The organizing unit of the Global Cutting-Edge Technology Expo was originally a small but technologically powerful country in Central Europe, which has consistently advocated for non-profit technological exchanges as its purpose for hosting.
However, this year's Global Cutting-Edge Technology Expo was awarded the hosting qualification under strong demands and political maneuvering from America, which is responsible for all venue and reception affairs.
For the participating countries, accommodations were uniformly arranged at the headquarters of a high-end chain hotel that has consistently ranked among the Fortune 500—the Hilton Hotel.
The passage of time and the accumulation of history have given this building a particularly rich cultural atmosphere.
It is evident that America places great importance on this global cutting-edge technology exhibition, striving to showcase its strength in every aspect.
"Welcome, sir, to the Hilton Hotel!"
The server's smile was very appropriate, dressed in a clean suit that gave off a sense of purity. His expression was warm yet not obsequious; he did not presumptuously approach to take their luggage, as it contained confidential materials that were beyond his reach.
Following the guidance of the hotel manager, Ji Yuan and his group found their room.
The decor of the room was very elegant, with an intricately carved ceiling light casting a soft yellow glow. The aroma of wood carvings lingered in the air without any hint of decay; almost every decorative item appeared to be restored to resemble a work of art.
The oil painting hanging on the wall is bright and warm, giving a faint sense of tranquility, making one feel as if they are looking at fields, wastelands, distant mountains, and the sea, instantly relaxing the mind.
Ji Yuan hung his coat on the hanger, while Ling Ziqian waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers began checking various equipment in the room.
From the ceiling to every tiny corner, they inspected almost inch by inch.
Although everyone knew that America was unlikely to use such unorthodox methods, no one dared to let their guard down. For America, if they really did something like this, the potential cost would be too great!
If it could be done without anyone noticing, that would be fine, but once discovered or exposed, America's reputation would suffer tremendous damage.
"Report! No listening devices found!"
"Alright, everyone stay alert tonight. While ensuring the safety of the entire research team, also protect all materials securely." Ling Ziqian instructed some soldiers to go out and stand guard while others could rest first and then rotate shifts at the designated time.
Ling Ziqian walked to the window and slightly lifted the frame, squinting as he gazed into the distance. After several minutes, he finally spoke:
"I checked everything, and there shouldn't be any problems in the room. There are no watchers in the distance either. However, we still cannot let our guard down; we must take any signs of doubt seriously!"
Not only is Ji Yuan attending the Global Cutting-Edge Technology Expo for the first time, but Ling Ziqian is as well. He doesn't want to cause any trouble that could lead to failure and give the American people an opportunity to take advantage of them.
He is very aware of Ji Yuan's importance to the entire Eastern nation. This is a national treasure-level figure; any mishap would undoubtedly be a significant loss for the entire Eastern country! Their entire security team would also bear the brunt of their superiors' anger at the first moment!
They cannot afford to take that risk! Especially at this critical juncture, no one can guarantee whether certain extreme politicians in America might take a crazy step.
Seeing Ling Ziqian more nervous than himself, Ji Yuan couldn't help but pat his shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous; the Deputy Minister told me yesterday that although you are young, you have the demeanor of a great general!"
In times of great events, one must maintain calmness. This is something he learned from various leaders. No matter what major event occurs, the first thing is not to panic and certainly not to lose composure; one must be adept at sorting out the facts and analyzing the situation.
Speculated Development Process.
"You have no idea how many people want your life!" Clearly, Ling Ziqian did not have that kind of calm.
He was the chief commander responsible for protecting Ji Yuan. From the beginning of the chip project, those ambitious wolves infiltrated everywhere. Even after the defense team made an example out of some, they still did not give up their arrogance.
Ji Yuan felt a bit of a headache. "That was in our country. There, they could send various mercenaries to kidnap, assassinate, or even ambush me across mountains and seas. But here, do they dare to act against me openly?
Countless countries are watching. I am now a business card of a great Eastern nation. If anything happens to me, America's national credibility will be completely ruined... In my opinion, they might gather intelligence, but unless they are insane, they wouldn't attempt to assassinate me. It would be surprising if they even deployed heavy troops to protect me."
However, the Deputy Minister said that the core leadership had already made it clear: if anything happened to Ji Yuan in America, it would mean that the two countries were on a countdown to war.
Currently, America is not prepared and would never rashly initiate conflict, giving others a handle to grasp.
