Chapter 306 A Night of Chaos
The next day, night fell.
Because of Yu Zetong and others, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in the capital.
Just this evening at 7 p.m., multiple gang fights broke out in various parts of the capital.
Around 7:20, people began to deliberately set fires, and fires broke out in many neighborhoods.
Shortly after, several more hostage-taking incidents occurred in the capital city at almost the same time.
In addition, armed personnel claiming to be from a certain extremist organization have appeared in the capital city.........................
In an instant, all the security forces in the capital were mobilized.
-------------------------------------
The capital city—the Council of State.
"The Public Security Bureau has dispatched an emergency response team."
"The heavy equipment team has also been deployed."
"Someone must be deliberately causing trouble tonight."
"Otherwise, so many troubles wouldn't have come knocking on our door all at once!"
"An Xinjue, head of the Capital Security Bureau, has personally taken charge to ensure the stability and security of the capital."
Duty Assistant Officer Zhao Zhihai quickly reported the situation to Council Minister Ge Daqiang.
"Tell An Xinjue that if the situation gets out of control or if their Public Security Bureau is indeed struggling to cope, then they should decisively send the garrison to intervene."
Ge Daqiang watched the news footage on TV—the capital city tonight was a far cry from its usual bustling self, a scene of utter chaos.
Flames erupted, brawls broke out, and looting and vandalism were rampant.
The security team was constantly on the move, and all sorts of trouble kept arising.......................
"I felt uneasy all day today, and it turns out this was what was waiting for me!" Ge Daqiang said in a deep voice, "Someone dares to cause such a big mess right under the emperor's nose."
"It seems the person behind this has really got a lot of guts!"
Zhao Zhihai, who was standing nearby, said, "Sir, it might be related to the ongoing internal purge."
"Some people are getting restless; this is a fight to the death against the imperial court!"
"Be more confident. It would be more appropriate to replace 'maybe' with 'definitely'."
Ge Daqiang said with certainty, "Tonight's chaos was definitely caused by the internal purge."
"The capital is a vital part of the country. Do they really think they can stir up trouble here?"
"It's nothing but a desperate struggle..." Zhao Zhihai said with disdain, "These scum of the Great Qian Dynasty, seeing that they were about to be exposed, simply decided to give up and do nothing."
"However, given the security capabilities of the capital, the Public Security Bureau should be able to handle it."
"Surely it doesn't really come to the point of having to deploy the garrison to settle things, does it?"
"Just in case," Ge Daqiang shook his head. "Although I don't believe these people can cause any major trouble in the capital."
"An Xinjue should be able to handle it."
"But for some reason, I always have this inexplicable feeling of unease in my heart..."
"I have a feeling that what happened tonight might not be as simple as it seems now."
"No!" Ge Daqiang looked at the increasingly chaotic scene on the TV and immediately instructed Zhao Zhihai, who was standing next to him, "Make a call to the Capital Garrison Command in the name of the Council immediately—tell them to be prepared to intervene at any time!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhihai wanted to say something more, but seeing Ge Daqiang's increasingly serious expression, he immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say.
-------------------------------------
Yu Zeqiang's private estate on the outskirts of the capital.
"Mr. Yu, it seems that everything went smoothly tonight."
"The chaos we created in the capital went even more smoothly than we expected."
"This is because everyone really did their best."
"Thanks to Brother Feng's statement yesterday, our plan today has been able to proceed so smoothly."
Inside the manor's secret chamber, Yu Zetong and Feng Zhannian even prepared red wine, sipping it while watching the chaotic scenes in the capital on television.
"If things go smoothly tonight, I guarantee that Brother Feng will not be treated unfairly."
"On the day we succeed, our two families will surely become the two masters of this wealth empire."
"From now on, no one can threaten our underground business empire."
"At 10:30, the main dishes we prepared for Shen Moshen will be officially served."
"Success or failure hinges on this..."
"Boss Yu, you're probably the only one in history who has managed to keep a force of 10,000 assassins in the capital without anyone noticing, right?"
"There's nothing I can do, I'm actually a very insecure person."
Yu Zetong smiled and said, "Over the years, I have tried every possible way to hide these assassins."
"Normally, I have no interaction with them."
"Before receiving the mission, they were just an ordinary group of working people living in the capital."
"Only with such a strong force by my side can I sleep peacefully."
"However, I didn't expect to need this army of suicide soldiers so soon."
"Moreover, once it was put into use, it was assigned this task."
"Regardless of whether tonight's mission succeeds or not, this army of suicide soldiers is no longer to be used..."
"It seems that Boss Yu is quite confident about tonight's operation." Feng Zhannian glanced at Yu Zetong, who was relaxed and sipping his red wine.
"At such a critical juncture of life and death, Boss Yu was able to remain so calm and composed....................."
"I, Feng, am truly inferior..."
Feng Zhannian sighed, "To be honest, even though I'm here drinking with Boss Yu, it's not all that I'm doing."
"But the anxiety inside only grew heavier..."
"Brother Feng," Yu Zetong smiled as he looked at the television screen in front of him, "since it's just the two of us here, I'll get straight to the point."
"Actually, I was extremely nervous before the operation began, so nervous that I could hardly breathe."
"However, once the operation began, the anxiety I felt suddenly vanished without a trace."
"My whole body instantly felt much lighter..."
"In just that one moment, I had an epiphany."
