Chapter 972: To Expose Chu Xun’s Lies!

Chu Xun said that besides the government troops, mercenaries hired by the Chu family would also be accompanying them on the trip to Iraq to protect them. Therefore, the trip would be extremely safe… For the people who went with her, it was a business deal with gains and no losses!

But at the end of the day, they were going to the frontlines of the Iraq War. It was a battlefield out there. Accidents would be inevitable. Chu Xun asked them who was willing to go with her.

Despite Chu Xun reassuring them that the trip was very safe, many of them didn’t dare to follow Chu Xun and put themselves in danger. In the end, only he and another colleague followed Chu Xun to Iraq.

Everything went smoothly in the beginning. With the government troops and mercenaries protecting them, even with the never-ending warfare around them, they were safe!

Later on, when they were moving closer to the frontlines, they were unexpectedly ambushed by the rebels…

Under the joint protection of the government troops and mercenaries, he, Chu Xun, and their colleague escaped with two mercenaries. But as they were fleeing, they lost the only two remaining mercenaries!

The three of them were powerless on the battlefield. After starving and living in constant fear for a day and a night, on the afternoon of the 22nd, they met Jiang Ming’an, the director of the Jiang family’s heavy machinery and equipment company. Jiang Ming’an had a team of people with him and was waiting for a helicopter to rescue them.

Knowing that the Jiang family would send a helicopter to rescue them, they nearly knelt on the floor to thank the heavens for their protection. They thought they would be able to return home!

Upon their arrival at the Jiang’s heavy machinery and equipment company, Jiang Ming’an’s wife, Lu Xiangsi, gave them food and gently comforted them. He was really infinitely grateful to Jiang Ming’an and his wife.

But on the 23rd, the rescue helicopter didn’t arrive, and they weren’t able to contact people back in China.

On the 24th, Jiang Ming’an decided to move the staff, as well as the other Chinese nationals who had come to take refuge, to the shelter at dawn. In order to calm everyone down, Jiang Ming’an’s wife, Lu Xiangsi, decided to stay behind and join the last group of people to evacuate.

After Jiang Ming’an confirmed that the route was safe, the second group agreed to let all the women and children evacuate first. But Chu Xun, who could have left with the second group, stayed behind to shoot some materials.

Who would have thought that not long after the second group left, terrorists would charge into the heavy machinery and equipment company to look for Jiang Ming’an’s wife, Lu Xiangsi, and shoot at random? His companion died at the hands of the terrorists.

Later on, the terrorists found and shot Lu Xiangsi and brought the rest of them to their base…

Then, the special forces soldiers rescued them. Lin Nuan, who was fluent in Arabic, left with the soldiers and returned not long after!

On the way to the port, Lin Nuan handed him a packet of materials that had been packed quickly. She said that inside the package was evidence of human trafficking and that it was critical information. Lin Nuan had overheard his conversation with Lu Xiangsi at the heavy machinery and equipment company and knew that he was a reporter, so she passed the materials to him in the hopes that he would release it to the public when he returned to China.

He was baffled at the time. Why couldn’t Lin Nuan do it herself? But thinking about it, he supposed that Lin Nuan assumed it would be more convenient for him to do so since he was a reporter.

He told Chu Xun about this when they got on the warship later on.

The day they returned to China, Chu Xun invited him to get in the car that the Chu family had sent to pick her up. She gave him a large sum of money and a promise of a brighter future in exchange for the materials!

He didn’t know Lin Nuan’s name back then, and he was afraid that after the news was reported, Lin Nuan would step out to say that she was the one who found all the evidence!

Chu Xun said if such a situation took place, the Chu family would take care of it, and he definitely wouldn’t get involved…

The temptation of wealth was hard to resist. He said his greed for riches blinded him at the time, and he gave the materials to Chu Xun.

What happened later was the news of Chu Xun infiltrating the terrorists’ territory and finding evidence of human trafficking, earning her the admiration and respect of others.

For a long time after that, that young lady never stepped out to speak up about this!

And all these years, this incident weighed on him like a huge stone in his heart, and he hadn’t been able to live in peace ever since.

One day, Lin Nuan suddenly exploded in popularity. He immediately recognized her to be that young lady who passed him the materials in Iraq and panicked.

He picked up the phone to tell Chu Xun about this, but he hesitated, as he didn’t want the Chu family to harm Lin Nuan. So, in the end, he chose to remain silent!

He had already taken away the fame that should have belonged to Lin Nuan. He couldn’t put her in danger!

He waited for Lin Nuan to tell the truth about what happened that year, but she never did. On the other hand, he remained anxious and fearful. It was as if there was a sharp sword hanging over his head!

Now, because of the “Eagles on the Sea” movie, everyone was talking about Chu Xun’s reputation and how the title of Mrs. Fu would have gone to her if not for the child…

He couldn’t stand by and watch any longer.

He stepped out today to expose Chu Xun’s lies!

Unlike what she reported to the public, Chu Xun didn’t brave any dangers alone. She didn’t infiltrate the terrorists’ territory to find evidence of human trafficking and the people behind it.

She was just a princess who was protected by government troops and mercenaries and was lucky enough to be saved by Mr. and Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Ming’an’s wife, Lu Xiangsi, stepped out to protect her and was shot to death, and then she was rescued by the special forces soldiers!

He thought that Chu Xun should have been grateful to Lu Xiangsi. But all these years, she never said a word about her, as if she had never met such a person!

He felt ashamed for what Chu Xun did. For the sake of her fame, she never said anything to the media about the person who saved her life.

It was all lies made up by Chu Xun!

He hoped the netizens would be able to see the real Chu Xun. He also used the opportunity to apologize to Lin Nuan for taking away the fame that should have belonged to her and giving it to Chu Xun back then, all for the sake of money and a bright future.

He said that people say that one can only see a person’s true colors when their fate hangs in the balance!

The time he and Lin Nuan spent together was short, but he saw a strong, righteous, and noble young lady!

When the women and children were evacuated, and Lu Xiangsi chose to stay behind and leave with the last group, Lin Nuan determinedly stayed behind with Lu Xiangsi. She didn’t do it for personal gain. She simply wanted to take care of the feeble Lu Xiangsi.

He even said that cyberbullying was terrifying, and he hoped that everyone wouldn’t fabricate false stories based on their conjectures before the truth was out. Otherwise, they would cause great harm to those involved! A movie was just a story, and he told them to please not project their thoughts and feelings on the actors!

The second Weibo post was a video…

The video was recorded at the Jiang family’s heavy machinery and equipment company in Samarra. It seemed to have been recorded secretly, as the video footage was shaky. The background noise in the video was reduced before it was uploaded, but the footage hadn’t been edited. The gory footage of the terrorists shooting people to death could be clearly seen, as well as… the footage of the terrorists grabbing the collar of Chu Xun’s shirt and asking her where Lu Xiangsi was!
