The little star from the Gobi Desert, handed over to the state, is hailed as a national treasure.

"You still owe the people of Great Xia an apology." Liang Zhe's voice was righteous and firm. "Those insults against our motherland cannot be erased by a simple 'sorry'!"

"What?!" George Yang roared in fury. "Don't push your luck!"

"Since you didn't hear me clearly, I'll say it again," Liang Zhe stepped forward, his tone chilling, "You and your family should solemnly apologize to the people of Great Xia, to the land that gave you birth and nurtured you!"

He exuded an aura of righteous indignation, and Yang Qiaozhi was so intimidated by this aura that he involuntarily shrank back.

He glanced around and saw that everyone's face was filled with resentment, clearly hating his previous words and actions that insulted the motherland.

"Apologize! Apologize to this land!"

"I apologize to the people here!"

"Apologize to this great country!"

The angry shouts rose higher and higher, making Yang Qiaozhi's heart clench and his legs go weak. He subconsciously took several steps back.

Mary, holding her son's hand, looked at everyone with a panicked expression.

Liang Zhe issued his final warning, his icy voice emphasizing each word, "Your entire family, now, apologize!"

Under such intimidation, Yang Qiaozhi's original arrogance was shattered, and he had no choice but to bow deeply to the crowd.

"sorry."

This time, faced with overwhelming public resentment, he lowered his proud head.

Behind him, Mary and Henry had no choice but to bow forward as well.

"I'm sorry, we were wrong."

There was a three-second silence.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause and cheers erupted!

This applause is for Liang Zhe, for the brave Tian Tian, ​​and for everyone who safeguards the dignity of our motherland!

The applause felt worse to George Yang and his family than a slap in the face; they were so ashamed they wanted to disappear into the ground.

Manager Huang opened the door, and the housekeeping manager stepped forward. "Please pack your luggage immediately and leave within the specified time!"

George Yang dared not utter another word. He quickly pulled Mary up, dragged Henry along, and slunk off towards the stairwell.

The applause from downstairs grew even louder!

Everyone regards Liang Zhe as a hero. A hero is not only someone who fights for the people on the battlefield, but also someone who stands up for his compatriots and restores their dignity in peacetime!

Even Tian Tian received unanimous praise and heartfelt compliments. Various snacks and gifts were stuffed into her hands, but the little girl waved her hands and said in her childish voice, "No, no, thank you uncles and aunties."

In less than ten minutes, the Yang family had been chased out like stray dogs, the mocking laughter and contempt along the way stinging them like thorns in their backs.

"George, what do we do?"

As Mary stepped out of the guesthouse, she looked at the disheveled family of three and could no longer hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes.

"Dad, I'm hungry..." Henry kept repeating. He had been spoiled by his parents, was selfish and stupid, and was completely oblivious to the situation at hand.

"Shut the hell up!" Yang Qiaozhi cursed angrily. Only then did he realize that what he had blurted out was his most familiar mother tongue, not the English he had always been proud of.

"To the Westin Hall! Find Mr. Enlip!" he roared, casting a vicious glance towards the guesthouse. "I'm going to report what those bastards did to him and make him raise the contract amount!"

If Enlip wanted, he could write an astronomical figure on the contract and threaten the Great Xia people.

If they dare not agree, he will incite the U.S. Department of Defense to teach the country a lesson with force, and even raise tariffs and impose heavier sanctions. He doesn't believe he can't deal with them!

"But how are we going to get there?" Mary said in distress. West Wah Hall was quite a distance away, and all three of them were carrying suitcases. There wasn't even a car available, so the only way to get to West Wah Hall was to walk.

Mary looked at her high heels with a pained expression.

"You still have to walk. Do you expect someone to carry you?" George Yang snorted irritably.

His wife is so useless; she only drags him down!

No matter what, he must avenge this grudge.

As the family of three walked toward the West China Hall, the conversation between Anlip and Professor Qian gradually intensified from its initial peaceful and tentative tone.

"Money, I don't understand. Why do you insist on returning to this agricultural superpower? What can you possibly do with it?"

He had asked Professor Qian this question countless times before.

In his eyes, the Great Xia was nothing more than a weak giant barely clinging to life amidst the ruins of war, lacking even a few decent factories, let alone scientific research.

They were extremely poor, had no resources, were impoverished and backward, and even basic necessities like food and clothing were a problem.

Under such conditions, how can we even talk about developing national defense and manufacturing missiles?

"I know that with your abilities, you will definitely be highly valued by the people of Great Xia, and they will let you take the lead in scientific research. But look at the current conditions. How can they compare to the mature laboratories in the United States? This is a waste of your talent!"

"Listen to me, it's about money. If you're willing to come back to the UK with me, I'll apply for the highest amount of research funding for you, and equip you with the best laboratories and the most outstanding research teams."

"Your personal achievements will reach unprecedented heights, you will forever be among the world's top scientists, and your name will be etched in history, remembered for generations to come!"

"That's the honor you deserve!"

"As your teacher and your friend, I sincerely invite you, Qian, to forget all the unpleasantness of the past and come back to the United States with me. Science has no borders—you're the one who told me that yourself."

Enlip's words, sincere and earnest, combined kindness and firmness, perfectly revealed the "earnest expectations" of a world-renowned scientific figure for his former disciple.

He always believed that Professor Qian resolutely left the United Kingdom because he was subjected to unjust persecution, exclusion, and unjustified surveillance by the British government at the time.

For a proud and talented young man like Qian, the fact that he made such a huge contribution to the British military and government, only to be humiliated for no reason, was something he could not accept.

That's why Professor Qian returned to Daxia without hesitation.

Before his visit, Professor Enlip went to the Red House in the United Kingdom and personally submitted a report to the President of the United Kingdom, hoping to recruit the talented Qian back into his fold with the permission of the United Kingdom government.

The Eagle Nation government naturally agreed. In their view, if such outstanding talents could not be used for their own purposes, they should be eliminated rather than handed over to the rising Great Xia.

Of course, for a world-renowned scientist like Qian, assassination is risky and could easily provoke condemnation and protests from scientists around the world, so the United States is not planning to take this step for the time being.
