Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

For a moment, Luo Congmin didn't know whether he should be happy or helpless.

"Perhaps this is why Lin Xuan can make everyone feel both scared and at ease. It is not unfair for the Three-Body Civilization to lose to such a person."

Chapter 255 Luo Congmin's Request

Lin Xuan's punishment of the doves was quickly approved by all the local federation officials.

It's impossible not to agree. Don't you see that the number of local officials kneeling outside is increasing? Now they still dare to cause trouble for Lin Xuan. Either they have a hole in their brains or they really don't want to live.

Anyway, Lin Xuan is only targeting the dovish local officials this time. What does it have to do with them? Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to just get through this period of time in peace?

Anyway, everyone has already guessed Lin Xuan's identity. As an observer, he can't always pay attention to the actions of the Earth Alliance.

To put it bluntly, the position of the president of the Local Federation still belongs to Luo Congmin. No matter how dissatisfied everyone is with Lin Xuan, he is not directly responsible for the affairs of the Local Federation.

Just because we have time to take care of it during this period doesn’t mean we will always have time in the future. Now we just need to stay calm and wait for the opportunity.

But the dovish officials were wailing.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars is not a small sum of money for them, and it almost means they have lost all the money they have embezzled over the years.

Some families had to pay millions, and they cried and yelled, cursing Lin Xuan for killing the donkey after it had served its purpose, treating the officials of the Local Federation like pigs, dogs and livestock, and not giving them any way to live.

Every price Lin Xuan asks for is based on facts, ensuring that the other party can afford it while also making the other party's family bleed heavily.

But even so, there were officials with wealthy families who actually paid the ransom.

For example, the Star Ring Group is like this.

"Ms. Ai, the crime committed by Ms. Cheng is abominable to both humans and gods. Although her position in the Earth Federation is not higher than that of the five ministers, you only need to pay the ransom of a deputy ministerial-level cadre. However, Ms. Cheng Xin is too special after all. I am afraid that we cannot release her simply by paying the ransom."

On Io, in the ruins of the former fleet's international command post, Luo Congmin and Ai AA sat opposite each other.

The two sides did not meet very often. After Wade handed over the Star Ring Group to AA, the Star Ring Group lost the halo of the Sword Wielder and its status in the Earth Alliance plummeted in the short term.

After Luo Congmin left the presidency, the two sides had even less interactions.

Ai AA knew this and was not surprised, but there was still some dissatisfaction on his face.

"The Earth Union is the only government agency left in the human race. Could it be that they are so dishonest? They said they would release the people if they paid the money, but what happened now?"

Luo Congmin was too lazy to argue with this woman. Behind Cheng Xin was the Star Ring Group. Although she did not participate much in the whole thing, the reconstruction of the Ring World was not enough to rely on the Di Lian family alone. If Luo Congmin did not take the opportunity to blackmail her, he would feel a little sorry for the momentum that Lin Xuan had created for him.

"After all, Cheng Xin is the leader of the whole thing. It's not that we want to hold Cheng Xin hostage, but no one wants Cheng Xin to be let go."

Luo Congmin directly brought up the greater good and placed himself on the moral high ground.

After all, she is still the nominal president of all mankind. As long as she is right, she is already in an invincible position.

"Unless... Star Ring Group can come up with something that will convince everyone."

After taking a deep breath, Ai AA knew that there was no point in continuing to argue, so he just made things clear.

"Tell me, what conditions does the Dilian want in order to release Cheng Xin?"

A smile appeared on Luo Congmin's face. She was waiting for the other party to say this.

"We have already secured the material and financial resources for the reconstruction of the Ring World, but we are still lacking in technology."

As Luo Congmin spoke, he casually pulled out a piece of paper from the table next to him and waved it in the air.

The piece of paper immediately turned into a screen, displaying a series of information.

"If we rebuild the ring world according to the original plan, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the solar system smoothly before the Dark Forest strikes. But it doesn't matter. The Trisolaran civilization... oh no, they can't be called a civilization now. They made an exception and provided us with some guidance in technology, so that we can upgrade our technology tree in the shortest possible time."

