Therefore, Liang Wanting knew from a young age that she grew up in a single-parent family.

She indeed suffered a great deal because of this.

He was often ridiculed by his peers as an orphan.

This also led to Liang Wanting's rather withdrawn personality during her childhood.

Because of this solitary nature, he lacked playmates.

Liang Wanting then devoted herself entirely to her studies.

He was admitted to university and then worked part-time while studying at Harvard.

Their father would provide some living expenses.

But don't forget that Liang Wanting's family consists of more than just her and her mother.

There are still grandparents.

There was even a disabled uncle.

It can be described as a large family.

The father, whom I have never met, only sends me two or three thousand yuan a month.

Is that a lot? Of course not.

After all, Liang Wanting's education required a lot of expenses.

His family was particularly poor during his university years.

When I went to university, I thought I would achieve excellent grades.

Scholarships and other grants will be more generous.

You can also enjoy discounts.

However, the fact is that the school did provide the necessary financial aid.

There is nothing wrong with it in itself.

The amount was not large, only tens of thousands of yuan.

Although supporting the whole family was difficult, it was still enough to make ends meet.

Just then, the United States offered even more favorable terms and conditions.

You can receive over 100,000 yuan in learning funds and additional subsidies every month.

Roughly calculated, the monthly income is over 200,000 yuan.

And it does not include scholarships and various subsidies.

They also receive an extra payment at the end of each year.

Up to seven figures.

To put it bluntly, Liang Wanting comes from an ordinary family.

Faced with such temptation, how could she refuse?

To give my family a better life.

Liang Wanting naturally chose to go to the United States and work for them.

She has entered a second spring in her life, and her personality has become much more cheerful.

"I see, I was indeed abrupt."

Jiang Chen looked slightly embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, their relationship with their father has become so strained.

But upon reflection, it makes sense; which family doesn't have a story?

Every family has its cupboard.

Regarding the situation with Liang Zhenshan.

Jiang Chen declined to comment, nor did he know how to evaluate the situation.

All that is known is that the other party is currently the behind-the-scenes controller of the Northwest region, which is enough to pose a significant threat to the United States.
"Speaking of which, you have indeed had some bad luck, being implicated by your father."

Jiang Chen said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"The current leader's background has been thoroughly investigated by the United States."

"He is confronting the United States in the Northwest, which is a matter of military strategy."

"This has nothing to do with you, but that's precisely the crux of the matter."

"After they obtained information about Liang Zhenshan, they indirectly discovered your background."

Therefore, we know that you are related to Liang Zhenshan.

"You were placed under house arrest because of sensitive issues."

So that's how it all started.

Liang Wanting was shocked and felt utterly helpless.

This irresponsible father is truly a disgrace.

He abandoned his wife and daughter, as well as his entire family, when they were young.

He has been wandering alone and has not been seen since.

It's not important anyway; if you don't see it, you don't see it. Just pretend it doesn't exist.

Anyway, I've grown up to this point and am already used to this kind of life.

And now, he's dragging himself down with him.

"It's not appropriate for me to interfere too much in your family affairs."

Jiang Chen said somewhat awkwardly.

"The problem now is, based on the intelligence we have..."

"You have become a pawn of the United States, and they want to use you to coerce the current leader."

"To achieve the ultimate goal."

"Forcing Liang Zhenshan to give up his interests in the Northwest region."

"Therefore, my task is to free you from house arrest."

Upon hearing this, Liang Wanting's face turned ashen.

The thing I feared most eventually came true.

The United States ultimately did not consider her one of its own.

Always remain vigilant.

Otherwise, why would she be placed under house arrest because of this father she had never met?

Now I have made such a huge contribution to the United States.

Even if she is rescued, where can Liang Wanting go?

Will I be condemned by everyone if I return to China?

At this moment, Liang Wanting was filled with despair.

It seemed to be a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

There was nowhere left for her to stay.

"Jiang Chen, why don't we just drop this?"

"There's no need to save me; it's a waste of your time."

"Even if I am saved, where can I go?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting such a response from the other party.

He devised numerous plans and even convened discussions with many high-ranking officials from the space city.

All of these are about how to rescue Liang Wanting.

The other party, however, did not play by the rules.

This truly left Jiang Chen at a loss.

"Since the current emperor entrusted me to save you, I will naturally send you back to his side."

"Your life will definitely be better there. This person is no ordinary person..."

Jiang Chen adhered to the principle of seeing things through to the end.

He spoke a few good words for Liang Zhenshan.

After all, the two sides are currently in the midst of cooperation.

Jiang Chen also highly approves of Liang Zhenshan's abilities.

To everyone's surprise, Liang Wanting's change of expression was faster than expected.

