Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 265 The Celebration Ends
That's a seat only truly important people can sit in!

Yang Mi was still full of doubt, yet she was quite certain that Jiang Nian's figure had indeed appeared in the fleeting image she saw on the screen.

Even if Jiang Nian were reduced to ashes, Yang Mi would still recognize him.

Yang Mi can accept Jiang Nian no matter where he appears.

But Jiang Nian happened to appear in the most unexpected place.

For a moment, Yang Mi's brain seemed to freeze, and she watched the live broadcast in front of her with great anxiety.

It was supposed to be a flag-raising ceremony, but she couldn't concentrate on watching it; she was constantly hoping for something else to happen.

"Quickly broadcast it to the city wall! Quickly broadcast it!"

Yang Mi kept hoping, but the result ultimately disappointed her.

The image remains frozen on the flag-raising ceremony, unchanged.

Suddenly, Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:
"Oh, right! Maybe other countries will be broadcasting it live!"

Then, Yang Mi quickly picked up the remote control and switched to another international platform.

In an instant, television platforms from hundreds of different countries appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing this, Yang Mi frantically switched between the two:

"There must be one, there must be one!"

Aside from the Great Xia, other countries are more likely to be concerned about the leaders and important figures of the Great Xia, and may pay less attention to the flag-raising ceremony itself, so they are more likely to see the scene on the city wall.

"No, not this one!"

Yang Mi switched channels quickly, and as soon as a scene appeared, unless it was a scene from the city wall, she would immediately switch to the next channel.

After repeated adjustments, she finally saw Jiang Nian on American television!

At that moment, Yang Mi's face lit up with a smile:

"Found him! It really was him!"

Looking at Jiang Nian sitting at the celebration on the screen, Yang Mi felt completely dumbfounded.

Is Jiang Nian back?
And it's right here in the capital!

Thinking of this, Yang Mi couldn't wait to pick up her phone and call Jiang Nian.

But the next second, Yang Mi's finger froze in mid-air, unable to press the dial button.

A flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes, but after a moment of internal struggle, she put the phone down.

At such a critical moment, if I make a phone call that affects Jiang Nian or even the important figures around me, I might be ruthlessly blacklisted because of this unintentional act.

Yang Mi had no doubt about this.

After all, even those stars who were once extremely popular, or even those who have become top celebrities and leading figures in the entertainment industry, are not immune to this.

Even a minor incident that infringes on national interests could lead to a dramatic fall from grace, eventually leaving someone so poor they can't even afford to eat.

If your phone call causes problems, the consequences could be disastrous.

Although she was Jiang Nian's lover, and making a phone call seemed like nothing, Yang Mi didn't dare to gamble.

After calming down, Yang Mi suppressed her excitement, pouted, and looked at Jiang Nian on TV with a dissatisfied expression, complaining:

"You, Jiang Nian, you're clearly in the capital, yet you neither contact me nor reply to my messages."

It seems you've made up your mind not to care about me at all!
"Fine, fine, from today onwards, I'm a dog if I ever talk to you again!"

In a fit of pique, Yang Mi finally snapped and hugged a pillow while watching Jiang Nian on TV. She then proceeded to punch and kick the pillow in her arms, all the while complaining.

Meanwhile, at Jiang Nian's home.

The two girls, Gao Yuan'er and Huang Shengyi, who were temporarily pausing their fight over snacks, happened to miss a fleeting glimpse of Jiang Nian.

Meanwhile, America.

All of America's top management were gathered in one office, watching the Great Xia flag-raising ceremony projected onto a huge projector in front of them.

When the live broadcast focused on Jiang Nian on the city wall, everyone frowned and seemed to be deep in thought.

But to avoid attracting attention, after a brief exchange, one of America's top leaders whispered an order:
"Pass the word down to move the camera away."

"Yes."

At this moment, Yang Mi, who was lying on the sofa, was looking at Jiang Nian sitting on the city tower with great satisfaction, admiring Jiang Nian's handsome appearance.

