C1770 A Sudden Change in Attitude(2)
If it was just now, when Fann Binn said those words... Counselor Zhan Zhi Ming would definitely be dismissive. He would feel that this was just the venting of a loser. But now, he was truly given a big fright. He directly walked out of his office desk and hurriedly revealed an incomparably ugly bitter smile. " Hey, Director Zhou, don't go, don't go. I still have something to say!"
Zhou Hongyu only knew that Wang Xianghua seemed to be very angry on the phone just now, but he didn't hear clearly what he was really angry about. But at this time, Counselor Zhan asked him to stay, so he was naturally more than happy.
Yang Li couldn't help but secretly laugh at this time. Of course, she knew why Counselor Zhan Zhi Ming's attitude changed so quickly. It was precisely because of this that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Advisor Zhan knew that Yang Li was laughing at him, but at this time, there was nothing he could do. Even if he had to bite the bullet, he still had to laugh! So, even though his smile was very ugly, it was indeed a laugh. Just as he was about to speak, Fann Binn pulled Zhou Hongyu's arm and said. "Director Zhou, let's go. There's no point in staying here. It's better to go out and think of countermeasures as soon as possible. Since the embassy doesn't want to help, someone will naturally help us. "
"No, no, no. I will definitely help. I will definitely help!" Seeing that Fann Binn was obviously saying the opposite to him, Counselor Zhan could only helplessly smile and quickly shout. Zhou Hongyu was shocked. He was obviously not used to the drastic change in Counselor Zhan's attitude.
"Counselor Zhan? You, you promised to help us? But didn't you just say... "
" That was because we didn't know the situation ahead, so we wanted to see how much confidence everyone had in this operation. Let's test it out. The result is pretty good. Everyone has gone through so much trouble to make this trip. If we return empty-handed like this, how could I, as a Counselor, have the face to do so?" Advisor Zhan Zhi Ming laughed bitterly. His words were harsh. Fortunately, he managed to express the true thoughts in his heart.
However, his words immediately shocked the other members of the investigation team. None of them had expected that Counselor Zhan, who had just said that he was not responsible and did not care, would actually make a 360 degree turn. After receiving a phone call, his attitude completely changed. This kind of magic was indeed unacceptable to many people.
What probing? These were all bullshit words used to deceive children. They naturally would not believe it. Some people could not help but rub their eyes and ears, thinking that they had misheard.
Zhan Zhi Ming also felt that his lie had been exposed too much. He couldn't help but awkwardly smile apologetically. "Look at me. It's all a misunderstanding, right? Don't worry, this matter concerns the comfort of China's citizens. How could the embassy not have the obligation to help? The significance of our embassy's existence is to protect the foreigners! Now that the Island Fishing crisis is so complicated, we naturally have the obligation to protect the foreigners in Country R."
The members of the investigation team looked at each other speechlessly.
Brother, please think about what you just said! I don't know who said that there was no obligation to protect the citizens, and who said that university students offended powerful figures. Must we follow the procedure of Country R police? But now, it was as if the two of them had said the exact opposite of each other, but now, all of their words had been said by Zhan Zhi Ming. It was truly a bit too inconceivable! Many people present felt as if the sun had risen from the west.
However, the truth was the truth. This Counselor Zhan had indeed overthrown his words with a smile on his face. He turned to Zhou Hongyu and said warmly, "Come, come, everyone take a seat. I will arrange for someone to bring you to the police station to negotiate. Don't worry, the embassy will definitely accompany you all the way to handle this matter. Little Zhang? Little Zhang! Quickly come in and pour some tea for the esteemed guests!"
Counselor Zhan took the initiative to invite Zhou Hongyu and the others to sit by the sofa. He then called over a confused secretary to pour tea for them one by one. That respectful attitude was as if he was serving his own father. Zhou Hongyu and the others were really flattered. The feeling of living in a dream.
Yang Li, who was sitting beside Fann Binn, could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. She used her arm to push Fann Binn to the side and said in a low voice with gratitude, "Fann Binn, you are really good. I knew you would help us."
"Let's talk about it first. I'm the same as that Zhan Zhi Ming. I don't think saving a university student is my duty. Speaking of which, I'm just a university student, not a leader. I'm not obligated to love the people." Fann Binn rolled his eyes at her and said, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."
"I know, I know you are good to me..." Yang Li was very happy because she knew that as long as the embassy was willing to intervene in this matter, that at least proved that their investigation team's trip to Country R was very likely to succeed, so there was a sweet smile in their voices. There was even a little coquettish tone that made Fann Binn's heart itch. Sitting beside him was his beautiful girlfriend. If he didn't have any thoughts in his heart, he would still be called a man.
