Chapter 1017 - 1014: Public Proposal
Lin Chuan said with a smile, "I have nothing to say. I accept this verdict."
A CNN reporter asked Lin Chuan, "Mr. Lin, who do you want to speak to most at this moment?"
Lin Chuan lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "At this moment, I want to say to the woman I love, I love you, and that will never change."
The reporter playfully asked again, "Mr. Lin, can you reveal the name of the woman you're talking about?"
A deep emotion filled Lin Chuan's eyes as he slowly said, "I can. She's the woman I can never forget in this lifetime. Her name is Tang Yumeng."
Outside, Tang Yumeng was intently watching the big screen. Hearing Lin Chuan's words, her whole body trembled slightly and tears instantly flowed. Suddenly, she ran into the courtroom, disregarding everything.
The women on the scene who had been involved with Lin Chuan felt a wave of discomfort upon hearing his words. It was unexpected that the person Lin Chuan loved most was not one of them.
Yang Zi was also in the crowd. When she heard Lin Chuan's words, her face turned pale, and a jealous fire lit up in her eyes as she muttered to herself, "Lin Chuan, you bastard, go to hell. I won't let you off."
Nuo Xiaoxi was the daughter-in-law chosen by Lin Chuan's mother. Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, her reaction wasn't as strong as Yang Zi's. Although she felt a slight sense of loss, she was still happy for Lin Chuan.
Tang Yumeng ran towards the courtroom. Blue Fox tried to reach out to stop her, but Silver Fox sighed and said, "Blue Fox, don't stop her. Let her go, let's leave."
Blue Fox saw the deep sadness in Silver Fox's eyes. She knew Silver Fox was involved with Lin Chuan. Love truly is harmful, even a strong woman like her has been tortured by it.
Little Pepper Zhou Rui felt even more uncomfortable, her face turning somewhat pale, and she looked about ready to faint. Zhou Kai understood Zhou Rui's feelings and quickly asked Lu Dapao and Li Qiang to take her back to the hotel to rest.
Tang Yumeng pushed her way through the crowd and had a hard time reaching the courtroom door, only to be stopped by two peacekeeping officers.
"I'm Tang Yumeng, the woman Lin Chuan mentioned. I want to see him." At this moment, Tang Yumeng had only Lin Chuan on her mind; she would see him today even if it killed her.
The two peacekeeping officers exchanged a glance and silently made way for Tang Yumeng.
Tang Yumeng rushed into the courtroom against all odds and didn't care about the bewildered looks from the crowd, shouting loudly, "Lin Chuan."
When Lin Chuan saw Tang Yumeng, he was also excited and shouted back with equal fervor, "Yumeng."
At this moment, Tang Yumeng was no longer the timid City Committee Secretary. She had forgotten her identity and only wanted to throw herself into Lin Chuan's arms.
She ran over recklessly, not caring how many people were watching, and plunged into Lin Chuan's embrace.
With handcuffs on his hands, Lin Chuan reached around the back of Tang Yumeng's head, holding her tightly.
This was a globally broadcasted live event, the scene being transmitted to every corner of the world.
The Jiangbei City Committee.
The committee members who were watching the live broadcast suddenly saw a familiar face on the TV screen. One person pointed at the screen and said, "Isn't that our Secretary Tang?"
"Yes, yes, it is Secretary Tang." Another person rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't mistaken.
The First Deputy Secretary's face looked a bit unnatural and said, "Secretary Tang is being ridiculous. How can a dignified City Committee Secretary behave like this in front of the world?"
"Secretary Liao, you can't say that. I think Secretary Tang's actions are admirable." The organization minister offered a different opinion.
Over this issue, the City Committee leaders were divided into two factions, one supporting Tang Yumeng and the other supporting Secretary Liao, creating a chaotic scene.
The Provincial Committee Office.
Secretary Liu of the Provincial Committee saw the broadcast too and said to his staff, "Looks like our Jiangbei City Committee Secretary is quite something, to be so bold for love."
Secretary Zhang of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission chuckled and said, "Didn't she learn from you? Remember when you proposed to Comrade Xiao Li in the dead of night with hundreds of roses and thousands of candles in front of everyone?"
Secretary Liu laughed awkwardly and said, "Ah, to be young again. We've all gotten old."
General Chen Zhenguo was also watching the broadcast, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily at the scene, saying to Li Xiangguo who was sitting beside him, "This kid Lin Chuan, pulling off something like this in front of the entire world, I have to applaud him."
