How terrifying! How astonishing!
They couldn't find any excuse to frame anyone.
The bloody incident did not end there. Xu Zhengyang's well-thought-out arrangement excited Li Haidong, Su Peng, Wang Yonggan, and Chen Chaojiang. "Great! Since the adults have thought of everything so thoroughly, let's just suggest that we wipe out all those guys who are essentially terrorists hiding in neighboring countries!"
Xu Zhengyang said nonchalantly, "You guys handle it, but don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I'm not involved in this matter anymore..."
What does that mean? It means issuing a massacre order!
Within the three neighboring countries, separatists lurking there, unknown even to the governments of those countries, suffered a devastating and bizarre attack, a massacre!
If it weren't for this series of events, why would that old hag's relatives, who weren't involved in the crime, be so terrified that they rushed to stand up, even though they were innocent, and tried to gain merit by exposing how bad and despicable the old hag was...
Of course, they are right to do so.
Leaders at all levels of the relevant departments were very satisfied, and Xu Zhengyang was also very satisfied.
Li Bingjie could, of course, guess that her husband was behind all of this, and so one day she advised him with a touch of pity, "Zhengyang, isn't this killing a bit too cruel? It might arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction from many countries..."
Xu Zhengyang's response was: "Actually, if it weren't for my compassion and concern for the greater chaos that would lead to more deaths, I would rather... get rid of those beastly and hypocritical national leaders."
These words startled Li Bingjie.
Xu Zhengyang, feeling sorry for her, comforted her gently, afraid that it might upset the baby.
...
Dongjing City, the capital of Japan.
Guliya was personally received by high-ranking Japanese leaders, who highly praised her actions and commended her for her enormous contributions to freedom and peace.
Gurielya is absolutely gorgeous.
At the subsequent press conference, Japanese security personnel conducted a thorough screening of journalists from various media outlets, fearing any unexpected incidents.
Gurielia, who looked like a witch from a comic book, was beaming with joy, feeling like a superhero who had saved the world as she made her dazzling entrance.
Wang Yonggan stood beside her, itching to immediately lash her face with the Soul-Slaying Ruler, yet worried that the bruises would only enhance the old hag's already ugly face. Therefore, he sought the opinion of Judge Li Haidong: when should we begin? I can't wait to make my point.
Li Haidong coldly rebuked, "No rush, let her say a few more words. Also, you must not act rashly. The Prefectural God has ordered that I personally handle this matter!"
Wang Yonggan dared not say anything aloud, but inwardly he thought, "You old bastard, are you thinking of... you old hag? Pah! My thoughts are so impure..."
Li Haidong slapped Wang Yonggan across the face and yelled, "You're the one who wants to do *that* to her! Your whole family wants to do *that* to her..."
"Wang Yonggan, how dare you!" Su Peng shouted angrily, but a smile he couldn't help but chuckle was on his face.
Well, I've been influenced by that Wang Yonggan guy.
Oh, no, no...
I admit, I was too evil.
The press conference has begun...
Facing the long guns and cannons, Guliya's old face was twisted into a dung heap with a gleeful grin.
Volume Six, Chapter 328: You are like that fire
The afternoon sun was exceptionally strong. The dappled sunlight filtering through the dense foliage and falling on the stone steps was almost blinding.
Wearing a white shirt and black trousers, Xu Zhengyang stood on the rocky path behind the villa, calmly smoking. He faced east, seemingly able to see thousands of miles away through the dense forest and heavy rocks, as if unrestricted by space.
The whole world will be in an uproar this afternoon, won't it?
His divine sense didn't contact Li Haidong, nor did he directly command them or give specific instructions on what to do or say. Li Haidong was far more capable than him in handling such matters. Xu Zhengyang could only set the framework; the details were left to them to implement.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang was already considering how much impact this matter would have.
What other unpredictable results might occur?
After finishing their tasks, all the ghost messengers returned to their original posts and continued to diligently carry out the tasks assigned by their superiors within the jurisdiction of their respective City God Temples...
...
