Chapter 95

No one would be so tactless as to point out that the paradise with its inexhaustible gold and silver treasures, rivers flowing with honey, and a world of seventy-two untouched maidens has nothing to do with Eastern people.

Of course she knew Estina was only joking.

"Alright! Let's get back to work, Salis, tell us about your findings!"

If the previous few people could be considered the Medical Affairs Investigation Committee's mascots, then the ones behind were more or less all the backbone members.

And Salis was the most seasoned investigator among them; for this reason, Estina placed high hopes on him.

"Chairman, my investigation results are similar to those of the others, but I noticed some details they didn't pay attention to.

When those believers used acupuncture methods to treat others, they did not obtain the acupuncture license permits issued by America.

So, regardless of whether the other party's actions were medical or non-medical, doing so without license permits is not allowed by law.

After all, in America, even cutting down a tree in your own yard or fishing in a river requires a permit, or you need a license to do it.

Even if you want to renovate your own house, you need to get approval before starting construction.

And they, without obtaining permission, arbitrarily used acupuncture methods to treat others.

This is illegal! However, it has nothing to do with our Medical Affairs Investigation Committee, because their behavior, whether they have licenses or not, does not fall under medical practice.

Moreover, later they seemed to have noticed this loophole and used religious blessing behavior to compensate, which also counts as making up for the past.

We won't comment on this!"

After Salis finished these trivial details, he finally revealed his real finding: "The place I went to was Cordell, I also went to Americus, and then discovered a very serious problem! Those disaster victims who were rescued by that religious sect are extremely enthusiastic about discussing the East with others.

They really like to compare America with the East.

For example, this time, because the disaster area in Georgia was too vast and the wind force too strong, the disaster was extremely severe.

These disaster victims seem to have heard some propaganda, especially those who received rescue from what's called the Twenty-Five Governance Sect; what they like to do now is go online to search for information about the East.

Comparing the Eastern Great Power and America in terms of the state's attitude toward the people when encountering disasters, as well as some other news."

"For this I even discussed a few stories and viewpoints with those disaster victims.

For example, when the Southeast Six States were hit by disaster, our official personnel did not appear to help them.

But Eastern people would mobilize all organizable forces at the first moment, including but not limited to the military.

People there see military uniforms appear and feel valued, feel at ease, like the sky won't fall! But America doesn't!

They even blocked civilian autonomous rescue teams!"

With things having been said to this extent, Salis spoke very seriously: "Chairman, there's a lot more information.

And it's information that can be received on Twitter and Facebook.

Too inconceivable, and extremely flattering toward the East.

I've recorded all of these, you take a look!"

Finished speaking, he projected the followed content from his phone onto the big screen.

"The Reader"

A New York magazine, with physical books and an online version of stories; however, what is projected onto the big screen now is a very bizarre story that can shatter one's worldview.

【In the East, on the Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway there are countless high-speed trains speeding along, each hour able to transport tens of thousands or even twenty-odd thousand passengers.

But suddenly, someone heard a puppy's whimper, looked up and discovered a little milk dog with an injured leg stuck on the railway line.

People discovered this and hurriedly called the police; the police reported the matter to the Railway General Administration, hoping the high-speed trains would stop entering the station.

But a single high-speed train stopping would trigger a domino effect, causing a large part or even the entire national railway transport to fall into chaos.

The losses would be an astronomical figure; for such a little dog, is it worth it?

The Railway General Administration considered repeatedly and resolutely stopped the high-speed trains from entering the station, saving this little dog.

Even though this caused nearly a hundred billion in losses, a great nation can always halt its advancing footsteps for a life no matter how tiny — this is the essence selection from the Eastern "The Reader"】

This...

Such an anti-logic story, does anyone believe it?

Looking at his colleagues' doubtful gazes, Salis nodded: "People believe it, and it has already reached the point where it tolerates no questioning from others.

Also, you all keep watching!"

Immediately following was another selected content.

