586: bleed

“And I, of course, didn't kill anyone.”

“But he…”

“He will kill himself.”

The audience suddenly realized that Zhang Qi's voice was no longer so frantic, but had become unusually calm and rational.

Was all this just a play he was acting?

Repheus was also watching the live broadcast, and he noticed that the wound on John Zhang's arm had stopped bleeding.

Although he saw this, he clearly heard Zhang Qi say, “He might not last much longer.” What did that mean?

He felt confused and began to ponder the reason behind it.

Then, he suddenly understood something.

When he realized this, his face changed drastically!

“So that's it!”

“It turns out it was like this!”

Not only did Repheus understand, but United States Police Department Chief Qiao Qi also figured out Zhang Qi's intention.

“Damn it!”

“It's that experiment!”

On the bullet screen, some people gradually saw what Zhang Qi's actions meant.

“Although the bleeding has stopped, the sound of dripping water hasn't stopped!”

“He's going to scare himself to death!”

“There was an experiment like this before, where an uninjured person scared himself to death in this situation!”

People were frantically sending such bullet screen messages, but John Zhang couldn't see these messages at all!

He also didn't know that the wound on his arm had stopped bleeding!

Seeing Zhang Qi about to leave, he completely panicked.

“Damn it!”

“Don't leave!”

John Zhang shouted like this, twisting frantically while tied to the chair.

But it was completely useless.

The chair made a "karakala" shaking sound.

Zhang Qi's previous words echoed in his mind: "You are bleeding now. After three hours, you will go into shock due to excessive blood loss, and after three hours and fifteen minutes, you will die due to shock and excessive blood loss!"

“Help me stop the bleeding!”

“Zhang Qi!”

He roared loudly and desperately.

But the only response was the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

It came from the pitch-black corridor, and it was getting further and further away!

“Ah!!” John Zhang roared helplessly.

But roaring was meaningless. At this moment, he could only see the clock placed above the computer.

It was already ten o'clock, and he had at most two hours left!

He started to panic.

“Help!”

“Help!”

He shouted loudly, but the only response seemed to be an echo.

Time passed by minute by minute. In the live broadcast, on the bullet screen, most people were reminding him that his wound was no longer dripping blood, but his expression was getting worse and worse!

On the other side, at the United States Police Department.

Chief Qiao Qi slammed the table heavily, making a loud noise.

“Damn it!”

“Where is he now!? We must not let him die on the live broadcast!”

“Cut off the live broadcast, or find him!”

But no one knew what to do.

They could only watch John Zhang's face become paler and paler, and his eyes become more and more frightened!

This will bring nightmares to countless people!

This also proves the incompetence of the New York Police Department!

They can't even save such a person!

Let alone catching people, they can't even save people!

Repheus was also frowning at this moment, sorting through all possible clues in his mind, but he couldn't think of anything.

At the FBI, Keith was pondering what Zhang Qi had said.

Keith was also concerned about the life and death of this hostage, but at this moment, he was more concerned about what Zhang Qi said: "When you focus your attention on me, aren't you worried about problems in other places?"

“This identity as a judge is just a disguise to deceive you!”

He knew things were not that simple!

What Zhang Qi wanted to do was not just this!

This John Zhang is just the beginning!

Meanwhile, in China.

A Qi, Xiao Xiao, and others had also been following this live broadcast.

The constant reversals and arrangements suddenly made them feel that the familiar feeling seemed to be returning…

Time flowed by minute by minute, and the scene before them made all the viewers watching the live broadcast feel extremely cruel.

However, they were helpless and could only watch all this helplessly, their hearts filled with tension and unease. The education they received made them condemn their own incompetence, and this incompetence was transformed into anger towards the United States Police Department.

On the bullet screen of the live broadcast, people were venting their anger at their own incompetence, pointing the finger at the New York Police Department.

“Waste! We pay so much tax money, is this all you can do?”

“Can we only watch him die without doing anything?”