"So, as the largest scientific research institution in the world today, I hope that Star Ring Group can take on this important task. As for why the Three Body doesn't directly transmit the research results to us, I'm not sure, but it seems to be a universally recognized law of the universe. So I'll have to trouble you and Star Ring Group to click on the technology tree."

When Luo Congmin said this, he bowed deeply to Ai AA. This was not to thank him, but to seek a glimmer of hope for all mankind.

Seeing Luo Congmin like this, Ai AA was speechless for a moment.

She originally came to Di Lian to redeem her son, but when she saw Luo Congmin like this, she didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Unknowingly, the Star Ring Group has already gained a pivotal position among humans.

It even determines the future outcome of the entire civilization!

Chapter 256: Damn the doves!

Ai AA only hesitated for a moment and then understood what Luo Congmin meant.

"The Star Ring Group has accepted this job."

In fact, there are quite a few companies of similar size to Star Ring Group in the entire human camp.

After all, with the progress of the times, anarchic management is more prevalent nowadays. In the entire human camp, the Earth Union plays more of a service provider rather than a manager.

So this provides the greatest breeding ground for some capitalist giant companies.

But the Star Ring Group is special. It is the only non-state-owned company with political attributes among all group companies.

No matter how you look at it, the emergence of Wade has given this company a special coat.

This resulted in the punishment imposed on AA by Dilian being relatively light even though he had exceeded his authority on several occasions in running the company.

"Happy cooperation!"

Luo Congmin stood up, shook hands with Ai AA politely, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

She knew that this woman was a lesbian, and she was afraid that if she was too slow, the other party would fall in love with her, which would be troublesome.

"Then... Cheng Xin should be released, right?"

Ai AA did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied with Luo Congmin's impoliteness. She was only concerned about Cheng Xin's affairs now.

"Not yet."

Luo Congmin pointed to the contract they had just signed.

"Everything will have to wait until the restoration of the ring world takes effect. However, please rest assured during this period, the Earth Union will hand Cheng Xin over to Lin Xuan for care and will never interfere in this matter to ensure the fairness of the implementation of peace."

When Ai AA heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Farewell, let the Earth Alliance intervene. I believe in you!"

Handing Cheng Xin over to Lin Xuan, are you afraid that she won't die soon enough?

Cheng Xin suffers from severe mental disorders, and 90% of the reasons are related to Lin Xuan.

If Cheng Xin is given to her, given Lin Xuan's personality, it is possible that she will kill Cheng Xin and give her a replacement.

Well... he is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

In fact, Luo Congmin didn't really want to use Cheng Xin to threaten the Star Ring Group. She didn't want to disappoint the Star Ring Group.

But her father Luo Ji suggested that Cheng Xin should be locked up to prevent any more trouble. They don't have a third swordsman for her to use.

That makes sense when you think about it.

As for the relationship between Dilian and StarRing Group, it won’t be too late to repair it later.

After dealing with the matters of the Star Ring Group, as soon as I left the conference room, my assistant came running over in a hurry.

"Ms. Luo, there's a big problem. The people who paid the advance payment for the batch of housing around the world that our land union promised to provide are making a scene at the door."

When Luo Congmin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Damn it! It's really one thing after another!"

When Ring World was being built, due to financial constraints, Luo Congmin had someone pre-purchase a batch of properties.

The actual operation is probably similar to the PDC's pre-sale of dungeon residency rights.

But the problem is, the ring world was blown up by the Trisolarans and all the houses were destroyed!

Many people who paid the pre-sale deposit lost both their money and their lives in an instant, so naturally they were unwilling to do so.

This time, their families all gathered together and began to collectively protest against this incident, demanding that the local union give them an explanation.

Luo Congmin was completely overwhelmed by this kind of thing as she had no experience in dealing with it.

