Chapter 999: Chapter 969:
Ye Chen didn’t dampen his brothers’ spirits. Once they arrived in Fukuoka, they indulged in a feast. Everyone drank to their heart’s content, avoiding imdiate worries, taking one step at a ti. When the noise subsided, Ye Chen stood outside Fukuoka, observing the calm world, as if it had nothing to do with him.
“Brother Chen, what are you worried about?” Feng Zhixiao asked curiously beside him.
“Heh, there are plenty of things in this world for us to worry about!” Ye Chen replied with a cigarette in his mouth, “The higher you stand, the more concerns you have, but our hearts must be equally broad. We must see so things in broader terms!”
“Yeah!” Feng Zhixiao nodded, “That’s indeed the case!”
The two stood talking in the cold wind for a long ti. Jianghuai City was already in warm spring, yet Fukuoka remained chilly. This is largely due to Fukuoka’s geographical location. Fukuoka is after all located farther north, on a similar latitude to Shanghai, making the February weather indeed quite cold.
The next day, Da Hei sent news from Ottawa: the negotiations had collapsed. Shortly after Da Hei’s ssage, Ye Chen received a call from Obama. Obama hoped Ye Chen could make a trip to the United States. Faced with Obama’s invitation, Ye Chen agreed without hesitation.
“Brother Chen, are you really going to the United States?” Li Tieniu asked curiously.
“Yes!” Ye Chen nodded, “The root of the issue lies with Obama. If that guy doesn’t let the Ottawa Governnt relent, we can never break through this bottleneck, and things will continue to deteriorate!”
“Big brother, why do I feel this is a Hongn banquet?” Da Xia frowned deeply.
“Exactly, if we just go like this, problems might arise!” Feng Zhixiao quickly agreed.
“Don’t worry, those Aricans don’t dare to play tricks in front of !” Ye Chen smiled and continued, “This ti, when I go, I will definitely return with gains, so you should also prepare appropriately to go to Ottawa.”
“Yes!” Feng Zhixiao nodded, trusting Ye Chen the most.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen took a flight to Washington. The more than ten-hour flight was extrely bumpy, making Ye Chen uncomfortable even in first class, forced to sit quietly for over ten hours. Sotis, Ye Chen pondered, why must people rely on airplanes to cross oceans? Lost in thought, Ye Chen quickly fell asleep.
Upon arriving in the United States, it was already nightti. The early evening lights of Washington blazed brilliantly. As Ye Chen descended from the plane, he felt particularly alert and quickly noticed two black-clothed n approaching. They skillfully weaved through the crowd, their eyes locked on Ye Chen, advancing step by step. Ye Chen t their gaze without hesitation.
“Mr. Ye, the President invites you!” The two black-clothed bodyguards slightly smiled at Ye Chen.
“Let’s go!” Ye Chen, appearing well-prepared, replied.
Following the two black-clothed n, Ye Chen boarded a black Ford car, heading straight to the White House. Sitting in the car, the bumps aggravated Ye Chen’s discomfort, having already endured a day’s flight.
At the President’s Mansion, Obama had already instructed the servants to prepare a dinner to welco Ye Chen. By this ti, Ye Chen was famished, having only had breakfast and lunch on the plane, but not dinner. Moreover, the plane’s food didn’t suit Ye Chen’s palate, and he barely tasted it.
“Haha, Ye Chen, you’re finally here!” Upon seeing Ye Chen enter, Obama and Mrs. Michelle imdiately approached, their friendliness catching Ye Chen off guard. He still rembered a year ago when he promised in the White House to eliminate the Church Court within a year, yet it still existed, even growing stronger. So, Ye Chen assud Obama wanted to settle accounts.
“Mr. President, I truly apologize for keeping you waiting!” Ye Chen bowed slightly.
“Please co inside, the dinner has been well prepared!” Obama said with a calm smile. Ye Chen nodded and followed the President and the First Lady into the hall. While the White House appeared mysterious to many, it had always been the soul of the United States. Its internal decor wasn’t lavish, just simple renovation, with only necessary banquet halls and so eting rooms slightly better decorated than ordinary hos.
