"Why aren't we leaving? Are we going to stay here and wait for our deaths? "
Jiang Yuanchao growled in a low voice.
Old Tan gave him a look. This was the plan that they had agreed on earlier. Once they realized that something had gone wrong, Chen Guang and Jiang Yuanchao would stand out even though they already had a perfect plan. After all, the two bald men were too eye-catching.
The others didn't even need Old Tan's reminder. As soon as they sensed that something was wrong, they started to move out.
The angry martial artists didn't pay much attention to the group of young and strong people sitting in the front row. All their attention was on the old men on the podium.
As for the others, they could leave if they wanted to. Although the young and strong people often appeared on TV, in the eyes of the martial artists, these middle-aged and strong people were not important. There was no need to waste their energy on them.
They knew that the ones in charge were these old men. They were even more wary of what the old man in the middle was relying on.
They heard that many years ago, there was a destructive weapon called the atomic bomb. Could it be that these people buried an atomic bomb underground?
That was too much!
Although we are martial artists, only a small number of our sects are sent here. The rest of us are not core members. Even if you blow us up here, you will be the one at a disadvantage.
Even if we all die here, our sect won't suffer a huge loss, okay?
However, they thought too highly of the old men. This place was only a few hundred kilometers away from Yan Jin. Even if there was a nuclear bomb, it was impossible to blow it up here. Wouldn't they be condemned for all eternity?
The old man in the middle was a little anxious. He had been at a stalemate with the martial artists for almost a minute. Most of the people in the meeting room had already left. Only Chen Guang and Jiang Yuanchao remained where they were.
Originally, he planned to wait until everyone left before revealing the sign. However, if this situation continued for too long, the martial artists would think that he was bluffing.
Old Master Jin also gave Chen Guang a look, but this time, Chen Guang ignored him. He shook his head slightly, telling them to do whatever they wanted and not to worry about him.
Seeing him like this, the old man in the middle took a deep breath. There was nothing else he could do. He waved his hand again and pressed a button. Eight different images suddenly appeared on the large projection screen behind him. They were all real-time recordings of the surveillance cameras.
Chen Guang glanced over and felt his scalp tingle.
He regretted acting cool here. To be honest, he wasn't particularly afraid of martial artists, but what the hell were these eight missiles!
You guys are playing so big, but our Lady Liuli might not be able to save me, okay?
Eight images, eight missiles. Around the missiles were different scenes. There was a lush forest and a barren hill.
Of course, the two most exciting ones were the two big guys that appeared next to the house.
That's right, this house looked very familiar. It was exactly the same as the building they were in at the moment, one in front of the other in the back.
Someone poked his head out of the window to take a look and gasped.
As expected, it turned out that the floor of the courtyard downstairs had opened up at some point, revealing the pitch-black launcher below. Half of its shiny silver body poked out of the soil and planted itself on the ground like a large mushroom.
The people near the window also looked outside. That's right, there was one in the front and one in the back of the building.
The old man in the middle raised his right hand, holding a metal box in his palm. The box was tied to his wrist, and there was a red button in the middle.
"Everyone, as you can see, these are eight missiles. I don't think I need to say more about their specific power. You should know a little. Don't think that you will be safe if you kill me here. As long as my heart stops beating, the missiles will explode. Within thirty seconds, everything within a few kilometers will be razed to the ground. You won't be able to fly out even if you have wings! "
The old man in the middle said in an extremely indifferent tone, as if he was not going to sacrifice his own life.
The martial artists really didn't expect this group of "pampered" people in power to be able to do this.
What kind of enemy was the most terrifying?
An enemy who could take their own life, and who was not afraid of death, was the most terrifying.
The people in power of this generation seemed to be a little different from the emperors of the past few thousand years?
Many people had this kind of thought in their minds.
"I said that we are not afraid of death. Do you believe me now?" The old man in the middle said again. Even if any martial artist here could poke him to the ground with a finger, at this moment, his old body was bursting with an indomitable spirit, causing people to not dare to look directly at him.
The martial artists were incomparably confused. What went wrong?
Twenty or thirty years ago, weren't they as weak as the emperors of the past?
Why did they suddenly become unafraid of death?
Since ancient times, hadn't all emperors been greedy for life and afraid of death?
In a sense, there was nothing wrong with the martial artists' judgment.
No one wanted to die.
But although this group of old men had the help of modern medicine, at this age, they probably didn't have many years left to live. Compared to going down to their coffins in humiliation and leaving behind endless troubles for their descendants, they would rather use their bodies that didn't have many years left to live to fight for one last breath and get rid of some cancer for their descendants.
Their thinking was very straightforward. It didn't matter if they lived a few years less. This authority would ultimately belong to their descendants, and that was enough.