“We don't want to see such a result, don't say we are powerless!”

But insults and anger cannot solve the problem.

They clearly saw that John Zhang's face was getting paler and paler, and his breathing was becoming increasingly difficult. His physical strength seemed to be gradually depleted, which was extreme fear of death. His brain kept telling him that blood was being lost little by little, and the neurons did not send a signal that the wound had healed. The self-healing factors and immune cells in his body began to attack each other, leading to rapid internal environmental disorder and symptoms similar to fever.

The white blood cell count dropped sharply, his body temperature rose, and shock was imminent.

Chief Qiao Qi witnessed this scene, his mouth slightly open. As the Chief, he had no means to deal with this matter at this moment. This sense of powerlessness filled his heart with guilt.

“Perhaps I am not suitable for this position at all.”

“I was completely unaware of what was happening in the bureau.”

Now he has realized that Zhang Qi is very likely to have been wronged. If he had known this earlier, he would not have held yesterday's press conference. But he has been kept in the dark, so he needs to confirm Zhang Qi's guilt even more, otherwise it means that Councilor Jonathan is the real culprit who framed him.

Such a result is unacceptable to him or to people at a higher level. But if John Zhang really dies here, then even if the evidence is perfect, the citizens will not believe them.

Zhang Qi, with his own strength, has forced them into this situation!

He is using the big picture to pressure people, forcing them to move forward step by step!

And this is by no means the result they want!

Who is he!?

At this moment, Chief Qiao Qi is thinking, if Zhang Qi was really framed, then his real identity is Zhang Qi himself. That is to say, he is really from China?

How could a chinese person have such abilities?

Or is this just a coincidence?

He was extremely anxious and had no idea what to do next.

Meanwhile, at the FBI, the top brass were already holding a meeting in the office building. This was a dark conference room, and although seven or eight figures could be vaguely seen, their true faces could not be seen.

“This person named Zhang Qi must be found.”

“The results of the previous stumbling block plan were not ideal, and we need some elites to deal with this Zhang Qi. His danger level is too high.”

“According to the portrait analysis, this guy has a very high IQ, especially skilled in calculation and performance, and is surprisingly good at psychological control. Including the Hacker technology and fighting skills he showed before… To be honest, even our best trained agent Jason Bourne cannot do this.”

“In that case, let's gather elites from all walks of life. This Zhang Qi, if he cannot be used by us…”

“No, if he resists arrest, kill him directly! As long as there is any sign of resistance, immediately suppress it!”

These figures communicated in this way, determining the basic tone of the operation against Zhang Qi: if he resists arrest after being found, kill him immediately, regardless of life or death!

Indeed, as they said, Zhang Qi is too dangerous!

Especially in this live broadcast incident, his enlightening remarks, if he had said just one more sentence, might have caused chaos now!

He seemed to be deliberately maintaining the final stability, testing the edge of social order collapse. This proves that Zhang Qi does indeed have such an ability!

In addition to his last sentence: "When you focus your attention on me, aren't you worried about other problems in other places?" Combined with these, they couldn't help but worry.

If it's just for money, then for these big shots, money is irrelevant, and one or two hundred million will not have much impact. But if it is to disrupt order, then it touches their bottom line. They will never allow such a thing to happen!

“Establish the Black Rose plan. This is also a good opportunity. Gather elites from all walks of life, find him as soon as possible, and then kill him!”

…

In China, A Qi and others were also watching the live broadcast at this time and discussing it enthusiastically in the group.

Xiang Shanmo: "Don't you think the last sentence left by Zhang Qi is a bit familiar?"

Jin Tianqin: "It does look very similar. This sense of contrast gives me a strong sense of déjà vu… But what exactly does he want to do?"

A Qi: "No way… Although I also feel a bit of that meaning, I still can't believe this would be Su Yue."