"En, that... Don't always use your thanks on your mouth. You have to take action!" Fann Binn slanted his eyes at Yang Li and revealed a trace of an evil smile.
How could Yang Li not know what his words meant? After her face turned red, she thought for a while and said shyly, "Actual action is practical action, but it must be done in an empty place..."
Fann Binn's eyes lit up and he smiled so much that he could not close his mouth. He wanted to ask Yang Li what kind of practical action Yang Li wanted to give him, but the smiling Counselor Zhan walked in front of him at that moment. He respectfully handed the tea to Mr. Fann and said, "Mr. Fann, please have some tea."
Fann Binn was so angry that he could not find a place to vent his anger. He turned around and stared at Counselor Zhan, blaming him for ruining his mood. He could not help but be a little dissatisfied and say, "Counselor Zhan, we are not here to drink tea. You should not be here to serve tea and water now. Instead, you should take the initiative to contact Country R's police. Let's get to the bottom of the situation first! "
Counselor Zhan did not get angry at Fann Binn's direct rebuttal. Instead, he said in a calm tone, "Mr. Fann, I was just about to report this to you. It's like this. Actually, I have already contacted the police of Country R many times. After all, this is Country R, in other people's territory. It's indeed very difficult to contradict them. "
"Country R police's attitude is very clear, not giving face to the embassy at all. So I guess that these university students have offended some big shot. However, there is still a way to resolve this matter. As long as three days of preliminary detention passes, after we ask those university students who they have offended, won't we just pay them a visit to resolve the conflict? This is probably the best way to save those university students as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I protest, the police of Country R will not take the initiative to hand them over."
When Zhou Hongyu and the others heard this, their relaxed mood could not help but become tense again. He could not help but say, "Counselor Zhan, do you mean that we have to foolishly wait for three days? There is no way to make an exception?"
"That's impossible. The rules in Country R are very strict. Even if we bribe them, it won't have a good effect. My suggestion is for everyone to rest for three days. After three days, we can start moving. "
When he said this, Counselor Zhan glanced at Fann Binn. He was shocked when he saw Fann Binn pulling his face down. He continued in a panic, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. I definitely don't mean to delay everyone's time. No matter who it is, I'm afraid the police of Country R will not let them go at this time. These Country R's people are very strict, unless their highest officer gives the order. "
" However, given the sensitive times between the two countries, if the highest officer agrees to let go of the H People, what do you think the people of Country R will do? That will turn the sky upside down! Thus, in order to secure the position of the highest officer, he would definitely withstand the pressure and not be pardoned. Everything will have to wait for three days. "
Fann Binn looked at Advisor Zhan a few times and confirmed that this guy really did not look like he was lying. He was afraid that what he said was not wrong. In this kind of situation, rashly releasing a batch of detained H People. It would be strange if he didn't become the target of public criticism. That was to say, even if the ambassador came forward, he probably would not have the face to save these university students. This matter is really a bit troublesome...
Yang Li also seemed to be a little worried. She asked Counselor Zhan, "Then Counselor Zhan, what do you think we should do?"
Counselor Zhan thought for a while and said, "I suggest that everyone rest for three days. I will send someone to accompany everyone to have fun in Country R. Relax and relax. Three days later, I will bring you to the detention center to see the students who are being detained. Ask them about the specifics of the situation and find a breakthrough point. Then we'll carry out the next step of negotiation and investigation. What do you think?"
Zhou Hongyu sighed deeply at this moment and said," If this is really the case, then I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the next three days. However, he had a heavy burden in his heart right now. How could he be in the mood to go out and play? Forget it. We'll wait for the news in the hotel, Counselor Zhan. I'm willing to believe you, as long as there's news of university students... Can you inform us in time? "
"Alright, of course I can do that." Counselor Zhan's attitude had completely changed. He said with a warm smile. "You all should also be at ease. Once the detention period is over, I will invite a famous lawyer to follow up on this case, and there will be a lawyer... The police will not be so unscrupulous. This will undoubtedly be more beneficial to all of you. "
"We originally wanted to invite lawyers to join the investigation team, but later on, we felt that inviting some domestic normal lawyers to Country R wouldn't have much weight. And those big name lawyers are very difficult to hire, and the price is very high. So we didn't call them. If the embassy can help us hire capable lawyers to help, that would be great." When Zhou Hongyu heard Advisor Zhan say this, he naturally nodded his head happily.
At that moment, Advisor Zhan smiled tactfully and looked at Fann Binn nervously. He smiled cautiously and said, "Mr. Fann, what do you think?"
