Chapter 457: Chapter 431 National Attention

Upon hearing this news, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly became attentive.

"Huh? Isn’t this the news I saw this morning? How did something happen tonight?"

Linchuan also looked over, and at this time, the report continued in the news, and the footage from that time appeared on the screen.

"According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred because a thief stole the wallet of a member of a foreign martial arts team. The team member, James, then struck and killed the thief. From the video, it can be seen that the kick was so powerful that the victim died instantly," reported the news.

"What kind of person is this?" Lin Xiaoxiao immediately became angry and indignant, "Even if something was stolen, that doesn’t justify killing a person. What kind of person does this?"

Li Chen didn’t speak. He looked at the scene on the TV and immediately judged the force behind James’s strike.

To kick and kill an ordinary person like that was far too normal.

The news anchor then went silent, and James’s words during an interview came on: "Huaxia people are too weak."

The footage of the foreign martial arts team laughing and jeering was broadcast without question, sparking immediate public uproar!

From this point, you could see the anger of the video production staff; they didn’t cut anything!

In Huaxia, if this were any other news, the media would typically start retracting articles and guiding public opinion. For example, the incident of Li Chen wiping out the Li Family only lasted a few days, and public interest passed, and people gradually forgot.

But this time, they didn’t do that. Not a single frame of the video was omitted, giving viewers a crystal-clear view.

So, in an instant, nearly everyone felt a surge of anger.

You piece of shit!

You curse everyone in this country while on its soil, where do you get the courage and power to do that?

At the lowest level, this shows a lack of personal integrity, and at the highest, it reflects arrogance and egotism!

As expected, following the broadcast of this news on TV, the entire nation exploded with outrage!

There was already a frenzy of posts on Weibo, but this TV broadcast made even middle-aged and older people who don’t access the internet aware of this issue.

"Who is this?" an elderly grandmother, confused, asked as she looked at James on the screen, while her son and daughter-in-law hastily explained to her. The grandmother shook her head, "If my old man were still around, he’d have blown him away with one shot."

They lived through the previous era and had seen all kinds of wars. Those who dared to be wild on their land had long been turned into sieves.

"Dad! This guy is too arrogant. I’m going to beat him up!" In a household, an indignant child around seven or eight years old swung his little fists, wishing he could punch James through the television.

Incidents like this were plenty, indicating that people from other parts of Huaxia were also focusing their attention on this matter!

The television news continued.

"Afterward, National Martial Arts Master Guo Chuan couldn’t stand by and intervened, but he was no match for the martial arts team member Xiuman and was knocked to the ground," said the news anchor with a subdued voice, seemingly suppressing anger.

Everyone saw the scene of Guo Chuan squaring off against James and then saw Guo Chuan’s body suddenly stagger before Xiuman knocked him down.

"Damn, this guy is so shameless, Master Guo Chuan is already down, and he’s still attacking?"

"Is there no limit to their shamelessness? It should have been enough to stop when a point was made. Does he want to kill Master Guo Chuan?"

"Damn foreigners! They invaded our Huaxia in the last century and now they are beating our fellow countrymen on our soil."

Meanwhile, Mayor Ren’s personnel stepped in to pull Xiuman away, but during the process, Xiuman viciously kicked Guo Chuan again. After that kick, Guo Chuan passed out.

"Damn it, I’m so angry, I can’t stand to watch this. I really want to go up there and smash that foreigner’s head in, fucking shameless!"

"Grandson, go get Grandpa’s cane. I’m going to beat him to death!" an elderly gentleman declared tremulously, yet his eyes were filled with rage.

The screen then paused, and the news anchor continued, "Currently, Master Guo Chuan has been taken to the hospital and is still in critical condition. At 65 years old, Master Guo Chuan is no longer fit for fighting. In response to this incident, Linchuan Municipal Government has also held a press conference."

Li Chen watched the news, his expression darkening slightly as a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Brother-in-law, this guy doesn’t have any sense of chivalry at all, bragging about being a German," Lin Xiaoxiao complained angrily, losing her appetite despite having been eating.

Aunt Wang, who was sweeping the floor behind them, also had a glint in her eyes and a flash of killing intent.

Their group despised those who bullied the weak the most. True Kung Fu was never about oppressing the weak but challenging the strong. Yet Xiuman and this white man seemed to take pleasure in bullying others, knowing full well Guo Chuan was defenseless they still stepped on him.

