Lalisa's eyes lit up when she spotted Yoongi. She didn't expect she would meet Yoongi here. Wasn't he abroad? Why did he show up in the state banquet?
"I didn't expect President Jeon to appear here. It seems that President Jeon must have made great contributions to our nation." Yoongi looked at Jungkook and his face turned cold. "But I wonder whether President Jeon's hands are still clean..."
"Mr. Min." Jungkook scowled and his aura became cold. He stared at Yoongi as he said sternly, "I'm being polite to you for the sake of Lisa. Do you think I'll be scared being asked this question here by you? Lisa knows everything about me, including those even you don't know. You'd better not meddle in my affairs!"
"Then I hope you won't put Lili in danger!" Yoongi looked coldly at Jungkook and said, "The anti-terrorism army has kept an eye on you. Do you think I went to the west side because I heard you were there? Do you think that you were so important? You should thank god that I'm Lili's brother. Otherwise your shipment wouldn't be able to get out of the capital!"
Jungkook frowned. "You knew the shipment was actually on the south side?"
"Yes, it's just a little trick. You can't fool me with that. I just let you off for the sake of Lili." Yoongi said and looked at the president who was walking towards him. "You'd better tell them about your real identity and what you're up to. Then I can decide whether I should let you off like this morning next time or not."
Jungkook raised his eyebrows and smiled as he said, "I think you've guessed what my real identity is, right?" Looking at the president approaching them, he smiled. "But I'm not the nation's enemy, but its friend. I think your boss will tell you about this."
"Jeon Jungkook." The president was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was tall and handsome, and didn't look inferior to Jungkook at all. He reached out towards Jungkook. "Welcome to this banquet. It's great to meet you here. Thank you for helping us last time."
Jungkook smiled and said flatly, "I'm flattered. As a citizen of this nation, that was what I should do. Although I'm just a businessman, I sincerely hope my country can be strong. It is better to serve my own country than to contribute our research to other countries."
The president nodded with a smile and looked at the president of the small country who kept looking at their side, asking, "It seems that, that president is also interested in you. Do you want to talk to him?"
Jungkook shook his head. "No, thanks. Mr. President." Then he made way for the president. The latter smiled, looked at Yoongi and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Min, take care of Jeon Jungkook for me. He has made great contributions to our national defense."
After the president left, Yoongi looked at Jungkook and frowned. "It seems that you have good relations with the government, but you have so many enemies abroad."
Jungkook smiled. "But they can't kill me." Who would expect Jeon of the Long Xiao Group was the president of the Jeon's International Group? And who would expect he not only had his own army, but also had Country Z's military force protect him?
Although he didn't expect the military would offer him protection when he gave support to them, he wouldn't refuse their protection.
At this time, Lalisa walked over, blinked at Yoongi, stopped two steps away from them and asked Yoongi, "Yoongi, why don't you go home since you've come back from abroad?"
Yoongi was a bit distracted by Lalisa's current face, but soon he smiled gently, asking, "Miss Kwon, are you speaking to me?"
Lalisa chuckled. Yoongi was too cautious! Then she shrugged, went back to her seat and sat down. Jungkook suddenly took Lalisa's arm, saying, "Let me take you back to your seat."
