Chapter 1036: Lu Jinnan Was Taken Away by the United States’ Police
This was especially so considering China’s missiles could already be said to have reached top-notch levels across the world. This time around, the bomber wasn’t just able to conceal itself, but it was also equipped with missiles. The prowess grew in folds.
It wasn’t as if there weren’t any bombers in the world that were equipped with missiles. However, not only could they be equipped with missiles, but they could also remain concealed, perform vertical takeoffs and landing, as well as fly long distances. These made it likely the only one of its kind.
As a citizen, Lin Nuan also felt proud when she saw the news. This was especially so considering the turbine had been jointly developed by the Kaide Corporation and the government. This made Lin Nuan feel a greater sense of pride.
“It’s all thanks to the Kaide Corporation for having thought of a way to invite Mr. Ran Chaoqian back to China!” Lin Nuan said this heartfelt thought.
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Mr. Ran Chaoqian very much wanted to return to China and render his services. It was just that… he had been suppressed by the De Niro Company back then and wasn’t able to leave!”
It was also because Li Muyang had spent great efforts to take the path that led to his ruins after coming to Haicheng. This made Fu Huai’an even more bent on wanting to deal with Li Muyang. After Li Muyang came under his control, Fu Huai’an managed to get his hands on Ran Chaoqian by surprise and thus brought him back to China.
Lin Nuan’s phone that was on the dining room table vibrated. She took a look and saw that it was from Bai Xiaonian. She quickly put down her chopsticks and picked it up.
“Nuan Nuan, there’s trouble!” Bai Xiaonian’s voice sounded very anxious. “Lu Jinnan was taken away by the United States’ police! Before he left, he told me to give you a call to inform your husband! I’m not completely sure what’s going on now. I only received a call from Lu Jinnan, and he didn’t make things clear over the phone before he was arrested. When I tried to call him again, the phone was switched off. Right now, I’m baffled, and I’m about to head to the emba.s.sy… and let the emba.s.sy come out to ask what’s going on.”
Lin Nuan realized that the situation was dire. “Hold on… I’ll pa.s.s the phone to Huai’an!”
When Fu Huai’an heard Lin Nuan mention him on the call, he turned to look at her…
“It’s a call from Xiaonian. She said that Lu Jinnan was taken away by the United States’ police!”
Fu Huai’an’s gaze sank. He took the phone, stood up, and headed outside. “h.e.l.lo…”
Bai Xiaonian said a lot over the phone, but Fu Huai’an only said to Bai Xiaonian, “Don’t panic. This isn’t something serious. Don’t head to the emba.s.sy. Stay calm! Go work or do whatever you should be doing. Old Lu has long sent people to protect you. Now that Old Lu has been invited away, that person should appear. Don’t be afraid! Leave the rest of the matters to me!”
After hanging up the call, Fu Huai’an frowned. Two days ago, when he was on the phone with Lu Jinnan, he had instructed Lu Jinnan repeatedly to head back to the country as soon as possible. However, Lu Jinnan didn’t heed his words.
It was no longer a secret that they had brought Ran Chaoqian back to China. The United States had repeatedly created trouble over this matter on the political level. They would implement economic sanctions or conduct tax inspections on the businesses from China that were located in the United States. Those actions were them taking the pretext to kick up a fuss.
What did the United States value the most? It was their status as a domineering presence across the world. What supported this status was their military prowess!
Ran Chaoqian was someone who studied things like bombers, fighter jets, and turbines. He was an important talent, so how could the United States not feel anxious that China had taken him back?
They had lost Ran Chaoqian, as well as his family members. Moreover, they now discovered that the newest and most powerful turbine had been developed successfully. Furthermore, it was used on another country’s bomber. How furious would they feel about this?
The turbine could be used on bombers, but it could also be used on fighter jets and cargo planes…
With such equipment, it would mean that their country had the capability to make a breakthrough past the United States’ powerful aviation defenses. The United States had no choice but to be wary against them.
Right now, the two countries were heated on diplomatic and political issues. Neither of them was giving way to the other party!
The United States could only create trouble for the businessmen. Previously, they had arrested the vice-president of a business who was native to China when the person was in Canada!
It was quite ridiculous. The United States’ Qualcomm company had gotten 5G standards due to pressure applied by the United States’ government. However, the United States was unwilling to accept the fact that China’s corporation had first announced 5G commercial systems and 5G microchips. Therefore, they got Canada to arrest that company’s vice-president.
This time around, they used the same trick to arrest Lu Jinnan. It was still unknown what crime they were going to pin on Lu Jinnan!
However, this time around, the area involved wasn’t communications but military matters. Fu Huai’an didn’t have to think to understand that there would be a lot of complications compared to the previous case.
Fu Huai’an headed upstairs before he could return Lin Nuan’s phone to her. His own phone also rang just as he headed up the stairs. Both phones started ringing concurrently, with one being the military and the other being Gu Qingcheng.
The military received news slightly faster than Fu Huai’an and Gu Qingcheng. They had received a call just before the United States took action. However, they still weren’t able to inform Lu Jinnan in time.
Fu Huai’an picked up the call from the military first. The person on the other end of the call also mentioned the matter of Lu Jinnan being arrested. The military had already gotten the emba.s.sy to ask why Lu Jinnan was arrested.
They also said that this had arisen from their successful development of the turbine and that the United States was just jealous and wanted to create some trouble.
However, what the military wanted to do was calm Fu Huai’an down. They then said that the government would definitely think of a way to protect Lu Jinnan. After all, this matter also concerned their country’s reputation!
Fu Huai’an believed in those words.
Gu Qingcheng had also received news and asked Fu Huai’an if there was a need for him to interfere in this matter.
Fu Huai’an fell silent for a moment before saying, “Leave this matter to the government! It’s alright. This isn’t a good time for us to utilize our connections.”
After that, Fu Huai’an made arrangements for the work matters at his company. He also got the secretary’s office to prepare a news script. He was going to hold a press conference.
Since Lu Jinnan was apprehended by the United States’ police, Fu Huai’an became busy…
He had initially agreed to go to the Lin residence to have a meal with Lin Nuan and the others, but he probably wouldn’t have the time to do that now. Although Lu Jinnan was in the United States, he hadn’t been slacking in his work. However, with him being arrested, all that work became the responsibility of Fu Huai’an and Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng had a lot piling up to begin with, so Fu Huai’an was the only one who could step up and take on the work for now.
Fu Huai’an’s secretary’s office was already hectic when they received the call. They immediately prepared the news script. This time around, Fu Huai’an was going to hold the press conference personally. The moment news of it went out, the media surged forth and started waiting very early.
The Kaide Corporation’s press conference came very suddenly, and many media companies were scheduled to attend other people’s press conferences. However, the moment they heard that Fu Huai’an was going to hold the press conference personally, they all rushed over.
The television stations only started to report the news of Lu Jinnan’s arrest at 1 pm, and the Weibo account for the United States Emba.s.sy was bombarded by the netizens.
First, Canada had arrested a businessman from their country. Who wasn’t aware that Canada was the United States’ lackey?
After that, the turbine had been successfully developed, and the Kaide Corporation’s Lu Jinnan was arrested. Even now, the reason for his arrest was still unknown. No one knew the situation!
