Chapter 905 "17" The President is Furious and Spits Blood: This is Too Damn It! (End of Event)
"Boom~~~~"

"Put-put-put~~~~~"

The dense "rat-a-tat-tat" of fully automatic fire swept in, mixed with the "boom" of fragmentation grenade explosions.

The 18th floor suddenly became a battlefield of fierce fighting.

Then,

Boom~~~
The floor-to-ceiling window on the 18th floor shattered instantly, and transparent shards of glass fell like rain, splashing onto the sidewalk and creating tiny fragments.

"Quick, come inside!" The bookstore owner dragged an elderly passerby into the store.

Many residents across the street peered out from their doorways, where they could see grayish-white smoke billowing from the windows of the 18th floor.

Suddenly, a dark figure rappelled down, but just as it reached the 12th floor, the security team below fired a burst of bullets. The figure screamed and released its grip, crashing heavily onto the green belt below. The AR-15 rifle in its hand flew several meters away.

Downstairs, a reporter from KTV recorded the entire gunfight.

The gunfire lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually subsiding, with smoke drifting down through the gaps in the building.

After a rest,

Passersby peeked out.

"Finished?"

"Won."

"What exactly happened?"

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the citizens and the camera of the television station, security guards carried out eight bodies from the building.

All eight 'assassins' were killed.

……

At this time,
upstairs,

The Umbrella Security Team is checking the room where the 'assassin' is located.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. Overturned folding tables and broken coffee cups were scattered on the ground. A map with a route marked on it lay on the floor, and the path from "Umbrella Corporation to Chinatown" was still clearly visible in red marker.

There is also an encrypted walkie-talkie.

"It's a military-grade encrypted channel, not something that ordinary forces can use."

"Captain, we've found something here!" Team member Jones pulled out half a charred piece of paper from the pile of shredded paper. The edges were still blackened from the flames, and the remaining writing was still legible.

"Targeting the property management company with its protective umbrella..."

"Send this evidence back to headquarters' technical department immediately..."

"Then, check the identities of those eight people..."

……

……

KTVU television station quickly began reporting the news.

"Good evening, everyone. This is KTVU News Special Report. I'm your host, Anna."

"This afternoon, two vicious attacks occurred in Los Angeles targeting Umbrella Property."

"Half an hour ago, Mr. Li Fu, chairman of Umbrella Property, was attacked by a remote sniper at the company's entrance. Fortunately, he managed to retreat back into the building in time and was not seriously injured."

The video is a recording that clearly shows a loud "bang" followed by a large hole punched in a utility pole, and Xiao Fu quickly retreating back into the building under the cover of his bodyguards.

"Then, 10 minutes later, the Umbrella Security Team discovered armed men attempting to assassinate Mr. Li Fu on the 18th floor of office building number 179, on his way home from get off work. A fierce gunfight ensued..."

The video then switched to the battle scene on the 18th floor.

Explosions, gunshots, shattering glass...

"Ultimately, the Umbrella Security Team killed eight militants..."

The camera captured several security guards carrying bodies downstairs.

"The documents and items left at the scene of the gunfight have been sent for identification, and the identification of the eight militants is also proceeding simultaneously..."

"However, preliminary information suggests that this group of militants may be from the Republican Party..."

At last,
Television reporters began to 'reflect':
"From street sniping to office building ambushes, who is behind it all?"

Who exactly has the property management company behind the "protective umbrella" offended?

"Is this related to the recent turbulent political situation?"

"Furthermore, the evidence at the scene all seems to point to the Republican Party, could it be..."

……

Following KTV's report, the entire American media was so excited they nearly fainted.

Holy crap, this is big news!

They all followed suit!

As a result, major television stations urgently interrupted their regular programming to broadcast breaking news, and a media war suddenly broke out surrounding the "mastermind behind the attack."

