0409 The price of getting out
But now the director of the FBI has openly said that he will not play, will not talk to him about the rules of the game of civilized people, and directly play the power of the US government, so that Hafez's confidence will immediately be insufficient, because although his law firm is strong, if the FBI really starts crazy, as long as he chases his clients and fights hard, then the law firm will definitely suffer in the end.

The hard top is definitely not good, how can a lawyer who plays with a pen fight a detective who plays with a gun!
I need to have a few separate conversations with Mr. Hou, and maybe we can come up with a solution that is acceptable to you and me. "Be tough when you should be tough, be cunning when you should be cunning, this old man Hafez is worthy of being the big boss of a law firm representing the rights and interests of Morocco, and his negotiation skills can be described as very sleek.
"No problem, let's talk, we'll continue in 15 minutes. With that, the FBI director left the conference room with his assistant, leaving only two guards at the door of the conference room.
When the old man Hafez with an unkind face walked in front of Hou Rui, Grace, who was holding Hou Rui, was about to be coquettish to him, but he didn't expect the old man Hafez to suddenly make a move and punch Hou Rui in the stomach.
The strength of this punch is not small, especially when Hou Rui was unprepared, Hou Rui bent down, but Hou Rui's physical fitness was not said, after the sudden attack, the next second he returned to his normal posture as if he was fine, and the developed muscles in his abdomen had dissolved the power of Hafez's fist, and he did not receive any damage at all.
"Uncle Hafez, what are you doing?" Seeing Hafez suddenly swing his fist at Hou Rui, Grace, who had a short circuit in her head, was stunned for a moment, and then screamed, pushing the body of the old man Hafez hard, for fear that the two would fight directly.
However, Hou Rui was very calm, there was no fight back or angry expression at all, he just looked at the old man Hafez fixedly.
"Boy, this is a small punishment for getting Princess Grace into trouble, and thankfully, this is New York and not Rabat, or I'll cut off your head. At the same time, the old man Hafez was also staring at Hou Rui's eyes, he first finished speaking fiercely, and then turned his head to Grace, and said in a tone that mixed respect and doting: "Princess, don't worry about it for now, this matter is very troublesome now, I need to reach a consensus with this Mr. Hou, and then it is possible to solve the problem." β
"Well, well, but you can't beat him anymore!" Grace couldn't ignore the general situation, so she just pouted and said aggrievedly.
"I promise Allah that I will not be waiting for him. When the old man Hafez made such a reassurance, Grace walked to the side, accompanied by a female assistant under Hafez, leaving this corner of the conference room to Hou Rui and Hafez alone.
"Tell me, what do you have to do with the death of the American ambassador?" Old man Hafez's eyes were full of wisdom, and he was not a foolish character at first glance.
"It doesn't matter, I was just unlucky to get a picture of the ambassador being killed by a cow. β
"What? Death by a bull? Wasn't it an accident during the event?" Who knew that the old man Hafez had an expression of disbelief, it seemed that the US government and the Spanish government had blocked the news very well, and even a well-informed person like Hafez did not know what was going on.
"It's true, I accompanied Professor Lacasus to the Spanish Running of the Bulls Festival to participate in the event and take photos, who knew that things were so coincidental, one of my photos captured the moment of Ambassador Rick's accident, and later the photo was posted on the Internet by one of my classmates, and Grace and I were inexplicably brought here. β
"Hehehehe, no wonder the Americans will go crazy, and other countries will definitely not accept the result that their ambassador was actually killed by a cow, which will immediately make the United States the laughing stock of the whole world, hahahaha, today I am so happy! Praise Allah, Allah is great!"
However, after the old man Hafez finally laughed enough, his face became gloomy again, and his expression towards Hou Rui became extremely solemn: "It's a pity that this matter is not so funny for you, the Americans may be planning to turn you into the scapegoat of the bull, so things will be really troublesome." β
I'm the scapegoat of the bull, and the bull should be my scapegoat!
Hearing Hafez's words, Hou Rui suddenly had a very funny and nonsensical feeling, but at the moment he was not in the mood to continue to think wildly, he immediately approached Hafez's old man's face and said: "But I'm innocent, it's not fair!"
