Chapter 1285
“Wow…”
As a pot of cold water poured down from the sky, Huo Siji opened his eyes with a jolt, and he saw an old man who was laughing.
Also, the unfamiliar surroundings.
“Young Master God, you’re finally awake?”
The old man saw that he had finally opened his eyes and sat back, taking a cigarette out and lighting it as he began to smile at him through the smoke.
Huo Siji moved.
After realising that he couldn’t move at all, he then realised that he was actually handcuffed to the bed.
“Lan Yuan, what do you want? Did you deliberately send someone to wreck the car? The purpose was to bring me here?”
“Yes.”
The old man admitted graciously through the smoke.
“Looks like you’re not out of your mind even though you’re sick, well, good good, that was the right decision.”
He gave a satisfied smile.
Huo Siji struggled again.
Only to find that after this one, there was intense pain coming from several places on his body, especially his head, he was in so much pain that cold sweat rolled down in a flash.
“Don’t move, you’ve hit it pretty hard, don’t worry, I haven’t done anything to you yet, the injuries you have now are all caused by the car accident.”
“……”
It was another while before Huo Sijiu, who had stopped and was lying on this bed, finally heard himself open up again.
“What is this place? Did you take me here to do something already?”
“Brilliant!”
Once again, the old man, who did not mince words in giving praise, rose from his chair.
“I do have something big up my sleeve, but let me answer your first question first, you want to know where this place is right? Well, I’ll tell you, this place is, in fact, the Shen family!”
“Shen’s house?”
Huo Sijiu, who was handcuffed to the bed, instantly revealed a hint of disbelief.
“How is this possible? The Shen family was already razed to the ground by you when Shen Yizhi died last time, so how could you still be in the Shen family? Is it possible that you even dug under the ground of their house?”
“Yes, you see, that’s your logic.”
Lan Yuan seemed satisfied when he heard this.
He walked over to the front coffee table, then turned on the TV hanging on the wall in front of Huo Sijiu.
“See? In this surveillance, it’s the entire sky over Province A, including this neighborhood of the Shen family, Huo Sijiu, you’re actually really smart, but there’s one thing that you always make a mistake, and that’s that every single thing in your mind, you’ll think in terms of complexity, but very often, the simpler it is, the more it can confuse a person, you know?”
He pointed to the picture on the TV and opened his mouth to say this with a hint of teaching.
This matter, indeed, was won by him.
After the Shen family was razed to the ground, no one thought that there would still be people hiding here, including Huo Sijiu.
However, no one knew that actually blowing up Shen Yizhi and razing the place to the ground in the first place was exactly what he did to disguise his hiding place, and the more tragic it was, the better.
That way, it would be less likely to be suspected.
Huo Sijiu’s face was full of irony.
Having only just awakened, his handsome face still carried the pallor from his injuries, but at this moment, when he saw that he had actually been played by this old devil, he was under a huge frustration.
His entire expression, all of it, took on a greyish white colour.
When Lan Yuan saw this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh again.
“You don’t need to feel that you have suffered a great blow, let me tell you, back then Situ Jingxuan was not my opponent, and your father, too, was not my opponent.”
“So for you to be able to get through so many moves in my hands is actually quite good enough.”
He even started to comfort him.
Huo Siji’s chest rose and fell violently for a moment before he heard himself ask again, “So what are you planning now? Are you going to have a final showdown with me?”
“Hahahahahahaha ……”
The old thing laughed.
“That’s right, I’m going to fight you to the death, but, Huo Sijiu, you’ve already fallen into my hands, so this you, is going to be replaced with your brother Shen Yu, your grandfather Shen Zong Yu, and, the entire White Palace regime!”
He finally got the words out.
Huo Sijiu’s eyes were scarlet as he stared at him with a deadly stare, “How are you going to do that? I’m telling you, even if you catch me, but I’ve already purged the capital, it’s not that easy for you to regain power.”
“Is that so?”
The old man smiled faintly again.
“Huo Sijiu, have you forgotten? The capital is my lair that has been entrenched for years, do you really think you can purge it and get rid of all my people?”
“……”
“Let me tell you, just at the time you were captured, almost a third of the capital was already covered by my people, right? They were all in crowded shopping malls, subways and bus stations …….”
“You beast!”
Before he could finish a sentence, the man, handcuffed to the bed, had already rebuked in anger.
The mall? The underground?
And the bus station?!!!
Was he still a human being? For the sake of his own power, he had no regard for those innocent people.
Huo Sijiu had never been so angry before.
Chapter 1286
“I now know why your brother would rather die than pa*s that position to you, because you don’t deserve it!” He ground the words out through his teeth in a single word.
