Chapter 269 Flourish!
uietly facing away from Wang Zheng at their original location. He was wearing a black robe that even covered his face with a wide hat, making it impossible to see his features.Wang Zheng only stopped...Chapter 269: Grand Spectacle!
Fortunately, Zhang Mingqi made the choice that reassured Wang Zheng the most.
Wang Zheng let out a long breath and massaged his temples. He was also feeling a bit tired; he and Li Minghao had not rested properly for more than two days, and their non-stop battles were beginning to show signs of fatigue even on their robust bodies.
But now they could not afford to rest yet.
"Let's send Lin Xijue back," said Li Minghao suddenly. "Our current condition will affect our future battles."
"Not just yet," Wang Zheng put his head down on the steering wheel, reconsidering due to Lin Xijue’s words.
With such a good opportunity, wouldn’t it be too much of a pity if they missed out
Li Minghao also turned around. He knew that failing to exploit this moment could mean losing similar opportunities in the future. Given their personalities, they would never let go of such an opportunity.
At that moment, Wang Zheng’s phone rang.
"I’m at the Yokohama pier," said Lin Xijue indifferently.
"I’ll be right there."
Wang Zheng and Li Minghao exchanged glances and nodded. Then they started their car and disappeared into the night in Japan.
…………
The news of the explosion at the Japanese National Security Building had spread across the world.
Few people knew that this building housed Japan’s highest-level intelligence agency, akin to China’s State Secrecy Bureau or America's NSA. However, news media are all-powerful and can always uncover the deeper causes behind events.
As a result, the Japanese National Security Council was completely exposed in public view through media analyses that revealed details about live dissection experiments, human gene modification, etc., which were being conducted by their affiliated laboratories. People then discovered how much evil this mysterious organization had committed.
Not to mention other matters, every conflict between Japan and Korea or China was orchestrated by this secret body. Moreover, Chinese media came forward at the right time, simply introducing this institution and its history without making any comments on it. Still, they easily stirred up emotions among Chinese citizens; in their eyes, the Japanese National Security Council had committed too many unforgivable atrocities to be seen as anything but a dark organization. Thus, when Japan’s National Security Building was attacked, it did not receive much sympathy. On the contrary, there were many in China cheering loudly.
"Look, this is what little Jap deserves!"
"No one died, so the retribution seems a bit too lenient!"
"That's so satisfying! You guys don't know—we had three cases of beer last night while discussing this news!"
"Toasting to our great victory!"
"Damn the Japs! Good riddance!"
"Shouldn’t we now launch a full-scale counterattack and flatten that little island"
“However, I think it’s still not thorough enough. If the entire building was blown up to the sky, that would have felt even better.”
……
All major Chinese websites were filled with similar comments due to this news, causing a surge of enthusiasm among the Chinese populace.
Of course, there were also some individuals on Weibo who lamented and criticized the lack of compassion shown by fellow countrymen towards those affected, accusing them of being war-weary. Some even went as far as to say that these so-called "malicious joyers" had brought shame upon China.
In response, a heated verbal battle erupted on Weibo, with Sina Weibo capitalizing on the opportunity to gain significant attention once again.
Major websites were flooded with detailed accounts of the event. Media exaggerations aside, under their渲染 (rendering), the whole process became heart-stirring and more fantastical than a novel or even urban ghost stories.
The media reported that the attacker was likely just one person armed with a single gun but managed to achieve such results, indicating he must be an elite special forces soldier.
It was clear from the precision of each shot and the few seconds it took to hit numerous fire extinguishers through various obstacles that this individual must have been a top-tier special operations force member.
The public fantasized about what this lone warrior who nearly overpowered Japan's heavily guarded National Security Building looked like, sparking intense discussions online. Many internet novelists began crafting stories based on him, gaining considerable popularity.
Furthermore, according to analysis by media outlets worldwide, the culprit responsible for such a sensational event was likely Chinese, given that the current international focus is primarily on China's and Japan’s dispute over the Diaoyu Islands. Timing this action to deter Japan would make logical and emotional sense.
