Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 1962: Chapter 1786: Escalation of the Situation

Seaside.

The sun sets in the west.

The cool sea breeze cannot blow away the gloom in the elderly man’s heart.

The butler asked:

“Still investigating?”

“…”

The elderly man did not answer.

The person is dead.

How to investigate?

Despite finding it suspicious.

But at this point, what good will come from finding something? The plan has fallen apart, wasted, beyond redemption. Though unwilling to admit, it’s clear that as the play progressed, hope was dim.

This matter.

Must start with the three scientists.

At this moment, the butler borrowed a phone, and his expression gradually became more animated. Seeing this, the elderly man had a bad premonition, bad news continued today, and he was getting scared.

He hung up the phone.

“What happened?” the elderly man asked urgently.

The butler gave a wry smile.

“Just now, the Stockholm police received a tip-off and raided a warehouse, found over a dozen criminals and a large cache of weapons. After a battle, the police killed all the criminals.”

Elderly man: ???

What does this have to do with him?

“Based on information collected from the scene, the police determined that their target was Burma’s three scientists. Due to the intense battle, many journalists came, and there were insiders who sold the news.”

“Live broadcast, now, there’s no time to block it.”

“WHAT?”

The elderly man exclaimed.

Criminals.

Police.

Killed.

Media.

Putting it all together, you’ve finished the play, and what else can they play at!

“Whose people?”

The elderly man asked with a stern face.

“Investigating,” said the butler.

“…”

Now.

It’s not just a matter of whether to investigate. Once Burma finds out about this, will they still let the three scientists come? If they do, there’s still a chance; if not, they’ll all be left staring blankly.

…

Outside world.

Just one day.

Three dramas unfolded, the masses were dizzy with information. Doubts, silencing, abduction, just as thrilling as a movie, especially the last part, utterly shocking.

“More drama to watch.”

“Is the Duha Research Institute really faking it?”

“Swindler.”

“Can’t jump to conclusions too early, doubt remains unoverturned. It seems that hacker has done more than one thing that would get him silenced, perhaps it’s an old enemy; don’t jump to conclusions.”

“Makes sense.”

“I find it more and more suspicious, so far, no one from the Duha Research Institute has come out to refute the rumors, don’t you find it strange? They used to love being in the news.”

“The innocent will prove themselves innocent.”

“Those capable don’t need to explain.”

“Exactly.”

“Support Fred.”

“…”

Towards Fred, the Western public generally showed support, because of their pride, their honor, unwilling to accept that a civilized person from a developed country became a swindler and deceived the whole world.

Must be rumors.

Yes.

Must be.

As for those criminals, weren’t they caught? There’s nothing to pay attention to, just give a thumbs up to Sweden’s police. Criminals mean someone wants the technology, and Fred is about face.

The latter.

Is what they care about.

….

Burma.

Just dawn.

“What? Someone wants to kidnap our scientists? Over a dozen people, with so many weapons, and engaged in a firefight with Sweden’s police for half an hour? No, absolutely cannot go, too dangerous.”

“Not going.”

“Find someone to receive it on their behalf, it’s too dangerous outside, still safest here with us.” Saying this resonated with numerous Burmese netizens, as the situation here was quite complicated several years ago.

A bit chaotic.

However.

Once Ling assumed power.

Two years.

In just two years.

Petty thefts disappeared, hoodlums vanished, all went to the mining fields, one could say doors unlocked at night, no lost stuff on the roads, no exaggeration. Robbery? Such things haven’t happened in a year.

“Receive on behalf? Is it possible?”

“Possible.”

“Then receive on behalf, casually find someone who doesn’t understand technology to go.”

“Agreed.”

“…”

A chorus of voices not wanting to go.

Scientists.

Transcription fluid.

Are all too important to lose, outsiders may think it’s overcautious, but it’s like a family, the main source of income drastically reduced, surely there’s panic, worrying what to eat next.

Outsiders simply won’t care.

They’ll just think: It’s just less, not none, steamed buns and pickles, isn’t it still living?

At this moment.

Everyone waited for Ling’s decision.

Only one day left.

Tomorrow.

These scientists will depart.

“Go.”

Half an hour later.

The presidential office issued a statement, still deciding to let the three scientists go to Sweden to accept the award. The reason was simple: “We should trust the Swedish police and Government, they can guarantee the scientists’ safety.”

Instantly.

Public opinion settled.

Ling.

Words in this country were like imperial decrees.

“Alright then.”

“Hope nothing goes wrong.”

“Ling’s decisions aren’t wrong, besides, if we truly don’t go, foreigners will think we’re timid as mice.” Public opinion is always subjectively influenced, many people shifted tones.

Ling said it’s fine.

Then it’s fine.

Even if not, it has to be.

Moreover,

They know even more that Ling’s interests align with theirs. Ling, the owner of the transcription fluid, isn’t worried, surely it’s been weighed, and there should be ample preparations.

“Then go.”

“Sweden must take it seriously.”

“Deploy ten police officers for protection.”

“Twenty.”

“Thirty.”

“One hundred.”

“…”

Soon.

The discussion turned into a ’bidding war’. The numbers became more and more outrageous, leaving the foreigners in Burma speechless. So many people, whether Sweden’s police force has so many is another question, truly neurotic.

Pressure.

Suddenly fell onto Sweden’s police.

…

Sweden.

Stockholm.

Police department.

“Just now, Burma’s Security department sent an official letter hoping that our Swedish police can send people to specially protect their three scientists to prevent any accidents. What do you think about this matter?”

Below.

One by one they frowned.

What to think?

Of course, send people, can’t take it lightly, before it was fine just to send a few, but after this incident, a few? Not to mention the other side isn’t reassured, even we aren’t reassured.

This time.

Over a dozen criminals, fully armed, ferocious firepower, they deployed nearly eighty people to take down all the adversaries, and several perished in action, this matter has already spread internationally.

Situation escalated.

Naturally.

Security should also escalate.

“I think, just according to the protection level of foreign dignitaries, these criminals, intending to attack our guests in our capital, luckily they did not succeed, otherwise, we’d lose face.”

“Dignitary?”

“Yes.”

“What do you all think?”

“Alright.”

“Agree.”

“…”

Unanimous approval.

“Oh, right, the journey of the three scientists, the Burmese side said they would arrange it themselves, renting their own ’March’, two vehicles, a security team of ten will arrive a day early.”

“Is this looking down on us?”

“This is too much.”

“…”

The office was full of discontent.

You send people.

You send vehicles.

We are just the embellishment? However, no matter the dissatisfaction, it must be endured, the kidnapping turmoil isn’t over, they’re anxious, understandable, two Marches, these things are durable.
