Yang Cheng's words confused Luo Cuishan, and the police looked at Luo Cuishan hesitantly. Everyone at the scene was waiting for the Prime Minister's wife to give her orders.
However, Luo Cuishan had to consider a lot more than ordinary people. After all, she was not only the eldest daughter of the Luo family and the head of the Ning family, but she was also the Prime Minister's wife. There were many times when she had to consider the bigger picture.
Just as Luo Cuishan was thinking about how to deal with the situation at hand, the sound of high-heeled footsteps came from the entrance of the police station.
Not long after, a tall, chestnut-haired Caucasian lady walked into the police office.
The lady was wearing a black uniform and white stockings. Her curly hair was tied up, and she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She looked like a typical Caucasian, a middle-aged Western beauty.
The police were confused, and Luo Cuishan and the others were also confused. They didn't know why a foreign lady had suddenly walked in.
After the lady scanned the situation in the office, her gaze immediately locked onto Yang Cheng.
Seeing Yang Cheng, the lady's eyes clearly showed excitement that couldn't be concealed. However, her good mentality and upbringing allowed her to gracefully walk in front of Yang Cheng. She bowed slightly and greeted him in standard English with a London accent, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Excellency. I was personally appointed by Her Majesty Queen Catherine to be Miss Lin's personal lawyer. My name is Laura Mattegro from London's Linklaters Law Firm. I'm honored to be able to serve you and Miss Lin in my lifetime. "
The series of respectful English introductions made most of the people present feel dizzy.
The only ones who could understand were Luo Cuishan and the others. However, because she understood Laura's introduction, Luo Cuishan's expression immediately turned ugly …
Queen Catherine? Linklaters Law Firm?
As the wife of Prime Minister Hua Xia, Luo Cuishan had more opportunities to interact with the leaders of the world's powerful countries than the other matriarchs of big families.
She was very clear about Queen Catherine's role in Great Britain, and Linklaters Law Firm was one of the top five law firms in the world.
Most of the lawyers in such firms deal with international financial cases and rarely deal with private legal matters.
But why would a lawyer of this level come to Beijing so cautiously to be Lin Hui's private legal counsel?! And with a face full of glory!?
But that was not the only thing that shocked Luo Cuishan even more …
Yang Cheng wasn't interested in Laura's series of introductions. Instead, he frowned in dissatisfaction. "Everyone's here?"
Laura nodded. "Yes, Your Excellency. I'm sorry. Because of the fog in London, we were delayed by a day."
"Do you know that if you were ten minutes late, all of you would have been fed to the sharks …" Yang Cheng said lightly.
Laura's face turned pale. She lowered her proud head and didn't dare to make a sound.
"I don't want you to make such stupid mistakes in the future when you work for my sister. If I wasn't in Beijing today, things wouldn't have been so simple. You have to realize the seriousness of the situation." Yang Cheng said lightly.
Laura nodded vigorously. "Please rest assured, Your Excellency. We will do our best! This time, everyone in our team came with the highest standards! "
Yang Cheng sighed. "Don't say useless things. You should have figured out the details on the way here. Solve it quickly."
Laura breathed a sigh of relief as if she had narrowly escaped death. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, straightened her chest, and revealed a confident smile. She turned to the square-faced police officer and asked, "Excuse me, is this officer in charge here?"
This time, Laura spoke in Chinese. Although the pronunciation was a bit strange, he could still hear it clearly.
The square-faced police officer nodded and stammered. "Yes … yes."
Laura smiled. "My name is Laura. I'm a lawyer from London's Linklaters International Law Firm. I work for Miss Hui Lin. I'm now officially requesting that she be released on bail. "
As Laura spoke, she took out an internationally certified lawyer's license and other documents from her handbag and placed them on the table.
The square-faced police officer couldn't understand what she was looking at, but it didn't seem like it was fake. He looked at Luo Cuishan and waited for Luo Cuishan's instructions.
Luo Cuishan shook her head slightly. Even if she was a world-class lawyer, she had no intention of letting Yang Cheng off easy. After all, there was no reason for Luo Cuishan not to settle old and new grudges.
The square-faced officer understood and cleared his throat. "Erm … Miss Lawyer, we've just gone through an interrogation. Miss Liu Zishan here is her witness. She testified that Miss Hui Lin had barged into the meeting room and assaulted Director Luo Sheng. The wounds on Director Luo Sheng can also be proven to be caused by Miss Hui Lin. More importantly, Miss Hui Lin has admitted that she did hit him. Therefore, we can't allow you to release Miss Hui Lin on bail. "
Laura's eyes lit up. She turned to Liu Zishan and said, "You must be the model, Miss Liu Zishan. May I ask you a question? "
Liu Zishan was scared out of her wits. However, she knew that she couldn't tell anyone the truth. Otherwise, her career as a star would be ruined. She nodded nervously. "Sure …"
"May I know what Miss Liu Zishan was doing when Miss Hui Lin barged into the meeting room?" Laura asked.
