Chapter 677

(Chapter posted unedited due to complaint about speed. Fully edited version will be updated later.)

“Mr. Xia, you came at the right time. Please give us your opinions on this matter!” Connell Bridge pointed at Song Baicheng, “He attempted to rape Miss Sylvia and yet he does not admit. This Mr. Ling tried to solve this problem with money. I think that this is an insult to us!”

“????????????????”???????????“?????????????????????????????????????????????”

“Something like this was going on?” Xia Lei looked angry, “Doing such a thing under the broad daylight, where is the law of the land?”

“????????”?????????“???????????????????”

He seemed to have forgotten that it was not day but night. But his words expressed his stand and attitude. He was standing on the German’s side.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ling Han’s expression darkened. He had a feeling that this was not simply a scandal. Song Baicheng is his right hand man, he knew his conduct. Although Song Baicheng was somewhat of a pervert, he would never be reckless not to mention rape the German delegation’s important person Sylvia in the Thunder Horse Military Factory!

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.????????????????

"Are you okay Miss Sylvia?" Xia Lei came to Sylvia’s side. He asked gently, "Do not be scared and do not be nervous. Ling Han is the supervisor. He will stand up for you."

“???????????”?????????????????:“????????????????????????????”

On the other side, Ling Han’s translator translated Xia Lei’s each and every word.

?????????????????????????

Ling Han’s expression darkened further. His eyes stopped on Xia Lei, his eyes becoming cold. At this time he had smelled a hint of a scheme.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Xia Lei did not care about Ling Han’s feeling and reaction. After he had comforted Sylvia, he took off his tank top and tied it around Sylvia’s waist. Although Sylvia was still wearing an underwear, it was still, not appropriate to be so exposed in front of so many men.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

“Thank Mr. Xia, thank you.” Sylvia wiped the tears on the corner of her eye looking very thankful.

“???????????”???????????????????

“Mr. Xia, please tell me, how do you plan on taking care of this matter?” Connell Bridge pressed.

“????????????????”???????

Before Xia Lei could say anything, Ling Han pulled Connell Bridge to the side and whispered, "Mr. Connell Bridge, you guys came to do a technology exchange, we were also very cooperative. As for me, I think that this situation is a misunderstanding. Give me a little time and I will investigate clear and then give a satisfying answer. So in consideration of both of our interests, let us not make this into a huge deal. If this situation becomes big, it will not be good for you, and it will not be good for us."

??????????????????????????“????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”

This was a cue.

???????

This cue immediately played its role. Germany really valued this exchange. The Thunder Horse Military Factory’s technology was the main point and not this stupid situation that was happening in front of them right now. Connell Bridge felt hesitant.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Xia Lei lightly touched Sylvia.

??????????????

Sylvia suddenly started bawling again, her emotions looked uncontrollable, “I have never received such an insult. I...I...” She began to climb up the balcony’s guardrail.

????????????????????????“??????????????......?......”????????????

Xia Lei hugged her waist and said, “Mr. Connell Bridge, quickly come and comfort her.”

????????????????“?????????????”

Connell Bridge came over and tugged Sylvia’s arm. He comforted, "Sylvia, do not be too impetuous. You need to calm down. Their will definitely be an explanation to this. Do not forget what we came to do."

?????????????????????“??????????????????????????????????????????”

As they talked, Xia Lei let go of Sylvia and Sylvia and Connell Bridge came together. She whispered, "If you want Xia Lei’s technology, you must make these two leave."

??????????????????????????????????????????“??????????????????”

Connell Bridge took a second to process what she had said.

??????????

Sylvia’s voice became even smaller, "Making Mr. Xia happy should be better than making these two officials happy right? You need to understand, what we want is Mr. Xia’s technology, not someone else’s."

???????????“???????????????????????????????????????????????”

????????????????????????????????????????.??????????????????????????????????????????????????

Although Connell Bridge did not know why Sylvia would enter into this battle over power, he understood which side he needed to stand on. There was nothing to gain from getting on the good side of two Chinese officials like what Ling Han had suggested. But if he were to get on Xia Lei’s good side, he could complete his mission more beautifully and maybe even get some unexpected surprise. How would someone like him who had worked in the political world for so many years not know how to choose in this situation?

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

“No problem, do you have proof?” Connell Bridge whispered in Sylvia’s ear, “If you can give certain evidence, this case will become easier.”

“??????????”????????????????“?????????????????????”

Sylvia said, “I took a video with my phone.”

???????“?????????”

Connell Bridge said, “That would be great, give it to me.”

??????“????????????”

Sylvia stopped crying and stopped throwing fists. She calmed down. When Connell Bridge let go of her she gave him her phone.

??????????????????????????????????????

Ling Han was suspicious when Sylvia and Connell Bridge whispered to each other. When he saw Sylvia gave her phone to him, his heart suddenly dropped. Before Connell Bridge could look at the phone’s content, he walked up to him and tugged his hand, "Mr. Connell Bridge, I had been very clear. I really hope that you would consider it."

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????“?????????????????????????????”

Connell Bridge knotted his brows, “Mr. Ling, can you please wait a moment? Sylvia said she took a video of what happened with her phone, I want to see it.”

??????????“????????????????????????????????????”

Ling Han’s face stiffened.

??????????

Connell Bridge clicked open the video on the phone. The video was very shaky but you could still clearly see Sylvia and Song Baicheng’s face. Sylvia’s voice was also very clear. She was clearly rejecting and calling for help yet Song Baicheng still pushed her onto the bed, roughly holding her underneath him and moving his hand to pull her underwear.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"Hateful! He is a barbarian!" Yelled a German technician.

“?????????”????????????

"This matter cannot just be put aside. This is an insult to Germany!" Someone called out.

“????????????????????????”?????