Democratic-backed television stations immediately proclaimed: "The Republicans are fighting like cornered beasts; the Bush administration is suspected of plotting an assassination to cover up the impeachment scandal!"
The Republican camp countered sharply: This is a meticulously planned frame-up! Seeing that the impeachment inquiry lacked concrete evidence, the Democrats risked public safety by plotting attacks while simultaneously framing the Republicans, attempting to incite public opinion and garner votes. They are utterly evil, like demons!
All of America's attention was drawn to it.

It even attracted global attention.

……

White Palace.

"Fuck!"

"Bang~~~"

Bu Shi was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Bu Shi's roar echoed in the room as he stared intently at the secretary standing at the table.
"Was it you? Did you contact those private security companies behind my back to try and kill Li Fu?!"

I assumed the secretary had made the suggestion.

The secretary quickly replied, "Mr. President, it absolutely wasn't me! You rejected it last time, how could I dare to act on my own!"

"Besides, I am completely loyal to you, how could I do something to harm you!"

Bu Shi also felt that his secretary would not betray him, after all, they were a community of shared interests.

and so!
It's the Democratic Party!

"It must have been the Democrats! They orchestrated the attack and then pinned all the evidence on us!"

"They want everyone to believe that I killed him to retaliate against the Umbrella Corporation and to deflect pressure from impeachment!"

"This is a frame-up! A setup!"

Bu Shi felt so wronged!
This is like a pot falling from the sky!
He closed his eyes in despair.

These politicians are really dirty-minded!
Suddenly, Bush turned to his secretary: "Arrange it immediately—a press conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM in the White House Rose Garden! I want to personally address the entire nation and clarify this matter!"

Secretary: "Ah..."

He really wanted to say, "My president, your last press conference was exposed, will anyone believe your statement this time?"

But he wouldn't dare say that.

……

……

In Los Angeles, Umbrella Corporation acted even faster.

That night,

Taking advantage of this buzz, Xiao Fu held a press conference.

After all that trouble, how could I not take the opportunity to collect some interest? I'm the victim, and I have every right to complain!

On stage,

Xiao Fu was wearing a black suit, with a conspicuous white bandage wrapped around his left arm.

There is no injury.

But is it okay to just put on a bandage and fool people?
Below the stage were journalists from all over the United States, and even international media outlets such as the BBC and European media.

As he stepped onto the podium, a flood of flashbulbs went off in the audience.

"Dear media friends, and members of the public who support Umbrella Property..."

"Many people probably already know what happened today... I, the head of Umbrella Property Management, was assassinated today!"

"Today, I witnessed just how vile political violence can be."

"Around 5 p.m., I was ambushed at the company entrance..."

"I thought it was just a chance act of malice, but half an hour later, a gunfight broke out on Sunset Boulevard. Eight armed men, carrying a map marking my way home and military-grade weapons, were waiting to ambush me a second time!"

"At the scene, a large amount of evidence was found, and every piece of it points to a meticulously planned political persecution!"

“Our Umbrella Corporation is rooted in California and the West Coast, and has been doing practical things for people’s livelihoods for ten years. We have never thought of getting involved in any partisan struggles. However, some people see us as a thorn in their side and use bullets and assassinations to solve problems because we have gained the trust of the people!”

Suddenly, someone in the audience raised their hand and asked, "Mr. Li, who do you think is behind these two attacks? Are they related to the recent impeachment proceedings? Were they carried out by the Republicans?"

Xiao Fu took a deep breath and scanned the entire room: "I don't want to jump to conclusions too soon..."

"but……"

He delivered a heart-wrenching accusation:
“My anger is not that someone wants to kill me, but that this behavior tramples on the most basic democratic bottom line! If we are hunted down today for doing practical things for people's livelihood, who will dare to stand up for the people tomorrow? If political struggles have to be resolved with bullets, then what about the people's livelihood we are protecting and the justice we believe in?”