Liu Zishan immediately answered, "I was discussing the details of the MV with the director. Miss Hui Lin barged in and beat up the director for no reason."
"That's not it! She … She was doing that … that thing with Director Luo … "Hui Lin felt wronged." I heard her shouting 'Director don't do it'. That's why I went in to save her. Miss Liu, why didn't you tell the truth?! "
"Miss Hui Lin, please have some self-respect. Don't slander me." Liu Zishan turned her head and ignored Hui Lin.
Hui Lin's face was pale. She didn't understand why Liu Zishan would treat her like this.
Yang Cheng patted Hui Lin's shoulder. "Don't cry here. I didn't bring any tissues."
Hui Lin pouted and nodded, feeling wronged.
Laura shrugged. She then turned to Luo Sheng, who was looking furious. "This must be Director Luo. Director Luo, is what Miss Liu Zishan said true?"
"Of course! I was discussing the details of the costumes with Miss Liu Zishan when this crazy woman barged in and beat me up! I'm going to sue her! "Luo Sheng said righteously.
Laura looked helpless. "It's a pity that neither of you were able to tell the truth."
"Lawyer Laura, if you have anything to say, you can say it now," Luo Cuishan said in English.
"Okay." Laura spread her hands and took out a tablet computer from her bag. She said to everyone, "It's a pity. On the way here, I've asked the technicians to retrieve the surveillance video of the meeting room from the building where the incident happened. In this video, the actual situation at that time is recorded. In it, the scene of Director Luo and Miss Liu Zishan warming up is very clear … "
The police were stunned. Luo Cuishan's face darkened.
Liu Zishan's face turned pale. Luo Sheng was in disbelief.
"Next, I'll reveal the actual situation to everyone." Laura calmly turned on the computer. She entered the password and was about to play the video.
"That's impossible!" Luo Sheng suddenly flew into a rage. "I've checked beforehand. There were no surveillance cameras in the meeting room! You can't have a recording! You're … "
At this point, Luo Sheng suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap!
Liu Zishan staggered two steps back and almost fell. She was just an ordinary female model, how could she have thought so much? Originally, she thought there was a video, which was why she was shocked. Who would have thought that she had been set up!
Laura smiled brightly. "Director Luo, why do we need to check if there are cameras when we're discussing the content of the MV?"
"That's … That's because … Because …" Luo Sheng's mind went blank. He didn't know what to say.
Luo Cuishan's face darkened. She pushed her brother aside and said calmly, "Lawyer Laura, although your plan is excellent, you don't have a recording. But you don't have a recording, so you don't have any evidence. Since that's the case, we still have a witness. We have a reason not to let Lin Hui go. "
Laura blinked. "You must be Premier Ning's wife. I've seen you in the newspaper before, beautiful lady. You're right. However, my employer, Miss Lin Hui, has another identity. It's enough for her to leave this place. "
With that, Laura took out a red booklet from her bag, ignoring the doubts of the people around her.
"I'm not sure if everyone recognizes this," Laura explained with a smile. "I'd like to announce that Miss Lin Hui has just obtained British citizenship. This is her passport. Although Hua Xia doesn't allow dual citizenship, Britain does. Therefore, from the British point of view, Miss Hui Lin is one of our people.
At the same time, Britain's embassy has been notified and has obtained diplomatic immunity for Miss Lin Hui. In other words, if we want to convict, interrogate, or detain Miss Lin Hui, we'll have to go through diplomatic channels. I don't think a mere police station would be able to negotiate on behalf of countries … "
Listening to Laura's unhurried words, the square-faced police officer had already slumped back into his chair …
Negotiations between countries?!
How could they, mere police officers, handle that?!
Luo Cuishan knew that there were some loopholes in Laura's words, but they were negligible! The worst part was that Laura had escalated the matter into a diplomatic issue!
Although she knew that Yang Cheng had a certain level of influence abroad, she didn't expect him to be able to use the entire United Kingdom as his shield so easily!
Of course, Luo Cuishan couldn't help but sigh. Women from the world's top law firm were indeed difficult to deal with.
Just like that, Lin Hui could no longer be touched. Moreover, she was under a lot of pressure. After all, she was the Premier's wife. If anything went wrong with diplomacy, she would have to bear the blame …