【A Hujian person's large tile-vat sandpot soup shop, two people walked in but ordered 4 bowls of soup: "Four bowls of soup, two for now, two for later!"

Later, a scavenger old man came in, he quietly asked the waiter: "Is there any soup for later?"

Turns out people bought two extra bowls for later, so that those who couldn't afford soup could also enjoy warmth and deliciousness.

This is the warmth of Eastern people's love!

"Consciousness Forest" essence selection】

This... the people present looked at each other, this seems more believable than the previous one.

"Right now those disaster victims who were rescued by the Eastern religious sect, those town residents, many deeply believe this without doubt; they even frantically go online to search for all information about the East.

And even regarding the election system, they believe elections block ordinary people's upward channels.

They say, in the West, only rich people can get elected to the positions they want.

While Eastern people can enter the civil servant profession through examinations, and then through their own networking methods and administrative ability climb up step by step.

One generation fails, two generations try; two generations fail, three generations try; there is always hope in the end.

But the Western election system.

Must satisfy one condition: have money!

If there is no money, then must satisfy a second condition: must have rich people to support you.

An American town mayor, county magistrate, city mayor, state governor — wanting to get elected, how to get elected without money? This naturally refuses ordinary people's chance to defy fate and change their lives.

So these disaster victims believe the Western election system is actually a very backward system, and should look to Eastern people to catch up.

They say, Eastern dynasties have 300 years, at least 250 years of cycle time; within this time, ordinary people can have upward channels.】

Even if it becomes increasingly class-solidified and increasingly difficult with the passage of time, there are still channels for upward mobility in the end.

Once the people at the bottom have no channel for advancement, this dynasty has no necessity to exist. This is too crazy! This must be that religious sect's propaganda, letting these disaster victims see the outside world and learn to think.

I feel we should find someone to arrest that religious sect's leader, that Easterner called Chen Yaozu! We could even arrest all of them — these people are all very dangerous!

Hiss...

The people present looked at each other — this seems really serious! "Indeed they should be arrested, but there's no reason!"

Estina felt she had exhausted herself worrying for the big figures behind her — is this something she should manage? She only has a Medical Affairs Investigation Committee here! Salis had done his homework before coming: "No, Chairman, America has precedent — not too many reasons needed."

He had prepared early, so with a tap of his phone the large screen projection switched images.

【Last May, a Chinese-American hotel employee in Boston, America, Li Tang (English name Henry Liang), was prosecuted and arrested.

He was active in the local union and was an active activist in the Chinese-American community.

He was prosecuted by a Federal Grand Jury on charges including "acting as a foreign government agent without prior notification."

Li Tang consistently advocated peaceful coexistence between East and America, Eastern unification, and opposed America's provocative behavior toward the East.

Therefore, America considered his behavior and advocacy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.】

(The persimmon-steamed events that occurred above) "This is a trampling of freedom of speech!"

"Shut up!"

The blond muscular man muttered a sentence, but was immediately suppressed by the female Chairman, like a quail he lowered his head and dared not say another half-sentence.

Estina glanced at this thing originally meant as a mascot, raised her head and asked Salis: "You mean, have those big figures prosecute him on this charge?"

Salis nodded: "Right, there are plenty of ways to nail him!

We must control these people's speech — if these bottom-level people unite, it's big trouble for us!"

The portly James originally didn't want to speak, but still couldn't help reminding: "That Easterner called Chen Yaozu is a Purple-robed Archbishop — a large portion of those big figures' votes rely on the religious world.

They dare not deal with that Easterner so casually."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses behind him also agreed with this statement.

"Right! That one called Chen Yaozu is a registered Purple-robed Archbishop with a special identity."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a woman beside him also spoke up mockingly, and she spoke as if she understood Easterners quite well.

"You think they're those Eastern homeless people at Ding Fatzi Plaza — you can just drag them away if they match the profile? If a religious sect is taken down this easily, people from other sects will also be uneasy.

What's this called... Easterners say this is 'when the rabbit dies the fox grieves'... really don't understand why the fox would grieve when the rabbit dies!

