Chapter 1041: I Haven’t Divorced That B*stard Yet!
Heisen smiled, not saying anything.
“If someone makes something similar to what you’ve invented, does it mean that they’ve plagiarized?” Bai Xiaonian wore a helpless expression. “Are you not going to give others a route out? If this is the case, then, Heisen, tell me, what other inventions that haven’t been completed, which our country is preparing to steal from the United States? Or what technologies will there be? Let me prepare mentally…”
The audience broke out laughing.
How was China supposed to steal things that the United States had yet to come up with? The person who said this didn’t even find it embarra.s.sing?
This time around, even Heisen couldn’t help but clap for Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian’s phone was in silent mode, so she hadn’t managed to pick up Lin Nuan’s calls the previous few times. Her phone slid out of her trousers, landing on the sofa. Bai Xiaonian picked it up and was about to put it back into her pocket amidst the audience’s applause when she saw that it was a WeChat message from Lin Nuan. Bai Xiaonian smiled, put away her phone, pushed back her hair, and said to the host Heisen…
“While we were chatting about this spy, I received news from China that the son of the amba.s.sador from the United States Emba.s.sy was apprehended in our country…”
Heisen was stunned. “What is the reason for the arrest?”
Bai Xiaonian shrugged and pouted. “It’s probably the same crime as what the United States apprehended the Kaide Corporation’s president for!”
Heisen was stunned. The director’s voice rang out from his earpiece, verifying that this news was true!
Heisen would never have expected that Bai Xiaonian’s country would be so decisive in their action this time around. After a short moment, he asked a sharp question, “So, the reason your country took such a great action this time around is due to the turbine being developed successfully, because they now have confidence?”
Bai Xiaonian smiled at Heisen and nodded. “Of course!”
Bai Xiaonian a.n.a.lyzed China’s newly developed bomber, the Heavenly Eye, from the essential level. Its flight ability was basically the same as that of the United States’ current strongest bomber, the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Despite this, it was also equipped with missiles.
Heisen then said that it was going through a test flight and hadn’t been officially manufactured. They’d be at a disadvantage if they were to get into an actual fight against the United States.
Bai Xiaonian sat there, a.n.a.lyzing the current international trends with Heisen seriously.
The United States had acted with great dominance for many years, creating stirs across the world. They would beat up people who didn’t listen to them, and even now, their troops were still in a tussle against a few countries.
However, the two countries in disagreement right now were both countries with nuclear power. Who would be afraid to take on the fight?
If the two countries were to fight each other, Russia would be elated. With both parties suffering casualties, Russia would be able to take over the United States’ current status of being the leader in the world.
Bai Xiaonian said that their country wasn’t a leader anyway and wasn’t interested in being one. However, would the United States be willing to part with this t.i.tle?
Bai Xiaonian also said that if they were to go to war, the United States’ arms dealers would be thrilled, but she had no idea how the taxpayers would view this. She was also very curious to find out how many times the United States’ government was going to declare bankruptcy.
At the end of the show, Heisen asked if Bai Xiaonian would partic.i.p.ate in the news conference that the United States was going to hold the next day. Bai Xiaonian nodded and said that she’d definitely be going.
Heisen was greatly antic.i.p.ating Bai Xiaonian calling out at the speaker. He asked her what questions she was going to ask. The United States’ government probably also wanted to know. Bai Xiaonian was too tricky, and the questions she asked would always make one speechless. There was once when she had really rendered the United States’ spokesperson speechless.
Regardless of whether it was the spokesperson for the White House or for the United States Department of State, all of them would subconsciously make a prayer before they had the courage to get on the stage after hearing Bai Xiaonian’s name.
What Bai Xiaonian had said on the show today was actually her utmost effort to hype up the situation, forcing the United States’ government to release Lu Jinnan.
After leaving the show, Bai Xiaonian felt both physically and mentally exhausted. She didn’t even have the energy to return Lin Nuan’s call.
This matter concerned the person she loved deeply, and Bai Xiaonian couldn’t help but feel anxious. She had to exert a lot of brainpower when she spoke as well.
The show was a live broadcast, and Bai Xiaonian’s words moved many people. There were already Chinese citizens who were in the United States, forming groups and putting up a demonstration, requesting that Lu Jinnan be released. After that, many Americans took part in the protest as well.
On the way back, Bai Xiaonian felt warm inside when she saw her fellow countrymen raising signs and holding a demonstration.
She knew that there’d be a tough battle tomorrow.
At the thought of Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian was once again invigorated. She let out a long breath and raised her own spirits. This wasn’t a time for her to feel mentally exhausted. Lu Jinnan’s current situation was still unknown, and they needed to get him out first.
Bai Xiaonian took out her phone to make a call. She utilized the connections she had built up after coming to the United States to find out news about Lu Jinnan and think up measures to deal with the situation tomorrow.
Bai Xiaonian was afraid that Lu Jinnan would be convicted of the crime of being a spy. If that happened, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with the situation…
Lu Jinnan wasn’t a staff member of the emba.s.sy, and he didn’t enjoy any diplomatic immunity. If he were to be charged with this crime, and the United States came out with some kind of “evidence,” they’d even be able to execute Lu Jinnan.
Fortunately, the son of the United States Emba.s.sy’s amba.s.sador had also been apprehended!
Bai Xiaonian felt that the likely end result might be a deal to trade the two captured men.
It was just that Bai Xiaonian’s heart would start to ache at the thought that Lu Jinnan might be suffering hards.h.i.+ps inside.
After going back, Bai Xiaonian gulped down a few cups of coffee, then gave Lin Nuan a call to tell her not to worry. She had people protecting her, and there wouldn’t be any trouble.
“Don’t worry! I won’t let anything happen to Lu Jinnan!” Bai Xiaonian held onto her coffee cup tightly. “I haven’t divorced that b*stard yet!”
Knowing that what Bai Xiaonian said was just out of spite, Lin Nuan didn’t take it seriously. She only told Bai Xiaonian not to push herself too much. Fu Huai’an was already on his way to the United States, and he’d definitely save Lu Jinnan.
After hanging up the call, Bai Xiaonian didn’t waste any time and went to read up on diplomatic immunity. She wanted to find a term that might be applicable to Lu Jinnan.
Bai Xiaonian didn’t sleep for the entire night, and by the time she looked up from the doc.u.ments and books, the sun had already risen.
Bai Xiaonian rubbed her sore neck and took a look at the time. She hadn’t expected it to already be 7:40 am!
Seeing that she was almost going to be late, Bai Xiaonian washed her face, put on light makeup to show respect, and then headed out with a pile of doc.u.ments without even having her breakfast.
Even though Bai Xiaonian felt that all the effort she put in might not achieve the result she wanted with her status as a reporter, she had no other way out this time around. For Lu Jinnan’s sake, she had to give it everything she had.
…
After Lu Jinnan got into trouble, Lin Nuan hadn’t been able to sleep well. After Fu Huai’an arrived in the United States, he was afraid that he’d disturb Lin Nuan’s rest and thus only sent her a message to say that he had arrived safely.
After Lin Nuan saw the message, she told Fu Huai’an that Liang Mulan would be coming over to take care of her and Tuan Tuan. She told him not to worry about the things at home and didn’t say much of anything else.
