Chapter 380 Demonstration
Country C.
Jiang Ning flew over on Lu Junyan's private plane.
She never imagined that she would one day set foot on the soil of Country C again.
The person standing next to her was Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan was holding Xiaoman in his arms.
This is Xiaoman's first time on an airplane.
He didn't sleep the whole way; instead, he was so excited that he danced around.
Lu Junyan spent the whole time playing with Xiaoman on the plane, which actually gave Jiang Ning time to rest.
At this moment, Xiaoman must have been tired from playing, as she was fast asleep on Lu Junyan's shoulder, drooling and soiling Lu Junyan's perfectly good suit, but Lu Junyan didn't care at all.
Next to him was Xiao Zhang, whose eyes couldn't stop moving.
Before the plane took off from W Island, Xiao Zhang finally met Jiang Ning.
At first, he thought he was seeing a ghost.
But it's broad daylight, and it doesn't seem like the time to see ghosts.
Xiao Zhang was smart enough to quickly realize that Jiang Ning had faked his death.
It was only at that moment that he understood why Lu Junyan suddenly stopped going back to City A and instead stayed on W Island, instructing them not to follow him.
Looking back now, it seems that Lu Yexiong was most likely involved in Jiang Ning's faked death; otherwise, it would have been difficult to keep such a watertight list of the plane crash victims.
It can only be said that Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning are destined to meet. He never expected that when he came to W Island as John to socialize, he would run into Jiang Ning.
More than Jiang Ning faking her death, Xiao Zhang was surprised that Jiang Ning had actually given birth.
Jiang Ning explained Xiaoman's origins as a one-night stand she had with Shen Feiyang.
Xiao Zhang still remembers Shen Feiyang—
A well-known lawyer who is quite lecherous and has also made improper attempts on Jiang Ning.
Although Xiaoman is not Lu Junyan's child, Xiao Zhang can tell that Lu Junyan cherishes this child very much.
He understood that this was a case of loving someone because of their loved ones.
His gaze unconsciously lingered between Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan, and Xiao Man. Xiao Zhang didn't understand what was wrong with him. Maybe it was a filter, but he always felt that Xiao Man looked a bit like Jiang Ning and a bit like Lu Junyan.
Jiang Ning got into the car that Lu Junyan had prepared in advance, without taking off the hat and sunglasses he had used to disguise himself.
This car is just an ordinary Japanese car, it doesn't look conspicuous, and it meets their needs.
Two hours later, the car arrived in the city center of Imperial City, the capital of Country C.
Jiang Ning sat in the car, staring out the window with wide, bulging eyes.
Outside, there were large groups of people marching and demonstrating.
Even through the metal of the car, Jiang Ning could feel their anger.
They were all holding up signs of various sizes, and the words on the signs were clearly written—
Give me back my job!
The Lin family, give me back my hard-earned money!
Give me back my house!
I want my home!
The Lin family should die!
Jiang Ning gasped, his mouth agape.
At this point, the police were dispatched, and the protesters were immediately dispersed. Several of the leaders clashed violently with the police.
As the conflict escalated, panic ensued among the protesters, leading to another stampede.
Jiang Ning stared in disbelief and turned to look at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan looked serious, but he was still much calmer than her.
It was precisely because Lu Junyan was too calm that Jiang Ning never imagined the situation would be so serious when he heard Lu Junyan talk about the Lin family on W Island.
The Lin family is the largest source of capital behind the C country government, permeating all aspects of C country's politics, economy, and culture.
In the past year, the Lin family has made several major moves that have almost directly shaken the stability of Country C.
All these major moves were orchestrated by Lin Wanrong.
According to Lu Junyan, Lin Wanrong initially brought in Sun's capital to cover the huge losses incurred in entering the jewelry industry.
The Sun family started out running casinos, and behind the scenes they were also involved in some even more shady dealings.
In just two years, thanks to Lin Wanrong's support, the Sun family's casinos spread throughout Country C.
At the same time, Lin Wanrong, in conjunction with the Sun family, suppressed senior executives within the Lin family who opposed her, especially employees with the surname Lin, demoting some and dismissing others.
For a time, the Lin family was in a state of panic, with a large number of talents leaving and the foundation of the company being severely shaken.
Even so, Lin Wanrong remained unrepentant.
The month before last, Lin Wanrong outsourced all public transportation, schools, and basic medical care to the Sun family, gaining a large amount of capital in a short period of time.
However, this has led to soaring ticket prices, commodity prices, and medical costs, severely impacting the daily lives of ordinary people in Country C.
Furthermore, Lin Wanrong launched the Science and Technology Future City project, forcibly reclaiming the land originally intended for affordable housing and replanning it, intending to create an AI-powered high-end residential area exclusively for the wealthy.
This series of actions became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Large-scale demonstrations broke out in the capital city of Country C, with ordinary people gathering to oppose the Lin family.
To allow Jiang Ning to understand the current situation of the Lin family in Country C in the most direct way, Lu Junyan chose to bring Jiang Ning to see it for himself.
An unassuming Japanese car drove away from the chaotic city center.
Inside the car, Lu Junyan held the sleeping Xiaoman in his arms. Unlike Jiang Ning, who was preoccupied with his own thoughts, Lu Junyan could't help but smile whenever he looked at Xiaoman.
"I don't understand... what exactly is Lin Wanrong trying to do? Where is Minister Lin?"
Jiang Ning turned to Lu Junyan and asked.
The "Minister Lin" she mentioned is her biological father.
But she never calls him Dad.
"You mean Lin Yueheng... he stopped serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs a year ago..."
At this point, Lu Junyan added, "He doesn't hold any position, including within the Lin Group."
"..."
Jiang Ning's brows and eyes, hidden by sunglasses, were furrowed.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive, but when Jiang Ning's gaze fell on Xiao Man's face, her mood inexplicably improved.
So where are you taking me now?
Jiang Ning raised her eyes and looked at Lu Junyan.
"you guess?"
After asking the question, Lu Junyan couldn't help but kiss Xiaoman on the cheek.
Jiang Ning turned his gaze away and looked out the window.
There was nothing about the view outside the window that attracted her.
She just didn't want to see Lu Junyan kissing Xiaoman.
In Lu Junyan's eyes, Xiaoman is clearly her and Shen Feiyang's child.
However, the way Lu Junyan looked at Xiaoman was as if Xiaoman were his own son.
Jiang Ning felt as if there was a ball of yarn stuffed in his chest, all messy and chaotic.
After driving for a while, we started onto the winding mountain road.
Jiangning is familiar with this road.
This is the winding mountain road of Linyan Mountain, leading to the private residence of Linjing City at the top of the mountain.
Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Junyan silently, but Lu Junyan's attention was not on her; instead, he stared intently at Xiaoman's sleeping face.
Finally, Xiao Zhang drove his car to the top of the mountain.
However, they did not drive the car into the parking lot.
Their car was some distance from the Lin family's private residence, but Xiao Zhang had chosen a good position, an angle from which Jiang Ning could clearly see the bodyguards standing guard outside the residence.
These bodyguards were not the same ones Jiang Ning had seen last time.
These bodyguards don't look like they're protecting the people inside.
It's more like preventing people outside from having contact with people inside.
Jiang Ning's expression darkened slightly, and he withdrew his gaze to look at Lu Junyan.
"Lin Yueheng has been placed under house arrest?"
