After leaving the city of Zhonghai, the traffic on the highway was sparse.
Inside the bright red Porsche Cayenne that Anxin usually used, two female bodyguards sat in the front and were responsible for driving.
Yang Cheng held Anxin's hand and sat in the back so that Anxin's head could lean on his shoulder.
The woman seemed to be too tired. After saying what she wanted to say, she became drowsy and had no intention to continue talking. She only wanted to lean on the man.
Yang Cheng's expression wasn't good. It wasn't that bad, but there was a hint of disgust between his brows.
Anxin almost choked with sobs as she recounted what happened in the An family. Yang Cheng's first thought was – if he knew this would happen, he would have fed the idiot An Zaihuan, along with the father and son of the Liu family, to the sharks!
It wasn't a small matter, but in Yang Cheng's eyes, it wasn't a big deal.
The cause was a dispute that had been the focus of the world for the past two months. Hua Xia was fighting with Country F over the ownership of an island in the South China Sea.
No matter how he looked at it, Country F was looking for trouble, relying on the support of the UA military's long-distance firepower to intimidate others.
Although the higher-ups of Huaxia were scolded by countless people for being incompetent, they insisted on not opening fire with real swords and guns. However, it made sense. If they did whatever the people said, they wouldn't be called leaders.
However, they didn't let Country F gain any advantage. They kept using their navy to defend the island and just wasted their time.
To be honest, Yang Cheng could understand this situation. Hua Xia's real opponent wasn't Country F, but the UA behind it. Country F was only a pitiful chess piece.
Even though America's special organization, Blue Storm, was not considered powerful, the world still belonged to more than six billion people. As social creatures, in the human world, what truly dominated the world was not some super expert, nor was it some super Mutant organization. It was still the comprehensive competitiveness of each country, technology, economy, culture … These were the fundamentals of human society. Force could only kill, not create.
If Hua Xia really went to war with Country F, the loss of large amounts of funds and personnel would only make the UA military laugh from ear to ear.
They were doing business without capital, so no matter what the result was, it wasn't rational for Hua Xia to take the risk.
Of course, Hua Xia's government wasn't stupid. They blocked all kinds of import and export trade from Country F and stopped the supply of daily necessities, which made Country F's citizens angry.
At this point, the military was still confronting Country F's fleet at sea. Perhaps some hot-blooded soldiers were frustrated, but military orders had to be obeyed. They couldn't do anything.
Yang Chen had seen countless wars, so he knew clearly how tragic it would be if a war really broke out. Therefore, he only took a look at the provocative messages on the internet. In his heart, he still hoped to subdue the enemy without a fight. After all, the soldiers were made of flesh and blood. Why would they go against guns and cannons?
But at the end of last month, An Zaihuan, as the head of the An family, took advantage of the fact that the An family had a lot of ports and cargo ships in the southern province of Hua Xia to quietly transport all kinds of production and chemical materials that were originally prohibited from being sold to Country F.
But at the end of last month, An Zaihuan, as the head of the An family, used the An family's southern province of Hua Xia to quietly transport all kinds of production and chemical materials that were originally prohibited from being sold to Country F.
These raw materials could help Country F alleviate its tight living conditions and produce more weapons for Country F!
If Country F's internal conflict could be alleviated, it meant that the UA could provide support for a longer period of time. Hua Xia, on the other hand, would continue to heat up public opinion, which was likely to cause all kinds of hidden dangers to erupt!
Based on common sense, at such a critical moment, An Zaihuan, an ordinary businessman, would not be able to hide from customs and transport goods to Country F. However, the UA FBI secretly found him.
The FBI's spy was responsible for handling the details, helping An Zaihuan avoid the eyes and ears of the Hua Xia government, and giving An Zaihuan double the profits!
Under such a huge temptation, An Zaihuan was indeed tempted!
It wasn't because he completely trusted the FBI, but because An Zaihuan knew that he had the Rothschild family's shares behind him! And because of the Rothschild family's emblem, his cargo ship could apply for exemption from customs inspection! This was the huge privilege of this ancient and legendary family worldwide!
But he didn't know that the FBI also secretly investigated this point, which was why they chose him as the import channel.
