When Chu Jinyu, who was eating, heard this, her throat immediately choked. She coughed until her face turned red. Lu Ming quickly poured a glass of drinking water and handed it to her. She finally caught her breath and said, “Brother Lu Ming, are you joking with me? Or did you say something wrong? Actually, it’s an island you want to buy, right?”
It didn’t matter if he bought the island. As long as he had money, he could do it. But a country wasn’t that simple. How could he buy it just like that? Was he dreaming? Therefore, for a moment, she was in disbelief. It made her wonder if today was April Fool’s Day.
Seeing this, Lu Ming rubbed her head and said, “It’s a country.” This time, she choked on the water and coughed even harder than before. Lu Ming reacted quickly and patted her back. “Are you alright? Why are you so shocked today? Does this matter surprise you?”
“What else could it be?”
Who wouldn’t be surprised when her sweetheart suddenly said that he wanted to buy a country? Chu Jinyu straightened her back and touched his head with the back of her hand. She said, “You don’t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense? Could it be that you encountered something outside? Otherwise, why would you suddenly mention this?”
Putting aside how difficult it was to manage a country, it was also quite difficult for other countries to acknowledge the country they had established. Although Brother Lu Ming was indeed very powerful, he couldn’t be that powerful, right? Just thinking about it made her think it was unbelievable!
Lu Ming was amused by her reaction. “Normal procedures are quite difficult.”
Normal procedures?
Could there be another program?
Chu Jinyu subconsciously blurted out, “Brother Lu Ming, are you trying to usurp the throne? Or did someone give you a country? That’s too fantastical, right?” As she spoke, she felt that the first possibility was very likely. She immediately panicked. “This is not a good thing. If Mom and Godfather knew what you were thinking, they would definitely be shocked!”
They might even end up in the hospital!
“Where have you been thinking?”
This was the first time Lu Ming realized that the other party had such a rich imagination. He couldn’t help but tease her. “However, Godfather was the first to know about this. I think Mom should know by now, right? When he came back, Godfather said that he would pass it on to Mom.”
......
Chu Jinyu was stunned.
What is going on? Could this matter be easily spread? No, no, in the end, am I the last person in the family to know??It was over. Although she had read many books, she knew nothing about usurping the throne. She only knew that the outcome of failure was very tragic!
“How can I help you?”
Lu Ming couldn’t help but smile even more happily. He said, “You just need to be the President’s wife. This matter has basically been decided. When the time comes, I’ll bring the money over. Have you forgotten that there’s a small island country where one can use money to buy the right to use it? I plan to bring you, Mom, and Godfather there for a vacation later.”
At this moment, Chu Jinyu finally realized that she had been fooled. She pinched the soft flesh on the other party’s waist angrily. Lu Ming took a deep breath and said smugly, “Who asked you to scare me! I was really thinking of a solution for you just now. Seriously! Why are you panting?”
Lu Ming knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only beg her for mercy. “I know I was wrong. I definitely won’t do this again. Little Yu, please let me off, okay? When the time comes, I’ll help you carry whatever you want to buy. How about that? I’ll pay all the expenses. Your wish is my command!”
“Then it’s settled. You can’t go back on your word!”
Chu Jinyu looked at him steadily and the two of them smiled at each other. After Lu Ming told her about his upcoming trip, he boarded a plane and left the next day. Before he left, he could not persuade his godfather, so he brought along some people to protect his life. In addition, the professional standards of the bodyguards he chose were top-notch overseas, so he was quite calm.
He really looked like he was here for a vacation.
Judicial Island was located in an island country in the Pacific Ocean. It had its own government, laws, troops, and so on. Although its territory was not large, it was more than enough because there were only tens of thousands of people living there. In addition, the environment was quite good. It was warm in the spring and cool in the summer, which led to it becoming the best haven for criminals!
In addition, because of the uniqueness of the law, as long as they were official residents, they would not be arrested even if they committed heinous crimes. Therefore, those people could obtain political asylum by giving the government a sum of money and stay here in peace. It could be said that they were outside the law. However, other countries could not do anything about it.
Many years ago, this place began to use leasing to increase the country’s economic level. In the past, people basically only bought it for the sake of novelty. In addition, because of money, they only bought it for half a month. It was probably the first time in history that Lu Ming bought it all in one go!
If it weren’t for the fact that he had the ability to fork out money in one go, which was equivalent to the economic level of the island in the next 20 years, things probably wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. After all, there weren’t many people who could spend a lot of money to buy a small country with an incomplete official system. Therefore, the higher-ups were very enthusiastic about Lu Ming’s arrival.
As soon as he got off the plane, the first person Lu Ming saw was a thin young man in his late twenties. After seeing him, the man quickly smiled and went up to him. He said, “Are you Mr. Lu? I’m the president’s secretary, Yu Yan. You can call me Three Fires. I’ll bring you to sign the formal contract now.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly and thought to himself,?Is he Chinese? His Mandarin is really fluent.
The group of people walked towards the largest building in the center. As they walked, he paid attention to his surroundings and asked curiously, “Why does it seem like these people have colorful ribbons hanging in front of their shops? Is there a meaning to this? Or is there a festival?”
“Mr. Lu, you’ve indeed chosen a good day. Recently, we’ve been holding the Horae Goddess Festival, so many people have specially come to visit us. Actually, in the past few days, there have been three to four times more people coming to the island than usual. But don’t worry, our place is definitely the safest place.”
Horae?
If he remembered correctly, this goddess should be in charge of the order of the human world, right? Not far away, a cry could be heard suddenly. “Ah! There’s a thief! Don’t run! Catch the thief!”
A black shadow quickly disappeared into the crowd and disappeared without a trace. Lu Ming suddenly felt that it was a little too dramatic. He had just said that Judicial Island was the safest place when such a thing happened.?Do they think that it’s peaceful as long as no deaths are involved?
