The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO

Chapter 340: Chapter 338: Verbal and Written Criticism

"Oh? Are you so certain that the Celestial Sea police will release you in half an hour?" Ye Huan asked "surprised."

"Haha, in less than half an hour, I’ll be walking out of here!"

"You can’t even begin to imagine my identity!"

"Yeah, someone like you wouldn’t dare to imagine that I could have deep friendships with high-ranking members of royal families from other countries! You could never come into contact with people of that caliber in your lifetime!"

Shen Xu crossed his legs, extremely arrogant.

Ye Huan gave a light chuckle, flipped a toothpick between his fingers, gave Shen Xu a meaningful look, and then left.

Shen Xu, on the other hand, dismissed it with indifference, snickered again, leisurely lay back on the plank bed, looking extremely pleased.

Clearly, he had envisioned the Celestial Sea police politely escorting him out, and Ye Huan being so scared he would hurriedly address him as "boss."

This ass plays the part too well!

City Bureau, surveillance room. noveldrama

Ye Huan walked in to find Qin Guangming and a team of special ops experts, including Wuling Fei, glaring at the big screen as if they couldn’t wait to rush into the interrogation room and chop Shen Xu into pieces.

At the same time, their faces looked extremely grim.

They knew Shen Xu’s identity.

The CEO of a transnational conglomerate valued at billions!

In the impoverished Southeast Asia region, there are fewer than three such billion-dollar conglomerates like the Leke Group. Each one is a major taxpayer and is treasured by every country.

If Shen Xu can really contact the top leaders of the Fifteen Royals, given his stature, the Fifteen Royals will definitely unite to pressure Celestial Sea, and then... the only result is to set him free!

"This matter... is difficult!"

Everyone had this thought bubble up in their minds.

If the Fifteen Royals back him up firmly, it’s truly hard to convict Shen Xu.

The main thing is, Shen Xu didn’t actually cause any fatalities. The most China can do to punish him is expel him from the country and permanently ban him from re-entering.

"Sigh."

Qin Guangming let out a deep sigh and instructed a police officer beside him, "We have no choice, prepare the release paperwork for him first. Once word arrives, release him immediately..."

"Why release him? What should be prepared are the materials for his conviction. Pulling a gun and attempting to shoot the heir of Li Corporation on Chinese soil is at least a life sentence, isn’t it?" Ye Huan interrupted Qin Guangming abruptly.

Qin Guangming and several police officers sighed helplessly, unable to vent their frustration.

"Mr. Ye, you’re oversimplifying things. Shen Xu holds a very high status in Southeast Asia, with significant backing. If he really contacts the Fifteen Royals, they will undoubtedly pressure us, and that pressure is immense. We might not be able to withstand it," Qin Guangming explained with a resigned expression.

"Director Qin, you don’t need to worry about that. I believe the Fifteen Royals are people who ’discern right from wrong, understand reason.’ If Shen Xu commits a crime in our country, it’s only right for us to convict him. The Fifteen Royals will understand it."

"So, you can arrange for someone to prepare the materials to convict him."

"With ironclad evidence from restaurant surveillance footage and his recent confession, what we need to do is prosecute him in a few days and make sure he spends the rest of his life in prison."

Ye Huan said with a serious look, raising his eyebrows.

Qin Guangming returned him two awkward chuckles, then pulled a police officer aside, quietly instructing him to prepare the release paperwork for Shen Xu.

After that, he again shook his head helplessly.

Ye Huan’s words are too idealistic.

Between nations, where is there room for understanding, discerning right from wrong?

The only things are interests and conflicts!

As long as it’s in their favor, they can call black white!

"Idealism!" Wuling Fei glanced at Ye Huan, uttering the word dismissively.

Clearly, she and Qin Guangming shared the same view, believing Ye Huan had not yet realized the world’s harsh realities.

Ye Huan didn’t mind.

Indeed, between nations, there’s no room for reasoning.

But...

As long as your fist is big enough, they will beg to reason with you!

No...

They’ll kneel and beg to reason with you!

...

