Chapter 289 Sir, they want to see you
"The god of war has appeared?"
When those four words came out of the secretary's mouth.
Li Zhenguo felt like his scalp was about to explode!
He suddenly stood up from his chair and snatched the intelligence documents from the secretary's hand.
The keywords highlighted in red on the document were like red-hot branding irons, fiercely searing his eyeballs.
"They're insane... these Americans, they're all insane!"
Li Zhenguo felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
In an instant, he understood the entire scheme of the Americans!
They're desperate and ready to flip the table!
They want to reveal to the public the ultimate secret about the existence of "gods," a secret that could overturn the world!
They want to use the world's public opinion and sentiment as hostages!
They want to force Mr. Lin, who has been hiding behind the scenes, to step into the limelight!
This is simply outrageous!
Aren't they afraid of angering the Master and bringing annihilation upon the entire world?!
"No! Absolutely not, we can't let them do that!"
Li Zhenguo paced anxiously back and forth in his office.
He knew Mr. Lin's temper better than anyone else.
The gentleman prefers quiet to activity.
He only wanted to quietly be a behind-the-scenes player.
If the Americans really do force him into the spotlight, exposing him to the world's scrutiny.
No one can predict what terrifying things the gentleman might do in a fit of anger!
At that point, let alone the United States.
I'm afraid the entire planet will suffer as a result!
"We must find a way to contact the gentleman!"
"This matter must be reported to you, sir, before the President of the United States speaks! Please make your decision!"
In an instant, Li Zhenguo made a decision.
He immediately picked up the two highest-level, red-encrypted phones on the table.
One of them leads to the "Divine Chef's Palace" in the capital.
The other one leads to Kunlun Mountain and the Taoist temple.
These are currently his only two channels of communication that allow him to indirectly contact Mr. Lin.
He first dialed He Yuzhu's number.
……
Inside the Divine Kitchen Hall.
He Yuzhu just dismissed that obsequious diplomat who tried to represent the US government in discussing "cooperation" with him.
He was preparing to close the door and shut down.
Under the counter, the special red telephone suddenly rang.
He Yu-zhu glanced at the caller ID and recognized it as Li Zhenguo.
He answered the phone.
"Mr. He! It's urgent!"
On the other end of the phone came Li Zhenguo's hurried, distorted voice.
He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow.
What could possibly make Li Zhenguo, this great man who would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, so anxious?
It seems it really is true; something big has happened.
"Speak," He Yuzhu said succinctly.
Li Zhenguo dared not delay for the slightest and immediately, at top speed, revealed the Americans' insane plan.
"...They want to broadcast this globally! Mr. Bi, show yourself!"
"That's the situation! Mr. He, time is running out! The President of the United States is about to begin his speech in less than half an hour!"
"This junior humbly begs you to immediately report this matter to the master! Please, master, issue your decree!"
Li Zhenguo's voice was filled with pleading and fear.
He Yuzhu listened in silence.
He, though just a cook, knew nothing about international politics.
But he also understood the seriousness of the matter.
Americans, they're courting death!
Moreover, it's about dragging the whole world down with them, courting disaster!
"I see."
He Yuzhu said in a deep voice, "I will inform you immediately, sir."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He went to the back of the shop and closed the door.
Then, take a deep breath, hold your breath, and in your heart, with the most respectful tone, begin to invoke.
"Sir, your disciple He Yuzhu has an urgent matter to report..."
……
Meanwhile, in the quiet chamber of a Taoist temple on Kunlun Mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng, too, received an urgent call from Li Zhenguo.
After he finished listening to Li Zhenguo's account...
Even though he had lived for hundreds of years and had seen countless storms, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"Amitabha Buddha..."
"These barbarians from the West, they really don't know what's good for them..."
He hung up the phone, and the serene, otherworldly air on his face had vanished.
Instead, there was an unprecedented solemnity.
He understood Lin Fan's terror better than Li Zhenguo did.
It also makes it clearer what the consequences will be if one angers this being.
He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately stood up and bowed in the direction of the courtyard house in the east.
Then, he transformed his divine thoughts into an invisible message and respectfully transmitted it.
"Sir, I am Zhang Sanfeng, a man from the mountains and fields, paying my respects."
"In this mortal world, there are villains who plot to spy on the emperor's face and disturb your peace."
"This matter concerns the well-being of all people. Please, sir, give your guidance."
……
Beijing, Command Center No. 1.
Li Zhenguo put down the two phones in his hands, but his heart sank even higher.
He has done everything he could.
From now on, all we can do is leave it to fate.
No.
Yes, it is the master's command.
He raised his head and stared intently at the huge electronic clock on the wall.
The second hand on the clock, with each tick, felt like a heavy hammer, striking his heart.
Time passed, second by second.
There are less than five minutes left until the US President's global address.
However, the Master's "decree" was delayed and never arrived.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Li Zhenguo's forehead.
Sir, what exactly do you mean?
Yes, tacitly condoning the actions of the Americans?
Or are we preparing to unleash a thunderous rage, rebooting the entire Earth?
He dared not think about it.
I dare not guess.
His secretary and all the staff in the command center also felt the suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to even exhale.
The entire command center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
at last.
On the big screen, the countdown numbers reached zero.
The scene shifts.
The President of the United States appeared before billions of people around the world.
Behind him was the backdrop of the Oval Office and two American flags.
His face wore a solemn and dignified expression.
He cleared his throat and slowly began to speak to the camera.
"My fellow countrymen, and all the people of the world, all who love peace..."
"Today, I will announce to you something that will completely change the destiny of each and every one of us..."
Li Zhenguo closed his eyes.
He knew that it was all too late.
Over there, the Pandora's box called "Madness" has been opened by the Americans themselves.
