I, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, am being kept by the state.

Li Chen's voice came through, as calm as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."

But this calmness, when heard by everyone in the conference room, was more shocking than a thunderclap.

"That's impossible!"

A young agent suddenly stood up, his chair sliding backward with a screeching sound.

"How can a tsunami just come out of nowhere? It defies all the principles of meteorology!"

"It must be a coincidence!"

Another researcher waved his arms excitedly, "It must be a coincidence! There's always been geological activity in that area, it just so happens..."

"It just so happens to have happened while we were in a meeting?"

Someone nearby objected, but their voice was noticeably weak.

The young agents' faces turned red. They had received a materialist education since childhood, and Marxist philosophy and dialectical materialism were ingrained in their bones.

Now you're suddenly telling them there's a dragon?

What's the difference between this and telling them the Earth is flat?

"coincide?"

Li Chen's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of amusement.

"You can check the weather records to see if this level of tsunami has ever occurred in this area in the last hundred years."

"No, only in the last two hundred years."

"Even in history."

Zhang Weiguo immediately took out his phone, his fingers trembling slightly with nervousness.

"Hello, is this Lao Wang? This is Zhang Weiguo."

He lowered his voice, but in the quiet conference room, every word was clearly audible.

"Check the weather data for the waters east of Diaoyu Island right away, yes, the area we just saw."

"What? You're already investigating?"

Zhang Weiguo was taken aback. "Why didn't your meteorological bureau issue a warning about the tsunami over there?"

The sound of frantic typing came from the other end of the phone, along with Old Wang's anxious voice.

"Old Zhang, this is really weird! All our satellite monitoring, ocean buoys, and earthquake monitoring stations have shown absolutely no abnormal data!"

"The tsunami seemed to appear out of nowhere!"

"and……"

Old Wang lowered his voice even further, "And the shape of that tsunami was strange, like...like it was controlled by something, specifically targeting the Japanese fleet!"

Zhang Weiguo's hands trembled even more violently.

Three minutes later, he hung up the phone, his face ashen.

"Director Liu..."

Zhang Weiguo swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. "The weather bureau said..."

He paused, looked around, and saw that everyone was staring intently at him.

"This area has never experienced a tsunami since meteorological records began."

"Moreover, based on ocean current data, seabed topography, and geological structure analysis, there are absolutely no conditions there for a tsunami to form."

"The tectonic plates are stable, the ocean currents are gentle, and the seabed is flat..."

"According to scientific principles, a tsunami is impossible, absolutely impossible, there!"

He practically shouted the last few words.

The meeting room was deathly silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

A middle-aged researcher wearing glasses slumped in a chair, his glasses askew but he didn't bother to straighten them.

His lips trembled; he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

"Nothing is impossible."

Li Chen's tone remained calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

"I said, I will only demonstrate it once."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"but……"

He changed the subject, his voice taking on a hint of authority.

"I have protected China for two thousand years and have never needed to prove anything to anyone."

"This display is only for the sake of you being Chinese citizens."

After those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting room became even more tense.

No one could speak.

They watched the tsunami footage on the screen, the warships being swallowed by the giant waves, and the Japanese soldiers struggling in the seawater.

There was only one thought in my mind.

This is real.

There really are dragons.

There really is a dragon that has protected China for two thousand years!

Moreover, this dragon has just made its move and annihilated the entire fleet of the Fusang Kingdom!

Liu Mingyuan's hands were trembling.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and his hand trembled so much that he had to try three times to light it.

I took a deep breath, and the smoke slowly rose into the air.

But his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It was a kind of fervent light.

"if……"

Liu Mingyuan spoke, his voice very soft, as if he were talking to himself.

"If you really recover your full strength..."

He looked up and stared intently at the necklace.

What will the Dragon Kingdom be like?

This question caused everyone present to hold their breath.

Yes, if this true dragon, which has protected China for two thousand years, has truly regained its full power...

What will China become?

Li Chen remained silent for a few seconds.

The dragon eye on the necklace seemed to flash with a golden light.

"The Dragon Kingdom will have no more external enemies."

Seven characters.

Just seven simple words.

But it caused an uproar in the conference room!

Everyone held their breath, their hearts pounded, and their blood boiled!

No more external enemies!

These four words carry immense weight!

Liu Mingyuan suddenly stood up, the cigarette butt slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground, sparks flying everywhere.

His chest heaved violently, and his eyes even turned a little red.

"Someone come here!"

His voice suddenly became high-pitched, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Contact your supervisor immediately! Use the highest level of encrypted dedicated line!"

"Just say..."

He looked at the necklace, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light, his voice trembling.

"Just say we've found a national treasure!"

"No!"

Liu Mingyuan paused, took a deep breath, and said, word by word:

"Let's say we've found the guardian deity of China!"

"We've found the true dragon that has protected China for two thousand years!"

……

Liu Mingyuan's order was issued very quickly.

The efficiency of the National Security Bureau was on full display at this moment.

In less than half an hour, the highest-level encrypted hotline within the National Security Bureau was directly connected to Zhongnanhai.

Everyone in the conference room was cleared out, and armed guards stood at the door.

Liu Mingyuan was left alone, talking on the video call.

On the other side of the screen were three familiar faces.

Chen Dong, a GWY official, has a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes; at this moment, his brows are furrowed.

JQ Wang Yijun is a burly man in military uniform with sharp, eagle-like eyes.

There's also GF Wei Liming, who is refined and gentle, but whose eyes sparkle with wisdom.

All three of them are capable of mobilizing a vast army with a single word.

"Liu Mingyuan".

Chen Dong spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

"You said on the phone that you'd found the guardian deity of China?"

"You need to think this through carefully. It's such a big deal."

"If it's a false report..."

"It's not a false report."

Liu Mingyuan interrupted him, took a deep breath, and held up the necklace on the table, pointing it at the camera.

"Distinguished leaders, this is a dragon-shaped necklace unearthed from the main burial chamber of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum."

"in……"

He paused for a moment, his voice becoming serious.

"There is a real dragon inside."

"A true dragon that has protected China for two thousand years!"
