60: Let's talk about whether oil prices have dropped in Chapter 60.

Lin Heng naturally welcomed those who came to him for medical treatment.

However, for those who were intentionally looking for trouble, Lin Heng's approach was very direct.

He would tie them up with a rope and toss them aside, waiting for the police to arrive.

As for the students in his makeshift gym, they were also very active in cooperating, even taking the initiative to watch over the suspects.

What followed was, naturally, the "torture" of these students who had paid their fees.

Since they started live streaming, this was the first time they were at such a loss for words; even complaining felt completely futile.

Finally finishing his day's part-time job, Lin Heng left elegantly under the complex gaze of the police.

Su Xueer expressed that she needed to go back and recover.

After hailing a taxi for Su Xueer, Lin Heng also prepared to go home.

He called a taxi and waited quietly.

Then, he saw a military jeep appear before him.

Lin Heng was stunned for a moment.

He immediately opened his phone and checked it carefully.

Wait...

I didn't hail a car like this!

Soon, an acquaintance stepped out of the vehicle.

Lin Zhengbei gave Lin Heng a bitter smile.

"Um, Lin Heng, I have something to talk to you about. Come and sit inside for a while."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people suddenly appeared in the surroundings.

They were all armed with live ammunition, armed to the teeth.

It seemed he couldn't get away.

He also shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Glancing at Lin Zhengbei, who had a bitter smile on his face, Lin Heng quickly nodded, accepting the handcuffs and the black cloth hood from both sides.

...

Military Region.

Lin Heng arrived at that same old place.

It was still here.

Same location, same setup, but a different vibe.

Glancing at Lin Zhengbei, he spoke, "I wonder what the General wants with me this time?"

Lin Zhengbei quickly turned serious.

"You're the one behind the Saudi business, right?"

"Saudi? What Saudi business?"

Lin Heng frowned.

There were too many things going on in Saudi Arabia; Lin Heng didn't know which one he meant.

Don't tell me even the death of their king can be pinned on me.

"Could you please speak more clearly, General? If you're like this, how would I know what exactly happened in Saudi Arabia?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhengbei was stunned.

Holy crap?

There's more than one thing??

But at this moment, Lin Zhengbei had no time to ask about other things, so he stared at Lin Heng with an indifferent gaze.

"You know it in your heart! It's exactly what you're thinking of in your mind right now."

Lin Zhengbei stared intently at Lin Heng.

He wanted to see if there was anything different in Lin Heng's eyes.

This kind of interrogation could maximize the chance of detecting if Lin Heng was lying.

At the same time, Lin Zhengbei also wanted to find out what other information Lin Heng had that the military didn't possess, besides the matter he was interrogating him about.

To this, Lin Heng just waved his hand dismissively.

"I don't know what happened to Saudi Arabia, but I do know that our Dragon Country's oil prices have dropped. Isn't that a good thing?"

"92-octane gasoline is down to seven yuan; it only dropped recently, and there's a trend toward six yuan."

"Could it be that Saudi Arabia found a new oil field and the oil supply is exceeding demand?"

He said casually.

His eyes didn't flicker or avoid contact, showing no sign of fear.

At this time, Lin Zhengbei was also stunned.

From the other's eyes, he actually couldn't catch any weakness.

Even an upright person who had done some bad things in the past would subconsciously avoid eye contact when faced with a questioning gaze, even if there was no problem.

But Lin Heng had no reaction; instead, he was even calmer than Lin Zhengbei.

"This..."

He really couldn't tell what Lin Heng had done from this aspect.

Thus, he could only give a bitter smile and quickly lay his cards on the table with Lin Heng.

"Saudi Arabia fought a war recently. You know about this, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Heng nodded.

"I know. Pretty Country, right? They wanted to short oil, but when they were landing and approaching, they were caught off guard by Saudi Arabia."

"Pretty Country's attempt to short oil failed. Later, our Dragon Country stepped in and bought a large amount of crude oil, even with a discount."

After hearing this, Lin Zhengbei continued:

"Then do you know that Pretty Country even sank a destroyer for this?"

Lin Heng was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Zhengbei suddenly said, "I heard you were even the overall commander of the battle?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Heng hurriedly waved his hands.

"I don't admit to that. I just gave a little guidance on military strategy, at most it can only be considered translating the Thirty-Six Stratagems for them. You can't push this onto me."

"Besides, Pretty Country was defeated, and everyone got to buy cheap oil. Isn't that a good thing?"

"How can you blame me?"

Good grief...

Lin Heng actually admitted to his help for Saudi Arabia!

For a moment, both people in the small dark room fell silent.

Soon, Lin Zhengbei spoke.

"Fine, strategic deployment and military strategy, let's put those aside for now."

After saying this, Lin Zhengbei looked at Lin Heng seriously again.

He continued, "I heard you also exported munitions to Saudi Arabia? They won against Pretty Country precisely because they got your support."

"Now there's serious discussion internationally. Saudi Arabia is loudly proclaiming your achievements, making it known to everyone. The United Nations wants us to hand you over as a habitual war criminal."

"Now we are under pressure and have to interview you. You know the importance of this matter."

Lin Zhengbei looked serious, not joking.

"munitions?"

Lin Heng's voice suddenly rose in volume.

He looked dead serious.

"You can't slander me out of thin air!"

"When did I ever traffic munitions? Didn't I explain everything clearly at the police station before? Those were all normally exported goods. When did they become munitions?"

"But I heard you made a lot of money?" Lin Zhengbei questioned.

Hearing this, Lin Heng laughed on the spot.

"I just acted as a middleman and took a little kickback. I'm not making money!"

"Gangyang Chemical Plant pulled an order of a hundred thousand; isn't that giving back to the physical industry? Besides, except for the three-wheeled vehicles which were new, the fire trucks and tractors I sent were all second-hand. They were almost at cabbage prices, not even as high as the price of scrap iron. I really didn't make much money."

"If it weren't for the Saudi Prince begging me so urgently, I wouldn't have bothered."

"Is the United Nations crazy? Sanctioning me?"

"And these are all imports and exports, right? I don't even know how much I've contributed in tariffs. If not for my merit, I at least have my hard work. As a law-abiding citizen, how did I become an international war criminal?"

"To talk about contributions, just ask if our domestic oil prices have dropped or not."

He explained forcefully.
