C647 The Dignity of the Thomas Family(part I)
"Stanley, what happened to you is related to the family's dignity. The Thomas family will not stand idly by." Bidart looked deeply at Stanley, "I am your uncle, and seeing the blood flowing in our bodies, I will do my best to seek justice for you. But in the future, you have to do your best!" "My child, if you can change your temper, you should live a good life."
You are f * cking standing and talking so much! Should not be bad? If you have the ability, then let's see if you can break away from the family! Stanley thought in annoyance.
Seeing that Stanley didn't utter a word and seemed to listen to his persuasion, Bidart adjusted his breathing and prepared to act cool.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a Chinese official walk over and say to Bidart, "Respected Mr. Bidart, hello, I am Ye Qiang from the Chinese Foreign Ministry. I am the representative of the Foreign Ministry in handling Stanley's case, and the relevant information has been prepared. Please go to the temporary office to discuss about it."
Bidart glanced at Ye Qiang in disdain. He snorted without a trace of politeness and didn't say anything else. He followed Ye Qiang towards the temporary office.
On the conference table, there were detailed information on Stanley's incident. Bidart casually glanced at the information and asked Zhao Xiaoyong, "Respected General Zhao, this incident is very clear. No matter what, it is a given that a Chinese military officer harmed a person in front of everyone's eyes. You won't deny this, right?"
Zhao Xiaoyong nodded and smiled, "Mr Bidart, this is indeed the truth. After the incident occurred, I, as the military representative, immediately rushed to the Tianjing's First People's Hospital, bringing with me the opinion of the military. As for Mr. Stanley, you should be clear that the expert who will treat Mr. Stanley is the best expert that the Tianjing can invite, regardless of the cost. "
Bidart put down the documents heavily and said angrily, "General Zhao, I am not interested in the problem of treatment. What I am interested in is where is the audacious assailant? Has the military taken any coercive measures? "
Ye Qiang frowned and looked at Zhao Xiaoyong. After such a huge incident happened, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually didn't receive any information. It was obvious that the military was deliberately concealing this information. Good heavens, how could you all be so stupid? Stanley's identity was not to be underestimated. He might even be involved in a diplomatic dispute. How could he hide it? Now that he thought about it, this matter must have gotten out of hand and caused quite a stir.
The American Ambassador To China looked at Zhao Xiaoyong with an angry face: "The Tianjing is the capital of China, here, there was a case of a soldier intentionally harming American citizens, which is very regrettable. What is even more infuriating is that after this incident, they did not inform the Chinese Consulate, which is simply unimaginable! We strongly request that Ye Lingtian be extradited to the United States for trial! "
Zhao Xiaoyong frowned. He turned to look at Ye Qiang and said righteously, "Respected ambassador, according to my laws, the crimes committed by Chinese soldiers must be dealt with by the Chinese military!"
"General Zhao, you can emphasize your authority to enforce the law. I will consult with your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please remember, this is not a common criminal case. It involves American citizens. To put it seriously, it involves the dignity of the United States." The ambassador slapped the table and said in a deep voice.
Ye Qiang hurriedly gave Zhao Xiaoyong a meaningful glance and said with a laugh, "Everyone pay attention to your tone and attitude, it's more important to make peace."
Bidart knocked on the table, looked towards Ambassador To China, and was a little dissatisfied with his own question: "Let General Zhao answer my question first."
"Yes!" "Esteemed Mr. Bidart!" Ambassador To China replied respectfully.
The attitude of the Ambassador To China made Ye Qiang and Zhao Xiaoyong break out in cold sweat. The Thomas family was indeed worthy of being one of the four great families that controlled American power.
"Respected Mr. Bidart, after what happened, Ye Lingtian had already escaped. The military has issued a wanted poster, it is now wanted throughout the country." When Zhao Xiaoyong said this, he felt a bit guilty. He didn't know if the wanted poster had been issued yet.
Bidart laughed out loud, got up and closed the office door. He sat down in his original position, smiled at Zhao Xiaoyong, and said with a pale face, "General Zhao, don't you think your answer is laughable? Escape? The information I got was that Ye Lingtian left openly! And before he left, the Chinese police saluted him! Can I take it as a gift? "Please don't use such a clumsy excuse to insult my IQ. Not only did Ye Lingtian not run away, he must be enjoying his life somewhere right now!"
The resident grandmaster could not believe his ears. God, how could the Chinese police be this way when facing the assailant? This... This was unbelievable! This was a scandal, a scandal that would cause a country governed by the rule of law to lose all face!
