Chapter 236 Questioning
Jiang Nian is in a very bad mood right now.

He felt that this group of people were like a piece of dog shit plaster.

Once it's stuck on, you can't get it off no matter what you do.

And why are they so fixated on Jiang Nian?

He destroyed your ancestral graves, didn't he?

"Damn, let's get going!"

"No, you all go first, I'll cover the rear!"

Jiang Nian changed his approach and addressed the group.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi let out a soft "Eh?": "Shall we leave first? Teacher Jiang, did you discover something?"

"Hmm." Jiang Nian nodded, his expression serious. "I'm now certain that this group is after me. If I lead the way, you might also be in danger. It would be better if I covered the rear. That way, even if they catch up, they'll most likely only attack me and won't bother you."

This is currently the optimal solution.

Jiang Nian sacrificed himself, falling to the very back of the group.

This way, they can both protect Huang Shengyi and his group and draw fire, creating ample space for them to escape.

Conversely, if he continues to lead the team, and these people catch up, they will all be wiped out, and no one will escape!
"No, you can't cover the rear. You are our core. What will happen to us if something happens to you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Nian's suggestion, Bai Yongxu immediately stood up and raised his objection.

Jiang Nian rolled his eyes at this: "What I do is none of your business. This is how it is. Besides, we might not even be discovered. Let's hurry up and leave. If we don't leave soon, they will catch up with us, and then we won't be able to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Linyu and Huang Shengyi nodded, then started running again.

Seeing this, Bai Yongxu still couldn't put his mind at ease.

So he told the other team members to follow and clear the way ahead.

He himself stayed by Jiang Nian's side, bringing up the rear with her.

Jiang Nian didn't say much about his behavior.

He only caught up with Huang Shengyi and Zhang Linyu after they had walked about a hundred meters away, ensuring a safe distance between them so that he could catch up immediately if anything happened.

They walked one after the other through the mountains and forests, heading towards the capital.

And in heaven.

The aircraft's advanced instruments provided a comprehensive view of Jiang Nian and his team's actions.

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.

"Did you find out so quickly?"

"They're really vigilant!"

"No wonder he can attract the attention of those adults."

He murmured quietly.

But I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Whether Jiang Nian discovers it or not, it doesn't really matter!

From the moment those important figures noticed Jiang Nian, his fate was already sealed.

In particular, he personally took charge of this matter.

If William and John were fighting alone and in the air, that's why Jiang Nian succeeded.

What if he doesn't fight alone, or even show his face, and simply overwhelms the enemy with sheer numbers?
Ten people might not be able to beat you, Jiang Nian, but a hundred people could surely do it.

If a hundred isn't enough, then a thousand, or even equipping a thousand people with guns and gear?
"You are very strong."

"But sorry, this is the age of technology, and firearms are the true king!"

The man, speaking from a high and mighty position, deduced the direction Jiang Nian and his group would take next by observing their movements. He then called King Gochar XVII, instructing him to continue mobilizing troops to intercept them.

Upon hearing this, King Gochar XVII immediately gave the order to mobilize the rebel army.

They strode closer to Jiang Nian and the others.

Meanwhile, domestically, the Civil Aviation Administration...

"Report: Unable to contact them."

The staff member put down his headphones and reported the news to the Defense and Security officer standing next to him.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Defense and Security Department frowned.

In the afternoon, they arrested the leader on the plane who was planning to flee abroad, and found evidence of his contacts with foreign countries on his phone.

They realized that this matter had escalated significantly.

So he immediately tried to contact Bai Yongxu.

However, despite trying to contact them for a long time, they were unable to reach them.

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal if they couldn't be contacted.

But the problem is that Bai Yongxu is no ordinary person.

As the leader of the First Action Group of the Department of National Defense and Security.

He always carries a satellite phone with him.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he is still in China, even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, he can receive signals and communicate with them.

The fact that they couldn't get through meant that Bai Yongxu had already left the country when they called.

So they rushed to the Civil Aviation Administration.

Let's see if the Civil Aviation Administration can get in touch with that flight.

