"Well, I haven't paid much attention; I'm mainly concerned about other things." Chen Dong wasn't lying; he'd been keeping an eye on copper futures and the financial markets in Mexico and Brazil, and hadn't really been paying attention to grain prices. "This has a significant impact on our country?"

"Of course it will have some impact. According to domestic experts, this is just the beginning; they will take a series of actions afterward. And that's not all; they've reached out to us through various channels, demanding that the country no longer provide you with asylum!"

Hearing Secretary Wang say that, Chen Dong felt a pang of anxiety.

He knew that he had offended the Freemasons, yet he was still alive and well here because he had a powerful motherland supporting him, which prevented them from acting recklessly. Otherwise, they would have to bear the heavy pressure and retaliation from China.

Although China's overall strength is not as great as that of the Freemasons and the organizations they control, it is still capable of concentrating its forces on one point and dealing a heavy blow to the Freemasons.

"Then, what does Elder Lin mean?"

"Of course we'll protect you. Many high-ranking leaders, including Elder Lin, have suggested that we refuse their unreasonable demands. Elder Lin said that we established the new China precisely to protect our compatriots and prevent them from being bullied by foreigners! Elder Lin also said that if we don't protect our patriots, then we are not a true communist party!" Secretary Wang said directly without beating around the bush.

His words reminded Chen Dong of his father and mother.

They have always been so self-centered and self-loving.

In dangerous situations, they always think about protecting themselves first.

Now, my own country is protecting me in the same way.

A surge of warmth welled up in my heart.

I was deeply moved.

This is my motherland!

My beloved motherland.

"So, has our country's grain trade been greatly affected?" Chen Dong asked worriedly.

"You don't need to worry about that. You should take care of your own affairs first! Make sure to strengthen your security around you and don't give the other side any opportunity!"

"Don't worry, I have a large team of bodyguards around me at all times, they will protect me well."