But the general meaning is about right! The religious world won't casually sit by while big figures move against him — today they can deal with this one Purple-robed Archbishop, tomorrow they can deal with other sects' Archbishops."

Salis explained very seriously — he had also chatted with others just now and probed out that religious sect's disaster relief route and situation.

The conclusion reached was: except for the first few town relief efforts where this situation didn't appear, on the later relief route, as long as those disciples described acupuncture to disaster victims as prayer, the situation became this fanatical and irrational reverence and envy toward the East.

Chairman Estina coldly snorted, cutting off the subordinates' discussion: "Enough, this matter isn't under our jurisdiction — we can't manage it either!

I'll report it upward and let those big figures handle it themselves!"

Chen Yaozu knew nothing of all this — even if he knew he wouldn't care — he only knew the ghost mirror had undergone a major transformation now.

【Magic Treasure: Ghost Spirit Mirror】

【Ghost Spirit Mirror: By a coincidence of fate, it collected the spirit of Republican-era woman Hu Ying's soul, was sealed within the mirror by the power of heaven and earth, and became a ghost mirror.

The ghost mirror fell into your hands; through the merit of saving people on this journey it was refined, and now it has touched upon a 'Spirit' character.

This is truly a stroke of great luck — from now on, whether mirror ghost or this realm, both can gradually walk the proper path by relying on this resource.

Hu Ying is the Mirror Spirit Master, commanding the Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Resentful Ghosts; the original Ghost Wall technique remains, and they no longer fear sunlight.

Gone are the ghostly wails and gloomy Yin Energy; there is now a touch of ethereal transcendence — power and even range are a level higher than before.

Magic Treasure transformation can feed back and nurture the master who branded the treasure.

Therefore a thread of pure spiritual power has appeared in your body — suggest spending more time practicing the Guiding Technique, otherwise your body cannot retain spiritual power!】

The ghost mirror transformed! This is a big deal — after the ghost mirror transformed, it actually gave himself such a great benefit.

Chen Yaozu didn't know what that thread of spiritual power from his dantian was for, but from the moment he saw a thread of spiritual power appear on himself, he felt this world had become different again.

His joy was not entirely because a thread of spiritual power was produced in his body — what's such a tiny amount good for?

He felt joy and some excitement because he found a method to advance further — doing good deeds, earning merit, then using merit to advance further.

So he already had a plan: from the 40 million USD obtained from Ma the Tycoon, aside from keeping 10 million as capital to do something, the remaining 30 million he planned to pour entirely into the disaster area to earn merit.

But a phone call interrupted his calculations.

"Mr. Chen Yaozu, we're from the Immigration Bureau — Los Angeles Immigration Bureau — verifying some information with you."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Yaozu had no time to wonder why the Immigration Bureau would seek him out, but since the other party had come to his door, he naturally had to respond.

"Hello, what information do you need to verify with me? If possible, I will certainly cooperate."

The staff member on the phone didn't even pause before directly continuing: "It's like this, Mr. Chen — we received a report reporting your identity fraud.

Your teacher qualification — you only taught for a little over a month, and have been absent for several months now.

Additionally, your marital cohabitation time is insufficient — we investigated and revisited your situation."

The temporary Green Card Chen Yaozu held was obtained because he married Audrey, becoming husband and wife, and applied for the temporary Green Card.

Later, another element was injected for this temporary Green Card — a teacher's license and job — this could make the temporary Green Card convert to permanent faster.

But now the Immigration Bureau actually called to investigate, and said his documents weren't very qualified.

His teaching tenure and class time raised doubts.

Plus insufficient time living together as husband and wife — this is a hard flaw.

"No, sir, my wife is my family, my wife's mother is also my family.

I'm currently with my family — Olivia, my wife's mother."

Suddenly, the staff member on the phone delivered a line: "Why didn't you bring your wife, but your wife's mother — is it because of her beauty?"

Hiss—

This... this is a blatant provocation! (Chapter End)
