Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1144 - Mustn“t Be Delayed



Chapter 1144 Mustn“t Be Delayed

“Well, able people should do more work.” Speaker Long nodded slightly and watched the Indian Vice President leave.Special Assistant Yang had been with Speaker Long for many years, so he had a thorough understanding of Speaker Long’s temperament and way of dealing with things. It was only after the appearance of Gu Nianzhi that everything had changed.

His dislike for this woman could no longer be described in words.

But no matter how he hated her in his heart, Special Assistant Yang did not show any sign of his hatred on his face.

On the contrary, his attitude towards her was much better than when he was in the country.

He was polite to her, even respectful.

Gu Nianzhi was originally angry with Special Assistant Yang and Rong Mingxing.

But after spending two days in India and understanding the conditions here, she had some sympathy for them.

Going from the prosperous, advanced and developed imperial capital to the Indian capital New Delhi, which was fifty years behind their imperial capital was not a promotion, but rather, a demotion.

Upon seeing people who had wronged her suffer such misfortune, Gu Nianzhi no longer felt resentful.

She felt that there were no unforgivable grudges between them, so she should let bygones be bygones.

So, her attitude towards Rong Mingxing was much better.

After returning to the hotel for dinner in the evening, she no longer put on a sulky face with Rong Mingxing.

However, Rong Mingxing still avoided her, and neither made eye contact nor talked to her.

Gu Nianzhi tried to reconcile the embarrassing situation between the two, but if Rong Mingxing refused to accept the white flag, she would let it go.

After dinner, Speaker Long took his people to the hospital to visit the ambassador and embassy staff who were hospitalized due to the car accident.

“Speaker Long, this way, please. The ambassador had surgery this afternoon and is already awake. He’s fine; it’s just a broken rib.”

Special Assistant Yang held open the door and invited Speaker Long in.

Gu Nianzhi followed Speaker Long into the ward.

Several bodyguards wore Bluetooth headsets and stood vigilantly at the door.

Rong Mingxing didn’t go in either. She stood alone in front of the corridor window and looked at the stars in the night sky.

The people inside did not come out for quite a while. The person at the door stood there motionlessly and did not speak. She felt bored, so she stood at the window for a while, then went down the corridor and towards the elevator.

She saw a relatively hidden bathroom and opened the door.

This bathroom’s left side was for women, and the men’s room was on the right. It was in the corner between the corridor and the elevator.

If one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t have seen the bathroom there.

She looked in the mirror in the bathroom, put some lipstick on, then turned and left.

As soon as she opened the door a little, she heard the sound of someone talking outside the door.

It was the voice of Special Assistant Yang. A voice she was familiar with.

Rong Mingxing felt embarrassed for a while and planned to wait and come out after Special Assistant Yang had left.

When she was about to close the door lightly, she heard Special Assistant Yang mention her name, and her hands immediately stopped as she perked up her ears to listen carefully.

“…What happened today? Why did you guys give up such a good opportunity?”

“What? The other party is too cunning? How cunning? Didn’t they all stand in the hallway? What about your snipers? Didn’t you brag about there being ‘no stray bullets’ to me?”

“…Well then, that will be enough for today. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, you must hurry up. I’m afraid they will return to the Huaxia Empire if you’re too late.”

“You want me to help? I have already helped you so much, so what else can I do?”

“Okay, I will ask my assistant Xiao Rong to help when the time comes.”

After talking on the phone, Special Assistant Yang left in a hurry.

Rong Mingxing waited for a while before she opened the bathroom door and walked out.

No one was outside, so it was likely that no one knew she was there.

Rong Mingxing didn’t understand what Special Assistant Yang was talking about and didn’t know what she was supposed to help with, but she understood the term ‘no stray bullets,’ and she felt chills rise on her back.

After wandering in front of the bathroom for a while, Rong Mingxing decided to take the elevator downstairs and walk around again. She didn’t want Special Assistant Yang to know that she had heard him talking on the phone.

Twenty minutes later, Rong Mingxing came out of the elevator and saw Speaker Long and his people walking across the corridor.

She stopped in her tracks and smiled politely at them by the elevator entrance as she waited for everyone to come.

Special Assistant Yang saw her and asked with a smile, “Where have you been, Xiao Rong?”

“I went for a walk. I got a little hungry, so I bought some snacks.” Rong Mingxing shook the bag of dried squid that she held at him.

“Haha, I’ve exhausted you all too much today. We will be going back, and you should also go back to the embassy to get some rest. Wait for the vice president to come over tomorrow morning, and then I will talk to him about severely punishing the party responsible for the car accident.”