"You don't need to come to my rescue anymore, I don't need any help."

"Jiang Chen, don't mention Liang Zhenshan again. He is not my father."

"If I say another word, our friendship will end here."

"I have no idea who he is, and I have absolutely no connection with him."

"I will clarify this matter with the US high-level officials myself."

"Let's leave it at that for now. The current situation is sensitive, so it's best if we keep our contact to a minimum in the future."

Seeing that the other party had ended the communication.

Jiang Chen was stunned on the spot.

Is it true or false? It's gotten to this point.

She immediately turned hostile when her biological father was mentioned.

To what extent should this resentment extend?
As expected, a woman's mind is hard to fathom.

No matter how peculiar her personality, as long as she is a woman.

His heart is as unfathomable as a needle at the bottom of the sea.

"I guess she turned against me because I spoke up for her father."

Jiang Chen felt quite helpless at this moment.

If only I hadn't said those two extra words.

Their relationship hasn't soured yet.

Liang Wanting wouldn't turn against him.

You can only say they brought it on themselves.

"Alas, this matter is becoming increasingly troublesome."

Jiang Chen gently touched his forehead.

Although Liang Wanting broke ties with him.

But those who need saving still need to be saved.

What followed was a long wait.

Half a month passed in a flash.

The date for the US Global Cutting Technology Showcase is approaching.

But Jiang Chen had lost interest in participating in such activities.

In the past, he would definitely have been there.

But now their cutting-edge nanotechnology is already in the research and development process.

Moreover, the first phase is progressing smoothly and has caught up with the United States.

Then all that's left is to invest a lot of time and energy in continued research and development.

Jiang Chen believed that he would soon be able to overtake them.

Meanwhile, the negotiations between Jiangchen Space City and the United States finally came to a conclusion.

Or rather, the final moment has arrived.

"What? The United States actually wants to purchase 20,000 military air-lift vehicles from us?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
After all, the total number of hovercraft currently in service in their space city is only about eight thousand.

This was done while working day and night.

In other words, the airship factory has never stopped operating since its construction.

Production has been ongoing for two or three years now.

The cumulative production is only over 8,000 vehicles.

The United States, however, made an outrageous demand, requesting 20,000 vehicles in one go.

"Go and tell them that 20,000 is too conservative a figure."

"Why not just ask for two million vehicles? Twenty million wouldn't be out of the question either."

Jiang Chen responded with a cold laugh.

"If they lack the sincerity to negotiate."

"Then neither side needs to force themselves; they should each proceed according to their original plans."

Twenty thousand vehicles? They really have the nerve to say that. Upon hearing this, Xu Liang looked troubled.

It's indeed a bit unreasonable.

But right now the initiative is in the hands of the United States, so they can set the prices.

The 20,000 vehicles are just the base quantity; the price is, of course, negotiable.

However, the United States is by no means a pushover.

They will definitely strive to maximize their interests.

Let Liang Wanting be the most valuable asset.

It must be said that the United States is indeed very clever in extracting value from its talent pool.

Even Jiang Chen had to admit this.

"The quantity might be negotiable, but the US will not concede too much."

"If this drags on for too long, Jiang Chen, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us."

"After all, the United States has been waging a counter-offensive in the Northwest."

"We are indeed in a dilemma now."

The United States never leaves any evidence in its actions.

They knew very well that Jiang Chen urgently needed to rescue Liang Wanting.

Otherwise, the pressure on Liang Zhenshan from the Northwest region will increase day by day.

After all, his daughter was still under enemy control.

Perhaps the United States will not make things difficult for Liang Wanting.

After all, she made significant contributions.

However, Liang Zhenshan is bound to be in a passive position.

It will be difficult to smoothly advance subsequent strategic deployments.

They also dared not push the United States too far.

Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

The Northwest region is not only a bargaining chip for Jiang Chen and Liang Zhenshan's deal.

It is also of key significance to the strategic layout of the space city.

Xu Liang and the others were naturally aware of these inside stories.

"Five thousand vehicles, that's the limit. If they still don't accept it."

“I wouldn’t mind trying other methods to rescue Liang Wanting.”

Jiang Chen stated his position in an icy tone.

This was the biggest concession he could offer.

This number is quite considerable.

After all, the space city currently only has eight thousand hovercars.

Delivering 5,000 vehicles to the United States at once will not only take time.

It also requires a lot of resources.

The most important thing is the initial delivery.

At least a thousand vehicles need to be prepared.

Where did these hovercraft come from?

Jiang Chen could only consider drawing some from the existing reserves of the Space City.

"My stance is very clear; please convey it truthfully."

"If we really can't reach an agreement, then there's no need to continue talking."

