Chapter 529 Crisis 4 lurks

Hua Yan returned the pony to the stable owner and then followed Taiji and Hu Zhiang back to the villa.

"Jiu'er, you're finally back. Where did you go to play? These two young men are worried sick."

Liu Liang wasn't worried about Hua Yan. Although the garden was quite large, he felt that there was no danger that Hua Yan couldn't handle at the moment.

"It would be such a waste not to visit such a beautiful garden. By the way, Uncle Liang, Uncle Xin, were you looking for me?"

Hua Yan felt a sense of lingering satisfaction.

"Hmm! I have a lot to tell you. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."

An Xin saw that Ai Xin had already set out the food and decided that it wouldn't make a difference if she waited a little longer.

"Sister Xin, this is too much."

Hua Yan looked at the things on the table and couldn't help but swallow hard.

It's winter in New York City now, but the table is covered in greenery.

"Jiu'er, we have to thank Taiji for this. He told me that there were vegetable greenhouses in his hometown, so I asked him for advice and got a piece of land. I didn't expect it to be so successful. We can eat vegetables even in winter."

Liu Liang had previously chatted with Taiji about vegetable greenhouses, so after buying this estate, he considered becoming self-sufficient. He wanted to grow not only crops but also vegetables.

When he bought the estate, he also took over the workers, so he wasn't worried about who would do the work.

"Uncle Liang, I think there's still a lot of grain in the granary!"

"Yes! They're all from our own crops."

Liu Liang's face was full of pride.

“I think this estate is quite functional. Could you keep an eye out for the land next to it? Are there any plots for sale? I’d like to buy more land so I can not only grow crops but also raise livestock and develop a greenhouse business.”

What Hua Yan didn't say was that she wanted to use this place as her base for developing her power. Because in Country A, there's a high degree of freedom; as long as you don't break the law, no one will interfere.

If possible, this is the birthplace of Huayan's foray into world politics, military affairs, economics, and culture.

For China to achieve long-term stability and prosperity, understanding the world is an essential task. We must never isolate ourselves from the world; otherwise, the situation of being bullied by world powers at the end of the Qing Dynasty will repeat itself.

"Okay! I'll keep an eye on it."

Liu Liang and the others knew that Hua Yan's reasons were all plausible, and that she definitely had a bigger plan.

After dinner, the group went to the conference room. Hua Yan explained to Taiji their current arrangements in Country A, revealing that his computer science major and his minor in physics were both intended to support her power group.

"Ninth Master, Glory has injected a large amount of funds into us, and the preliminary preparations for the military factory have been completed. We are currently disassembling and manufacturing the machine gun you provided."

Jonathan had high expectations for the arms factory, and he collected some gun samples from other sources to discuss manufacturing them with me.

I haven't replied to him yet, I thought I'd let you know first.

Liu Liang explained the important matter on his side.

"Yes! Now that we've established a military factory, we can't just produce one type of product. If there are other suitable ones, we can consider producing them."

Hua Yan's goal is to control the source of guns in Country A.

"Ninth Master, may I take a look at the guns you're currently producing?"

When Hu Zhiang heard that Hua Yan had a military factory, he immediately became interested and even changed how he addressed her.

“Okay, Uncle Liang, take the guns you want to produce to Brother Zhiang and let him give us his opinion.”

The AK12 in Hua Yan's space was obtained by Hu Zhiang from special channels in his previous life for Hua Yan's safety.

In his previous life, Hu Zhiang was interested in firearms; perhaps he could offer some good suggestions.

"Okay! I'll show it to you right away."

Liu Liang was taken aback for a moment when he heard Hua Yan say that, but he quickly realized what she meant and immediately got up and went out.

"Ninth Master, I also have quite a few situations on my side."

In country A's red-light district, we gathered information on many political figures, the highest-ranking of whom was surprisingly the Minister of Finance. Here are the details.

We also discovered that Country A sent a group of people to China under the guise of international students to engage in espionage. Here are their details.

Some artists from country A are trying to corrupt the Chinese people culturally, and I feel this might be orchestrated by the government.

We also discovered that they have a special organization that contacts living Buddhas in western Tibet and Uyghur Turkic elements.

We also discovered that a religious leader in China had frequent contact with political figures in Country A, but we did not obtain the specific details.

......"

After saying that, An Xin handed a notebook to Hua Yan, which contained all the information he had collected.

"Uncle Xin, arrange for two people to monitor this sect leader, especially who he has been in contact with, besides people from country A, who else is he in contact with?"

Hua Yan suspects this might be an anti-government cult that culturally erodes the Chinese people, leading to blind worship and obedience to their every command. It's possible they might be behind next year's unrest.

Hua Yan didn't want the events of her past life to happen again, because there were many innocent civilians and students there who were being used by these people. They had the intention of doing what was best for the country, but they ended up being their pawns.

"Good! We will keep a close eye on that sect leader."

We also discovered that some political figures in some European countries were in contact with Chinese people. We also investigated those Chinese people, and many of them were government officials. They came out under the guise of inspection, but there was no indication of any actual inspection. It seemed that they came out just to meet these foreign political figures.

......"

An Xin gave a detailed report on his recent work, including his own analysis, but most of it was an objective statement.

"Okay! Uncle Xin, arrange a group of people for me in China. Investigate everyone mentioned in your notebook thoroughly."

Next, you'll likely be traveling all over the world. If you discover any problems, report them to me immediately.

Hua Yan seemed to sense the approaching great battle.

"it is good!"

An Xin sensed Hua Yan's nervousness.

"Uncle Xin, Brother Zhiang is a specialist in intelligence studies and also has a minor in combat command. He may be of great help to you in many ways."

There's no need to doubt Zhi'ang's character. He's the teacher I found for you and Uncle Liang. Don't let his young age fool you; he knows just as much as I do. I hope you'll respect him.

Hua Yan clearly laid out Hu Zhiang's position in front of An Xin.

"Ninth Master, we will respect Mr. Hu as much as we respect you."

An Xin then realized that Hu Zhi'ang's political status was incomparable to his and Liu Liang's. Because he inherently held Hu Zhi'ang in awe, he made his assurance without any hesitation.

Hu Zhiang, who was sitting next to her, was momentarily dazed when he suddenly heard Hua Yan say this about him. He couldn't help but sigh that Jiu'er truly trusted him without any pretense.

"Ninth Master, I..." Hu Zhiang wanted to say something.

"Ninth Master, the gun is here."

At this moment, Liu Liang returned, and Hu Zhiang had no choice but to shut up.

Taking the pistol from Liu Liang, Hu Zhiang raised an eyebrow. How did they get an AK-12? Judging by the timeline, they shouldn't have even developed one yet!

Hu Zhiang glanced at Liu Liang and asked in a low voice:

Who provided this gun?

"This was provided to us by Ninth Master."

Liu Liang had no idea about the intricacies involved and simply told the truth.

Hearing that it was provided by Hua Yan, Hu Zhiang frowned slightly, as if something wanted to break through the barrier, but it was still ruthlessly blocked.

"Brother Zhiang, this is what I got from Country R."

Hua Yan couldn't say that this was something you gave me in my past life, so she had to lie.

But Liu Liang knew that when he got the gun, Hua Yan had never been to R country.

Haha! Maybe he went there but didn't know. That was the only way Liu Liang could console himself.

Hu Zhiang didn't dwell on this issue because he didn't believe his conjecture was true; otherwise, it would be too incredible.

Taiji had no idea that the gun existed, so he had no right to speak.
