In order to gain more status and influence, they constantly organised protests across Europe.
When she had fled America, she had flown straight to Sweden, so she now threw out Sweden in the hope of bluffing her way through.
Park scoffed at her lie and sneered, “You say you immigrated to Sweden, so you must have a Swedish passport by now. Here’s a question: when we entered Northern Europe today, why were you carrying a Chinese passport? Everyone has their passport on them. Why don’t you take it out and show everyone?”
Ji Xiaomeng was instantly lost for words. She could only look desperately at the team leader, pleading with her eyes for help.
The team leader had not expected internal strife to erupt like this. To steady the situation and protect the organisation’s image, he immediately warned Park, “Park, I’m telling you, do not bring personal matters into our environmental cause. If you keep slandering the team out of selfish motives, I will kick you out as the black sheep!”
Park had already lost all normal judgement. Seeing the leader shielding Ji Xiaomeng only fuelled his rage further. He sprinted forward, leapt onto the roof of the Mercedes at the front of the queue, and shouted to the trapped crowd, “Let me tell you the truth. This organisation does not hold protests for the environment! Global warming? Total bollocks! It’s all business! Loads of European wind and solar companies regularly donate money and fund our activities so we’ll put pressure on coal power stations and on European governments to shut them down bit by bit. You all know what happened in Germany, right? After the coal plants closed, household electricity prices shot up fifty percent, and the wind and solar companies made an absolute fortune!”
“And us coming to Northern Europe to block roads? It’s not about the environment either. We’re using the environmental cause to build influence and attract followers online. We ask fans to donate money for activities and urge all Europeans to send us their old clothes for recycling to prevent pollution!”
“If you search online you’ll find videos of us protesting in other countries and cities. Every time we give out the address of an ‘environmental’ website, claiming we’ve invested millions of euros in a green recycling production line. But it’s a shell company!”
“If you send clothes to that address, they never get recycled. They’re bundled up and exported straight to Africa. The African dealers even pay the shipping costs. We don’t spend a single cent. We just provide a bit of labour, turn your donated clothes into cash, and all that money goes into our pockets, especially the leaders’ pockets!”
“And do you know why we deliberately damage famous paintings in museums across Europe? I’ll tell you: private collectors pay us under the table. When we destroy one painting by a master and it hits the news, that artist’s remaining works skyrocket in value. Destroy one painting and there’s one fewer in existence, so the price of the rest shoots up even higher. The collectors just sit at home and watch their collections explode in value!”
He pointed at the team leader and said coldly, “This man here pockets most of the money from every action! Last month he bought a Dodge Challenger with a 6.2-litre engine, one of the biggest muscle cars you can buy. A man who never stops talking about the environment bought the highest-displacement car on the market. Think how ironic that is!”
Then he pointed at Ji Xiaomeng and roared, “And this lying woman, the moment she gets into that Dodge Challenger she’s all smiles, grinning like an idiot, begging him again and again to take her drifting. I’ve never once heard her call that car un-environmental! Yet today she won’t let a Tesla driver off the hook and lectures everyone from the moral high ground. She’s absolute trash, the cheapest of the cheap!”
