Chapter 1333: Delay Strategy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation“A… pologize?” Zaar looked at Chen Xiaobei and growled, “Chen Xiaobei! Don’t even dare try! Have you forgotten why you came here in the first place?”“I will not repeat myself thrice! I want you get your ass over here and apologize!” Chen Xiaobei said in a stern manner.“Just forget about it, Bro Bei.” Jane was worried.Chen Xiaobei shook his head, adamant.“I wouldn’t have cared if they attacked me! But hitting my fan? That I cannot tolerate!”“Bro Bei, you’re so cool!”Jane was deeply touched by Chen Xiaobei. Her eyes were twinkled as she stared longingly at him. This incident made her feel that becoming a fan of Bro Bei’s was the best decision that she could have ever made.“Chen Xiaobei, don’t be ridiculous!” Zaar was annoyed.Chen Xiaobei was here to save Xiangyu. This was where he should be humbling himself and begging America to release his friend.However, not only did Chen Xiaobei not have half the mind to beg, but he was rowdy and unmanageable instead.He obviously had no regard for Zaar or America.Zaar was very unhappy with the predicament he had gotten himself in. If he apologized to Jane, then it would mean that he admits defeat to Chen Xiaobei.Where would he hide his face then?Where would the United States of America put its face then?“It seems like someone is ignoring my orders!”Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, and walked towards Zaar.“What… What are you doing?”Zaar hid behind the three bodyguards like a frightened bird.But the bodyguards were just as frightened. They eyed Chen Xiaobei cautiously, swallowing hard.“I gave you an ultimatum in front of my fan but you turned a deaf ear! You embarrassed me in front of my fan! That’s equivalent to slapping my face!” Chen Xiaobei raised a palm and said, “I am a very reasonable person. You hit my face, I’ll hit yours back!”“Don’t come over here! Don’t!”Zaar was petrified, and his three bodyguards slowly stepped backwards.They had all witnessed Chen Xiaobei slap their colleague. None of them wanted to give it a try.“Chen Xiaobei! I said don’t come here!” Zaar screamed. “Don’t forget that we still have Xiangyu! Also, you are on American soil! You have no right to act so savagely!”“Heh! Just because you say I can’t then I can’t? Then I won’t have any face left! I’m willing to bet that even if I beat all of you to death, the American authorities would still treat me with courtesy!” Chen Xiaobei posed as if he was going to strike.“Don’t… Don’t hit us… We’ll apologize!”Zaar conceded, and lead the other three bodyguards to Jane and bowed obsequiously.“We’re sorry! We’re really sorry! This was all a misunderstanding. We apologize!”The four idiots bowed profusely.Jane was too stunned to react, she mumbled, “Forget it, since you’ve apologized, I won’t sue you.”Chen Xiaobei chuckled at this.He was not a flagrant boor. His display of power was not just to back his fan, but also to test the Americans’ limits!But from Zaar’s reaction, it was obvious that the Americans did not want to cross swords with Chen Xiaobei.Chen Xiaobei still had Professor Lin and obtaining his research data via exploitation was not as important as uprooting the professor to America.It was like what Chen Xiaobei had said: Even if he beat up Zaar and the others, the Americans could not do anything about it.The government would not bat an eyelid for a bunch of trained dogs!Zaar knew this. That was why he had to tuck his tail between his legs and apologize obediently.He had underestimated Chen Xiaobei. If he had known how strong Chen Xiaobei was, he would not have done what he did.That would be only incur repulsion and repugnance.After, Jane had cooled down, she returned to the plane and continued working.Chen Xiaobei followed Zaar to a covert base buried deep in the mountains.There were no signs of lab equipment there, so it was definitely not where Hou Sailei worked.However, there were shield symbols everywhere. This must be where S.H.I.E.L.D was located.“Mr. Chen, please take a seat. The Army Chief will be here shortly!”Zaar brought Chen Xiaobei to a meeting room and then took off, afraid to be spend another minute alone with Chen Xiaobei.Chen Xiaobei ignored him waiting for someone who really made the decisions to arrive.Soon enough, the door to the room was pushed opened, and a general in his sixties walked in with a middle-aged man behind him, a laptop in hand.“I’m your humble servant Stanford Morgan! The current Vice President of the United States of America! Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army!” The American general introduced himself, and sat across the table from Chen Xiaobei.The man with the laptop said nothing, and remained standing.“I don’t care who you are, and I don’t give a damn how high your position is. I just want to know where Bro Yu is, and I want to know his current condition!”The look Chen Xiaobei gave him was cold and unwelcoming.“It looks like Mr. Chen is a candid man!” Stanford said. “Xiangyu is in good condition. But I can’t tell you where he is just yet.”“This is the thing you wanted! Take it! After you check it, release your hostage!” Chen Xiaobei tossed the flash drive over.Stanford gave the middle-aged man a look. The man then immediately opened the laptop, and plugged in the drive.Within it contained data of the research project based on Professor Lin’s early hypothesis.Theoretically, the hypothesis was sound, but in practice, there were actually a lot of discrepancies. As a result, it would never have worked. It was a reject, a project the professor had eliminated.Considering the lengthy and complicated nature of the data, the discrepancies would not show up by simply analysing the data on the computer.This was a stalling stratagem.By the time the enemy had prepared the equipment and gathered the resources, thus beginning the experiment, Chen Xiaobei and Xiangyu would have been long gone by then.“No problem, Mr. Stanford!”The middle-aged man then said, “This is the core research project. A lot the data in here matches with ours!”Zhu Zhe, the mole had already leaked some of the research data to the Americans. But the core research was still with Professor Lin.Since this faulty research project also belonged to the professor, it concurred with the information Zhu Zhe leaked.“Can Xiangyu be released now?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
