Chapter 734: Chapter 733 Waiting for an Opportunity
It wasn’t that Qin Yanyang lacked confidence, but as for a man with a past, she just couldn’t bring herself to trust him again.
She used to be brimming with self-assurance, believing that in terms of looks, figure, temperament, and even family background and innate talent for cultivation, she was good enough for Yang Fei, and wouldn’t lose his interest to another woman.
But the harsh reality had taught her a brutal lesson, letting her know that no matter how outstanding you are, if you encounter a scumbag, there’s no solution.
Of course, she also admitted that there were many devoted men in the world, but those men often encountered manipulative women.
On the other end of the phone, Li Xuanyu listened to Qin Yanyang’s praise and yet couldn’t help feeling that there was something off about her tone, carrying a strong sense of hostility and even sarcasm.
She also remembered their initial encounter in Binhai, where she had felt no fear towards this woman, despite knowing she was already married to Yang Fei, yet still constantly provoked her.
Considering this, Li Xuanyu no longer cared about Qin Yanyang’s current attitude and said, "Thanks for the compliment, but Miss Qin is also a heroine that I truly admire in my heart. Giggles, we are both outstanding women, so there’s no need for mutual flattery here, shall we talk about something serious?"
"Go ahead," Qin Yanyang said bluntly.
Li Xuanyu said, "Those bastards in Japan might start a third war. Their higher-ups have secretly signed an agreement to launch a nuclear strike, and East Asia will soon fall into chaos."
"Are you sure about such important news?" Qin Yanyang asked.
Li Xuanyu replied, "It’s eighty percent reliable. Of course, it could also be a false alarm, but given my understanding of the Japanese, the probability that they would make such a decision is very high. However, it’s always better to prevent than cure, right?"
"That’s true. However, my grandfather has already told me this news. I heard you insisted on speaking with me, is there anything else?" Qin Yanyang asked.
"I need a favor from you," Li Xuanyu stated.
"Speak," Qin Yanyang responded.
"Open your arms to us, at the necessary time, a lot of us will seek to escape the chaos by heading to Divine Continent, and I hope you can accept us," Li Xuanyu revealed her intention.
This was a decision she had made after careful consideration.
If the world chaos turns uncontrollable in the future, no country would be safe, but relative to others, this powerful neighboring country seemed more reliable, and being the closest, it was most suitable for them.
"Divine Continent is a peace advocate and will firmly maintain world peace and stability. But if a large-scale conflict does erupt in East Asia, it will be difficult to accept immigrants to prevent spies from infiltrating Divine Continent and undermining its stability; however, we can promise to provide you with living supplies if conditions allow," Qin Yanyang said after a slight hesitation.
Li Xuanyu’s expression changed, and she said gravely, "You can’t accept us?"
"Sorry, this concerns the security of Divine Continent itself, I cannot decide on my own," Qin Yanyang replied coldly.
"Heh, do you know what you’re refusing?" Li Xuanyu suddenly laughed.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, then the cool, icy tone returned, "Is this how you ask for a favor?"
Ignoring her, Li Xuanyu said directly, "The Li Family’s Financial Group will move its wealth out of Seoul, along with the assets of a dozen other top tycoons in my country, the transfer of this wealth to any nation that accepts us can significantly reshape the global distribution of wealth in the future."
Qin Yanyang decisively said, "I can help you apply for entry qualifications, but you need to show your sincerity in advance."
"Heh..."
Li Xuanyu chuckled lightly, her tone seemingly carrying a sense of triumphant pride, and yet also a touch of disdain and mockery, mixed with helplessness and sorrow from being threatened and manipulated.
Fall behind, and you’ll be beaten.
No matter how developed Korea’s economy might become under the effort of the tycoon forces, without absolute power, once world disorder ensues, the so-called tycoons can only become lambs to be slaughtered.
"Give me a point of contact." After the laughter, Li Xuanyu spoke.
For her, the Western powers were far more greedy than Divine Continent, which followed Confucian ideals. If East Asia were to plunge into war, then Divine Continent would be the best sanctuary, especially since her most trusted person was there.
She believed that as long as he was there, and as long as she could provide a substantial wealth for him, no matter how torn the world would become, there would be a pure land that belonged to them.
Imperial Capital.
After finishing the call with Li Xuanyu, Qin Yanyang’s face bore no trace of joy.
The sizable wealth of Korea’s tycoons being transferred into Divine Continent Country is undoubtedly a great boon for Divine Continent.
However, the rash actions of Japan have caused her unease.
East Asia is in turmoil first, but the Western World has not completely descended into chaos, which isn’t good news for Divine Continent.
After all, once Japan goes mad and provokes a war, Divine Continent will inevitably become the first formidable enemy they set their sights on.
And currently, although Divine Continent’s overall strength is formidable, it is still in a state of disintegration.
This is an extremely dangerous affair.
If people in the northeast and central war zones are just slightly less steadfast, history will repeat itself, and the situation may even become more perilous.
We must put an end to the division as soon as possible.
But this is easier said than done.
The war of public opinion is only the first step.
There isn’t much time now, but the effects have already been significant.
People all over the country are sneering at the Chu Family Faction’s actions, and the one-sided public condemnation has begun, solely targeting the Chu Family Faction.
Just today, many officials in Imperial Capital have resigned, with many others secretly inquiring for information, attempting to show sincerity to the south.
As the first to be ’abandoned’ by the Chu Family Faction, these officials who truly held positions and got things done developed a strong dissatisfaction with the Chu Family Faction.
Those filled with passion even despise the Chu Family Faction’s behavior of hiding whenever trouble arises.
How can such a group lead the great Divine Continent to grow and prosper?
Even the mid and high-level members of the Chu Family Faction are greatly dissatisfied, and some have even started harboring thoughts of betrayal.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The Chu Family Faction, for fear of being decapitated by the Qin Yanyang group, took their high-level relatives and hid away, an act that revealed their incompetence and cowardice to the vast majority of their middle and lower followers. This was disheartening, causing their support to crumble.
Furthermore, the video publicly released by Qin Yanyang, which exposed the conspiracy of the Hidden Sect, allowed the people to see the Chu Family’s true colors.
Not wanting to become the lowliest of citizens under Hidden Sect rule, people can only rise up against it, striving to prevent the Hidden Sect from taking control of the world.
The Chu Family Faction chose to bow down to the Hidden Sect, to compromise, to recognize the Hidden Sect’s influence as their master.
By contrast, the Qin Family’s group endeavored to defend the rights of the people of Divine Continent, fighting against the Hidden Sect that sought to dominate over the ordinary populace.
The superior choice was clear.
In the face of such circumstances, anyone with national integrity, passion, ideals, and ambition, descendants of Yanhuang, would be able to make the right choice in their hearts.
But this takes time.
Qin Yanyang believed that given enough time, she could resolve this divisive farce without drawing a sword.
But now, the frantic nation of Japan is attempting to start a war, which means time is of the essence.
After musing for a long time, she shot two unwavering lights from her eyes and dialed an internal encrypted number, saying, "Keep a close watch on Japan’s movements, inform me of any developments immediately."
The internal issues of Divine Continent need to be resolved quickly and decisively.
Perhaps, the actions of Japan could provide an opportunity.
If one wishes to restore unity once more, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable.
She can only strive to keep such bloodshed and sacrifice within a certain limit.