Ye Qiang gasped and looked at Zhao Xiaoyong with eyes full of fear. "Oh god, what have the police and the military done?" Where is the national image, where is the national dignity? If this were to go out, how would the foreign countries view China? Is it easy for our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work hard to establish the image of Chinese civilization and the rule of law? Well, after what happened today, almost all of my previous efforts were for naught!
"Mr. Bidart, Mr. Ambassador, if the situation is true, I will definitely report this matter to the Central Committee and deal with the officials involved seriously. At the same time, the Chinese Military Commission will also give you an explanation!" Ye Qiang slammed the table, gritting his teeth as he said, "Hua Xia definitely won't allow such an absurd thing to happen. This is a sullying of the rule of law!"
The development of the matter had completely exceeded Zhao Xiaoyong's control. No! To be precise, it was beyond the control of the military! From the current situation, Ye Lingtian had to give an explanation. Otherwise, it would have a significant impact on the diplomatic affairs of the United States and China.
Bidart closed his eyes, slammed the table and said, "Everyone, can we not talk about the national level? Everyone understands, and you guys should be clear about my identity. As the Sixth Elder of the Thomas Clan, I represent the Thomas Clan to express my family's attitude! The Stanley's assassination was not an ordinary criminal case. After it had happened, whether it was the police's or the military's reactions, it was clear without a doubt that it was a challenge to the dignity of the Thomas family! "
Ambassador To China's face turned green, his entire body trembling in anger.
Zhao Xiaoyong frowned, and said: "Mr Bidart, the Chinese military has never targeted the Thomas family!"
Ye Qiang also quickly said, "Respected Mr. Bidart, you are overthinking things. There might be a misunderstanding."
Bidart waved his hand and coldly said, "These are not important. What has happened is already happening. What we need to do next is to solve this problem!" Ye Lingtian had to be brought back to the United States for punishment by the Thomas family! Otherwise, the Thomas family swears that they will unleash all their power to make all the forces that offend the Thomas family pay the price they deserve. "
"Fight to the last moment!" Bidart added powerfully.
Zhao Xiaoyong's face was sullen. He wanted to say something, but was knocked back by Ye Qiang with a look. You are representing the Chinese military right now. This was originally something we did wrongly. Could it be that you want to start a dispute and when the time comes, you can bear the consequences?
Ambassador To China saw that Ye Qiang had given Zhao Xiaoyong a crazy look, and said: "Mr Ye, Mister Bidart has expressed his attitude, and I also dispensed with the pleasantries, I'm from the Thomas family, and I don't belong to any Thomas family. Today, there are many people from the Thomas family on the American side, and many representatives who have the right to speak are also from the Thomas family. That damned guy heavily injured Stanley and completely disregarded his identity. This is equivalent to throwing a bomb inside the Thomas family, if the family didn't react, what do you think is possible? "
Ye Qiang wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded, "It's hard to accept thinking about putting yourself in his shoes."
"From the legal point of view, we have reason to extradite Ye Lingtian to the United States." Ambassador To China looked at Zhao Xiaoyong deeply, the words that came out of his mouth were incomparably cold, "No one can protect Ye Lingtian, not even God. Besides that, all those who cover for Ye Lingtian will be punished! I will convey this incident to the President, and I am sure he will have an unpleasant conversation with your leader. "
Ye Qiang quickly said: "Mr. Ambassador, I don't think there's any need for this matter to go to the leader. Please trust our efficiency, within three days, we will give the Thomas family an explanation."
A feeling of powerlessness hit him, Zhao Xiaoyong had tried his best.
Actually, the moment Bidart set foot on Chinese soil, the outcome was already decided. Due to American pressure, the authorities could not spare Ye Lingtian. This was not only a political need, but also a need for democracy and the rule of law. If he attributed his actions to acting tough, then without a doubt, Ye Lingtian would explode this time.
Bidart arrogantly glanced at the dispirited Zhao Xiaoyong and the fearful Ye Qiang, then raised his head. Thomas family was deeply rooted in American politics and had extraordinary influence, so from this, the international influence of the United States was precisely the influence of Thomas family in the world! If a small Chinese officer were to make a move against the Thomas Family Juniors, it would desecrate the dignity of the Thomas family. If he were to go against the extremely strong Thomas family, there would only be death.
At this moment, Bidart felt like he was above everyone else. Seeing Zhao Xiaoyong's dejection made him very happy. Seeing Ye Qiang's cowardice made him even more excited.
"I want to see Ye Lingtian within 24 hours. I want to see who this military officer is and who gave him such guts!" Bidart raised his eyes and said with an unquestionable tone.
