Chapter 283 First Time Facing a Life-or-Death Crisis
Chapter 283 First Time Facing a Life-or-Death Crisis
"Based on our predictions and the information we've gathered, the other company has been severely weakened since its failure and harbors resentment towards you. Therefore, there's a high probability they will take action against you while you're abroad..."
"What? You're saying the other side will assassinate me?"
Zhang Dong looked shocked.
He was overjoyed just moments before, as being able to represent the country at such a high-level technology exhibition was a great social honor for his company.
But in the blink of an eye, the mayor, along with these security personnel, found him and told him some shocking news that greatly shocked Zhang Dong.
But upon closer reflection, he also felt that it was not impossible.
It's probably only because the area around Dongda University has a relatively good security environment; otherwise, after the last failure, this United Company might have already taken action against him.
Upon learning of this situation, Zhang Dong frowned deeply: "So, what are your plans now?"
Hearing Zhang Dong's urgent question, Lin Yue finally revealed his thoughts.
"Mr. Zhang, as the security department, we will be with you the entire time during your trip abroad to attend the conference."
"We'll be disguised as your company's employees, and you'll lead the team to participate in this technology exhibition..."
"What? You disguised yourselves as our company employees to protect my safety...?"
After understanding Lin Yue's meaning, Zhang Dong's eyes widened.
Since the state has made this arrangement, it must have received relevant information. Zhang Dong was shocked and had no objections whatsoever.
"Okay, Captain Lin, whatever you arrange is fine with me, but you must ensure my safety..."
Zhang Dong never imagined that attending a science and technology exhibition held abroad would pose such a huge danger to his life.
It seems that it is absolutely necessary for the University of Tokyo to control gun ownership.
Damn it, just one trip abroad and my life is threatened.
But thinking about it carefully, after that business battle, he completely offended those Western companies, causing them heavy losses and almost bankrupting them.
From this perspective, what these security officials said is very likely true...
This was the first time he had faced such a life-or-death crisis since his rebirth.
But Zhang Dong did not back down.
He also believes that with the protection of these security personnel, he will be able to get through this crisis.
"Mr. Zhang, just to be on the safe side, we still need to do your makeup before you go abroad."
"What? There's such a thing?" Zhang Dong stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
Seeing Zhang Dong's shock, Lin Yue's expression turned serious.
“Mr. Zhang, we are also considering your safety. You can only show up before attending the conference.”
"According to the information we have received, the other side has dispatched experts to hunt you down, with the aim of killing you on your way..."
Upon learning the truth, Zhang Dong also gasped in shock.
He knew that the security bureau staff wouldn't make things up; they must have received specific information, otherwise they wouldn't be making such a fuss.
"Mr. Zhang, I hope you can keep this matter strictly confidential, not even to your closest family members."
"As you just saw, even your mayor doesn't know why we're here. We hope you'll sign a confidentiality agreement regarding this."
"Okay, I'll sign."
Zhang Dong knew that this kind of thing couldn't be spread, so he readily signed a confidentiality agreement and accepted the arrangements made by the relevant parties...
Two weeks later, Zhang Dong followed Lin Yue and his men, who had come to their company again, to a hotel.
Zhang Dong was greatly surprised after the professional makeup artist did his makeup.
Previously, he had been keeping his eyes closed, resting and letting them do whatever they wanted.
But when he opened his eyes again and looked in the mirror, he found that he looked like a completely different person.
He didn't know much about disguise before, so Zhang Dong was full of surprise.
"Has the art of disguise advanced to this level? I don't even recognize myself."
Lin Yue, standing to the side, explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please understand, this is also for your safety. This is why we have raised your level of security protection."
"Based on our speculation, it is highly unlikely that the other party will take action against you domestically. The main possibility is after the plane lands, or at the transit points in between, which are very troublesome locations."
"So this time, our security bureau has specially prepared a private jet for your trip."
"A private jet? Such high-class treatment?"
Zhang Dong has never ridden a private jet.
Lin Yue was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Mr. Zhang, isn't your focus a bit off? The reason we prepared the private jet was for your safety."
Zhang Dong smiled: "With you all protecting me, I feel very reassured. However, I've actually never flown a private jet before..."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, you're so funny. You'll soon find out that the so-called private jet only offers some security guarantees; in reality, it's no different from a regular airplane..."
Zhang Dong was certainly aware of this, but he was still quite surprised to see how well the security bureau staff had done it.
This shows that the country attaches great importance to this science and technology exhibition and has raised his personal safety to the highest level.
I had seen news reports before about heads of state sometimes having body doubles arranged when they go abroad to attend meetings, which seemed very unbelievable. I never thought I would receive such treatment myself.
It seems that the national government was already aware of my conflict with that United Technologies company. Or perhaps they only learned about it after they decided to let me participate in this technology expo.
In any case, Zhang Dong sensed that the National Security Bureau was being extremely cautious this time...
"Mr. Zhang, we'll be heading to the airport shortly. Our private jet will land at an airport overseas for a short layover. You'll need to follow our instructions; this is for your safety..."
Zhang Dong's expression also turned serious: "Captain Lin, rest assured, I will fully cooperate with your arrangements..."
Zhang Dong does have this much self-awareness.
This time, when they participated in the overseas technology exhibition, only the CEO of their company attended; the others accompanying him were all staff members from the security bureau, which speaks volumes.
Given this, how could I not obediently cooperate?
After their makeup was done, they took a private car to the airport and boarded a private plane.
Knowing that his appearance had changed drastically after the makeup, and considering that they were still in China, Zhang Dong wasn't too worried.
