Chapter 151: London (9)

As more and more media outlets joined the coverage of Mu Lin’s mysterious disappearance at his villa, the world’s attention once again focused on London, specifically at Mu Lin’s private estate. This time, the first to be exposed to the global spotlight was the Y country’s Green Beret Special Forces. Because television networks rushed to broadcast the news without editing or processing the footage sent back by reporters, the Green Berets’ advanced weaponry was suddenly revealed in broad daylight.

This initially sparked immense interest among international spies, while also giving weapons research experts a rare feast for the eyes, yielding significant insights. Most of the weapons carried by these soldiers were newly developed jointly by Y and U countries, many of which had never been publicly displayed. Now, they were directly broadcast on television, with many close-up shots revealing numerous secrets.

First, the heads of state and senior officials from Y and U countries were initially shocked by Mu Lin’s sudden unexplained disappearance. They were too preoccupied considering what losses his disappearance might bring and what consequences it could cause.

Only after being reminded by their respective national security advisors about the secrecy of these new weapons did they realize it was already too late.

Secondly, Mu Lin’s real estate company was also completely exposed to public view. Considering that Mu Lin’s clinic did not originate in Y country, yet he managed to establish his own business there, the media naturally found this intriguing. After extensive digging by journalists, all details about Mu Lin’s real estate company were finally brought to light. Fortunately, Mu Lin’s real estate company had already completed its initial capital accumulation phase and begun transforming its business model. Otherwise, this exposure alone would have brought many more competitors. As it stands, it’s as if the media provided Mu Lin’s real estate company with a free, worldwide large-scale advertisement.

As reports gradually delved deeper, the first to hold a press conference was the Y government. This time, Mu Lin fully experienced the shamelessness of politicians and the filthiness of politics.

The statements made by the Y government were basically as Mu Lin had anticipated, but with many additional elements. In their speech, they first highly praised Mu Lin and his clinic for their superb medical skills and for fully demonstrating the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded, actively treating Y country’s patients. They claimed that this time, Mu Lin had come to Y country to receive commendation from the royal family and the government—not to conduct any deals.

In their statement, the transaction they had made with Mu Lin was transformed into an honor awarded to him by the Y government for the benefit of its citizens. Not only did the previous financial terms remain unchanged, but now Mu Lin’s title had been upgraded from the small area of Butler to the prestigious region of Augustus. Mu Lin’s full title was now Count Daniel Mu Augustus, and the Augustus Royal Castle had become Mu Lin’s private property.

In their statement, Mu Lin had already been declared an honorary citizen of Y country. The Y government claimed that, upon receiving reliable intelligence, they had dispatched the Royal Army’s Green Beret Special Forces. However, due to the cunning and strength of the enemy, they still failed to rescue Count Mu Lin in time.

In their statement, the Y government also announced that after the incident occurred, the police and military of Y country had controlled all air and sea passages, calling on the entire nation to take action to find Count Mu Lin and to uncover and defeat all hidden enemies threatening Y country’s honor, pointing the finger directly at their adversaries.

After the Y government held the press conference, other countries and organizations around the world that had various conflicts with Y country issued statements condemning this act of terror in the abduction of Mu Lin, clearly distancing themselves from the incident in an effort to avoid collective international condemnation.

Suddenly, various terrorist organizations worldwide ceased their activities, not wanting to become the first target of global retaliation at such a critical moment. As a result, the security situation in many countries improved dramatically.

Meanwhile, countries friendly with Y promptly issued statements condemning the terrorist act of abducting Mu Lin and stated that once any relevant clues about the kidnapping were found, they reserved the right to unite and launch a joint strike.

As countries and organizations around the world expressed their positions, people gradually realized that no nation or group had claimed responsibility for Mu Lin’s disappearance. Thus, speculation arose about who might have abducted him.

All past news related to Mu Lin was once again dug up by the media. Upon analysis, it seemed that Asian countries showed particular interest in Mu Lin. Suddenly, the media launched widespread criticism against these small Asian countries and propagated racist narratives portraying Asians as criminals and thieves.

The media’s reporting shifted public attention toward Asians. As a result, Asian communities in London and Y country began facing extensive investigations. With media coverage fueling the situation, Y country’s police and military forces joined this investigation. Moreover, Y country’s general public widely participated in this campaign.

At this moment, white Westerners, capitalizing on Mu Lin’s disappearance, launched widespread persecution against Asians, completely ignoring the fact that Mu Lin himself was an Asian. In the eyes of the Western world, if you are better than them, you are automatically considered one of them. This was indeed a great irony.

During this special period, Mu Lin could only disguise himself as a white person to evade detection. To fully expose the ugly faces of the Y government and the royal family and to create a better living environment for future Chinese people, Mu Lin had already remained hidden like a gecko for more than 50 days.

During these more than 50 days, criminal organizations related to Asians were heavily hit. Let alone those Asian criminal groups. Under the supervision of media opinion, although no baseless accusations were made, the living environment for Asians in Western countries deteriorated sharply.

Previously, there were some anti-racial discrimination organizations in these countries, but in the current environment, for their own personal safety and organizational growth, they all chose to remain silent.

Although these Asian countries strongly protested the unfair treatment their citizens faced in the Western world, under the guidance of white-supremacist media narratives in the West, governments around the world paid little attention to these protests.
