Andrew Fort laughed up at the sky, "Mr. President, you truly are a genius at playing dumb. Your people gave me this information; you must have already prepared how to respond!"
"Mr. Andrew," Joseph Biden's face remained somber, "I have indeed prepared contingencies, but a very mysterious hacker group from Longguo is involved. I fear the plan might leak, and I need your support."
Considering that under Joseph Biden's leadership, several major plans targeting Longguo by the Beautiful Country had gone awry recently.
For the sake of safety, Andrew Fort temporarily excused himself. After consulting with the top executives of three other corporations, he accepted Joseph Biden's invitation.
Taklamakan Desert, 4 PM.
The top leader of Longguo, while claiming to be busy with official duties, was quite honest, spending five to six hours farming in the desert, maxing out his level to the current setting's highest, level 10, the same as Jing Mingqiu.
After burying the last seed, the top leader sat on the ridge of the field, like an ordinary old farmer. He took the plain water from Jing Mingqiu, gulped down several mouthfuls, wiped his sweat, and smiled.
"Mingqiu, the design of this is excellent, but there are a few areas that could be slightly modified. For instance, the rewards, simply unlocking seeds upon leveling up is rather lacking."
"Food, clothing, and other daily necessities could also be added. Those who are engrossed in games to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep are the minority. For most people, being well-fed is the fundamental need..."
As the top leader was imparting his experience to Jing Mingqiu, his assistant suddenly rushed over, "Sir, it's not good! Something big has happened!"
"The New Energy Vehicle Research Institute, the First Battery Research Institute, and several large factories suddenly experienced violent explosions, followed by rapid fires."
The assistant's face grew dimmer, "Although firefighters from the surrounding areas rushed to support immediately, due to the intense fires and multiple ignition points, the firefighting resources are severely insufficient. The firefighters can only contain the flames and prevent them from spreading, they cannot completely extinguish them..."
Upon hearing this, the top leader's expression changed drastically. He directly interrupted the assistant, "Where are the people? Have they been rescued?"
"Sir, rest assured, most people have been rescued!" The assistant turned to look at Jing Mingqiu and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Professor Jing designed the new firefighting mechs, otherwise, they would have all been burned alive inside..."
Jing Mingqiu waved his hand, interrupting the assistant's flattery, "Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. I remember burns can easily lead to infection and consequently, death. With so many people injured at once, the number of medical pods in the surrounding hospitals must be insufficient."
"Here, take this," Jing Mingqiu flipped his wrist and redeemed a formula for burn medication from the system store, forcing it into the assistant's hand. "Take this and find Yi Wenliu for help. Regardless of anything else, taking this medicine will definitely save their lives!"
"Sir, what about me?" The assistant tightly gripped the formula and had only asked half a sentence before being interrupted again by the top leader.
"What are you still standing around for? Hurry up and go find Yi Wenliu to prepare the medicine and save them!"
After the assistant hurried away, the top leader watched Jing Mingqiu, who had summoned his mech and was boiling with killing intent, and sighed deeply.
"This is my fault. I had already detected that the Beautiful Country had sent many people to gather intelligence. I planned to use the graphene battery modified by you, Mingqiu, as bait to catch a big fish."
"I didn't expect that after they held the press conference, before we could respond, they would directly launch a terrorist attack, aiming to completely destroy all our research achievements in new energy vehicles and monopolize the automotive market."
Jing Mingqiu shook his head, "Boss, this is not your fault! It's those Western beasts, they are insane. Since they disregard righteousness, don't blame me for being ruthless. A life for a life, a debt for a debt."
Seeing Jing Mingqiu about to cross borders to pursue them, repeating his actions in A'qionghan, the top leader quickly got up, put his hands on his shoulders, and said earnestly,
"Mingqiu, this time is different from A'qionghan. This time, we lack evidence. Acting directly will only invite criticism. They are shameless, but we cannot be..."
"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The top leader's impassioned and reasoned speech finally managed to pacify Jing Mingqiu.
"Boss, since you say so, I'll spare their lives for now. However, if I remember correctly, spies are not protected by any laws."
"That's right," the top leader nodded slightly. "There's an unwritten rule in international law: spies have no human rights. Their lives or anything else can be tormented as one wishes."
Jing Mingqiu grinned, revealing a bloody smile, "That's good. Since the masterminds are hiding abroad and I can't touch them for now, I'll have to collect some interest from these spies."
"Boss, you can discuss the adjustments needed for the desert modification system with Cang Yue. I'm leaving first!"
With that, Jing Mingqiu pushed away the top leader's arm, activated the controllable nuclear fusion device at full power, and his figure turned into a stream of light, instantly disappearing from sight.
Recalling Jing Mingqiu's ferocious expression, the top leader sighed again. The month of slaughter in A'qionghan had affected Jing Mingqiu far more than he had anticipated.
However, thinking of the bloody surveillance videos and inhumane human experiments, the top leader could find no reason to stop Jing Mingqiu.
Disembowelment, Lingchi, Dismemberment by Cart...
With Cang Yue's help, after capturing the thirty-seven spies sent by Joseph Biden to steal data and commit arson, Jing Mingqiu personally made them experience ancient torture methods, modern electrocution, and even nightmare-inducing agents that would only appear in the future.
When Joseph Biden discovered that all the spies sent to Longguo had gone missing, his heart trembled. It wasn't until later, when employees of the four major automobile groups in Longguo sent news that the fires at Longguo's factories and research institutes related to new energy were only completely extinguished the next day, and everything inside had been reduced to charcoal, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everything is burned. Even if you're alive, you won't be able to release products and compete with us immediately. In a few more months, after we establish a firm foothold, if you release it then, it will be considered your plagiarism!"
Just as Joseph Biden was rejoicing, he suddenly received a call from Andrew Fort, "It's not good! Mr. President, Longguo has suddenly convened reporters from various countries and is preparing to hold a product launch conference..."
