Chapter 1844: Chapter 1844 was not worth it (the first one asked for a monthly ticket)
At this time, the Qin family was in a luxurious house in the western suburbs of the imperial capital. Qin Baye sat in front of the sofa and watched the television without blinking.
The television was broadcasting news from the United States.
Qin Baye was already over 70 years old, but because he had dealt with foreigners in his early years, he had learned English very well.
There was no problem in watching English television programs.
As he watched, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He was very confused.
They had sent over a DNA sample from Gu Nianzhi’s birth, and it was the only DNA sample they had left. How did it become Wen Shouyi?
A few days ago, Luo Le had sent someone to send him a letter asking Wen Shouyi to go to the United States. Qin Baye had thought that they were going to discuss saving Qin yaoguang.
In the end, Wen Shouyi had become the person closest to the perfect gene!
What was going on?
Qin Baye had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
However, on the television, Luo Le was beaming with joy as he testified at the Congressional hearing in the United States. He told the people in power in the United States that Luo Le’s group had achieved a small achievement in human gene research.
However, their small achievement was a huge improvement in the history of human evolution!
Qin Baye stood up with his cane and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. He was lost in thought as he looked at the night sky outside the window.
As far as his eyes could see, there was a small garden. It was early summer night, and the wind was a little hot. It blew in through the half-open floor-to-ceiling window.
The evening fragrance in front of the window was as white as jade. It was as moving as the Epiphyllum, and there was also a faint fragrance.
Qin Baye’s gaze fell on the evening fragrance, and he suddenly felt a wave of irritation. He took his cane and went out to destroy all the evening fragrance before he felt a little better.
“Cousin-grandfather, are you okay?”Qin Baye’s grandnephew, Qin Haishan, walked over and held his arm as they walked up the stairs.
Qin Baye smiled and said, “I’m fine, I just can’t stand the smell of this flower.”
After saying that, he sighed and said, “Your Aunt Hates Night Epiphyllum the most, but she likes this night fragrant jade that is somewhat similar to night epiphyllum the most. There are so many at home. Sigh… She’s so stubborn. Otherwise, how would she end up in this state today? !”
Qin Haoshan felt very uncomfortable when he heard that and quickly comforted him, “Cousin-grandfather, aunt will definitely be fine. Won’t the United States put pressure on the government? Just you wait…”
“Mm, let’s see what they will do tomorrow. I’m old. From now on, this family will depend on you guys.”Qin Baye raised his head and looked at his tall and handsome grandnephew, he nodded kindly, “Haoshan, you’re a good person, but just like your Auntie, you’re a little stubborn. There are plenty of fish in the sea, why do you have to fall in love with a single flower?”
Qin Haoshan:”…”
He smiled awkwardly, unwilling to talk about this topic. He helped Qin Baye to lie down on the bed and covered him with a thin blanket. He said, “You should rest early. You still have to wait to see how the government will respond tomorrow.”
..
That night, many people in Imperial City did not sleep well.
At three o’clock in the morning in Imperial City, which was three o’clock in the afternoon in the United States, the United States Congress released the White Paper on human rights in China.
The central topic of this five-hundred-page White Paper was Qin Yaoguang.
The Huaxia Empire had ignored the basic human rights of the famous female scientist Qin Yaoguang and had severely corrupted the administration of justice.
A certain high-ranking general had used his power for the sake of women and had listened to the slanderous words of a villain. Without a formal trial, he had brazenly thrown Qin yaoguang into prison.
The Huaxia Empire’s government was almost fully approved by the United States Congress. They also announced that if they did not release Qin Yaoguang unconditionally, they would start a trade war, the Huaxia Empire would impose high tariffs on all products exported to the United States!
..
The Huaxia Empire’s Cabinet Prime Minister, Xie Beichen, the Senate’s speaker, Long Zhixue, and major general he zhichu of the military were all woken up by the secretary almost at the same time.
“Prime Minister Xie, the news from the United States has come out.”
Xie Beichen immediately woke up.
They had received the news long ago and knew that the United States would do something evil. Although they had been prepared, they were still a little nervous when they heard that the other party had finally made a move.
“… What kind of news is it? What’s going on?”
“… It’s for Ms. Qin Yaoguang,”the Secretary said in a low voice as she read the news summary to Xie Beichen.
Xie beichen hurriedly changed his clothes and said, “Where are speaker long and major general he?”
“Someone went to call them. Are we still going to hold the meeting according to the original plan?”
“Yes, we’re going to hold the meeting according to the original plan.”
..
At four o’clock in the morning in the imperial capital, the Cabinet Prime Minister, Xie Beichen, the Senate’s upper house, Long Zhichu, and he zhichu from the military were already sitting in the meeting room of the Supreme Committee of the Imperial Army, which had the most stringent security measures, they re-watched the brief news sent by the United States.
The white paper sent by the United States Congress was very long, but the content was very poor.
It was a cliché, but the topic was very novel.
This time, they brazenly named only Qin Yaoguang.
“… using all the trade between China and the United States as a condition to exchange for Qin Yaoguang’s freedom, they are really determined.”Speaker long flipped through the “China’s white paper on human rights.” He said expressionlessly.
“China’s foreign trade with the United States reached 500 billion US dollars last year. 500 billion US dollars, only one person is needed.”Xie Beichen’s brows were tightly furrowed. “What should we do?”
“What should we do?”He Zhichu’s brows were stern. “Do the two of you still want to agree?”
Xie beichen sighed. He looked like he had aged ten years. “It’s not a matter of whether I want to or not. With our financial situation, do we really have to go head-to-head with the Americans?”
“This is a method of killing a thousand enemies and harming a thousand of ourselves. They can both lose, but we can’t…”speaker long also looked at Xie Beichen with some hesitation.
