Chapter 1102 Captured

The US, however, didn't stop there. They first organized their media power and launched a comprehensive condemnation of the Galactic Corporation Group and the Zhongyun Peak Science and Technology Research Institute. 

Following that, they used the excuse of curbing the funding sources of the institute to exert commercial pressure on the Galactic Corporation Group. Since the Galactic Corporation Group had already expanded its presence in the US, it was too easy to suppress its industries there. 

Moreover, the US had significant international influence, so even if it wasn't on their own territory, it could still greatly impact the Galactic Corporation Group.

Su Jing had anticipated that the Galactic Corporation Group would face pressure, but he didn't expect the US to be so domineering and unreasonable.

On the internet, discussions were rampant.

"It's over for the Galactic Corporation Group."

"It's not that bad. Even if they lose the market in the US, they still have plenty of potential elsewhere."

"First of all, the Galactic Corporation Group has been developing well in the US, so losing the market there is a significant loss for them. Secondly, let's not forget the international influence of the US. If they impose economic sanctions on you, even a major country would find it difficult to resist, let alone a mere corporation."

"That's right. Once the US applies pressure, not only foreign enterprises, but even some domestic companies might hesitate to cooperate with the Galactic Corporation Group. After all, some companies have a significant portion of their shares in the US, and some have close partnerships with them."

"Even if the Galactic Corporation Group manages to hold on, its industries will undoubtedly suffer a substantial decline."

"I suspected that the US would take action, but I didn't expect it to be so severe," Wang Zhuo gritted his teeth as he spoke to Su Jing over the phone.

"We should have been mentally prepared earlier," Su Jing said coldly.

"What do we do now?" Wang Zhuo felt helpless. They had offended many people before, but they had never offended an entire country, let alone the strongest country on Earth.

"You stay put. I'll go to the capital city and figure something out," Su Jing said. Relying solely on the power of the Galactic Corporation Group was impossible to compete with the US.

"Wait, there's more news," Wang Zhuo suddenly paused, then continued with even greater anger, "This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous."

"What happened?" Su Jing asked.

"One of our cargo ships was detained by the US while passing through a certain strait. They claimed that there might be Antimatter inside, posing a complete threat to Earth."

"What does the shipment contain?"

"Mostly Galactic Phones and a cargo of Galactic Cars, with a total value of about One Billion Yuan. Wang Zhuo said angrily, and Su Jing's eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

…

"A'Jing, what should we do now?" Wang Zhuo asked, feeling powerless in the face of the economic suppression and the forced detention of the cargo ships by the United States. 

As the third young master of the Wang family in the Capital City, he had always been influential, but when faced with a behemoth like the United States, he felt helpless.

Su Jing remained silent for a moment and asked, "Did you insure the shipment internationally?"

"Of course we did, but I'm afraid it won't help. Once the goods are seized by the military in the United States, do you think the insurance company will reimburse us?" Wang Zhuo replied.

"Just having the insurance is enough. You all stay put and continue managing the Galactic Corporation Group. Leave the rest to me," Su Jing said without further explanation and ended the call after saying a few more words.

"Do they really think I'm a pushover?" Su Jing murmured to himself. After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Qingyun, check the Recycle Degree."

"The current Recycle Degree is 171025," Qingyun replied.

"It was 162009 before, and it has increased by over nine thousand Recycle Degree Points in just two days. The exposure of the antimatter has not only caused international tension but also increased the Recycle Degree Points at a faster pace than before," Su Jing said with some surprise as this was beyond his expectations.

"Of course, the exposure of Antimatter contributes to stimulating progress for all of humanity and has a positive impact on society," Qingyun explained.

"What if it triggers a world war?" Su Jing asked.

"That would certainly have an extremely negative impact," Qingyun answered.

"Indeed," Su Jing nodded. His mind became more agile. While triggering a world war was defined as a negative impact, the exposure of Antimatter and the resulting international tension was defined as a positive impact. 

It seemed that the Galactic Garbage Station's definition of Recycle Degree was based on a global perspective. This meant that even if he caused some small conflicts, as long as he controlled the overall situation and led all of humanity toward progress, he might not lose Recycle Degree Points or, at least, not lose too many of them.

While Su Jing was pondering this, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from Luo Qilin, Su Jing immediately answered.

"Master, we have captured those three individuals," Luo Qilin reported.

"Good. Where are they?" Su Jing's eyes lit up.

"They are in a neighboring city. Their counter-surveillance abilities and disguising techniques are quite adept, but we managed to find them," Luo Qilin replied.

"You keep an eye on them. I will come over immediately," Su Jing said. He could have had Luo Qilin bring the three individuals back, but he was concerned that something might go wrong on the way. 

Moreover, he didn't want to waste any time. Therefore, he decided to go there personally.

"I was originally planning to give the United States a harsh blow, but since I found those three spies, I can take it one step at a time," Su Jing thought as he rode on top of his Golden Eagle, which was like a super-convenient helicopter and even faster than a regular one as he arrived at his destination in less than an hour.

Entering a secluded hotel, a Luo Qilin Stand was waiting there for him. The two men and one woman were lying on the ground, unconscious. It was evident that Luo Qilin had put them in such a state.

These two men and one woman were spies who had kidnapped Ou Qingyun and tortured him to death. Despite being pursued by Su Jing, Luo Qilin, Su Ti, and the local police for two days, they managed to evade capture. They were definitely skilled individuals. 

However, there was a prerequisite— they were unaware that their identities had been exposed. They would never have expected that Su Jing possessed a mirror that could see past events.