Suddenly, the scene flashed and shifted to the flag-raising ceremony, leaving Yang Mi completely astonished.

"What's going on? Why is it being broadcast live?!"

"Turn back quickly!"

Yang Mi complained with dissatisfaction.

But after waiting for a while, the scene showed no sign of rewinding.

Yang Mi couldn't wait and quickly picked up the remote control, continuing to switch between various foreign TV platforms.

As a result, over a hundred foreign television platforms were all focused on the flag-raising ceremony at Daxia.

This left Yang Mi feeling both disappointed and helpless. She had finally gotten a chance to appreciate Jiang Nian at her own pace, but it was all gone.

Left with no other option, Yang Mi switched the TV station back to Daxia TV and watched the flag-raising ceremony in peace.

At this moment, in America's office.

Seeing that the camera had switched away, these senior managers stopped paying attention to the flag-raising ceremony in Daxia; they had no interest in the matter.

Their main concern was how to get Jiang Nian into their hands.

One of them said helplessly:

"Let's do our best, but let's not alert them for now."

"Let them withdraw."

"it is good!"

A subordinate responded and then relayed the instructions.

At this time, it was within seven to twelve kilometers of the Great Xia flag-raising ceremony.

This large area, which appears to be undefended, is actually covered by a giant security network.

Countless Americans have been trying to get within seven kilometers to observe Jiang Nian up close and find people or things that could threaten him.

Unfortunately, despite trying everything they could, they couldn't even reach the seven-kilometer warning line.

Every time I made a move, I immediately realized that I was being watched.

Their intuition even told them that if they took just one more step forward, they might die silently on the spot in the next second.

Just as they were about to try everything, even risk their lives, a peculiar sound mixed with electronic music suddenly came from the invisible earpieces in all their ears:
"Evacuate immediately! Execute Plan C!"

Hearing the cold voice in their earpieces, everyone's faces showed surprise and astonishment.

But they did not hesitate at all. Almost the instant they heard the order, they immediately packed up everything on site, taking away everything they could and destroying anything they couldn't on the spot.

Then, following the pre-arranged escape route, they rushed towards the outer perimeter, away from the encirclement of various hidden forces in the Great Xia Dynasty.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the hidden forces in Great Xia. Many leaders in charge of national defense frowned upon seeing this, feeling a sense of unease.

Something's fishy going on. Why are these guys retreating all at once? Could it be some kind of trap they're trying to lure you into?
"Keep a close watch on them," the minister said sternly.

"Yes!"

The subordinate immediately started staring intently at the monitor screen again.

Actually, he wasn't too worried.

The defenses and hidden forces here are the most numerous and complex.

Almost any corner, even in an inconspicuous underground sewer, or in a corner that is almost deserted.

As long as there is the slightest movement, someone will be able to appear at the target location within a minute, so they are not worried about these people causing any trouble.

The defense leader remained calm because he knew what the Americans' objectives were.

If he were America, he would have made a similar decision this time.

As time passed and the ceremony came to an end, this grand celebration also came to a close.

The next second, thunderous applause erupted throughout the celebration venue.

"Mr. Jiang, the flag-raising ceremony is over. Do you have any plans for the rest of the time?"

The old gentleman next to Jiang Nian immediately smiled and asked.

Meanwhile, many people around turned their attention to Jiang Nian, curiously observing him.

This young man, who has recently become a sensation online and is even well-known among the upper echelons of Daxia, is a source of curiosity for every important figure here. They are all curious about what Jiang Nian's true nature is like.

Jiang Nian shook his head and said:
"There are no plans. If there is, it would be to send my parents back."

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and nodded:

"Alright, in that case, Mr. Jiang, please return to your hotel."

After the old man finished speaking, he patted Jiang Nian on the shoulder, smiled and nodded at Jiang Nian's father, Jiang Hongye, and mother, then got up and left the city tower, and the rest of the people also left one by one.

