Fiedman listened, completely bewildered.
He never expected that a simple photo taken by a BBC freelance reporter would result in him being taken away.
This kind of thing..
When did it become his turn, one of the top ten lawyers at Kaiyi Law Firm, to handle this?!
However, he did not express this dissatisfaction!
Because he heard something even more surprising from Shen Yan's words.
Shen Yan is a BBC shareholder!
When did the BBC get sold to someone else, and to a Chinese person at that?
This news is even more outrageous and terrifying than the claim that Shen Yan owns 10% of the shares in Kaiyi Law Firm.
He was well aware that countries around the world have absolute control over news media, leaving no room for leniency.
"Can it be done?"
After finishing speaking, Shen Yan looked at Federman and said...
"Boss, no problem."
Fidelman quickly recovered and replied, "The BBC has permission to film and broadcast in the City of Romance, boss. This can be handled, but this temporary staff member of yours must be newly appointed..."
Federman's words were somewhat hesitant. He didn't know Shen Yan's personality, so he could handle the matter, but he estimated that he would have to offer him benefits.
After all, if the romantic city takes this seriously, it will be troublesome.
"Understood, everything will be done according to the rules of the City of Romance."
Shen Yan remained remarkably calm.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
is it possible?
He assigned Xu Yan and the others the identities of BBC staff members to provide them with a layer of protection; at least procedurally, their identities were not in question.
With identity issues resolved, the next problem is money.
Federman breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied, "Since you say so, boss, they will be released in no more than two hours."
"Okay, let's go in."
"Ok."
The group immediately went straight to the gate.
"Stop! Show me your identification!"
Due to the commotion caused by the motorcycle gang's defeat last night, the entire city of romance is under martial law, and the police are naturally very strict in their enforcement.
They had actually noticed Shen Yan and the others coming long ago and were ready at any moment.
Fiedman glanced at Shen Yan, and after seeing him nod, he quickly stepped forward: "Hello, I'm from Kaiyi Law Firm..."
"These are my identification documents. The person behind me is my client, who is also my boss."
"We are here today to bail out a group of journalists who were arrested not long ago."
The guards were clearly aware of this, since the Chinese embassy had called and sent people to negotiate their release shortly after they captured the people.
It has already caused quite a stir.
The guards were surprised when more people arrived and claimed that the group of reporters were their people.
Without suspecting anything, and seeing that these people had complete identification and their identities were not in question, the guard had no choice but to let them in.
After all, they couldn't afford to mess with Fiedman.
This lawyer, Kai Yi, who is based in the romantic city, is very famous and well-connected locally.
The group entered the police station and found it in a chaotic state, filled with operators and document delivery personnel, all in a hurry.
After photocopying some documents under the guidance of a police officer, the group went to a conference room.
"Director Charles, we strongly urge you to take this matter seriously. You have no right to detain our citizens of China without cause."
"Please abide by international law and release them; it would be better for both of us."
“Li, it’s not that I don’t want to calm this down, it’s that your reporters broke the rules. Filming news footage in my romantic city requires permission, otherwise it would be considered espionage.”
"Li, the higher-ups already know about this and have ordered us to investigate carefully."
"What do you mean?"
“Li, we have the right to suspect that they are spies who stole secrets from the City of Romance.”
"Charles, you're talking nonsense!"
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard arguing coming from inside.
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Long beside him, who gestured for him to open the door immediately.
"Who's there! Don't you know there's business being discussed inside? Can't you come in?"
Charles, seeing the door suddenly opened, questioned him sharply.
Seeing Shen Yan and his large group of people made him even more confused and nervous.
Fiedman stepped forward and said with a smile, "Charles, it's us."
"Fidelman, it's you?"
Charles noticed that Federman seemed more relaxed, but he was puzzled as to how Federman had gotten together with the Chinese.
"Haha, what else could it be? The boss asked me to handle the problem, so here I am."
Fiedman didn't start by saying what was on his mind, but instead greeted Charles warmly.
However, the people from the Dragon Kingdom's embassy in the City of Romance, who were sitting to the side, had their pupils shrink when they saw Fiedman, especially after seeing Shen Yan.
Li Hua was very surprised that the person whom he and his team had been repeatedly told to take care of back home had appeared in front of him like this.
However, he didn't immediately go up to greet him; he wanted to see what it was about that would make this gentleman personally come down.
"How do I handle this?"
Charles frowned, glanced at Shen Yan, and then at Li Hua.
He asked in a deep voice, "Fidelman, we are very busy right now, and we also have people from the Chinese Embassy to receive. I'm afraid I don't have time for your matter right now."
"Yes, yes, that's what we came for too."
Fiedman enthusiastically took out the freshly printed documents from his briefcase and placed them on the table.
Charles frowned even more deeply upon seeing this: "Fidman, what do you mean by this?"
“Charles, those Chinese journalists you arrested today are not only reporters from Shanghai TV, but also BBC staff. Here are their employment certificates.”
"In addition, the BBC granted them the highest level of interview privileges."
Fiedman took out one piece of evidence after another and placed them on the table, making Charles's eyelids twitch. He never expected that this group of reporters would involve the BBC.
While Shanghai TV may not have the authority to broadcast this news, the BBC certainly does.
Charles realized something was wrong when he thought about how he had arrested them.
Seeing his expression soften, Federman took out a check he had prepared beforehand: "Charles, it's best to leave this at that. The boss heard that his man had been arrested and came to pick him up in person."
This single sentence reveals two important pieces of information.
The fact that he calls himself "Boss Shen Yan" indicates that Shen Yan is one of the shareholders of Kaiyi Law Firm.
The fact that one of his own people was arrested suggests that Shen Yan has BBC connections.
Neither of them is someone Charles can afford to offend. Even as the director of the romantic city, he is powerless against capital.
Charles understood what he meant, and his heart was filled with shock. He looked at Shen Yan in astonishment, and finally went straight over.
"I'm sorry, it was an oversight on our part that led to the arrest of your person. I'll issue a note to my subordinates right now to release him."
Li Hua: This works?! (Grave)
210 Embassy of China: Is this reasonable?
???
Li Hua watched in stunned silence.
Just now, he and Charles had spent a lot of time talking about Xu Yan and the others, reasoning with them, and even using international law and other evidence to support their claims.
But the other party either wouldn't budge or said that procedures needed to be followed, which annoyed him greatly.
Then Shen Yan arrived.
nailed it!
Show them their employee ID and give them a check.
Seriously? They're acting so recklessly! Doesn't anyone do anything about it?
Where did your righteous words and arrogant demeanor go?
Although Li Hua had seen many scenes in the embassy in the romantic city for so many years, he had never seen anyone as relaxed and carefree as Shen Yan.
This reminded him of places abroad.
Indeed, Quan is very powerful.
But in the international market, even a powerful country like the United States cannot escape the control of money.
Outside of China, money reigns supreme!
"In that case, thank you for your help."
Since the other party was so sensible, Shen Yan was happy to have some free time and started chatting with Charles.
With Charles's instructions, the work was carried out very quickly. His subordinates returned to the office shortly afterward to report: "Commander Charles, as you instructed, everyone has been released and is waiting in the lobby."
"Okay, let's go down."
Charles then looked at Shen Yan: "Chairman Shen, please."
