Chapter 147 The Traitors Must be Killed!
Chu Xun stopped thinking about it. It did not matter if the cooperation with the Golden Wolf Mercenary was Liu Xiefei’s own idea, or the Liu Family’s idea. The important thing was that the Liu Family would bear the responsibility.
In fact, in less than half an hour, Chu Xun’s mobile phone rang. Chen Hanlong was very fast and efficient.
When Chu Xun finished watching the video, his eyebrows as well as the corners of his mouth, were raised slightly.
After watching, Chu Xun ignored the members of the Liu Family, who pretended to be calm but still felt uneasy, and directly sent the video to Jade Rabbit, asking her to forward it to the amiable old man.
“Do you want to see it?” Chu Xun shook his cell phone and asked the people from the Liu Family.
Some were curious, some were worried, and some were dismissive.
“Chu Xun, don’t play tricks. Even if you intimidate Xiefei into saying something bad about the Liu Family, as long as we come out to clarify it, the media will help vindicate the Liu Family, then you will know what it means to go for wool and come home shorn.” Liu Baifeng tried to show an expression of disdain, but because half of his face had collapsed, he looked extremely creepy.
“Don’t treat the people as fools. Because of the heroic deeds of your ancestors, you have been respected by many people for so many years. However, you are complacent and acted maliciously and mercilessly. What the country and people appreciate are the ancestors of the Liu Family, not you. You are just the scums of the society.” Chu Xun sneered and said.
“Hum, no matter what you say, the Liu Family is still the pillar of this country. No one will believe you.” Liu Zizai said with a gloomy face.
Chu Xun threw an indifferent glance at him, and his expression did not change at all. He said coldly, “In fact, I just need that amiable old man to believe me.”
When Chu Xun finished speaking, the looks on all the Liu Family suddenly changed.
“Do you think he will believe?” Chu Xun asked lightly.
As he said, the sound of orderly footsteps came from a distance. Countless armed soldiers rushed in.
Members of the Liu Family and bodyguards were all dumbfounded. What was happening here?
The leader was Xu Wei, an acquaintance Chu Xun had dealt with in Maple Mountain.
“General Chu, we were instructed to protect you!” Xu Wei came forward and saluted Chu Xun. His eyes were blazing and full of adoration.
Chu Xun nodded and returned a non standard military salute.
Chu Xun was always cool. In fact, going by military ranking, Chu Xun should salute Xu Wei first, but Xu Wei had saluted first, to which Xu Wei had no objection. In his view, Chu Xun was powerful and he could do anything.
“I’m Lieutenant General Liu Baize. Which military region are you from? How reckless you are! Do you know where this place is? How dare you break in here? Are you going to rebel?” A big strong man from the Liu Family shouted angrily.
Hearing that, Chu Xun frowned. The people of the Liu Family were used to being arrogant and always made an accusation against somebody, at will.
“I think it was you who rebelled. I’m Lieutenant General Xu Wei. What seems to be the problem?” Xu Wei stepped forward and said.
Liu Baize came forward, saluted, and said, while suppressing his anger, “Lieutenant General Xu, why did you break into the Liu Family, together with these soldiers?”
Liu Baize was not Chu Xun, so Xu Wei would not be so polite to him. His mouth twitched and he said carelessly, “People of the Liu Family have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Now you are deemed as traitors. We were ordered to supervise you. And Major General Chu will investigate it in person. Please cooperate with us.”
Hearing that, Liu Baize almost could not help throwing a punch. “Chu Xun will investigate. Is that the equivalent of letting the cat watch the fish? Will we still survive?”
“Whose orders are you following?” Liu Zizai stepped forward, and asked in a sharp voice.
Xu Wei pushed his chest out and said proudly, “I came to help Major General Chu investigate about your Liu Family’s treason charge, at the order of that old man.”
Liu Zizai’s face turned pale. Although he had guessed a little, he did not expect that the amiable old man would really deal with the Liu Family.
In fact, Liu Zizai knew everything clearly in his heart. The Liu Family had indeed done something illegal in recent years. In Congress, they had repeatedly stopped the amiable old man from carrying out the national policy. He had reminded Liu Baifeng and the others, but no one took it seriously.
“I don’t believe it. I will ask him myself.” Liu Baifeng was also flustered. When the amiable old man was involved in this, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
“He is too busy to see you,” Xu Wei squinted at Liu Zizai as he said this, his face full of disdain, “But the amiable old man is very kind and will give you a chance to explain. As long as you can explain this video clearly, we will treat you justly.”
