Minister Li felt a chill run down his spine, and even his breathing became shaky.

He stared intently at the bomb at his waist, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, and images of the courtroom flashed through his mind.

The calm demeanor of Chen Haonan as he defused the bomb with his bare hands, his skillful technique, and his nonchalant gaze, now seem more chilling than the timer in front of him.

"You...you didn't have any bombs left, did you?"

Minister Li's voice trembled violently, and the sound of his teeth chattering was particularly clear in the open suburbs.

He just witnessed Chen Haonan detonate all the bombs in the courtroom, and then he didn't take out any more bombs. How could there still be any?

Just how many bombs is this little bastard hiding?

Could it be that the other party is like a mobile arsenal, hiding other weapons?

Chen Haonan's eyes were as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth. His fingertips lightly traced the fuse of the bomb, and his tone was utterly indifferent.

"Originally, this last bomb was meant for me."

He paused, his gaze falling on Minister Li's pale face, a mocking smile curving his lips.

"However, judging from how strong you sounded just now, threatening me, shouting for Chen Shanming and the others to take me down, and saying you wanted to let me experience the power of military law, this bomb is perfect for you."

"Less than three minutes left..."

Chen Haonan raised his chin, gesturing for the other person to look at the timer; the red numbers were rapidly ticking away.

04:52、04:51、04:50……

"When the time comes, we will be pulverized."

His voice suddenly turned deep, carrying an undeniable ruthlessness.

"Damn it, I hate it when people threaten me the most."

“You helped Lei Zhan frame me in court, threatened to strip me of my military uniform in the car, and just now you were telling Chen Shanming and the others to take action. We’ll settle all these scores today.”

Minister Li's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. Cold sweat poured down like beads from a broken string, soaking his military shirt and the back of his clothes, which were already drenched in cold sweat, clinging to his body, sticky and icy.

He had just thought that with He Zhijun in charge, Chen Haonan wouldn't dare to really do anything to him.

But now, looking at the ticking timer at his waist and feeling the heavy weight of the bomb, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.

That little bastard is a complete madman! A reckless madman who doesn't care about the consequences!

He realized he wasn't as strong as he had been before.

This is a bomb! This little brat has gone completely out of control...

Minister Li's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He was only able to stand up by Chen Haonan grabbing him by the back of his collar. His body was trembling violently, and the fear in his eyes was growing stronger.

"You...you dare..."

Minister Li opened his mouth, but after a long while he could only squeeze out these two words, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.

"Do you know who I am? I'm the head of the military police headquarters! If you dare touch me, headquarters won't let you get away with it!"

This statement was less of a threat and more of a blustering attempt to comfort himself; even he himself lacked confidence in it.

Chen Haonan remained unmoved, his eyes still cold, and pushed him forward. The sound of his military boots crunching on the fallen leaves mingled with the beeping of the timer, like a death knell.

Chen Haonan sneered, his tone full of disdain.

Do you think I'm still afraid now?

“From the moment you condemned me without distinguishing right from wrong and disbanded the Big Black Commando, I had nothing to fear.”

Minister Li's body trembled even more violently, his pupils fixed on the numbers jumping on the timer.

He tried to struggle, but Chen Haonan held him tightly, preventing him from moving.

The next second, the crew's cold voice came through the helicopter's loudspeaker, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Chen Haonan, surrender immediately! Lay down your weapons and release Minister Li! Otherwise, we will take coercive measures!"

The hope that had just been ignited in Minister Li's heart was instantly extinguished.

Coercive measures? What coercive measures?

Should we fire?

But he was being held hostage by Chen Haonan, and he had a bomb strapped to his body. Would they dare to shoot him?

Chen Haonan looked up at the helicopter, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a more resolute expression.

"Coercive measures? Try it if you dare!"

"Anyway, I'm just a worthless person, so it's worth it if I can take a minister with me on my way!"

His words were like a sharp knife, piercing Minister Li's heart and bringing his fear to its peak.

He could picture the scene of the bomb exploding.

The flesh was mangled and bloody, the bones were gone, and not even a complete corpse remained.

"You...you're insane..."

Minister Li muttered to himself, his voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

“Harming a cadre is treason… a capital offense…”

"Treason? A capital offense?"

Chen Haonan's voice suddenly rose, filled with sarcasm.

"I risked my life for the country, destroyed drug lords' hideouts, wiped out mercenary groups, and made so many contributions, yet in the end you label me a 'murderer.' Is this what you call a 'country'?"

"Rather than be unjustly killed by you, I'd rather drag you parasites down with me!"

计时器的数字还在飞速跳动:04:30、04:29、04:28……

Minister Li's breathing became increasingly rapid, his chest heaving violently, and his vision began to blur. All he could hear was the beeping of the timer, like a death knell, each beep striking his nerves.

He wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't help staring at the red numbers, watching them decrease little by little, feeling death approaching.

Minister Li has never been as afraid as he is now, not even when he was young and carrying out dangerous missions. He has never experienced such a deep-seated fear.

To be honest, he wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid of dying in such a pathetic way.

To die at the hands of one's own people is truly humiliating!

Meanwhile, outside the courtroom at the Wolf Fang Base, the atmosphere was equally tense.