Xie beichen nodded at him. The two of them had similar thoughts.
Only he zhichu firmly expressed his opposition.
This meeting should have been attended by his father, but his father was currently recuperating in the hospital. The surgery was scheduled for tomorrow, so after he obtained the consent of prime minister Xie and speaker long, he temporarily attended on behalf of his father.
He placed his hands on the conference table and said seriously, “I don’t understand your diplomacy or your economy, but I do understand law and military affairs
“I only know that when the other party wants a person at all costs, they must not agree
“It’s just like fighting a war. Even if we are not as strong as the other party, when the other party goes all out to seize a highland that is unimportant to us, I know that we must defend this highland no matter what
“Because the other party spent so much effort to seize this highland, it must be because this place has benefits that exceed their cost.”
“It doesn’t matter if we don’t understand it now. As long as the person is in our hands, the other party will definitely carefully weigh the pros and cons and won’t go all out.”
“Major general he sounds nice, but are you sure?”Xie Beichen asked unhappily, “You also said that you don’t understand the economy. “Then let me tell you. If a trade war really breaks out, how many factories will close down, foreign trade will fall sharply, the surplus will decrease, and even expand to the deficit. The economic situation will be very ugly.”
Speaker long nodded. “Yes, we are such a big country. Once the economy is in trouble, the people will not agree.”
“… If the other party imposes a tariff, our economy will be in trouble. Forgive me for being blunt, prime minister Xie, but this is a grave breach of duty,”he zhichu said calmly.
The corner of Xie Beichen’s mouth twitched twice, and he said with a wry smile, “Major General He, you really dare to say that. I’m not wearing this hat. I was just telling you about the serious consequences of the trade war. Why Is it related to my breach of duty?”
“May I ask how I derelict my duty? I’ve been racking my brains for the sake of the cabinet, for the sake of developing the economy…”
Speaker long saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, so he quickly came out to smooth things over. “Alright, Alright. Don’t be anxious, both of you. Everyone is doing this for the country and the people. It’s all out of kindness. Let’s sit down and talk slowly.”
“Talk about what?”He zhichu slapped the table, he said coldly, “According to me, it’s not even daybreak yet, so shoot Qin Yaoguang immediately! Tomorrow morning, during office hours, respond to the white paper from the United States and tell them that they were a step too late. Qin Yaoguang is already dead!”
Prime Minister Xie and speaker long stared at he zhichu, unable to believe their ears.
Qin Yaoguang was once he chengjian’s remarried wife, which was also he zhichu’s stepmother. Moreover, she was his savior. How could she be so ruthless? !
“… Major General he, with all due respect, may I ask if there is any real evidence in Qin Yaoguang’s case?”Xie Beichen couldn’t help sneering.
Wasn’t it because of that Gu Nianzhi?
He felt bad for his niece, Xie qingying.
Gu Nianzhi used to be he zhichu’s fiancée. Gu Nianzhi was the main lead in Qin Yaoguang’s case.
“… so the United States said that a certain high-ranking general used his power for personal gain for the sake of women. Major General He, do you know who this person is?”Speaker Long also spoke up for Xie Beichen.
“Why is there no real evidence?”He zhichu said calmly. “She cooperated with Qin Baye and used a subsonic weapon to deal with me. She attempted to murder me. Isn’t this called real evidence?”
“… but this case hasn’t been tried publicly.”Speaker long frowned, “And I heard that the Supreme Court of the military is reviewing this case. They feel that Qin Yaoguang didn’t have the conditions to mobilize the subsonic weapon because she was imprisoned by the military at that time. How would she have the opportunity to plan this operation?”
Speaker Long had the right to know the whole story regarding matters related to the law.
However, most of the time, he didn’t have the time to pay attention to every case, so he could only devote his limited energy to a few important cases.
Every year, Speaker Long would have a copy of the cases sent to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Military Court for review.
He wouldn’t interfere with the administration of justice, but he would understand the direction of the administration of justice and the demands of the people. This way, he could be more targeted when formulating the law.
Indeed, he zhichu’s case of he zhichu being injured by the infrasound weapon could not be tried publicly because there was too much confidential information involved.
Gu Nianzhi had told Qin yaoguang about the kidnapping case eight years ago because it was related to Gu Nianzhi’s background. He Zhichu did not want others to notice Gu Nianzhi’s special genes, so he did not want this case to be tried publicly.
“Then what should we do?”Speaker long shook his head, he sighed. “You don’t know how fast the Americans are. They’ll stir up online public opinion and incite some netizens who want to see the world in chaos to become online judges. They’ll demand that a lot of information they don’t have the authority to know be made public, and then the online trial will take place.”
“If we don’t do this, it’ll be a problem with our judicial system. Each and every one of us is more capable than judges, lawyers, prosecutors, and police officers with real professional backgrounds.”Xie Beichen also slapped the table and said angrily.
Any judicial system would have a wrong judgment. This point existed in any country and had nothing to do with the system.
However, using a wrong judgment to attack the entire social system and system would be harboring evil intentions. It was both stupid and poisonous.
He Zhichu thought for a long time and finally said, “Let’s not respond first. We’ll decide after we see the public’s reaction.”
“Okay, I agree.”Speaker long immediately nodded. He did not want to submit to the United States, but he also did not want his country’s economy to be damaged, so he was in a dilemma.
Prime Minister Xie nodded reluctantly. “Okay, then we’ll wait another day. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs can not respond too late. It will be very passive.”
After the meeting ended, it was already bright outside.
He Zhichu had a meeting in the middle of the night and was very tired.
He took a private car back to the he family’s mansion and saw a familiar silhouette standing by the iron gate of the mansion. He was looking down at his phone.
He Zhichu smiled and got out of the car, striding over. “Nianzhi, why are you here so early?”
