Chapter 281: Unfortunately, they are Chinese

Cheng Jun's sudden words were like a bombshell. They stunned everyone there and left them all with a blank mind.

Everyone subconsciously turned their attention to Zhou Ming, their eyes full of disbelief. Just now, when they heard Zhou Ming say that they had a special pardon from the president, no one actually believed it. Even Zhu Yao and Huang Yi, when Officer Luo De and his men came at them, their confidence had already wavered, and they felt very desperate about their future.

They may still be willing to believe in Zhou Ming and believe that he can get the amnesty order, but they don't believe that the amnesty order will arrive so quickly. But now the amnesty order has actually arrived.

Zhou Ming, this is really no ordinary character!

This is what everyone is thinking at the moment, and Zhou Ming is the first to come back to his senses at this time. He walks towards Cheng Jun in the gaze of everyone: 'Consul Cheng, thank you very much for bringing me the amnesty order.'

Cheng Jun just smiled at this and didn't say much. Zhou Ming also understood that this was not the time for sentimentality. He took the pardon from Cheng Jun and went to Officer Rhodes, showing him the pardon: 'Officer Rhodes, this is the president's pardon. It was brought to us from the White House by our country's Consul General in New York, Mr. Cheng Jun. Are there any more questions?'

Officer Rhodes had not yet had a chance to speak when Brooke spoke up, saying, 'Officer Rhodes, he is still lying. This presidential pardon must be fake. You must not believe it. These despicable Chinese people like to do these disgusting things!'

After he saw that Officer Rhodes was not moving, he immediately anxiously continued, 'Officer Rhodes, what are you waiting for? Are you trying to protect these detestable Chinese people? I will definitely complain about you for this!'

Originally, Officer Rhodes was just wondering about the authenticity of Zhou Ming and the others' amnesty. After all, not every policeman had seen a presidential pardon before, and even though he was now a sergeant, he was still just a sergeant, so it was still very unfamiliar to him. He also needed to find a way to prove the authenticity of this thing, but now that he heard Brooke say again that he wanted to complain about him, Officer Rhodes immediately lost his temper.

'Then please go complain about me right now!' Officer Rhodes said, 'But I must warn you in advance that according to federal law, the presidential pardon is a supreme privilege that can pardon all crimes. If you don't agree, you can file a lawsuit in federal court, but you cannot challenge the presidential pardon.'

Hearing what Officer Rhodes said, Brooke immediately realised that what he had just said was a bit extreme. But if he had to apologise to Officer Rhodes in a low voice, especially in front of so many people again, he really didn't know how to say it.

However, while Brook was struggling, the others were not. Then Officer Rhodes turned to Zhou Ming and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm very sorry. I'm not questioning the President's pardon, but as the police chief, I must first see the pardon before I can make a decision. Otherwise, if everyone uses the pardon as a token, many laws simply cannot be enforced.'

Zhou Ming shook his head and said to Officer Rhodes, 'It doesn't matter. I'm not blaming you, Sergeant Rhodes. But I think the next time you have to make a decision, you should think more about it. After all, many things are not always as we usually think.'

'Yes, that's right. I also feel that I sometimes act too impulsively,' said Officer Rhodes, looking like he was humbly accepting a lesson.

Officer Rhodes's words were not entirely a polite remark, because in Zhou Ming's body, he could really feel an aura of superiority belonging to the superior. Otherwise, when Zhou Ming said earlier that he had a presidential pardon and wanted to leave, he would not have cooperated so much as to let him go. Looking back now, one might be able to find traces of acting in him, but that kind of aura from the inside out cannot be faked.

Zhou Ming patted Sergeant Rod on the shoulder and said, 'Okay, Sergeant Rod, you didn't do anything wrong. Since you are the sheriff, you should uphold the dignity of the law. But now that you have seen my presidential pardon, I will be fine, won't I?'

Officer Rhodes immediately shook his head and said, 'Of course you're fine. As the sheriff of Brighton and the representative of the law, I will of course unconditionally uphold the authority of the law. Since you, sir, were able to obtain a presidential pardon, it means that there was at least a miscarriage of justice in this matter. As the sheriff, I must support the supreme ruling of the federation no matter what!'

'Very good, Officer Rhodes. Brighton is very fortunate to have an officer like you. That is our greatest blessing.'

