Start in Night City - #385 - Chapter 385
Seeing that Su Xiao did not show any unhappiness, the president turned to the soldier after feeling relieved.
He asked in a stern tone: “I ask you what is going on here? Answer the question, soldier! Who asked you to beat him like this?!”
The guard who just spoke was stunned on the spot.
Because the president never talks like this.
Not to mention these dog-like refugees, even the citizens of the capital, the president has never treated them as human beings.
Why do you seem to care so much about these refugees now?
Although I can’t figure it out…
However, now that the president had spoken, the guard answered honestly.
“Your Excellency, this man said that his two daughters are sick.”
“Go to the hospital when you are sick. It’s not like there are no hospitals in the capital. Why not rush to the hospital?”
He took his daughter to the hospital, but came to stop the car? “
“General…Your Excellency the President,” the dying man lying on the ground spoke. He vomited a mouthful of blood and said intermittently, “Please…please help me. My wife has died long ago, and only my two children are left. Daughter. We gave up almost everything in order to escape, and now I don’t have a penny on me.”
“Please… please, Mr. President, I can’t lose my daughter.”
The president put on a pleasant expression.
He originally wanted to squat down and hold the man’s hand.
This way I can act more sincerely.
But when he squatted down, he smelled the stench of sweat coming from the man’s body.
The smell of blood is the same as rust.
Looking at the man’s hand, which was covered in blood, the president suddenly couldn’t hold himself any longer.
He squatted down and stood up quickly.
Perhaps he felt that it was not good to look at others condescendingly, so the president did not look at the man, but said to the soldiers standing nearby, still waiting for instructions.
“Since people stopped the car because they were in trouble, how could they be beaten like this? How do I usually educate you?”
“Doesn’t he need a doctor? In this case, you can send his daughter to the best hospital in the city. Don’t worry about the medical expenses. All the money will be paid by the presidential palace.”
“this……”
After hearing the president’s words, not only the guards who had beaten the man just now, but also the guards following the president were stunned.
According to their past impressions of the president, the president is not such a person.
On weekdays, don’t the president and the elites who support him not regard ordinary people as human beings at all?
Why did you suddenly change your temper now?
“What are you doing standing still? Why don’t you just do what I tell you?!”
After the president reprimanded him again, the surrounding guards suddenly woke up.
Lift the man into the Hummer.
Although I don’t know what the situation is, since it is the president who has spoken, let’s do what the president says.
After all, in this country, the law is just a piece of paper, enacted by the privileged class like the president to maintain their own rule.
As long as they feel something is inappropriate, they can change it at any time.
The law is not as effective as the President’s farts.
Therefore, since the president had spoken, the guards did not dare to neglect and immediately launched their Humvees and drove towards the man’s home.
The civilians watching were dumbfounded.
Based on their knowledge, hadn’t the refugee man been dragged away a long time ago?
How could he be taken to the hospital in a Presidential Guard Humvee?
And it’s still free of charge and will be reimbursed by the presidential office?
How could such a good thing happen?
The civilians couldn’t figure out what was going on, but that didn’t stop them from realizing that this was an opportunity.
Then the surrounding civilians immediately swarmed forward.
There was a lot of talk around the president.
The guards protecting the president immediately raised their weapons and shouted at them with their guns, not allowing anyone to get close.
Seeing that the scene was in complete chaos and showing signs of getting out of control, the president quickly yelled and asked his guards to escort him back to the limousine.
At the same time, the machine gunners on the three remaining Humvees pulled the gun bolts hard, opened the safety, and pointed their guns at the crowd rushing around.
Chapter 325 Humanity can’t learn any lessons (3K)
The restless crowd around them finally calmed down a bit after the machine gunner on the Humvee pulled the bolt of his gun.
This reminded them of the horror of being dominated in their daily lives.
The restrained crowd moved out of the way in front of the muzzle of the machine gun.
The convoy did not dare to neglect and hurriedly left this road.
…
The president, who returned to the car, showed an awkward yet polite smile to Su Xiao.
I wanted to show my face, but ended up showing my butt.
The president also didn’t expect that after finally doing a good thing, he almost caused bad things to happen to the civilians.
Fortunately nothing really happened.
