After listening to their conversation, Charlie sighed inwardly. These people didn’t seem to be serious environmentalists; they each had their own selfish motives.
At this point, the man in the Tesla in the crowd had already lost to Ji Xiaomeng and could only drag his suitcase, intending to walk to the airport.
Seeing his disheveled figure, Ji Xiaomeng shouted loudly behind him, “Mr. Tesla driver, please remember that environmental protection is not just about talking about it or buying an electric car.”
“You must respect nature from the bottom of your heart, and moreover, have compassion for the animals who have lost their homes or even their lives due to global warming!”
The crowd was impressed by Ji Xiaomeng’s fluency and attacking skills and cheered loudly. Ji Xiaomeng looked contented among the crowd. It wasn’t until she joined this team that she discovered her true talent.
Her specialty isn’t taking photos or managing social media, but labeling others and using her sly tongue to disparage them. She can always find the most effective way to attack, leaving her opponents helpless to defend themselves.
He’d wanted to do this before, but he didn’t dare because he lacked money, power, or influence. If he rashly attacked others, he would be vulnerable to attack or even retaliation.
However, after joining an environmental organization, he not only gained many supportive colleagues, but more importantly, he also found a moral high ground. With this dual drive, he wouldn’t be afraid to confront Tesla owners in Northern Europe, or even Trump in the United States.
Just as Ji Xiaomeng was enjoying the cheers and joy of the victory, an elderly woman of Asian appearance approached Ji Xiaomeng and asked cautiously, “Young lady, you…you are Chinese, right?”
Ji Xiaomeng nodded and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the woman identified herself as Chinese. She pleaded, “Look, Miss. My flight leaves in an hour. My husband is seriously ill in China and is hospitalized. I must return to see him immediately. If I miss this flight, the earliest I can see him is tomorrow. So, please, let my taxi take me to the airport!”
“No way!” Ji Xiaomeng firmly refused. “Environmental protection is our mission. We treat everyone equally, no matter who you are or what your circumstances. If you’re in a hurry to catch a flight, hurry up and run to the airport. We can’t give you special treatment!”
The old woman choked and said, “I’m eighty years old. You’re asking me to run to the airport? Let alone an hour, I probably won’t be able to run there in two. Besides, boarding starts half an hour before takeoff. There’s no other way to get there on time than by car…”
Ji Xiaomeng shrugged, “Then it’s none of my business. We’re working for the good of all humanity and animals in the world, for the good of the earth and the world. Your personal problems are just a drop in the ocean compared to such an important issue. You should be working on solving them.”
Then, Ji Xiaomeng added, “By the way, do you know why we have to block this road when there are so many roads in Ausu City? Honestly, it’s because airplanes are also a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions! In order to save time, you fly around the world by plane, and every time you fly, you release a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere!”
The old woman was so angry she nearly had a heart attack. Clutching her chest, she asked, “You… you accuse me of flying, but what about you? How did you get to Europe?! Whether you came by plane or ship, you’re also a contributor to carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere!”
Ji Xiaomeng smiled and said without changing her expression, “I’m sorry, Grandma, I immigrated to Europe with my parents when I was little.”
After saying that, he sighed in embarrassment and said, “Of course, you’re right. Even though I flew on a plane when I was little, it’s still undeniable that I’m an accomplice to global warming. That’s why I now realize my mistake and volunteer to contribute to the fight against global warming, thereby atone for my past mistakes!”
The old woman was once again speechless at his sharp answer and could only stand there helplessly while wiping away her tears.
Charlie had originally planned to just walk by and not bother with these radicals, but after hearing others talk about Ji Xiaomeng and seeing her show no mercy towards an old woman and even lie to her, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He couldn’t contain his amazement. Had European society become so surreal? How could such demons and monsters run rampant in this land, hindering hundreds, if not thousands, of people, and yet no one could do anything about it?
