Chapter 212 Reception
City A is located by the sea, and there is a wide river winding through the suburbs. As an internationally renowned big city, no corner of City A is deserted in broad daylight, even the suburbs.
At this time, there were cruise ships and small boats in the river, and many people were enjoying the cool air or swimming near the river bank. Seeing the fireball in the sky falling directly towards the center of the river, people screamed and ran away. Not long after, the fireball "banged" into the river, raising a wave several meters high, pushing everything in the river far away, and overturning several small boats. The people who fell into the water panicked and called for help. Faced with such a sudden change, many people on the shore could not react, but some people immediately took off their clothes and jumped into the river to rescue.
Fortunately, the river water calmed down quickly and the rescue operation went smoothly. In fact, many people in City A could swim, and after calming down, they swam back to the shore by themselves. However, no one knew what had happened and everyone was talking about it.
“Plop! Plop!”
Some people who knew about the situation secretly did not share their information with others, but jumped into the water one after another, hoping to find some alien high-tech products such as optical computers. Some people also heartlessly began to popularize science with people around them, and various rumors spread quickly.
In less than three minutes, the district police arrived at the scene with unprecedented speed, and first began to prohibit people from entering the water. Soon, several vans also pulled over staff from several nearby government offices, wearing red armbands to maintain order. Then, the local order maintainers unique to Sugar Country - the urban management officers arrived at the riverside, and with a stern face, they scolded people to obey the management.
——When the special police and armed police forces who should have performed their duties were blocked on the road by extremely bad traffic conditions, the superiors of City A mobilized all the forces they could to control the order of the riverside. They were not in a hurry to find out what had fallen into the river. The first priority was to seal off the scene and maintain order. If they sent a bunch of people in a mess, they might be able to take advantage of the situation. Before the professional search team arrived, they just needed to ensure that no one went into the water.
However, the responsibilities were unclear, the responsible leaders were uncertain, and in fact these people had no authority to manage what tourists on the riverside were doing. They had neither experience nor prestige, so even though there were not many people, it was still a mess.
Jin Yang arrived at this time.
He parked the car nearby and observed for a while. There were about one or two hundred people by the river. Most of them were sitting on the shore obediently like sheep, but some people were arguing, with two or three people pushing each other, as if they were about to fight.
There was a text message notification sound from his mobile phone. He opened it and saw that it was a photo sent by Noah. It was obviously taken secretly with the help of someone else's mobile phone. The photo showed a girl in red clothes. She was huddled in the crowd nervously, her face was pale, and there were water droplets on her hair. Her expression was full of worry and fear, and she felt like she was about to cry.
——Is it her?
Jin Yang asked this question silently in his heart, but he didn't send a message to ask. He only knew that since Noah had locked onto this girl, he naturally had a reason for doing so.
He got out of the car and walked towards the group of people. He was soon discovered. As the son of the mayor, the most famous young entrepreneur in City A, the person in charge of Yuanyang Company, the richest man in City A, and a person who appeared on the covers of various magazines from time to time, there were not many people in this city who didn't know him. Immediately, two people came up to him with smiles on their faces, and their attitude was even a little flattering.
Jin Yang's eyes first found the girl in the crowd. Almost everyone was attracted by his appearance, but the girl shrank back even more, as if she was afraid of being seen. Then he looked at the two people who were coming towards him, and a polite and gentle smile naturally appeared on his face.
"Jin sh... Jin Xian... Chairman Jin, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man walking in front changed three titles in the blink of an eye. He wanted to call him "Mr. Jin" at first, thinking that this title implied to some extent that the other party relied on his father to gain respect, and Jin Yang's achievements were at least comparable to his father's, if not exceeding; then he wanted to call him "Mr. Jin", but felt it was too unfamiliar, and Jin Yang was young and promising, so calling him Mr. seemed mature; finally he settled on "Chairman Jin", feeling very satisfied with the title, and completely ignoring the contemptuous looks from his companions behind him.
"Hello." Jin Yang shook hands with the other person with a smile on his face, as if he didn't notice that the other person's palms were sweaty, and his eyes were still full of respect and warmth. He never thought that groveling was an attitude that should be despised. When a person chooses to put down his dignity to fight for something, this effort is also respectable. Moreover, how do you know that behind the other person's flattering smile, there is no pride and persistence?
Respect is something that cannot be seen or touched. Some people can interpret respect as a show, some people can turn respect into a charity, but Jin Yang's attitude is sincere and genuine from the heart. Not everyone can clearly explain this intangible thing, but subtle feelings will not deceive people.
The middle-aged man's expression relaxed a little, and his exaggerated smile unconsciously faded a little, but it became more sincere. Jin Yang glanced at the name tag hanging on the man's coat and smiled, "Chief Lin, my friend's sister came to play and it seems that she accidentally fell into the water. I happened to be here and I will pick her up after receiving the news."