In Italy, Gao Xiang listened to the last sentence in the live broadcast room and did not move for a long time. He only felt that his heart was hit hard. He originally thought this was just a madman's carnival, but he didn't expect it to be a hoax! This brought him the nightmare of Su Yue!

“Is it him!?”

“This Zhang Qi… is it Su Yue!?”

Xiao Xiao was of course also watching this live broadcast. When she heard the last voice, her eyes couldn't help but get wet. Although she knew in her heart that this would not be Su Yue, the sense of déjà vu made her suddenly recall the feeling Su Yue brought her. She wanted to share this feeling with others, but in the end, she said nothing. She just opened the ticket booking interface and wanted to go to the United States to see for herself, find Zhang Qi, stand in front of him, and personally confirm… Is he Su Yue or not!

Not only Xiao Xiao, but Lu Luan was also watching this live broadcast. After being tricked by Su Yue, Lu Luan now almost always acts alone. But his personality is not someone who can live alone. It's just that now he doesn't want to have anything to do with those who don't trust him. However, looking at the scene in the live broadcast, he recalled the situation in Guangzhou at that time. He began to miss those days a little.

But at the moment, he carefully recalled what Zhang Qi had just said, and secretly thought: "This person… could it be Su Yue?"

“No… impossible… With that kind of explosion, there’s no way he could have survived.”

On December 8, the New York Police Department was once again the focus of the media and held a reporter press conference.

United States Police Department Chief Qiao Qi announced his decision to resign at the press conference. He heavily admitted his negligence in his work and his insufficient response in emergency situations. Although there were boos at the scene, Chief Qiao Qi still insisted on reading his speech.

“The current situation is my dereliction of duty as Chief no matter what. I hope everyone will not lose confidence in the New York Police Department because of this,” he said sincerely.

“Criminals will not continue to be arrogant. In this situation, we must unite and not give criminals any chance…” he continued, while expressing deep apologies for John Zhang's death, and after apologizing solemnly again, he announced his resignation as Chief.

He bowed deeply, almost at a ninety-degree angle, to apologize to the citizens. However, people did not buy it, believing that a mere bow could not solve the problem.

Reporters' questions came in like a tide, about John Zhang's body, the family's reaction, the real situation of Councilor Jonathan, and the lost items mentioned by Zhang Qi, etc. Chief Qiao Qi felt powerless in the face of these questions, but he stuck to his bottom line and did not disclose more information.

Meanwhile, high-level officials from the FBI and CIA in Washington D.C. were meeting to discuss the capture of Zhang Qi. They met in a conference room in the White House, including the heads of the FBI and CIA, as well as the heads of several special operations teams.

These people sat together, but remained silent. They had already discussed countermeasures last night, and now they were just collectively announcing the results.

FBI head Keith stood up, straightened his suit, nodded to the others, and walked out of the conference room.

The door creaked open, and countless flashlights illuminated his figure. Keith stood calmly on the podium and said forcefully: "Hello, reporters and friends. I am the special person in charge of the FBI. Regarding the major incident that happened yesterday, we have joined multiple special operations teams to start investigating Zhang Qi and conducting anti-corruption searches on Councilor Jonathan."

“We have established the Rose Plan to deal with threats from all sides. And the beginning of this plan is aimed at this chinese prisoner named Zhang Qi,” he continued, “We believe that within seven days, we will be able to find Zhang Qi's whereabouts and bring him to justice.”

Keith's speech was full of confidence and unquestionable power. However, in the face of the reporters' endless questions, he did not continue to argue, but turned and left.

He knew that media reports were controlled, and what people called freedom was not true freedom. Although Zhang Qi had some impact, order had not collapsed, and these people still held on to their United States dream.

Keith's way of thinking was completely different from that of New York Police Department Chief Qiao Qi.

After returning to the conference room, he looked at everyone present and said: "Everyone, temporarily allocate personnel to solve the current problem. Zhang Qi's activities in New York may cause unpredictable effects. Our Investigation Bureau will try to simplify things."
