How is a Skyrocket Monkey considered festive?

You always have to make a big deal out of things.

Getting bombed on New Year's Eve, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Objectively speaking, it's undoubtedly a bad thing, but for an idealist... no, an optimist, you have to analyze the situation dialectically.

Getting bombed on New Year's Eve, this choice of timing really leaves you amazed, but at least it's just New Year's Eve, not New Year's Day, right?

Although Boss Jiang received many New Year's calls today, according to tradition, after New Year's Eve, it's considered the real start of the new year.

So getting bombed on New Year's Eve, in precise terms, put an imperfect end to the previous year, but it doesn't affect the fortune of the new year.

Come tomorrow, all things will revive, spring will return to the earth, and everything will be a fresh start.

When Boss Jiang heard the news that the production base under construction for K.E had been bombed, he didn't panic. He remained calm and composed, and the festivities continued.

No interruptions occurred.

To celebrate the occasion, they even went to great lengths to hire a professional opera troupe from outside for a performance, maxing out the emotional value.

He waited until the day was almost over, with the sun hanging precariously in the west, before Boss Jiang calmly left the villa accompanied by Xu Kuan and a few guards.

Of course.

There was also Pei Yunxi.

As the owner of K.E Fashion Group, her personal interests were closely tied, and with the construction site bombed, she should be more upset than Boss Jiang.

The phrase "it's been bombed" carries no strong emotion. Only by visiting the site can one grasp the meaning of those words.

Tragic.

Incredibly tragic.

Just a few days ago, the place was vibrant and thriving, full of life and vigor. But now, the construction site of about 300 acres in front of them was like withering flowers, painfully wilted, ravaged and desolate, with remnants everywhere, various large construction machines destroyed, and all previous progress obliterated.

The only silver lining was that today was New Year's Eve, and the construction had paused, with workers on holiday, so aside from material losses, there were no severe casualties, although some on-duty personnel were unfortunately killed.

Looking at the cratered, ravaged land, Xu Kuan's face was grim and unsightly.

"Artillery, lots of artillery! Just like fireworks, whooshing..."

The person reporting from the scene was incoherent and stammering, seemingly overstimulated, saying a few words before being dismissed by Xu Kuan.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xu, it should be rocket artillery."

Dang Peng, one of the accompanying guards, stepped forward and whispered.

The other guards stood around, stern and grim.

Bombs, certainly, couldn't cause such an effect. To plow through hundreds of acres in one go would require a massive amount of explosives, which is a big operation that couldn't go unnoticed.

"Hmm. It's rocket artillery."

Xu Kuan also agreed with this assessment.

Jiang Chen remained calm and inscrutable as he looked around.

"Rocket artillery range is about a hundred kilometers, right?"

"The conventional range is 70 to 130 kilometers, with a maximum of no more than 300 kilometers. Beyond 300 kilometers, it's no longer rocket artillery; it's a short-range missile."

A soldier indeed knows their stuff.

Maximum range of 300 kilometers.

With this place as the center, that's quite a large circle.

Finding the attack location accurately and swiftly is difficult, let alone within visual range.

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and simply asked, "Within a 300-kilometer circle, are there any other forces' territories?"

Spot on!

Xu Kuan seemed prepared, shaking his head as he said, "Kaluzi is located in the heart of Allied Army-controlled territory..."

Meaning.

Regardless of which direction or specific coordinates the rockets came from, it must be within Allied Army territory.

But this doesn't explain much.

Forget about rockets; with technological advances, missile launches have become extraordinarily easy. Just a launch vehicle is needed, and with a bit of caution, they're not easily noticed.

The atmosphere became quiet again.

Only the endless ruin was in sight.

"Have you realized the brutality of business warfare?"

Jiang Chen said softly.

Truly an extraordinary individual.

Even at times like this, he has the presence of mind to joke.

Rocket artillery has been brought out.

Take a good look.

Which business war plays like this?

"Why choose here?" Pei Yunxi, with admirable composure, looked at the razed construction site, "Don't they know the coordinates of the villa?"

As she spoke as if to herself, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly.

Indeed.

300 kilometers.

The firepower coverage area can encompass the entire Kaluzi City.

If the target were different.

Then this place wouldn't suffer.

Imagine interviewing someone who's eating hot pot and singing, then suddenly out of nowhere, there's a meteor shower; how would that feel?

Boss Jiang was silent; maybe the imagined scene didn't feel so great. After a moment, he said, "Even in war, you can't attack civilian areas at will. That's against humanitarianism and would cause international condemnation."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere was quiet once more.

But it's undeniable that this reasoning is quite reasonable.

Attacking construction sites far from populated areas doesn't cause much impact, but openly bombarding a city indeed requires consideration of the consequences.

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Pei is right; you should consider relocating."

Xu Kuan cautiously advised.

Bombing a city might be unlikely, but better safe than sorry; there are always some who don't play by the rules.

Normal people surely wouldn't want to risk worldwide condemnation, but some aren't normal and might have mental issues.

Forget about ordinary people; what about the United Nations humanitarian aid groups? They still get bombed.

Guards can fend off gentlemen, but not villains.

Boss Jiang surely isn't stubborn; it's not worth risking his life and fortune betting the opponent will follow the rules.

The key is, they haven't even seen what the enemy looks like; it's not worth it.

"This is indeed an unforgettable New Year's Eve."

He was touched by the scene.

Xu Kuan's expression changed, deeply embarrassed, he immediately said, "Mr. Jiang, I'll report to Chief Jin immediately to find out who's behind this."

It's embarrassing indeed for someone to audaciously bombard the heartland, supposedly their own territory.

"Let's just let it go for tonight, New Year's Eve. Wait till tomorrow to wish him a Happy New Year."

Boss Jiang truly handled social etiquette to the utmost.

How considerate!

Xu Kuan bowed his head, "Yes."

Looking at the vast ruins, Boss Jiang suddenly, inexplicably pulled out his phone, turned it horizontally, and focused the zoom.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Yunxi looked at him.

Someone naturally clicked his fingers.

"Click."

The shutter sound was heard.

"Taking a photo and posting it on social media."

"..."

Pei Yunxi looked on blankly.