Jiang Nian did not dwell on this further:

"Mom and Dad, let's go too."

"it is good!"

Jiang Hongye was flattered and surprised.

At that moment, his mind went blank, and he was extremely excited.

Such an important figure actually took the initiative to show them goodwill; this was something they never dared to dream of.

So when he followed Jiang Nian down the city wall, he was still in a daze.

The elderly couple couldn't even remember how they got back to the hotel; all they knew was that at that moment, such an important person had actually nodded to them—something they could brag about for the rest of their lives.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Hongye and Jiang Nian's mother looked at Jiang Nian curiously.

At this moment, their minds were filled with countless questions.

Who exactly is my son now?

What is his/her identity?
At first, Jiang Nian claimed to be a national first-class actor, and at that time they were quite willing to believe him.

It's not impossible that one's own son is successful in his career, has outstanding abilities, and is a good actor, so it's not impossible that he would be promoted and valued by national leaders.

After all, the word "national" is added before "first-class actor".

However, during the ceremony, he saw such high-ranking leaders and important figures, people he never dared to imagine meeting in his entire life, chatting and laughing with Jiang Nian.

They even placed their son, Jiang Nian, in such an important position.
How could they not overthink this?

"Mom and Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Nian looked at the old couple staring at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

To be honest, Jiang Nian couldn't tell them the truth directly, lest the elderly couple overthink it.

Moreover, once the truth is told to them, the elderly couple will inevitably have to be careful about what they say in the future, and will have to consider what they should and should not say.

It's even possible that because they know the truth, they will have to move to a seemingly prosperous but completely unfamiliar place, where they will be under constant surveillance and protection.

Although this could elevate their standard of living by several levels.

But Jiang Nian didn't want the elderly couple to go through such a lot of trouble at their age.

The village is full of familiar people and things, and the elderly couple enjoys this kind of life. This is something they had told Jiang Nian before; they really like their current life.

If things change, it might even make them feel uneasy.

Especially given the couple's experience, once they went to a big city, they might even hesitate to go into an ordinary shop.

Because the facade of a big city can never compare to that of a small town; excessive luxury and extravagance will have a huge impact on their lives.

So after thinking for a moment, Jiang Nian said:

"Mom, Dad, don't look at me like that. I never thought I'd be sitting there today."

"Perhaps it's because my acting skills are indeed quite good. Your son's acting skills are top-notch among the younger generation, so the country might want to heavily promote me, who knows!"

At this point, Jiang Nian even started to boast.

After seeing this scene, the elderly couple burst into laughter, and their worries vanished instantly.

Then, the elderly couple pulled Jiang Nian aside and kept telling him to be obedient and do things well, patiently persuading him.

Jiang Nian also patiently accommodated this.

After lunch, the elderly couple got up and boarded a plane back to their hometown.

This time, with their experience, the two elders no longer needed to worry Jiang Nian.

Moreover, due to the special circumstances of the two elderly people, the flight they took today was carefully arranged, with all the passengers being security personnel. Everyone else who had booked this flight was privately notified to change their flight due to special reasons.

The elderly couple were completely unaware of this, and peacefully embarked on their journey home.

This trip was the happiest they've ever been, and their son's growth was their greatest reward.

At this moment, after seeing off the two elders, Jiang Nian felt relaxed and extremely happy.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

"What a huge chicken cutlet! What a really, really huge..."

Yang Mi?

Jiang Nian looked at the caller ID on his phone and a mischievous smile crept across his face.

This woman is calling now, so she probably already knew I was back, right?
Out of curiosity, Jiang Nian answered the phone and immediately heard Yang Mi's voice on the other end, which was both dissatisfied and aggrieved.

"Damn Jiang Nian, he finally answered the phone!"

"I was so worried about you, but you didn't even tell me you were coming back to the capital."

"The script you asked me to help you with, I've found it, but you can forget about getting it!"

"I'd rather burn this script as firewood than give it to you!"

beep~
Before Jiang Nian could speak, the phone went dead.
