Chapter 140
"Can it be the man in the hotel? After all, we two wanted to leave Neon Country and return to Taipei, and it seemed that only this man knew. He sat not far away from us when we were having dinner in the restaurant." Just as the two of them were guessing that the video brought the video, the woman suddenly thought of something.
"You mean, the man who kicked the bathroom open the door to save me?" asked my best friend in confusion.
"Yes, it's probably him. I remember we took the elevator together, and he should have heard our conversation clearly in the elevator. In addition, when he kicked the door to save you, the conversation between us was also heard in our ears without saying a word.
If it weren't for this man, the chances for others would be even more slim. After all, he was the only one who knew what happened between us and the time we left! "The woman seemed to be confident in her heart that the person who made the fake video tape was the life-saving person.
However, my best friend still remains suspicious.
"I don't know what technology to use to make this video tape fake. But I believe it is absolutely impossible to create a video tape out of thin air in a short while. Even if he wants to make it, it will take time. At this time... unless he made the video tape early in the morning. He went to the hotel and deliberately stayed next to us, in fact, just to hand the video tape over to us. But what is his motive? Is he trying to threaten us?" My best friend thought about several questions.
The woman nodded after hearing her best friend’s guess.
"You guessed it, he must have made the video tape early in the morning. We stayed in Neon Country for more than a week, and this week we have been looking for your ex-boyfriend through various relationships.
Obviously, this man knew the purpose of our trip. The reason why he gave us this videotape was not to threaten us, but to show off his skills to us.
If I guess correctly, this man should be waiting for us to quote. The reason why this man approaches us is for money.
He can do a normal set of fakes, such as letting your husband become the male protagonist of this video tape. Your husband clearly knows that he has never done these things, so your husband will understand that someone can make fakes.
At that time, you can explain to him that your photos were faked, and that you in the photos were actually fake. In this way, your husband will have no reason to break off the engagement." After thinking for a long time, this reason is the most logical.
"He asked for money and spoke directly. He knew that we were leaving Tokyo and returning to Taipei. Why didn't we just act straight to the point? What should we do now? Should we book a flight tomorrow immediately?" My best friend said angrily.
"Since he is for money, he knows the story between us. If what I expected is right, he will definitely wait in the hotel for us to go back to find him. Since this person is so patient, let him stay in the hotel for two more days. Since we are back in Taipei, we should first understand the situation on your husband's side. Wait for everything..." The woman wanted to say that after everything was clear, the two were flying back to Tokyo to ask the other party to help.
But my best friend obviously has different ideas.
"I can handle the matter here alone, so let's take action separately now. You fly back to find the man and ask him to help fake it. As long as I can marry my husband smoothly, he can do as much money as he wants. If the things he made cannot be believed by my husband, then I will not pay a penny." My best friend said with some presumption.
"People like them always pay one hand and deliver the goods in the other. When you buy a piece of clothing, the merchant will not agree to let you wear it home to show your friends. Please wait until your relatives and friends are satisfied before paying!" The woman rolled her eyes helplessly when she said this.
"Okay, let him offer the price. As long as the video tape is equivalent to that, I will pay the remuneration immediately. I will go to the bank to open a US dollar check early tomorrow morning, but my account should be less than 50,000 US dollars. And that money is still what I flattered my husband. If that person spoke loudly, I would have to ask you. But don't worry, as long as I marry my husband, I will return the money to you immediately." My best friend said coquettishly.
"You don't have to worry about money. We have been in love since childhood, so we will treat this little money as I'll give you the money for marriage. By the way, you can prepare some photos of your husband right now. Even if this person has great ability to fake it, he at least knows what your husband looks like!" The woman thought of a key question.
"It just so happens that I have the albums of the two of us going out for fun." My best friend ran back to her room and took out two albums as she spoke.
"After I leave, you must keep your breath and just need to inquire about the news. When I take the video tape of the fake return, your husband will have to choose to believe you.
If he dares to doubt you and refuses to marry you.
We will copy hundreds of fake video tapes. If your husband’s relatives and friends knew that he liked not women but men, he would probably never have the face to pick up girls again." The woman thought that this fake video tape could not only confirm that the photos of her best friend were fake, but also threatened her husband to surrender.
But this woman obviously didn't realize that the marriage obtained with threats would probably not be at all happy.
"Yes, yes, let the fake man arrange an ugly and disgusting second male lead for him. If he dares not marry me, I will let everyone know that he likes a man and tastes so disgusting." If he doesn't get it, it will be ruined. Obviously, this woman has made a decision in her heart.
Just as the two were discussing a countermeasure, Lin Ping, the person involved, was facing two distinguished guests at the Neon Country Hotel.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, we are staff members of the Embassy of Neon Kingdom in China. We learned from the newspaper that you have to challenge the entire Neon Kingdom Go master with your own strength.
