All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Bai Jiaxuan, too lazy to continue holding the two old men, let go of them, picked up the tall microphone, and shouted to the crowd in a passionate tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our harmonious family. Everything is safe now. Please stand up and enjoy your meal!"

I'm sure everyone will have a wonderful time ahead. Well, we've been through so much together, and now we finally have some time. I'm sure you all want to get to know me, so let me introduce myself!

At this point, Bai Jiaxuan paused for a moment, still hesitant about whether to use Chen Zhen's identity again.

However, after a moment's hesitation, Bai Jiaxuan made a decision. Since he had already mythologized Chen Zhen, why not use him one more time? He estimated that after this, the identity of Chen Zhen would be completely unusable.

Although Bai Jiaxuan asked the guests to stand up, no one dared to stand up. However, after hearing Bai Jiaxuan's self-introduction, many people still raised their heads and looked towards the stage!

Bai Jiaxuan looked relaxed and spoke in a very easy tone.

"I was actually quite well-known in Shanghai, but it's been so long that most of you have forgotten me!"

As soon as Bai Jiaxuan said this, many people in the audience looked up at him, as his words aroused everyone's curiosity.

Some bigwigs who have lived in Shanghai for two or three decades saw Bai Jiaxuan's face and felt vaguely familiar, but because so much time had passed, no one could remember who Bai Jiaxuan on stage was for the time being.

Besides the fact that it's from a long time ago, Bai Jiaxuan didn't have much of a beard back then, but now he has a full beard.

However, Boss Huang in the crowd clearly recognized Bai Jiaxuan; he was an old acquaintance of Bai Jiaxuan. At this moment, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, not even looking at Bai Jiaxuan on the stage.

As a well-known tycoon in Shanghai, he knew very well who the people squatting on the ground in the banquet hall were. If all of them were killed, Shanghai would probably regress by twenty years.

The sensation caused by this group's collective kidnapping is probably even greater than the impact of the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. Tonight, countless bigwigs around the world will be unable to sleep.

He finally understood. This time, Chen had really stirred up a storm. Every time this guy appeared, he caused a huge uproar. It seemed that twenty-five years ago, what the other party did was just a small-scale disturbance. Now, this was truly shocking!

At this point, anyone who gets involved with Chen Zhen is doomed. If he were to try to make friends with him now, he probably wouldn't survive past the next day!

He wanted to live a few more days. At this moment, he wished that Bai Jiaxuan on the stage would not recognize him and that he could just squat there until the end of time!

Bai Jiaxuan smiled, and seeing that everyone's attention had finally turned to him, he continued speaking.

"My surname is Chen, and my full name is Chen Zhen! Does anyone here recognize me?"

As soon as Bai Jiaxuan finished speaking, several people below exclaimed in surprise.

"Chen... Zhen?? You're Chen Zhen!!"

The banquet hall erupted in a commotion. The shouts and commotion reminded everyone that Chen Zhen was the real person!

Chapter 62: We have three requests!

Bai Jiaxuan had just spoken in Chinese, which some Westerners couldn't understand. However, they soon learned the name Chen Zhen from their Chinese-speaking friends.

Upon hearing the name Chen Zhen, the Westerners' expressions changed drastically. The name Chen Zhen was not unfamiliar to them.

More than 20 years ago, Chen Zhen challenged one hundred Western martial arts masters by himself. That duel shattered the pride of the Westerners and made Chinese Kung Fu famous all over the world for the first time.

Chen Zhen's influence also made Westerners deeply fearful of Chinese martial arts for the first time!

Countless Westerners went bankrupt because of that duel, and Chen Zhen's name appeared in the world's news media for the first time.

Countless Western martial arts masters from all over the world came to Shanghai after seeing the news reports, hoping to find Chen Zhen and challenge him to a duel! However, Chen Zhen fell into the Huangpu River after being shot, and that legendary name faded with time and eventually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd stood up and shouted towards the stage.

"Impossible! Chen Zhen is dead! He was killed by the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire! You are an imposter! You cannot be Chen Zhen!"

As soon as the voice was uttered, everyone's eyes were drawn to that person.

It was a man wearing a kimono, who was now agitated and his face was full of anger.

