Chapter 1007 Unsolvable Puzzle

Shangguan Shi held up her thumb and said to Han Xinye, "Miss Han, you’re really fierce.""Of course." Pleased with Wang Zheng’s shocked expression and Shangguan Shi's compliment, Han Xinye patted her...Chapter 1007: An Unsolvable Puzzle

"That's true."

Wang Zheng wholeheartedly agreed with this statement. Some officials in China are born to be politicians, and the big shots at the top of the political arena are even more so. There’s a saying that if Obama came to China to serve as mayor, he would be undermined by his subordinates within two months because who can compete with the Chinese when it comes to maneuvering

"All we can do is hope that our compatriots held hostage will be okay for now. If not for me, they wouldn’t have been put in this situation." Thinking about how so many fellow countrymen were being held captive because of him made Wang Zheng feel depressed. He leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh.

"It’s not your fault,"賀岩拍了拍王錚的大腿說道："This is something Arlo brought upon himself. These terrorists are narrow-minded and arrogant, thinking that no one dares to provoke them because they’re the world's number one. But how could these ignorant brutes know that China has become so powerful now! Daring to take hostages of Chinese citizens truly means they think their lives have been too long."

"Arlo, Arlo." Recalling this name, Wang Zheng’s eyes showed a bone-chilling coldness.

Hè Yán's car was running red lights all the way through Hong Kong streets. There really wasn’t any other choice; time was too tight to follow traffic rules.

Right as they were about to reach the airport, He Yan, who had been looking at his phone, suddenly spoke up: "This is going to get interesting."

"What's going on" Wang Zheng's gaze turned serious; he realized that another unpleasant event might be about to happen.

"They're blackmailing!" He Yan directly threw his phone to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng skimmed through the information on the screen, and a dangerous light shone in his pupils.

The leader of Ashmar Armed Organization, Arrog, rejected China's government's request for negotiations via satellite. Arrog stated that if China’s government wanted to ensure the safe return of over forty hostages, they must trade one person for them, and this person is called Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng softly recited it as he swiped through his phone screen; a sneer gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Male citizen of China. This year…" To his surprise, Wang Zheng saw detailed information and photos of himself. It seemed that Arrog had done thorough research or perhaps the masked man behind the scenes provided all this to the terrorists.

“Well then, everyone in the world knows my face now,” Wang Zheng said gloomily: “Even if they have to publicize a photo of me, why pick one from my ID Look at how handsome I am; it's like I was photographed as an inmate! What’s the point”

“Trading my life for those forty or so lives is such a good deal. Arrog has made a very shrewd calculation.” Wang Zheng's smile was cold.

Guo Yan curled his lip and said, "I really admire you. You still have the mood to joke around at a time like this. The whole world is watching you."

"The world isn't just looking at me, but rather they're all staring at the Chinese government and seeing whether or not they would sacrifice one citizen’s life for another forty-some citizens’ lives. This question is really difficult," Wang Zheng said. "Why am I still so uneasy Because due to this statement, all of the pressure has transferred onto the Chinese government. Everyone is looking at them to see how they handle a crisis and whether or not their leaders have the ability."

"So Aluko truly went overboard this time," Wang Zheng looked out the car window at the traffic and said in an indifferent tone, "If he provokes the Chinese government, it will be his death."

This news was like a bomb that set off a flurry of reactions online. No one expected the armed terrorist organization to choose such a high-profile method this time around—openly kidnapping Chinese citizens and demanding something from the Chinese government in exchange, not for ransom but simply for one man.

For you, I can kidnap the entire world—it looks like thick bromance, doesn't it It's really touching.

Many countries have already made statements condemning Ashmir’s inhumane actions and demanding their release of hostages. However, these are merely hollow words from government spokespersons who simply want to watch a good show. These condemnations and statements won’t make any impact on the Ashmir organization at all.

But the Chinese government, the center of this incident, has yet to issue any statement, which caused more speculation online.

Everyone was wondering what kind of person Wang Zheng was that he could be worth so much trouble for Aluko to go as far as blackmailing the Chinese government. Of course, some people believed it would be easy—just hand over Wang Zheng; after all, forty-some lives are more valuable than one life. If the Chinese government refused and those forty-some citizens lost their lives because of this, it would be a very heart-rending situation.

However, to hand over one person for the sake of the forty or so others, doesn't it chill one's heart

After all, if the Huaxia government refuses to exchange, then the lives of these forty-plus individuals will be under grave threat. These terrorists are not religious men and women; they are a group who abandon their humanity for their fanatical beliefs, so there is no reasoning with them.

The forty-plus hostages would become a huge bargaining chip for them. If Huaxia mobilizes troops over this matter, then Al-Orco could declare that he will execute one hostage every half an hour—don't these terrorists do just that

Perhaps many netizens might think it's reasonable to save forty-plus people at the cost of one life, after all, sacrificing the small self for the greater good is a spirit Huaxia always claims. But let’s change our perspective and assume we are in the position of the Huaxia government:

Suppose your tram suddenly loses its brakes and you see five workers on the tracks ahead who can't get out of the way in time. You're watching helplessly as five lives are about to be crushed, but then you notice there's a siding with only one worker who is also unable to move away from danger. Your steering wheel still works, giving you two options: save five by killing one or kill five to save one

Who can answer this question

This is an unsolvable dilemma that gives one chills when thought about deeply.

This is the predicament facing the Huaxia government. These leaders are not ostriches who can bury their heads in the sand and ignore everything.look really cute."The ear drum on this side is still intact, so Elbis could hear him fairly well.