Jiang Chen doesn't have that much patience to maneuver.

"I understand, I will try my best, but I can't guarantee it will work out."

"Given the current situation, this is indeed the best solution."

Xu Liang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The two sides then continued negotiations, and Jiang Chen gave a final deadline.

Although the initiative was in the hands of the United States, Jiang Chen had never wanted to be restrained by others.

Moreover, they had just finished their last battle.

The United States also dared not provoke Jiang Chen too much.

This matter must be resolved within half a month.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen will take other measures.

He would never allow the other party to delay.

We can always resort to force to resolve this.

It's not a real intention to attack the US mainland.

Instead, other methods can be adopted.

Over the next few days, Jiang Chen continued to try to contact Liang Wanting.

As expected, they repeatedly ran into obstacles.

Every attempt to contact them resulted in rejection.

No matter how many messages you send, they all disappear without a trace.

As expected, it's not easy to win a girl back after you've angered her.

But Jiang Chen was helpless.

For now, all we can do is continue trying to communicate.

The two sides remained deadlocked for several days without making any progress.

At that moment, a figure walked into Jiang Chen's office.

To his slight surprise, his previously gloomy mood brightened somewhat.

The person who came was Nong Huiyun.

"What a rare guest! Why did you come all of a sudden? You didn't even give us a heads-up."

This intelligence minister has been very busy lately.

In addition, Jiang Chen was busy with official duties.

The previously arranged date naturally fell through.

However, given their status, they wouldn't care too much about this matter.

"Latest intelligence obtained."

"I am aware of the current situation at Space City."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if negotiations with the United States break down; we have other options."
Nong Huiyun smiled and placed the document in front of Jiang Chen.

It must be said that this woman has recently developed a unique charm.

Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Could it be that her own pursuits have led her to start paying attention to her image?
"Through the Divine Eye system, I discovered that the United States has recently established three major resource zones around the world."

"This is an agreement they reached with the relevant countries."

"These resource zones are now operational."

"Only the United States could act like this."

"Other countries would certainly not agree to this."

Nong Huiyun was deeply moved, realizing that the United States indeed had extraordinary methods.

To station troops on the territory of another country.

They dispatched mining teams to plunder resources.

Even if they pay a high price, other countries may not agree.

But this is the United States, and they have no choice but to comply.

This concerns the issue of international standing.

Nong Huiyun understands the intention behind the United States' move.

After all, they suffered setbacks in the Southeast Asia, affecting their core interests.

They are also unable to compete with Jiang Chen, but the United States is a rapidly developing country.

Military development cannot be separated from resource support.

Therefore, they joined forces with other countries to cooperate.

"But what does this have to do with us?"

This intelligence is indeed valuable.

At least we have a grasp of the recent movements of the United States.

Nong Huiyun performed her role as intelligence minister quite well.

But this matter has no direct connection to them.

The United States must have agreements with these countries.

Legally extract resources within its territory.

Does Jiang Chen have the right to interfere?

Even if one wants to intervene, a reasonable excuse is needed.

"Why can't we interfere?"

A sharp glint flashed in Nong Huiyun's eyes.

"Commander Jiang Chen, don't forget that the United States has always been domineering."

Why can't we do the same?

In this world, strength is the only true measure of success.

"These three major mining areas in the United States are indeed unrelated to us."

"But if we can't reach an agreement on Liang Wanting's matter, we might as well create some trouble for them."

"At least it will delay the project's progress."

"What can the US do as long as we operate discreetly?"

"Even if we are suspected of being the perpetrator, we cannot provide any evidence."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was taken aback.

After careful consideration, I suddenly understood.

Indeed, why can't we do that?

Domineering behavior is not unique to the United States.

Besides, Jiang Chen wouldn't go too far.

It was just a brief warning.

Aren't you currently mining in these three resource zones?

Then I will make a slight disruption to slow down your project progress.

At least let the United States understand Jiang Chen's current attitude.

That's really a brilliant plan.

Of course, all of this is contingent on the negotiations breaking down.

"Brilliant! I never expected you, the intelligence chief, to have such a brilliant plan."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up when he looked at Nong Huiyun.

He truly is a lucky star, bringing such good news as soon as he arrives.

This at least gave Jiang Chen a backup plan.

Jiang Chen found himself becoming increasingly inseparable from this woman.

People who can help you in your career.

Who wouldn't appreciate it?

"I'm glad you understand; I was just offering a suggestion."

"After all, the Northwest region is crucial to the space city."

"I came down specifically to analyze the relevant intelligence with you."

"Now that my work report is complete, I'll head back."

Nong Huiyun smiled faintly and turned around.

Today she wore a black ponytail dress that perfectly accentuated her figure.