The last time this happened, the PDC did not offer a solution, but because everyone's attention was focused on Lin Xuan and the Wallfacer's decisive comeback, there was no chance for a commotion.

The current situation is completely different from that year. No one knows when the Dark Forest attack will suddenly come after the broadcast is sent out, so everyone is holding the mentality of living one day at a time.

They have plenty of time to continue fighting with the Ground Alliance.

Anyway, everyone will die in the end. We can afford it, but you, the local alliance, may not be able to afford it.

In the end, given Luo Congmin's personality, he would definitely just pay the money and let the matter go.

But what the Earth Union lacks most right now is money, and she can't possibly spend any more money on such a meaningless thing.

"Sure enough, at this critical moment, we have to ask Lin Xuan to take action."

Luo Congmin called Lin Xuan directly and briefly informed her of the situation here. This kind of professional matter should be left to professionals.

After listening to Luo Congmin's narration, the latter was stunned for a moment and then spoke.

"Do you need me to teach you something like this? Can't you just deal with it directly?"

Luo Congmin was stunned when he heard this.

"This... is not a good idea. After all, the Earth Union is nominally the only government agency of mankind. If we deal with all these troublemakers, it might cause a mutiny, right?"

When Lin Xuan heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.

"Who told you to get rid of this group of people? Can't you be more flexible in your thinking?"

Luo Congmin was still puzzled.

"It's very simple. You just need to delegate the responsibility to the developer. You made the laws. Who is responsible for this matter is up to you to decide."

Lin Xuan gave a sinister smile.

"The government is the one who made the promise, but the construction company has problems. What does it have to do with me being the one who made the promise? Now the Ring World has been blown up by the Trisolarans. Do you think the Earth Union should take the blame?"

"hiss!"

Luo Congmin is worthy of being Luo Ji's daughter. Lin Xuan only gave her a beginning, and she already knew what to do next.

"This kind of thing wouldn't even be considered a big deal in the UN era, but people nowadays have gradually forgotten about it. Go ahead and give these people a little shock from the unfinished building!"

Two days later, the Federation of Local Governments issued a statement.

314 companies involved in the construction of Ring World have been included in the list of dishonest persons, and Dilian will never cooperate with them again.

Subsequently, Dilian also made a detailed division of the specific contracting areas of these enterprises and announced them.

At this point, the masses who had originally united to seek an explanation from the Local Federation suddenly shifted their focus from the Local Federation to these companies.

The once solid alliance collapsed in an instant.

Everyone started to go to the corresponding company to collect debts for their own piece of land, and it was no longer possible to unite.

But anyone who is careful will find that the hundreds of companies announced by the Federation of Local Governments are closely related to the dovish members of the Federation of Local Governments.

Just when everyone was looking forward to getting their little fortune back from these companies, the Local Union directly raided these hundreds of companies on charges of crimes against humanity.

The reason is very simple: illegal fundraising.

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.

Everyone was speechless by the Ground Union's outrageous operation.

Some people wanted to ask Dilian for the money, but were rejected on the grounds that the company's funds had been frozen and the financing was being checked.

In this wave, Lin Xuan treated all the home buyers as leeks.

At the same time, they also took the opportunity to make a fortune from these companies, and by the way, put a huge blame on the doves.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

People will not resent the local union for seizing their money. In their view, the local union's operation of seizing the stolen money is reasonable and legal.

They only resent the incompetence of the doves, who not only flirted with the Three-Body Civilization, but also caused them to lose half their life savings.

In an instant, the voices condemning Cheng Xin and others became louder than ever before.

Luo Ji sat by the window, reading the latest news on the Internet, and couldn't help but smile.

"As expected, for ordinary people, they will only cry out in pain when they are whipped. In their view, no matter how fierce the factional disputes in the Federation of Local Authorities are, they have nothing to do with them."

"But now, everyone has turned into a politician and started to criticize Cheng Xin. So, sometimes we have to learn to drag all of humanity down with us. We can't always let us be heroes and do everything while they sit back and reap the benefits."
