Chapter 490: Wen Li puts pressure on: "Do you have this privilege or not?"; Sheriff: "
Everyone in the front hall looked at the phone Wen Li was holding.
The DuPont family looked at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.
The young man who was just confronted by Wen Li for wanting to compete with Simon for the inheritance rights was Landon's son, and Simon's cousin.
Called Caesar.
Caesar first exchanged a secret glance with his father, then took a step forward, with an air of integrity, confident that Wen Li was bluffing. He said fearlessly, "If you have evidence, show it. I want to hear what it is."
"If it's a recording, recordings obtained by abnormal means have no legal effect." Langdon pretended to stop him, seemingly reminding and secretly threatening Wen Li not to act rashly, and testing whether Wen Li really had strong evidence. In fact, he was just urging Wen Li to release the evidence.
Wen Li instantly identified the DuPont family's camp.
"The police will decide whether it has legal effect."
As she spoke, she was about to play the call recording.
Simon appeared at this time and stopped her, saying, "Miss Wen."
Wen Li's words just now hit the nail on the head - his uncle Landon's family was indeed concerned about the inheritance rights, and Lin Zhuxi's parents held a high position in the political arena, so the Landon family did not want his marriage with Lin Zhuxi to be successful. If Wen Li released what he said in the restaurant, the Landon family would most likely take advantage of the situation and make a big fuss. Although it was far from being able to ruin the marriage, Simon did not want to have these annoying things.
Lin Zhuxi was reluctant to the arranged marriage in the first place. If Lin Zhuxi knew about it and took the opportunity to make trouble to her parents, it would be very embarrassing.
Besides, if Lu Xixiao knew about it, he would be in trouble. At least his father would scold him.
Simon felt that he was too gentle towards Wen Li.
She should have been searched.
Simon said to the embassy and police, "Miss Wen's friend is indeed here, but she's no ordinary man. She's an internationally wanted thief. He stole something from me worth $7.51 billion. I asked Miss Wen to come here to resolve this matter."
He looked at Wen Li: "Am I right, Miss Wen?"
The embassy people exchanged glances.
An internationally wanted bandit?
Chinese?
They are really talented people in China...
Why didn't Mr. Lu tell me in advance?
But this identity makes things easier for them.
There was every reason to arrest the man from the DuPont home.
Wen Li: "An internationally wanted bandit, that's quite a feat. Since he stole your property, and it's as much as $7.5 billion, shouldn't you have handed it over to the police? And since he's Chinese, shouldn't you have contacted the embassy? Unauthorized detention and execution are illegal. And you're using a powerless woman like me to solve the problem. Do you really think highly of me? Or are you just trying to force me to become your lover?"
"I'm not detaining him privately. I just want to verify his identity first and give you, Miss Wen, a favor. If he's willing to hand over the things, I can give him a chance. How could you be so ungrateful, Miss Wen?"
Simon looked at Wen Li a little hurt.
He always talks in a flirtatious way.
And regardless of the occasion.
Wen Li was too lazy to pay attention to Simon. She turned around and acted like a good person, saying to the sheriff, "Mr. Sheriff, he wants to report the case."
The sheriff was silent for a moment.
Although Lu Xixiao’s identity is not simple, this is Country M.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have been embarrassed, but this was the DuPont family, who controlled half of the United States and had great power in every presidential election. He didn't dare to offend them at all. If it weren't for Lu Xixiao's identity, he might not have even alerted them.
The sheriff was in a dilemma.
He looked at Simon and then at the Ambassador.
The ambassador was also a little troubled.
There was no doubt in his heart that he was leaning towards Lu Xixiao and Wen Li.
But he really didn't dare to offend the DuPont family.
A full 7.51 billion US dollars. No matter how rich the DuPont family is, they cannot swallow this.
Besides, Simon clearly didn't want them to interfere.
Why didn't Mr. Lu tell him anything in advance?
Wen Li: "Is there anything troubling you?"
The ambassador being questioned looked at Wen Li.
The sheriff avoided looking.
The ambassador then asked Simon in an inquiring tone, "Mr. Simon, since the suspect is an internationally wanted criminal and is Chinese, why not hand him over to the embassy and the police for legal proceedings? He must have many other cases, and we will investigate and convict him accordingly. We will not show favoritism or corruption and will do our utmost to recover your stolen items."
Go through the procedures first and take the person away.
Once they leave this manor, it will depend on whether Lu Xixiao or Simon is faster. His ability is limited, so he can only do this.
In this way, he got the job done and didn't offend anyone.
Surprisingly, Simon readily agreed. "As a citizen, it's my duty to cooperate with you. But I can't hand him over to you just yet. The stolen item was an auction item, and the auction organizer has a copy of this. I need to notify them, verify the stolen item, and communicate with them. Let me put it this way: I will voluntarily hand him over to the police in 24 hours. If the suspect suffers any physical or psychological harm during this 24 hours, I am willing to assume all legal responsibility. If they're truly concerned, the police can send someone to monitor me throughout the entire process."
Simon knew that as long as Jasmine left the manor, she would be intercepted by Lu Xixiao on the way without having to wait to the police station or the embassy, so this person could not be taken away by them.
Twenty-four hours is enough for him to hand the person over to the organizer, and once the person is in the hands of the organizer, he can still take back the initiative.
You don't have to guess what Simon is thinking.
Of course Wen Li would not give him these twenty-four hours.
"You have no right to detain a suspect."
It seemed that he was speaking to Simon, but in fact he was putting pressure on the police and the embassy.
Simon's reason was a bit far-fetched, but he had already compromised and only asked for 24 hours. Although a lot of things would definitely happen in these 24 hours, it was not their responsibility, so the police were ready to agree directly, and Wen Li jumped out.
The atmosphere froze.
At this time, a car stopped outside the gate.
The ambassador gritted his teeth and spoke again, "Mr. Simon, this suspect is no ordinary thief. Many precious treasures have been stolen from China in recent years. It is very likely that he is involved. This is a serious matter. I hope Mr. Simon can immediately hand him over to the police or the embassy."
Simon's face darkened, he stared at the ambassador and said coldly, "I said after 24 hours, don't you understand? I don't care what was stolen from you in China. He stole $7.5 billion from me. I want to prove to the organizers that he stole the item before I bought it. It was their fault. I have to ask for compensation from them. If the suspect lost this $7.5 billion in your hands, would you pay for him?"