"Once a person understands this, they will let it go."
As he spoke, Yu Zetong took out a brown glass medicine bottle from his pocket, held it in his hand, and waved it: "There are two pills in this bottle."
Yu Zetong emphasized: "An extremely poisonous drug."
"If the 'Super One' ultra-concentrated bomb was one of the trump cards that made me decide to take the plunge."
"Then what's in this bottle is my other trump card."
"Exclusive product - after taking the drug, a person will die quickly and painlessly within thirty seconds."
"I've come to terms with it now."
Yu Zetong said slowly, "If this matter is settled tonight, we will join hands to create a new era that belongs to us."
"At that time, Shen Moshen's death will be attributed to the anti-Qian forces and will definitely not implicate us."
"As long as Shen Moshen dies and the person sitting on the throne changes, our crisis will be resolved."
"On the other hand—if tonight's matter doesn't work out."
"Then I'll use the poison in this bottle to end my own life."
"Everyone dies eventually."
"Being able to die without pain, we wouldn't really be at a loss, would we?"
"So—Mr. Yu, you also prepared a portion of this medicine for me?"
"Of course." Yu Zetong nodded. "However, whether or not you ultimately eat it is up to you, Brother Feng."
Feng Zhannian smiled and said, "After hearing what Boss Yu said, I suddenly feel much more at ease."
"If things fail, a painless death wouldn't be such a loss..."
-------------------------------------
"Unfortunately, after Shen Moshen became emperor, he replaced everyone in the palace, from top to bottom."
"After Shen Moshen completely overhauled the palace, it became an impenetrable forbidden zone!"
"Therefore, we have no way of knowing what is happening inside the palace."
"For now, all we can do is wait and see."
Feng Zhannian sighed, "What I'm most worried about now is whether Shen Moshen will hide in the palace bunker beforehand after seeing so much trouble in the capital."
"If Shen Moshen enters the palace bunker before we detonate 'Super One,' then our operation tonight will have failed..."
"It would be such a shame if the entire plan failed because of this..."
"I reckon it won't happen."
Yu Zetong shook his head: "I think—given Shen Moshen's arrogance, he probably wouldn't just hide in the bunker."
"Even if we besiege the palace, he certainly won't believe that we can actually break into the palace and threaten his personal safety."
"Unless Shen Moshen knew about the existence of the 'Super One' ultra-concentrated bomb in advance."
Yu Zetong analyzed in detail: "Otherwise, the possibility of him hiding in the bunker beforehand is still quite small..."
"I hope so." As Feng Zhannian watched the increasingly chaotic scene on the television screen, his confidence in the operation grew stronger.
"You were just talking about how Shen Moshen replaced everyone in the palace. I've been curious about something."
Yu Zetong said to Feng Zhannian with a relaxed expression, "Replacing those palace maids and such is understandable."
"However, Shen Moshen also replaced all the eunuchs and palace servants in the palace."
“Other places are fine, but without eunuchs in the harem, isn’t Shen Moshen afraid that someone will cause trouble in the palace?”
"You know—there are quite a few guards in this palace..."
"Actually, this is not hard to understand—those who can be kept by Shen Moshen's side are all 100% loyal to him."
Feng Zhannian smiled and said, "Otherwise, the palace wouldn't be so airtight as it is now."
"On this issue, we really have no choice but to accept it..."
"Throughout history, the imperial palace has never been as airtight as it is now."
"Those who tried to develop informants within the palace all met with increasingly dire consequences."
"Therefore, Shen Moshen doesn't need to worry about betrayal at all."
"Because all those people in the palace are Shen Moshen's die-hard loyalists."
"Just like many of us still can't understand why the Daqian Zhenguo Army was so loyal to Shen Moshen."
"Throughout history, any dynasty with strong military power has more or less encountered the problem of generals who command troops becoming powerful and influential."
"However, the Daqian Zhenguo Army under Shen Moshen's command has never encountered such a problem."
"So—you can't argue with what happened to Shen Moshen, can you?"
“Shen Moshen’s ability to single-handedly establish such a powerful Great Qian Empire was largely due to his good fortune.” Yu Zetong strongly agreed with Feng Zhannian’s words.
Now that you mention it...
Yu Zetong gulped down the glass of red wine in one go: "I had calmed down and was just waiting for the results, but suddenly I feel uneasy again..."
"Oh?"
"Feeling uneasy?" Upon hearing this, Feng Zhannian immediately tensed up: "What's wrong?"
"Is there something we've overlooked in our operation?"
"No!" Seeing Feng Zhannian become nervous, Yu Zetong smiled and shook his head: "Brother Feng, there is no need to be so alarmed."
“We have taken all the details and issues that should be considered in our plan.”
"As for whether it will ultimately succeed, that depends on our fate and Shen Moshen's..."
At this point, Yu Zetong suddenly paused.
After a long pause, he said slowly, "Tonight we'll see if Shen Moshen's good luck is still intact..."
Seeing Yu Zetong's performance, Feng Zhannian immediately understood the other party's concerns: "Yes..."
"Tonight's success or failure depends on whether Shen Moshen has better luck or we do..."
"If Shen Moshen's life is really that tough, then we can only accept our fate."
Feng Zhannian comforted himself, "No one can have good luck in everything their whole life, right?"
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that."
Yu Zetong seemed to express a sense of helplessness: "But who can say for sure what will happen with Shen Moshen...?"