Bai Jiaxuan knew why this little Japanese was so angry.

Twenty-five years ago, I pretended to be shot and fell into the Huangpu River. I even designed a scene for that incident, and Zhang Xiaopeng arranged for the two of us to wear kimonos and deliberately be discovered.

Many people witnessed the scene of the man in a kimono holding a long spear.

Afterwards, the Japanese were met with widespread condemnation and protests in Shanghai, and many Chinese even vandalized their shops. The Japanese issued a statement explaining the situation at the time, but it had virtually no effect.

During the year or two that Chen Zhen disappeared, almost everyone in the world believed that Chen Zhen had been shot and killed by the Japanese using despicable means! As time went by, people had almost forgotten about it, and even the Japanese gradually accepted it.

Later, the Japanese rose to power, and many of them even boasted about killing Chen Zhen as a source of pride.

Think about it, Chen Zhen could fight a hundred men single-handedly and take down a hundred Westerners, yet he couldn't withstand a single bullet from a warrior of our little Japanese Empire. What does this show?

This proves that our little Japanese Empire is invincible! Long live the little Japanese Empire! Long live the hero who shot Chen Zhen!

Because of this tacit propaganda, the Japanese had long believed that Chen Zhen had been shot dead by their warriors.

But Bai Jiaxuan on stage suddenly announced that he was Chen Zhen, which made Xiao Wazi angry and deeply shocked by being deceived!

They only believed that the man in front of them had deceived them, but they didn't believe that the legendary story of the warrior was false!

Bai Jiaxuan coldly watched the angry little Japanese man, and only spoke coldly after the man had finished speaking.

"You little Japanese devils, you think you're worthy to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, the young Japanese man in the audience was speechless, his face flushed red, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Bai Jiaxuan ignored the clown, picked up the microphone, and continued speaking to the crowd.

"Alright, I, Chen Zhen, will not change my name or surname! I have a real connection with those Japanese devils. Back then, I orchestrated the bombing of the Japanese army headquarters, and I also broke into your intelligence building at night, killing indiscriminately. Those were all my doing. More than twenty years ago, I killed hundreds of your Japanese devils. Now I've kidnapped your prince and general, which only proves that we have a real connection!"

Bai Jiaxuan's words caused a change in the eyes of the guests below. No one expected that more than 20 years ago, the person in front of them was already a god of death!

The group of young Japanese men in kimonos were so angry that their faces turned red. Several of the older young men were trembling all over, finally remembering the fear of being dominated in the past.

The person in front of me is a ruthless devil!

Bai Jiaxuan sneered at the reactions of the crowd below the stage. Since he had decided to play a big game, what was wrong with admitting everything?

The outside was already bustling with noise, and countless lights illuminated the entire hotel.

Because of the previous reinforcement and renovations at the small Japanese house, as well as the fact that the entrances and exits were blocked and all the windows were covered, people outside had almost no idea what was happening inside.

But even if you don't know, you can guess what happened inside.

A group of heavily armed militants launched an attack during the Japanese celebration banquet.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the other party should have successfully taken control of the entire Far East Hotel.

As for the guests inside, their fate is currently unknown!

Everyone knew the identities of the guests inside; any one of them was a prominent figure in Shanghai, not to mention the Japanese princes and army generals!

The kidnapping incident has only lasted for less than half an hour, but the entire Shanghai seems to have been awakened by it.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

At this moment, countless forces began to flock to this place, and reporters and media from all walks of life, having heard the news, also rushed over.

At this moment, alarms blared through the sky at the Japanese army, navy, and air force base, and countless soldiers began to be issued weapons and board various vehicles, rushing towards the Far East Hotel!

The absurd fact that their own country's prince and army general had been kidnapped right under their noses was shocking!

Such an event is a disgrace to the Japanese soldiers who are currently winning victory after victory on various battlefields. Countless Japanese soldiers have bloodshot eyes and roar in unison, wishing they could tear those bastards who dared to offend their prince to pieces!

The sensation caused by this incident exceeded everyone's expectations; almost all the ambassadors from various countries stationed in Shanghai were captured at today's banquet.

