Chapter 428: The Past Is Unbearable
If someone asks what is the fastest way to get money, they will answer: rob the bank.
At that time, the fledgling Leah chose this simplest and crudest method, but the method was much more clever than that of the robbery gangs who braved the bullets.
That day was undoubtedly a legend in the federal financial world, and it was also a nightmare for the Rothschilds, because thirteen dollars evaporated out of thin air in the accounts of citizens who traded on that day, which directly led to the credit crisis of Amex Bank, and almost went bankrupt as a result.
In the end, it was because the money was returned again on the same day that Rothschild's pillar industry, the Express Bank, saved itself from being wiped out in endless cash-outs, but because of this, the eldest princess of the Federation, Arsalia, was written into the absolute blacklist by this group of vampires.
"It seems that you have heard of it, yes, I borrowed a sum of money from the Amex Bank, or from all the citizens of the Federation, to fulfill my dream."
Leah looked at him, couldn't help frowning and said: "But later I found out that I seemed to be too greedy at the time, after buying all the parts and tools, I didn't even use the interest of the day, from the point of view of economics, this is undoubtedly an extremely wasteful of resources, and I didn't intend to start a full-scale war with Rothschild who was about to go crazy, so I returned the principal back to everyone's account, and it seemed that there was a joke." But through this incident, I am deeply aware of the qualitative effect of accumulation. β
"It's just borrowing money, it's going to make that group of people make such a fuss, if this was in the empire, I would have punished him a long time ago." Su Yemu Lan echoed.
Shi Chen can only smile bitterly at this, sure enough, the realm of people is different, stealing the design drawings of United Airlines is called taking, stealing bank money is called borrowing, and this so-called joke almost made a financial family that has been inherited for many years and has resolutely made profits even in the darkest era of imperial rule almost collapse, in order to no longer stimulate his nerves, he had to change the topic. "And then?"
Liya ignored the female emperor's sycophancy, her eyes were calm and leisurely, and said: "Later, I took that spaceship to the hinterland of the empire alone and went to Qin Jingxing, along the way, I found that in fact, the people of the empire are not too different from us, they are also flesh and blood, there are joys and sorrows, and they also hate the people of the Federation. After dinner, I scolded our hypocrisy and shamelessness, so I became more determined about everything I saw in those ancient books, and I was more sure that those were true. Since we have the same ancestors, why bother facing each other for the benefit of every inch of land, this universe is so vast, and more of our experience should be spent on exploring the unknown, rather than wasting on useless wars. β
Shi Chen was speechless about this.
Leah is right. But there is no right or wrong in the real world. Some only have the most direct struggle of interests, and not everyone has such a long-term vision, but the vast majority of people will only stare at their feet, tearing everyone who stands in front of them to pieces in order to get the next meal.
Liya is the purest person Shi Chen has seen in so many years. And her vision is just as pure, even a little naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve.
However, once such a person has perseverance and ability, the impact will be extremely terrible.
"So, I thought I should go and meet the Emperor of the Empire." Leah uttered a shocking message. But as if he had gone to the next door neighbor's house, "but the guards on that hill seem to be more troublesome than Sauron's castle." So I had to pretend to be a talented person, and then I got in, until I met her, a poor and pathetic puppet emperor. When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of myself, how similar the fate was. If I had stayed in that castle, I would have been like her, imprisoned forever in a cobwebbed cage, and then controlled by the invisible threads that seemed to be subservient to you. β
At this moment, Su Ye Mulan looked at the wine that kept reverberating in the cup, remembered the past of the year, sighed faintly, and looked at Shi Chen's eyes, but it was not as sharp as before.
After all, if it weren't for Shi Chen, even if he diverted Liya's attention, I'm afraid her life wouldn't be too easy today.
Leah held the bottom of the bowl with her slender fingers, rotated slightly, and said with a slight gaze, "So I plan to help her, to help her break free from the shackles around her, and obtain the supreme true power of the empire, so that I can justifiably claim my reward." β
Shi Chen had heard about the past of the empire from Su Yayan, but at this moment, when he heard the narration from another angle from Liya, he suddenly had a feeling of being unrecognizable, and his heart suddenly moved.
"That old fox Suye Hongjian took the initiative to resign as regent, and it was also your hands and feet, right?"
Hearing this, the two women laughed together, but one smiled a little proudly, the other laughed happily.
"Yes, in fact, the method is extremely simple, although Su Ye Hongjian is cold-blooded, likes to abuse and kill, and has a strong desire to destroy, but he has a completely different attitude towards his family, which can also be said to be one of his few flaws." She raised her head and looked into Shi Chen's eyes and said.
At this moment, Su Ye Mulan also smiled and said: "So I followed Yaji's proposal, invaded the Hongjian Mansion at all costs, captured his family, and used his relatives to blackmail him, besides, I was already an adult at that time, and there were enough reasons to force him to resign." With a two-pronged approach, he can only choose to comply. β
Even the kidnapping ticket came out, and it was really simple and rude enough.
Shi Chen frowned slightly when he heard this idea, quickly wrenched his fingers, suddenly raised his head, stared at Liya and blurted out: "This method is a bit out of the line after all, and sometimes, once you break the rules first, others will also use a lower method to deal with you." β
Leah laughed, "At least they can't use the same method against us, my identity is alone in the Empire, even if someone finds out my identity, can he still run to the Castle of Soren in the Federation to assassinate my mother and sister?" As for Su Ye Mulan, they are even more impossible, do they dare to dig up the tomb of the Sith Emperor? β
These words were arrogant, but Shi Chen was noncommittal, because history had already given the answer, "But you were still forced to leave after the worst, didn't you?" β
Su Ye Mulan bowed her head slightly, indicating her attitude, she didn't want to get involved in this topic, because it involved the face and dignity of the imperial royal family, and it was also the biggest pain in her heart.
Liya pondered for a moment, looked at Shi Chen and said, "Yes, maybe in the eyes of the world, I am really an alternative, so they can't tolerate the existence of someone like me who plays cards unreasonably around those in power." β
PS: The stomach hurts badly, and the state is too bad, so there are a little fewer words today, and I will make up for it tomorrow, I hope you will forgive me (to be continued......
