Chapter 364 Economy
Jiang Yue smirked before removing the headset that she was using. She just finished listening to the recording that her drone had gathered from one of the Kim Family’s estates.
"They are planning to attack the economy," she stated while propping her head with her hands. "If my guess is right, that Mr. Wu is Li Qiang. His voice is just too familiar to ."
Fu Jin instantly raised an eyebrow at her. "Li Qiang?"
"Do you think he wanted the list from the Fu Family because of this?" He asked.
"Could be. That man is crazy," she answered.
"Are you going to inform Gideon about this? This could be just the first phase of their plans. If they want to change the King, then there should be sothing bigger than manipulating the opinion of the people." He said.
"I know..." she nodded. "They are planning an attack. Not sure what is it yet. But it should be sothing really big."
"Also, they are planning to fra and drag into their ga. If they are smart, then they will pin the attack on and accuse of rebellion or sothing like that." She smiled. "Too bad I have already heard all their plans ahead of ti."
On that night, Li Qiang and the Kim Family did not have any idea that Jiang Yue was closely monitoring their etings and activities. She was recording everything and creating her own counterasures against their plans.
And just like what the Kim Family had planned, there was a sudden spike on the prices of normal goods in the country. That included oil, food, and dical supplies. It was primarily caused by the shortage of commodities and the sudden spike of demands.
The country’s sudden economic problem imdiately caused a lot of controversies. dia outlets were mainly focusing on the Governnt’s inability to cope with the situation, creating hunger and more health problems for people coming from average households.
Because of that, an ergency eting was called with the Pri Minister and the King present. Although Jiang Yue had already inford Gideon about that, the latter was still not able to make a lot of preparations for the attack. Because of that, Gideon was currently having a headache while listening to the Cabinet mbers’ discussion about the matter.
He knew that this incident was orchestrated by the Kim Family, yet, he was almost helpless about it. He couldn’t help but rember Li Jun’s letter, telling him to prepare the military forces in advance, as it was the only way that he could defeat the Kim Family and protect the Crown without Li Jun by his side.
"We can’t even handle a single problem. And now you want to use a part of the countries budget for food on military technology! It is not only illogical, but it is also very unfair to the people!" The Minister of Food and Agriculture said to the Pri Minister. "We can’t focus on our military right now when our people are starving!"
The Minister of Food and Agriculture actually wanted to utilize so budget from Military Technology and use it to purchase rice from other countries. However, the Pri Minister insisted on the fact that the money allocated for the military purposes could only be used for the military and not for sothing else.
Gideon could only narrow his eyes at the Pri Minister, as the argunt continued. He already knew that Pri Minister Li was on the Kim Family’s side, however, he was making it too obvious this ti. It was as if the Pri Minister wanted everyone in the country to hate the Military.
He couldn’t help but wonder if they were also planning to drag Jiang Yue’s na in this ss. And just like what he expected, the Pri Minister ntioned Jiang Yue’s na and used it as a shield against everything.
"Miss Jiang of the Wang Empire will arrive next week to discuss the collaboration that we have been planning for a long ti already. We can’t just tell her that there will be no funding for this project since we have used all the military money to purchase more food for everyone!" The Pri Minister explained. "The Wang Empire is one of the most demanded companies right now because of the technology that they have created. We can’t let this project go!"
"Pri Minister, my only concern is the welfare of our people. What is the use of that military sophistication if our people are dying from starvation?" Another minister said. "I’m sure Miss Jiang of the Wang Group will understand this. After all, the welfare of the people should be our priority."
The argunt went on as the Pri Minister continued to use Jiang Yue’s na to the dismay of most Cabinet mbers. They hadn’t even t Jiang Yue, but they already had a bad impression about the latter.
Of course, Gideon did not say anything about that, as Jiang Yue had told him not to protect her na. Jiang Yue had also told him to use this opportunity to see who was actually siding with the Kim Family among the Cabinet mbers. By pretending to be vulnerable, many people would show their real faces and kick him while he was down.
