329 How About I Stay Here?
Both sides calmed down before Uncle Wang sent the contact information of the mercenary leader.
The call ended.
“I’m going to sleep.”
Wang Yongzhi returned the phone to his daughter. Xiaoman ran back to the bedroom, closed the door, and yawned. She could not hide the tiredness in her tone. After knowing that Kang Jinzhu had been saved, her tense nerves completely relaxed.
!!
She said, “Remember to call me—don’t put me on speaker.”
“Yes, go to sleep.”
After hanging up, Kang De turned around and his father smiled at him.
He rolled his eyes and said, “What are you laughing at?”
Father Kang’s smile was meaningful, “Hurry up and seize the opportunity. How long do you want to do this?”
Kang De turned around and muttered, “It’s none of your business.”
“How is it none of my business? It’s rare to have a girl who knows her background and has a good personality and appearance. Tell me, other than her, who else do you know?”
“Shut up. You’re talkative. Is this the time to talk about such a thing?”
—D*mn, you’ve underestimated me. I’ll take a few photos when I return to the other world another day and scare you to death.
Kang De added the mercenary leader’s WeChat.
The communication between the two sides was simple and capable.
After all, they were not familiar with each other and were even in a chaotic place like Comoros. Not long ago, they had experienced an exciting and explosive pursuit. To the mercenary leader, vigilance was greater than curiosity.
Kang De was even more so.
His father was still in the car. It was not the time to let himself go. He did not want to bring his father around. That was too dangerous. It was better to send him to an absolutely safe place as soon as possible.
“What do you plan to do with the two Western reporters who took your video?”
Seeing that his son had avoided the previous topic, Kang Jinzhu became serious.
The matter of being filmed was neither big nor small.
He said seriously, “If you pursue this matter carefully, it’s not a small matter, because the fact that you saved me is not an independent individual, but will be related to many things. If you save me and send the others back to the embassy, the embassy will report to the country. If you ask me after this, what should I say?”
At this point, a worried expression flashed across his father’s face, “This war is a secret scheme of the French government. After reporting it, it must be a game at the P5 level. It’s fine if we don’t investigate many things deeply, but if the country wants to investigate deeply, many things can’t stand scrutiny…”
Kang De did not mind.
He casually said, “I’ll get those brothers to confiscate and destroy their equipment and compensate them with 100,000 to 200,000 yuan later. I think it’s about time. You don’t have to worry too much. This matter is actually only so-so. The country will know when it finds out. The bridge will naturally be straight when it reaches the bow.”
He looked at the video carefully and recalled the previous pursuit. From the beginning to the end, although the combat strength he displayed was super handsome and unbelievable, it was still within the understanding of humans.
Drifting to dodge RPGs, jumping to shoot… These were things that humans could do in theory. It was rare, but it was far from shocking. Although the country would be surprised, there were levels of surprise.
For example, when the relevant people of the country saw the explosive scene of Kang De’s flying car chase, their surprise was only at the level of “Oh my, f*ck, this is a little fierce. Where did this ferocious person come from?”
However, if Kang De used the Flying Thunder God Technique in the white fog space in that battle and displayed the ability to release spells, transform the Autobot, and even slash out with his battle aura to send an armored vehicle flying, the surprise of the relevant departments would immediately change to “F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, what the f*ck is this?”
The former was simply worlds apart from the latter, and the actions and responses of the country were different.
Therefore, don’t panic.
Father Kang was clearly not as comfortable as him. His father knew the principle of making a fortune in silence even better, “No, I don’t trust the foreigners, and I don’t trust the mercenaries. Let’s go find them now and personally check. Then, we’ll talk to those two Western reporters and come up with a plan. We still have to discuss it with your Uncle Wang and strive to come up with a happy idea.”
Kang De shook his head and said, “There’s no need. I’ll send you to a safe place first.”
It was actually not a bad thing to let the country know some clues…
Djibouti had China’s overseas safeguard base. Of course, the People’s Liberation Army inside would protect its nationals, but if he wanted the leading officers in the base to protect Father Kang with the highest standard, Kang De needed to do something… or show something.
Although he was not prepared in that aspect, this could not be helped.
This unforeseen event involved a colossus at the level of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. For the things in the mausoleum, they could start a war to destroy a country. What was the point of killing and destroying a person?
Father Kang pondered for a moment and his expression changed. “You want to hand yourself over to the country in exchange for protection?”
Kang De shook his head and said, “It’s not that tragic. It’s just an appropriate and careful contact and some consensus.”
“No, this is too rushed. You have to think about it.”
Kang Jinzhu considered the problem even more carefully and fully, “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t serve the country… Although as a father, I hope you can live calmly, fulfillingly, and beautifully, if you want to do something for this country, I won’t stop you. However, I don’t want you to make this decision hurriedly because of us. This matter is too important. You have to think carefully, son.”
Kang De said indifferently, “It’s fine.”
“There’s something!”
Kang Jinzhu grabbed his son’s shoulder and said seriously, “Listen to me, it doesn’t have to come to this. There’s still another way—don’t be impatient! Although I don’t have your ability, I’ve eaten more than 20 years of salt than you! Don’t treat me as a burden! I’m your father!”
