Chapter 1146 Bored With Their LivesThe Vice President of India also looked around in surprise. “What is going on? A rebellion?!”He waved his arms angrily. He wanted the military police to drive the crowd away, but several of the military police beside him couldn’t help but join the group and line up in front of the bank next to him.
“What exactly is going on?!”
“Your Excellency Vice President, the Prime Minister has just issued a banknote abandonment order today! If we don’t go to the bank to exchange banknotes, the money in our hands will become waste!” One of the vice president’s entourage anxiously showed the vice president the news on his phone.
It turned out that Indian Prime Minister Dimo had just announced that in order to cut off the chain of criminal organizations’ funds and to combat counterfeit currency and money laundering, he decided to abolish the two largest denominations of 500 rupees and 1,000 rupees and replace them with newly issued banknotes of 500 rupees and 2,000 rupees.
It would take effect immediately from the moment of the announcement.
Everyone could go to the bank to exchange the old currency into new currency, but the exchange period was only for one month.
After a month, the old currency would completely expire.
In other words, if you couldn’t exchange your old banknotes for new banknotes within a month, your cash would become worthless.
This was devastating for Indians who were still used to large-scale use of banknotes.
So, everyone stopped working and made a beeline for the bank to exchange their banknotes.
“…I’m going to line up, too!” The vice president’s associate ran away after he finished speaking.
The military and police personnel next to the Vice President all ran away, leaving only the Vice President and a few officials, as well as a group of people from the Huaxia Empire.
More and more Indians flocked to the door of the bank near them and used all their strength to squeeze inside the door.
The bank’s new cash reserves simply weren’t enough, and only a certain number of people could complete the exchange for a certain amount of new currency.
Everyone fought in order to get a position in front, and some even took out knives…
India was a country with a large population. It had even surpassed the Huaxia Empire and became the country with the largest population on the Blue Star Planet.
At that time, the rejection order revealed the power of a huge population.
In front of the astonishingly large Indian population, Speaker Long and Gu Nianzhi, along with the group of visitors from the Huaxia Empire, were like fragile boats swaying in the ocean.
“How dare Dimo do this to our money! Is he trying to kill our livelihood?!”
“You can only exchange two thousand rupees a day! How can we survive?!”
Someone was roaring loudly in the crowd, and soon, the angry and irrational mob began to attack the bank.
The bank wasn’t intimidated either. They called the police while letting their own security guards, armed with guns, come out to maintain order.
Someone suddenly picked up a brick and bashed it into the head of a security guard with a gun!
The man fell to the ground unconscious without even saying a word. His gun was snatched from him amid the chaos. Someone fired several shots into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The scene was suddenly chaotic.
“The Vice President is over there!”
“Find him! Get him!”
“Yes! Grab it and ask Dimo! Why the hell did he make our money worthless?!”
A group of people suddenly noticed that the Vice President of India was there and rushed towards him while shouting.
“Be careful!” Seeing that the situation was bad, Speaker Long quickly asked his bodyguard to grab the Vice President of India.
He couldn’t just watch the angry mob bludgeon the Indian Vice President to death with bricks…
At that moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the crowd, and bullets were fired toward where they were standing.
“Stay down!”
“Stay down!”
“Stay down!”
The security guard yelled as he pulled out a gun to fight back while lying down.
At that time, Special Assistant Yang rushed in from behind and using his body as a physical shield to protect Speaker Long. He pressed Speaker Long to the ground.
A bullet flew by, and blood spurted out. He groaned but continued to shield Speaker Long with his body.
When Special Assistant Yang rushed in and threw Speaker Long down, he naturally pushed Gu Nianzhi aside.
Rong Mingxing gritted her teeth as she followed the instructions given by Special Assistant Yang, and, following his example, she threw Gu Nianzhi down from behind to shield her with her body.
It’s not that she wasn’t afraid, but that Special Assistant Yang had instructed her to do it. In this unfamiliar place, she had no choice…
Gu Nianzhi felt that Rong Mingxing, who was pressed on her back, was trembling, and said, “Xiao Rong, don’t worry about me, protect yourself. I’m not afraid…”
Rong Mingxing’s nose twitched, and she said in a choked voice, “Don’t move! I’m fine!”
A group of Indians, who were seemingly unafraid of death and only wanted money, rushed over again and seeing that they were about to step on them, the security guards beside them had no choice but to fire their shots at the sky again to prevent the crowd that was about to rush over.
In order to avoid being stepped on, Rong Mingxing hugged Gu Nianzhi and quickly rolled to the side of the square.
At that moment, the intensive gunfire sounded again, and Special Assistant Yang raised his head to shout, “Protect Speaker Long! Protect the Vice President!”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the security personnel quickly formed a human wall to protect the important figures and ran towards the mall.
Rong Mingxing jumped up from the ground and followed those people into the mall.
