Chapter 972: Apology and Compensation
The thunder clouds in the sky seemed to be angered by the actions of the security personnel. The rumbling sound became louder, and the speed of lightning and lightning shuttled faster. Thunder and lightning struck down continuously, without even any interval in between.
Under the clear sky, lightning flashed, making everyone next to him unable to open their eyes.
The senior politicians in the parliament building showed a look of fear when they saw this scene. Is this thunder and lightning really the will of heaven?
Lucas could scream at first, but later, there was no sound, and his entire body was charred by lightning. Then, the lightning stopped, but there was no news about the thunder cloud.
Suddenly, an extremely thick lightning struck Lucas's body directly, and the sound resounded around, making everyone unable to help but cover their ears.
After the lightning struck down, the thunder clouds in the sky instantly dissipated, leaving only Lucas and a few security personnel who were coroned by the lightning, proving what had just happened.
Even though the thunder clouds disappeared, there was still silence in front of the building square, and everyone was still quiet, afraid that it would attract thunder clouds. Until a few minutes later, when the sky was still clear, some people began to move, and some sat directly on the ground to relieve the huge stimulation they had just received.
The first aid staff who had already arrived at the scene then carried the stretcher and the emergency equipment, and slowly approached Lucas.
At this moment, Lucas was completely chopped into a charred shape, and even the top of his head with few hair was still covered in blood.
The first responders took a step and observed the sky. After coming to Lucas, they conducted some examinations. Only then did they see that Lucas' eyes were always wide open, and there seemed to be regret inside.
After a series of inspections, they shook their heads and it was completely helpless. If they could survive under the bombardment of so many lightning, they would be Superman.
"It's no help, please inform the funeral home to come and recruit people." The emergency personnel shouted into the building, took the stretcher, and returned to the ambulance.
The silent scene became noisy and there was constant discussion. Some people approached Lucas curiously. When they saw Lucas's charred face and wide eyes, they were all trembling in fear and did not dare to take another look.
The senior politicians in the parliament building also monitored or shot live videos by others. When they saw Lucas's tragic situation, they were filled with fear. Now they were a little unbelievable. Lucas, who had just held a meeting with them, was struck to death by lightning.
They now had Lucas' arrogant look at the meeting, and his disdainful look in the news interview.
The senior politician who had asked someone to save Lucas before looked at the screen and opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say. His mind was blank, with only those lightning that represented death.
After a while, he opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "What's going on? Is it really the will of God? Is it because the government has concealed some secrets?"
"I don't know either. The only thing I know now is that the world is about to change." Another senior politician next to him said with his lips trembling.
"So, will we still release the statement about Zhou Yu's assassination?" the third man asked with his eyes blankly.
At the meeting today, they also discussed the assassination of Zhou Yu to show the attitude of the parliament. However, in the statement, they firmly believed that this was a slander. The evidence, including the authenticity of David's confession video, still needs to be investigated.
"The cancellation is released, let the wise commander solve this matter. We should not interfere with it." The first senior politician shook his head and said.
"Yes, I agree with this opinion," the other senior executives echoed, and a long exhalation kept coming out.
They don’t know how the lightning came about, so it’s better to be more at ease for the sake of their own lives.
The full video of the lightning was posted online and was spreading enthusiastically. Many people think that Lucas deserves his sins, which is God's punishment, and some people think that even if there is really God, they cannot transcend human laws to punish those who commit crimes.
This view has also been refuted by many people. Now countless evidences prove that the Freedom Foundation directly participated in and planned the assassination of Zhou Yu.
However, a Western power is still pretending to be deaf and dumb, not wanting to admit that the legal protection is always powerful people. This lightning is a warning to them.
The people at the scene told their inner feelings at that time. Thunder and lightning were striking down, and some were fears, fears of nature and the unknown, and they did not dare to move at all. Some people even urinated by lightning.
They said that after this incident, they would never do anything bad in the future because they did not want to face lightning again.
Carl, hiding in the underground fortress, looked at Lucas' death look and his body began to tremble, and his heart was constantly pounding. He finally understood why David pleaded so simply.
Although he is hiding in an underground fortress now, it is still unknown whether he can block lightning. After all, there are many lightning protection devices near the parliament building, but none of them have any effect.
Moreover, can he hide now and stay in the dark underground for the rest of his life? As the president of the Freedom Foundation, his hands are more sinful than Lucas.
Thinking of what David said and what happened to the Zurich Police Station, he thrust the table with his fist, and the labor and capital were also recruited.
A confession like David may also gain a glimmer of hope. If he does not confess, he may be the next person to be scared to death by lightning and ghosts.
However, although he was nominally protected when he entered the underground fortress, on the other hand, he was also under surveillance because all the electronic equipment on him was collected, and there was only one TV in the room.
That bastard David, why didn’t he tell me in advance, it would be great to plead guilty together? He slapped the table again with anger.
"President Carl, what's wrong?" At this time, the guard at the door heard the movement and asked.
Carl's eyes rolled and said, "I want to meet the commander. I have secret information about this thunder and lightning incident."
The underground fortress here is controlled by the military, and the big head soldiers don’t have a mobile phone on them. If they want to announce the fact that they confessed, they can only find an opportunity to get out of the underground fortress.
Less than twenty minutes later, the officers from the underground fort came over and took him out. At the exit, several men in black uniforms took Carl directly to the car and headed towards the commander's white office.
When he arrived at the white office gate, the car stopped for a while and waited for the opening to enter. At this moment, Carl suddenly opened the door and rushed out.
