Chapter 3496 Becoming a Hero
Ye Chen, who was slow to react emotionally, did not understand the real reason for Xiao Churan's emotional breakdown.
He just felt that Xiao Churan might eventually be crushed one day after enduring Ma Lan's values and style of doing things for so many years. Perhaps what Ma Lan said just now was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
So, he held Xiao Churan in his arms and patted her back silently.
Xiao Churan cried for a while, then her mood calmed down a little. She wiped away her tears and said to Ye Chen, "Come walk with me on the beach."
"Okay." Ye Chen readily agreed, and walked to the beach by the sea hand in hand with her. The two of them walked slowly on the waves, and no one spoke, enjoying this rare world of two people.
At this time, the Spring Festival Gala was nearing its end.
Many guests have already left the restaurant and returned to their rooms.
At the same time, on the base island of the Poqing Society.
Wu Feiyan watched the Spring Festival Gala in silence, then said to Wu Tianlin with a sneer on her face, "Ever since the Ye and An families reconciled their differences, their actions have become increasingly aggressive. This Changying car they built is like a thorn in my flesh!"
Wu Tianlin immediately said, "Lord Ying, Changying Automobile is currently in the development and construction stage. Do you want to send some agents over to cause some damage?"
Wu Feiyan waved her hand and said, "I know that the An family is in China. If I send the three elders there, I will most likely kill them all. But I didn't take any action because, firstly, I don't know the depth of the mysterious enemy. Secondly, An Qishan, the old fox, is now investing heavily in China. If I touch him, or even kill his entire family, then the end of Poqing Society will come."
Wu Tianlin asked, "Lord Ying, if you don't do something, the An and Ye families are so high-profile. I'm worried that these people will disturb your peace..."
Wu Feiyan couldn't help but grit her teeth.
What Wu Tianlin said was exactly the thorn in her heart.
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her expression was extremely gloomy as she spoke: "Over the years, after the deaths of An Chengxi and Ye Changying, the An and Ye families have been keeping a low profile. I have always suspected that An Chengxi was still alive, so over the years we didn't kill both families. Instead, we sent scholars to the An family to gather information. However, I didn't expect that after twenty years, the An family still had no news that An Chengxi was still alive..."
At this point, Wu Feiyan frowned and said in a cold voice: "If it were someone else, they would definitely think that they were worrying too much, or that An Chengxi had already died at the hands of Chang Shengbo, but I never dared to relax. I always felt that she must still be alive, and must be trying her best to seek revenge on me in secret! Later, I tried to wipe out the An family twice, just to force her to show up, but she didn't show up, but a very powerful mysterious person showed up instead. Now this chess game has become more and more complicated..."
Wu Tianlin knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Lord, if An Chengxi still doesn't show up and there's still no clue about that mysterious person, I'd like to suggest that you fight them to the death!"
"Hmm?" Wu Feiyan asked him, "Why do you say that?"
Wu Tianlin clasped his fists high above his head and shouted, "Lord! I know that An Chengxi and Lin Wan'er may hold the secret to a thousand years of immortality. I dare to say something that is punishable by death. If An Chengxi really delays your immortality for a thousand years, why should you care about the four hundred years of the Po Qing Society? Why not fight them to the death! Even if we really provoke those great powers, what will happen? The worst that can happen is that we have to abandon this base. With your strength, Lord, you can go wherever you want, and who in this world can stop you?"
Wu Feiyan looked at Wu Tianlin, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The Wu family has lived a good life for too long, and many people are afraid that they will act rashly and harm the entire Wu family.
Only Wu Tianlin meant that he might as well drag the entire Poqing Society into the water.
This is exactly what I want.
Wu Feiyan had long thought that since she couldn't get the Baizhuan Qianhui Pill, her life span would only be a few decades. It didn't matter if she couldn't find Lin Wan'er. An Chengxi could escape, but he couldn't escape. If An Chengxi didn't show up again, what would happen if she killed her whole family? Even if the two great powers of the East and the West wanted to join forces to eradicate the Poqing Society, what would happen? When her life span was about to end, she didn't care about anything! If it was really a situation where she was going to die, it would be good to kill more people before she died!
So, she said to Wu Tianlin, "Tianlin, start adjusting. I will wait for An Chengxi for three more years at most. If she still doesn't show up after three years, I will wipe out the entire An and Ye families, leaving no direct descendants alive!"
Wu Tianlin immediately said loudly: "I obey your command!"
……
New Year's Day.
Bernard Arnault took a seaplane to Male, the capital of Maldives, early in the morning, and then took his own private plane back to France.
Although Baima Island has returned to peace and tranquility, the outside world's heated discussions about Baima Island have not diminished at all.
The world media are continuously carrying out various special reports, and even many experts have come to analyze the situation in Syria and the role of the US government behind this matter.
The pressure on the Syrian opposition suddenly became surprisingly great.
Although they all come from humble backgrounds or even terrorists, the situation is different now. When the rebels seize power, they are no longer rebels but regular troops.
The difference between the regular army and the rebels is that the regular army, now that they have a country, can no longer fight guerrilla warfare as they please. They have to consider their own image to some extent, so they did not dare to continue to attack Hamid. They could only declare to the outside world that Ma Kui from Blackwater Company deliberately framed Hamid, and that they had a close comrade-in-arms relationship with Hamid, and there was no possibility of joining forces with others to assassinate him.
However, this claim is useless and almost no one will buy it.
After Blackwater threw out the scapegoat, although the outside doubts increased instead of decreased, they still chose to play dumb. They knew very well that this kind of thing could not be explained, and the more they explained, the more criticism they would receive.
The mainstream media in the United States also remained silent on this matter. America, which usually claims to have freedom of speech, only has selective freedom. When it comes to certain special groups, freedom of speech becomes empty talk.
However, European media's coverage of this incident can be said to be working overtime and in a very intensive manner.
The media in Britain, France, Germany and Italy have openly launched a strong attack on Blackwater, especially the French media. It is like the New Year, criticizing Blackwater, digging up Blackwater's past and dirt, and portraying Bernard Arnault as the most brave and responsible billionaire in the world.
Today, the president will summon Bernard Ayrno at the Elysee Palace. Although the meeting time is 2 pm local time, many European media arrived at the Elysee Palace in the morning to prepare.
The airport was unprecedentedly bustling with activity.
In order to capture first-hand footage of Bernard Arnault's return, each media outlet sent a reporting team, set up cameras and long guns at the airport runway, waiting to welcome the French hero.
According to the French government's plan, the Prime Minister would meet with the President at the airport, so the Prime Minister also arrived at the airport early to prepare to welcome Bernard Arnault at the airport.
In order to make the welcoming ceremony as grand as possible, France arranged for the airport to prepare four remote parking stands in advance. These four stands were only used to park Bernard Arnault's private plane. All invited media were waiting opposite the parking stands for filming. After the plane landed, it would also taxi here, allowing Bernard Arnault to get off the plane in the spotlight.
Bernard Arnault had not arrived at the airport yet, but his familiar media friends had already sent him photos of the scene via satellite network.
When Bernard Arnault saw the grand welcome he received, he couldn't stop smiling.
He couldn't help but smile and sighed to his wife: "Oh, I've been called a profiteer for decades, but I never thought I'd turn into a hero now!"
