The next morning, Jiang Chen sent Liu Yao to the plane.
Along the way, other than when they were in a taxi, Liu Yao held onto Jiang Chen's arm and almost hung onto his body.
Their "loving" appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by.
But the reason why Liu Yao was so affectionate was not because of any pure reason, but purely because Jiang Chen tortured her too much last night.
Even now, her calves were still trembling and swaying uncontrollably.
"Dead person. No, didn't we agree on that. Calling me a puppy means I surrender? "Liu Yao accidentally stumbled as she angrily pinched Jiang Chen's waist.
When she thought about how he bullied her last night until she begged for mercy like a puppy, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Haha, sorry, that sound was too sweet." Jiang Chen let the hand pinch his waist as he smirked. "Also, did I say I would let you go if you surrender?"
"Pervert." Liu Yao rolled her eyes at the grinning Jiang Chen as she stopped in front of the gate.
She brushed her hair behind her ear and used all the strength in her body to stand on her tiptoes as she kissed Jiang Chen's lips.
"Remember to miss me."
"Mhmm."
There was no long goodbye as everything was understood without words.
Liu Yao picked up her small suitcase and left reluctantly.
Jiang Chen watched the flight leave as he looked at the clouds in the distance with a grin. The smile on his face gradually returned to calmness.
"Phew, the vacation is over. It's time to work."
Jiang Chen shook his head as he walked out of the airport.
After he left the airport, he didn't return to the hotel directly but took a taxi to the rural area.
In a park, Jiang Chen saw Zhang Yaping, wearing a black t-shirt, sitting on a bench and looking around.
"Why did you choose to meet at the park? I'd rather sit in a cafe and have a cup of coffee, "Jiang Chen said nonchalantly as he sat on the other side of the bench.
"For confidentiality reasons." Zhang Yaping's expression looked nervous, but his voice was calm.
"You think too much. This is New Zealand, not Pannu." Jiang Chen let out a sigh when he saw how nervous he was.
He thought Pannu's opposition would consider for a week before giving him an answer, but now it seemed like they couldn't wait.
"It's always better to be careful."
To Zhang Yaping's statement, Jiang Chen just shrugged noncommittally, then got to the point.
"Since you're here, your answer should be affirmative. Am I right?"
"Yes, we have no other choice." Zhang Yaping nodded and said with difficulty.
"Before we discuss the specifics of the assistance, let's talk about it first. May I know what prompted you to make a decision so quickly? "Jiang Chen smiled.
Zhang Yaping was silent for a moment.
"It's blood."
Under Jiang Chen's questioning, he slowly explained the whole story.
Two days ago, after he returned to Pannu Islands, the political situation began to rapidly deteriorate.
And all of this was because of the arrival of a Hua national.
Wang Tianfeng, Linhua Group's business representative stationed at Pannu Islands. The Chinese businessman seemed to be very familiar with Johnny. The two attended important events together, inspected the investment environment together, and finally signed the contract known as the fuse.
The coastal area of Coro Main Island, as well as the second largest island, Garin Island, were sold by Pannu's President Edward to Johnny International at 5 USD per square meter. Linhua Group converted it into a tourism industry and infrastructure. Only half of the 100 million USD from the sale went into the national treasury. The remaining 50 million USD all went into Edward's private account in New Zealand.
The forced land expropriation caused a large number of farmers and fishermen to lose their land. The compensation of 2 USD per square meter was not enough to cover their losses.
Dissatisfaction led to protests. The hawks in the Liberal Party saw an opportunity and stood up bravely at this critical moment. They called on the farmers and fishermen who lost their land to protest in front of the presidential palace.
But would Edward care? To be able to earn 100 million USD from the hopeless position that was lower than a mayor in New Zealand, it was worth it.
God, Pannu Islands' annual GDP was barely 100 million USD, and the tax revenue was less than 1 million.
With this money, he could be a millionaire in any corner of the world after he leaves office. He might as well go to England. Although he was English, he had never been to that place in his life.
But just as he pretended to persuade the people to stay calm, an unlucky kid threw a rotten banana at his face.
Edward was enraged.
Especially when the "natives" laughed without restraint as they patted the warrior's shoulder like he was a hero and put their arms around the young man's back.
In the next second, the young man fell into a pool of blood.
Looking at the smoke coming from the guns of the guards next to the president, everyone was stunned.
No one expected a peaceful protest to turn into an armed conflict.
But not only guns, there was also a tank.
The round head "Chief" main battle tank was a gift from England to Pannu's government. It was the only heavy equipment on the island. In the eighties, England finally remembered their backward little brother and began negotiations with Pannu's government to join the commonwealth. Coincidentally, the British army changed their equipment and the Challenger I replaced the "Chief" in the sixties. Therefore, the already obsolete "Chief" main battle tank was given to Pannu's government as a gift. Although the negotiations to join the commonwealth fell through in the end.
The Pannu people didn't expect the enraged Edward to use force to suppress the protestors.
Blood dyed the streets red.
Guns forcibly chased away the protestors.
15 people died, 57 people were injured. As the leader of the protest, the Pannu Freedom Party was brutally suppressed and searched.
As to the promised compensation, Edward didn't pay a single cent.
"He's a monster." Zhang Yaping was shaking with anger.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he closed his eyes in deep thought.
"What's your plan?"
"We need 5 million USD to purchase rifles, anti-tank weapons, and ammunition," Zhang Yaping took a deep breath as he said slowly.
"No problem, can you take care of the weapon purchase channel?" Jiang Chen said in a quiet voice.
"We contacted a UA called Roberts-"
"No, no, no, it's better if you don't reveal this name to everyone, including me. I don't want you to say 'the person who funded us is Jiang Chen, the major shareholder of Future Technology' to everyone you see. "Jiang Chen immediately interrupted Zhang Yaping's words.
He paused for a moment, then nodded in realization and said apologetically.
"Sorry, I didn't think it through. I hope you … "
"Of course, I'll keep this a secret. When do you plan on starting the plan?" Jiang Chen said cheerfully.
Everything was under control.
"Once the funds arrive," Zhang Yaping said in an undertone.
"Do you have a plan?" Jiang Chen asked in a quiet voice.
"We've gathered 400 insurgents. After equipping them with weapons, we'll launch an attack on the military base on Coro Island. Once we take over the armory, we'll use the armory's equipment to arm more citizens. Edward, that scum, will face the wrath of the Pannu people! "Zhang Yaping gritted his teeth.
It was obvious that this was the first time this guy was rebelling. There was no way he would reveal his plan.
Even to the investors.
After hearing his plan, Jiang Chen just nodded and took out his phone.
"The money has arrived. You can start now."
Zhang Yaping was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to pay so quickly.
"There's no need to sign a contract-"
"There's no need." Jiang Chen waved his hand. "You can talk to me after you win. I believe you'll keep your promise. For the freedom of the human race, go, young man. "
Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Yaping looked at Jiang Chen gratefully and nodded solemnly.
"I'll keep my promise. The new Pannu government won't forget the people who helped them. "
"Okay, go." Jiang Chen waved his hand.
Contract? For a government still in its infancy, it was no different than a verbal promise. Especially since Jiang Chen didn't care about the benefits the new Pannu government could bring him, but the benefits he could get from the civil war.
After Zhang Yaping left in a taxi, Jiang Chen got up from the bench in the park.
He didn't put the phone back in his pocket as he called Robert.
