Chapter 255: Press Conference
Unlike last night, today, due to the abundance of time and the fact that I heard that today's events were related to last night's incident, it didn't take much effort for reporters throughout Rio to get the news that another mysterious shareholder of the "New South American Joint Venture" was about to hold a press conference.
On the roof of the "Atlantic Hotel", planes kept taking off and landing, and reporters and videographers jumped down with equipment from inside. It seems that many reporters used helicopters in a hurry!
In the large conference room on the first floor of the hotel, Anne was busy with the staff, while Fang Yuanshan was sitting on the sofa on the side waiting for the arrival of the reporter.
It didn't take ten minutes, from the first reporter to step into the large conference room, the rest of the reporters walked in with excited faces one by one, as if they had made an appointment. Through the gap in the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see that there are still a large wave of reporters rushing inside.
Fang Yuanshan didn't know how many reporters there were in Rio de Janeiro, but looking at the crowd in the audience, there were at least a hundred reporters in addition to the cameraman, and there were still people outside who were joining in.
Anne on the rostrum was not stage frightened at all, stood up and patted the microphone, and only after hearing the echo did she pick up the microphone and said: "I am Mr. Fang Yuanshan's personal secretary Anne Isabella, entrusted by Mr. Fang to invite all journalists and friends to the Atlantic Hotel to hold a press conference, thank you very much for coming, and we have Mr. Fang invited below." β
"Click. Click. Click......"
Fang Yuanshan had just stepped onto the rostrum, and countless flashing lights lit up in an instant, illuminating Fang Yuanshan's eyes and narrowing slightly.
When he saw the people in the camera clearly, the reporter below suddenly let out an exclamation. Many reporters widened their eyes. They did not expect that the mysterious Chinese shareholder of the so-called "New South American Joint Venture" would be a news figure in today's newspapers.
Many reporters can't wait to ask questions.
"Mr. Fang. Are you the other major shareholder of the new South American joint venture?"
"Mr. Fang, may I ask ...... you?"
ββ¦β¦β
He didn't sit down, he raised his hand and pressed down, waiting for the voice below to be quieter before picking up the microphone.
"Ahem. Ahem......"
"I'm Fang Yuanshan, good morning, fellow journalists! Look, it's time to eat soon, but I called all my fellow journalists over for a press conference, and I feel very sorry!"
"Hehe......"
"Hahaha......" The reporters in the audience suddenly let out a good-natured laugh.
After the laughter that followed, he continued, "But it doesn't matter, I've got lunch ready at the hotel." Everyone can enjoy a delicious meal after the meeting, unlimited ......"
After another burst of laughter, he said in a serious tone: "Maybe many journalist friends already know that I am the one who was framed at the Rio police station last night." In front of so many journalist friends, Mr. Morris, who is the sergeant of the Rio Police Department's Serious Crime Unit, openly said that he wanted to frame me. β
"Wow~" There are many reporters in the audience who are talking and whispering, and it seems that many people don't know much about the specific situation at that time.
"It seems that many journalist friends don't know much about what happened, so I'll explain it in detail here. β
"Here's how it happened, I was driving a long battery car from Villa Eight in Copacabana to the Cornicade. You know, the roads of Brazil are always "eaten" a little bit ......"
"Hahaha......"
After a pause, he waited for the laughter to pass before he continued: "I couldn't turn around, so I had to drive to the road and prepare to turn around and go home." A group of strangely dressed young men stood in front of our car, one of whom tried to harass my friend. And then you know, as a man, I'm definitely going to scold him. β
Not only did he not heed the advice to get out of the way, but he also touched his waist with his left hand and dragged my friend with his right hand. Swear to GodγFrom my point of view, I could clearly see that the man's waist was showing a pistol. β
"Ah......h
The reporters in the audience immediately let out an uproar, their eyes widened and waited for his next explanation.
"At this moment, in order not to hurt my friend more, I jumped up from the car and kicked over. As you should know, my hometown is in China, which is the hometown of martial arts. And I myself have loved martial arts since I was a child, so my strength has always been relatively strong. β
Seeing that the reporters below were all waiting for him to reveal the mystery with an interested expression, Fang Yuanshan smiled and said, "Fortunately, my kung fu helped me a lot, the man who tried to pull out the gun was kicked out by me, and at the same time, my bodyguard also arrived at this time." β
"Oh~" Knowing that things didn't go for the worst, the reporters below were relieved.
When the reporters all smiled, Fang Yuanshan threw another bombshell: "Unfortunately, the man I kicked out is dead." β
"Ah......h
The reporters in the audience were fascinated by Fang Yuanshan today, exclaiming for a while, sighing for a while, and now coming here again, they have a hunch that there must be some big news about to break today.
The Rio Police Department is on the cusp today, since Morris said last night that he would make Fang Yuanshan's case an iron case, the citizens of Rio are questioning their law enforcement impartiality, unanimously demanding that Morris be swept out of the police force, and asking Forster to take the blame and resign.
Director Foster had planned to close the case in self-defense, but that Sergeant Morris was not reconciled! He knew Foster too well, and if he hadn't dragged him into the water, he would definitely have to carry this black pot today, and his resignation would be light, and he might have to suffer a lawsuit.
Since he was forced to do this, he slapped a document on his desk after finding Foster, and said straight to the point: "If you don't get rid of that Fang Yuanshan, I'll get rid of you." β
Foster, who had an impatient expression on his face, was ready to open his mouth to let him get out of his office, he caused so much trouble for himself, even if he didn't settle accounts with him, he dared to come to him?
It was then that he saw the name on the paper, "Caleb Foster." Forster, who was holding back the anger in his heart, opened the folder, and when he saw the contents inside, his face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Morris angrily: "You dare to investigate me?"
"Hmph~ Since I'm not happy, then everyone is not happy. This document is a copy, and the original document is in a very confidential place, and it will be automatically sent to the state attorney general's mailbox without my authorization within three days. β
"You ......"
Foster sat down in his office chair and looked at the papers on the table with a blank look and asked, "What do you want?"
Morris's mind is not on the director at all, he also knows that the director is about to retire, and he wants to live a "comfortable" old age in peace, for fear of forcing him to die in a hurry.
"I don't want to do anything, that boy from the East killed my brother Henry, and I want him to die a bad death. β
"And what are your plans?"
Since his face was torn, Morris was not polite, walked up to Foster and propped up the table to look into his eyes and said, "As long as you cooperate with me to send that kid to prison, this document, including the original, will never appear again." I promise!"
"Can I trust you?"
A smile appeared on Maurice's swarthy face, and his mouth full of white teeth glowed with a deep chill in the sunlight outside the room.
"Of course, you know, I've always reassured you, haven't I!"
Now that everyone is on the same page, Foster also asked, "What do you have a good idea?"
"Quite simply, since he insisted that it was not intentional homicide, it would be better to establish manslaughter. Negotiate with his lawyer and let the kid take the initiative to plead guilty, and the kid will definitely reach an agreement with the victim's family, plus the communication with the prosecutor general, the judge should sentence him to 1-2 years in prison, which is enough. β
"Are you sure he'll plead guilty?"
All you should do now is have the court sign the warrant and immediately have the people below take him into custody so that there will be no accidents. β
"Okay!"