"If it were my old woman, I’d kill that little bastard right now!" Aunt Wang said from behind, a cold glint in her eyes.

Even the usually cheerful Aunt Wang was angered by the news report, showing just how infuriating Xiuman and James’s actions were!

Linchuan also frowned slightly; such an event would unsettle any Huaxia person, even if they weren’t present. But issues relating to national and ethnic dignity felt personal to everyone.

Lin Xiaoxiao was fuming, the news just now was truly nauseating to her, and now the TV was showing a press conference from Linchuan City again; faced with the official rhetoric, she no longer had the mood to watch and directly stopped paying attention, picking up the remote and pressing it hard to change the channel.

But, nobody felt like watching TV anymore.

Everyone was feeling a bit uneasy, calling Zhong Tian over for dinner, and then each went into their rooms.

"Come, baby, let me feel and see if you’ve grown any bigger."

Li Chen, however, had put this matter behind him and chuckled, reaching to undo Lin Yi’s pajamas.

Lin Yi playfully slapped Li Chen’s hand away and asked, "What do you think about the incident on the news today?"

"What do I think?" Li Chen laughed, "Didn’t I watch it on TV?"

Lin Yi unfastened her hairpin, letting her beautiful long hair fall down and sweep across Li Chen’s face. He touched the hair and smelled it, a scent of freshness wafting around.

"You know I’m not talking about that. Now that people are bullying us right up to our doorstep, aren’t you going to do something?" Lin Yi said.

Li Chen looked at Lin Yi in slight surprise—it seemed his beautiful wife was also quite incensed about the matter, actually expecting him to take action and teach the martial arts team a lesson.

Li Chen shook his head and smiled slightly, "Darling, this isn’t something I need to worry about, there will be people who are concerned about it."

After speaking, he pulled Lin Yi over, and as she exclaimed, Li Chen chuckled and removed her pajamas; "Wife, what we should be concerned about is creating a child, don’t you want to have a kid?"

...

On the other hand, Mayor Ren was also very exhausted.

This matter had truly left him spent, and even though he had held a press conference at the earliest opportunity, because James and his companions were completely outside his jurisdiction, he couldn’t answer any of the multitude of questions from reporters.

Questions like whether to arrest them, what punishments to give, how to manage the international exchange of martial arts, and such, had Mayor Ren at his wits’ end.

Because he simply had no way to answer, he was also quite distressed; if it were within his jurisdiction, he would handle it without hesitation, but the problem wasn’t that simple—the foreign martial arts team came with significant backing, and how to handle it was linked to international relations, something beyond his authority to decide.

So, after dealing with the reporters, Mayor Ren was almost worn out, pacing back and forth when he got back, but fortunately, not long after, instructions came from above.

The martial arts exchange was to proceed as usual, other matters would naturally be handled by someone else.

Mayor Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

At the upper levels, the leaders too furrowed their brows upon hearing the news, which had already spread nationwide, fermenting public sentiment at unprecedented speed, and now the whole country was in uproar, claiming to mete out death to James and his companions directly.

"Little Ye, go tell the people from Dragon Soul to check out these people’s backgrounds."

"Yes."

The young man in front saluted, then turned and left.

For the high-level leaders, the bigger picture was always the priority, but of course, this did not mean they would do nothing—Dragon Soul had already sent experts rushing to Linchuan, and forces from other places had also been mobilized.

Linchuan Dragon Soul branch.

"Snap"

A table directly shattered as the Qilin Princess, dressed in black, stood up coldly.

"Qilin, be calm!"

The man behind her called out, "This matter isn’t so simple, the higher-ups suspect there’s a complex web of relationships behind it, which is why we’ve been instructed not to act rashly."

The Qilin Princess stood firm, "I’m going out for some air."

The man behind her shook his head and then said to someone beside him, "Transfer Qilin to the defense line in Cainan Province to stay for a while tomorrow; don’t let her make any unwise moves."

"Yes."

One could say that, although Huaxia wasn’t showing much on the surface, it had already begun taking swift covert action.

The actions of a nation are never displayed openly; some things, moreover, are only announced after they’re completed and the results are in.

Governing a great country is like cooking a small fish, every move must be made with care.

Li Chen wasn’t worried about this matter, as the National Martial Arts Community’s strength was still very strong, more than capable of handling this troop of martial artists without involving him.

So, the next day, Li Chen still went to work in good spirits with Lin Yi.