Suddenly and abruptly, the Fifteen Royals from Southeast Asia all sent personnel to pressure the Chinese office!

Without exception, they first criticized China’s arrogance for arbitrarily arresting elite foreign entrepreneurs and then righteously demanded Shen Xu’s release, leaving no room for negotiation, as if issuing an order.

After understanding the cause of the incident, the Chinese side argued their case, stating Shen Xu was arrested because he broke Chinese law.

But the Fifteen Royals wouldn’t listen, holding an extremely arrogant attitude as if they were saying if you don’t release him, we won’t let this go.

With no other choice, the Chinese office staff had to relay the stance of the Fifteen Royals back to domestic superiors.

...

Celestial Sea City, police headquarters.

"Alright, I understand." Qin Guangming nodded, but his expression was grim.

"Director Qin, what did the higher-ups say?" Wuling Fei asked.

Qin Guangming sighed and then said, "The higher-ups said the situation is very unfavorable to us, and the Fifteen Royals are pressing down together. To avoid further complications, plus Shen Xu didn’t end up causing deaths, the punishment for Shen Xu will be... to expedite his expulsion, permanently banning him from China."

The meaning of this sentence was clear: release Shen Xu.

Wuling Fei was not surprised by this outcome, yet she still gnashed her teeth, clenching her fists.

"No need, just wait a bit longer." Beside her, Ye Huan spoke up, "Another ten minutes, and then there will be no need to release him."

"..."

No one paid attention to Ye Huan.

Qin Guangming wore a somewhat embarrassed expression, not meeting Ye Huan’s eyes.

Instead, he joined Wuling Fei in heading back to Shen Xu’s interrogation room.

Indeed, they just thought Ye Huan was being ridiculous!

What a joke.

Did he think the Fifteen Royals’ faces would suddenly become thinner in these ten minutes, realizing they were being unreasonable, feeling deep shame, and hence asking China to judge Shen Xu by its laws?

Utterly unrealistic!

Ye Huan knew they didn’t believe him, but he didn’t say much more, yawning lazily and then following them back.

The Fifteen Royals were still so arrogant now, simply because they hadn’t yet received the news about that post.

Having them beg to reason with China was just a matter of time.

At most a quarter of an hour, at least five minutes.

"Hey, the half-hour isn’t even up, and you guys are already letting Grandpa out? I told you my connections were solid, why wouldn’t you believe it?"

As the three of them walked into the interrogation room, they heard Shen Xu’s sassy taunt.

Qin Guangming and Wuling Fei’s faces turned blue.

"Let you out? That’s acceptable in those barbaric lands in the West and Southeast Asia, but in China, break the law, and you think you can still be above it?" Ye Huan pulled out a chair and sat down, grinning.

"So you’re saying you’re here not to release me?" Shen Xu’s face was not only unflustered, but full of disdain instead.

Ye Huan looked "puzzled" as he asked, "May I ask, why are you so sure that the police will release you?"

"Because my connections are solid!"

Shen Xu gave his answer, full of arrogance.

Connections are solid.

Indeed, they are solid.

Not just anyone, even a wealthy local with some status, would have no chance of befriending a great family like the Fifteen Royals.

But Shen Xu?

A single person acquainted with all Fifteen Royals!

Saying his connections are harder than a diamond is not even an exaggeration!

"Don’t bother pulling old tricks on me."

"Let me tell you, the senior members of the Fifteen Royals have all spent time with girls on my turf, and my relationship with them is very strong!"

"They’re united in demanding my release. Can your tiny Celestial Sea withstand the pressure, huh?" Shen Xu looked scornfully.

Ye Huan’s expression turned serious, and he let out a cold snort.

"Mate, you’ve committed a crime on Chinese soil, solid evidence backs it. This is irrefutable."

"Do you really think the Fifteen Royals are the unreasonable kind, knowing you were caught in China for a crime, yet they pressure China to release you unreasonably? Let me tell you..."

"The Fifteen Royals are ’people who discern right from wrong, and are reasonable.’ Not only will they not pressure China to release you, but they will also beg China to deal with the law and demand you be executed!"
