Chapter 1039 - Convicted of the Same Crime
Chapter 1039: Convicted of the Same Crime
If they were to continue to bear with this, other people would really treat their country as a pushover. When that time came, those countries who had the United States as their backing would all come to bully them…
Fu Huai’an knew that the two countries’ trade war had become intense over the matter with the 5G.
The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs tried to calm Fu Huai’an down, feeling enraged as well. However, from the political perspective, there were many things that they couldn’t share with a businessman like Fu Huai’an.
Everyone had their difficulties. The country was now in its developmental phase… and their fists weren’t that tough yet. Therefore, there were many times where the country’s leaders tried to abide by the principles of tolerating things wherever they could. What was more important was for them to focus on developing their economics and infrastructure.
Moreover, there was the saying that everything would be fine if everyone were to take one step back. People who achieved great things had to bear with things that normal people couldn’t.
However, Fu Huai’an was unable to wait for such a slow process before gaining returns. His brother was detained by the United States, and there was no news of him at all. Although Fu Huai’an could hold it in, it didn’t mean that he wasn’t angry.
Little Lu sat in the front passenger seat and looked at his boss’s grim countenance through the rearview mirror, feeling spooked…
Ever since Little Lu started to work for Fu Huai’an, he had only seen Fu Huai’an wearing an expression like this on two occasions. The first was when Lin Nuan had been abducted in Venice, and the second time was now.
Fu Huai’an’s gaze looked into the distance, and his fingers with distinct joints loosened his tie. He then said, “The president of a corporation that has rendered its service to the country has been arrested for no reason. If the government doesn’t take swift action, aren’t they afraid that the citizens will be disappointed in them?”
The person on the other end of the call told Fu Huai’an that a United States aircraft carrier was stopped near the high sea and China’s maritime border. The people up there long had the intention to conduct deterrent military exercises. Now that the turbine had been successfully developed, as long as the test flight was successful and the new bomber was mass-produced, they would conduct a deterrent military exercise.
Not getting the reply that he wanted, Fu Huai’an hung up the call. The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs then called the Minister of Foreign Affairs…
The Kaide Corporation and Fu Huai’an were both very popular at the moment. Ran Chaoqian, who represented Fu Huai’an’s Kaide Corporation and led a team to develop the turbine, didn’t hide anything at all. They had brought out a tremendous amount of research materials that had been sorted, sealed up, and sent to the country’s research institution. The people in power viewed Fu Huai’an and the Kaide Corporation in extremely high regard.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs was in the midst of a meeting. After he came out of the meeting, his secretary came running toward him… saying that the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs had called him earlier regarding the phone call he had with Fu Huai’an. The Minister of Foreign Affairs handed all of the documents he was holding to his secretary and called Fu Huai’an. At that moment, Fu Huai’an had just got onto the plane.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs returned to his office, closed the door, and was very straightforward with his words. He wasn’t like the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, speaking in a politically correct manner. “We’ll receive news from the United States in another 20 minutes. The son of the ambassador of the United States’ embassy has also been arrested by our country’s police. If they don’t give a reason for detaining Lu Jinnan, then we won’t give them a reason either. If they convict Lu Jinnan of a crime, then the police will also convict the son of the United States’ ambassador of the same crime! I’m about to contact the United States to let them consider the situation. Don’t worry… we from the foreign affairs office won’t let a corporation like the Kaide Corporation suffer.”
The son of the United States’ ambassador had already come of age and was under the jurisdiction of China’s law. Therefore, the process of arresting him went very smoothly.
The reason the government chose to take such an action this time around was more or less due to them feeling more confident with the turbine being successfully developed.
This was what Fu Huai’an wanted to see. He politely asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs to thank his office for their hard work.
Fu Huai’an had also received another bit of news that the test flight for the new Heavenly Eye bomber had displayed exemplary results. Although the official statement was that the test flight would be conducted on the 9th, the bomber was already in mass production.
Before the media had received the news, the United States was already aware that the ambassador’s son had been caught…
The United States didn’t expect that China’s attitude would be so headstrong this time around. Due to their headstrong attitude… the United States thought of Ran Chaoqian. They wondered if Ran Chaoqian had brought over all the documents related to the turbines and if that was why China would dare to face the United States head-on!
The situation reached a stalemate. The United States was no fool, so how could they not understand why China had detained their ambassador’s son, not giving any explanation to the public. It didn’t require much thinking to know that China was waiting for them to give an explanation for having detained Lu Jinnan. Moreover, the ambassador’s son would also be convicted of the same crime they charged Lu Jinnan with.
The moment this news came out, a large number of netizens cheered agitatedly, saying that they liked how headstrong their country was!
Since you captured our businessman, I’ll capture the son of your ambassador!
Even China’s citizens could tell why their government had arrested the ambassador’s son without giving any explanation. They were waiting to see what crime the United States used to convict the Kaide Corporation’s president. They might then charge the ambassador’s son with the same crime.
…
Lin Nuan kept watching television at the dining room table until the press conference was over. Only then did she see Liang Mulan put the crab meat that had been shelled onto her plate. She asked Lin Nuan about the Kaide Corporation’s president being arrested in the United States. Lin Nuan smiled and said that everything would be fine and that the government would help out in this matter. Liang Mulan felt that this made sense, so she smiled and continued chatting with Cen Mo.
Crabs didn’t really taste good in this season, but Lin Nuan liked to eat crab, so Liang Mulan went to great efforts to pick them out.
Both Lin Ran and Lin Chen didn’t like to eat crabs, so Liang Mulan didn’t shell any crabs for them. Cen Mo and Lin Nuan’s plates were full of the crab meat Liang Mulan had shelled, as well as the small amount of crab mustard.
“I heard from Xiao Nuan that Xiao Yao is pregnant. Crabs are too cold by nature, and women who are pregnant shouldn’t eat them. I got the kitchen to prepare some bird’s nest stewed with hashima. It’s good for pregnant women to have more of that!” Liang Mulan got the servants to bring one serving of it.
Liang Mulan put it before Song Yao personally, and the latter appeared to be shocked from the attention, expressing her thanks.
Lin Ran then looked at Lin Nuan, indicating for her to take this opportunity to tell Liang Mulan that she was also pregnant. Even Song Yao turned to look at Lin Nuan, suggesting that it was time for her to bring it up.
Lin Nuan smiled and said, “Mom, I feel that this bird’s nest stewed with hashima smells really good. Can I have a serving of it as well?”
Liang Mulan smiled, nodded, and told the servants to bring another serving for Lin Nuan. “You weren’t such a glutton in the past. I got the kitchen to prepare a serving for each person. You’ll get your share…”
“Mom shelled this crab personally. Since I can’t eat it, I’ll let Brother eat it on my behalf!” Lin Nuan passed her plate to Cen Mo.
Cen Mo’s eyes were filled with smiles. “Alright!”
Liang Mulan was an intelligent lady and felt that something was amiss. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Lin Nuan with glimmering eyes. “You’re pregnant?”
Lin Jingquan hadn’t managed to react to this in the beginning. He glanced at his wife, wondering why Liang Mulan was speaking so ambiguously. He then saw Lin Nuan smiling and nodding!
