The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 527 Why are you forcing me?

At night, gunshots continued to ring out at the north gate of the White House.

Outside the fence of the north gate of the White House, there were a lot of horses, police officers, and FBI personnel crowded around, engaging in a gunfight with Chen Zhengwei's men who were left at the street corner.

After all, it was the White House, so these people were not slow. However, just as they were about to enter the White House to check the situation, they were stopped by bullets in the dark.

One part went around to the South Gate, while the other part waited here for support.

Chen Zhengwei swaggered out of the north gate, shooting straight ahead with a submachine gun in his hand.

A local police officer suddenly had several bullet holes on the carriage next to him. The flying wood chips frightened the police officer so much that he quickly lay down and shouted:
"The bandits are there, at the north gate!"

He also hoped that the professionals from the FBI could provide support, but the FBI people hid faster than him, and kept firing their guns at the police officers.

Chen Zhengwei turned around and fired a burst of bullets into the White House, then walked away in a swagger while changing the magazine.

A police officer just chased out of the back door and aimed at Chen Zhengwei, but he saw Chen Zhengwei suddenly turn half his body, and several bullets fired at him. The police officer raised his head and fell.

The other frightened police officers quickly lowered their heads and looked quietly, and saw the tall figure standing in the yard, giving them a thumbs up, and then slowly turning around and looking down.

The figure just stood there, but the huge pressure made everyone dare not move.

Although the man's face couldn't be seen clearly, everyone knew who he was.

It was because they knew who the other party was that they felt even more chilled.

Seeing that those people didn't dare to chase him out, Chen Zhengwei curled his lips, walked to the corner of the fence with a swagger, stretched out his hand and climbed over the fence.

"Let's go!" Chen Zhengwei called out to a few thugs who were leaning against the wall and firing guns.

The group then left.

And those FBI guys just rushed into the White House with no intention of chasing anyone.

After all, the president’s safety is the most important thing.

The police didn't dare to chase them.

The darkness in the distance was like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth open.

In fact, the guns and firepower used by the other party just now had already let them know the other party's identity.

And the tall figure who walked away with such a swagger...

FBI agents rushed into the White House and saw corpses on the ground from time to time. Everyone had a serious expression.

Especially on the second floor, some were killed by guns, while others were hacked to death with axes.

And from beginning to end, they only saw the figure of the murderer.

In other words, all the deaths in the White House were caused by the same person.

The FBI and local police followed the body to the small study on the second floor. After taking a look inside, they turned their heads away.

Some policemen wanted to see what was going on but were driven away.

A moment later, the chief of police came over and entered the small study with two of his sheriffs. Even though they knew the situation here, the three of them still felt like a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe.

I saw that the President had so many bullet holes all over his body that he looked like a sieve.

The police chief looked at the scene for a moment, then sniffed subconsciously and smelled a strange odor.

"What is the taste?"

"Yes... urine..." A sheriff behind him had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"Not only did he assassinate the president, but he also did such a thing. Only one person..."

"We are a law enforcement agency! Don't make random guesses without evidence!" The police chief immediately glared at him.

Several FBI agents not far away looked at them meaningfully.

Soon, another piece of news came.

Attorney General Charles Deves was kidnapped on the street after leaving his home.

Several of his guards were shot and their bodies were left where they were.

At this time, the White House was surrounded by reporters who had rushed to the scene and were asking questions one after another.

“What the hell is going on in the White House?”

"Where is Mr. President? How is the President's safety?"

"There was a gunfight here just now, and someone was seen leaving. What is the situation now?"

"Has the murderer been caught? Who is the murderer?"

“I heard that the Minister of Justice was also attacked. Is this true?”

"We are journalists and we have an obligation to report what happens in the White House and let our people know the truth!"

At this moment, people from both the police station and the investigation bureau felt their scalps tingling.

……

A moment later, Chen Zhengwei rushed to the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building by carriage. He went up the outer stairs to the top and saw Green and a few others waiting for him there.