Gu Nianzhi felt the force on her back lighten and looked up. Before she could move, several people in the crowd started rushing towards her.
Oops!
Gu Nianzhi knew that she was in danger, so she immediately got up from the ground, then sprinted towards the mall.
She ran in a zigzag-shaped route through the crowd to prevent herself from being targeted by the people or a sniper.
But just when she was about to run into the gate of the shopping center, the gate closed in front of her!
“Open the door! Open the door! I am Gu Nianzhi!” Her heart sank, and she rushed to pat the door desperately as she shouted hoarsely, “Speaker Long! I am Nianzhi! Gu Nianzhi!”
Perhaps it was because the soundproofing on the door was too good, or maybe that the people inside had moved too far in, but, at that time, no one opened the door to let her in.
The people behind her were getting closer, and there was the sound of gunshots.
She gritted her teeth, turned, and continued to run to the other door of the shopping center.
But the other door closed with a bang before she got there.
Because the people there were agitated by the gunfire, in addition to attacking the bank, they also began to attack the shopping center.
So, the shopping center chose to close all its doors.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to turn around and run again.
Those dark faces swayed around her, and when they found that she was a single woman running alone, they pulled her arm and tore her clothes. Soon, her clothing was being pulled by someone. One sleeve was torn off, revealing her fair and delicate skin.
Several lascivious Indian men’s eyes lit up, and they immediately became excited.
The people chasing her slowed down and giggled as they watched Gu Nianzhi being chased by the group of ravenous Indian men.
On top of a small building not far away, a tall and handsome man had been calmly holding a telescope while observing Gu Nianzhi’s situation.
When he saw that she was separated from Speaker Long and was being chased by a group of Indian men, he suddenly flew into a rage. “Shit! They must be bored with their lives!”
He waved his hand. “Sniper, get ready! Kill all of the men chasing the target over there!”
Then he put on a mask, picked up a semi-automatic machine gun, and jumped down from the third-floor window.
“Boss!” The group of people in the room were startled. “If you are gone, who will be in charge?!”
“Carry out the mission as planned!” The man waved his hand and issued the command into his Bluetooth headset.
Rushing through the crowd, he ran to Gu Nianzhi like Moses, trying to lead his people out of Egypt through the separated Red Sea.
Soon, the Indian men who were chasing Gu Nianzhi fell to the ground one by one after being shot in the head.
…
Before long, the entirety of New Delhi was filled with riots.
Countless people rushed through the streets, setting fires, looting, and smashing cars as they shouted and vented their anger.
Thick black smoke fumed, burnt cars and motorcycles blocked the road, and the streets were full of blood.
When Indian Prime Minister Dimo learned about the chaos in New Delhi, he immediately issued a strict order: the entire city of New Delhi would have its power, network, and communications cut off!
That would last until the riot ended and order was restored.
…
Gu Nianzhi ran through the streets of New Delhi aimlessly. Just as she was about to collapse to the ground out of breath, a hand stretched out and pulled her into an abandoned warehouse.
Gu Nianzhi was a nervous wreck on the verge of losing it, and thinking that it was a thug again, she couldn’t stop screaming.
But the man’s hand blocked her mouth.
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes filled with tears when she got a whiff of the person’s familiar scent.
“Professor He!” Almost crying, she rushed over and hugged the man.
This person was He Zhichu.
He kissed Gu Nianzhi’s forehead. “Don’t be afraid, Nianzhi. We have been protecting you. Take this, stay here, and don’t run around.”
He Zhichu handed a pistol to Gu Nianzhi. “Kill whoever comes in, and don’t show mercy.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded repeatedly and held the gun tightly.
“Professor He, why are you here?” Gu Nianzhi wiped a tear away and glanced up at He Zhichu. His big eyes were wet, like those of a deer. He appeared panicked but harmless.
He Zhichu caressed her head, gritted his teeth, then told Gu Nianzhi his and Huo Shaoheng’s plan.
“…Someone wants to harm you, and we want to catch him red-handed. Nianzhi, can you bear it?”
After hearing what He Zhichu said, Gu Nianzhi sighed deeply and started crying again out of joy. “Really? Professor He and Huo Shao will come to protect me?! It’s alright! I’m not afraid! Why would I be afraid when you guys are here?! You should’ve told me earlier, so I could be mentally prepared!”
“If I told you earlier, and you accidentally revealed your knowledge, the other party wouldn’t have shown up.” He Zhichu grimaced. “We wanted to end it once and for all, so we didn’t want to get stabbed in the back.”
But getting it done once and for all came at a price.
This price depended on whether or not Gu Nianzhi was willing to bear it.
Following this journey, He Zhichu had decided that as long as Gu Nianzhi showed the slightest hesitation, he would take her away immediately and end his cooperation with Huo Shaoheng.