They had made concessions twenty or thirty years ago because they hadn't even taken half a step into the gates of hell at that time. Or perhaps it was because it would be useless even if they fought back then, and it would only be a meaningless sacrifice.
But times were different now. If they had the ability, they could fight for it.
The old men might not be so noble, but they would weigh the pros and cons every time they made a decision. It was just that their decision this time was too unyielding.
Of course, there was a young man in the scene who was in an especially awkward situation.
Master Guang didn't even have the mood to complain. Are you going to blow this place up? Why didn't you say so earlier?
If I knew you were so fierce, who would want to accompany you to the heavens!
I'd rather reason with martial artists than see those two huge lumps of metal down there, alright?
Everyone, ignore me. Let me go a few hundred kilometers away and have some peace and quiet.
Old man, don't be rash. Put down that lousy box, and we can still be friends!
I wonder if my Lorie can teleport me to another place if it really blows up. Just the thought of it is a little too exciting.
Lorie silently replied with two words, "Hehe."
Alright, it seemed like Madam Lorie was going to quit. She must have given up all hope on her ability to court death.
In response, Chen Guang shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Who could've expected that the old gentlemen would go so far? Initially, the situation was still under his control, but the sudden appearance of these two things made his scalp go numb.
Although he was moved by your spirit of facing death unflinchingly, there was clearly still room for discussion. Can you still eat after putting down the butcher's knife?
If I die, I can at least die a little more heroically. It wouldn't feel good to be turned into ashes in an instant!
Your bodies are precious. Maybe you can drop a gold ring or something after being burned, but I'm still young. Isn't it too much of a pity to burn me like this?
No, why would it be missiles?
Normally, wouldn't it be easier to just bury high-energy explosives?
Wouldn't it be superfluous to set up two missiles?
Moreover, the explosive power of high-energy explosives was easier to control and less likely to accidentally injure others. For example, people like Secretary Ma who had already escaped, but no one knew where they went.
That's right, these were definitely blanks!
"They're blanks, right? Damned old man, don't scare us! "
Holy sh * t, someone had already shouted it out!
Chen Guang looked up and saw a middle-aged man pulling out a long saber from his waist. He was already standing in front of the rostrum. The martial artists didn't have their weapons confiscated, and they weren't that obedient either.
At this time, Jiang Yage's grandfather spoke. "Someone wanted to set off blanks, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control you, so I did it. Don't worry, I guarantee that it's live ammunition. I, Old Jiang, have fought in wars all my life, and I don't like to set off blanks. Only the brave will win. If you want to risk your lives, I, Old Jiang, will risk my life with you!"
When Jiang Yage's grandfather said this, Chen Guang keenly noticed that the old man's hand, which was holding the button box, trembled subtly.
Damn, the old man really thought it was blanks!
No wonder he was Jiang Yage's grandfather. He really knew how to play!
The other old men seemed to be a little shocked as well. They all widened their eyes as if they wanted to skin Old Jiang alive.
"Why are you all looking at me? Isn't my son sitting down there too? Do you still want to play this game at a time like this? " Old Jiang was a little embarrassed. He looked as if he was saying, "How can you old men drop the ball at this critical moment!"
Jiang Yuanchao was already speechless. Dad, you really know how to trick people!
At first, Chen Guang was also scared to tears by Old Jiang. He wondered why the old man's brain was so big. The reactions of the other old men were also a little unexpected.
But after watching for a long time, he still found some clues. Something was not right. Something was not right.
For such an important decision, no matter how bad Jiang Yage's grandfather was, it was impossible for him to make it in private. The reactions of the other old men seemed a little too deliberate? It felt very out of place.
That's right, out of place!
For the first time, Chen Guang realized that when a person's understanding of acting reached an unprecedented level, there were really many unexpected benefits.
Especially when others were acting in front of him, he could easily see through them, see through the surface, and get to the essence.
The old men's acting skills were really superb. No wonder the best actors were all in the political circle. This was not without reason.
But they still couldn't hide it from Chen Guang.
The other old men deliberately pretended that they didn't know anything, just to make the martial artists present believe that the missile was real!
The purpose of setting up the missile was also to make these martial artists more shocked and obedient.
"Everyone, now can you all sit down and have a good talk? We invited you here with the intention of communicating with everyone. If it's not necessary, who would want to die together with you? "
The old man in the middle seemed to have spent a lot of effort to calm down. He spoke into the microphone again, but his voice was slightly trembling.
Chen Guang gave Su Tao 32 thumbs up. Su Tao's acting skills were superb. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a grandmaster of the World Faction, he might have been fooled by Su Tao.
The internal force martial artists seemed to be in a difficult position. In Jianghu, ability came second, and face came first. Face was more important than the sky.
Although they were scared to death, they were not willing to admit defeat easily.
But if they could live, who would want to meet the King of Hell easily?
