Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Wei Yenwu's hands fell limply to his sides, and he slowly sat down.

He started muttering something to himself.

A daughter should be born with Swire.

If Swire were his niece.

They say things like, "Why are other people's kids so good?"

Our attention returns to the scene of the massacre.

The businessmen, unaware that the entire event was being broadcast Lungmen, were still making wild promises and empty boasts.

One said they'd give 1 billion Lungmen Dollar, the other said 10 billion Lungmen Dollar.

Their incessant chatter, coupled with Chen Huijie's wailing, made it impossible to understand what they were saying.

With the intention of serving them, Luo Chen stepped forward and began to put on a show the moment the live broadcast signal came in.

"Chen Huijie, don't be so stubborn."

"Victims, you must hold on! The main force of the Lungmen Guard Department is on its way."

"The Reunion Movement, right, the Reunion Movement, go and rescue them!"

"What? You're saying you don't want to save these murderers?"

"You can't think like that. Lungmen is a society governed by the rule of law. They murdered Talulah, and they should be punished by the law, not by thugs."

"And they're even planning to hire you to rescue them. The people of Talulah can't be brought back to life. You should think about tomorrow."

"We should still focus on making money. As for the legal issues they've committed, the Lungmen Guard Department will handle them."

In front of the live broadcast camera, Luo Chen earnestly persuaded the Reunion Movement to go down and rescue people.

The onlookers in Lungmen initially believed that the Reunion Movement's inaction in the face of death was perfectly justified, but when Director Swire urged them to help, wasn't that moral blackmail?

However, when they heard that the businessmen were willing to hire them at high prices, they all felt that Swire said made sense.

Making money and venting anger are not mutually exclusive.

They believed that Director Swire would surely give everyone justice.

These criminals will certainly not escape final judgment, so why doesn't the Reunion Movement take this opportunity to make more money?

In front of the entire Lungmen, I don't believe they would dare to go back on their word.

If they were to truly change their minds, they believed that Director Swire, who was helping the crumbling Great Xia, would surely be able to uphold justice.

A Columbia businessman with nowhere to run slid in and landed on his knees in front of Swire:

"Save me! If you save me, I'm willing to give all my shares in Columbia Investment Bank to the Reunion Movement."

Luo Chen gave a wink to the Reunion Movement behind him, indicating that this was a good offer.

The Reunion Movement members behind Luo Chen immediately stepped forward, dragged him into their ranks, and arranged for two people to help him sign the contract.

Someone escapes from hell, and immediately others follow suit.

Then several more people knelt down in front of Luo Chen and the Reunion Movement members:

"I'm willing to offer one billion Lungmen Dollar. Our Lungmen Branch Group is willing to form a joint venture with the Reunion Movement, transferring half of our shares."

Anyway, it's all just talk, but the senior executives of these companies, and even some chairmen and general managers, go straight for the toughest measures.

We used to negotiate labor issues with the Reunion Movement, but now we don't negotiate anymore. We'll just give you half the shares. We're brothers with the Reunion Movement.

Luo Chen was quite satisfied with these guys who were just talking big:

"As the Director of the Lungmen Guard Department, I am willing to stand with all the people of this land to witness your oath."

"You voluntarily offered one billion Lungmen Dollar and half of the shares in the Lungmen branch to ask the Reunion Movement to set aside past grievances and save your life, is that right?"

The kneeling corporate executive didn't understand the significance of those words and thought Swire was just making empty promises.

He immediately placed his hand on his chest and swore an oath:

"I am absolutely volunteering. I am volunteering to offer half of my shares in exchange for the Reunion Movement's assistance."

"Very good."

Luo Chen waved his hand, instructing the Reunion Movement to send them to sign the contract.

Two groups of people escaped from the Reunion Movement, and other fleeing people also flocked to the area.

They offered all sorts of outrageous prices, begging the Reunion Movement to lend them a hand.

In order to get their prices taken seriously, these businessmen even started fighting over their money on the spot.

"I am willing to transfer two factories to the Reunion Movement."

"I'm willing to transfer three."

"Our entire family business can be transferred!"

It's all just talk anyway, let's all have fun and that's it.

Preserving your life is the most important thing.

Everyone was running in one direction, which naturally attracted Chen Huijie's attention.

She's going to wipe them all out today; how can she let them escape?

So Chen Huijie plunged into the crowd and immediately began to wreak havoc.

Her provocation only accelerated the involution of those ahead of her.

Some even feared death and directly promised to abandon the company and give it to the Reunion Movement.

Luo Chen naturally gave priority to letting such a generous person pass.

Another seven or eight minutes passed.

