Chapter 278: Presidential Pardon
(Bow and thank you for the support of the "Wind God Feather Less" and the monthly pass!)
At noon, at the entrance of the Massachusetts Circuit Court of Appeals, a grand press conference was being held, and countless reporters were holding cameras and video cameras to shoot wildly.
In the click of a magnesium lamp, a small white man faced it proudly, and he said to all reporters: "This time, I can take back my interests from O'Neill's big shark, and I can win this lawsuit, thanks to the help of lawyer Allen, during this time, it was he who helped me collect all kinds of information and evidence, and finally persuaded the judge and the jury to make the most correct verdict on this lawsuit!"
Saying that, this little white man pushed out a middle-aged man with sparse hair next to him, and this person was Alan, a very famous barrister in Brighton.
"Mr. Dennis, I can't afford to be overly praised, I just made the right decision as a lawyer, and this time I am very happy to help Mr. Dennis recover your losses, this is my respect for my profession, and even more so for the federal law! I am very fortunate to live in this land of freedom, not in the middle ...... Those ** countries gave me the opportunity to do such a righteous thing!"
Alan said loudly, which caused a burst of very irritable shooting from the onlookers, and some people even cheered for his speech on the spot, but none of these people noticed that Alan paused unnaturally when talking about β₯the ** country.
In fact, Alan wanted to talk about China at this time, but he suddenly remembered Zhou Ming he saw yesterday, and he couldn't say the word China.
"Lawyer Allen, thank you very much this time, it was you who helped me recover at least $30 million in losses, I don't think it's an exaggeration to give you a villa, I'm going to California for a vacation recently, is Lawyer Allen interested in traveling with me?"
Dennis's question brought Alan back to his senses, and Alan said to him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dennis, I have some very important things to do lately, so I'm afraid I won't have time to accept such a grand invitation, but I would sincerely wish you a pleasant journey, Mr. Dennis." β
Allen's refusal surprised Dennis a little, because he remembered that Allen should have not been arranged recently, could it be the Chinese that day?
This idea made Dennis himself can't help laughing, how to say that Allen is a very famous barrister in Brighton and even the whole of Massachusetts, how can he take a Chinese's affairs so seriously? Aren't Chinese all selfish and despicable poor ghosts, what case can they make Allen so important, this must be some new and important case he has taken on.
Dennis thought so, but he didn't know that he had actually guessed correctly, and Alan would refuse his invitation, really because of the Chinese he had met last time.
Since the other party didn't have time, Dennis was also a person with status, so naturally he wouldn't force him to stay, so they said a few more words to the reporter and let Alan leave.
Coming out of the Court of Appeals for the State Circuit, Allen went back to the law firm as soon as possible, and the front desk lady at the door congratulated him on winning another lawsuit, Allen just nodded and smiled and said thank you, without saying any more, and then went straight back to his office and sat down in his office chair.
On the desk in front of Allen, there was an archival document, which was the file on Huang Yi's case.
Allen reached over and picked up the file and spread it on the desk, in fact, the file of this case is not thick, only a few poor pieces of paper, in fact, this case is not complicated, it is nothing more than a racial discrimination and deliberate injury, even if you are not a professional lawyer, you can see it at a glance, but now in front of Allen, a well-known barrister in Massachusetts, it makes him feel a little incomprehensible.
The party to the case, Huang Yi, was released on bail on the same day, and it was Allen who followed Zhou Ming to the police station to bail, there is no problem, bail is everyone's right, no matter how vicious the criminals are, Huang Yi is just racist, just a waste of some tongues.
Bail is the kind of work that all lawyers do, but what makes Allen feel puzzling is the presidential pardon that Zhou Ming said he wanted.
The so-called presidential pardon, as the name suggests, is a supreme executive order signed by the president for a special amnesty for all crimes committed by criminals.
If it were someone else, Allen would not believe it if he was killed, but Zhou Ming, a Chinese, made him unable to see through it at all, and he always had a feeling in his heart that he could do it, especially after Zhou Ming made that call.
Allen is not a person who likes to delve into world politics very much, but from the two sentences of Mr. Nikolavich and the national influence of North Russia this time, Allen can easily guess that Zhou Ming wants to contact North Russia, which inherited the mantle of the Soviet Union, to put pressure on the President of the United States.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the superpower of the past no longer exists, but no matter how bad, there is still hope that the president of the United States will ask for an amnesty.
But the question is why did the president of North Russia help him?
No matter how Allen's reason is analyzed, it is impossible, but at the same time, his subconscious is hinting that he Zhou Ming can do it.
