Xia Guolong appeared to be in his fifties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, a broad face, and eyes that sparkled with vigor. He exuded both the sharpness of a soldier and the imposing authority of a leader!

His temples showed streaks of gray hair, which added an aura of fearsome majesty to his whole demeanor!

At this moment, Xia Guolong wore a Zhongshan suit, perfectly tailored to him. As he and Russian President Lovich entered, the entire lounge fell instantly silent!

Russian President Lovich still maintained his serious demeanor as he walked with Xia Guolong, akin to walking with a tiger or striding with a dragon, making hearts tremble!

Besides China's top leader Xia Guolong and Russian President Lovich, they were followed by Wildcat, Xue Shi, as well as Yuliy and Polar Bear Hake!

However, when Yuliy saw Ye Feng also inside the lounge, her delicate face instantly flushed with red, her beautiful eyes darted evasively, not daring to meet Ye Feng's gaze!

On the other hand, upon seeing Ye Feng, Polar Bear Hake's bearded face immediately displayed intense ferocity and rage, his forehead veins pulsing wildly, as if he had a deep vendetta against Ye Feng, filled with a strong desire to fight!

Seeing the expressions of Yuliy and Polar Bear Hake, Ye Feng's eyelid twitched incessantly:

"Could it be... could it be that Lovich knows about that matter?"

As Ye Feng thought this, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly and turned his gaze toward Russian President Lovich, but strangely, Lovich's face was as usual, showing not a hint of anomaly!

Seemingly feeling Ye Feng's gaze, Lovich turned and glanced at Ye Feng, then nodded with a smile!

Lovich's expression made Ye Feng even more confused, so he could only shake his head and refrain from overthinking!

"Honored guests, welcome to China!"

At this moment, China's top leader Xia Guolong spoke up!

Xia Guolong gave a faint smile to everyone in the hall and then said:

"Our military parade this time is to commemorate the 70th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the Anti-Fascist War, a triumph of peace and justice! Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to join in the viewing, on behalf of our Chinese government and the people, I welcome everyone!!!"

Xia Guolong's words were powerful and forceful, neither servile nor overbearing, and as he finished, the entire hall burst into thunderous applause!

Xia Guolong waved his hand, then said with a smile to everyone:

"To express our gratitude, we in China have prepared a banquet to treat you!"

After saying this, Xia Guolong clapped his hands, and immediately two ceremonial ladies in the hall opened an inner door, revealing a resplendent banquet hall inside!

This banquet hall was larger than the lounge, with a long redwood table in the center surrounded by luxurious chairs, appearing like an Imperial Palace, grand and lavish!

Under Xia Guolong's invitation, the heads of state and political figures of various countries entered the banquet hall and sat straight away!

Behind them, Ye Feng also stood up, walking alongside Wildcat and Xue Shi!

However, Ye Feng noticed that Xue Shi looked pale and fatigued, as if he hadn't slept all night, prompting Ye Feng to ask in confusion:

"Xue Shi, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

Ye Feng carefully observed Xue Shi and didn't notice any symptoms!

Upon hearing Ye Feng's inquiry, Wildcat cheerfully patted Xue Shi's shoulder and said to Ye Feng:

"Boss, this big dull guy hasn't been talking much today, he must have something on his mind! I guess he's in heat or something! Sadly, he's a blockhead; I asked him for half a day, and he wouldn't say a word!"

At this moment, Xue Shi gave a stiff smile and said to Ye Feng:

"Boss, I... I'm fine, don't worry!"

Ye Feng understood Xue Shi's personality; he was taciturn, and if he didn't want to speak, asking would be in vain!

So he could only shake his head and say:

"Alright! If there's any trouble, you can tell us anytime; we are your brothers and your family!"

Ye Feng's words warmed Xue Shi's heart, and as he looked at Ye Feng, his tiger eyes turned slightly red, and he gave a foolish smile:

"Don't worry, Boss, I will!"

Saying this, Xue Shi's gaze toward Ye Feng was filled with deep pain and complexity!

As they conversed, the three walked into the banquet hall where all the heads of state and politicians were already seated!

Strangely, however, there was an empty seat directly below the position of the top leader!

"Ye Feng, hurry up and come over!"

In the astonished gazes of everyone, China's top leader Xia Guolong smiled and called out to Ye Feng!

Hearing this, not only Ye Feng but everyone in the hall was stunned!

At this long table sat the prime ministers and leaders of various countries, the lowest rank being representatives of the Imperial Family like Princess Alice representing France!

Even Russian President Lovich's daughter Yuliy wasn't qualified to sit!

Now, China's top leader inviting Ye Feng to be seated shocked everyone!

Many other leaders had more or less relationships with Ye Feng, each smiling without much surprise!

However, French Princess Alice and Korean female President Jin Hui simultaneously frowned!

Especially French Princess Alice, who felt her anger surge and first spoke publicly:

"Commander Xia, this seems inappropriate! That guy is just a small attendant, a serviceman bodyguard type! All of us here are key political figures and leaders from various nations, how can he be allowed to sit?"

Having someone voice their opinion first, Korean female President Jin Hui showed a trace of joy as she also said:

"I agree with Princess Alice! Though Ye Feng is somewhat famous in your China, he still isn't qualified enough to participate in our banquet! Moreover, that seat is reserved for the second leader, and if Ye Feng sits there, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the second leader?"

The reception of heads of state was supposed to be jointly attended by China's top leader and second leader, but the second leader didn't appear tonight, hence a seat was left empty!

What Alice and Jin Hui didn't expect was the top leader allowing an attendant and bodyguard dual-role figure to accompany, giving them instant feelings of being slighted and insulted!

Yet, towards the questioning of French Princess Alice and President Jin Hui, the top leader Xia Guolong merely smiled:

"Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you don't understand Ye Feng's status in our China! He is our Chinese hero, our pillar! He stands equally with me and the second leader!"

"Today, the second leader isn't feeling well, so he entrusted me to let Ye Feng replace him to host you! Therefore, this seat, Ye Feng has more right to occupy than Princess Alice and President Jin!"
