Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and stood there speechless.

Jones has always been an admirable woman, so why would she encourage an arms dealer to do something so pointless at such a crucial moment?
“Let me tell you, the more this happens, the more dangerous it becomes. The reason is simple: perhaps she doesn’t want to do this, but is forced by circumstances. After all, those arms dealers are backed by conglomerates, and if she doesn’t get the president’s support, she may lose the conglomerates’ trust in her.”

In fact, what Mr. Wang meant was very clear: no matter who sits in the presidency, the interests of these big conglomerates must be protected.

"This is a characteristic of this country, so let's not discuss it further. But the most crucial question is, what exactly is William planning? If he dares to disregard everyone's opposition and do something so heinous, I will absolutely not let him off the hook."

Therefore, Mr. Wang understood that he was under tremendous pressure, but it was still less than that faced by Jiangchuan in China.

"So everyone, from this moment on, we must unite as one."

The investigation was launched, and in order to find out what William of Atlantis was up to, Xiao Wang mobilized almost all of his men.

However, things were far more complicated than imagined. After a long investigation, Xiao Wang's summary showed that all the clues about William went cold at crucial points.

He fell into deep thought. Nearly three weeks had passed, and William remained like a reef hidden underwater, unable to reveal his true face.

To overcome this problem, he called Jiang Chuan for help.

"Let's bring everyone back first."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang's eyes widened in shock. The investigation had only just begun, yet they were already demanding the withdrawal of everyone—what was their intention?

"Let me tell you, this time not only are we evacuating people, but you're going back to the Great Shang Kingdom too, understand?"

"why?"

Mr. Wang was filled with doubt.

"The reason is simple: Atlantis has violated the treaty we signed. Moreover, they are two-faced, and the president is pretending not to know anything."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. The president was actually forced by circumstances, as various arms dealers were selling large quantities of weapons to the outside world through the country's commercial institutions.

The buyers of these weapons were almost all terrorists. Jiangchuan's scientific institutions and numerous security agencies have thoroughly investigated this matter.

Jiang Chuan spent considerable time explaining and making arrangements at the joint conference to resolve this issue. However, to his surprise, the Atlantis nation flatly denied it.

Therefore, to ensure the safety of General Manager Wang, the only way now is to lead everyone back to the Great Shang Kingdom as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the world changed the day after Little Wang led his men back. First, an unprecedented terrorist attack occurred in the sea near Atlantis.

A cruise ship fully loaded with oil was sailing towards Atlantis when it was hijacked by a terrorist organization.

The terrorist organization immediately claimed responsibility for the incident and stated that it would not abandon the oil shipment.

This incident, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, created ripples. Not only this case, but many goods throughout Europe were also frequently and inexplicably robbed.

Merchants in Europe are suffering terribly. Already strapped for cash and relying on shipments of goods and funds to make a living, they were robbed at sea. What's even more infuriating is that these terrorists shamelessly claimed it was for their safety.

The news spread globally in an instant, causing a huge uproar. Everyone had the same question in their minds: Why did it turn out this way?

The federation also began to pay attention to this matter. In order to solve the problem, they proposed a solution: to have the fleets of various countries provide escort for merchant ships in a specific area.

However, the reaction of the Atlantis Kingdom to this incident was very lukewarm.

"What on earth do you mean?"

As a representative of the businessmen, Jiang Chuan simply couldn't stand it any longer.

"Don't you know how important merchant ships are to everyone? You're ignoring the problem now, don't you want to solve it yourselves? When your country's cargo ships are hijacked one after another, you'll know the pain."

The people of Atlantis didn't seem to care about any of this.

“If you’re willing to provide escort services, that’s your business. President Jones is still ordering that we minimize the procurement of supplies from abroad.”

What is the purpose of this?
To solve this problem, Jiang Chuan devoted almost all his time to understanding the nation of Atlantis. Based on the current client situation, he had determined that all the customers of the country's sales platform were terrorists. Therefore, they decided to cease all aid to the nation of Atlantis.

However, this news immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the people of Atlantis.

Jones, in particular, took the opportunity to express her strong protest to Jiang Chuan at a press conference held at the Little White Building.

"I think his approach of cutting off all his escape routes is pointless. He's a businessman, after all. Doesn't he understand the disaster this will bring him? If a businessman doesn't even have integrity, what face does he have to live in this world?"

This is utterly a distortion of the truth. Jones's statement, ironically, attracted the attention of many Western media outlets. But strangely, this time the reporters all chose to remain silent, seemingly waiting for a response from their benefactor, Jiang Chuan.

"It really made me laugh."

After browsing through the current news reports, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"Isn't this a classic case of turning black into white? Are they trying to use the same old tricks again, wielding the big stick of moral blackmail in front of the whole world?"

This time, even their superiors made a special phone call.

"If all else fails, I think you should just reveal the truth. After all, their attitude towards this matter is vague and ambiguous right now."

"No need!"

Jiang Chuan laughed at this moment. He felt that now was not the time to reveal those secrets to the public, after all, these secrets were a trump card in his hand.

In order to properly resolve this issue, Jiang Chuan decided to convene a press conference with all reporters and specially invited representatives of Western institutions stationed in Da Shang Guo to participate.

