Hu Shijun, perceiving the tone of Liu Yong, immediately voiced his concern [ " Brother Yong, do you believe that the YD National Search and Rescue Center might backtrack on their promise and refuse to fulfill their commitment of providing us with the $100 million? " ]

Liu Yong responded, acknowledging the possibility, and instructed Hu Shijun, [ " There is a chance of that happening. Your task is to proactively contact them and ensure the retrieval of the $100 million as soon as possible. " ]

Hu Shijun couldn\'t help but become angry, exclaiming, [ " How is this possible? How can they disregard the agreed-upon $100 million? " ]

Liu Yong comforted him, saying, [ " You reach out to them first. If they truly repent, don\'t rush. I have a method to counter their actions. " ]

[ " Alright, I will do as you\'ve asked, " ] Hu Shijun replied.

Liu Yong suddenly had a solution, and Hu Shijun immediately felt a sense of relief. His trust in Liu Yong was unwavering.

[ " If Brother Yong says there\'s a way, then there must be a way, " ] he thought, even though he was uncertain about the specific approach Liu Yong intended to employ.

Meanwhile, at the YD National Search and Rescue Center, preparations were underway for yet another press conference, the number of which had become difficult to keep track of. Since the plane crash, they have conducted at least ten meetings within 20 days.

However, this particular press conference held a different atmosphere than the others. The scale was more significant, and there was an air of anticipation hinting at an important announcement.

Several reporters seemed privy to some information as they wore joyful expressions.

At 10 a.m. local time, the press conference officially commenced. Key officials from the YD National Search and Rescue Center were present, except for Myron.

The reporters should have paid more attention to Myron\'s absence, nor did they delve into the underlying reasons. Instead, they focused on the spokesperson representing the search and rescue centre.

This high-ranking official spokesperson began the briefing, [ " Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to share some good news with you today. We have located the wreckage of the crashed plane. Currently, we are conducting an organized search and recovery operation. " ]

The entire news hall erupted in excitement as the atmosphere became electrifying. Some local reporters from YD even raised their arms and shouted in jubilation.

[ " This is fantastic! " ]

[ " What exhilarating news! " ]

[ " May the departed rest in peace. This ordeal is finally coming to an end. " ]

The news hall buzzed with conversation as everyone discussed the developments.

Following the briefing, the session transitioned to a question-and-answer segment, during which several reporters posed various inquiries, most of which praised the search and rescue centre for their outstanding work.

A reporter from Yanguo raised his hand, seeking permission to ask a question. After receiving approval, he spoke up, [ " I heard that Yanguo\'s Global Shipping Group was the first to discover and salvage the wreckage of the plane. Is that correct? " ]

During their briefing, the search and rescue centre had yet to mention the initial discoverer of the wreckage. The Yanguo reporter\'s query prompted other journalists to realize the significance of this detail—who had indeed been the first to find the plane\'s wreckage? This was important news.

A sense of anticipation filled the hall as the officials addressed the reporter\'s question.

[ " The speculative crash site we initially announced was incorrect. After reassessment, we revealed the accurate crash location. The salvage ship from the Global Shipping Group arrived at this location first and successfully recovered two pieces of the plane\'s wreckage. " ]

The official emphasized, [ " I must clarify that locating and salvaging the plane\'s wreckage was not a challenging task due to the shallow waters in that area, with depths of just over 100 meters, and some even less. The critical factor was determining the precise crash site. " ]

The implication was clear—the search and rescue centre had made the most significant contribution. If they hadn\'t provided the correct crash location, the Global Shipping Group would not have been able to locate and recover the final two pieces of wreckage.

Any search and rescue or salvage ship could have accomplished the task as long as they were the first to reach the correct crash location once it was announced. The Global Shipping Group was fortunate to be the first in this case.

The revelation stirred up a commotion throughout the new hall. YD reporters found the explanation reasonable, while reporters from other countries held differing opinions.

The Yanguo reporter pressed on, stating, [ " According to our information, a few days ago, Mr. Myron, an official from the search and rescue center, publicly pledged to reward anyone providing valuable clues regarding the crashed plane with $20 million and $100 million for the wreckage. " ]

Immediately, a senior official from the YD International Search and Rescue Center came to Myron\'s defence, asserting, [ " Myron\'s statement was a personal remark and does not represent our Search and Rescue Center. On behalf of the center, I extend my apologies for Myron\'s inappropriate comments. " ]

He then pretended to bow apologetically and continued, [ " Of course, we express our gratitude to the Global Shipping Group for being the first to discover the wreckage of the crashed plane. " ]

The Yanguo reporter was taken aback. [ " Is that it? " ] he wondered, finding the official\'s response disingenuous.

Suppose it was Myron\'s statement and did not reflect the position of the YD National Search and Rescue Center. In that case, they should have clarified the matter earlier. Presenting this explanation now was akin to reneging on their commitment.

The reporter sympathized deeply with the Global Shipping Group. He knew the promised $100 million would likely never materialize, rendering their efforts futile.

Following the press conference, news reports concerning the discovery of the crashed plane\'s wreckage and the ongoing salvage operation by the YD National Search and Rescue Center flooded media outlets worldwide.

The focus of these reports naturally revolved around the successful location of the wreckage and the centre\'s systematic salvage efforts.

Only a few domestic news outlets in Yanguo highlighted that the YD National Search and Rescue Center still needed to uphold its promise.

Many individuals expressed sympathy towards the Global Shipping Group.

People began to ponder what actions the Global Shipping Group would take in the face of this predicament. Would they reluctantly accept their fate or pursue a different course of action?

At noon, Liu Yong had lunch with several company senior executives. Hu Shijun, visibly furious, vented his frustration.

[ " How shameless can they be? Now they claim that Myron\'s words were his own and not representative of the search and rescue center. Why didn\'t they clarify this earlier? " ]

[ " This level of shamelessness is unprecedented! I\'ve never seen anything like it, " ] he exclaimed.

Seeing calm and composed, Liu Yong smiled and reassured him, [ " Don\'t worry, don\'t let it get to you. Even if they attempt to renege on the $100 million, they will soon regret it. Without two or three billion dollars, they won\'t be able to put this matter to rest. " ]

[ " What? Two or three billion dollars? " ] Everyone\'s eyes widened, fixated on Liu Yong.

Liu Yong noticed their reactions and said, [ " Just wait and watch the show. Sometimes, they will be the ones to regret their decisions. " ]

Instantly, a sense of relief washed over everyone.
