Chapter 652 Instigating
The president nodded and smiled without saying a word.
He was like a wolf.
Many people looked at me. I didn’t say anything. I wanted to hear what they had to say.
Someone behind the president said loudly, “This island should belong to the president. We should make a rule that the island belongs to whoever becomes the president!”
Someone retorted, “That’s just wrong. Our island is a private island, so the ownership is private.”
“So what? Since it’s private, then it can be bought and sold. We can buy it and let Mr. President manage it. We are an autonomous country.”
Everyone was talking at once.
The vice president’s side was not willing to be outdone. “If that’s the case, then why don’t we compete for it! The one with the highest price will get it!”
“Exactly. Since the buyer will become president, then we can all compete for the presidency. How is that democratic?”
I met Tong Hui’s half-smiling gaze and shrugged at him. I wasn’t the least bit angry at these ignorant people’s shameless boasting.
Gu Nian’s expression was unsightly. He tapped the microphone and motioned for everyone to quiet down. “I thought I would hear some fair voices, but I didn’t expect everyone to have the same thoughts. We’re standing on someone else’s Island but thinking about how to force the owner to sell the island and chase her out. Everyone, isn’t that a bit unsightly?”
The hall fell silent for a moment.
“Master Liu, are you taking Master Qi’s side?” Master Wei Wu asked coldly.
Gu Nian was neither servile nor overbearing. “I’m on truth and reason’s side.”
Master Wei Wu laughed coldly. “How ludicrous. Then, what is your opinion regarding Nanxing’s malicious assault on the islanders?”
Gu Nian refused to budge. “Master Wu, do you have evidence of that? As I said, I’m on the side of the truth. If Master Wu has evidence, just bring it out and let everyone judge.”
Master Wei Wu continued to sneer. “What’s the point of that? Everyone agrees that she’s unruly and unruly. This is because she has no parents to educate her!”
Gu Nian was so angry that she took a step forward.
Tong Hui, on the other hand, said unhurriedly, “Master Wu, you’re right. This niece of mine lacked family education because her parents died young. She has made a fool of herself. Why don’t I apologize to everyone? This child has been living by my side for the past few years. However, she was swindled away by someone with evil intentions. All the teachings I gave her were undone. This really makes me sad. Regarding this island, everyone can bid on it. It’s only fair that the highest bidder gets it. As for Nanxing… I want to take her with me and train her for a few more years.”
What a load of rubbish. He had also turned Jing Tian into a human trafficker.
“Where do you want to take her?” A clear voice suddenly came from the door.
I stood up in surprise and looked toward the door.
My handsome little uncle was walking in through the door with my friend Mai Qi by his side.
“Little uncle, why did you come back?” I blurted out.
My little uncle walked up to me and looked at me. “How can I leave when you’re here? Should I just leave you here to be bullied?”
His pupils were dark.
I muttered, “No, little uncle. No one can bully
me.”
I didn’t want you to be bullied, silly!
I couldn’t help but look at Jing Tian and Qu Hao. They were the only ones who could persuade my little uncle.
However, the two of them were looking at my little uncle with excitement as if they were saying, “Brother, you’ve finally arrived.”