Charles Deves was tied up with ropes and thrown to the ground.

When Charles Devos saw Chen Zhengwei coming up, his pupils shrank instantly.

"Good evening! Mr. Minister of Justice!" Chen Zhengwei took out a cigar and cut it open. The henchman immediately took out a match to help Chen Zhengwei light it.

However, the wind on the rooftop was a bit strong, and it took several attempts to light the cigar.

"Let the Minister of Justice give his last words. We are very humane in our actions!" Chen Zhengwei ordered after taking two puffs of his cigar.

The henchman pulled the cloth out of Charles Deves' mouth. Charles Deves retched twice, then stared at Chen Zhengwei and asked, "How is the president?"

"It was a wonderful death!" Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and laughed, "We can dig out several kilograms of bullets from his body!"

Charles Deves closed his eyes in some pain.

"You should have known this day would come when you ambushed me!" Chen Zhengwei squatted in front of Charles Deves:
"We should have been living in peace, why did you insist on attacking me? Why did you insist on forcing me?"

Charles Deves opened his eyes and said angrily: "You are the cancer of this country! If you don't die, this country will be in trouble!"

"He said I was a cancer?" Chen Zhengwei turned his head and looked at Green: "I was a cancer?"

"Boss, those are just the words of a loser!"

"Only with me can the American people have freedom! Only with me can they have democracy! Only with me can they have equality!" Chen Zhengwei laughed. He really didn't care about what Charles Deves said at all.

He is always right.

If someone has an objection, there must be something wrong with that person.

"From its origin as a British colony to today, this country has never lacked people who fight for truth and justice!"

"You can use violence to scare some people, but there will always be people who stand up for this country!" Charles Devos said coldly.

"No, you got one thing wrong! There has never been truth and justice in America!"

"The United States only has capital! Capital will erode every aspect of this country until it completely controls the country. Even the president is just serving capital!"

"The direction of capital is the direction of the United States!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

"The United States is controlled by capital, and I am capital! Only I can lead America into the future!"

"Only I have the vision and the means! Only I can lead this country!"

Both Chen Zhengwei's words and expressions were full of vigor and enthusiasm.

Green and his men were standing not far away. They were all infected by Chen Zhengwei's expression and felt that the future would be just as Chen Zhengwei said.

Only he can lead this country!
"No, absolutely not!" Charles Deves said angrily. "Nothing is impossible!" Chen Zhengwei smiled, stood up and stepped on Charles Deves.

Everyone heard the sound of bones breaking.

Charles Deves groaned in pain. He endured the pain and didn't want to appear weak at the last moment. Sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

"Untie the rope!" said Chen Zhengwei.

Several thugs untied the rope.

"Throw it down!"

Two thugs dragged Charles Devos to the edge of the roof, then lifted him up and threw him down.

Charles Devos subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the edge, but he missed and fell into the darkness below.

Chen Zhengwei stood on the edge of the rooftop and looked down, only to hear a loud thud as something heavy fell to the ground.

"That sound is quite nice!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and led his men downstairs.

He had been planning to hang Devs here, it was so high up there that there would surely be many people seeing him tomorrow morning.

But this would be tantamount to tearing off the face of the US government and trampling it on the ground.

After all, it is one thing for the Attorney General to fall from the roof, and it is another thing for him to be hanged on the roof.

There are some things you can do, but you can't make them known to everyone.

Especially ordinary people must not know about it.

Public opinion can sometimes be trampled upon and manipulated at will, but sometimes it can also be fatal.

Just like what he did this time, all American government officials and wealthy people knew he did it, and he almost never concealed it.

But as long as there are no witnesses, the public won’t know.

The subsequent impact will not be too great.

Chen Zhengwei returned to the small building in Georgetown, but the outside world was already in an uproar.

The President of the United States was killed, and he was killed in the White House. This was news that shocked the entire United States.

Not to mention that a large number of guards and staff were killed. If you didn’t know, you would think that an army had broken into the White House.

