Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Seeing those people leave, the young woman breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Yang, "You must be Xu Yang, right? Thank you!"

Xu Yang was stunned, "How do you know me? Has my great name really spread to the beautiful country?"

Chen Ling laughed, "You invested in YTXC company with Wang Xiaocong, Liu Qiangxi, and Ma Huateng, launching an AI companion and causing a global sensation. I haven't seen you, but I have looked up some information about you. Here in the beautiful country, there's no one else I can think of accompanying Wang Xiaocong but you."

Xu Yang nodded, "I see."

Wang Xiaocong came over and said, "Then why didn't you call out to him, but shouted my name instead?"

Chen Ling hurriedly said, "Wang Xiaocong, thank you, you're more recognizable. I spotted you right away and didn't notice Xu Yang just now."

Wang Xiaocong nodded, "I see. Who were those people, anyway? How could they think of forcibly taking you away in broad daylight?"

Chen Ling became angry as she spoke, "The leader is the son of the Louis Family — one of the four major families in Newark. He's always been arrogant and domineering due to his status, causing trouble without any consequences."

The Louis Family, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were naturally aware of, having a very good relationship with the Brook Family.

Wang Xiaocong said, "I heard you just now; it seems he likes you and wants you to be his girlfriend, right? Being his girlfriend doesn't seem like a bad thing, does it?"

Chen Ling grew even more irritated, "He doesn't truly like me; it's just an excuse to get something I have."

Wang Xiaocong's eyebrows raised in a somewhat gossipy manner, "You have something he wants? What kind of thing is it that makes him act like this in broad daylight? Could it possibly be evidence that would ruin his reputation?"

He thought of something like a private video, similar to the one Xu Yang had shown him before, featuring Li Guangming.

Chen Ling said, "It's not any evidence; my team and I have developed a new technology. He wants to take this technology for himself by any means necessary."

Wang Xiaocong curiously asked, "What kind of new technology that makes him resort to such measures?"

Chen Ling said somewhat proudly, "My team and I have been developing a new technology that, if widely adopted, will yield huge economic benefits. It's nearly successful, and he wants to seize this technology."

Wang Xiaocong asked curiously, "May I ask what this new technology is?"

Chen Ling replied, "A fresh water treatment technology. With this technology, the cost of converting seawater into fresh water will be greatly reduced, potentially solving the shortage of water resources for humanity."

Wang Xiaocong said, "If he dares to do this now, aren't you and your team in great danger? This is the beautiful country—he can utilize a lot of power here, and there are many opportunities. You wouldn't even be able to resist, would you?"

Chen Ling said with distress, "Exactly, we wanted to return to our country, but found it impossible. The moment we go to the airport, they're sure to catch us. Right now, we can only hide. I came back to the school today to check some data and ran into him. If it weren't for you two, I would have been in a terrible situation."

Wang Xiaocong asked with confusion, "Can't you ask the embassy for help?"

Chen Ling shook her head, "It's no use. We tried; we were already on the plane, but he actually used his connections to ground the flight. We couldn't leave even if we wanted to. The embassy can't forcibly intervene, they can only try to resolve the issue through communication, so we've been stuck here."

Wang Xiaocong frowned and looked towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Wang Xiaocong said, "To see if you have a way to help this young lady. We might have ignored it if we hadn't encountered her, but now that we have, we should at least offer some help."

Chen Ling looked surprised, "Wang Xiaocong, Xu Yang, as long as you can help us get back to our country, we will definitely not forget your assistance. The fresh water technology we're developing should be ready soon. We can give you exclusive rights to it. This is definitely a huge business opportunity!"

Xu Yang gave a wry smile, "I'd like to help, but even if you take our plane back, people will probably check, right? Those guys are likely to intercept us too."

Wang Xiaocong frowned, "That's indeed the case, unless we find someone influential in the beautiful country to put pressure on the Louis Family and make them back off."

Xu Yang said helplessly, "So it's not that we don't want to help. In the past, we could ask for help from the Hongmen, but now with our relationship with the Hongmen being this way, I doubt they would be willing to help. Besides, this matter involves huge interests, and I'm afraid even if the Grand Master of Hongmen intervened, it would be of no use."

They really couldn't help.

Right now, as they confront the Brook Family, they have to form alliances and make significant sacrifices.

And taking on the Louis Family, that would definitely be out of the question.

Wang Xiaocong said to Chen Ling, "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, there's really nothing we can do. You should wait for the embassy to solve the issue. Reflect today's incident to the embassy, and let them ensure your safety, which shouldn't be a problem."

That was indeed true; after all, Huaxia wasn't what it used to be. If the embassy stepped in, the safety of Chen Ling and the others shouldn't be an issue.

However, negotiations with an embassy aren't that easy. The beautiful country can find excuses to drag things out for a long time.

And during that time, the son of the head of the Louis Family might think of other ways to deal with Chen Ling and the others to get the technology.

Chen Ling gave a wry smile. "It looks like we can only do this, then."

Xu Yang said, "Actually, you guys are quite amazing, managing to avoid being found by them. It was only because you came to this school that they were able to find you."

Chen Ling responded with a wry smile, "We just needed to find a place to hide and not go out. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to find us. After all, in such a huge city, as long as we don't show up, it's still possible to remain hidden."

Xu Yang thought for a moment and then said, "Let's exchange phone numbers. I'm quite interested in the freshwater treatment technology that you and your team have developed. If we can find a way to bring you back home, and we do manage to take you back, then I'll obtain exclusive authorization for your technology, which would be a good thing for me."

Technology is the primary productive force. Technologies like this, which can drive social progress, can definitely make a fortune as long as one has the authorization.

Helping Chen Ling and others return to their home country is certainly very difficult. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

But difficulty aside, that doesn't mean there aren't any solutions to consider.

If a solution can be found, obtaining the authorization would be very worthwhile.

"Alright," Chen Ling naturally had no objections.

They exchanged phone numbers.

Xu Yang asked, "Will it be dangerous for you to leave? Will those people follow you?"

Chen Ling shook her head, "Don't worry about that, I have it under control. Even if they do follow me, I'm confident I can lose them."

Xu Yang nodded, "Alright, if there are any problems, you can call me. We'll be in the beautiful country for a few more days. If we can't find a way to take you all back before we leave, I'll let you know."

Chen Ling replied, "Okay, thank you, goodbye."

Having said that, Chen Ling took a taxi and left.

Wang Xiaocong asked, "Are you thinking of finding a way to help her?"

Xu Yang replied, "We'll see. I haven't come up with any solutions yet. I'm mainly interested in the technology they have mastered. If we can get the authorization, we can make a lot of money. Just bringing them back home could mean a big profit; why not go for it?"

Wang Xiaocong nodded, "That's true, but I can't think of any way to help her and her companions return home."

Xu Yang said, "Let's wait and see. If we can't help, there's nothing we can do. Let's go inside to meet Richard."

The two headed towards the school.