“Call the police! Take this guy up to court!”

“????????????”

“A barbarian! He is such a barbarian! I believe he must be punished!”

“???????????????????”

A group of German were filled with righteous indignation.

???????????

Ling Han’s eyes turned to Song Baicheng. His eyes were filled with hatred and scarily cold.

???????????????????????

Song Baicheng was scared to look Ling Han in the eye. He avoided his gaze, his forehead full of sweat. He never thought that Sylvia had turned on the video recording on the phone and recorded the whole process. He actually did not do anything too beyond measure but there was definitely something wrong with the German that Sylvia said that he could not understand.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Connell Bridge finished the video. He looked very angry, “Mr. Ling, didn’t you say you want evidence? Now we have the proof, how do you plan to take care of this?”

?????????????????“?????????????????????????????”

Ling Han said coldly, “We will take care of it the way it should be taken cared of. We have our laws. Whichever one Song Baicheng committed, we will punish him accordingly.”

???????“??????????????????????????????”

“I...” Song Baicheng wanted to explain but when the words came to him mouth he swallowed them again. Nevermind explaining, he would not be able to prove his innocence even if he were to jump into the river.

“?......”???????????????????????????????????????

Connell Bridge took out his phone.

???????????

Ling Han knotted his brows, “Mr. Connell Bridge, who are you calling?”

?????????“?????????????”

Connell Bridge replied, “Of course I am calling our ambassador. This case is very serious, we cannot just let it go.”

??????“???????????????????????????????”

Ling Han said, “Making a big deal out of this will do you guys no good.”

?????“?????????????????”

This time Xia Lei said, “Mr. Connell Bridge, I think it must be because Mr. Song drank too much so he is also unsure of what he was doing. How about we give him a chance. What do you think?”

?????????“???????????????????????????????????????????????”

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Connell Bridge cursed in his head but he kept an angry face, "Fine, since Mr. Ling will plead for us, as long as Miss Sylvia does not want to continue looking into it, I also do not want to make this into a big deal. This is after all a scandal that will negatively affect both of us." He faced Sylvia, "You will make the decision Sylvia."

??????????????????????????“??????????????????????????????????????????????????????”????????“????????????”

Everyone’s eyes focused on Sylvia.

???????????????????

Sylvia’s eyes were blurred by tears, “I do not want to see these two anymore. If they continue to stay at the Thunder Horse Military Factory, I will go to the embassy myself to get justice.”

?????????“????????????????????????????????????????”

“This...” Xia Lei paused.

“?......”???????

Sylvia continued, “Mr. Xia, I respect you but I have decided on this. It will be either they leave, or I go to the embassy.”

???????“???????????????????????????????????”

The translator translated Sylvia’s words to Ling Han.

?????????????????

Ling Han was immediately enraged, “You want me gone? Miss Sylvia, are you somehow mistaken? What did I do wrong? I am helping you solve the problem! Even if I did do something wrong, you do not qualify to tell me to leave! Unless if you guys do not want to stay here anymore!”

???????“??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”

This was already a warning.

??????????

Xia Lei said, “Brother Ling, calm down. Why make such a big deal out of something small? Moreover, no matter how big of a situation it is, we cannot let the German members leave.”

?????“?????????????????????????????????????????????”

Ling Han threatened that if the German party continued to make trouble, it would end this exchange but Xia Lei stepped out and said that no matter what happened the Germans cannot leave. This was obviously helping the Germans and relieving their pressure.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ling Han stared at Xia Lei. He was not stupid. Things have progressed so far, he had already understood a good 70 to 80% of it.

????????????????????????????????????

Xia Lei did not care how Ling Han felt at all. He also did not care if Ling Han knew that he played the role of the manipulator behind the scene of all this. Actually, he would not be able to hide it even if he wanted to because tomorrow Fan Fan would come to the Thunder Horse Military Factory to accept the responsibility for this technology exchange. By then how would Ling Han not understand that it was he who caused his misfortune.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

So what if you understand? I do not care!

????????????

Back then, when Ling Han and Yu Shanhe cooperated to deceive him, he had already not regarded Ling Han as his friend anymore!

??????????????????????????????????

Now that Xia Lei had expressed his standpoint, Connell Bridge no longer hesitated, "Mr. Ling, I think that it is going to far that you are aiding with your man. Since Miss Sylvia has made her decision, then I will respect it. I will now give our ambassador a call. The ambassador Phillip will negotiate with your side to let them assign someone else over.

????????????????????????“??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”

There was nothing more to be talked about.

?????????????

Ling Han faced Xia Lei. He smiled, "Xia Lei, my good brother, thank you for pleading for me."

??????????????“?????????????????????”

Xia Lei sighed, "We’re brothers, do not mention it. It is regretful that I was not able to help."

????????“??????????????????????????”

"Xia Lei!" Song Baicheng pointed at Xia Lei’s nose and spoke in fury, "Stop acting, are you going to act like you were not in behind this!"

“???”??????????????????“??????????????????????”

Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "It seems that you show no repentance for your behavior. Why not just let the Germans take you to court?"

????????“????????????????????????????”

"You..." Song Baicheng was unable to answer.

“?......”?????????

"Have you not embarrassed yourself enough? Leave!" hollered Ling Han.

“???????????”??????

Song Baicheng glared at Xia Lei and turned and left.

??????????????????

Ling Han looked at Xia Lei again, “Brother, must you do this?”

????????“??????????”

Xia Lei looked as if he had been wronged, "Brother Ling, do you also believe that I am behind this? If that is what you really think, then I also have nothing to say. Do as you guys please. Now I will take me leave."

??????????“???????????????????????????????????????????????????????”

Ling Han’s lips moved but he did not say anything. His eyes were extremely cold.

??????????????????????????