He Zhijun stood on the steps, his face so gloomy it could drip water, his eyes sharp as knives, sweeping over He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu, who were being escorted by guards, before finally landing on An Ran.

He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu were escorted by two guards, their hands tied behind their backs, their faces full of anger and resentment.

They had just been brought out of the courtroom and were about to be sent to the solitary confinement cell.

An Ran suddenly rushed up and blocked He Zhijun's path.

"Wolf Head! We can't lock them up!"

An Ran's eyes were red, and her voice was trembling with tears, yet unusually firm.

"They did nothing wrong! The ones who are wrong are Lei Zhan! Judge Fang! Those who can't distinguish right from wrong!"

He Zhijun frowned, forcefully shook off An Ran's hand, and spoke with impatience.

"An Ran! Stop being unreasonable!"

"Chen Haonan kidnapped cadres and defected from the base. As accomplices, they instigated a disturbance and questioned the trial. Solitary confinement is already a lenient punishment!"

An Ran staggered back two steps, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

"Accomplices? They just wanted to seek justice for their instructor! Is that wrong?"

"Chen Haonan saved me, saved everyone in the Big Black Commando Team, saved the entire base! He made so many contributions, and not only do you not cherish them, you treat him like this! How can you live with yourselves?"

He Zhijun's face darkened, and his tone was reprimanding.

"So what if he saved you? He's still just a child! A nine-year-old brat should be back in school, not forming some kind of commando unit and causing trouble!"

“Anran, be smart, don’t let him lead you astray! He’s a rebellious criminal now, following him will only lead to a bad end!”

"criminal?"

An Ran's voice suddenly rose, filled with unbelievable anger.

"If he's a criminal, then what is Lei Zhan? What is Judge Fang? They are the real criminals!"

"Chen Haonan's establishment of the Demon Pill Base and the Big Black Commando Team was ordered by Commander Gao himself! It was approved by the military! What you are doing now is disobeying Commander Gao's orders! Do you have any respect for Commander Gao? Do you have any respect for the trust he placed in you?"

He Zhijun shook his head, a complex look in his eyes.

"I'm also helping Commander Gao."

"He formed a team of children, and although they won the national special forces championship, it had long aroused the dissatisfaction of the five major military regions."

"Those old commanders have already gone to the military headquarters to complain, saying that he hired child soldiers, violated military discipline, and disrupted the balance of the troops!"

He Zhijun's voice was lowered, but it was still clear.

"The leaders of the five military regions are all making accusations, putting immense pressure on the military, which is why Minister Li is being tried today."

"Commander Gao is foolish! He only sees the boy's talent, but not the trouble he brings! Look, the King of Hell is dead, who's next?"

"He's still just a child, his temperament is unsettled, and he acts impulsively. He's simply not up to the responsibility of a commando commander! Now that he's caused such a huge disaster, it should serve as a wake-up call for Commander Gao!"

"not like this!"

He Chenguang suddenly struggled to his feet and shouted at He Zhijun.

"Wolf Head! You have no idea what the truth is!"

"In the past, during wartime, many children also joined the army and fought in battles. They also defended their country and made great contributions! Age is not a problem at all!"

"Moreover, Yama didn't die at the hands of our instructors at all! It was Lei Zhan's command error and unauthorized change of plan that led to Yama's sacrifice! The surveillance video brought by Director Wen is the evidence!"

Wang Yanbing also roared angrily.

"Exactly! You're completely turning black into white! Lei Zhan made a mistake but didn't dare take responsibility, so you're trying to shift the blame to our instructors! You're just afraid of the pressure from the five military regions and afraid of damaging Wolf Fang's reputation, so you're deliberately framing him!"

Li Erniu's face turned red, and he shouted with his neck stiff.

“Our instructor is a good man! He would never harm anyone! The death of Yama has nothing to do with our instructor! You can’t treat him like this! You can’t lock us up!”

"Shut up!"

He Zhijun abruptly interrupted them, his eyes filled with authority.

"This is none of your business!"

"I'll say it again, this is the military's decision, the result of the trial, and you have no right to question it!"

He winked at the guards escorting him.

"Take him away! Send him to solitary confinement immediately! No one is allowed to visit him without my order!"

"Wolf Head! You can't do this!"

An Ran quickly stepped forward and stood in front of He Chenguang and the others.

"They are innocent! You can't just lock them up without even knowing the facts!"

He Zhijun looked at An Ran with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

“An Ran, you are a veteran of the Wolf Fang Army, you should know the importance of military discipline.”

"If you want to leave Wolf Fang, I won't stop you. Just write a report and submit it."

"But you must live up to this uniform you wear, and to all the years you've dedicated to Wolf Fang! Don't ruin your future because of a rebellious kid!"

An Ran was so angry that she trembled all over, her lips quivering, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Is this the Wolf Fang, which she once fought for and was proud of? Is this what they call fairness and justice?

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and a communications officer came running up, panting heavily, his face full of panic, his military cap askew.

He ran up to He Zhijun, clutching his knees and panting heavily, his face pale and his voice trembling.

"Wolf Head! Something terrible has happened!"

He Zhijun frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's the panic? What happened?"

The correspondent swallowed hard, looked up, and his eyes were filled with terror.

"Wolf Head, it's...it's Chen Haonan! He...he strapped the last bomb, the time bomb, to Minister Li!"
