Li Du also felt that he would be very prestigious.
Felister invited him to a small restaurant with a very elegant environment, surrounded by flowers and greenery, and beautiful female prison guards as waitresses.
During the meal, he wanted to send Li Du out, saying that Li Du was wrongly imprisoned, that there was no record of him, and that it was Director Jones who was making trouble.
Li Du refused to leave. I don't care if you are making trouble or not, he must get an explanation.
If Bartlett Jones had been more cautious and charged them with carrying a gun in public, then Li Du and the others would probably still be in jail, and then they would be in jail legally.
As a result, Bartlett, at the instigation of Caddy Lent, sent him to prison ahead of schedule. Of course, their purpose was to scare him into spitting out the money and car he had eaten.
But they underestimated Li Du's power and had to pay the price.
Felister had no choice but to ask him to say something good about himself in front of the media and explain to them that he, the warden, was also wronged.
The two people who were now being criticized by the media were Jones and Felister, who believed that the police department and the prison were in cahoots.
This time, Felister was really unlucky. It had nothing to do with him. It was Jones who contacted a deputy warden and sent Li Du and the others in.
As mentioned earlier, they just wanted to scare Li Du and make him pay for the money and car first.
Although it had nothing to do with Felister, he could not escape the charge of inadequate supervision, and he would certainly be affected.
Now Felister did not care. He wanted to get out of the case first, or he would not be able to keep his job as warden.
The matter was quickly heating up.
Within a day, more than half of the American media were reporting on the matter.
Li Du and the others were undoubtedly the victims. When the Chinese embassy in the United States learned of the matter, it quickly intervened and directly protested to the White House.
This was beyond Li Du's expectation. He did not expect the embassy to be so supportive.
In fact, this was normal. China and the United States were now the world's biggest competitors. The United States had been talking about human rights, civil rights, and freedom in China. Now that a similar problem had occurred in their own country, how could the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs let go of this opportunity?
According to Li Du's expectations, he should be able to be fished out of prison by Porter and others within a day.
However, the development of the matter was beyond his control. Someone sneaked into the prison and secretly sent a letter to Li Du, telling him not to leave the prison and to blow up the matter.
The messenger belonged to the embassy. The embassy promised him that they wouldn't let him suffer in prison, but they told him not to rush out.
Sophie flew to Miami that night, but it was past visiting hours and she could not visit him. She waited until early the next morning to see him.
Seeing Li Du in his prison uniform, Sophie could not help but burst into laughter. Then, she burst into tears, banging on the window and shouting.
Li Du tapped on the phone, indicating that she could not hear clearly if she did not use the phone.
Accompanying Sophie was Potter. This was the second time the two had met. The last time they had met was when they went to buy Van Gogh's famous painting.
Porter promised him, "Li, don't worry. I know a lot of friends in Miami. We will help you get justice."
Next, the prison organized a press conference to make an announcement about this matter.
Li Du and the other three were naturally the protagonists of the press conference. He once again released a heavyweight message: a video in which Caddy Lent was the protagonist.
"I've already contacted them. I've already found a good person. My uncle is the chief of the police station. Just wait to die in prison!"
Do you know that the law protects the rich and powerful? Don't you know that the law protects the rich and powerful? Don't you want to go to court? You will go straight to prison! I swear, my uncle will send you to prison tonight! "
A series of images of him and Caddy Lent appeared in the eyes of the reporters. The reporters screamed excitedly: this was big news.
Seeing this, Felister gasped. He felt sad for Jones. Jones had reached the end of his career as a police chief. He was finished!
The reporters asked questions. Li Du made a promise. He angrily attacked the American judicial system and at the same time put in a good word for Felister, explaining that it had nothing to do with him.
That was all he could do. As for how the media would report it in the future? Li Du did not care about that.
Felister was grateful to him. With these explanations, he could at least be marginalized in the case. At most, he would be charged with lax supervision and incompetence.
In the evening, Li Du left his cell. Raymond thought he was going to be alone, but someone staggered and was pushed in.
Rayman looked at him with a dull look on his face. "Warden Claremont? How did you get in? "
Claymont was the deputy warden, and he was kicked directly into the cell by Felister.
The guy wanted to do a favor, but ended up sending himself to prison and almost sending Felister to prison.
He sat on the bed dejectedly, holding his head in his hands, in a daze.
Raymond's eyes turned. He was thinking about how to use the news to get some cigarettes and soup tomorrow. He felt that he had been lucky recently.
The case exposed the darkness of American justice, administration, and other aspects, quickly attracted a lot of attention and became the most high-profile case in the United States.
The mayor of Miami, the governor of Florida, and important members of the legislature came to the prison to apologize to Li Du and promised to deal with the matter strictly.
In this way, there was no need for Li Du to stay in prison. He had to quit while he was ahead. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to clean up the mess if it became too unpleasant.
Of course, Hans came forward to negotiate with the governor and the mayors, asking the government and the judiciary to compensate them.
Because they had only been in prison for a short time, the government would not give them financial compensation, but gave the four of them the title of honorary citizen, with which they could come to Florida to do business and pay less taxes.
In addition, there was a car to compensate Li Du. His Ferrari T was driven away by Caddy Lent at the time. That guy was so lawless that he thought his uncle would be able to handle the matter.
Now Li Du didn't want the car. He said it was damaged and asked for a new one.
The Florida government and the judiciary had no choice but to agree to his terms.
A car was only a few hundred thousand dollars, and they could sue Caddy Lent for financial losses. If the matter continued to drag on, the government would be in more trouble.
The United States had two parties in power. Florida was the territory of the Republicans, and the Democrats never gave up an opportunity to attack them. They were more active than the embassy.
Once the conditions were met, Li Du was willing to leave prison, and the matter was over.