Ye Chen, Obama, and the First Lady entered the banquet hall. On the dining table lay a variety of delicacies, from roasted beef to steaks, chicken chops, pork chops, onions, various pastries, and wines… everything was available.
Instead of imdiately devouring the food upon seeing the feast, Ye Chen didn’t rush in. As soone educated with noble etiquette, politeness is the minimum respect for others. The Obama family and Ye Chen dined together.
During the dinner, Mrs. Michelle and the two children soon left the banquet hall. The dining table then had only Ye Chen and Obama. Setting down his fork and knife, Obama smiled, “Mr. Ye, you promised sothing here a year ago. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen instantly knew the main topic had arrived. He also set his utensils aside, smiling, “Ye Chen certainly hasn’t forgotten, but mundane affairs held up this past year, delaying this matter. I hope you’ll forgive , Mr. President.”
“Really?” Obama’s eyes glead sharply, “But how is it I found you had the leisure to build cities and houses in Ottawa?”
“Building cities and houses is also a way to combat the Church Court, is it not?” Ye Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin and faced Obama’s deep eyes seriously, “The Church Court is gradually spreading to Arica. My n have blocked their forces in Asia, preventing them from breaching our defenses, hence forcing them to spread towards Arica.”
“Hmm?!” Obama nodded, signaling Ye Chen to continue.
“How can we stop the Church Court’s spread in Arica?” Ye Chen drew a line on the table with his hand, “By constructing fortifications and roads! I must transfer all my forces to North Arica, build a city near Ottawa as a springboard to block the Church Court’s force!”
“Excuses!” Obama’s mouth tilted slightly, softly uttering two words.
“How is that an excuse?” Ye Chen chuckled, “You might not know, Mr. President, but Church Court mbers have already infiltrated Ottawa Governnt. Without my Sunset City, Arica might beco their next target. There’s not much free space left in the world. Arica remains one of the few major countries!”
“Ye Chen, you’re fear-mongering!” Obama snorted coldly.
“Mr. President might not believe it?” Ye Chen lightly humd, “I believe you’ve connections with the Ottawa Governnt and an intelligence system. There should be related reports? If your intelligence system hasn’t received such reports, I can only say either your system is incompetent, or its mbers are concealing the truth. If it’s the forr, that’s one thing; if it’s the latter, then there must be Church Court moles within your intelligence system. So, be cautious, Mr. President!”
Ye Chen’s earnest advice indeed made Obama sowhat moved. In fact, Obama hadn’t received related intelligence; otherwise, why would he target Ye Chen? Frowning, Obama said, “Impossible!”
“Don’t believe it? How about we play a little ga, then?” Ye Chen smiled lightly.
“What ga?” Obama was taken aback.
“Co, let tell you…” Ye Chen leaned closer, Obama listened intently as the two whispered. Once Ye Chen finished speaking, Obama doubted whether such a thod could expose internal moles. But, since Ye Chen wanted to try, let him. It’s best to catch them; if not, it ans Ye Chen has issues.
The next day, news from the President’s Mansion announced Obama’s decision to cooperate with Ye Chen again, promising a large supply of arms, ammunition, and trained instructors to train the Luo Sijue family’s forces. This news left many congressn incredulous, denying its authenticity. However, upon confronting Obama, they found out it was true.
In secret, Ye Chen had organized a batch of the Luo Sijue family’s skilled technical personnel to monitor Obama’s subordinate intelligence departnt, with Obama’s cooperation, making it easy for Luo Sijue family mbers to acquire opposing intelligence codes.
On the third day following the news, good news arrived—they found the number connected to Ottawa Governnt. Obama was astonished by the Luo Sijue family’s technicians’ prowess in quickly uncovering his intelligence departnt’s information. Unbeknownst to him, he had provided so of the codes himself.
After obtaining that number, Obama personally compared it, promptly identifying it as the intelligence departnt’s number.
“Now, Mr. President, what do you think?” Ye Chen asked with a calm smile.
“No, that doesn’t prove anything!” Obama retorted, shaking his head, “I’ll have him arrested imdiately and interrogated to see what he says!”
Soon, Obama ordered the arrest and interrogation. The official, who was practically family, was caught sleeping in bed when agents blew open his door and seized him directly from his bedside.