Because the Rothschild family didn't own any country, as long as it could bring in huge profits and didn't cause any substantial harm to the family, they wouldn't reject it.
Therefore, even if they knew that An Zaihuan's actions were using the family's privilege, the Rothschild family wouldn't oppose it. Because a large portion of the profits would be handed over, and if something went wrong, as long as they pushed the blame onto An Zaihuan, the Hua Xia government wouldn't dare to do anything to the Rothschild family.
But there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. After An Zaihuan hid it from his family for half a month, the Department of National Defense and the Security Bureau finally found some clues!
The Department of National Defense's special forces gradually locked onto An Zaihuan, and the cargo ship was stopped.
The Rothschild family saw that the situation was exposed, and they earned a lot of money, so they immediately retreated and pushed all the blame onto An Zaihuan. They only secretly expressed to the Hua Xia government that they wouldn't help An Zaihuan just because of their business relationship.
Seeing that An Zaihuan had nowhere to go and was about to be officially arrested, the US didn't abandon him. They arranged for the FBI agents to smuggle An Zaihuan out of the country, leaving the Department of National Defense empty-handed!
Although this seemed a bit strenuous and unrewarding, it was a precious style of "buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold." The Americans weren't stupid. If they wanted people to be willing to work for them in future wars, they had to treat every pawn they used with respect. Otherwise, who would dare to work for you? Therefore, they were willing to save An Zaihuan, even if he had lost his value.
Because this was a war between ordinary people, there was no need for special forces like the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade to do anything. Otherwise, An Zaihuan wouldn't have been able to escape.
After Anxin finished speaking, he closed his eyes for a long time on Yang Cheng's shoulder before continuing, "A few days ago, he felt that he was going to be arrested, so he asked me to beg you to think of a way to help him. But how could I say it … If it wasn't for you, we would've been eaten by the Liu family long ago. He didn't repent and even committed treason … "
"But you couldn't let go of him, because he's your biological father after all. That's why you're in so much pain. That's why you drink so much at night and come to work late in the day," Yang Cheng let out a long sigh. He was too careless and didn't care enough for the women around him.
Anxin nodded with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry … I know it's wrong to hide it from you, but Yu Lei International happened too … You don't belong to me alone. I can't ask you to leave Sister Lin and the others behind just because that person is in trouble and help me deal with these things. Because of Lu Min, I already feel sorry for Auntie and General Lin. This time, the other party is the Department of National Defense and the FBI, I … I really don't dare to say it … "
Yang Cheng stroked Anxin's hair. This woman was the most 'unqualified' mistress. It was as if she was always worried that he would abandon her. She was always overcautious and always wanted to cater to him, but she was the one who suffered.
"It's okay, I'll help you solve the problem bit by bit. Just follow me obediently," Yang Cheng comforted her and took out his phone. After thinking carefully, he dialed a number.
After the call was picked up, a man's hearty laughter could be heard, "My dear friend, why would Your Majesty Pluto call me at this time? Your wife fought another beautiful business war that left the world speechless. Shouldn't the husband and wife be celebrating?"
"Edward, why didn't you tell me about the An family?" Yang Cheng didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point. Even if the other members of the Rothschild family didn't know him, Yang Cheng was still a little annoyed that his friend of many years, a core member of the family, didn't inform him. It was impossible that Edward didn't know!
Edward smiled bitterly on the other end. "You're too direct. I wanted to get away with it … Yang Chen, I hope you can understand. Although I'm your friend, I'm also one of the successors of the clan. I have to think for our clan …"
"Just because An Zaihuan's business can make money?" Yang Cheng frowned.
"That's right!" Edward admitted straightforwardly, "To us, the Rothschild family, country, race, and territory are all illusory. The reason why we're able to stand tall is because of the fortress that we built with money! As long as we can make huge profits, we're willing to do anything to go to hell. Although An Zaihuan's actions will put Hua Xia in an awkward position, this isn't something we need to consider. We only care about how much profit he can make for us. As for his ending, it depends on his own fate. If I told you beforehand, you would definitely stop him. That would be equivalent to bringing a loss to our family …
As a member of the Rothschild family, I can't do that. I hope you can understand. At the same time, as a friend, I want to apologize to you. "