The Minister of Justice was kidnapped in the street and is still being searched for.

Late at night, a group of reporters gathered outside the White House, wanting to get first-hand information. Although no news had been released yet, they could all feel the atmosphere.

They all knew that something big must have happened.

There was even suspicion that something had happened to the president.

In particular, the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Interior, Senate Republican leader, and Speaker of the House of Representatives all entered the White House late at night.

There is also Philip Sheridan, who is about to take over as Commander-in-Chief of the Army.

A group of people went to the president's small study and gathered in another room after a while.

"Bad news. The Attorney General was just attacked on the street. His guards were killed and people were kidnapped. They haven't been found yet." Vice President William Wheeler said straight to the point.

Everyone nodded, they had just heard it.

"It must be that guy who did it! He's in Washington!" Army General Philip Sheridan, who is about to take over as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, said with his fists clenched.

He looked haggard at this moment, but his eyes were like those of an angry lion.

He hadn't slept well in the past six months, ever since the defeat in Annapolis last year.

He locked himself in his room for three months before he was willing to go out.

Yet he refused any position.

It was not until Sherman was killed in Austin, and his body has not been found, that he stepped forward to take charge of the current War Department.

After all, he was the most suitable person to be the commander-in-chief of the army besides Sherman.

Before Sherman left Washington, he also pointed out that if there was any problem with him, he would take over.

After Philip Sheridan spoke, the others fell silent.

Of course they knew that it was Chen Zhengwei who did it. After the ambush in Austin failed, they knew that Chen Zhengwei would take revenge.

I just didn't expect his revenge to be so brutal and so quick.

Many people thought that retaliation would come after Rutherford Hayes left office.

However, Chen Zhengwei couldn't wait any longer, and he did not hide it at all.

So what to do next? Find Chen Zhengwei and catch him? Will it succeed?
What happens if it fails again?
And most importantly - who will give this order?

They all knew that whoever gave this order would be met with the most brutal retaliation!
Not only that, if the other party is really provoked, there is a high possibility that war will break out again.

If the war breaks out again, can the army win? You know, Chen Zhengwei's fleet is still conducting exercises in the waters of Oregon.

No one wants to take on this responsibility.

Philip Sheridan's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and his eyes changed from anger to disappointment. He sat back in his chair somewhat powerlessly.

"Now let's think about what we should do!" Vice President William Wheeler knocked on the table and sighed.

"The news can't be blocked for long!"

"How should we deal with the media, how should we make the announcement, and what about the Attorney General..."

At this moment, everyone who had been silent suddenly came alive and started speaking.

First, the president's death is announced and emergency procedures are initiated, with the vice president temporarily taking over the White House.

At the same time, some things that cannot be concealed or are already known to everyone are announced to the media.

Including the death of the president, including the weapons used by the other side.

The police department and the FBI are searching for the murderer's whereabouts and trying to find him as soon as possible.

Getting ready for the president's funeral...

For all sorts of reasons, the only thing they didn't do was to let the army search for and capture the murderer whom they knew was the murderer.

Many people then turned their attention to Vice President William Wheeler.

There was one thing they hadn't discussed yet, which was that someone needed to talk to Chen Zhengwei.

And the most suitable candidate is William Wheeler.

Soon, US government departments took action and countless people were woken up in the middle of the night.

Including government workers in Washington and congressmen in Washington, countless people were woken up in the middle of the night.

They only knew that something big had happened, but they didn't know what it was.

Then some rumors began to spread quickly.

Late in the night, Jules Poggi, the French ambassador who had recently been in Washington, was awakened.

"You woke me up so late, is there something important?"

"The President of the United States... may be dead!" Jules Borgia's deputy whispered outside the door.

"What!" Jules Borgia was startled. He lost all sleepiness and suddenly opened the door. "What happened?"

At the same time, telegrams were sent to New York or other places.

Such a big thing, even though it has not been confirmed yet, has already made countless people nervous.
