An idea had already taken shape in Gao Yi's mind, slightly risky, and the greatest consequence of this risk could lead to a deterioration in UK-France relations.
The upside was, if it succeeded, he would be able to walk sideways in France in the future.
The downside was that, if it did succeed, even if the British flayed his skin, it wouldn't quench their anger.
Now to talk about being a Justice Envoy, that was purely disgusting.
The old saying goes, aim for the best, settle for the middle; and if that fails, accept the least. Now it seemed impossible to handle Iron Fist George, but Gao Yi had to at least let the French vent their frustration.
As for truly igniting a serious conflict between the UK and France, what did that have to do with Gao Yi? Even if the French couldn't bear the consequences and decided to throw him under the bus, it still depended on whether the British would accept him.