If those civilians rush up and none of his guards can control themselves and shoot at the civilians…
The president really doesn’t know what to do.
“My subordinates don’t know how to do things, so you are laughing at them.”
Lidya Su smiled noncommittally.
He knew that the president was deliberately trying to please himself, and it was just a show.
If I were not in the car today, the outcome would be completely different.
But it doesn’t matter.
Su Xiao already knows the attitude of the president and government troops.
After that, nothing else happened, and the motorcade arrived at the Presidential Palace smoothly.
The president personally took Lidya Su to the room.
It can be seen that this room has been carefully decorated.
The decoration style of the entire room is deliberately imitating the company’s style.
Black and gold are used to create a low-key, restrained and luxurious style.
There is also a huge floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the wall. The direction in which the floor-to-ceiling window faces is very particular.
It is not aimed at poor, crowded, poor environment, densely packed housing, small living space civilian areas…
Rather, they are wealthy areas with spacious gardens, swimming pools, and even private docks or golf courses.
Even the streets in wealthy areas are wider and neater than those in civilian areas.
It is clean and even surrounded by trees or flowers, which makes the whole community look more beautiful and eco-friendly.
Moreover, you can also see that there are many high-end commercial facilities in wealthy areas, including high-end shopping malls, art galleries, top restaurants and hotels, as well as various high-end service and brand stores.
After bringing Su Xiao to the room, the president knew that Su Xiao must be very tired after coming all the way.
So he left knowingly.
After the president left, Su Xiao used the tactical goggles to scan and confirm that no pinhole cameras or other equipment were installed in the room.
Then he lay down on the bed and rested.
…
In the evening, a waiter came and invited Lidya Su to go to the banquet hall with him.
The luxuriously decorated banquet hall was filled with all kinds of people.
There is no doubt that these people are the elite of this country.
When Su Xiao and Zhucun came in, everyone in the banquet hall showed the brightest smile to Su Xiao.
Obviously, these elites are not fools. They know that their current good life and dominance are all maintained by Su Xiao.
The president plans to hire Shuguang Military Company to help them fight the war. Not only do these elites know about it, they are probably the ones who gave the president the idea.
After all, whether their rule can be maintained depends entirely on the next actions of Su Xiao and Shuguang Military Company.
Therefore, naturally no one dared to show off to Lidya Su.
As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person, although Su Xiao didn’t have a good impression of these vampires lying on the people, sucking blood, and feeding on the flesh and blood of the people.
But the other party was deliberately trying to please him, and Lidya Su would not show off his face.
One by one nodded in response.
The president walked out of the crowd, with a smile on his face, and personally introduced the guests in the banquet hall to Su Xiao.
This is the Secretary of Energy, that is the Secretary of Defense, etc…
The elites who were introduced were all smiling and shook hands with Su Xiao cordially.
A sumptuous dinner followed.
At the dinner, the president did not mention any content of the transaction, as if it was just to clear Su Xiao’s mind.
After the banquet, Lidya Su returned to his room.
Although the president arranged two rooms for Su Xiao and Goro Takemura.
But Goro Takemura still did not go back to his room, but followed Su Xiao into his room.
After closing the door, he locked it.
And behind the door, a small device was attached.
As long as someone breaks through the door forcefully, they will be blasted in a targeted manner by this device.
Su Xiao closed the curtains, turned on the lights, and sat on the sofa.
He told Takemura the contents of the deal proposed by the president in the limousine.
“Takemura, what do you think?”
Goro Takemura replied without hesitation: “Boss, no matter what you do, I will support you unconditionally.”
Lidya Su smiled.
Takemura has been like this since he joined Dawn Military Company.
He seemed out of place with other people in the company.
This also led to other people’s unfavorable impression of Zhucun.
I feel like this guy only knows how to flatter others.
But Su Xiao knew that Zhucun was not actually a cunning villain who wanted to flatter others.
It’s just that he was deeply brainwashed by Bushido.
“What I want is not your loyalty, I’m asking for your opinion.”
Takemura Goro was silent for a while.
“My personal opinion is that I don’t agree with agreeing to a deal with the president.”
Even Takemura felt that this deal was not a good deal.
“Well, tell me the reason.”
Takemura Goro thought for a while and said.
