I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1310 - They are The Perpetrators!

“What should I do if a president is dead? This is an urgent question, please respond ASAP.” (1)

It was still late at night in Xin on the other side of the Pacific Ocean when this message was sent to Jiang Chen’s watch.

The watch on the bedside table beeped and woke Jiang Chen from his sleep. He loosened his arm from Ayesha’s grasp, got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, and opened the holographic screen.

When he saw Lilith’s message, his sleepiness instantly vanished. He quickly put on his clothes and went to the office next door.

“What the hell is going on? Which president died? Didn’t I tell you to look after Zhang Yaping?” Jiang Chen asked with a headache as he looked at the expressionless Lilith.

It may be that Jiang Chen’s tone was too harsh, but Lilith began to explain quickly.

“Zhang Yaping is probably fine… the Colombian President died.”

Jiang Chen was stunned.

The Colombia President? What happened?

“Wait,” Jiang Chen pinched his eyebrows as he felt a growing headache, “Tell me everything that happened?”

Lilith sighed and told him the whole story.

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time and couldn’t help but curse in his mind.

He calculated every step but this one. Even now, he still didn’t get why the Colombian President was in the Xin delegation vehicle. When did Colombia treat Xin so diligently?

How did he know that everything was for the sake of 50 billion Xin New dollars…?

“The assassins who planned and carried out the attack were the remnants of the Kurofune. A total of four people participated in the attack and all of them possessed some form of superpowers. Your intelligence was wrong, and it was not the CIB who did it,” Lilith added.

“If I say it was the CIB who did it, then it must have been the CIB. They must have done this.” Jiang Chen rubbed his eyebrows as tried to subside his headache before he sat down. “Let’s not talk about this. Where are you now?”

“I am on a UA military helicopter now.”

“You were caught by the UA Army?” Jiang Chen was taken aback.

“No, I just made them think they caught me. I followed them onto the helicopter and took care of everything.” Lilith was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Chen’s choice of words as she corrected him while piloting the Black Hawk helicopter. “I have flown out of Bogota now, and will be in the rainforest of the western Andes in two hours. I have posted the specific latitude and longitude on your watch. Hurry up and send someone to pick me up.”

The SEAL Team 5 rappelled down on the streets of Bogota immediately controlled Lilith.

Lilith obediently followed them onto the helicopter, and then took care of them all shortly after the helicopter took off. She kicked the pilot out of the cabin. She was in the pilot seat, turned off the GPS navigation system, grasped the control skillfully, and flew towards the Andes.

“You can pilot helicopters?” Jiang Chen was surprised.

“Well, as long as I can look up the tutorial, this kind of variable does not trouble me,” Lilith controlled the helicopter as she responded with swagger.

“Do you still have enough fuel?”

“There is about half a tank, what’s wrong?” Lilith asked.

“If you have enough fuel, go directly to Ecuador,” Jiang Chen ordered.

“I’m afraid I’ll get shot down by air defense missiles at the border,” Lilith replied.

“Don’t be afraid. I will contact Ecuador right now, and they will at least do this much for me.” After Jiang Chen deliberated for a moment, he continued, “After you descend, immediately go to the nearest Xin Embassy or Consulate. I will let the people at the embassy know and someone will arrange for your return home as soon as possible.”

Regardless, the priority was to bring back this troublemaker.

The rest was out of her control.

After Jiang Chen ended the communication, he immediately contacted the Ecuador Embassy as well as the Colombia Embassy. After he made sure any problems Lilith could encounter were taken care of, he confirmed Zhang Yaping’s status with the embassy.

After he learned that President Zhang was fine, Jiang Chen was relieved. He hung up the phone and leaned back on his chair.

The door of the room was pushed open. Ayesha, in her nightgown, brought two cups of hot cocoa in.

“Thank you.” He took the steaming hot cocoa from Ayesha, then took a sip. He felt somewhat refreshed as he looked at her apologetically, “I’m sorry I woke you up.”

“It’s okay,” Ayesha shook her head gently. She then walked behind Jiang Chen, placed her small hands on his shoulders, and whispered in a concerned tone, “What happened? You look very anxious.”

“Well, something happened on Lilith’s side.” Jiang Chen nodded, and then briefly recounted the tragedy that happened on the streets of Bogota just a few minutes ago.

After she listened to the story, she pointed out the crux of the problem.

“We must blame this on the CIB.”

“I think so too.” With both hands surrounding the cup as he felt the warmth in his hands, Jiang Chen sorted out the thoughts in his head and said in a deep voice, “We must fabricate evidence that the CIB did this before they put the blame on us. We must ensure we can put the blame on them.”

In a few more hours, the tragedy in Bogota would make headlines in major media around the world. The president of a country was killed on the street, even in the chaotic Colombia, such a bloody and terrifying tragedy had never happened before.

There were also pedestrians who were killed by the vehicles that lost control…

If Jiang Chen sat in the Capitol’s position, he would probably not let this opportunity go, and would do everything possible to put this blame on Xin. Therefore, what Xin must do now is exactly what the UA is doing. He must get ahead of the CIB. He must take advantage of the fact that the international public’s opinion does not have a preconceived impression of this incident and use the UA as a scapegoat.

Even if the CIB could not be fully blamed for the incident, he must make this situation as messy as possible.

As for the truth… it was not so important here.

“I will go to Ghost Island now to overlook this case,” Ayesha said seriously.

“It’s too late now.” Jiang Chen glanced at the dark night outside the window.

“We have to take the time difference into account. It’s daytime in the UA,” Ayesha shook her head and said softly, “From now on, every second is precious.”

Jiang Chen responded to her resolute but gentle eyes; his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

There were a lot of thankful words to say, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back and finally turned them all into sincere gratitude.

“…Thank you.”

Ayesha smiled softly, turned, and walked out of the room.

He looked at her figure disappear from the entrance before he put the cup full of hot cocoa on the table and leaned back on the chair. He then closed his eyes.

Columbia has become a gunpowder barrel.

He was not worried about the situation in Colombia, but rather worried about the UA election.

He had poured too many resources on Joseph Kennedy. If the diplomatic relations between the UA and Xin deteriorate, as a result, it would undoubtedly have a negative impact on Joseph’s election.

But if Xin chose to do nothing…

After half a minute, he opened his eyes.

He made up his mind. He clicked on the watch to call Ning Huajian, CEO of Future Technology. The media companies under Future Group were all controlled by Future Technology. After he woke Ning Huajian up, he personally assigned him the task.

No matter the method, within an hour, he must see reports on the murder of the Colombian president on the official website of Future Technology and the headlines of its media groups. Moreover, all reports must have a clear orientation, that is, to subtly hint that the perpetrator of this incident was the UA…
