Chapter 563: Cowardly Scoundrels

The Chairman stopped pacing, slammed his right hand into his left palm, looked up at Assistant Wan, and said:

"Do not spread the news that Ye Su is still alive for now."

However, the Chairman wasn't too worried about this. After all, even if it spread from him, people had to be willing to believe it, right? You can never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"During this time, try to search for criminal evidence on these people, and do your best to protect the safety of the research institute's personnel. They must not become victims of political struggle; these people are the treasures of the country."

Upon hearing the Chairman's words, Assistant Wan went out to arrange and implement these matters. The Chairman stood in the study and let out a long sigh.

"It is time for a reckoning. This time, I will not be lenient again."

Early the next morning, the entrance to the research institute was already crowded with people. They were all grateful citizens who had received the news; the zombie virus reagent gave them hope for a new life.

And this hope came from the research institute, so these citizens came spontaneously.

Lin Fei and the others knew that today would be a critical moment for the research institute, so they all got up early. Some even had two dark circles under their eyes, clearly having suffered from insomnia the night before.

When it was time for work in the morning, Minister Li brought prosecutors and some grassroots police to the entrance of the research institute. As for the other ministers, they were all silently supporting from behind; after all, having so many top officials show up at once looked suspicious no matter how you viewed it.

Seeing the entrance of the research institute blocked by people, Minister Li frowned immediately. He didn't expect the Chairman to find so many unruly people to disgust him.

Little did he know that these people were all enthusiastic citizens who had come spontaneously. Seeing the road blocked, Minister Li said:

"You are obstructing law enforcement right now. Do you believe I will have all of you unruly people arrested?"

This sentence instantly angered the crowd.

"Who the hell are you calling unruly? Such a high-ranking official, how can you say such biting words? Isn't the food and clothing you enjoy provided by us?"

"Exactly! And saying we're obstructing law enforcement? The road is so wide, can't I even stand here? Are you the only one allowed to stand here?"

As the public indignation grew, people's words became harsher, and they even dug up Minister Li's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Minister Li felt his lungs were about to explode. He took a deep breath and said:

"I won't lower myself to your level, you unruly people. If you continue to block the road and obstruct law enforcement, I will have you arrested!"

At this moment, a male voice in the crowd shouted: "Look, he still won't change his tone, calling us unruly people over and over. Since that's the case, let's teach him how to speak."

As he spoke, several cups of mung bean milk flew from the crowd, exploding directly on Minister Li's head and drenching him. The sour, rancid smell almost made him vomit.

"Quick, catch them for me!"

Before Minister Li's voice had even faded, a sky full of hidden weapons came flying. Especially those hard-soled leather shoes, which directly gave Minister Li a bump.

The man who hit him felt a bit regretful that he wasn't wearing Chelsea boots; he really wanted to see if that long, sharp toe could pierce him through.

The dense barrage of smelly shoes and socks made the law enforcement officers shrink back; the area ahead was definitely a land of biochemical weapons.

"Open fire! Kill these unruly people! I will take responsibility if anything happens."

Seeing the embarrassed and angry Minister Li, the law enforcement officers hesitated. Seeing that no one was listening to his orders, Minister Li said in a fit of rage:

"Do you not want to work anymore? Open fire and shoot those rioters, or I'll skin you alive!"

The law enforcement captain helplessly fired a shot into the sky. Upon hearing the gunshot, the crowd scattered and fled instantly, leaving only a messy ground behind.

Minister Li walked up to the law enforcement officers and slapped one of them.

"I told you to shoot those rioters, what are you doing? Why didn't you open fire? What is the country paying you for?"

At this moment, this video was uploaded directly to the internet, instantly causing public outrage. All of Minister Li's relatives were dug up by omnipotent netizens. There must have been the Chairman's help in this; otherwise, how could anyone find the information of Minister Li's family members?

And this video was, of course, uploaded by the personnel of the research institute, for no other reason than to vent their anger.

Minister Li, whose anger had not yet subsided, arrived at the entrance of the research institute and found the gate tightly closed. Looking at the security guard calmly eating a melon inside, he said angrily:

"Open the door!"

The security guard was also a stubborn one and directly cursed: "You tell me to open it, so I open it? Who are you?"

Minister Li was so angered by this guy that he almost vomited blood. In a fit of heat, he kicked the door directly. The security guard saw that he actually dared to kick his gate.

Did he not know that his job was to watch this door? He actually dared to provoke him, so he directly raised his gun and aimed it at Minister Li.

Looking at the pitch-black muzzle, Minister Li suddenly felt cowardly. The hot blood in his brain cooled down instantly, and all the heat in his body flowed downwards.

Minister Li, with a blank mind, felt a shiver through his body. He reacted instantly and hurriedly ran back.

The security guard looked at the wet patch on the ground, his face turning blue and white. It turned out this guy had actually come to his territory to assert sovereignty.

Watching Minister Li's back as he ran away with his legs clamped together, the security guard spat on the ground.

"Pah, cowardly scoundrel!" ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
