643: Chapter 643: Are You Willing?
At dusk, in the sea region of Kinmen Island.
Under the violent live-fire bombardment by the Yanxia Eastern Sea Fleet, the group of ships from Bend Province was terrified, and eventually, they could only make repeated turns…
retreating from the Kinmen Island sea region.
The fleet from Bend Province fled.
However, Bend Province did not let this go, that very night at 20:00.
The so-called official media of Bend Province directly issued a condemnation statement!
Strongly condemning Yanxia for maliciously seizing their Bend Province’s Kinmen Island territory!
And the so-called foreign affairs department of Bend Province even directly called Yanxia’s foreign affairs department to condemn!
The foreign affairs department of Yanxia also firmly responded…
stating that Kinmen Island had been Yanxia’s territory since ancient times!
Moreover, Kinmen Island was flagged with Yanxia’s national flag!
The island also had a large population of Yanxia’s citizens!
Naturally, Yanxia should deploy warships to protect the island.
But the authorities in Bend Province strongly resisted and condemned it, refusing to acknowledge it!
Bend Province also held a leadership press conference, publicly condemning Yanxia for lacking martial ethics!
Firmly correcting the record, saying Kinmen Island was their Bend Island’s territory!
This was Yanxia’s national aggression!
Overnight, Chen Bu’e, far away in the Imperial Capital, also immediately held a press conference, assembling domestic and foreign media for interviews.
At the press conference, Chen Bu’e also powerfully responded, claiming…
that Bend Province was originally just a province of Yanxia!
The entire territory of Bend Province was Yanxia’s, and naturally, Kinmen Island was too!
Moreover, the people on Kinmen now were all from Min Province.
This was because Chen Xiu had sent a large number of underworld forces to station in Kinmen.
This statement rendered the officials across the strait in Bend Province speechless.
…
At night, at the old Su Family residence.
Lin Shuang and the Su Family relatives were sitting at the dining table, having just watched Yanxia’s press conference.
Seeing Chen Bu’e fiercely retorting Bend Province on the press conference, the Su Family relatives clapped and cheered.
Lin Shuang couldn’t help but nod, thinking that Chen Bu’e, though old, had handled this situation quite well.
After hosting the press meeting, Chen Bu’e left in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuang, within the Su Family estate, suddenly received a call from Chen Bu’e.
Lin Shuang hurriedly stepped out of the estate, making sure no one was around before answering the phone.
In the phone call, Chen Bu’e praised Lin Shuang for his actions in seizing Kinmen Island the previous night.
This was the first time Chen Bu’e had praised Lin Shuang.
On the phone, Chen Bu’e suddenly shifted his tone, solemnly reminding him, “King of the Underworld, the affair of your seizing Kinmen Island…
has already caused a sensation in the Imperial Capital.
I have used the power of the Military Intelligence Department to suppress your identity.
Currently, even those high officials in the Forbidden City…
do not know that the commander of the takeover was you.
You must keep a low profile these days, and don’t stir up any more troubles.
Otherwise, once discovered by the authorities in the Imperial Capital, even I won’t be able to protect you.”
Those old fools in the Imperial Capital, I will eventually confront them.”
Having said that, Lin Shuang dismissed Chen Bu’e’s further admonitions and hung up the phone abruptly.
After returning to the estate, old master Su Huguo, in front of all the relatives present, suddenly approached Lin Shuang for a talk.
“Xiao Lin, I can see that you have been looking after Wanqiao beautifully.
These days, you have risked your life to protect the Su Family, to vindicate us…
seizing Kinmen Island…
I have observed all your deeds.
Eh, Wanqiao is not getting any younger.
Xiao Lin, brother, I have a request and I hope you can agree,” old master Su Huguo said gravely.
Lin Shuang replied, “Elder, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will do my best.”
Su Huguo said solemnly, “In my life…
I owe Wanqiao too much.
Back then, her father started a business, which I scorned, and thus I drove her father out of the Su Family.
All these years, I have never fulfilled a grandfather’s responsibilities.
Now, at the end, it was Wanqiao who saved me.
Now that Wanqiao is almost thirty years old.
A woman at thirty, it’s also time for her to start a family…”
“Xiao Lin, today I’ll play matchmaker.
I entrust Wanqiao to you.
Are you willing?”
