43: Chapter 43 Openly Selling Arms

"Wait, I missed something just now. It sounds like this is all because Pretty Country pressured and shorted oil, then wanted to buy it cheaply..."

"For this, they even mobilized the military!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly shocked.

Good heavens!

It turned out to be because of Pretty Country!

"I was wondering why this guy needed munitions! It's actually for this reason!"

"Damn it, Pretty Country is so despicable. Why bother selling munitions? They should just go fight!"

"Exactly, the high oil prices are all because of those bastards from Pretty Country!"

"Is it too late to enlist now? I have no other thoughts; I just want to go up there and take down those people from Pretty Country!"

...The crowd discussed animatedly, filled with righteous indignation.

The police and military personnel patrolling the livestream were momentarily stunned, not expecting such high enthusiasm from everyone.

At this moment, they had almost forgotten about the matter of Lin Heng selling munitions earlier.

This was a huge deal!

It could not be mishandled!

They quickly reported it up the chain.

Meanwhile, Prince Sadika of Dubai was still pleading with Lin Heng.

"Mr. Lin, we truly need your weapons. Can you sell us some? Otherwise, you wouldn't want to see the energy prices in Long Country continue to rise, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng's brow twitched slightly.

The reasoning was simple: if the oil was bought up by people from Pretty Country, then the remaining supply on the market would be too scarce.

Due to the law of supply and demand, a rise in domestic oil prices was almost inevitable.

But if there wasn't that restriction—meaning, if Pretty Country hadn't bought up so much oil—they would naturally have a fair transaction.

In that case, no one would lose out.

However, if Pretty Country used military, political, and even financial power to acquire oil at extremely low prices, then they naturally could not obtain the same goods at the same price.

Due to supply and demand, a price increase was inevitable.

Given this, Lin Heng had to consider the matter.

"Fine, I can agree to this. But I cannot directly deliver the munitions to you; you'll have to arrange that yourselves. However, I can give you a method. I've already told you some things before, so I assume you shouldn't have any other issues, right?"

"As for the orders, I've already helped you contact several manufacturers. You can order directly then; there's no need to ask me about it."

Hearing this, the Prince of Dubai was overjoyed.

"Thank you so much! You can rest assured, in the future, for oil exports to Long Country, I will definitely sell it to you at an eighty percent discount off the market price!"

"Also, rest assured, this benefit will always be active. I hope our cooperation deepens!"

"And your rebates... they are all according to the rules!"

The Prince of Dubai excitedly shook Lin Heng's hand, speaking rapidly.

His bright eyes gave people the feeling of seeing a ray of light.

The surrounding students quickly recalled what Instructor Wang had told them.

"Could it be... that the Prince of Dubai actually detests Lin Heng to the extreme? Instead of liking him?"

The crowd's brows twitched slightly.

They always felt that something wasn't quite right.

At this moment, Instructor Wang's eyes widened...

Holy crap?

This guy is openly selling munitions!

Are arms dealers this arrogant now?!

The key point is, this is happening right inside their university!

Even more shocking!

Hiss...!

Instructor Wang took a sharp breath, deeply shaken internally.

"Instructor Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Soon, someone noticed Instructor Wang's condition and subconsciously asked with concern.

What's wrong? Lin Heng is playing a big game; he's started selling munitions!

And he asks what's wrong!

"Be careful, everyone. Lin Heng is an arms dealer. I heard his entire conversation with that Prince of Dubai just now. You must be careful of this person, Lin Heng, or you won't even know how you died!"

Instructor Wang looked grave.

Huh?

The crowd was astonished.

They glanced at Lin Heng's harmless face.

Could this guy possibly be an arms dealer?

They initially thought the rumors were false, but now it was confirmed.

"Didn't he sell gas canisters? How did he switch to selling munitions?"

The crowd whispered their doubts.

At the same time, they felt extremely surprised.

It was already considered remarkable for someone from their University of Economics and Trade to secure an international order, but Lin Heng was directly dealing in munitions.

He was completely maximizing the strength of their Longdu University of Economics and Trade.

The livestream audience was equally shocked.

"Holy crap?! Is this real? This guy is selling munitions right in front of so many of us?"

"He even has orders?!"

"Are armories this outrageous now?"

"Do you think it might be Lin Heng's own armory?"

"Damn! The brother upstairs is getting more and more ridiculous. How could heavy weaponry be entrusted to a private enterprise? Is he crazy?"

"..."

The shock in the livestream was continuous, comments flooding in like snow.

Su Xueer also felt a wave of shock.

She used to think the investigation was wrong and that Lin Heng was being framed, but she never expected things to be this exaggerated; everything was true.

Confirmed right in front of so many people.

"Lin Heng! You are trafficking munitions, I am reporting you right now!"

"You arms dealer, you have too much nerve, daring to do business inside our Longdu University of Economics and Trade!"

Soon, a voice rang out.

It turned out to be that pot-bellied instructor with the receding hairline.

When these words were spoken, everyone nearby looked over in shock.

Because Instructor Wang used English, everyone present understood.

Upon hearing the three words 'arms dealer,' their complexions instantly changed, and then everyone backed away toward a corner, looking at the seemingly harmless Lin Heng ahead with terror.

Suddenly, Lin Heng became the focus of everyone's attention.

Of course, so did the Prince of Dubai.

However, the audience in the livestream was thoroughly amused.

"So what if he sells munitions? That's for world peace! Daring to raise our oil prices—isn't that trying to take our lives?"

"Exactly! We can barely survive. I don't care who you are! You're getting what you deserve!"

"Forget selling them munitions, I'd even volunteer to carry a gun for him!"

"..."

Instructor Wang puffed out his round belly.

At the same time, he yelled at the Prince of Dubai: "And you! Daring to come to Long Country to buy munitions, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"I've already called the police. You all just wait for them to arrive!"

The Prince of Dubai looked like his cover had been blown; his expression wasn't very good.

He had heard that buying or selling munitions in Long Country was a major offense. Even though he was a prince, he couldn't escape the rules here in Long Country.

"Mr. Lin..."

"What should we do now?"

In response, Lin Heng said calmly:

"Don't panic. We haven't broken any laws, so what's there to fear?"