We had no intention of disturbing your preparations before the game, but recently there was content about this news everywhere in the newspapers.
We came this time, first to cheer you up and encourage you. Secondly, we wanted to see if we needed anything, can we help?" This time, only two young men around 30 years old came.
Looking at the two polite people, Lin Ping could probably guess the purpose of their trip.
In this era, I collectively led the media industry in Neon Country to report on something. This incident may even trigger a certain degree of emotional confrontation.
In such a situation, if the embassy staff ignore it, then it is obvious that once a domestic leader asks, they will not be able to explain.
"The conditions here are good, I stayed here very well. I don't need any extra help for the time being." Lin Ping responded a little unrestrained, and did not seem particularly enthusiastic because the other party was a staff member of the embassy.
When they heard Lin Ping's words, the two looked at each other.
The two were obviously a little disappointed with Lin Ping's answer.
Another person saw that Lin Ping was so incomprehensible, so he said directly: "We have checked Mr. Lin's information. In our Chinese Go world, there seems to be no such person as you.
Now you suddenly appear in the Neon Country Go Academy, and you want to challenge the overlord of the Go world with one person. We are really curious, how could a player who is unknown in China suddenly come to Neon Country to challenge?"
This straightforwardness made the atmosphere on the scene a little depressed.
"I guess you two have heard of the four words "hidden master". Although some of the old Wang is suspected of selling melons and boasting, I believe you both have read the reports of Neon Kingdom in the past two days. Neon Kingdom reports will not lie. Those professional Nine-dan players in Neon Kingdom have confirmed that my level is not a false reputation.
Now the entire Neon National Go Academy is facing a great enemy. When my opponent is seriously studying my chess score, our own people come to doubt me. Do you think it is appropriate at this point in time?
As for why I came to Neon Country to challenge, it was just that I didn’t have my opponent in China. Just imagine, if it was another person, would the Neon Country Go Academy be so nervous?" Lin Ping said in a calm tone.
"Your strength is indeed very strong, and we do not doubt this now. We are here today, just to hope that Mr. Lin will try his best to control public opinion and not over-indulge this kind of oppositional emotion. We do not intervene in the chess and discussions, but it hinders the friendly relations between the two countries, so we have to sit idly by and watch." These words pointed out the purpose of this trip.
"I am just a Go enthusiast. I will not do anything that hinders the friendly relations between the two countries. Besides... if nothing happens, I will continue to prepare for the war. I am sorry for not being well-received." Lin Ping originally planned to explain his identity as a businessman, but he swallowed it back when he said that.
"You, don't be arrogant and think that you are a Go master and look down on everything. This world is always full of people and people, and I hope you can do it yourself." It was obvious that the other party was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ping's cold attitude.
"If there is really a heaven in the Go world, then I am heaven." Lin Ping said with a sneer.
The two of them didn't expect that Lin Ping was so arrogant that he actually dared to compare himself to the heavens in the Go world.
"Comrade, your attitude is extremely dangerous. We have finally gotten along harmoniously between us, and we don't want a piece of rat shit to ruin the porridge. In addition, economic and trade exchanges between our two countries are gradually getting closer. The country has applied for a large loan from the Neon Kingdom, and at the same time, many of our textile and agricultural products regard Neon Kingdom as a top export destination.
Here we can earn foreign exchange and promote economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. If this Go challenge seriously interferes with the atmosphere of good-neighborliness and friendship, we have to warn you and remind you to control your words and deeds.
Also, you are investigating now in China. If you don’t want to cause trouble, it’s best to do what we say.” This is equivalent to an ultimatum.
The two obviously don’t pay attention to the outcome of a game of Go. They just need to ensure that Lin Ping does not destroy the current friendly atmosphere.
Once the people of Neon Country get bored, it may affect the economy and trade between the two countries.
After all, light textiles and agricultural products are not irreplaceable. If the merchants in Neon Country stop importing, it will be a big blow to the country that urgently needs foreign exchange.
Once things develop to this point, no one can take this responsibility.
For the two, it would rather cancel this game than let Lin Ping do whatever he wants here.
Lin Ping was also a little amused when he was compared to a mouse shit.
"I know what you are worried about is nothing more than fear that the Neon National Go Academy will lose too badly, which will trigger a public sentiment, and once this sentiment reaches the economic level, it may be detrimental to my country's exports.
As far as I know, our country now has not much trade volume exported to Neon Country. For this amount of foreign exchange, it is nothing to the bucket for our huge country. Even without these orders from Neon Country, it is not harmful to us." Lin Ping said without caring!
"You...you are making a serious mistake. I now order you to cancel the competition immediately and return to China immediately. While there has not been any substantial damage yet, we guarantee that everything will be the same after you return to China. But if you do not listen to the advice, even if it will damage the trade between the two countries, you cannot afford this responsibility." The two were extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ping's attitude.
