335: Chapter 335 Spreading Rumors is a Big Deal

Lin Heng's actions completely stunned Long Anyou and the others.

The corners of their mouths twitched incessantly, and their expressions could only be described as complicated.

Bitterness?

Or perhaps shock.

A little envy?

It was a feeling they couldn't quite name.

Soon, Lin Heng walked over.

"What's wrong? Why do you all look so surprised?"

Lin Heng said half-jokingly.

This... How could they not be shocked??

How could they not be surprised?

Long Anyou was completely speechless by this point.

He felt that comparing himself to Lin Heng was purely asking for trouble!

"Forget it... Just pretend we didn't say anything."

Long Anyou finally sighed, shaking his head helplessly.

In the middle, Su Xueer and the others came over to pour drinks.

Su Xueer was now completely willing to become someone close to Lin Heng; almost wherever Lin Heng was, she would appear.

As the drinks flowed, midway through the gathering,

When Long Anyou saw Su Xueer, he quickly recalled the news that had spread just after they landed.

They seemed to have said... the naval fleet of the Pretty Country had been driven away?

His thoughts stirred slightly.

When Su Xueer walked past, he quickly grabbed her.

"Su Xueer, come here for a moment?"

"Director Long? What's up?"

Su Xueer naturally recognized Long Anyou.

As a Streamer, being able to sit with a major figure like Long Anyou made Su Xueer feel a bit moved internally.

Her complexion flushed slightly, and after Long Anyou stopped her, she quickly sat down with a wine pot.

Most importantly, Lin Heng could be seen here... That was what truly made her ecstatic.

As soon as Su Xueer sat down, Long Anyou started feeling fidgety.

He desperately wanted to know about the Pretty Country's naval fleet!

Since Su Xueer hadn't participated in that battle, they hadn't witnessed the magnificent scene through the live stream.

Regarding Lin Heng and the others claiming they drove away the Pretty Country's naval fleet, they were even more skeptical.

Therefore, he needed someone who could tell the truth.

Su Xueer was the person best able to give him the answer!

"What is it, Director Long?"

"You asked me to sit down, why aren't you speaking now?"

Su Xueer poured wine for Long Anyou while reminding him.

However, her gaze secretly glanced towards Lin Heng.

That sexy collarbone, the sharply defined jawline... It was simply perfect!

Su Xueer was almost lost in admiration.

"Ahem..."

At this moment, a soft cough was heard.

Long Anyou awkwardly reminded Su Xueer.

"Um, you spilled some..."

Hearing this, Su Xueer paused, quickly turned back, and looked down at what was in front of her.

She didn't know when the wine had spilled all over Long Anyou. She quickly apologized.

"Ah...! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to, Director Long, let me help you change your clothes?"

"No need, it's not a big deal."

Long Anyou inwardly gave a wry smile.

Looking at the way Su Xueer looked at Lin Heng, her eyes were practically sparkling with adoration.

Fortunately, not much of his clothes got wet. Long Anyou decided to act as if nothing had happened.

He waved his hand and got straight to the point.

"Um, I want to ask you something."

"...As long as it's a question from Director Long, I will tell you everything I know."

Su Xueer apologized repeatedly,

appearing somewhat flustered.

But Long Anyou could only smile wryly because he noticed that even at this moment, Su Xueer was still glancing at Lin Heng.

However, Long Anyou quickly got to the topic.

"Speaking of which... how much do you know about the Pretty Country's naval warships...?"

"Huh? Weren't they driven away?"

Su Xueer was stunned upon hearing this, then quickly turned to look at Long Anyou.

Huh?

Were they really driven away?

Long Anyou was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

But he was, after all, the Director of the Longan Bureau of the Dragon Country, and concurrently the Director of Intelligence. He knew exactly how extensive the Pretty Country's investment in the Middle East was!

If they were suppressed by Africa, a third-world country, they would probably die laughing on the spot!

"Hahaha... Su Xueer, you should know the industrial situation in Africa, and of course, you should also know the military capabilities of the Pretty Country."

"For Africa to defeat the Pretty Country? Then back then, Japan wouldn't have just launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor; they would have gone straight to their mainland and overthrown the Statue of Liberty!"

Long Anyou made no attempt to hide his tone, almost mocking her openly.

Many people from the Longan Bureau silently nodded, feeling that this was the only normal possibility.

But Su Xueer didn't feel that way.

She frowned slightly.

"But... Lin Heng and the others really drove away the Pretty Country's naval fleet."

It sounded like she was stating a fact.

Heh... Hehe...

The corners of Long Anyou's mouth twitched.

Could such a thing actually happen?

After a long while, Long Anyou finally let out a long breath and regained his composure.

He heavily patted Su Xueer's shoulder and spoke earnestly:

"Su Xueer, some things are not as you perceive them..."

"You also know that spreading bad news online is not a minor crime in the Dragon Country; it can even lead to our Longan Bureau getting involved."

"You need to understand the gravity of this!"

However...

Upon hearing this, Su Xueer almost instinctively retorted, "But... this is Africa, and I don't think I've spread any bad news within the Dragon Country."

"Furthermore, I haven't spread any false information either."

"The fact that Lin Heng drove away the Pretty Country's naval warships is true; I haven't fabricated anything."

She seemed utterly bewildered.

Those few sentences effectively silenced Long Anyou.

Heh... Hehe?

"Lin Heng... did he really drive away the Pretty Country's navy?"

He seriously questioned Su Xueer again.

"Of course, why would you think Lin Heng wouldn't have done such a thing?"

"If he hadn't, why would he be sitting here right now? Shouldn't he be constantly worried about the Pretty Country's military?"

Su Xueer had lost her patience by this point.

Even when facing Long Anyou, she didn't have the patience to be polite anymore.

Wasn't he belittling Lin Heng!

Once or twice was acceptable, but every time it was like this—she couldn't continue the conversation.

Could Su Xueer tolerate this?

Meanwhile, Long Anyou was unaware of Su Xueer's inner feelings. He let out a long breath and continued earnestly,

"Su Xueer, you are a major Streamer now... I know you want to become famous, but you should also realize... those fishing boats drifting on the sea, perhaps slightly equipped with cannons, are not warships in the strict sense..."

Suddenly...

Su Xueer's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

"I have other things to attend to. I won't keep you company!"
