555: Chapter 555: Never Give In!
In the middle of the night.
The last flight from Tianyuan to Liuli City landed smoothly on the runway.
While the plane was still taxiing, a secure phone call ca in.
After disembarking, Wu Jie headed deep into the terminal building, got into a sedan, and quietly left the airport.
There’s a saying in the car industry.
Don’t fear a Volkswagen with letters; fear a sedan with a microphone.
The sedan that ca to pick up Wu Jie tonight, though not a convertible and without a microphone attached,
But…
The license plate number was impressive!
On the way to the city center, it seed that many drivers and pedestrians were watching.
In this day and age, luxury cars are no longer a novelty.
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron…
Actually, various luxury cars often appear in people’s sight.
Plus, with short video platforms being so popular, there’s no shortage of internet celebrities renting luxury cars to show off, making people less impressed by them.
But this car with small flags fluttering on both sides of the hood and a license plate with red-lettering was truly extraordinary.
Speeding along!
In the middle of the night, the roads in Liuli City were no longer congested.
He arrived at the hotel at one-thirty in the morning.
Tang Xiao had not co along because she was organizing friends and family to visit Wu Jie’s hotown on Saturday and obviously had no ti to participate in the negotiations.
Moreover, the special envoy was not here to see her.
The accommodations were quite nice.
They were understated, elegant, and aningful.
The low four-story building was surrounded by green trees, creating an elegant and secluded courtyard.
The suite Wu Jie stayed in was not large; it wasn’t the kind of glittering and extravagant decoration found in five-star hotels.
The living room and bedroom both appeared very understated and simple.
The attendant brought so late-night snacks and pastries.
Accompanying him into the room were two other people.
One was dressed in a Zhongshan suit, had bright, spirited eyes, and carried an extraordinary aura.
After looking around the room, he stood at the door with his briefcase, gazing straight ahead with a wireless earpiece in his right ear.
The other middle-aged man appeared quite gentle and refined, very courteous and polite.
Wu Jie felt he had seen him on the news but did not know his na.
After exchanging pleasantries, the middle-aged man politely insisted that Wu Jie just call him Tan.
Tan was very easygoing, encouraging Wu Jie to eat while listening to his ramblings.
“The assassination attempts you’ve experienced were both unexpected and within reason!”
“They are more accustod to thinking in black and white: either you are submissive and loyal to him, or you have to confront him head-on!”
“So in the field of information networks, where you play a significant role, if you can’t be tad, you must be eliminated!”
Wu Jie just humd in agreent without objecting.
He had heard similar sentints from Tang Xiao three hours earlier while eating dinner at ho.
Wu Jie understood it all boiled down to one saying, “Those who aren’t our kind have minds that differ.”
If they’re not from the sa tribe, they certainly can’t be trusted.
If they can’t depend on each other, then one side must die.
Seeing Wu Jie’s calm expression, Tan chuckled benevolently:
“I truly didn’t expect our nation to have such talent as yours.
With your own strength, you can dominate the field of information networks, unrestrained and invincible!”
“And those international forces, they certainly didn’t anticipate a prodigy like you erging from us, and they truly can’t sleep easy until they put you to death!”
Wu Jie grabbed a handful of nuts, snacking while chatting with a smile:
“So you an to say, the President’s special envoy ca here also intending to kill ?”
“How could that be possible?” Tan laughed, “After two failed assassination attempts, if they were to try a third ti and it was successful, that would be good.
But if it fails?
To completely infuriate you and stir up a world of chaos, wouldn’t they be the first to suffer?”
“All industries are more dependent on the internet than we are, and we are relatively behind.
If true chaos ensues, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes.”
Tan’s words…
Had profound implications!
Wu Jie thought to himself.
Is he hinting?
No…
this should be considered an explicit suggestion!
It ant that Wu Jie shouldn’t be afraid; if things really escalate, he should feel free to go all out in battle!
Thinking this, Wu Jie couldn’t help feeling that those higher up really had long-range strategic insight.
That made sense, of course.
Tan was several years senior to Tang Xiao, so naturally, his life experience and international strategic thinking were different.
Moreover, Tan stands from a different perspective.
In the competition and skirmishes between nations, seeking peace through submission and flattery only emboldens the opponent to intensify their efforts.
Thus, Tan’s visit at nearly two in the morning must have been for one purpose only.
And here it is.
In the subsequent conversation, Tan made this point even more clear.
“Including the series of bombings orchestrated by the Aseyah Youth Army, you’ve actually been the target of assassination three tis now!”
“As the saying goes, what can be endured and what cannot!
I hope that in tomorrow’s closed-door negotiation, you will not give in too easily…”
Wu Jie raised an eyebrow.
“Wait a minute!”
“You just said that I shouldn’t give in… What do you an?
Am I the one negotiating with the envoy?”
Tan nodded emphatically, “Yes!
They specifically nad you, demanding a one-on-one negotiation!”
“That’s why I rushed over tonight to remind you, you must be cautious of their sugar-coated bullets and not be easily beguiled!”
Wu Jie’s lips twitched slightly.
F*ck!
An envoy wants to talk to !
If this was in the past, I couldn’t even dream of such a thing at night!
…
At three in the morning.
Tan left contentedly.
Wu Jie hurriedly finished his washing up and lay down, but tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
The world’s hegemon, yes!
Negotiating with their envoy…
This was obviously more exciting and thought-provoking than negotiating with the three biggest thugs.
In his mind, he envisioned various negotiation scenarios.
Wondering what the other side might say, whether they’d use traditional threats and incentives…
He drifted off into a drowsy sleep without knowing when he finally fell asleep.
…
Early in the morning.
As Wu Jie slept hazily, orderly footsteps echoed from the courtyard along with commands like “Attention, at ease.”
Since no one knocked on his door to wake him up, Wu Jie didn’t bother looking out the window to satisfy his curiosity.
With the envoy’s visit, they probably assigned elite troops to enhance the security of the hotel.
He turned over and continued sleeping!
That nap wasn’t too bad.
When the doorbell rang, Wu Jie woke up and found it was already close to ten o’clock.
He opened the door to let the attendant in with breakfast.
After grooming, Wu Jie ate his breakfast and went to the window.
He saw several Cadillacs parked in the hotel’s parking area along the courtyard.
Each one was rugged and imposing, wide and lengthy, likely armored versions.
Each car had black license plates, with flags of the two countries hanging on both sides of the front.
Besides, there were several burly n standing in the shade.
So carried black briefcases, and others were still in suits.
In such hot weather, they didn’t take off their suit jackets, it seed like the jackets were stuffed with quite a few items.
Wu Jie rembered watching an exposé video before.
So said that the black briefcases contained weapons, ammunition, and ergency dical supplies.
So said they were briefcases with the codes to remotely control nuclear weapons.
But in reality, it was only when the president was traveling that the briefcases carried by the entourage could possibly contain the nuclear codes.
At other tis, these bodyguards’ black briefcases could be quickly opened with one button, unfolding into a large shield.
Made of Kevlar fiber, with enough thickness to withstand an assault rifle’s rapid fire, and shrapnel from grenade explosions…
While sipping his morning tea, he admired these elite bodyguards from the Star Federation.
Truly f*cking strong!
Each one was muscular and sharp-eyed.
It was as if they could kill a charging cheetah with one punch.
Knock knock knock!
The door knocked, and the liaison officer arrived…
