Walking to the door, Phoenix stopped and pushed the door open.

MI5 is an intelligence and security agency, and even if it has law enforcement powers, it cannot exceed the limits of the law, that is, the detention of suspects is only 24 hours.

Although this rule was often broken, it did not embarrass Serena.

In any case, Serena is the president of the D&F group of companies, and she is a public figure, so it would be nice to be able to cooperate with MI5 in its investigation.

In fact, Serena only came to the Edinburgh branch of MI5.

As for cooperating with the investigation, that's a lawyer's business.

Because there was no conclusive evidence of what was reported by French television, MI5 simply asked about the explosion that occurred at the D&F company's development center.

Serena did not give an answer, but called a lawyer.

Outside, a sedan was parked.

As Serena walked out, the door of the sedan opened, and it was Lawrence sitting inside.

Serena didn't hesitate and walked straight over.

Because Aziz was not in sight, it had occurred to Serena that it was Lawrence, not Aziz, who had saved her from MI5.

Obviously, MI5 will not give face to a bodyguard either.

"Is there anything you need to explain to me?"

It wasn't until the car started that Lawrence asked.

"Is there anything you need to explain?" Serena was already prepared, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you won't believe those reports, will you?" ”

"So, how do you explain that?"

Picking up the information handed by Lawrence, Serena quickly glanced at it.

is some personal information, not only hers, but also Wang Dong, Luo Qing and others, but they are not comprehensive enough, and many of them have been erased.

"What does this mean?"

Lawrence looked at Serena because it was also the question he wanted to ask.

"Of course, if you believe this, you won't come to see me, let alone pick me up from MI5." Serena exchanged the information for Lawrence. "It's all made up, and it's definitely our competitors who make these names behind the scenes."

"Do you know where I got this information from?"

Serena was slightly stunned and did not say anything.

"I believe what you say, it's just that we can't deny the facts."

"What facts?"

"The fate of D&F."

"I'm afraid you don't need to worry about this."

"There's no denying that you're a great professional manager." Lawrence paused for a moment before he said, "I don't want you to give a definite answer either, but I just ask you to pass on the message." Regardless of whether the news reports are true or not, an investigation into D&F has begun. ”

"I don't need to say that."

"So, do you think the investigation will end in nothing?"

Serena smiled coldly and said, "Your Excellency, I have always believed that Britain is a country with a rule of law, and I have always believed that no one can transcend the law. ”

"The law is the law."

"It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

"I didn't talk to you either, I just asked you to bring a message. If D&F wants to grow, it should play by the rules of the game. ”

"Whose rules?"

Lawrence smiled faintly and looked at Serena meaningfully.

Serena wanted to make things clear, but she held back, because now was not the time for a showdown with Lawrence, and there was not much point in having a showdown with Lawrence.

Don't forget, everyone else has left the UK, except for Serena.

Serena insisted on staying in the UK, not to face Lawrence, but to keep the D&F group of companies and fight for new opportunities for Wang Dong and them.

The point is that Britain is a country governed by the rule of law.

Perhaps, in order to defend national interests, the British intelligence and security agencies will do something shady and shady, but there is no reason for the British authorities to seize a company for no reason, let alone a multinational company, even if there is conclusive evidence, it will have to go through the judicial process.

Obviously, as long as justice is involved, it is a troublesome matter.

Serena is well aware of this.

Don't forget, before following Wang Dong, Serena was a police inspector of Interpol and knew the judicial system of Western countries, including the United Kingdom, very well.

Dealing with D&F companies through legal proceedings is an extremely lengthy process.

Under UK law, the UK authorities, in particular the intelligence and security agencies, can apply in the name of "national security" to freeze all of D&F's assets during the judicial proceedings and prohibit D&F from operating in the UK, but cannot adjudicate on that basis.

After a few years of delay, is there still a need for a verdict?

From another point of view, the guys who made this matter, to be precise, H&K, all they need is to get D&F to withdraw from the U.S. military's OIC program.

In a few years, when the dust settles on the OIC project, everything will be gone.

From the standpoint of the British authorities, they also hope that the big things will be reduced to small things, and the small things will be turned into small ones.

Don't forget, D&F's export of firearms to Saudi Arabia and the acquisition of FN were approved by the British authorities, and if D&F was found to have violated the embargo treaty signed by the UK, the British authorities would also be held accountable for the lax scrutiny and criticized by the US allies.

This is undoubtedly a scandal for the British authorities.

Driven by public opinion, the British cabinet government may even encounter ****.

A few years of delay, and finally ending the judicial process with insufficient evidence, can eliminate all the troubles, not to mention the responsibilities associated with it.

As for personal safety, in Serena's opinion, there is no need to worry about it at all.

She is the president of the D&F group of companies, and even if the British authorities want to deal with her, they can only use open and legal means, not play shady.

What's more, if the accusations against D&F are true, the British authorities should know that Serena is just a puppet hired by Chinese intelligence officers, and she has no value at all, and there is no reason to shoot her, let alone be stupid enough to send someone to deal with a puppet.

Obviously, what Lawrence said had proven Serena's guess.

The British authorities already knew that the owner of the D&F company was Wang Dong, and that Serena was nothing more than a professional manager he had hired to deal with the British authorities.

As for Lawrence's purpose, Serena also guessed one or two.

The British authorities wanted to solve the matter, but they could not come forward directly, so they could only let Lawrence come forward, after all, it was Lawrence's idea to cooperate with D&F.

Of course, Lawrence also has a personal purpose.

This purpose is not difficult to guess.

The British authorities did not intend to expand the matter, and it is likely that the public opinion will be dealt with through lengthy judicial proceedings, and Lawrence wants to take this opportunity to join D&F and complete the acquisition of D&F with minimal money, so as to have the world's top firearms development system in one fell swoop.

Don't forget, FN is a subsidiary of the D&F Group.

It was precisely because of this that Lawrence asked Serena to bring a message to Wang Dong, wanting to make a breakthrough from Wang Dong.

Just, is it that easy?