As soon as Xu Wei waved, a soldier brought out a tablet computer. He then downloaded a video and asked the soldier to hold the tablet up, so that everyone in the Liu Family could see the video.
A picture flashed, and Liu Xiefei appeared.
On seeing that, even Chu Xun was shocked. In the video, Liu Xiefei was sitting in a spacious room. He was dressed in a suit and wore a pair of glasses, and his hair was carefully combed. He looked very clean and tidy.
“Dear leaders of Huaxia, my name is Liu Xiefei. I am from the Liu Family in the capital. My father is Liu Baishan. My grandfather is Liu Zizai. My uncle is Liu Baifeng...” Liu Xiefei introduced the important members of the Liu Family, one by one.
Then, after a pause, he continued.
“I am going to impeach some people. I am going to place righteousness above family loyalty. I am going to report what the Liu Family has done. People of the Liu Family are without conscience and are ruthless. Depending on the glory of their ancestors, they have been defying the law and behaving in a despicable way. They have also killed many people, as if their lives are as worthless as straws. What I can’t stand most is that they colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. They sold the national intelligence and harmed the interests of the country and the people... Their sins are too numerous to be listed.”
Liu Xiefei’s face was full of pain, but he spoke in an impassioned voice.
The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly. Chen Hanlong was indeed responsible for this.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Xiefei had finished speaking, he continued.
“Do you remember the hijacking that happened a few months ago? General Chu Xun broke into the enemy’s place alone and faced the enemy with a brave and invincible attitude, which uplifted our military prestige and shocked the world. When such an event happened, although I was not at the scene at that time, I was also excited and hot-blooded when I saw the live broadcast. At that time, I wanted to kill the enemy together with General Chu.”
“General Chu is a hero. He is strong, brave, kind and loves the people... But such a hero was hated by the Liu Family. Liu Baifeng has a son, named Liu Xiangru. He is ignorant and incompetent. He only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and go whoring. At that time, there was a vacancy for the post of major general in the army. Liu Baifeng wanted his son to be the new major general. Unexpectedly, the central government finally decided to award the rank of major general to Chu Xun, which caused great dissatisfaction in the Liu Family. They were narrow-minded and jealous of talents, so they decided to kill General Chu.”
“The people of the Liu Family are very vicious. They came up with an idea. In order to implicate me, they forced me to contact the Golden Wolf Mercenary whom they have cooperated with many times. They asked people from the Golden Wolf Mercenary to hijack the plane, because General Chu’s sister was on the plane, too. After successfully hijacking the plane, they would lure General Chu into appearing and kill him. Fortunately, God watches our every move. Every dog has its day and God will punish those rats sooner or later. Their vicious plan failed, and General Chu, who was favored by the god of fortune, was safe and sound.”
“Although they are my family members, I love my motherland, the land under my feet, the air and everything in Huaxia. I respect such heroes of Huaxia, like General Chu, who is willing to sacrifice themselves for the people. So I will never associate with these evil people. I have been forced by them to frame General Chu, so I am willing to be punished by the law. Even if I die, I will die in the land of Huaixa. People oppressed by the Liu Family, stand up. Do not be afraid. Join me in fighting against them. We should be brave to say no to the evil forces...”
Liu Xiefei was excited and impassioned. At the end, he stood up, waved his fists and roared about the crimes of the Liu Family.
Chu Xun was stunned. If he did not know the origin of the video, he would have been infected by Liu Xiefei’s words.
Xu Wei, together with a group of soldiers, glared at the members of the Liu Family, in anger. They did not know that Liu Xiefei had been coerced, in the video. They were all affected by his impassioned speech. As soldiers, what they hated most were traitors.
“It’s over... It’s over...” Liu Zizai whispered and fell to the ground.
The other people of the Liu Family paled in fear and their eyes turned dull. They were aggrieved as if they had lost their parents!
“General Xu, I’ll leave it to you. Before I come back, please ask people to guard this place, so that even a fly would not be allowed to go out. If any of them act recklessly, kill him. The traitors must be killed!” Chu Xun said to Xu Wei.
“Don’t worry, I will take good charge here.” Xu Wei looked around and said in a loud voice, “The traitors must be killed!”
“The traitors must be killed!”
Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, their voices echoing to the clouds.