As for the result, it's obvious.

Even though the Civil Aviation Administration called Yunnan Province, which is closest to the border, they still couldn't get in touch with them.

Do you have a route map for this flight?

"That's what the Defense and Security Department asked."

Upon hearing this, the staff did not dare to be careless and quickly retrieved the flight route and presented it to the members of the National Defense and Security Department.

Looking at the complicated roadmap, the members of the Defense and Security Department scratched their heads in frustration.

Just as he was pondering where the plane should be now and which country's aviation authority to call,

"Ring ring—"

"Ring ring—"

Suddenly, the internal device he had placed in his pocket vibrated, making a crisp sound.

Upon hearing the call, the person quickly answered the call and heard a hurried voice coming from the other end.

"Come back, we've found the White Team!"

Upon hearing this, the man was overjoyed: "Where?"

"Northern India, but the situation for Team White is not good right now. Near Team White and Mr. Jiang, a group of rebels have started fighting with the locals and are currently in danger. I am on my way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to try to get them involved in this matter. You can go back and deal with other things now."

"That's what the person on the other end of the phone said."

Upon hearing this, the man frowned.

North India, rebels?

"Then hurry up, I'll go contact Mr. Jiang's boss now and see if she has any more clues."

"it is good!"

The person on the other end of the phone responded and then hung up.

Hearing the busy tone from his phone, a member of the National Defense and Security Department of the space agency sighed and rubbed his temples.

He increasingly felt that something was amiss.

He then looked at the bewildered space agency staff member, pulled out a document from his pocket, and said: "Alright, you don't need to bother anymore. This matter has been resolved. Now sign the confidentiality agreement. Don't make a fuss about this today. Keep it to yourself, understand?"

"Understood, understood!" The staff member nodded hurriedly, then took the document and quickly signed his name on it.

After the members of the National Defense and Security Department confirmed that everything was correct, they put the documents away, left, and went to find Yang Mi.

At this moment, Yang Mi is handling official business in the office, checking on her company's financial situation.

Although they signed Jiang Nian, a superstar who was at the peak of his career.

But this didn't actually bring much benefit to her studio.

After all, the contract with Jiang Nian clearly stated that for the next five years, the revenue would be split 20/80 between her and Jiang Nian.

This means that even if Jiang Nian's salary for a single drama is as high as 100 million yuan, she would only receive 20 million yuan.

Furthermore, after taxes were deducted from the 20 million, the actual amount received would likely be less than 10 million.

Basically, it's not profitable.

According to the quarterly reports for the first half of the year.

Yang Mi did the math.

She discovered that over the past six months, she had only earned five million in bits and pieces!

"Damn, how come there's so little?"

"So all this time, I've been working like a slave here, putting in overtime every day, worrying myself sick for the company, and I still don't earn as much as I did when I went off to act in movies?!"

Upon calculating the specific profits, Yang Mi was immediately somewhat taken aback.

Now she finally understood why so many big stars in the entertainment industry earn so much money, and even though they could have retired long ago, they still work hard on the front lines.

So, if you don't work hard, you'll end up eating dirt on the street!
At the same time, I understand why so many celebrity companies, even at the risk of being blacklisted and investigated, still evade taxes.

Because if we don't sneak in some tricks or leak some information, there's really no way we can get through this!
She currently manages two phenomenal star artists, Dilraba and Jiang Nian.

They are barely managing to keep the company running.

Without these two people, her studio would probably be disbanded in no time!

"Damn, no wonder the country is so supportive of people starting their own businesses."

"So, as long as you start a business, one company can drive hundreds of millions of GDP. The key is that after driving it, the boss doesn't have much money left; it's all absorbed internally."

Yang Mi grumbled and cursed.

She felt this wouldn't work, so she scratched her head and started thinking about what to do next.

He will return to the entertainment industry and continue acting.

Or perhaps they should venture into the film and television industry.

Yang Mi thought about it and felt that the latter was better.

Because her purpose in starting the company was to make a lot of money for herself.

Although he continued acting, he still earned quite a bit.