Section Chief Lin frowned imperceptibly. The order they received was to temporarily detain everyone and not allow anyone to leave with any important items. A special person would come to search and register later. But Jin Yang's father was the boss of the boss of the person who gave him the order. It was completely unnecessary to offend the other party for a little procedure. Moreover, he glanced at Jin Yang. He had a good impression of this young man and did not think he was the kind of person who would harm the interests of the country.
Section Chief Lin was still hesitating, but the fat man behind him pushed him aside without leaving any trace, and said with a big belly sticking out, "I wonder which sister of Chairman Jin's friend is this? If a little girl falls into the water and is exposed to the cold wind, she might catch a cold. Old Lin, why are you still hesitating? Let's do a quick check, register her, and then let Chairman Jin take her back."
He just despised Section Chief Lin's repeated address, but now his attitude is more positive, calling him "Chairman Jin". Section Chief Lin next to him had the same intention, so he did not object, but secretly hated the other party for stepping on him and snatching the opportunity to sell well. At this time, he could only smile and nod, indicating that he also thought so, and was very happy to lead the way for Chairman Jin.
"No need, I've already seen him." Jin Yang smiled and nodded to the two of them, then quickened his pace towards the crowd, taking off his coat and putting it on the girl in red. When he felt the girl's weak struggle and fear, he put his arm around her shoulders and said quickly in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be afraid, I'm Rong Yuan's friend Jin Yang."
The girl looked over with surprise, then pursed her lips and tears rolled down her eyes. She seemed to be eager to say something, but Jin Yang pressed her shoulder and signaled her with his eyes not to speak.
She obeyed obediently, wearing Jin Yang's coat and standing beside him with her head down. Jin Yang then realized that the girl had long legs and was very tall - even taller than him, but her expression was childish, and she looked very young.
Jin Yang took the girl out of the crowd and exchanged a few more words with Section Chief Lin. During this time, they found a female employee to search the girl to prove that she did not carry anything suspicious. Jin Yang also registered her name, age, . Of course, they were all made up on the spot, but while he was writing, Noah stuffed this information into various databases one by one without leaving a trace. In at most ten minutes, all the experiences of the girl from birth to the present will be traceable. Half an hour later, Noah can give him a set of documents including ID card, bank card, graduation certificate, etc., which are definitely more real than the real thing. Even if someone went to the school, community, etc. in her resume for field investigation, they would only get the specious conclusion that there really was such a girl.
This is the energy of Noah.
Then the two of them said goodbye, and they could vaguely hear someone behind them yelling indignantly, questioning why they could leave. Then someone introduced Jin Yang's identity to him, and the small noise soon died down - the "privileged class" has privileges, which is the social rule that many people in Tangguo take for granted. But in fact, Jin Yang rarely uses his identity to do anything, and even queues up in a disciplined manner when eating in the company cafeteria.
With this strange girl, the two got into Jin Yang's car and fastened their seat belts. In the process, he inevitably found that the girl was very unfamiliar with this means of transportation and was looking around curiously. His heart sank, and then he started the car. It was not until he mixed into the evening traffic jam and passed by several police cars with sharp sirens that he breathed a sigh of relief and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.
At this time, in order to make the show complete, Noah was still disrupting the traffic in City A, but he also helped Jin Yang so that he could get home faster. On the way, Jin Yang tried to communicate with the girl, and then they were both dumbfounded.
After finding out that Jin Yang couldn't understand her, the girl, Aimirida, changed her language to several languages, but to Jin Yang, they all sounded like: "Jili Gulu... Gulu Gulu... Gulu Gulu..."
After staring at each other for a while, the two communicated with each other with difficulty. Jin Yang found that the girl could only speak a few words in Chinese, such as "Rongyuan", "Jinyang", "Aimiruida", etc. And the few languages he could speak, none of which the girl could understand. But the girl was very worried about Rongyuan, and Jin Yang made her believe that Rongyuan was fine and would be back soon. Then he found that she couldn't even use daily utensils, and he began to teach her these things with great difficulty. Because he couldn't communicate directly, this originally simple task became several times more difficult.
So, the most urgent thing is to teach her to speak first?
…
After two or three days of hard work, Tang Guo finally pulled out the remains of a lifeboat, which was completely empty. The river section nearly a thousand meters upstream and downstream of the lifeboat landing point was salvaged, and some of the people who jumped into the water that day were repeatedly interrogated and investigated, but nothing was found.
However, everyone knows that the lifeboat that was sent to Earth with such desperate protection could not be just an empty shell. The only possibility is that the contents of the lifeboat had been moved before they searched and salvaged them thoroughly. It is just unknown whether this is because the aliens hiding in it left quietly on their own, or whether other forces played a trick under their noses.
The only thing they gained was that the technology used in the capsule was much more advanced than that on Earth, and the materials were also unheard of, all of which had great research value, but compared to their previous expectations, these things were too unsightly. Other countries did not believe that the lifeboat salvaged by the Sugar Country was empty, and they argued about it for a long time, which annoyed the top leaders of the Sugar Country, and City A was in chaos for a while.
But to the real top leaders of various countries, the lifeboat that landed on Earth in flames was just a minor detail. What they were really concerned about was the battlefield in space that had returned to silence.