The father and son looked at each other. A moment later, Kang De relaxed. “What way?”
Kang Jinzhu heaved a sigh of relief. “Let’s meet up with those mercenaries now. We have to see what those reporters took and ask and check them in detail!”
Kang De pondered for a moment and shook his head, but he still asked for the location on WeChat and obtained the location.
He waved the phone in front of the car’s dashboard. The Hummer turned and drove in the other direction.
Kang De asked, “So, what’s your plan?”
“The combat strength you displayed on the street earlier is still considered normal. After all, no one saw you break through the two floors of the ceiling and throw a living person against the wall, almost collapsing a wall… In other words, even if the video is leaked, you’re still a normal person.”
Kang Jinzhu said calmly, “Coincidentally, the mercenaries hired by your Uncle Wang are still here and have participated in the battle. Your Uncle Wang is a veteran and has an official background. Not only the country, but external forces can also investigate this. Why don’t you use this to muddy the waters…”
Kang De listened carefully and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Little Bob has something on his mind, and so does France! They’re doing something shameful, so they’re feeling guilty. To them, what they’re most afraid of is that the conspiracy will be discovered. The other four permanent members will send people in to smash their place and mess up their situation!”
The more Kang Jinzhu spoke, the more he felt that there was a chance, “Therefore, they won’t believe that a young man can cross more than half of the world from China to Comoros just to save his father. Moreover, he’s unstoppable and easily beats up the experienced elite mercenaries. Logically speaking, this is almost impossible to complete this magnificent feat alone…”
...
“Therefore, they will be puzzled and uneasy and find an explanation for this ridiculous fact.”
“Then let’s give them an explanation that makes them more afraid and convinced the more they think about it!”
“This explanation is very simple because the Chinese threat theory has already been engraved in the bones of these Westerners! Then let’s make them believe that you have the support of the Republic behind you!”
“As for the country, we’ll try our best to minimize your role in this matter and try our best to make the national authorities believe that you did this with the help and support of those mercenaries. In short, we have to minimize your personal extraordinary strength. This is the most difficult, but it’s not impossible!”
Kang Jinzhu pinched the space between his eyebrows. “We have to first make sure that that video doesn’t leak. We can even use those videos… Firstly, we have to see those two reporters…”
He opened his bloodshot eyes and muttered to himself.
Kang De sighed silently. He felt that it might be very difficult to implement his father’s plan.
The things he had done to save his father were far more ridiculous and exaggerated than his father thought.
However…
He shook his head and said, “You should sleep for a while. There’s actually no hurry.”
Kang Jinzhu returned to his senses from his thoughts and glanced at him. He said indifferently, “It’s fine. Compared to resting, I want my son to know that he can’t take his father lightly just because he has some superpower!”
...
Kang De was stunned, then smiled.
Kang Jinzhu said angrily, “What are you laughing at?! I’m your father. If you don’t tell me, discuss with me, or ask me for help, what’s the point?”
How should he put it?
Hearing his father say this,
although he did not know how to ask his father about the war in the other world, Goethe, who was in urgent need of help, and the conspiracy of the French government to obtain… oh no, the various powerful weapons he had borrowed, he felt that his father might not be able to help much.
However, when he heard his father say this, he was still very happy.
As he pretended to drive, he pursed his lips and smiled, “I can ask you for help if there’s anything?”
Kang Jinzhu said, “Of course it’s reasonable! I can do it! I can help you find a girlfriend or something. I can’t help! It’s useless even if you gather the seven dragon balls!”
As usual, father and son mocked each other.
However, this time, Kang De did not fight back.
“To be honest…”
He looked ahead. The car was bumpy. The territory of Comoros was still endlessly desolate. He had never seen any decent town settlements along the way, either far or close.
This was Africa, a land of little hope. Desolate, backward, and filled with wounds.
It was the most unsuitable place for humans to live but for many people.
It was filled with war, plague, death, and hunger.
However, to Kang De, this lawless, chaotic, unrestrained, war-ridden, and unscrupulous place might be very suitable for him to do something inconvenient in the country.
He did not turn around and still looked ahead as he spoke jokingly.
“What do you think about me staying here?”
“Buy a piece of land and set up a company to sell some gold, jewelry, medicine, or other things. Buy some things for self-defense, expand my influence, do more things, buy more land, build this place, develop this place, and expand this place… If I want to do this, can you help?”
Kang Jingzhu was first surprised, then horrified.
However, he looked at his son. There was no ambition or desire to control on that familiar face. Although that gaze was a little unfamiliar, it was still clear and was not lost in blood and power.
He asked, “Why do you have such thoughts? This is really not a suitable place to live. You’ll be very unaccustomed to it. Not only that, you’re not going home? What about Xiaoman and your mother?”
Kang De said, “There’s a way. I…”
Before he could finish speaking, the Hummer suddenly braked. Kang De was first stunned, but then his expression immediately changed.
Kang Jingzhu was almost shaken. “What’s wrong?”
Killing intent and coldness appeared in Kang De’s eyes again.
“I heard gunshots.”