Chen Huijie has already killed more than two hundred people.

Luo Chen realized that it was about time, and if he let her continue killing, there would be fewer fat sheep for him to fleece.

So they let Kyu and FrostNova, who had been watching from the shadows, make their move.

However, the two of them weren't really fighting; instead, they were holding Chen Huijie and flying a kite, pretending to be having a back-and-forth fight.

Once the merchants who had pledged their allegiance relaxed slightly, the two immediately adopted a defensive posture, forcing them to continuously raise their prices in order to escape.

They maintained a delicate distance between Chen Huijie and the fleeing crowd.

That's all!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Lungmen, and indeed the entire land.

Whether it's an international company or a local company in Lungmen.

All parties pledged to transfer the majority of their benefits to the Reunion Movement on a completely autonomous and voluntary basis.

The Reunion Movement, setting aside past grievances, saved the group of murderers who had participated in the assassination of the Reunion Movement.

Only after the last person was Reunion Movement did the main force of the Lungmen Guard Department arrive belatedly.

If it weren't for Chief Inspector Swire's quick thinking and ability to resolve the conflict between the Reunion Movement and the businessmen, these businessmen would certainly have been killed by Superintendent Chen.

Under Director Swire's calm and composed command, all the turmoil and crises in Lungmen were resolved.

Reporters from all directions have now completely surrounded Rebirth Home.

Security convoys from various companies, which came to pick up their bosses, have also arrived.

The merchants, now free from the threat of death, gathered together, exchanged glances, and were clearly prepared to renege on their debts.

However, the group didn't immediately turn hostile.

After all, they are still on the territory of the Reunion Movement.

However, the necessary connections still need to be made in advance.

"Gentlemen, we must be of one mind."

"It's certain that what happened to Talulah has nothing to do with us."

"And the agreement we were forced to sign just now is just empty talk under duress, it doesn't count at all."

"..."

However, as soon as they stepped out of the Reunion Movement's office building, they were instantly surrounded by reporters with their cameras and microphones.

"Sir, the agreement and commitments you voluntarily signed are now being disseminated in major media outlets."

What are your thoughts on this?

"Is your company planning to pursue further cooperation with the Reunion Movement?"

The businessman, when questioned by reporters, was dumbfounded on the spot:

"Ah! How did you know?"

"I was just joking around."

The moment the words "just kidding" were uttered, officers from the Lungmen Guard Department, tasked with maintaining order, rushed over and handcuffed the man's wrists.

"Sir, you are currently suspected of murdering Talulah. Please come with us to the Lungmen Guard Department for questioning."

Lungmen Guard Department officers escorted the businessman who made the inflammatory remarks into an armored vehicle.

At the same time.

Chen Huijie, who had already been tied up like a rice dumpling, was also carried by more than a dozen police officers and thrown into the bomb disposal vehicle.

Before long, the armored vehicle, weighing more than ten tons, began to shake violently.

What happened inside is intriguing.

After the first businessman was locked in a car with Chen Huijie.

The businessmen who came out later recalled the fear that Chen Huijie had instilled in them.

His eyes suddenly became vacant, his face ashen, and he looked utterly hopeless.

Then another reporter interviewed them:

"Sir, did you voluntarily sign this agreement and make these promises merely empty words made in a moment of desperation, or do you genuinely intend to cooperate with the Reunion Movement?"

"I... I..." The businessman being interviewed stared blankly at the constantly shaking armored vehicle for a moment before slightly opening his lips.

His shoulders trembled slightly as he spoke.

"I, I'm not just talking, I really want to cooperate with the Reunion Movement."

"I didn't murder Talulah, they did it all!"

"Yes, it was the guy who got dragged onto the bus who did it."

"They plotted to kill Talulah, but I wasn't involved at all. You should investigate him."

The other businessmen behind him wore increasingly exaggerated expressions of fear.

"Yes, yes, they did it. Arrest them if you want."

"We really weren't involved."

"Mom... I don't want to die!"

"Please help me! I don't want anything anymore, I'll give it all to the Reunion Movement!"

"Don't ask, we really did it voluntarily."

Chapter 249 Who says loyal ministers can't hold military power?

At the same time.

Luo Chen also gave an interview to the media.

Swire and incorruptible demeanor was broadcast on all televisions in Lungmen via cameras from various media outlets.

This also showed that, in the eyes of the intelligence agencies of various countries and forces in Terra, from this day forward, everyone in this land knows that a new political star is rising.

"Director Swire, thanks to your mediation, the Reunion Movement and many business representatives from Lungmen have successfully put aside their differences and jointly subdued the serial killer."