Those who can attend this banquet are all important figures. At this moment, the phones of consulates of various countries are almost ringing off the hook. All staff members are in a state of unprecedented tension, and the fax machines are beeping incessantly, sending messages in all directions.

Telegrams were sent throughout the land of China and to every corner of the world!

I estimate that this news will be the headline across China, and even the world, tomorrow morning!

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the banquet hall was much quieter at this moment!

After Bai Jiaxuan finished his speech, seeing that the audience wasn't in the mood to listen to his rambling anymore, he simply stopped talking, casually moved a sofa over to the stage, crossed his legs, and quietly watched the guests below.

At this moment, all the guests in the banquet hall were trembling and dared not move, and there were also women sobbing softly.

The shadow members who entered the banquet hall quickly took control of the area. Heiwa, leading several members, swiftly reached the stage, excitedly showing off the machine gun in his hand to Bai Jiaxuan. Bai Jiaxuan rolled his eyes at him.

Heiwa then realized that Bai Xiaowu was missing and immediately asked curiously...

"Master, where is Xiaowu?"

Bai Jiaxuan then remembered the kid and glanced down at the crowd. He saw the guy squatting on the ground, looking around in bewilderment.

Bai Jiaxuan cursed his bad luck inwardly. He was speechless at having such a thing born.

Bai Xiaowu, who was in the crowd, saw Bai Jiaxuan on the stage looking at him. Their eyes met, and he immediately stood up, feeling embarrassed.

Seeing this, several guests around him subconsciously moved away. Bai Xiaowu smiled awkwardly and quickly ran to the stage. Looking at Heiwa, who was covered in bullets and holding a heavy machine gun, looking very imposing, he couldn't help but show an envious expression.

Heiwa grinned and handed him the machine gun. Bai Xiaowu glanced at Bai Jiaxuan before carefully taking it. The heavy gun made him feel a little sluggish, and he quickly lifted it up.

The two stood on the stage, discussed the machine gun for a while, and laughed like two idiots.

Bai Jiaxuan glared at the two clowns with annoyance. Suddenly, several gunshots rang out from upstairs, but they quickly stopped. Bai Jiaxuan glanced up, but then paid no further attention.

At this moment, apart from about twenty people controlling the scene in the banquet hall, the remaining members of the forty-odd shadow members all rushed upstairs and towards the kitchen.

In addition to these hundreds of guests, the hotel also has a large number of service staff. Bai Jiaxuan did not intend to make things difficult for them. After a simple verification of their identities, most of the staff would be released.

The army outside could storm in at any moment, so we must race against time to take control of this hotel.

However, he wasn't worried. He couldn't see what was happening inside the hotel from the outside. As long as he controlled the group below, they wouldn't dare to launch an attack rashly.

Perhaps the people outside are now more worried that Bai Jiaxuan and his group will resort to desperate measures and start a massacre.

So Bai Jiaxuan wasn't in a hurry at all. He crossed his legs and waited for the people in the shadows to clear out everyone above the second floor before leaving the two old men behind him. Bai Jiaxuan ignored them and let them retreat off the stage on their own.

The two old men remained silent, their faces grim as they squatted in the crowd, surrounded by a group of young Japanese men in kimonos.

At this moment, every Japanese soldier stared at Bai Jiaxuan on the stage with hatred in their eyes. This look made Bai Jiaxuan yawn!

I have to say, it's actually quite satisfying to have that look in your eyes that you're staring at but can't do anything about!

At this moment, the outside was surrounded by layers of troops, including not only the Japanese army but also a large number of military personnel from various Western countries. The officers, with grim faces, gathered together to discuss their next move!

Just as Bai Jiaxuan had guessed, no one dared to launch an attack inside. They were well aware of the identities of the hundreds of hostages inside and what they represented.

As the crowd grew larger, the surrounding noise and commotion created a mysterious atmosphere.

Finally, Bai Jiaxuan yawned again inside the hotel. Just as he stood up, a member of the Shadow faction ran up to him and whispered in his ear.

"Sir, the upstairs area has been cleared. The remaining 132 people, including the waiters and chefs, are all under control in the warehouse. What would you like to do with them?"

Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Leave ten waiters and chefs here too. Open the front door and let the rest of the staff out later!" The man agreed and quickly ran off to make the arrangements.