At this time, everyone was still in a deadlock, just because they couldn't save their face.
But as long as they didn't continue to pressure the old men, it seemed that their lives wouldn't be in danger. Although they were old, one of the old men's son was also in the audience.
That's right, that bald man must be the old man's son.
The little bald man hiding under the table should be the grandson of the old man who set up the missile. There were three generations in the family, they were really hardworking.
At this time, the old man in the middle suddenly clutched his chest with a pained expression. He held onto the table with one hand and was about to collapse.
"Oh no! The old general is having a heart attack! Quick! Medicine! "
Tan Zhaohua screamed at the back.
Chen Guang, Jiang Yuanchao, and the other internal force martial artists in the conference room were also dumbfounded.
Old man, you just said that if your heart stopped, you would explode. Now you suddenly have a heart attack. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to scare us into having a heart attack?
This is such a serious occasion, don't make trouble!
If you blew everyone up just because you had a heart attack, what kind of injustice would that be?
After a few more minutes, the old man's pale face finally recovered. He waved his hand and said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry. Actually, I'm just forcing myself to hold on. I don't know if a blank cartridge will turn into a live one, so I'm under a little more pressure."
"Let's sit down and talk."
"Yes, that's right. When we get back, we'll definitely convey your words to our faction leader. Everything can be discussed. Please don't be angry, old man."
"Old leader, I have a special Heart Calming Pill here. It's not inferior to the pills produced by Thousand Flower Valley. Please take it."
"Although we are martial artists, we actually have a chivalrous heart. It's just that sometimes we're a little hot-tempered. I'm really sorry if we offended you just now."
This time, it was really good. The excitement of the crowd just now had long dissipated beyond the highest heavens after such a torment.
Previously, everyone was fearless because they felt that they were powerful. Now that there were two big guys downstairs, and there was a possibility of an explosion, who wouldn't panic?
Turn around and run now?
What if he really pressed the button after being pushed into a corner?
Also, there were so many Jianghu people here, why wasn't anyone smart enough to take the lead and run first?
Everyone represented the face of their respective sects. Whoever took the lead first would be the first to back down. They couldn't afford to lose face.
Most importantly, as long as they knew their place, the situation could still be controlled.
"Thank you for your understanding. We really want to communicate with everyone today. If you have any opinions, you can slowly talk to us after the meeting. This isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. If we don't communicate, how can we improve our understanding? If that's the case, shall we continue? "
The old man in the middle asked someone to bring a chair over and sat down with some difficulty. His right hand continued to press the button and place the box on the table.
"That's right, Old Chief is right! Fellow Jianghu people, please calm down. Today isn't the time to make the final decision. Communication is the most important thing. Old Chief, please don't be angry. I believe that everyone in the Jianghu is chivalrous! I'm Sima Bei from the Special Affairs Bureau. Please return to your seats on account of our many years of friendship. "
The Deputy Director of the Special Affairs Bureau, Sima Bei, who had been sitting in the front row without making a move, finally stood up to speak. Ouyang Tianxing could not refuse, but the Special Affairs Bureau still needed a heavyweight.
As Ouyang Tianxing's confidant, Sima Bei had interacted with many people in the Jianghu over the years. He had some influence in the Jianghu.
With him taking the lead, the others followed suit and returned to their seats. Although they still felt apprehensive when they saw the button box in the old man's hand, the situation was not as intense as before.
At this moment, Chen Guang was completely convinced. In the past, he had always thought that governing a country was akin to cooking a small dish was a joke, and it was a poisonous chicken soup for those ordinary people who could only revolve around pots and pans or simple meals.
He really did not understand how capable the old men were. He even thought that Old Man Jin and Old Man Jiang were a little muddle-headed.
However, this unique meeting today had taught him a harsh lesson.
In the face of such a complicated situation, they used such an unreasonable and even childish method to control the situation that seemed to be hanging by a thread.
He was pretending to have a heart attack!
National affairs sometimes looked complicated, but when it came to actual matters, it did not seem that profound.
It was the same philosophy of dealing with people and things. Using the right method at the right time, even if it was a heart attack, could bring peace to the world!
After a round of commotion, many of the young and strong people who had just left returned one after another. They did not know what had happened, but they saw the originally unruly martial artists sitting upright and still, as obedient as primary school students. They were all very surprised.
"Ahem, then let's continue. Oh, right, where was I?"
"Old Chief, you just finished your PowerPoint presentation."
Secretary Chu came over and whispered.
"Ass Kick?"
"Uh, those pictures that talked about technological progress. I'm done."
The old man in the middle nodded in realization. "Oh, right. If it's colored pictures, then so be it. Why did you have to give it such an inelegant name? Alright, everyone, I'm done. Next, let's welcome our newly established department, Director of Guangding General Bureau, Comrade Chen Guang, to give a speech. He will briefly introduce the scope of the new department. The goal is the same as before, to maintain communication and make progress together. "
Sima Bei's face stiffened. Although he had long known about the existence of this so-called Guangding General Bureau, he had just stepped forward to help calm the situation, and now you're going to bring a new department to the front stage?