In Beijing, staff and leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Information Office were in a tense atmosphere, discussing and arranging how to handle various possible situations, including how to respond to questions from media reporters and what views, opinions, and attitudes to convey to the outside world.
This time, Gurirya is facing media from all over the world. Whatever she says will surely cause another uproar.
In the violent incidents more than a month ago, some rioters were indeed killed by inexplicable and extremely bizarre extremist forces while committing atrocities, which had already aroused speculation and doubt from all sides; after the incidents, some separatists who fled abroad had their entire families wiped out, and although the investigation results showed that it was fratricide, this is obviously a major point of suspicion...
As a result, it is inevitable that suspicion will be placed on the government from all sides, wondering if they used secret agents to carry out these terrorist assassination plans.
There have been articles in the news media and newspapers that specifically criticize the government's bloody and violent massacres and repressions.
Of course, these are all minor incidents, like scratching an itch through a boot. If ignored, they will naturally fade away in time. Because no matter how much propaganda is done, it cannot withstand the scrutiny of facts. The eyes of the masses are discerning. No matter how grand your words may be, atrocities are still atrocities, and they are despised by the whole world.
The storm may seem to have subsided, but in the eyes of high-level leaders, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and special departments, this is just a prelude. Soon, someone will take advantage of this incident to stir up trouble and implicate you in various ways.
A single hair can affect the whole body. While that might be an exaggeration, doing this frequently will inevitably have a ripple effect on the entire body.
While flaws do not overshadow merits, if a country's image is constantly smeared with mud and smeared with filth, it will inevitably mislead more and more people, leading to a sense of rejection towards that country.
People like Li Ruiqing, while not necessarily going to specifically discuss how to deal with the matter, would at least inquire about it and pay some attention to it.
To be honest, who among them would really take that old hag too seriously?
She's not qualified.
What they are concerned about is what other countries will do next.
Privately, Li Ruiqing and his group had complained, half-laughing, half-crying, "Xu Zhengyang, since you've committed the crime of wiping out an entire family, why didn't you just behead them? You should understand the saying 'to catch the thief, first catch the king.' Letting her jump around every day is really annoying."
This time, however, Li Ruiqing and his group had to be on high alert. Allowing Guliya to enter their country so openly, and having her personally received by high-ranking leaders—what did this send to the outside world? Once a precedent was set, others would inevitably follow suit… On the surface, it seemed like nothing more than some high-ranking politicians from other countries playing tricks, trying to annoy them.
In fact, this is a veiled expression of support for their actions and their support for splitting your country!
A single spark can start a prairie fire...
What a sinister intention!
...
Dongjing City, the capital of Japan.
The press conference venue, specially arranged for Guliya, was filled with reporters from various countries, their long guns and cannons aimed at the arrogant, shameless, and filthy old hag, ready to fire at any moment.
The flashbulbs went off incessantly, and the noisy scene finally quieted down after the staff gestured and reminded them.
Guliya naturally gave the first speech, a passionate and eloquent outpouring of her fervor for democracy and freedom, for peace for the people, and for world peace, how she had unleashed her boundless inner strength… and how she had suffered persecution and setbacks, and how tragically her followers had endured…
Next up is a Q&A session with reporters.
Of course, there are journalists with ulterior motives who will ask questions to please others, and then engage in a messy, question-and-answer session full of loopholes, yet they are smug about it.
Then, a very famous journalist from a Western country asked: "I would like to ask you, after the initial bloody riots, your response to the public was that you were unaware of it and that it had nothing to do with your organization; but later you said that the incident was entirely due to the bloody massacre and suppression of your people. Please answer me, which of your statements is true?"
"Well, I think you've all seen the reports and photos from various media outlets. We were indeed subjected to a bloody crackdown. We were just peacefully marching and demonstrating..." Guliya changed the subject, clearly already very familiar with the situation.
"Excuse me for interrupting you, but many of the photos I've seen published in newspapers as evidence have clearly been digitally altered, and some of them were even taken a long time ago during a disaster relief effort in that country... I have to remind some of my colleagues that even if you want to create something eye-catching, you should first understand the basic situation. Do you really think that those soldiers in those decades-old uniforms would appear in large numbers in today's social emergency response?"
