Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao chuckled and shook his head, "No worries, the one who should be concerned now is Cui Zhi."

He was convinced that Wang Kai was definitely a connection made by Cui Zhi.

If Wang Kai were investigated, Cui Zhi's family wouldn't be able to escape involvement either.

Bribery is a serious crime that can lead to many years in prison.

The chubby friend asked with interest, "Big bro, do you also have connections in Jianghai? Otherwise, how could you have gotten out so easily? Today Chen Ping checked, and the company owned by Cui Zhi's family is no small deal, with assets of hundreds of millions. Although it's not notable in Jianghai City, it's really impressive to us."

Qin Hao nodded, but he didn't mention Li Moying or Xu Jiekang.

Because in his view, these two connections were not as solid as one might think.

Li Moying helped him entirely because of the relationship established in the game; she was willing to help with minor matters, but if it involved her family's concrete interests, she probably wouldn't assist Qin Hao.

As for Xu Jiekang, it was even simpler; the other party was probably returning a favor, and favors eventually run out. When that day came, he would have no connections to speak of.

Only self-strength is the true principle.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of urgency; the expansion of his roast duck restaurant must be accelerated, as well as the Air Energy Car.

The Air Energy Car Manufacturing Technology is the key—after all, the roast duck restaurant is just in the food industry, which doesn't have a significant impact on Xuan Country.

But the Air Energy Car is quite the opposite; it pertains to industrial development.

Be it the air energy engine or various innovative technologies, if he could manufacture them, the entire world would be shaken. By then, based on his reputation, as long as he didn't make fundamental mistakes, the country wouldn't touch him, let alone a small company like Cui Zhi's family.

"Big bro, have you seen the news? It's almost blowing up online."

Qin Hao asked curiously, "What happened?"

The chubby one said, "The Northwest Federation and our country are going to engage in a trade war. The Northwest Federation wants to curb our industrial development."

Chen Ping also chimed in, "Our industrial technology and high-tech technology are developing too fast. The Northwest Federation wants to nip our country's industrial development in the bud; they must be afraid that we will shake their hegemony."

"Not only that, but our country's large multinational corporations used to be able to acquire companies from the Northwest Federation. Now it's nearly impossible. They're afraid of technology leaking into Xuan Country."

The chubby one added, "The internet is in an uproar now; almost everyone is united in their condemnation, cursing the Northwest Federation. Big bro, come take a look."

Upon hearing what the two said, Qin Hao walked over, curious. This matter concerned national affairs, and as a citizen of Xuan Country, he was concerned too.

Because every action of the country has an impact on its hundreds of millions of citizens.

The site the chubby friend was browsing was a well-known online forum, where many people were discussing the topic, which was also pinned at the top. Virtually everyone who entered the forum could see it.

Qin Hao read through the forum post. This war without the smoke of gunpowder was terrifying; any slight mistake could lead to disaster.

Back then, Beisu's dissolution was due to economic blockades and sanctions led by the Northwest Federation against Beisu in conjunction with other countries.

As a result, Beisu retreated, and the vast country was torn apart.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nowadays, Beisu is also mired in diplomatic quagmires, too busy responding to offer help to Xuan Country. Even if they had the capability to help, Beisu probably wouldn't.

Because Xuan Country's development was much faster than Beisu had anticipated; Beisu was likely already wary of Xuan Country.

One reply below resonated deeply with Qin Hao.

The netizen said, "From importing to replicating, from 'Made in Xuan' to full surpassing, the rapid progress of Xuan Country's industrial technology has astounded the world. That is the power of Xuan Country, the power that makes the Northwest Federation afraid."

"Big bro, you don't think this will lead to war, do you?"

Qin Hao shook his head, "A war is unlikely, after all, both sides possess nuclear weapons. If they were really put to use, the Earth would lose nine out of ten of its inhabitants. It wouldn't be good for anyone."