Even though his identity remained unclear, the passionate Chinese public had already unofficially claimed him as their fellow countryman. The praises he received online were endless.
"How glorious our great Chinese hero is!"
"This is what a real man should be like, with true masculine spirit!"
"One should only marry someone like him!"
"Tell me, could one hundred men like this flatten the island nation"
"Chinese special forces, the strongest in the world!"
However, the Chinese government did send a telegram of condolences regarding the bombing of Japan's National Security Building.
...
"I'm telling you, you've become quite famous."
Wang Zheng and Li Minghao switched seats. Wang Zheng sat in the passenger seat and browsed through the news on his phone with a hearty laugh. His expression was genuinely joyful.
"Anyway, others won't know it's me who did it," Li Minghao said coolly as he concentrated on driving.
"Now there are so many girls chasing after you that those swooning over you could form an entire regiment."
"If people found out the big shot in the underground world of the capital is this super special forces operative, they would probably go mad with admiration for you."
"So what I'd still be your little brother," Li Minghao laughed. "Besides, no matter how many girls there are, their quality can't match that of your few red-haired beauties!"
"Would you swap places with me" Li Minghao asked.
"Get lost, I wouldn't want to," Wang Zheng said with a smile. "The Japanese are so arrogant; it's time for our Chinese special forces to flex their muscles once again. Otherwise, they'll really think we're pushovers."
"I wonder how those Japanese agents treated the staff of the Chinese embassy. To be honest, all this started because of us," Li Minghao said.
"So, we must avenge them. Avenge them is to avenge ourselves."
...
However, half a day later, even more sensational news photos were exposed by the Chinese government and they ignited public outrage!
The staff members of the Chinese embassy in Japan were collectively beaten by Japanese soldiers, and the bloody scene with pools of blood and bodies scattered everywhere starkly challenged people's eyes and nerves.
At this moment, faced with such photos, the Chinese people subconsciously united together. Their hearts were filled only with anger, endless fury towards that island nation, from which their generations-old resentment could not be fully vented.
Variety of experts came forward, but this time their opinions were relatively consistent; everyone suspected that the Japanese behavior was a brazen act of retaliation. Before the culprits behind the bombing of the National Security Building had been exposed for their nationality, Japanese openly beating Chinese embassy staff was undoubtedly an expression of frustration and desperation.
Moreover, the way this country handled things was too crude; if they wanted to do it at all, they should have done so discreetly. But being caught on camera made those Western countries that are not too friendly with China toward show a disdainful attitude towards Japanese authorities.
The methods in diplomacy were numerous, yet the people of this country chose the weakest one: military special forces beating unarmed civilian staff. The shame was truly beyond redemption.
The Japanese felt helpless and very frustrated, but they couldn't explain it either; there was no way to refute it when those shocking photos were right there, making any explanation futile.
When news of the bombing of the National Security Building first came out, Japan was in a weak position where sympathy was extended. However, after just half a day, everything dramatically changed and the outcome was reversed.
"Deploy a million troops to flatten the island nation!"
"Let those perverted film-makers die!"
"I can't take it anymore, I truly can't!"
“Seeing these images, I smashed everything in my home; they're too infuriating!”
“The Japanese have gone too far! Do we still need to strongly condemn them Let’s just send troops!”
"Exactly! Let's see if our government can be tough for once!"
"Give me five hundred urban administrators, and I'll wipe out Japan; rescue those girls who have been harmed!"
"The guy above is an idiot."
...
In the past two days, all websites and forums in China were boiling with discussions. The young people's patriotic fervor was thoroughly ignited by these photos; no one could stop this mighty surge of patriotism.
Whenever facing foreign aggression, Chinese people always stand up straight and tall. Especially when it comes to that island nation which has caused us deep wounds in the past, we cannot compromise or bow down in any way; doing so would only invite further contempt from others.te charm: "Do you think I wouldn't recognize your handwriting Besides you, I don’t believe anyone else could execute this to such an extent."“It seems like I’m too handsome for my own good, attracting...