Two staff members immediately reminded the reporter: "Please keep your questions brief and avoid irrelevant topics."
“Okay, I would like to ask, I have been to the scene in person and have seen the street surveillance footage provided by the local government. Those are all real. Ms. Guliya, as the leader of the organization, you advocate peace and charity. Why would your people commit such brutal acts of violence against some unarmed and innocent people? Why would you set fire to their houses and shops, the places they depend on for their livelihood? Do you think those are government offices?”
Guliya's face darkened, and she waved her hand and shook her head to indicate that she refused to answer.
"Oh, I don't understand what you call protests and demonstrations. I also don't understand why you refuse to answer my questions."
This person expressed regret and disdain with a cold smile.
Two men in plainclothes immediately entered the venue and escorted the reporter away.
There was a brief awkward silence, so a staff member suggested that other reporters could continue asking questions.
"Wait a minute," Guliya suddenly called out, raising her hand.
The two men who had been dragging the reporter away stopped and looked at Guliya in surprise, then at the person in charge in the shadows. The reporter finally broke free from her grip and turned to look at Guliya, who was sitting behind the table on the stage, with a cold smile.
“I can answer your question, and I would also like to share my thoughts with the media.” Guliya said earnestly and sincerely, “Let’s pause the questioning for a moment and allow me to finish speaking…”
The room fell silent.
Guliya coughed twice, then said with a helpless expression, "Actually, I know I'm a shameless person. My heart and thoughts have been corrupted by demons, making me filthy and twisted..."
The entire audience erupted in uproar...
"What I'm trying to say is that everyone has a dream, big or small, but my dream is this: life is not easy, and everyone dies eventually, but I don't want to die like this. I want more people to remember me. Since I can't be remembered in history, then I'll be remembered for my infamy... As for killing so many people, so what? They were innocent, but they had value. The value of their deaths was that they served as stepping stones for the fame I have now... Look, now the whole world knows my name and my deeds. Otherwise, would you come to interview me? This makes me very satisfied..."
“I used to receive support from the government and help from all sides, which made me amass a fortune and gain some fame. But will that satisfy me? No, my ambitions go far beyond that!”
All the reporters present were inwardly cursing. How could there be such a shameless person?
Once the staff member recovered from their shock, they quickly stepped forward and whispered to Guliya, "Are you crazy?"
Guliya pushed away the person who had warned her, stood up, and said, "See? Someone is trying to stop me from continuing, because what I'm about to say is very important. Listen carefully..."
"I incited some idiots to do things for me, to kill and commit arson. Most people couldn't do that, right? But I did!"
"Moreover, it is precisely because of my efforts and inhumane behavior that some government departments of the United States, Japan, and other countries have funded me, assigned special personnel to provide me with financial support, and even provided me with advice and strategies..."
"To divide a country, to bring war into the country, to spread the flames of war, to prevent the country from developing..."
...
Some plainclothes officers and police rushed in to stop Guriya from continuing.
But soon, four men in plainclothes with special department insignia stood on the stage, pointing guns at the people rushing towards them. One of them shouted, "Don't come any closer! Let her continue!"
Reporters from all walks of life seemed to realize something and knew that this would be a major news story that would shake the world and cause a huge uproar!
So they protested, arguing that freedom of speech cannot be stopped!
Some reporters quickly transmitted the video and audio recordings online to prevent potential searches and news blackouts.
For a moment, the staff really didn't know what to do; their familiar colleagues had actually pointed guns at them.
After pausing for a moment, Guliya continued speaking with great enthusiasm.
What followed was even more shocking; she even revealed all the unspeakable things she had discussed privately with some high-ranking national leaders and leaders of special departments.
Conflict broke out inevitably!
Despite being shot twice, the "great" Gurirya, still coughing up blood, stubbornly waved her hand and shouted:
"But they are using me, and I am using them too. Otherwise, how can I let more people know me and remember me? How can the value of my life reach a higher peak?"
"When a person is shameless enough, he is invincible. This is my ideal, my great ideal and goal!"
