Chapter 290 National interests come first
"No matter how we explain, there are always people who don't believe us. Some reactionary forces attacked our embassy abroad a few days ago. Even some people in China who don't know the truth are talking about it, speculating whether someone is conducting some kind of biological experiment."
Gu Chengfeng's face turned cold. "Later, I took a team of people out to investigate secretly, and only then did I find out that someone was secretly fanning the flames. In China, it's the person in front of you, and the person abroad..."
Gu Chengfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "That person from abroad is somewhat related to you. I'll take you to see her later."
"In short, this Qin Ming contacted Xiaolong and others to become a tainted witness, and at the same time he was bribed by foreign forces and secretly spread some rumors that were detrimental to the country. After we verify it later, he will be charged with treason!"
Bai Yaoyao remained silent for a while before she raised her head and looked at Gu Chengfeng with a smile, "Gu Chengfeng, thank you! You brought me here specially to see Qin Ming's end!"
Gu Chengfeng nodded, "That's right! I've read your resume before, and I'm also very clear about your past disputes with Qin Ming. I don't know if you still mind his bullying back then, but I think if you knew that a villain like him ended up in a dead end and didn't have a good ending, it would at least help ease the knot in your heart..."
Bai Yaoyao looked at this person who used to be quiet but said a lot of explanations today, and felt warm in her heart.
Qin Ming was the enemy of her childhood and a thorn in her heart.
Later, she became successful with the help of the system, but in today's society ruled by law, she could not rely on her strength to act violently and drag Qin Ming out to beat him up to vent her anger.
Fortunately, the wicked will be punished by God, and he will suffer the consequences if he does evil. Qin Ming finally made a mistake and ruined the rest of his life.
Seeing him like this, I would be lying if I said I was unhappy!
But what moved her even more was Gu Chengfeng's love for her.
I guess this place is not a place that anyone can enter. Even Gu Chengfeng was questioned for a long time when he entered the gate.
But he still brought her in, just to resolve the knot in her heart!
And I'm afraid this matter has also been approved by the leader.
How could one not be moved by their sincerity towards her? !
Seeing that Bai Yaoyao's eyes were slightly red and her eyelashes were wet, as if she was about to cry, Gu Chengfeng suddenly widened his eyes and said in panic.
"You...don't cry! I don't know how to comfort people!"
Moreover, if someone reported it to the higher-ups, saying that he made the young lady cry, he would have to listen to those old people's nagging again!
Now this person is like a national treasure! No one can touch or offend him!
If she is unhappy, someone will stand up for her before she even says anything...
Gu Chengfeng quickly changed the subject, "Well... let me take you to see someone else!"
Bai Yaoyao followed Gu Chengfeng through the corridor and soon arrived in front of an identical house.
When I opened the door, I saw the woman in the glass window with long wavy hair, lifeless eyes and tear marks on her face.
Bai Yaoyao frowned, "She...why is she here?!"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Bai Yaoyao remembered what Gu Chengfeng had just said.
"She is the one who spread rumors abroad?!"
It turned out to be Xia Rulan? !
Bai Yaoyao was a little surprised, but after a moment she suddenly felt that there was nothing strange about it.
If Xia Shizhong could get in touch with Brother Kun, then why was it so strange that Xia Rulan, his daughter who was raised by his side, was in cahoots with the outsiders? !
Gu Chengfeng stood beside Bai Yaoyao like a javelin. When he saw that Bai Yaoyao's attention was diverted to Xia Rulan, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xia Rulan is actually quite pitiful. She was originally just helping Xia Shizhong manage some of his businesses, and she had no involvement in the affairs of Xia Shizhong and MT13. But after Xia Shizhong was arrested, the people from MT13 found her, threatened and deceived her, saying that Xia Shizhong had angered the godfather and was locked up, and if she didn't help them, they would kill his father. That's why Xia Rulan worked so hard to fan the flames among the countries.
However, when our people found their temporary lair, most of the people in MT13 had fled, leaving only her behind to take the blame. "
Gu Chengfeng turned back and glanced at Bai Yaoyao's face. "She is not the main culprit. This matter can be a big deal or a small one. What the higher-ups mean is that she is your half-sister after all. If you want to protect her, we can show some leniency and expel her from the country..."
"What do I mean?" Bai Yaoyao widened her eyes, looking as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"
"The country has its own laws. We should deal with it as it should be. I can even kill my own father for the sake of justice. How can I challenge the country's laws just for this sister I have never met?"
Bai Yaoyao became more and more angry as she spoke, "Hey! Gu Chengfeng! I was so touched just now, but you turned around and set me up?! If this gets out, won't people say that I am spoiled and want to protect my relatives just because I have made some contributions?"
Bai Yaoyao suddenly stopped, and the anger on her face subsided. She looked thoughtful, "No! Isn't this treatment of Xia Rulan just a test of the water?"
Bai Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly, "What you really want to ask about is not Xia Rulan's punishment, but Xia Shizhong, right?!"
Gu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Xia Shizhong colluded with foreign forces and violated national interests. The evidence is irrefutable. We should have dealt with him impartially. However, some people above us think that Xia Shizhong is your biological father after all. Now that you are playing an increasingly important role in the country, they are afraid that if they deal with your father arbitrarily, it will cause you dissatisfaction. So they let me take this opportunity to test him."
Bai Yaoyao rolled her eyes. "So in your eyes, I am a person who cannot distinguish between public and private interests, and would disregard the interests of the country for my own selfish interests?"
Gu Chengfeng waved his hands quickly, "That's not me! I have always felt that Miss Bai, you have always been clear about the distinction between public and private matters. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let the spirit cat help you to trick Xia Shizhong and bring him to justice."
"But..." Gu Chengfeng sighed lightly, "The leaders above are also worried about you and afraid of hurting your feelings, so they are asking for your opinion in a roundabout way. Don't blame them..."
"No... I'm not an ungrateful person."
Bai Yaoyao said solemnly, "There is a country before there is a family. The interests of the country always come first. No matter who I am or how capable I am, this will never change!"
