Chapter 564: A ban on the news

Many viewers were taken aback when their screens went dark suddenly without a single warning. No matter how many times they tried changing the channel and returning to it, the black on the screen remained. Some even wondered for a few seconds if the power had been shut off or the couple was in trouble.

Gu Xixi was quick to react, shouting into a radio at the news pd, "Go to commercials right now, right now."

But even her quick actions did not stop the confusion, in fact, it created more questions which people to the Internet.

[What happened to the live broadcast?]

[We need explanations phoenix tv why is the broadcast gone?]

[There must be a ban on the news because all articles on the treasure are gone just as quickly as they appeared. ]

[I work in the building opposite Phoenix and I can see soldiers all around. The whole place has been sealed off.]

[Have they met some kind of trouble down below? They said the island is filled with dangerous animals so the water must not be any different.]

[Pd, come out and explain before I send you a box of knives.]

But there were no explanations to be given because it was not simple sealing off of the Phoenix building, even the next program to air, which was the news was being strictly monitored by armed soldiers. One mention of the word treasure and the television would be shut down until further notice.

The employees were frightened, it felt as if they had suddenly been embroiled in a highly tense situation like a terror alert. Gu Xixi and a few other managers who were in the loop had to go around calming the employees down and asking them not to share the situation with anyone for the time being.

Underwater meanwhile, Chi Lian gave Muyang a questioning look, needing an explanation for the situation. He knew the empire, it’s laws and the royal family far better than her.

"What is the meaning of this?" She asked. T4 had informed her about the current situation in the phoenix building.

"I think this means we will not be keeping the treasures." He answered calmly. It also means that these little red dots on the environment monitor are probably approaching coastguards and military ships will not be too far behind."

"Why?" She asked with wide eyes and a sinking feeling in her heart. "I found it first Muyang, it’s mine."

He shook his head and held her shoulders, while looking into her eyes he said, "The canons and weapons mean that the pirates probably robbed a royal ship which makes it empire business, royal business specifically. Also, treasure like this is going to attract all sorts of attention, good and bad. Different empires will come claiming some kind of ancestral treasure from the loot like the gold coins, look at them." She had sent a drone down to capture clearer images of the treasure which were being sent to a smaller screen that Muyang was monitoring.

"Look at the markings, this is Islamic gold, I would have to study further to know which empire it came from but I suspect the kingdom of Turkey or Persia. All of them will be interested in the treasure and it’s going to be an international incident. Most importantly, this is going to put a target on your back, mine, our children and our families. As long as people know that we own such treasure they will try hard to get their hands on it whether it’s through peaceful or forceful means unless we get rid of it publicly. What I think you should do is donate the treasure and receive a significant reward. You know our motto, they should owe you more than you owe them. All that you do is not just for yourself, it’s also for your Chi family. You can gather some strength for them by leveraging this treasure. But these are my ideas wife, you found the treasure, you decide and I will stand with whatever choice you make."

She looked at the images being sent back by the drone with sad unwilling eyes as she thought through all that Muyang had shared with her. Chi Lian found it deeply unfair that she would have to give up what rightfully was hers. But when she thought about the safety of the children and her family, she bit her lip and tapped her foot for a few seconds. The space in the submersible was not enough for her to pace up and down but if it was, she would be doing that right now.

"There are many treasures under the seas and oceans all around the world host, this one ship wreck does not even scratch the surface. With the submarine and my super scanning skills, you can disappear in the morning whenever you want and return with treasure in the evening. Right now, you should do peep star work, the emperor has banned news of the treasure in the news but he does not control you. Say something and I will do the posting."

T4’s words in addition to Muyang’s were very helpful in getting her to take one last look at the pictures being sent back by the drone and she recalled it.

"We will do as you suggest." she told Muyang. "But, I want a very big reward, I deserve it."

"Yes you do." he concurred.

"Without me, they would never know it’s location." she added.

"No they wouldn’t." he concurred again.

"I want a title of a princess or something." she declared.

Muyang chuckled, expecting nothing than outrageous in form of a demand from her. "Or my father should be given a special title of some kind, I don’t know yet."

"I will make all your demands known wife." he nodded.

"And I get to keep some of those coins, ten of them." she said.

"I will get you no less than twenty wife." he said.

As she mentioned these, the peep star updated the nation.

The mighty little peep star: [Because of that very sudden ban on Chi Lian and Jun Muyang’s live broadcast, it has been left up to this peep star to update you all on where things stand.

1. The phoenix building has been surrounded by soldiers.

2. The coastguard has landed on Saoning islands.

3. Midas Chi will not be able to keep this treasure.

4. Military helicopters are currently landing on the island

5. Poor, poor Midas Chi!!! I would hate to be her right now.

Oh well, she gets to go home with the man of your dreams so she will be consoled in very appealing arms tonight.]

Love from Cu: [Thank you for the update peep star, now we know what is going at least.]

Barefoot cultivator: [I know that many people will accuse me of jealousy but I am actually glad the emperor is taking serious steps to claim the treasure for the empire. Chi Lian can be rewarded for finding it but let’s be honest, it does not belong to her.]

Meet my fist: [Poor poor Midas Chi, she was so excited.]

My chop sticks died and went to heaven: [ For all we know there is a terror threat inside the Phoenix building. Shouldn’t we wait for a legal announcement from the police before concluding anything.]

King of the jungle Wen: [I will sleep better tonight knowing that that the rich are not richer.]

Fire baby: [Is it just me or do the Phoenix news anchors look pale tonight?]

Princess kitty: [You keep what you find underwater, that is the law of the empire. Some of you are simply jealous of Midas Chi’s luck.]

Shu Li: [The peep star has said it; she gets to be consoled by young master Jun so either way, she wins in my eyes.]