"Fair? You're not so naΓ―ve, are you? Who doesn't have a few skeletons in their closet! You're not even an ant compared to the international image of the United States of America. β
"What then? Is there any other way to do it?"
"Do you have any evidence that can directly prove your innocence?"
"Yes, I have pictures of the ambassador being hit by a bull. β
"Very good, immediately find a way to publicize it on a large scale, the creation of the ambassador is the basis of public opinion that died in an accident, but this means alone is far from enough, I will send someone to Spain immediately to see if I can find some more photos of other tourists, if we are lucky enough, we should be able to find you and the ambassador standing at the same time, but there is no contact with the photo or video, so as to prove your innocence." β
As soon as his eyes rolled, the old man Hafez roughly came up with a rough plan to wait for Rui's innocence, which is really worthy of being an old fritter in the lawyer industry for many years!
"......" did not wait for his reaction, the old man Hafez thought for a while and continued: "In addition, I also want you to undergo a lie detector test, and if you pass the test and prove that your testimony is true, then I can confidently persuade the federal judge to come forward and ask the FBI to release you immediately on the grounds of obstructing personal freedom." β
As he spoke, the old man Hafez stared at Hou Rui's eyes, and now the old man Hafez has helped Hou Rui come up with a solution, but whether it can be realized depends on Hou Rui's side, if Hou Rui himself has any problems that cause him to fail the lie detector test, then all the plans will be empty talk.
At this moment, Hou Rui's heart is not to mention how fortunate he is, he has suffered so much under the professor, and now he finally sees the return, he is at least 8-9% sure that he can fool the polygraph!
"I understand, I can be tested by a lie detector, I really have nothing to do with this matter, but are you sure that you can use the pressure of public opinion to force the FBI or the CIA to release me?"
"But before I can help you carry out all these operations, I have one more condition?" Hafez suddenly changed his tone and began to talk to Hou Rui about the conditions.
"On what terms?"
"After proving your innocence, I want you to leave Princess Grace immediately. β
"What do you mean by this, to blackmail me?"
"That's right, it's just to blackmail you! If you want to, you can stay and play slowly with the FBI and CIA, or break up with the princess, the attitude of the Moroccan royal family is very clear, it is impossible for them to approve of your relationship with Princess Grace. Sure enough, Old Man Hafez's mouth opened his mouth and pronounced a death sentence on this relationship.
In fact, if you want to say how much Hou Rui loves Grace now, this seems to be a bit exaggerated, but after the two people had a skin-to-skin relationship, the relationship between the two is growing by leaps and bounds, but it is true, although Hou Rui is far from the point where he will die if he leaves Grace, but he wants to be forced to break up like this, Hou Rui's heart is very unhappy!
Unfortunately, this is often the way things are, and you have to pay the price for what you want to get!
Just when Hou Rui was in a dilemma, Grace's angry voice suddenly erupted behind the two: "You don't want to interfere in my life, I'm not a doll in the palace." β
"Princess ......"
"Grace ......"
As soon as Hou Rui and the old man Hafez turned around, they immediately saw Grace with an angry face, which made her whole body tremble, when Hou Rui was about to comfort and comfort Grace, but Grace said to him first: "Wait, don't be afraid, even without the help of Uncle Hafez I will not give up, I heard what you just said, I will use my own strength to prove your innocence, what FB, CIAI I am not afraid of them at all." β
"Princess Grace, this world is not as simple as you think, wait for you to find a reporter and a human rights organization to rescue this kid, but God knows how long it will take, maybe when he comes out of the CIA's black cell, it will be 2050, you will become an old woman, what is the point of all this?" Hafez also wanted to persuade the stubborn Grace to change her mind.
"I don't care, I'm not going to give in!" said Grace, to the forefront.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Grace for a while, the old man Hafez immediately hit Hou Rui's idea, and he finally put it in Hou Rui's ear and said: "Think about it, boy, whether to become a scapegoat and go to prison or change a girlfriend, between the two, I believe you will make a wise choice." β
Out of the old man Hafez's expectations, Hou Rui did not impulsively reject Hafez, but he also did not agree hastily, he just looked at Hafez, and then looked at Grace, and then he silently took Grace's little hand, and the two of them sat together on the chair next to the conference room.