“Snap–”
The words fell, and the person standing here by the bed looking at him immediately slapped him across the face.
Huo Sijiu’s eyes went black.
The instantaneous sharp pain in his cheek, as well as the bruise he had hit on his head, made him not slow down for several seconds.
In his mouth, he even immediately tasted fishy sweetness!
“Talk to the President like that again and I’ll kill you myself!”
“Alright, he doesn’t know anything and he’s got a brain problem, it’s normal for him to babble a few words, keep him well locked up here and I’ll have a good chat with him when I get back.”
After saying that, the old man was about to go out.
Huo Sijiu heard it in his daze, and immediately, he bit his tongue hard to wake him up.
“Wait a minute, you haven’t made it clear to me what you’re going to do? I don’t believe I’ll lose to you, even if …… even if you still have people in the capital, but, the army is now in the hands of my divine family, and so is the White House, how are you going to attack? Ah?”
He roared at him with his voice exhausted.
Because of the force, his whole body was strained from that bed until it left the bed, and the handcuffs were at his wrists, and they were even stretched to the point that blood marks were coming out.
Just to call out to the old thing.
To hear his final plan clearly.
Fortunately, perhaps, people who are too smart for their own good are conceited, and after he used this provocation, the old thing, in the end, did stop again.
“An army?” He gave a cold laugh.
“So what if it’s in the hands of your God Family? Do you think that just that ordinary weapon in their hands is enough to fight with my nuclear ammunition? I’m telling you, since yesterday, the entire underneath of the military headquarters has been filled with nuclear explosives, something that can be detonated by just a nuclear current, do you remember when the Shen family exploded above my head?”
“……”
There was no more sound.
At this moment, this hysterical man, after hearing these words, finally poured out of his bloodshot eyes as if ice water had poured down all at once.
It was cold to the bone!
“Of course, you don’t have to worry, I won’t get them all killed if they are willing to surrender, my present is for them to submit to me, not to kill.”
He had the nerve to say such a crowning statement.
The old man finally left, and the bas*ment, which had been re-locked with a bang, was left with only Huo Siji, who was handcuffed there.
And a man who was staring at him.
The capital was finished.
The army was finished.
The White House, too, was finished.
Huo Siji lay there motionless, his entire body as decrepit as if he had died after his great power had gone.
“Huh-”
The man who was staring at him from the side saw it and revealed a mocking sneer as he lifted his foot and went to pour himself a drink of water.
He had said what a great little madman this was, but now it seemed to be no more than that, he was still being played around by their chairman all the same.
This man took his gla*s of water and went to the water fountain.
What he didn’t see at this time was that the man behind him, who was handcuffed to the bed, after a hawk-like gleam in his fierce grey eyes, the hand that wasn’t roasted, touched the back of his ear.
“Knock …… knock …… knock …… knock ……”
It was a string of tapping rhythms that represented words.
He stared intently at the man as he darted this information through, and when he finally finished channeling it, his entire body was drenched in sweat.
The area where those fingertips were tapping was even redder.
His head, originally, had been injured.
Huo Siji had ended up pa*sing out, the pain in his body and the fact that Lan Yuan had injected him with drugs when he was captured, and after all that, he hadn’t been able to hold on any longer.
The people who were watching him in this bas*ment saw that he had pa*sed out and ignored it.
He turned on the television and watched it there at his leisure.
Because, as the President had said when he left, he was going to give him a full live broadcast of this holy war, and he wanted everyone to see how he, Lan Yuan, was going to take back this regime that was rightfully his.
However, when the television was turned on, the man could not have imagined that it would cut to the screen of the capital at the beginning.
Far from the effect he wanted to see.

“Ding-ring-ring–”
When the phone at the Observatory was knocked out, Wen Shuxu was upstairs taking care of the person she had just picked up.
“Shuxu, it’s not good, there have been several terrorist attacks over in the city centre, as well as the underground station, the train station, and so on, all the same, can Sijiu he talk anymore?”
Huo Sixing looked over, so anxious that her face was white.
Of course she was anxious, the children were all at home now, but Shen Yu had gone to the White Palace, and Shen Zong Yu had gone to the military camp, and now they were the only two women left here.
It would be strange if she wasn’t anxious.
When Wen Shuxu heard this, she was also shocked and angry.
However, she took a look at the man on the bed whose leg was bandaged and whose head was even more covered with gauze and still sleeping, and she simply did not know what to do?
“He hasn’t woken up yet, otherwise, you should call and ask Shen Yu first.”
She had no choice but to give such an idea.
