291: Chapter 291 Suspecting Yan Zhengping of Fraud

"Little Zhang, watch your words! It's a discussion; everyone can express their opinions, but there's no need for a bet," Councilor Liu hinted to the young Expert.

It was understandable that the young Expert, with his high spirits and lack of experience, might have rashly made such a bet, but Liu Feiying wouldn't fall for it so easily.

He still had considerable faith in the Huatong Chamber of Commerce's research capabilities. Therefore, it was indeed not impossible for them to create a simulated robot with such a structure. Moreover, since Yan Zhengping dared to personally endorse it here, it meant he was very confident. In such a situation, making a bet was clearly unwise.

"Councilman Yan, you haven't said what will happen if you lose?" the young Expert asked, completely ignoring Liu Feiying's hint.

Liu Feiying frowned, a look of displeasure on his face, seeing the young Expert's stubbornness.

"What do you want?" Yan Zhengping asked him coldly.

"Admit to faking it and immediately resign from your position as councilor," the young Expert stated his conditions.

"Shut up! Where did this idiot come from! Someone! Get him out of here!" Zongzheng Yue roared, standing up upon hearing this.

"Bang~! Alright, Liu Feiying, I finally get it. You're the one behind this, aren't you! Damn it! Letting some lowlife jump out to disgust people, you're truly despicable!" Suo Tonghua slammed the table and cursed loudly.

Suo Tonghua was right; this was indeed disgusting.

It was not glorious for Yan Zhengping to bet against an unknown nobody, even if he won.

And Baili Ji sitting by, not speaking at all, made the matter somewhat intriguing.

Yan Zhengping looked at Baili Ji, who was looking down, flipping through documents, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

"Did you hear me? Get him out of here!" Zongzheng Yue shouted at the Soldiers at the door.

The Soldiers stood there, looking at each other, feeling very awkward.

Without Baili Ji's command, they couldn't act.

"Councilor Suo, why are you so agitated? I declared in advance that this matter has nothing to do with me, nor was it my instruction. Alright, Little Zhang, that's enough. What is Councilman Yan's status? He won't bet with you," Liu Feiying said to the young Expert.

His original intention was truly to stop this farce. The young Expert, named Little Zhang, hadn't understood his hint just now, and things were already getting a bit passive. If it continued, he might really be implicated.

But Little Zhang, after hearing Liu Feiying's words, thought it was a provocation and became even more arrogant.

"What, Councilman Yan, are you afraid?" Little Zhang asked.

"Little Zhang! Didn't you hear me?" Liu Feiying snapped when the young Expert still didn't rein himself in.

"Councilor Liu, I can stake my life that the information Councilman Yan provided is definitely fraudulent!" the young Expert swore with conviction.

"Arrogant! Someone, take him away!" Liu Feiying also became furious.

This idiot was truly a stubborn hothead who wouldn't listen to anyone. Liu Feiying already regretted bringing these Experts along.

His real purpose was merely to professionally make things difficult for Yan Zhengping and embarrass him. But deep down, he didn't doubt the technical capabilities of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

However, letting this hothead continue would make things spiral out of control.

Questioning the technology of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce? That would be asking to be slapped in the face.

Just like before, the Soldiers at the door did not carry out Liu Feiying's order.

They looked at Baili Ji, seeking instructions. But Baili Ji didn't look up or acknowledge anyone.

He Jinghui had also argued fiercely in the council yesterday, but today he was unusually quiet.

He wouldn't speak because he knew that the robot technology absolutely could not be faked. Helping Liu Feiying would definitely lead to humiliation, but he also couldn't help Yan Zhengping, so silence was the best option.

"Bang~"

A table-slamming sound.

"Everyone shut up!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao roared.

Everyone knew Shentu Fu's temper: he was a man who would act rather than talk.

So at this moment, no one spoke.

They all sat down.

"Are you done arguing?" Baili Ji asked, putting down his documents and beginning to speak, seeing that everyone had quieted down.

No one answered.

"Look, just look! This is our Huaxia's council, this is Huaxia's highest center of power," Baili Ji's words carried a tone of criticism.

"Anyone who didn't know would think this was a wet market."

"Councilor Liu, are these the people you brought?" Baili Ji asked.

"Speaker, they..." Liu Feiying tried to explain, but Baili Ji interrupted him.

"You don't need to explain, I only look at the facts."

"Comrades, I want to ask everyone, what exactly is the purpose of the council's immunity from speech?"

No one answered.

"Its purpose is to encourage everyone to dare to speak, to be able to speak, to speak freely in discussions without reservations. Is it a knife? Is it a gun? Is it a weapon to attack others? Using the excuse of immunity from speech to attack others, you are all capable people!" Baili Ji sneered.

"Someone, take this Expert away and detain him for now. After the exercise ends, we'll thoroughly interrogate him back home to see if anyone was behind him," Baili Ji ordered.

"Yes!" The Soldiers finally stepped forward this time.
