Chapter 402 Rejection
402
"How did they react?"
Kong Xiangwei sighed, "Most of them don't believe me and think I'm fanciful." Tang Yue didn't care much, "So do they want to leave?"
Kong Xiangwei picked up a piece of beef with a fork. "Five people said they would leave with me if this could be achieved. Two people refused to leave."
Kong Xiangwei hadn't expected the two men to have such an attitude. He tried to persuade them, but they laughed at themselves. "Kong, do you know what's going on in China right now? I heard that many knowledgeable people and experts in various industries have been arrested as criminals."
If you go back now, do you know what you will face? At least you can save your life here. If you go back, it is really hard to say whether we can survive. "
Kong Xiangwei had naturally heard about the current situation in China. Although he was determined to return to China, he also wanted to know whether the situation in China was really as serious as it is now.
"Um, is China really that chaotic right now? I heard that all the teachers in the school have been sent down to the countryside."
Tang Yue could only sigh at this, not knowing why such a movement had arisen. However, since their family background was not a problem, Tang Yue didn't pay much attention to it.
"There are indeed some, but I don't know the details. If you don't think this is a good time, you can wait."
Kong Xiangwei shook his head. "No matter how difficult it is, I still want to go back. With all the recent things happening in Russia, I feel like they've become even more violent. It seems like all of this was done by the Chinese.
I heard that every city has deployed armed forces to ensure their safety. So much has been lost, and I wonder when this movement will stop.
Tang Yue felt a mixture of emotions. It was hard for good people to live. But she said nothing. "I'll find you tomorrow night. If you're willing, you must leave your address, otherwise I won't be able to find you."
"good!"
Dongfang Yi had been sitting in a corner, not daring to get anything to eat. "Why aren't you eating?"
Dongfang Yi was very troubled. "What if they see that the food is inexplicably missing?"
Tang Yue was speechless, too lazy to move, and simply used her spiritual power to get a lot of food over. Dongfang Yi watched helplessly as the exquisitely arranged food floated to their table, his eyes widening uncontrollably.
Really, the few hours he spent with Tang Yue have completely overturned his understanding of China.
"Hey, he's Chinese too? You just met him?" Dongfang Yi really thought Tang Yue was amazing. It had only been a short while? And Tang Yue was already planning to bring another person back to China?
No! Dongfang Yi immediately felt a sense of urgency. "Tang Yue, it's getting late now. Do you want to go to my house? My parents and other brothers and sisters should be home already."
Tang Yue thought it made sense, so let those Russian experts appreciate China's cultural relics for a while longer.
Dongfang Yi brought Tang Yue to a slightly dated apartment building. It stood out against the backdrop of the modern buildings surrounding it. The paint on the walls was peeling, revealing the gray cement walls within. Dust coated the glass of several windows, obscuring the view inside.
The small courtyard in front of the building was overgrown with weeds, and the few green plants looked withered due to lack of care.
Dongfang Yi took Tang Yue into the corridor, which was filled with a damp smell and dim and flickering lights. They walked up the stairs, which made a creaking sound.
"Initially, we were given a much better place to live than here. Now they know we can't leave anyway, so they kicked us out of that house."
Dongfang Yi introduced himself as he arrived at the door. He pushed it open, and the scene inside came into view. The small living room was filled with several pieces of old furniture, including a faded sofa with slightly torn fabric. In front of the sofa was a peeling wooden coffee table, on which were placed a few old magazines and some scattered items.
In a corner of the living room, there is a simple bookshelf filled with books, mostly about military technology and children's studies.
Dongfang Yi's father, Dongfang Qinghua, was sitting on the sofa, looking exhausted. His hair was thinning, his temples were gray, and his face was full of traces of time. Seeing Dongfang Yi come back, he nodded slightly.
Dongfang Yi took a deep breath and said nervously and excitedly, "Dad, this is Tang Yue. She...she said she has a way to take us back to China!"
When Dongfang Qinghua heard this, he suddenly raised his head. A hint of surprise first flashed in his eyes, and then he was shrouded in deep doubt.
He stood up, staring intently at Tang Yue, his eyes full of inquiry and vigilance. He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Little girl, who are you? Why did you suddenly say you could help us return to China?"
They had often encountered such incidents before, but in the end, they were just tests used by the Russians. Every time such an incident happened, their situation would get worse. To the point that they no longer had any hope of success.
Tang Yue smiled at the old man before her, not missing the glint in his eyes when he heard about returning to China. Dongfang Yi looked only about 20, but his father seemed to be in his sixties. They still longed to return to their homeland, a persistence that Tang Yue admired.
Tang Yue's eyes were firm: "Mr. Dongfang, if I say I can definitely take you away, it means I really want to help you go home. Do you believe me?"
Dongfang Qinghua stared at Tang Yue for a long time, then sighed and sat back on the sofa. "Little girl, go now."
"Father!" Dongfang Yi was anxious. Why? Why did his father reject Tang Yue?
Dongfang Qinghua looked at the little girl in front of him and said, "Little girl, we are used to living in Maozi Country and have no plans to return home. Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it now."
At this time, a kind-looking middle-aged woman came out from the inner room. She was Dongfang Yi's mother, Lin Wanqing. When she saw Tang Yue, she was slightly startled, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and then she greeted her warmly, "Come, little girl, take a seat."
Dongfang Yi hurriedly introduced Tang Yue to her mother: "Mom, this is Tang Yue. She can help us return to China! But father refused." Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and she looked at Tang Yue with a complicated look.
She sighed softly, "Little girl, go back. Tell your parents that we sincerely submit to the Russian Empire. We are willing to dedicate our lives to the Russian Empire."
Dongfang Yi was anxious. What was going on? Why did Mom and Dad say that? They had always dreamed of returning to China.
Tang Yue saw something, "Mr. and Ms. Dongfang, have you ever been deceived by the Chinese? Was it the Russians who were behind this?"
Dongfang Qinghua and Lin Wanqing did not reply, and the meaning was very clear: they would never be deceived again.
Tang Yue didn't expect them to have such an experience. "I didn't grow up in Maozi Country. I've only been here five or six days and can't speak a word of Maozi Country. As for why I came here, I think Dongfang Yi has guessed it. Why not let him tell you."
Dongfang Yi instantly looked up, his eyes sparkling. "That's right." He immediately and excitedly recounted his afternoon experience to his parents. Dongfang Qinghua and Lin Wanqing were increasingly surprised as they listened. "Is there such a thing?"
"You really went to that office building behind the museum? How is that possible?"
Dongfang Yi was very unhappy about being questioned, "Father, everything I said is true, I am not lying at all." Then he began to describe the decoration of the building.
This made Dongfang Qinghua and Lin Wanqing believe it. Dongfang Yi then talked about how he and Tang Yue could become invisible. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Yue, "Tang Yue, can you show my father and mother that invisibility?"
Tang Yue smiled and waved, and the figures of Tang Yue and Dongfang Yi disappeared from the living room. Dongfang Qinghua and Lin Wanqing could no longer sit still, and they stood up in a flash, which made Dongfang Yi very proud.
Tang Yue released the voice control, and Dongfang Yi's triumphant voice echoed in the living room, "How is it? Father, Mother, do you believe it now?"
