In a dilapidated building in Santa Fe City.
Huo Dongsheng looked at the ferocious-looking young man in front of him, his forehead covered with sweat.
The little granddaughter, who was still ignorant, cried loudly in the young man's arms. There was chaos all around. Many cadres loyal to Huo Dongsheng also pulled out their guns and pointed them at the young man.
"Let him go!"
"Zhang Yan, are you fucking crazy? Do you know what you are doing?!"
"… "
Everyone shouted, and the young man named Zhang Yan strangled Huo Dongsheng's granddaughter, pulled her neck and yelled: "Don't force me, get out of here!"
When the two sides were confronting each other, Huang Peishan suddenly stood up and held Huo Dongsheng's three or four-year-old son hostage with a gun: "Don't move!"
At the same time, Huang Peishan's two men suddenly grabbed Huo Dongsheng's daughter-in-law and wife.
The sudden actions of several people shocked everyone.
"Old... Old Huo, you should go out and take the responsibility!" Huang Peishan held the gun and strangled Huo Dongsheng's son's neck: "If you don't go out, we will all die; if you go out, we can still have a chance to survive. You are the president, you must take the responsibility..."
Huo Dongsheng turned his head and looked at Huang Peishan in shock, his expression dull.
There was silence in the room.
"Don't blame me!" Huang Peishan's lips trembled: "I can't help it. I... I don't want to die!"
Huo Dongsheng's eyes were red and his voice was trembling: "Old, Old Huang, we have been brothers for 20 or 30 years. We have come to this point. Is it necessary to do this? Let's go through this once and live together and die together, okay?!"
Huang Peishan gritted his teeth and said, "Why should I die with you? You are the president, and you make the decisions. I am here to help you. Do I have to sacrifice my life to help you to the end?"
Huo Dongsheng frowned, and for a moment he seemed to have aged a dozen years. He hunched over and asked softly, "So what do you want...?"
"The top leaders will stay. I will leave with my family." Huang Peishan said coldly, "They want to arrest you and make an example of you. Then you go and talk to them."
The two looked at each other.
Huo Dongsheng was completely desperate. He slowly unclenched his fists and nodded woodenly: "Okay, if you want me to die, I will die; if you want me to talk, I will talk. Let's not fight... There's no need."
"Old Huo!" Mrs. Huo cried out with tears in her eyes, and the children followed suit and burst into tears.
"Shut up, everyone!" Huang Peishan shouted, while opening the safety of his pistol.
"Don't move!" Huo Dongsheng ripped open his shirt and looked at Huang Peishan, stretching out his hands: "Grenade, give me all the grenades, tie them around my waist, I'll go out and find them."
Several cadres walked over silently, hung the few remaining grenades around Huo Dongsheng's waist, and stuffed two into his hand.
Just like that, Huo Dongsheng took a deep look at Lao Huang and his family, then holding two grenades, he walked down the stairs alone and walked out of the building.
…
“Da da da!”
At this time, outside the building, the sound of gunfire continued. Brigadier General Yang led the team personally, suppressing the less than 100 soldiers of Shengbao City.
"Stop the fighting! Cease fire!"
At this moment, a hysterical shout suddenly came from the building.
Soon, Huo Dongsheng, covered in dust, slowly walked out from the shadow of the building with two grenades in his hands: "Stop fighting! Don't you just want to find me? I want to talk to you!"
While they were talking, Huang Peishan, holding Huo Dongsheng's family hostage, slowly appeared in the lobby on the first floor and observed the situation outside.
Brigade Commander Yang frowned and did not rush to give orders. Instead, he stared at Huo Dongsheng.
"I surrender. Is it not possible to surrender?" Huo Dongsheng shouted loudly.
"Stop the attack!" Brigade Commander Yang waved his hand and stopped his men's attack. "What's the point of doing this? Are you trying to delay time?"
Huo Dongsheng clenched two grenades and calmed down his voice: "I surrender, but the premise is that you let a group of people go. Get me five cars and let Huang Peishan take his family away. Once they leave, I will surrender."
Brigade Commander Yang glanced at Huo Dongsheng coldly and asked, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me now?"
As he spoke, Brigadier General Yang gently waved his hand. The adjutant behind him understood and quietly stepped back and left.
Huo Dongsheng yelled hysterically: "You arrested me, didn't you just want to make me a model for eternal infamy? If I, Huo Dongsheng, die here, what model are you still making? Who will sing for you, who will read your lines for you? Ask Su Tianyu if he needs me to speak? I can guarantee that as long as you release my family members, I am willing to cooperate with you. I will say whatever you want me to say, and after I'm done, you can shoot me!"
Brigade Commander Yang thought for a moment and said, "I can give you three cars at most."
"Am I only worth three cars?" Huo Dongsheng stared at Brigade Commander Yang. "Those people are of no use to you! Those who left are their families. They know nothing and were not involved in anything. All the backbones will stay and let their wives and children go. Is that okay?!"
Seeing that Brigade Commander Yang didn't say anything, Huo Dongsheng raised the grenade again: "One word, five cars, okay?"
"Okay, five cars." Brigade Commander Yang agreed.
Huo Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not put down the grenade: "Twenty minutes after they leave, I will surrender."
Brigade Commander Yang cursed, "Are you fucking dreaming? Can we wait for you for twenty minutes? Ten minutes at most!"
Huo Dongsheng did not insist this time and nodded: "Okay."
After the two sides reached an agreement, Brigade Commander Yang waved his hand and quickly got five pickup trucks and parked them on the side of the road.
Huang Peishan escorted Huo Dongsheng's family, plus about twenty family members of the senior leaders of the Chinese Workers' Union, out and got into the car one by one.
"Don't shoot! Don't worry, I won't leave, I will stay here." Huo Dongsheng was still shouting.
A group of people entered the vehicle, and some cadres in the building became restless, especially the security chief, who was about to rush out with a pistol in hand.
"If they leave, we have to leave too!"
"Why the hell are you keeping us here?"
"Quick, rush out!"
A group of people rushed to the door like crazy.
"RPG!" Brigade Commander Yang waved his hand, and two soldiers behind him stepped forward and immediately fired two RPGs.
“Boom!”
The shells exploded in front of the door, raising large pieces of earth and rocks. The cadres who had gone crazy just now turned pale with fright and all ran back.
At this time, Huang Peishan and the others had already gotten on the pickup truck. At the moment the door closed, Huang Peishan turned around and looked at Huo Dongsheng.
Huo Dongsheng held the grenade in his hand and looked at Lao Huang, speechless for a long time.
The two looked at each other briefly, and Huang Peishan closed the car door and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go!"
"Bang!"
The car doors closed and five cars sped away.