Especially Lin Ping's contempt of trade between the two countries so much, and even his attitude is likely to hurt the country's foreign exchange strategy.
"You ordered me? We will not get along with each other, and you are not my boss, and I have not violated any law. What position and identity do you use to command me now? Not to mention you, even if the ambassador comes in person, he does not have the qualifications!
Maybe you think I am arrogant, but I have the capital to be arrogant. And you two come uninvited and are verbally humiliating me. I really want to figure out who is the rat shit between us that ruined the soup.
Don’t threaten me with international trade. If you really care about the country’s foreign exchange, you should go back and call the Foreign Exchange Administration immediately to ask who Lin Ping is?
As for whether I want to return to China, it’s not your turn to make the decision, but I suggest you report our conversation in detail to your superiors. I believe you two will be dismissed soon and transferred back to China immediately.
After returning to China, I will visit your department in person. Now, please leave immediately." After Lin Ping said that, he walked directly to the door and opened the door, indicating that the two of them would disappear from the room immediately.
The two who visited knew that Lin Ping was a proud Go master who was proud of his talent.
But unexpectedly, this person's attitude was so tough. What he didn't expect was that this person actually dared to threaten the two of them.
Just looking at Lin Ping's face, the two of them were not sure whether Lin Ping's words were true or false.
But there is one thing that the two of them are very sure of, that is, it is meaningless to argue here.
So the two left the hotel and returned to the embassy.
However, when reporting the situation to the ambassador, the two concealed the verbal conflict between the two parties.
He just reported Lin Ping's attitude to the ambassador.
"He said he didn't care about the economic and trade exchanges between Neon Kingdom and our country. He said that foreign exchange was not worth mentioning at all. He also said that we would call the Foreign Exchange Administration to mention his name!" The two said this not to report the situation, but to strengthen Lin Ping's image of being arrogant and unreasonable and disobedient.
In the hearts of the two, a mere Go player.
What qualifications do you have to ask the embassy to go to the Foreign Exchange Administration to inquire about his information?
After the two of them finished speaking, the ambassador hesitated and picked up the phone.
More than ten minutes later, the ambassador hung up the phone with a serious expression.
Although the two were sitting opposite each other, they didn't know the content of the phone.
After seeing the master's face solemn, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Could it be that this person is a big shot?
Could it be that you have any titles in the Foreign Exchange Administration?
"This person is named Lin Ping, he did not use a fake name. But he is indeed not a Go master. The chess scores published in the Neon Country media can only prove that the chess score itself is very powerful. It cannot prove that it was from Lin Ping? Perhaps it was made by him from some ancient chess score or someone else." The ambassador said to the two.
"Ah?" The two obviously didn't expect that the matter would be so serious.
"What are you waiting for? Should we notify the police of Neon Country to arrest him? Now the media of Neon Country, which has been stirred by a liar, is reporting it in a big way. If someone finds out the truth, it may seriously affect our country's international image?"
"I have long seen that he is not a good thing. An unknown person in China suddenly jumped out to challenge the Neon National Go Academy. There was a weirdness on both sides of the top and bottom, left and right. Now it turns out that he is a liar. Such a person should be arrested and deported. He is directly held accountable after returning to China!"
However, just as the two of them were indignant, the ambassador waved his hands repeatedly.
"Although he is not a national Go player, he is a very successful businessman. He is also a Hong Kong businessman. He has only one purpose for this. He came to Neon Kingdom for business. He simply used some side-minded means to gain media attention and let these media help him advertise for free. This person has great talent and has played the media in Neon Kingdom all around. He even made changes to the Go pattern over the past century." The ambassador suddenly laughed out loud.
"Ah?" The two of them were stunned for a moment.
"But he is still a liar! If the media knows about this, it will seriously affect the image of our country."
"How can this be called a scam? All media have recognized the strength of these 30 chess scores, and the Neon National Go Academy is also careful to deal with it. Besides, this is just what does Lin Ping's personal behavior have to do with our country. Do not exaggerate these matters in the future.
Also, he does despise the little trade volume of our country and Neon Kingdom. Before the Chinese New Year, he had just exchanged 10 million US dollars of RMB from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. This time he came to Neon Kingdom, and it is likely that he would create more foreign exchange. According to the comrades of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, Lin Ping's company has the potential to reach a market value of billions of US dollars. A private company of this size is the treasure of our country. Although this person is a Hong Kong business company and is also in Hong Kong City, his production base is in China. And now he is still a treasure of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery." The ambassador did not expect that this person is not only not at all dangerous, but is still a treasure.
"Ah?" The two of them became uneasy after hearing this.
Because the two remembered the verbal conflict between them and Lin Ping.
