"We don't know what the basis for Ms. Zoe's allegations is that the Friendship Africa Foundation is a purely charitable organization that buys stale grain from the United States to support the hungry people in Africa through the famine. With the exception of a small portion of the grain stored in a transit centre in Italy, we have shipped all of our purchased grain to Somalia. It is stored in a storage and transportation center designated for us by the United Nations. As for why there are so many seven million tons, because most of them are old grains, so they are old, and a lot of grain can only be used for feed production, and cannot be eaten, so we will treat most of the purchased reserve grain as raw materials for the production of feed at a low price to some enterprises that are willing to accept it, and use this part of the proceeds to buy some new grain, medicines and other materials to supplement it, so the real aid food sent to Africa is definitely not seven million tons, after all, the victims in Africa are also the same people as us. Under no circumstances should you eat moldy grain. We have now filed a lawsuit in the District Court of New York...... "The Friendship Africa Foundation finally reacted when the incident became more and more out of control, and they explained that most of the 7 million tons of food was inedible and stale, so although the Friendship Africa Foundation exported 7 million tons of food, only a small part of it could be used. The Friendship Africa Foundation's rhetoric barely makes sense, but the American public now clearly believes Zoe and the New York Times' rhetoric.

Just after the Friendship Africa Foundation responded and fought back, the American Farmers Association also stepped forward, similarly denying the accusations made against them by the New York Times. However, the American Farmers Association does not take the side of the Caring for Africa Foundation, claiming to be only financial donors and unaware of the specific workings of Caring for Africa. The American Farmers Association's remarks were just a matter of staying out of the way. Although they made a fortune in the grain trade with Seryosha, they were not willing to take responsibility for what happened.

The third to stand up against The New York Times was the Mediterranean shipping company. They denied the inextricable links with the mafia. Tonya, the female shipwive, traveled to the United States in person, and she took The New York Times and Zoe to court in her own name and as a company. They were asked to restore the reputation of the Mediterranean Shipping Company and apologize.

At the same time, at the investigative hearings of the US Congress, the Friendship Africa Foundation, the Mediterranean Shipping Company, and the American Farmers Association gradually unified their voices and shifted all the blame to the New York Times and the female reporter Zoe. These three lawsuits temporarily trapped Zoe's hands and feet, and in order to cope with the lawsuit, she could not spare her energy to continue to pursue the truth behind the food case. And the New York Times was in the same situation, because of the huge influence of the New York Times in the United States, a team of lawyers hired by Seryosha applied to the New York District Court for a press restraining order during this period. Because the lawyers argued that if The New York Times continued to publish articles against the plaintiffs during the trial, the trial of the case would be unfair and could affect the jury's verdict. This argument was legally valid, so the New York District Court granted the lawyers' request.

Congress, fearing that it would be accused of shielding the Reagan administration, made the investigative hearings completely open to the media. CNN even broadcast the hearing live. Congressional hearings differ from court hearings in that their sole purpose is to uncover the truth and open an investigation into the U.S. Department of Agriculture's role in the case. Although the Congress is relatively large, his hearings only convene the relevant parties to explain the situation, and do not involve the matters of the trial.

Investigators commissioned by Seryosha quickly figured out Zoe's family background. Zoe was born into an elite family in the United States, his father was a diplomat and his mother was a freelance writer. Zoe grew up wandering around the world with her parents, spoke many Chinese, and after graduating from college, Zoe worked for the New York Times for a while before leaving the United States to become a freelancer.

As can be seen from Zoe's family environment, Zoe doesn't know much about agriculture. So according to this characteristic, the lawyers of Seryosha and his family decided to test Zoe's depth. So during a court trial, the MSC lawyer took out two handfuls of grain and put them in front of Zoe and asked her: "Ms. Zoe, one of the two handfuls of grain in front of you is barley, can you tell the difference?" ”

"This one?" Zoe said without thinking, pointing to one of the larger particles.

"I'm sorry I lied to you, but these two are actually different varieties of wheat?" The lawyer then asked.

"Hehe, I'm sorry you got it wrong, but it's understandable, after all, you're not an American who grew up on a farm, and it's normal that you don't know each other, and if I hadn't known beforehand, I'd have had a hard time distinguishing between the two grains! Miss Zoe, do you know what barley is used for in Europe? I asked agricultural experts that barley is not used as the main food in Europe, but as feed! In view of your lack of sufficient knowledge of the identification of grain varieties, Ms. Zoe, we have reason to suspect that Ms. Zoe does not know whether the grain in the photographs he provides is really wheat, let alone whether it is produced in the United States...... "Seryosha's lawyer hired a lot of money caught Zoe in court that he did not have knowledge of agriculture and began to pursue it, and Zoe claimed that MSC was assisting friendly Africa in smuggling American wheat to the Soviet Union. The photographs provided in the article show that the grain is indeed wheat produced in the United States, which is almost impossible. So this lawsuit is not unfought.

Several lawsuits have involved Zoe, and Zoe has not been able to leave the United States to continue the investigation. So Zoe contacts Jimmy, who is preparing to return home from Turkey. Zoe told Jimmy about the situation on the phone, and then Zoe said to Jimmy, "Jimmy, these damn guys dragged me down with a lawsuit, and now we can only rely on you!" Jimmy, don't go back home, go to Somalia and investigate the UNRWA Food Storage and Transportation Center, the Friendly Africa Foundation says they have hoarded a lot of food there, I don't believe it, as long as you can prove that they are lying, they are finished! ”

"Okay, Zoe! Take care of yourself, I won't let you down! By the way, Zoe, I found new evidence in Turkey, Abdul Kateli goes to Italy once a month, and I think there must be some secret in this! Jimmy replied over the phone.
