Chapter 494 Leader
"These things weren't researched under my primary leadership, so blaming me won't help."
Aretha was still a young lady at heart, so she naturally couldn't accept someone being so disrespectful in front of her, and she warned in a cold voice.
Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air, as if neither of them would let the other go.
When Chen Zhu saw this, he stepped in between them in time and made a stop gesture.
"These things... have finally come to an end, and I've finally had some time to rest. Do we really have to keep arguing?"
Aretha, who had been locked up here for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought she needed to go out for a walk, so she didn't say anything.
Mu Yun also snorted coldly and restrained himself from continuing to speak, but the eyes of the two were still filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
"You two take Aretha and disguise yourself, and let's go to the trade fair. I guess you've never been to such a lively place, right?"
Chen Zhuyi handed over the task of dressing up to Jinhua and Zhaodi.
Mrs. Wen also smiled and brought out some clothes that she had specially prepared. Although the designs were a bit old-fashioned, they were very suitable for Aretha.
She was tall to begin with, and now, covered by her clothes, she looked a bit older. In addition, her face was covered with thick powder, so even Chen Zhuyi almost didn't recognize that the lady in front of him was Aretha.
"Okay, that's it. I don't want to bother with this anymore."
Aretha quickly reached out and patted the people around her, asking them to stop messing around in her face. She then held her cane, pretending to be an old man, and walked shakily with everyone.
Everyone who had been locked up for a while finally walked out together. Lao Lin and Professor Ye first went to the military hospital to guide them. The task of entertaining guests from afar naturally fell on Chen Zhuyi.
The strange cooperation of these people seemed particularly eye-catching when they appeared here. Jingtian Jun's eyes were almost glued to them. He really couldn't believe that Chen Zhu would appear in this venue with so many people with different styles.
Eric also saw his gaze, looking at the woman with slightly gray hair. Out of some intuition, he took a few more glances.
But this wrinkled and unkempt appearance is completely different from Aretha. As a young lady, she would rather die than appear in front of others in such a disheveled state.
"Ms. Shen, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder what you are busy with recently?" Eric put down the bill in his hand and strode towards Shen Zhuyi, blocking her in front of him.
The moment he saw Mu Yun, Eric clenched his fingers into fists, then slowly loosened them and let out a long sigh.
He knew very well that if no one in the East gave in, they would not be able to take Mu Yun away by force with their strength.
"Someone gave me a difficult problem recently, so I was naturally thinking about my homework. I can't just... back down after being scared twice, right?"
Chen Zhu smiled at him lovingly and raised his eyebrows, his words hinting at something.
The unyielding and high-spirited attitude in it made Eric a little confused for a moment.
"If it's a real problem that can be put before you, it must already be incredibly difficult. Why bother solving it?"
Eric responded with a forced smile, but his eyes were fixed on Mu Yun, as if he was staring at a prey that he was determined to catch.
This greed was obviously tinged with aggression, which really made people feel uncomfortable.
Mu Yun admired his confidence and just followed Shen Zhuyi obediently without speaking to break the awkwardness.
"I don't like being threatened, so if we really have to solve some problems, we can do it."
"Perhaps, the spirit of resistance etched in the hearts of the people of the East is what endures. If we could be easily suppressed by others, we wouldn't be striving for the peaceful and prosperous world we have today."
Chen Zhu smiled slightly, his voice gentle, but it was like a soft knife piercing people, making them feel pain all over.
Even if Eric wanted to refute, he had nothing to say. After all, up to now, the East's voice has already become extraordinary.
Even if the Lighthouse wants to suppress it by force, it must consider whether it can afford the consequences.
Although they do not yearn for peace, they also do not want to be dragged into the situation and get into trouble.
The best way is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, let others get really bruised and battered for them, and then clean up the mess when the time comes. This is the best result.
"It's good to have aspirations, but you also have to think clearly about why you're pursuing them. For someone who's not worthy... should you sacrifice an entire nation?"
Eric had already walked to Mu Yun's side and raised his hand to pat him twice.
"If someone truly hopes for the betterment of their nation, they wouldn't shamelessly use their own life to hinder the development of the entire nation, right?"
They are all trying to make things as small as possible.
But Eric was so aggressive that he wanted to use a loud speaker to announce to the whole world that Mu Yun was the source of all the chaos and contradictions.
"Mr. Matsushita's health hasn't recovered yet. If you insist on causing so much trouble... and even hurt our neighbors, what should we do?"
As expected, as soon as Mr. Matsushita was mentioned, the eyes of the people around him changed several times, and a few people with slightly bad tempers walked directly over.
They were chattering in a language that Wen Pozi and the others couldn't understand, but judging from their body movements, it was obvious that they were exerting pressure.
"Please be patient. Everything is subject to official notification. The martial law in these few days is just to hope that everyone can take good care of their health and prepare to return to Hangzhou."
"Please cooperate with the head count to ensure there are no stragglers."
When Chen Zhu heard their chattering complaints, he lowered his eyelids, and his awe-inspiring and inviolable aura instantly intimidated the group of people.
Huo Jinzhi was also leading the team over at this moment. When he saw Chen Zhuyi surrounded by people, his eyes changed.
The aura he exuded was far more oppressive than that of Chen Zhuyi. For a moment, it made countless people feel as if they were in hell.
The noisy voice was suppressed.
"If you have anything to discuss, you can come and discuss it with us directly. Why are you blocking us here... do you think you can intimidate others just by having more people?"
Huo Jinzhi put his arm around Chen Zhuyi's shoulders, and while declaring his sovereignty, he also did not forget to signal to the group of people to know their limits.
"We are already worried about your country's efficiency. People can't be found, and things can't be done properly. Shouldn't we question it?"
As a leader, Eric naturally couldn't bow his head so easily.
