332: Chapter 332 Wasn't he driven away?
Long Anyou spoke, tears streaming down his face.
Who could have imagined that he, the dignified Director of the Longan Bureau, would fall to such a state...
And to be seen by so many of his colleagues and subordinates—it was a disgrace that reached his ancestral home.
However...
Despite this, those Black men were not very receptive.
They let out a cold snort.
"Hmph! I've seen plenty of people like you. You all claim to know our National Advisor..."
"But in reality, you are all just liars!"
"Look, those people up ahead are also claiming to be friends of the National Advisor. They can even state the National Advisor's home address, and they can recite his ID number. What can you people even claim?"
As he spoke, the Black soldiers gestured with their chins toward a pigsty ahead and said:
At that moment, Long Anyou and the others clearly saw the Southeast Asian yellow-skinned people up ahead desperately pleading.
It was apparent they were leaders of a pyramid scheme involved in telecom fraud. They were articulate and persuasive, even more so than Long Anyou's group.
When facing those Black soldiers, they were truly silver-tongued.
However, the Black soldiers soon just quietly put away their pistols and shook their heads helplessly.
The other party thought they had a chance and just showed a hint of a smile, unaware that what awaited him next was a storm of blows.
Wails erupted.
That pyramid scheme leader was quickly beaten until he was bruised all over, and the pigsty immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, Long Anyou and the others subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and their complexions shifted subtly.
"See, they also claimed to know our National Advisor."
A Black man nearby pointed in that direction.
At that moment, the other party showed no further signs of movement.
Upon hearing this, Long Anyou and the others immediately showed awkward expressions and repeatedly waved their hands: "Hahaha, we were joking earlier. We don't know any Lin Heng at all. We were just out traveling, trying to relax..."
"Oh..."
The Black soldiers just nodded faintly and paid them no further attention.
In any case, the final destination for these people was to be sent to the modernization construction efforts in Africa.
They still needed to ensure they had relatively healthy bodies first.
Soon, a group of people suddenly walked in from outside.
"National Advisor!"
Someone suddenly shouted!
Upon hearing the commotion, the expressions of the others quickly changed, and they immediately became respectful.
Huh!?
Such a grand procession?
Long Anyou was momentarily stunned.
They all immediately turned in unison toward where the sound originated.
And then, they immediately noticed a familiar figure.
Lin Heng!
This guy...!
Long Anyou's mouth twitched.
Surrounded by adulation! This was the only phrase Long Anyou could think of to describe Lin Heng.
At this moment, those Black soldiers were exceedingly respectful toward Lin Heng.
As Lin Heng walked over, every single one immediately bowed ninety degrees, looking as if they wanted to stick their rear ends out for others to see!
The prisoners inside the pigsty also widened their eyes at this sight.
Good heavens... Anyone who didn't know might think these were the masters of the Republic of Africa.
Oh no... Even the masters of the Republic of Africa might not command such respect!
It would be more accurate to say these soldiers held Lin Heng as their spiritual faith!
The most shocked were Long Anyou and his group.
Because they genuinely knew Lin Heng!
"No wonder... No wonder Lin Heng is unwilling to return to the Dragon Country. If I had such high treatment here, I wouldn't go back either."
Soon, someone in Long Anyou's team whispered quietly.
However, he wasn't the only one with this sentiment; nearly everyone felt the same way!
And soon, Lin Heng arrived at the location where Long Anyou and the others were.
The Black soldier who had been lecturing Long Anyou and the others was immediately startled and snapped to attention in a rigid military posture.
"National Advisor!"
Giving Lin Heng a standard military salute, the Black soldier shouted with full force.
"Mm..."
Lin Heng nodded slightly, then his gaze quickly fell upon those behind him.
At first glance, they were all his old acquaintances.
"Director Long? It really is you?"
Lin Heng expressed slight doubt.
But he quickly became enthusiastic.
Meeting an acquaintance from his homeland in a foreign land—that kind of fate was truly unmatched!
Lin Heng was also slightly happy.
However, Long Anyou and the others were not so happy.
After all, their current predicament was probably the biggest stain on their lives, and it was seen by Lin Heng of all people.
If it were someone else, perhaps they wouldn't have cared much. But this person was Lin Heng!
If it were others, seeing it wouldn't matter; they would never have any interaction with them again anyway. But Lin Heng was Lin Heng!
The concept was completely different!
Just imagine.
If, in the future, while sitting in a seat in the State Council, they were discussing their past experiences, and Lin Heng suddenly interjected, "I once saw Director Long in a pigsty," how would that look?
Long Anyou and the others' mouths twitched, and their expressions were far from pleasant.
But facing Lin Heng, he still responded with a somewhat stiff expression.
"Ahaha... I didn't expect to run into you here. I told you, I really know Lin Heng. See, these Black soldiers didn't quite believe it."
At least their lives were saved, and they wouldn't have to go dig potatoes at the Eden Plantation. This was good news for everyone.
Let them be embarrassed; at least they wouldn't be unable to return to the Dragon Country now.
"National Advisor... You really know each other?"
The Black soldier was startled, and his expression turned bitter as he spoke.
Looking at his dark face, it was nearly fading in color.
"Yes, we know each other. We have quite a bit of friendship back in the Dragon Country."
Lin Heng nodded.
Upon hearing this, the soldier was so frightened that he quickly opened the gate of the pigsty.
Actually, the enclosure was less than 1.5 meters high. The people inside could leave whenever they wanted; even a small child might not be contained by it.
The so-called 'gate' was merely a decoration.
The real threat was just these Black soldiers guarding the entrance.
Soon, Long Anyou and the others were released, and their complexions finally eased considerably.
Looking at the spirited Lin Heng, Long Anyou licked his dry lips and asked subconsciously.
"Lin Heng, I heard you recently took over the entire Africa?"
He asked with a mix of belief and doubt.
This was before he boarded the ship.
He heard that Lin Heng had fought a brilliant battle and swept through all of Africa. At the time, he had genuinely worried for Lin Heng.
"Did the Pretty Country's naval fleet pose a threat to you?"
"Ah?"
Lin Heng was momentarily confused.
He quickly replied:
"Weren't they already beaten and run away by us?"