However, compared to filming movies and TV series, it still pales in comparison.

After all, the former can only earn a hundred or two hundred million from a single film at most.

But if the latter produces a blockbuster film, they can easily earn billions.

However, this also presents Yang Mi with a problem.

If you want to enter the film and television industry, where will you get the resources?
Let's not talk about much else, just money.

Including this year's profit of five million.

Her company only had 30 million in current assets.

Admittedly, she could hire people from her own studio to act, thus reducing costs.

But what about the others?
The script, equipment, venue, post-production, and marketing.

These things, with only 30 million, are far from enough to stop them.

"How about we find an investor and sign a performance-based agreement?"

Yang Mi tapped her pen on the table, her thoughts wandering.

Just as she was thinking.

"Ring ring—"

"Ring ring—"

Inside the room, the phone connected to the door rang, disrupting her thoughts.

Yang Mi snapped out of her daze, pressed a button on the table, and the screen immediately rose up, showing the person standing at the door.

Seeing that he was wearing a police uniform, Yang Mi frowned slightly, then answered the phone and asked, "Hello? Who is this?"

Then the man at the door took out an ID from his pocket, unfolded it in front of the camera, and said in a serious tone:

"Ms. Yang, hello. I am a member of the First Action Team of the National Defense and Security Department. This is my identification. We suspect you of being involved in a case of treason. Please open the door immediately and cooperate with our investigation!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi was immediately taken aback.

His face immediately showed a deep sense of disbelief.

It's not that I don't believe the other party's identity.

Several months ago, when dealing with matters concerning Sunshine Capital, she had met with people from the Department of National Defense and Security along with Jiang Nian.

Therefore, she knew from the other party's identification documents that there was no problem with his identity.

But at this point, the biggest problem is that there are no problems!

Because Yang Mi didn't leave the house at all today.

How the hell did this involve treason?!

What's going on? !

Yang Mi was very flustered.

He then quickly opened the door and left the office, heading outside.

A short while later, she and the members of the National Defense and Security Department arrived at the conference room.

Looking at the serious-looking members of the Defense and Security Department.

Yang Mi felt very uneasy.

She paused for a moment, then forced herself to speak: "Um, officer, could you tell me about that treason case you mentioned earlier? I haven't been in contact with anyone recently, so it's impossible for it to be treason!"

The member of the National Defense and Security Department responded with a cold expression: "Whether it's possible or not is not up to you, Ms. Yang. According to our investigation, you just spoke with Mr. Jiang yesterday and bought him a plane ticket to America, right?"

"That's because he has business dealings with America. Is there a problem with that?"

"Of course there's a problem, Ms. Yang. I can tell you clearly now that Jiang Nian, an artist under your company, is a key protected target of our First Action Group of the National Defense Security Department. According to our protection strategy for him, he is not allowed to leave the country. But now, not only has he left the country, but he was also attacked by an enemy country on his way out, and they wanted to take him away. Ms. Yang, now you understand why I said you are suspected of treason."

He calmly and slowly explained the situation on Jiang Nian's side.

Upon learning of this, Yang Mi's face turned pale.

Although she knew that Jiang Nian had a close relationship with the Department of National Defense and Security.

But I never expected that Jiang Nian would be so important in the Department of National Defense and Security!

And they were attacked by airstrikes on their way abroad.
this.
"How is Jiang Nian doing now?"

Coming to her senses, Yang Mi asked the question immediately.

They are very concerned about Jiang Nian's current situation.

Upon hearing this, the other party did not hide anything and said frankly:
"Mr. Jiang's current situation is not ideal. He and Bai Yongxu, the leader of our first action group of the National Defense and Security Department, have landed near North India and are currently being attacked and surrounded by rebels."

"Now, Ms. Yang, please answer my question directly: why did you send Mr. Jiang abroad? Was it at someone's behest, or were you instigated by someone?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi looked completely at a loss.

"No, I wasn't instructed or instigated by anyone. I sent him abroad simply because of business cooperation overseas! Apart from that, I had absolutely no intention of harming Jiang Nian!"