Zhou Ming finally left these words, then told ** to drive away. Officer Rhodes stood straight and saluted Zhou Ming's departing back until Zhou Ming's car disappeared at the end of the road.

Officer Rhodes's feelings on this matter were very complex, because he had so far been unable to determine whether the presidential pardon was genuine. If he were to follow the proper procedure, he would have to take the presidential pardon back to the police station and seek approval from his superiors before making a decision. However, he ultimately did not do so. On the one hand, Brooke had provoked him, and on the other, it was because of Zhou Ming.

In this matter, Officer Rhodes knew very well that his previous style of work was very aggressive, but Zhou Ming not only did not get angry, but praised him for doing so in order to uphold the dignity of the law. This undoubtedly allowed him to view the issue from a very high perspective, and it was very much in the style of a wealthy and important person, and it made him involuntarily follow his train of thought.

Once again, Brooke provoked him, making him act like a spring, but Zhou Ming's words made him feel inferior.

Officer Rhodes never considered himself to be someone with great insight, but after seeing Zhou Ming today, he could really sense that he was a person with great ability, courage, and wisdom. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain the presidential pardon. It's just that...it would be better if he weren't Chinese.

'It's a pity, with such high political wisdom, if he ran for president, I would definitely be the first to vote for him, but unfortunately he's Chinese...' Officer Rhodes sighed, "There's no way he can go any further.'

Zhou Ming had already left a long way away by this time, and if he had heard it, it would have definitely affected his current excited mood.

Zhou Ming and the others went to the teahouse in Chinatown with Cheng Jun. Huang Yi stood up first and excitedly bowed deeply to Cheng Jun, "Thank you very much, Consul Cheng, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have been arrested.'

Zhu Yao also picked up on his words and continued, 'Indeed, Consul Cheng, you are truly our timely rain. At that time, when Officer Rhodes had already brought someone to stop us, if you hadn't come so suddenly, I'm afraid even I and ** they would have been arrested.'

'Consul Cheng, although Huang Yi and Zhu Yao are quite emotional, the reasoning they are saying is still fine, and that is the truth,'

Zhou Ming concluded, but Cheng Jun still shook his head and said, 'Zhou Ming and these two students, thank you for your praise, but that is not the case. I did come here today to save you from Officer Luode, but the person who gave me this information is the one you should really pay attention to, because he gave me the confidence and also told me to come.'

If Zhou Ming's words before only surprised everyone, then this sentence shocked everyone.

Cheng Jun suddenly remembered something after he finished speaking and said, 'Zhou Ming, I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you that I'm not fooling you, because he's already here.'

It was said that a word became a prophecy. As soon as Cheng Jun's words fell, the door to the tea room opened, and an unfamiliar Chinese man walked in.

He entered the room and ignored everyone else, and went straight over to the table. 'Hello, classmate, I know you may not know me, but I know you very well, so we've been watching you for a while.'

Zhou Ming was stunned. 'Who are you? What do you mean by observing me?'

The man laughed and told Zhou Ming, "Observing is actually what it says on the tin. As for who I am, it doesn't matter. What's important is that I must invite you to dinner.'

'Why?" Zhou Ming asked, puzzled.

'It doesn't matter why. What's important is that you must go,' the man said.

Zhou Ming glanced back at Cheng Jun and saw that he was also not responding. Zhou Ming smiled and said to the man, 'If that's the case, I don't think I need to go over there. You may go back.'

The man was stunned, as if he didn't know what to do. Zhou Ming then said to him, 'My friend, I don't know who you are, and I don't care what your status is, but you just told me to go over and have dinner with you. How is that reasonable?'

'You're being ungrateful!' The man scolded Zhou Ming, who just laughed and ignored him.

Cheng Jun then stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, please understand that his attitude was bad because he is a person of his own status, and he also really has something very important to tell you, and it is also someone very important that you will definitely want to meet.'

Zhou Ming felt a little surprised, and Cheng Jun continued, "Zhou Ming, you have encountered so many things since you just came to the United States. Has it subverted your original worldview and outlook on life a little? Have you learned a lot of secrets that you never could have known before? This is a chance for you to find out, because the person you are meeting is someone from a different world to you.'

The man continued, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I apologise if I have been rude, but this is a one-off opportunity.'

Zhou Ming thought about it for a moment, then nodded, 'I understand. Lead the way.'
