This hat is too big!
Hanaduo's cold sweat poured down his face. He shivered slightly, a tingling sensation rushing from the base of his spine to the crown of his head.
Not just him, everyone present was stunned.
Even the soldiers brought by Song Qiao widened their eyes in disbelief.
Fan Ze clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
Facing the shocked gazes of everyone present, Song Qiao's lips curved slightly, his expression remarkably calm.
Looking at the eyes cast upon him, Song Qiao spoke softly.
"Actually, Hanaduo's business in China was just a cover. He's actually a wanted criminal in Xue Guo."
The words fell, and everyone was shocked!
Disbelief filled everyone's eyes as they stared intently at Hanaduo.
Xia's father's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he looked at Hanaduo with utter dread.
But Hanaduo, the subject of their attention, turned red with anger and trembled all over.
"Song Qiao, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be a spy from Xue Guo!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded in agreement. They didn't believe it either.
Hanaduo gritted his teeth.
Facing Hanaduo's statement, Song Qiao offered no response. He merely looked at the displeased Fan Ze and asked softly.
"So, do you still want to let the wolf into the house?"
Fan Ze frowned. Before he could speak, Haraduo, who had been accused, suddenly burst into ironic laughter.
"You must be crazy! To say something so ridiculous!"
Everyone present exchanged glances, nodding in their hearts.
Hanaduo's voice was icy.
"Song Qiao, I am a high-ranking official in Xue Guo. What do you mean by spy?"
"Even more ridiculous, you claim I'm a wanted criminal?"
"This is not a funny joke."
Song Qiao shook his head. He didn't want to argue about the truth of the matter.
Once the news spread, they would naturally know the truth.
He was currently looking at Fan Ze.
This diplomat was called by Hanaduo. If he could be persuaded, so much the better. If not, he would have to resort to force.
Unfortunately, Fan Ze clenched his fists, looking coldly at Song Qiao as if he were an idiot.
"Song Qiao, as a Brigadier General in the Ministry of Security, you must be responsible for your words. Such things cannot be spoken lightly."
"I never joke, and I certainly don't joke about matters like this." He smiled and gave Song Qiao a deep look.
However, Fan Ze became even more incensed, his face darkening instantly.
"Then stop talking nonsense! Words, once spoken, are like spilled water; you must be responsible!"
"Precisely because of your special status, you need to think carefully before you speak! Do you know what kind of trouble your words could cause?"
Song Qiao, who had intended to persuade him, heard this and immediately shook his head, letting out a scoff.
"Ridiculous!"
As the words fell, he raised a hand.
The soldiers behind him, who had been waiting for a long time and were holding back their anger, their eyes lit up. They perked up and got into formation.
"All soldiers, receive my order!"
Seeing that Song Qiao's voice had calmed down, Fan Ze thought he was going to order the soldiers to retreat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
He had arrived in time, and Song Qiao wasn't completely disregarding the overall situation.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have ended so easily today.
Hanaduo also thought he was leaving, and he chuckled coldly, cursing Song Qiao's ancestors in his mind.
Once today was over, he would find a way to deal with Song Qiao!
Xia's father slowly exhaled, a hint of relief in his eyes.
Fortunately, he had bet correctly.
It's just...
Seeing their relaxed expressions, Song Qiao's lips curved, and he shouted coldly.
"Smash it!"
As the words fell, the eager soldiers became incredibly excited. Laughing loudly, they raised their weapons and charged into various parts of the hotel, smashing and breaking things.
The armored vehicles were also put to use.
For a moment, the hotel was filled with the sound of explosions and shattering glass, screams, and the sound of footsteps, creating utter chaos.
Since Song Qiao had given the order, they had no reservations!
Before the operation, Song Qiao had already instructed them to release their pent-up emotions as much as they pleased. All losses would be borne by Song Qiao!
CRACK—
BOOM—
Hanaduo and Xia's father's eyes rolled back as they saw the scene, their bodies trembling.
Even more terrified was Fan Ze. Amidst his fear, rage surged. Gritting his teeth, he walked up to Song Qiao, grabbed his collar, widened his eyes, and stared at him, shouting.
"Are you crazy! Are you out of your mind!"
CRACK—
His words were useless. Another sound of a crystal chandelier shattering echoed, and large fragments fell to the ground, mixing with screams and the sound of running feet, turning the entire place into chaos.
Fan Ze's eyes turned red. He let go of Song Qiao and roared at the soldiers.
"Stop! Stop, everyone, stop smashing! I order you, stop smashing!"
Song Qiao glanced at him, tidied his clothes, and smiled faintly, saying softly.
"It's useless. They only obey me."
His light laughter held a hint of mockery.
At this moment, Fan Ze's eyes widened. He pointed at Song Qiao with his index finger, sputtering for a long time without being able to form a coherent sentence.
His body trembled slightly with rage.
"Song Qiao! You've caused trouble, you've caused a huge disaster!"
His voice grew louder and louder. Fan Ze gritted his teeth, his eyes red as he pointed at the hotel, now a wreck.
"Let's see how you clean this up! I won't help you. You're on your own!"
Hanaduo narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Song Qiao, while this might vent your anger, what's the point? What do you think will happen to you after smashing it all? Will you get away with it?"
No one present believed that Song Qiao could leave unscathed after this incident.
If Song Qiao was not punished accordingly, what would happen to their international prestige in the future?
Xia's father gritted his teeth fiercely, looking at Song Qiao with a sense of schadenfreude.
Although his meticulously managed hotel was gone, this time was different from the last.
Last time, Song Qiao was not punished, but this time would be different. This time, it involved a foreign guest!
Feeling a surge of satisfaction, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Do you think being a Brigadier General in the Ministry of Security will save you? Your status is useless. You've caused such a huge disaster, a death sentence is unavoidable, and a living punishment is inevitable."
"Mr. Song, I'm just waiting to see your downfall, hahaha!"
As he spoke, Xia's father was laughing wildly.
SLAP—
A loud slap echoed. Xia's father felt a sharp pain on his face and widened his eyes in shock.
Song Qiao looked at Xia's father expressionlessly.
"The Ministry of Security is smashing the store of a wanted criminal. What are you blabbering about here?"
"You!"
Song Qiao said coldly, "What 'you'? If you don't want to die, shut your mouth and behave!"
