Chapter 738: Chapter 641: No Limit (Seeking Subscriptions!) _1

Half an hour later.

At Ling’s office.

Sun Jiang and Meng Fan were perched on the edge of a sofa.

A soldier filled two cups of green tea for them and then left the room.

Even though they had met Ling before, they were still somewhat nervous. It was understandable; after all, they were now on the turf of a man who had executed such a brilliant reversal and had swiftly taken over such vast territory in Myanmar.

However, they had the backing of their mighty homeland, Huaxia, supporting them.

So they were merely nervous.

Not scared.

They also greatly admired Ling’s deeds. It was said that the first thing Ling did after seizing control was to eradicate all harmful substances. Not only that, but he later introduced fruit wine, a divine drink reputed to cure addiction and tastes quite good. Despite being a bit expensive, its benefits were significant and now Ling is leading millions of people out of poverty.

Such endeavors were undeniably commendable.

The two had already greeted Ling earlier. Seeing the soldier leaving, Sun Jiang broke the silence with a smile, "Deputy Leader Ling, thank you for receiving us. Our main reason for coming here was just to meet you and convey Huaxia’s goodwill and friendliness."

"Myanmar and Huaxia have always been neighbors. I have long admired Huaxia’s economic development. I also hope that we continue to maintain a friendly relationship, sharing resources and becoming friends," replied Ling in a systematic manner.

He spoke.

In Chinese.

Pure, unaccented Chinese.

They were astonished; they had never heard Ling speak Chinese, let alone fluently. Does this mean Ling had been to Huaxia? Yes, he must have. There was no other explanation for his impeccable command of Chinese.

Without immersion in the right environment,

It’s impossible to maintain correct pronunciation.

"Deputy Leader Ling, your Chinese is extraordinary," Sun Jiang remarked, trying to coax Ling into revealing more.

Ling cooperated and responded, "Thank you for the compliment. I spent some time living in Huaxia but never held a formal status there. I had to return here to make a living. Witnessing my compatriots face injustice and suffering conflicted my memories of Huaxia’s achievements, and it spurred me to act, to make a change. And this is what led to my present circumstances."

Telling this lie was smooth for Ling, as it had already been prepared in the command room. Giving Huaxia the impression that Ling was pro-Huaxia, speaking Chinese was advantageous for communication and closing the gap.

As expected.

Sun Jiang and Meng Fan felt much closer to Ling.

More than a little.

In a foreign land, it was a feeling of pride and connection to hear someone, especially a country’s deputy leader, speak their native language. They felt as if their culture was being recognized.

Also, this was the first time they were acquainted with Ling’s ’legendary experiences,’ which included living undocumented in Huaxia for some time. They’d have to investigate this once they got back, as it was a significant matter if the deputy leader of Myanmar had been an undocumented immigrant in Huaxia.

Nobody knew anything about Ling’s origins before.

Who his parents were.

Where his home was.

What his family situation was like.

Where his weapons came from and the likes. Now that they had a breakthrough, it’d be much easier to navigate.

Wait a minute; Sun Jiang felt like he was forgetting something. As he pondered, Ling spoke, "Gentlemen, I would appreciate it if you could keep my stay in Huaxia confidential. I fear it could cause unnecessary troubles."

There it was.

Sun Jiang felt a jolt in his chest.

It made sense.

The mystery surrounding Ling’s identity, his proficiency in Chinese, his unknown origin, and his well-stocked armory... My goodness, once these elements were connected, not even jumping into the Yellow River could wash off the dirt.

Both men felt a chill creeping up their spines.

The truth.

Was incredibly brutal.

They felt they should not have known about this development, it was a significant matter. If word got out...the consequences would be immense. The two glanced fearfully at Ling. This time they were genuinely frightened, not just nervous.

"Rest assured, we won’t discuss this recklessly. We’d appreciate it if you also kept this period of your life confidential, Deputy Leader Ling," Sun Jiang managed a bitter laugh. He craved candy; his heart was bitter. He rued his loose tongue.

"Of course. We’re conversing confidentially. I only wanted to state my fondness for Huaxia, and I hope we can cooperate and strengthen our economic ties in the future," Ling replied with a smile.

It seemed the goal had been achieved. This ’private negotiation’ should be enough to make Huaxia look upon him more favorably.

Of course.

Ling was like a ticking time bomb.

They literally couldn’t afford to ignore him now.

Sun Jiang was contemplating how he’d explain this once he returned. They were curious about Ling’s background, but now Sun suddenly wished they had known less for fear of a potential heartbreak.

"Okay, I’ll surely convey this. Deputy Leader Ling, there’s something I would like to enquire about. Can the equipment from the Myanmar Military Services Company be modified to handheld? The large-scale equipment is only suitable for plains, not hilly areas. Huaxia actually has a requirement for the mine-clearing equipment as well," Sun Jiang quickly changed the topic. He was too afraid to keep discussing the matter, for fear he wouldn’t be able to control his trembling hands. This was huge; it could become lethal if someone capitalized on it.

"Well, it’s actually being tested, but can’t be fully guaranteed yet. However, I believe we’ll have results soon," Ling responded vaguely about the miniaturization of the landmine equipment, which wasn’t really an issue. However, outsiders couldn’t perceive it as easy if they were to charge high prices.