At the press conference, Jiang Chuan emphasized one point: they have always strictly adhered to the contract. The current suspension of aid to Atlantis is only temporary, not permanent. As long as Atlantis can correct its mistakes and adjust some of the irrational aspects of its economic structure, exchanges and cooperation between the two sides will resume as before. Jiang Chuan's words puzzled the Western media reporters present, who raised numerous questions.

"May I ask, what exactly are you referring to as the irrationality in the economic structure?" "Before answering that question, I suggest you first find out who the customers of the Atlantis weapons sales platform are." Jiang Chuan didn't give a direct answer, but instead offered a hint.

The Western journalists naturally understood, but to avoid appearing too deliberate, one of them smiled casually.

"Of course, it's some of our domestic institutions, and we're also trying to explore some relatively low-end markets."

“That’s good. I was just using an example. Actually, we’ve been exploring this issue in depth, and our risk control system has already identified vulnerabilities in your system. We will only continue to cooperate with you once you’ve patched these vulnerabilities and we’ve assessed that there is no risk,” Jiang Chuan explained.

During the subsequent Q&A session, the reporters were unable to fathom Jiang Chuan's true thoughts, feeling that every move he made seemed meticulously planned.

"Humph!"

President Jones was furious and launched into a tirade upon learning of this news.

"If he doesn't want to help, he should just say so directly. Why use such vague language? Does he think he can achieve his goal this way? It's ridiculous."

As expected, the conflicts between the Great Shang Kingdom and Atlantis quickly attracted worldwide attention. In particular, the incidents involving the controlled merchant ships led netizens from many countries to believe that there must be more to the story.

"Could it be that Atlantis is risking selling weapons and equipment to terrorists again just to make money?"

"I think it's very likely. Since they dared to do it the first time, they will definitely dare to do it a second time."

"That's what I think too, but what should we do now? I'm completely clueless. Maybe we should investigate further."

……

The online discussions sparked heated debate among netizens from various countries, and these comments quickly attracted the attention of political leaders worldwide. They began closely monitoring Atlantis's arms sales activities and dispatched intelligence personnel to conduct investigations.

This gave President Jones an increasingly difficult time, as he didn't know how to handle the situation. In order to find a solution, he summoned William to the White House again.

"You need to keep a low profile, you know? I've been turning a blind eye to you, but I didn't expect Jiang Chuan to still find out."

“The truth will eventually come out, and we can’t really refuse outright now. After all, the market demand for terrorists is huge. Although there was a major crackdown last time and the number of terrorists decreased, the financial groups behind them were not greatly affected and continue to provide financial support.” William didn’t care. He was making a fortune but paying very little tax, and even President Jones couldn’t do anything about it.

“Listen to me, just bear with it a little longer. Once everything is resolved, you’ll understand what’s truly important. Only when we have the money will we have the confidence to boast to the world,” William continued to persuade.

Although President Jones did not agree with William's views, William's approach was common among arms dealers in Atlantis. He knew that he could not change the status quo by himself alone.

"It really made me laugh."

After browsing through these news reports, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"This is clearly a trick to distort the truth. Do they want to wield the moral cudgel again and repeat their old tricks in front of the whole world?"

This time, even the higher-ups made a special call to inquire.

“I think if there’s really no other way, you might as well just reveal the truth. After all, their attitude toward this matter is ambiguous and hard to understand.”

"Need not!"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly upon hearing this. Now was not the time to reveal those secrets to the public; after all, they were a trump card in his hand.

In order to properly handle this issue, Jiang Chuan decided to hold a press conference and invited all journalists as well as representatives of Western institutions stationed in Da Shang Guo to attend.

At the press conference, Jiang Chuan solemnly announced: "We have always strictly abided by the contract. The suspension of aid is only temporary, not permanent. As long as Atlantis can correct its mistakes and adjust the unreasonable factors in its economic structure, cooperation and exchanges between the two sides will naturally return to normal."

Upon hearing this, Western journalists looked surprised and immediately began asking questions.

"What exactly are you referring to as the irrational factors in the economic structure?"

“Before answering this question, I suggest you first find out who the customers of the Atlantis weapons sales platform are,” Jiang Chuan said, subtly guiding the conversation rather than answering directly.

These Western journalists naturally understood the implication, but to avoid appearing too deliberate, one of them casually smiled and said, "Of course, it's some domestic institutions, and we're also trying to explore some relatively low-end markets."

“That’s good. I just wanted to use this as an example to illustrate that we’ve been exploring this issue in depth. Furthermore, we have a risk control system that has identified vulnerabilities in your system. We will only continue to cooperate with you once you have patched these vulnerabilities and we have assessed that there is no risk.” Jiang Chuan responded calmly.

During the subsequent Q&A session, the reporters remained unable to decipher Jiang Chuan's true thoughts, feeling that everything was under his control.

"Humph!"

Upon learning this, President Jones was furious and cursed, "If he doesn't want to help, he should just say so. Why use such vague language? Does he think he can achieve his goal this way? It's utterly absurd!"

As expected, the conflicts between the Great Shang Kingdom and Atlantis quickly attracted worldwide attention. In particular, the incidents involving the controlled merchant ships led netizens from many countries to believe that there must be more to the story.

"Could it be that Atlantis is risking selling weapons to terrorists again just to make money?"

"You need to keep a low profile, you know? I've been turning a blind eye to things I've done, but I didn't expect Jiang Chuan to still find out." (End of Chapter)