Right now,

Li Jie, sitting in the audience, clicked his tongue in amazement: "He's already got the style of Brother Zu who can fool people."

Chen Guozhong, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Oh, you're talking bad about Brother Zu! I'm going to tell on you!"

Li Jie: "…………"

🇧🇷
On stage, Xiao Fu got so excited that he suddenly slammed his fist on the podium:
"I stand here today to implore everyone to join us in resisting this vile political violence!"

"The United States has always claimed to be the beacon of the world!"

"Therefore, such dark conspiracies and political violence should not occur!"

"Otherwise, would the United States still have the right to call itself the world's beacon?"

As soon as this word comes out,
Many American journalists' eyes lit up.

Yes, linking the 'Beacon of Freedom' to this event will cause the news to explode in popularity!

Meanwhile, European media outlets, which had long disliked the US as the world's leading power, also perked up.

it is good!
I've got an excuse to refute the beacon of freedom!
You Americans persecute people every day, yet you still have the nerve to call yourselves the beacon of the world?
The atmosphere in the entire venue became cheerful.

……

After the press conference,
Xiao Fu started making phone calls with Guan Zu. These were forwarded calls: phone 1 called from Los Angeles, USA to Singapore phone 2, phone 3 called from Singapore to Indonesia phone 4, and phone 5 called from Indonesia to New York phone 6.

Phone 2 and Phone 3 are placed face to face together.

Phone 4 and Phone 5 are placed face to face together.

The signal is a bit weak...

Xiao Fu: "Zzzzz... If we don't fight back this time, zizzzz... anyone will dare to mess around in the future... zizzzz..."

Guan Zu: "Zzzzz... I think so too... Zzzzz... A good punch now prevents a hundred punches later..."

Xiao Fu: "Brother Zu, how do you make it?"

Kwan Cho: "Need I say more? We're the 'Young and Dangerous' gang..."

Xiao Fu: "So, which side should we choose as our target?"

Guan Zu: "Zzzzz... We don't know who the devil is yet, so I'll choose the side that benefits... Anyway, neither of them are good guys..."

……

……

430 Capitol Street, Washington, D.C.

The lights in the party leader's office stayed on late into the night.

Dean leaned back in his leather seat, toying with the heavy fountain pen in his hand.

Then I watched the criticism of the Republican Party on the TV news.

"Hahaha, let's see how the Republicans turn things around this time..."

As he laughed,

Dean suddenly stopped laughing.

"Damn it, we didn't kill Li Fu!"

"What a pity!"

The plan failed 8% of the time; the real focus should have been on killing Xiao Fu.

I checked the time; it was already 22 PM.

He stretched, stood up, and straightened his suit.
get off work!

The convoy drove out of the parking lot and drove smoothly on the streets in the evening.

Dean sat in the back seat, humming a little tune.

If the label of "Republican violent governance" can be firmly attached, seats in both houses of Congress in next year's midterm elections are almost guaranteed, and the next presidential election is just around the corner.

Feeling great!

As the vehicle approached the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 10th Street, the red light came on.

Dean looked out the window at the streetlights gradually coming on, then suddenly remembered something and said to his bodyguard and driver, "Wait, there's a lounge up ahead with some nice bottles of champagne. Let's go buy a few; we'll need them in the next few days..."

Upon arriving outside the lounge,
parking,

get off,

Surrounded by bodyguards...

suddenly,

A sharp gunshot suddenly rang out from the alley—"Bang!"

Dean was stunned. Before he could react, the second and third shots rang out in quick succession, the bullets hitting his chest and abdomen with pinpoint accuracy.

He looked down at the seeping blood, his vision went black for a moment, and he collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

"Mr. Dean!"

"Mr. Dean!"

Dean felt the sound receding into the distance until the whole world went dark.

He stopped breathing.

Everyone said we shouldn't open the champagne at halftime, but look what happened, we lost!
Dean: "…………"

His body remained silent, as if in agreement.
