Zhang Beixing took a cue from Sophia Zhou and asked.
Upon hearing this, Sophia Zhou was stunned for a mont.
Then she nodded and said, "Yes."
It's not that she was worrying needlessly, but up until now.
The developnt of events has destined the final result to be like this.
Under the instigation of Western countries, those foreigners have already wholeheartedly believed that Zhang Beixing's Extraordinary thod is sothing everyone can learn, and everyone can transcend.
Therefore, if Zhang Beixing can't eventually deliver the Extraordinary thod.
This group of greedy foreign wolves will definitely not let it go.
They will cling to Zhang Beixing until they get what they want from him, or until they completely devour him.
Naturally, Zhang Beixing was well aware of this.
Yet he let out a sneer, dismissing it with disdain.
He looked at Sophia Zhou:
"So what?"
"Is this sothing worth worrying about?"
"Do you really think their uproar matters?"
"I'm in Great Xia right now; do they dare to make a move against in Great Xia?"
"Even if we take a step back, if they really manage to stir up trouble in Great Xia, do you think they'll stay as united as they are now?"
Zhang Beixing fired off a series of questions.
Sophia Zhou was left speechless by the questioning, remaining silent for quite a while.
Only after a mont did she co to her senses, looking at Zhang Beixing, and tentatively asked: "So... Beixing, you've already got a solution for this?"
"Naturally! Given their situation, it's all thunder and no rain; with just a slight move, they'll scatter without even needing to attack!"
Zhang Beixing replied, his tone arrogant and not regarding them at all.
The reason for his confidence.
On one hand, cos from the strength of Great Xia and his own, giving him ample confidence to fear no trickery.
On the other hand, it's because of this public opinion!
Undeniably, under the rampant promotion by those Western countries.
Zhang Beixing has indeed beco the target, with everyone eager to get the Extraordinary thod from him.
They'll use any ans for it.
But...
Then what?
The reason this group can gather is purely driven by interests.
It doesn't an their hearts are united.
Thus, making their 'unity' today
nothing but a castle in the air, a handful of sand.
Just a slight gap, and they'll scatter, without posing any threat.
Sophia Zhou didn't know Zhang Beixing had thought this far.
She only saw how confident Zhang Beixing was about this, nodded, and was just about to say 'Okay, I understand' when.
"Ring—"
The phone rang in Zhang Beixing's pocket.
Hearing it, Zhang Beixing took out his phone and looked closely.
It turned out the caller was the deputy commander of the Central Region, Zhang Delin.
Seeing this,
Zhang Beixing gestured a hush sign to Sophia Zhou.
He answered the phone and put it to his ear.
Then heard Zhang Delin say: "Comrade Zhang, have you seen the news online?"
"I have. Is there sothing up, Commander Zhang?"
"Of course there is. Right now, there's imnse pressure on the state. Those Western countries have co looking for us, demanding that you hand over the secrets of the Transcendent thod. This matter has alard the upper echelons. So, I'm here to ask, what do you think about this matter?"
"What I think... it's not quite convenient to discuss this over the phone. Why don't we talk in person?"
After a brief consideration, Zhang Beixing said.
After all, this is a serious matter, not quite secure to discuss over the phone.
He could ensure nothing would happen on his end, but what about Zhang Delin's?
Through the background noise, Zhang Beixing could vaguely hear it was quite lively on the other end.
Evidently in a bustling area.
Better safe than sorry, especially if the walls have ears, it would be bad.
Realizing this, Zhang Delin also understood his concern and imdiately responded: "Alright, I'm still in Shishi. Comrade Zhang, where are you, I'll co to find you."
"In my office."
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
With that, Zhang Delin hung up the call.
Zhang Beixing put the internal phone back in his pocket and looked at Sophia Zhou beside him.
Recalling she was about to say sothing to him earlier, he asked: "Sorry, Sophia, what were you about to say before?"
"Nothing." Sophia Zhou shrugged helplessly: "I was just about to say, if you need any help, just let know. I can help you find contacts, but with Commander Zhang calling, it seems like you won't need anymore."
"Ah, next ti for sure."
Zhang Beixing said, then started chatting about other matters with Sophia Zhou while waiting for Zhang Delin.
Half an hour later.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
A heavy knocking sound ca from the door.
Upon hearing it, Sophia Zhou stood up sensibly and walked to the door, opening it.
Seeing Zhang Delin at the door, she saluted him and said, "Hello, Officer," before stepping aside to make way.
Once he entered the room, she stepped out, closed the door, and waited quietly outside.
During this ti, Zhang Beixing poured a cup of tea, and after Zhang Delin sat down, pushed it in front of him, smiling slightly:
"Commander Zhang, why does the country always co to for such big matters, asking for my opinion?"
"Is it that I really need to make the decisions, or do you already have a plan and just co to for formality?"