Speaker Long wanted to help his embassy staff seek justice.

Gu Nianzhi admired Speaker Long even more.

She used to think that Speaker Long was pedantic, soft-hearted, and kind of a spineless man.

However, after following him on this visit, she realized that he had always been contending every inch of land in front of foreigners.

Gu Nianzhi was very impressed with how unrelenting he was with foreigners, and she also understood why Speaker Long was always tolerant regarding domestic affairs.

Speaker Long obviously drew a clear line between outsiders and his own people.

She smiled and stood beside Speaker Long. The way she was holding Speaker Long’s arm was more considerate and thoughtful than that of an assistant.

Special Assistant Yang nodded at her with a smile, and said, “Lawyer Gu, I will need your assistance tomorrow to help our embassy negotiate with the Indian police.”

“It’s an urgent matter that mustn’t be delayed.” Gu Nianzhi responded with an airy smile, and Speaker Long smiled too.

He patted Gu Nianzhi’s hand. “Nianzhi, that’s why I brought you here.”

Although she was young, she had the courage to take responsibility and wasn’t afraid of making mistakes.

As long as she was in the right, she had the audacity to stand up against anyone, and that sort of courage was beyond her years.

Gu Nianzhi returned to the hotel, took out her laptop, and started searching for relevant laws in India.

India’s law was based on common law, but in reality, for this car accident, it wasn’t that complicated.

Because the car involved in the car accident was the embassy car, according to diplomatic practice and the principle of reciprocity, if it was their responsibility, they could be pardoned.

If it was the responsibility of the other party, they had to be severely punished.

Gu Nianzhi heard their people talk about the accident in the ward today.

It was really strange.

The convoy of their embassy had a total of three vehicles, and they were going to the airport to pick up Speaker Long and his group.

There were even policemen riding motorcycles ahead.

But at a turning point, the policeman riding the motorcycle went another way.

At that time, a very sturdy Hummer SUV suddenly rushed out of a narrow alley and rammed into the side of the ambassador’s car.

The car in the back couldn’t hit the brakes in time, and it rear-ended the vehicle in front.

The car in the front happened to see a motorcycle with five or six people on it going the wrong way. In order to avoid it, the car hit the guardrail on the road and flipped over.

Fortunately, no one died. Otherwise, the matter would have been even more serious.

It took a long time for the Indian police to arrive. At that time, the ambulance had already rescued the victims. The embassy was short of manpower, and the scene was destroyed.

Gu Nianzhi held the recording pen and listened to the clip of what the ambassador and embassy staff had said.

“…The Indian police later said that, because they had no witnesses and the accident scene was chaotic, they couldn’t judge who was responsible, so there was nothing they could do.”

“The Hummer SUV that hit us had escaped. One of us wrote down the license plate number, but the police said that the license plate number was stolen and that it wasn’t real.”

“There was also a Retrograde motorcycle. This road was obviously one-way. But that motorcycle had five or six people on it, and it suddenly came towards us while it was going in the wrong direction. It scared us into quickly turning the steering wheel. We couldn’t just crash into it head-on, right? There were five or six people on it after all…”

Gu Nianzhi listened to it over and over again and wrote down all the important points.

Looking at the police’s preliminary report again, she easily found seven to eight violations.

She wasn’t interested in litigation in India, but they had to let the Indian police know that they were lawful people, and they couldn’t just use diplomatic conventions to force them to comply.

The Indian police report suggested that the Huaxia Empire’s Embassy was using diplomatic immunity to oppress them, and forcing them to judge the case against their conscience.

The Indian Vice President seemed to realize that he was going too far this time. He went to Gujarat, the hometown of Prime Minister Dimo, to attend a state banquet, then rushed back overnight.

Early the next morning, he came to the five-star hotel where Speaker Long was staying and waited for him to come down.

Even after Speaker Long had heard that the Vice President of India had arrived early in the morning, he did not say anything.

After handling the affairs according to the usual protocol, he went downstairs and smiled as he shook hands with the vice president. “Thanks for your hard work. You’ve been busy running around all night. Are you tired?”

“I’m not tired, not tired!” The vice president smiled. “Our Prime Minister said I must forget about him and give you a warm welcome. When the Japanese Prime Minister leaves, our Prime Minister will come to see you in person.”

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and rolled her eyes as she stood behind Speaker Long.

Following Speaker Long’s instructions, she coughed a little, then stood up and said, “Your Excellency Vice President, we have some questions about the New Delhi police’s handling of the embassy accident. I wonder if we can go to the police station today and have a talk with the police regarding the illegal issues with their report?”