I still remember the first time I walked into the law firm, I felt that this Chinese was very not simple, especially the money he listened to is useless, if you really want to earn it, you can definitely earn more, this sentence is very domineering in Allen's sound, this sentence many people will say, but can say that it is as domineering as Zhou Ming, but I have never seen it.
At that time, it was out of curiosity that he took the initiative to go up and talk to Zhou Ming, and also said that he could help him, and Zhou Ming immediately said that he entrusted the case to himself.
This sounds like there is no problem with the procedure, how to say that he is also one of the top barristers in the law firm, and he is famous in the entire Massachusetts, Zhou Ming heard that he was willing, and it was normal for him to want to entrust the case to himself, but Zhou Ming didn't seem to know himself, and he seemed to be very familiar with himself.
This is a very contradictory statement, but in Allen's view, it is like this, as a well-known barrister, Allen is very confident in his judgment.
Later, when Miss Front said that Dennis was already waiting in the office, Alan deliberately did not speak, he just wanted to see what choice Zhou Ming would make, but the result made him dumbfounded, because Zhou Ming was waiting for his reply as a matter of course.
This made Alan almost have an urge to vomit blood, he wanted to grab Zhou Ming's collar and shout at Zhou Ming: Damn! I am a famous barrister in Massachusetts, Dennis is a famous real estate tycoon in the Brighton area, and now that you have a conflict with his time, can't you have a normal reaction? What does your indifferent and determined expression mean?
Allen was already a little crazy in his heart at this time, and in the end, Zhou Ming said that he would wait for the president's amnesty order, and Allen was already convinced that he and Zhou Ming were going crazy.
......
When Barrister Allen was mad in his office, at the same time, far away in the presidential office of the White House in the US capital, President Walsh dropped his phone in hatred, and Brent, the president's national security adviser, stood in front of Walsh, he did not say a word in the face of such a situation, but silently picked up the phone and put it in place.
Walsh came back to his senses and looked up and said, "Assistant Brent, do you know where the call came from and what it's for?"
Brent shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. President, I can't guess about that, but I don't think it's pleasant." β
"It's not just unpleasant, it's terrible!" Walsh said, "I tell you, this phone call was from the new president of North Russia, Nikolavich, who threatened me on the phone that he would sign an amnesty for a Chinese in Brighton to release him immediately, and he was a bastard!"
Saying that, Walsh also slammed his desk to show his anger, and Brent thought for a while and said: "Mr. President, this phone call is too strange, why did the President of North Russia help a Chinese who is far away in Brighton sign an amnesty? Is this Chinese him a personal friend, or that Chinese was originally a spy of North Russia, no matter what, we should send him back to China as soon as possible." β
Brent paused for a moment, and then he continued: "Mr. President, I also received a letter from the Chinese embassy yesterday that they also want us to intervene in a racial discrimination case in Brighton. β
Walsh was angry just now, but now that he heard Brent's explanation, he suddenly became at a loss and said: "I can understand that the Chinese embassy will help, but what kind of excitement is there on the North Russian side, could it be that Zhou Ming is some kind of hidden super person this week, so the two major powers will help him like this?"
Walsh didn't know the inside story, and Brent asked him: "Mr. President, my advice is to ignore this matter, after all, this thing happened is too weird, we need to find out the identity of that Chinese first, if we let it go rashly, in case he threatens our American country Ah Quan in the future, then we want to deal with it, then it will be a big trouble." β
Walsh also nodded and said, "Mr. Assistant, you are right, we in the United States are the most powerful country in the world, and we will never allow such insults. β
But before Walsh's words fell, the phone on his desk rang again, and Walsh subconsciously picked up the microphone: "Hello, may I ask whose phone is it looking for......"
Walsh said, but his words stopped abruptly at this point, and Brent looked at him suspiciously, and then listened to Walsh pause for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, I see." β
After saying that, Walsh hung up the phone, then picked up the paper and pen on the desk, put it on the table, and improvised a pardon document, signed his name at the end, and then took it to Brent and said: "This is the presidential pardon I just signed, pardoning a student named Huang Yi in Brighton, a student at Harvard University, who is guilty of two charges: racial discrimination and intentional wounding." β
After receiving the amnesty order, Brent's mind couldn't turn around, and he couldn't understand why Mr. President, who was still full of righteous indignation just now, signed it now? What exactly was said in the phone call just now, and not only this time, but also in these meetings, it seems that there will be such a mysterious phone call, could it be Zhou Ming's relatives in the United States? If he can call here, he must be a person with status.
