Chapter 94 Deliberately Making Things Difficult, An Min Steps In

Liang Yi leaned against the edge of the conference table and tapped his knuckles on the surface.

“That’s our restricted area. Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering.”

"But Commander Liang, I hope you understand one thing: we are here only for friendly negotiations and do not want any conflict."

Jason relaxed in front of him, leaning back in his chair.

"After all, our people have indeed disappeared here. For the sake of friendship between our two countries, you should help us find them."

After speaking, Jason gestured to the people behind him to bring up a document.

The document was pushed in front of Liang Yi. As Liang Yi looked at the words on the document, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The paper contained the identity of their so-called missing citizen, along with his photo; he was indeed the person Liang Yi and his group had apprehended.

Now he's been packaged as a legal citizen of country M, and also a so-called professor.

This means that if this person suffers any harm in Liang Yi's jurisdiction, it will be considered as illegal detention.

Jason, he talks a good game, but now it seems like he's setting traps everywhere.

"We can help with the investigation."

Liang Yi's voice remained calm and even. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and his gaze fell on Jason's face.

“But cooperating with the investigation does not mean that we can break our regulations. Mr. Jason, your people have gone missing here, and we will naturally cooperate fully with the investigation, but the rules cannot be broken.”

Jason's smile faded slightly. He put down the evidence bag in his hand and tapped his fingertips impatiently on the table.

"Commander Liang, this isn't an ordinary missing person case. Shouldn't you give us a more proactive response?"

He paused, then abruptly changed the subject: "Or are you deliberately hiding something?"

Liang Yi met his gaze without flinching.

“Mr. Jason, we are doing our best to investigate and will notify you as soon as we have any news.”

"I hope the final result will be as we both wish."

They need to find evidence on that person first, otherwise this time, they will have to endure an unbearable humiliation.

Liang Yi knew that every word he said could be magnified and interpreted, so every word he uttered exuded composure.

We will neither escalate the conflict nor back down in the slightest.

Old Zhang stood to the side, his fists clenched tightly. If Liang Yi hadn't given him a look signaling him to calm down, he probably would have already snapped back.

These American folks are clearly here to cause trouble. Do they really think they're easy to bully?
Seeing that Liang Yi was unmoved, Jason suddenly changed his expression, a slightly mocking smile curving his lips.

He leaned forward and said quickly in fluent English, "Mr. Liang, are you afraid? Maybe your so-called regulations are just an excuse to cover up your mistakes."
If you can't even satisfy such a simple request, how can you prove that your country is capable of handling international affairs?"

(Mr. Liang, are you afraid? Perhaps your so-called regulations are just an excuse to cover up your mistakes. If you can't even meet such a simple request, how can you prove that you are capable of handling this matter?)
These words were not only provocative, but also questioned their capabilities.

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly cooled down.

Although Lao Zhang and the others couldn't understand English, they could tell from Jason's tone and expression that it wasn't something nice, and their faces darkened.

Liang Yi frowned slightly. He could understand some basic English, but Jason spoke so fast and in a convoluted way that he couldn't fully process what he was saying for a moment.

Just as I was about to ask the other person to speak Chinese, a clear female voice came from the doorway.

"Mr. Jason, I think you've misunderstood. Our regulations are not excuses, but the foundation of maintaining order.
Just as your country has its own laws, we also have our own principles.
Investigating within the scope permitted by the regulations is a manifestation of respect for each other's sovereignty, isn't it?"

(Mr. Jason, I think you've misunderstood. Our regulations are not an excuse, but the foundation for maintaining order.)

Just as your country has its own laws, we also have our own principles.

Conducting investigations within the permitted scope is a matter of respect for each other's sovereignty, isn't it?
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw An Min standing at the door. She was dressed in a neat Lenin suit, with a calm smile on her face and clear, firm eyes. She had felt uneasy after returning home and had come back, only to witness this scene.

She majored in English in college, so she heard Jason's words clearly and naturally couldn't let Liang Yi and Hua Guo suffer this humiliation.

Jason clearly hadn't expected anyone here to respond so fluently in English.

Most importantly, his words are sharp and hit the nail on the head.

He paused for a moment, then looked at An Min again, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Who is this lady?"

He asked in Chinese, his tone less dismissive.

“I am Commander Liang’s wife, An Min.”

"Mr. Jason, we have been actively investigating the missing persons case and have already obtained some leads. We believe that we will be able to give your country a clear answer soon."

"But before that, please abide by our regulations. This is not only a sign of respect for us, but also the demeanor befitting a great power like yours, isn't it?"

Jason was speechless after being silenced by Anmin's words. He hadn't expected that Anmin, who seemed so gentle, would be so eloquent and logical, leaving him with no point of rebuttal.

The smile on his face vanished completely, and his eyes swept over An Min and Liang Yi with a sinister look, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Hearing An Min's fluent English reply, Liang Yi felt a warmth in his heart.

Jason had nothing to say, so he got up and left with his men.

After they had gone some distance, Liang Yi told Lao Zhang and the others to leave first.

Only he and Anmin remained in the conference room.

"I almost thought I was going to be overpowered by that foreigner."

"He came here to put pressure on us, so of course he'll be blunt."

Anmin sat down to the side, recalling Jason's words, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

"Liang Yi, you guys need to hurry up."

Hearing An Min say this, Liang Yi nodded: "Minmin, just rest well at home these few days, I'll take care of everything."

Liang Yi didn't want An Min to worry about these things.

"Know it."

After they finished speaking, the two of them left.

The next day, after Liang Yi went to the camp, An Min went to work, but she didn't expect to run into Jason, who was waiting for her, as soon as she stepped out the door.

"Hello, Mrs. Liang."

Jason is blond, blue-eyed, and tall; his smile is indeed very deceptive.

He extended his hand, but Anmin did not shake it.

“Mr. Jason, shouldn’t you be at the camp if there’s something wrong?”

Why stop her? Does she think she can solve their problems?

"Today, I've come to see Mrs. Liang alone."

"May I invite Mrs. Liang for a cup of coffee?"

Jason stood opposite Anmin, seemingly telling her that he wouldn't move aside if she didn't agree.