Li Xiangguo chuckled, "This kid often does things that surprise people. In this aspect, he's a lot like you when you were young."
The General nodded and said, "Yes, this kid does remind me of my younger self, full of resilience and determination. That's why I like him. However, the Chairman might not know what to do with him once he's back in the country."
Li Xiangguo said, "I don't know about that either. Let's wait until the kid comes back before making any decisions."
British Royal Family.
Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip were also watching the broadcast.
"Dear, is this Lin Chuan you often mention? This kid is really interesting." Prince Philip said while watching the screen and smiling.
The Queen also smiled slightly, saying, "I just like men like Lin Chuan who are genuine and full of passion and tenderness."
United States, Villa Number One in Washington Gardens.
Omama was also watching the live broadcast, and instead of being upset about Lin Chuan's antics at the trial, he found himself liking this guy. He started to wonder if letting Lin Chuan go free was a mistake.
I must find a way to make up for this mistake, Omama thought to himself, we can't just let Lin Chuan walk away; our country needs talents like him.
Inside the Washington branch of the International Military Court's courtroom.
Tang Yumeng held onto Lin Chuan tightly, unable to let go for even a moment.
Lin Chuan clearly felt Tang Yumeng's genuine feelings, and suddenly his eyes showed a determined expression. He held Tang Yumeng tightly and said to the cameras of major media outlets, "I, Lin Chuan, declare that from today, Tang Yumeng is my lawful wife."
Wow...
This statement set the world ablaze once again.
When Lin Chuan spoke those words, countless girls at the square had their hearts broken. They had come all the way to Washington just to gain a smile from Lin Chuan.
Although they knew being with Lin Chuan was almost impossible, as long as he was single, there was hope.
Now, that hope was completely extinguished with Lin Chuan's words. The girls started crying openly in the square, with some even shouting Lin Chuan's name amidst their sobs.
Tang Yumeng held onto Lin Chuan tightly, and upon hearing Lin Chuan announce this, she became extremely excited, lifting her beautiful face with luscious lips automatically moving towards him.
Lin Chuan smiled slightly, lowered his head, and kissed Tang Yumeng tightly.
Wow...
Faced with such footage, the whole world was in an uproar once again.
Today's public trial was indeed very interesting and full of spectacle.
Huang Bo and Zhou Kai were still in the square. Seeing this scene, Huang Bo said enviously, "The boss is always the boss; his style of doing things is really our model to learn from."
Zhou Kai admired Lin Chuan greatly and laughed loudly, "Huang Bo, having a boss like him is our blessing. We'll follow him, and Jvyi Gang will definitely become famous worldwide."
Yang Zi hadn't left yet. Watching Lin Chuan announce his marriage with Tang Yumeng and seeing the two of them embrace and kiss in front of the world made her feel both envious and jealous.
If only she could be kissing Lin Chuan in front of the world right now. But, Lin Chuan chose someone else. She immediately clenched her teeth with rage.
Tang Yumeng, you bitch, daring to steal my man, I'll deal with you. Yang Zi's eyes darkened, showing a fierce look that chilled the heart.
At this moment, the entire internet went wild.
Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng embraced and kissed each other in the courtroom before the whole world. This footage saw clicks soar on major websites, reaching over three hundred million views within two hours.
Netizens began expressing their opinions on websites, with most praising Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng, commending them for their willingness to endure hardships for love, which was worthy of learning.
Nevertheless, quite a few opposed, thinking Lin Chuan was merely seeking publicity, using this opportunity to make his girlfriend known worldwide.
Some even claimed this was a staged scene between Lin Chuan and the Americans, named "A Loser's Comeback."
Haha.
In the courtroom, major media outlets continued filming Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng, paying no attention to the presiding judges and tribunal members who had become mere decorations.
Francis couldn't hold his face anymore, banging the gavel hard against the table, shouting, "This is a court. Please respect the court."
No one paid him any attention, not even switching a camera to capture him.
Seeing this situation, Francis couldn't stay seated, and silently withdrew from the courtroom with several tribunal members.
This live broadcast-style kiss lasted for almost half an hour, causing admiration for their kissing skill to be inevitable. Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng kissed for half an hour, with major media capturing them the entire time.
It wasn't until some police officers urged them to separate did they reluctantly part ways.
"Lin Chuan, I will wait for you," Tang Yumeng said passionately.
Lin Chuan nodded with a smile, saying, "Yumeng, rest assured, we will reunite soon. When that time comes, I will host a super grand wedding, making you the happiest bride in the world."
