The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After the debriefing meeting, everyone went to the designated restaurant for their last lunch of the Washington trip.

During the meal, the newly elected President of the United States, Obama, and Geithner made a surprise visit and had a private chat with the head of the delegation and Vice President Wang in the private room.

Ling Yun participated in the meeting and was the only professional translator in the private room, as well as the most experienced professional in finance.

The meeting lasted for about half an hour before it ended.

When they shook hands to say goodbye at the restaurant entrance, O'Hei made a point of shaking hands with Ling Yun, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness and apprehension.

He then left the hotel with his wife and went to the residences of other delegations.

Geithner stayed behind and waited at the hotel for the current US Vice President and Paulson, among others.

Later, when the Chinese delegation leaves Washington, he, as a representative of the Federal Reserve, will go to the airport to see them off!

As for what the two sides discussed during the meeting, neither side disclosed it, so the outside world has no way of knowing.

After seeing Obama off, everyone left the restaurant and returned to their rooms to pack their belongings.

Ling Yun did the same, quickly packing her luggage.

Around 2:30 p.m., many members of the Chinese delegation left their rooms and went downstairs to leave the five-star hotel.

When everyone arrived at the hotel lobby, the US Vice President and Paulson, among others, were already there, and a simple yet solemn farewell ceremony was held.

In addition to the farewell ceremony, Vice President Wang and Paulson stood together and accepted a joint interview from several major news media outlets.

This included CCTV reporters who accompanied the delegation, financial reporters from TVB in Hong Kong, and international media outlets such as The New York Times.

Throughout the process, Ling Yun continued to diligently fulfill her public role within the delegation.

He translates any content related to the financial field word for word, with such precision that no one can find any fault with it!

Because of his presence, Paulson and his group had long since abandoned the idea of ​​using language barriers to set traps, and behaved relatively well.

After the joint interview ended, two reporters, still unwilling to give up, once again turned their attention to Ling Yun.

He raised two sharp questions in succession, directly pointing to his ability to manipulate the international financial market and his extremely high net worth.

Ling Yun acted as if he hadn't heard them and completely ignored the two scheming media reporters.

The delegation then left the five-star hotel and drove straight to Andrews Air Force Base.

About an hour later, the convoy arrived safely at Andrews Air Force Base.

Then it drove straight onto the tarmac and stopped next to the special plane.

As Ling Yun followed everyone off the convoy, he saw it immediately.

Among the crowd of people seeing him off by the track, his old friend Lauder was prominently featured, his face gloomy, seemingly in a bad mood.

Ling Yun could guess pretty accurately why this guy was in such a bad mood.

He chuckled softly, then walked toward his primary client to continue performing his duties as a full-time translator.

During the farewell ceremony that followed, he and Lloyd met briefly, exchanging only nods but no words.

But in Lauder's eyes, he saw a deep sense of resentment and fear!

Twenty minutes later, the special plane roared away at the end of the runway, soaring into the clouds and flying towards Honduras in Central America!

Once the special plane ascended to the stratosphere, the crew announced through the sound system that everyone could unfasten their seatbelts, as the plane had entered cruise mode.

The next moment, Deputy Director Zhang got up from his seat and walked straight toward Ling Yun.

Upon approaching, he gestured for the beautiful translator sitting next to Ling Yun to go to his seat, saying he had something to discuss with Ling Yun.

The beautiful translator naturally had no objections and immediately got up and walked forward.

After she left, Deputy Director Zhang sat down with a smile.

Then, he smiled and said in a low voice:

"Xiao Ling, the private jet has taken off. It's time to tell you about some of the things that have happened these past two days."

"Okay, Director Zhang, I'd like to know more about that; I'm very curious about it too."

Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Director Zhang immediately got to the point.

"The first thing was that at the end of the morning meeting, the dean of Wharton Business School, who was attending the meeting, suddenly approached the relevant members of the delegation and offered to invite you to give a lecture at Wharton Business School."

According to him, Wharton Business School wanted to discuss with you the trajectory of the financial crisis and some issues related to stock index options betting in the international financial market.

"The person in charge of external relations did not immediately refuse the other party. They only said that I still have work to do and that I must keep it strictly confidential. I cannot contact the outside world privately at the moment, but they will pass on the message to me."

"Whether or not to accept the Wharton Business School's invitation is your own decision, and it also requires approval from your superiors. What do you think of this matter? I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here."

"Wow! The prestigious Wharton School is going to hold a special lecture for me! I'm so flattered!"

Ling Yun feigned surprise and exclaimed in astonishment, but his tone revealed a hint of disdain.

"I think so too. Those bastards are definitely up to no good. If I accept their invitation, I'll be walking right into their trap."

"Once I stay in America and give some bullshit lecture at Wharton, I can forget about leaving; I'll likely be detained in America."

"It would be easy for those bastards to fabricate a baseless charge against me, like manipulating the financial market, they have plenty of charges to their name."

"Once these charges are pinned on me, it's virtually impossible for me to clear my name. This is America, where Wall Street can do whatever it wants."

"Behind this treacherous invitation may very well stand some of my enemies, such as Lloyd. Wharton and Wall Street have always been in cahoots."

"Based on this point, I will never accept any lecture invitations from overseas universities, research institutions, or financial institutions, now or in the future."

"Director Liu's response was absolutely correct. I'll go thank him later, and once I'm back in China, I can formally decline Wharton's invitation."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Very good. It seems you have a very clear mind and know what you can and cannot do, which is very important."

"Since you don't work in academia, you don't need to care about lectures or similar events. The best thing to do is to directly decline these invitations."

"Based on the information we have received so far, Wharton Business School's invitation is quite sudden, and there is likely some conspiracy behind it."

As he spoke, he gently patted Ling Yun's arm, then changed the subject.

"Now, let's talk about the second thing. With the assistance of the Washington police, your ex-girlfriend's parents have been successfully rescued and are currently staying at the embassy."

"Whether they go to Vancouver or return to Shanghai is up to them. According to embassy staff, they want to go to Vancouver."

"More importantly, they were indeed kidnapped and hidden in an apartment near New York Avenue in Washington, D.C., where they suffered a great deal."

"During the rescue operation by Washington police and embassy personnel, two kidnappers were apprehended; both kidnappers were security personnel at Goldman Sachs headquarters..."

He suddenly stopped talking, his face showing a knowing look.

"Hahaha, the fox's tail has been revealed, and we've caught him red-handed. No wonder Lold is acting desperately!"

Ling Yun chuckled, his smile radiant.
