Conference Room One, immediately!"