Aren't you slapping me in the face in public?
Master Guang did not care what Sima Bei was thinking, but he himself was extremely frustrated.
I've just recovered from the great shock, and you're asking me to give a speech on stage now?
Oh, right, what exactly is the function of this Guangding General Bureau?
Why can't I have any idea at the moment?
Chen Guang began to recall the document he had read about the establishment of the Guangding General Bureau. However, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was full of bold words, but when it came to the specific functions of his department, they were all unknown. To put it bluntly, he was in the dark.
No matter how he thought about it, he could only think about what Xin Qin and Wu Miaowan were doing in the Five Capitals. There was nothing else.
However, he did not have much time to hesitate. Tan Zhaohua had already walked down from the rostrum. "Come, Little Chen, hurry up and come up."
Chen Guang braced himself and followed Old Man Tan to the rostrum. Unknowingly, when he stepped onto the stage, many of the old gentlemen who were still on the stage parted to make way for him, imperceptibly creating a sense of extraordinarily respectable presence for him.
Chen Guang, who knew how much he was worth, did not feel proud at all. Instead, he only felt like he had been cheated. Bastards! You're trying to make me a scapegoat!
He stood in the middle of the rostrum and coughed lightly. Alright, this was a test microphone, and the effect was pretty good.
However, before he could speak, the audience gradually began to clamor.
"How could it be him?"
"Heavens! So it's him! "
"This Guangding General Bureau is incredible!"
"No wonder they have the courage to talk to us now. So the Wen family has already gotten so close to these people?"
In the crowd, the sword-wielding nun's expression was calm, as if she had already expected this. She sighed and said, "I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for this young man."
The beautiful woman in colorful clothes was carefree. "It's a blessing if he can endure it. If he can't, then he's trash. Who told an ordinary person like him to mess around with the daughter of the Wen family."
"But I think he looks like he has a card up his sleeve."
"Of course, that little girl has her eyes set on the top of her head. Even if a man who can catch her eye doesn't cultivate Inner Force, there should still be something special about him."
Alright, at this time, the person who was the most confused was still Chen Guang. To be honest, he had thought that he had concealed himself very well. Now that he had suddenly stepped onto the stage at such a young age, these martial artists should more or less show some unconvinced expressions, but why did they all look like they had suddenly realized something. It was as if they had known him for a long time!
This feeling was very strange and annoying!
It was as if he had sung a folk song in the shower and thought that no one would know, but in the end, it was broadcasted to the whole world. It was so embarrassing.
Why does it seem like everyone knows who I am, but I am the only one who is kept in the dark?
"Greetings, Mr. Chen."
Finally, someone was the first to stand up and salute Chen Guang to show respect.
With someone taking the lead, the others followed one after another. The name of the Wen family was really useful.
The three great families of the Jianghu had existed for a long time. Although the Wen family seemed to be showing signs of decline in the past few decades, the appearance of Wenwen, who had reached the Wen Zong realm, instantly brought the family back to the peak.
The Jianghu was a world where the strong were respected, and strength made the rules.
Moreover, this gentleman was the man that the Wen family's sect leader had personally announced that he would protect.
This is the man I like. You guys take it easy. Although he has no ability and is just an ordinary person, whoever dares to touch him is touching my life. I will definitely not live under the same sky as you.
Old Man Jin and Old Man Jiang were also aware of this. The two of them patted Chen Guang's shoulder from behind.
Old Man Jin said in a low voice, "If you have any thoughts, just speak your mind. Your backing is stronger than you think."
Chen Guang finally understood. He understood everything!
No wonder the old gentlemen thought so highly of me. It seems like you guys believe in Wenwen's taste!
I say, have the two of you ever thought that since the Old Man has taken a liking to Wenwen, he would still be able to hook up with your granddaughter?
No, Wenwen must have released some other information. However, there was no time to pursue it now. Let's deal with this matter first and ask about it later.
There was no other way. He could only bring out the aura he had in the Sea of Time.
He raised his hands and slowly pressed them down, indicating for everyone to be quiet. When the hall was completely silent, he slowly said, "Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to meet you."
No! This opening was too lacking in aura!
"I am Chen Guang, the first director of the General Directorate of Guangding, Chen Guang. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Alright, it was still lacking in aura.
"Everyone here comes from all over the world. It is fate that we are able to meet here."
Very good. The aura was slowly rising.
"In the past many years, you have mostly dealt with the Special Affairs Bureau. In the future, you will have to deal with me."
The eyes of the many old men lit up. This was the feeling they wanted!
