Chapter 744 Difficult Debate
When Lu Yu and his group entered the deliberation hall, many people were already there. Rows of tables faced a stage, and the two sides of the debating teams sat on the stage.
At that moment, Qin Yang walked up to the stage and sat on a seat on one side.
The stage was where the two sides debated, with two rows of seats opposite each other.
The hundreds of seats below allowed the audience to listen and vote.
The people sitting on stage were basically canvassing for votes. They had to provide convincing arguments for their debates.
After Qin Yang went up on stage, the audience animatedly discussed among themselves.
Lu Yu and the others sat in the audience and didn’t follow Qin Yang up.
Qin Yang had his own dedicated debating team so that he could conduct the debate from a more professional perspective.
As for Lu Yu and the others, they probably didn’t even have the right to participate. Thus, they only decided to watch, as they had no right to vote.
Lu Yu and the others sat upright in their spectator seats, looking around the hall.
The representatives of the Aquamarine Company also walked up on stage.
The one who took the lead was a woman in a black suit. She looked young, but her expression was cold, and her movements were swift and brisk; she quickly walked to her seat.
After she sat down, she looked at Qin Yang and said stoically, “Qin Yang, why isn’t your father here?”
“Hu Xue, my dad is tired of your stubbornness. Today, I’ll be your opponent.” Qin Yang replied unhappily.
Hu Xue sat in her seat and ignored Qin Yang, tying her hair into a ponytail.
Qin Yang was irritated that he was being ignored, but he held it in. If he were to lose his temper on such an occasion, he would only lose everyone’s trust.
More than a hundred people were present, all of whom were representatives of the major companies in the Star Science Chamber of Commerce. Whether Qin Yang could convince them or not depended on his performance later.
He didn’t have much time left to drag this out.
Hu Xue looked at Qin Yang and continued, “It seems like your father has given up, and that’s why he sent you here. It seems like my preparations yesterday were in vain.”
Qin Yang was displeased. “Who are you looking down on? My dad sent me here to put a conclusion to this debate!”
“Oh, really? It seems like you are their trump card. So tell me, why do we have to start a war?”
Hu Xue’s eyes were fixed on Qin Yang, and her eyes had a disapproving look. She stared at him curiously, hoping that he would say something different.
Qin Yang picked up some documents that he had prepared and began to explain.
“First of all, we’ve finalized our investigation into Star Ocean City. The information we gathered is enough to prove that the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on us.”
“If Star Ocean City had fallen that day, I firmly believe that the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce would have immediately taken the opportunity to launch an all-out attack on us!”
Hu Xue realized what Qin Yang had said made sense when he announced this.
They knew very well how important Star Ocean City was. There were only fewer than a handful of cities more critical to the Star Science Chamber of Commerce than Star Ocean City.
“But that didn’t happen. What you said is just a hypothesis, and you can’t prove it.”
Hu Xue picked up the document in her hand and looked at Qin Yang. She began to say slowly, “The gap in strength between the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce and us is too great. Once we start fighting, we might suffer a 90% loss. We cannot afford to risk this loss even if we win.”
“Outside our country, the Lionheart Empire is eyeing us covetously. They have already started many wars in the territories around us.”
“The Freedom Federation in the north also harbors enmity. If we were to engage in a great battle and weaken ourselves, they would likely launch a surprise attack on us.”
After Hu Xue finished speaking, there was a round of applause.
“Exactly! With that many enemies watching us from the outside, you would be crazy to start a war!”
“I’m speechless. What is the Qin family doing? They’ve really let down our trust in them!”
“If we fight, won’t we be digging our own graves? Even if the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce provokes us repeatedly, we mustn’t do anything.”
“There’s no need for us to take the initiative to attack. We can just keep defending. If the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce takes the initiative, it won’t be too late for us to counterattack.”
“Yeah, I support Hu Xue as well.”
The public’s opinion showed that Qin Yang had no advantage in this debate.
“We have to fight. The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce is already making preparations to invade us. We must make preparations now! ”
“At the very least, we must mobilize our weapons to the border and deploy them!”
Hu Xue looked at Qin Yang indifferently and shook her head slightly. “There’s a cost to doing these things. If you want to do it, you can do it yourself.”
Qin Yang was furious. How could they fight against the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce with just their family? This was simply unrealistic!
“Hu Xue, if we miss the opportunity, we will make a grave mistake!”
“If you want me to listen to you, then give me something that will convince me.”
“This war must be fought. No one can stop it!” Qin Yang angrily stated.
Hu Xue only smiled faintly. “We have always advocated for peace. We are not on the same page as warmongers like you. ”
“Why are you in such a hurry to fight a war? Do you really want to see our people die?”
Hu Xue looked at Qin Yang with a cold smile, and she knew this question would leave him speechless.
Bloodshed was inevitable in a war, and it was impossible for there to be zero casualties. However, if they didn’t fight now, more people would die in the future.
At that moment, Qin Yang turned to look at Lu Yu.
He wanted to tell them everything Lu Yu and the others knew, but he didn’t dare do so without Lu Yu’s consent.
They didn’t know about the Ember Empire and the Truth Department being in the ancient ruins.
They also didn’t know about the cooperation between the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce and the Truth Department.
...
In the Star Science Chamber of Commerce, only the Qin family and Wang Meng knew about this.
At that moment, Lu Yu looked at Qin Yang’s distressed look and sighed helplessly.
They discussed everything that needed to be addressed in the previous debate and calculated the outcome. Once they started fighting, everyone knew they would suffer heavy losses.
The people below the stage were also more inclined to stay passive. After all, once they started fighting, everyone would suffer losses. Merchants were most afraid of losing their interests, and persuading them to start a war for nothing was nearly impossible.
Xu Yuan looked at Qin Yang and sighed helplessly. “He’s powerless. I’m sure this debate won’t end well.”
“Why don’t you go up and help him?” Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and asked.
