Chapter 53 I disagree
"Fifteen days later?"

Yan Ning calculated the time.

"This is a very delicate time. In addition to wanting to 'exchange', I also want to find out about our family's disaster preparedness. Besides, I don't know whether these seven people on the other side are real or fake."

But it's not important.

Even if it is false, it can be forced to come true in fifteen days.

"The Americans are trying to play a trick on us, but we also have our own considerations for accepting the exchange. We also need to observe the other party's situation."

Mao Linjie sighed, "Fifteen days... the time is short and the task is heavy. You will be the main contact person at that time, so you must be prepared in advance. Most of the awakened ones are ordinary people, and they are not good at fighting and physical skills. The Americans don't know the situation... but according to this situation, I'm afraid you will take the initiative to cause trouble, so you must ensure safety."

"I'm fine." Yan Ning felt pain in his shoulder when he turned around, but she suppressed the pain without changing her expression. She raised her tone slightly, "I believe that even if I'm an awakened person, I can beat two people at once."

Mao Linjie sneered: "Don't be so funny."

But he also knew that this was the truth. As long as the opponent did not have overly aggressive abilities, Yan Ning could really beat two at once.

If the situation is the same as in China, and ordinary people are also awakened and transformed, it will be even easier.

"But I am not an awakener myself. I can only ensure that my subordinates will not be bullied. How we get along with each other depends on the leader of the other party... The name of the Foundation sounds like a big capitalist being the boss."

Yan Ning became interested: "Do you know who is the person in charge?"

Mao Linjie: "No news yet. I will inform you as soon as I get the information."

"Okay," Yan Ning didn't hesitate. As long as it wasn't the ones she had offended, it would be fine. However, she had offended many people, so it wasn't a big problem. It would just be a little troublesome. "When does the American plan to expose it?"

"Expected within a week."

"Within a week? Great, I thought it would be exposed tomorrow."

"..."

Sensing the silence of the person opposite him, Yan Ning joked, "Is my words going to come true?"

"Stop talking."

Mao Linjie also glanced over it lightly. What he wanted to talk about was not this matter.

“What I’m worried about is not that they will expose the truth, but that they will force the news into the country after exposing it, seize the right to speak before us, and even lead the public to put us in an unjust position.

“Although world public opinion is somewhat balanced now, it is still mostly controlled by Western capital.”

The right to speak is in the hands of media controllers and those with economic power. They are generally well-educated and control the media and other economic entities, and what they want to say must be related to themselves.

"When have we ever been afraid in these years? We've always been saying 'your new order has arrived'. Even I am curious about how we can maintain a low level of development and pose a threat to the whole world."

Yan Ning smiled, looked at the tall poplar trees outside the building, and said:

“But even so, it did not stop our family from developing.

“After all, these voices are like clothes, but they are just clothes.

“You can only scare off a paper tiger, but you can’t stop a real claw.”

Mao Linjie nodded and agreed with what he said: "You are right, but the public opinion on this matter concerns the hearts of our people. We must guide it in time and provide a good enough disaster response plan."

"The storage arrangements for the safe zone's fortresses, food, clothing, medicine, etc. are all proceeding in an orderly manner. Supplies are not a problem,"

"After fifteen days, if we gather fewer awakened people than the other side..."

"Even if we have fewer awakened people than them, it doesn't matter." Yan Ning heard the topic and interrupted without hesitation, turning to the topic he wanted to say:

"The Awakeners were there to add icing on the cake for disaster relief deployment from the very beginning. If our disaster relief deployment has to rely on these few people in the future, it would be a cover-up for our aging bodies, decadent spirits, and complacency.

"To put it bluntly, it's like wanting to repeat what happened a hundred years ago. I know there are heroes who will come to turn the tide, but personal heroism won't work in this disaster, and we can't just go for broke and gamble."

Mao Linjie was silent for two seconds, then sighed, "You are not just saying this for the exchange between the two countries in fifteen days, right?"

"of course not."

Yan Ning was decisive.

She spoke so elegantly, almost as if she was going to write a short essay on the spot. How could she have done it just to "put her boss at ease"?
Overtly or covertly, the sword was pointed at the two awakened people who robbed the bank.

"Do you have to take the lives of those two awakened ones?" Mao Linjie said.

"Yes."

Mao Linjie slightly emphasized his tone: "Is there no chance of recovery or redemption?"

Yan Ning was slightly startled and understood the hint.

It seems that the higher-ups really want to "raise it high and put it down gently". This is the first case of an awakened person committing a crime. Once the natural disaster is exposed and the existence of the awakened people is exposed, the truth of this robbery will soon be revealed. What should we do then?
What signal is this?
Can the awakened do whatever they want? Are the awakened a golden ticket to immunity from death?
What will happen if there are more awakened people in the future? Will there be a change of orders every day?

Even if these do not cause any serious problems, and public pressure is not a problem when the awakeners are more beneficial than harmful, then when the awakeners are no longer so important, won't the resentment accumulated before form a crazy counterattack due to fear and jealousy such as "it is a crime to possess a treasure" and "the heart of the different species must be different", and the bow will be put away when the bird is dead?
"Has the director finished his call? I'll open the porridge for her so she can drink it directly later."

"I heard that this bank robbery was done by two awakened people. Who is so bold as to take this narrow path? Hey, Brother Xia, you are involved. What exactly happened?"

"Don't worry about it. We just need to follow our director obediently. How can he treat us unfairly?"

"That's right. I just didn't understand it before. Later, Xiaomi enlightened me and I suddenly realized it! The director also found a team of experts to treat my mother's body, but the director said that the resources were not hers and asked me to thank the country..."

Yan Ning opened the window and could faintly hear the sound of casual chatting in the other room.

Yan Ning took a deep breath, feeling uncomfortable.

Some people can turn a blind eye to these things in the future that can be seen but is far away, pretend not to see them, and finally give them some compensation for their retirement.

But Yan Ning couldn't.

She didn't want to pass on this bad ending to her ambitious juniors.

Yan Ning did not answer directly, but asked in return:
"Master, if I hadn't arrived in time, would the dead have had any chance of being resurrected?

"If something similar happens again in the future, will it be covered up in the same way?"

"Then what do you mean..."

"I am the first person in charge of the Spark Project, and I disagree."

Yan Ning lowered his voice and expressed himself clearly:
"For such a group of awakened people, death is more valuable than life."

After a long silence, Mao Linjie took a deep breath and finally smiled with relief: "Okay, that's it."

He said, “We have already got the news about the two robbers, but someone has been hiding it from us because he has a fantasy to test you.

"Since you have decided not to give in, then you should personally lead your men to deal with these two people."
