Heisen smiled and didn't say anything.
"So if someone else makes something similar to what you've invented, it means that someone else plagiarized it?" Bai Xiaonian had a helpless look on her face. "Aren't you giving us a way out? If that's the case, Heisen, tell me what other inventions or technologies our country is planning to steal from the United States. I'll be mentally prepared … "
The audience burst into laughter again …
I don't know how China can steal things that the United States hasn't invented! Aren't you ashamed to say this?
This time, even Heisen couldn't help but laugh and clap for Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian's phone was on silent mode, so she didn't pick up Lin Nuan's previous calls. The phone slipped out of her trouser pocket and landed on the sofa. Bai Xiaonian picked it up and was about to put it back amid the audience's applause when she saw that it was a WeChat message from Lin Nuan. The corners of Bai Xiaonian's lips curled up. She put the phone back, smoothed her hair, and said to the host, Haisen …
She then combed her long hair and said to the host, Heisen, "While we were chatting, I received news from China. The son of the American consul has been arrested in our country …"
Heisen paused. "What's the matter?"
Bai Xiaonian spread out her hands and pouted. "It's probably the same crime as the United States' arrest of the Kaide Corporation's president!"
Heisen paused. The director's voice came through the earpiece, confirming that this news was true!
Heisen probably hadn't expected Bai Xiaonian's country to make such a swift move this time. A moment later, he asked a more incisive question, "So, the reason why your country made such a big move this time is because you've successfully developed the engine, so you have more confidence?"
Bai Xiaonian smiled at Heisen and nodded. "Of course!"
Bai Xiaonian analyzed the new bomber, the Sky Eye, with Heisen. Its endurance was basically on par with the United States' most powerful bomber, the B2. This thing was equipped with missiles. Missiles, everyone.
Heisen also said that it was still in the testing stage and hadn't been officially put into production. If they were to fight the United States, they would be at a disadvantage.
Bai Xiaonian sat there and analyzed the current international situation with Heisen seriously …
The United States had been acting like they were the big shots in the world for many years, stirring up trouble all over the world. Today, they would beat up those who were disobedient, and tomorrow, they would beat up those who weren't pleasing to the eye. Now, their troops were stirring up trouble in several countries.
But now, both countries were nuclear powers. If they fought, who would be scaring who?!
If the two countries were to fight, the Russian president would be overjoyed. If both sides were to suffer, Russia would immediately take over the United States' position as the world's hegemon.
Bai Xiaonian said that their country wasn't the world's hegemon and wasn't interested in that. But could the US bear to do that?
Bai Xiaonian also said that if a war really broke out, the US arms dealers would be quite happy. She just didn't know what the US taxpayers would think. She was also quite curious to know how many times the US government was prepared to declare bankruptcy.
At the end of the program, Heisen asked if Bai Xiaonian would be attending the press conference in America tomorrow. Bai Xiaonian nodded and said that of course.
Heisen was looking forward to seeing Bai Xiaonian argue with the spokesperson, so he asked Bai Xiaonian what question she was prepared to ask. This was a question that the US government probably wanted to know as well. Bai Xiaonian was simply too difficult to deal with. Every time she asked a question, she would make them speechless. There was even a time when the US spokesperson was rendered speechless.
Regardless of whether it was the White House spokesperson, the State Council spokesperson, or any other department spokesperson, the moment they heard Bai Xiaonian's name, they couldn't help but pray for themselves. Only then did they have the courage to go on stage.
Bai Xiaonian's speech on the program today was to try her best to stir up public opinion and force the US government to release Lu Jinnan.
After the program, Bai Xiaonian was already physically and mentally exhausted. She didn't even have the energy to return Lin Nuan's call …
When the matter concerned the person she deeply loved, Bai Xiaonian couldn't help but feel uneasy. It took her a lot of effort to speak.
The program was a live broadcast, and Bai Xiaonian's words touched many people. Some of her compatriots in the US had already organized groups to raise placards in protest, asking for Lu Jinnan's release. Later, even many Americans joined in.
On the way back, Bai Xiaonian felt warmth in her heart when she saw her compatriots raising placards on the road.
She knew that there would be a tough battle tomorrow.
At the thought of Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian felt as if she had been injected with stimulants. She let out a long exhale and perked up. Now wasn't the time to feel mentally and emotionally exhausted. She still didn't know what Lu Jinnan's situation was, so she had to save him first.
Bai Xiaonian took out her phone from her bag and made a call. She used the connections she had accumulated after coming to the US to find out about Lu Jinnan's news and think of a plan for tomorrow.
Bai Xiaonian was afraid that Lu Jinnan would be accused of being a spy. If he was a spy, things would be difficult to handle …
Lu Jinnan wasn't a staff member of the embassy, so he didn't have diplomatic immunity. If he was accused of this, if the US came up with any "evidence," they could even execute Lu Jinnan.
Fortunately, the son of their consulate's consul had also been arrested!
Bai Xiaonian thought of the possible outcome. It might even be an exchange …
However, at the thought of how Lu Jinnan might suffer in there, Bai Xiaonian's heart tightened.
After returning home, Bai Xiaonian downed a few cups of coffee and returned Lin Nuan's call. She told Lin Nuan not to worry, that she had people protecting her, and nothing would go wrong.
"Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to Lu Jinnan! "Bai Xiaonian gripped her coffee cup tightly." I haven't divorced that scoundrel yet! "
Lin Nuan knew that Bai Xiaonian said those words out of anger, so she didn't take it seriously. She only told Bai Xiaonian not to force herself too much. Fu Huai 'an had already gone to the US, and with him around, he would definitely rescue Lu Jinnan.
After hanging up the call, Bai Xiaonian didn't idle around. She flipped through the section on immunity, wanting to find a clause that would apply to Lu Jinnan.
She didn't sleep for the entire night. By the time Bai Xiaonian raised her head from the documents and books, the sky was already bright.
Bai Xiaonian rubbed her sore neck and glanced at the time. It was already past 7: 40 in the morning!
Seeing that she was running out of time, Bai Xiaonian washed her face and put on light makeup out of respect. She didn't even eat breakfast before leaving with a stack of documents.
Even though Bai Xiaonian felt that as a reporter, all the hard work she put in might not achieve the result she wanted, she had no way out this time. For Lu Jinnan's sake, she had to give it her all.
…
After Lu Jinnan got into trouble, Lin Nuan hadn't been able to sleep well. Fu Huai 'an was afraid that he would disturb Lin Nuan's rest after arriving in the US, so he sent her a message to let her know that he was safe.
After Lin Nuan saw the message, she told Fu Huai 'an that Liang Mulan would come over to take care of her and Tuan Tuan, telling him not to worry. She didn't say anything else.