Just after passing through the car window, he saw many waiting media reporters around the scene, so after rushing down, he quickly shouted: "I am Carl, president of the Liberty Foundation. As David said, this assassination against Zhou Yu was instructed by some politicians and consortiums, and we are responsible for the implementation of the plan."
"I originally wanted to plead guilty, but I was taken away by them and locked up in the house. The purpose is to block my mouth. Now I want to plead guilty. I admit that I planned the assassination of Zhou Yu, and Wen Deng's drug trafficking group was also supported by us. I apologize to Zhou Yu and all the injured..."
Before he could speak, he was directly controlled by several men in suits, "Don't arrest me, don't arrest me, I want to announce this fact to the public. Zhou Yu, I was wrong, I will do good deeds in my future..."
Several men in suits blocked his mouth and carried it into the car and entered the white office area. In the car, he kept whining.
The media reporters were immediately excited. The president and vice president of the Freedom Foundation have pleaded guilty. This is big news. Now all the fig leaf is gone.
A team of security personnel at the door stopped all the reporters and wanted them to delete the content they had taken before, but some reporters shook their phones proudly, saying that they had posted the video online.
The video of Carl pleading guilty in front of the white office was uploaded by reporters, which once again made the entire network excited. Now even President Carl has turned against him.
Many netizens said that Carl must have been arrested, but was hiding somewhere. After seeing this lightning, he was scared, so he pleaded guilty.
After Carl was taken into the white office, the commander slapped the table in great anger, wishing he could shoot this guy directly.
Carl said that he was completely scared by lightning. This time, lightning was probably released by Zhou Yu. Joseph, Wenden, and the deaths of several killers in Zurich were related to Zhou Yu. When the lightning occurred, Zhou Yu must be not in Switzerland. Just check it out.
"Do you think we didn't expect this?" The commander threw a tablet over in anger. Carl picked it up and looked at it, and his face changed, "This is impossible, this is impossible, is lightning really the will of heaven? This is impossible."
Because the video on the tablet is playing the video of Zhou Yu holding a press conference and meeting with reporters, and the time above has been converted into American time, which is the time when the lightning incident occurred.
The deaths of many people have more or less relationship with Zhou Yu. As the intelligence department of a major Western power, how could he not know?
So, after the thunder clouds appeared and two thunders were struck, they sent local Swiss intelligence personnel to investigate Zhou Yu's whereabouts. At that time, Zhou Yu was holding a press conference and it was impossible for him to come to the United States to release lightning.
"Do you think that pleading guilt can escape punishment? No, this is just the beginning. You want to plead guilty, right? Then just confess and take him down." The commander's angry eyebrows flew up.
After the release of Carl's confession video, many fans of the God Dog were even more angry and expressed their protests through various means. The relevant departments of China also issued a tougher statement.
Soon, a major Western power held a press conference and relevant departments issued a statement. They had solid evidence. Carl, president of the Freedom Foundation, and David, vice president, planned and carried out the assassination of Zhou Yu and his fans, while the head of a consortium and some politicians were also involved.
They apologized to Zhou Yu and all the victims, and will conduct a detailed investigation of the case in the future, so that the relevant persons involved will be severely punished by law. At the same time, they will seal and investigate the relevant property of the Freedom Foundation and compensate the victims of the incident and Wendeng drug trafficking group.
This assassination caused them to lose all their faces in the Western powers, and made the Freedom Foundation a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted to beat. Even if the Freedom Foundation is not closed now, it may be greatly damaged in the future and will never be as beautiful as before.
In the later time, after repeated negotiations with Zhou Yu and relevant departments of China, they decided to compensate Zhou Yu, the main victim of the incident. The fans and staff who participated in the Daxue Mountain event will receive 500,000 US dollars in compensation, while the families of the victims of the Wendeng drug trafficking group will receive 3 million US dollars in compensation.
The 700 fans and the staff members of the group were 780. Together with the victims of the Wenden Group, a total of 408 million US dollars were compensated. Including Zhou Yu's 200 million US dollars last year, the total amount of compensation was 608 million US dollars.
At the same time, the United States will cancel the Freedom Foundation and hold all relevant personnel involved in the assassination accountable.
During the negotiations, all the fans did not leave Switzerland and stayed at the Zurich Hotel. Zhou Yu was also in the hotel and negotiated with the United States through videos with relevant departments in China. By the end of the negotiations, a week had passed since the assassination.
After reaching the agreement, the United States sent people to Switzerland to sign a compensation agreement with Zhou Yu and his fan representatives, and recorded the information and bank account of all compensation personnel. According to the agreement, the compensation will be deposited into the account within three days.
After the compensation agreement was signed, Zhou Yu told 700 fans that the 200 million US dollars would be distributed equally to them as an apology for this incident.
Many fans refused without hesitation. For them, it was already very satisfied to get the 500,000 US dollars. Zhou Yu was the biggest victim of this incident and the most laborious one.
Seeing that the fans refused, Zhou Yu said that the hardest part in this incident was the fans of the God Dog. Without their support, it would be impossible to achieve such a compensation result.
Therefore, he will establish the Shentu Fan Foundation, which is the start-up capital of the 200 million US dollars. The purpose of this foundation is to rescue Shentu fans who are in trouble, including those who are sick and their families are sick, and in financial difficulties, they can seek help. After the foundation verifies, it will issue a relief fund to help.
The 700 fans present immediately raised their hands to express their approval. The fans of God Dog are the most united. It is precisely because of this unity that they can defeat the number one empire on the earth, establish a foundation, and rescue those fans in need. It is a very good thing.
Many fans said they donated the compensation they received to the foundation, but Zhou Yu politely declined, saying that they had donated the money, which was the start-up capital of 200 million US dollars.
