490: Chapter 490 A "Rogue" Who Understands the Law!

After all, from a distance, it was a dark, overwhelming crowd, and they were all Black.

Furthermore, these professionally trained Black men were different from those who committed crimes; their aura was incredibly powerful, making it hard for the locals to even breathe.

For a moment, one couldn't tell who the real locals were!

Moreover, the reputation of Black people in England was mostly associated with illegal immigration and crime... So, whenever these people were on the streets all day, the local police station received over a dozen emergency calls daily.

Reporting a suspicious group gathering, attempting to get rich through violent means.

The patrol officers had tried to intervene; one officer stood at the front of the line, demanding they show their identification and state their purpose, otherwise, he would throw them all in jail.

But these people weren't panicked at all, especially the security team leader at the front, who directly presented his work visa and security credentials!

Just as these police officers were about to reprimand them, the other party actually pulled out a copy of England's "Public Order Act."

Opening it right in front of the police to the relevant clause, he then said in English:

"Officer, according to England's 1986 Public Order Act, we are walking normally on the public sidewalk, not obstructing traffic, not harassing the public, and not shouting any slogans. We are completely within the law."

"You're just splitting hairs... Take them down!"

The officer, hot-headed and furious, gave the order. After all, these Black folks were actually reciting the law in front of him; it was clearly premeditated!

This was definitely organized crime!

The people behind the security team leader directly extended their hands, as if they couldn't wait for the police to put handcuffs on them.

"Boss, this feels like a trap! What do we do now?"

The police captain was also hesitant. Just as the standoff reached an impasse, the security team leader raised his "shield book" again.

That's right, the Black security guard behind him had handed him another legal document!

It clearly read: "Human Rights Act."

"You are stopping lawful citizens without cause and restricting our personal freedom, which is suspected to be a violation of Article 5 of the Human Rights Act regarding the right to liberty."

The police captain was already thinking about retreating. After all, he had come here and not only gained nothing, but instead stepped into a pile of trouble.

Now he understood completely: Transsion definitely hadn't swallowed this insult; they were retaliating!

At this moment, the security team leader waved his hand, and someone behind him immediately started recording a video with a mobile phone:

"I am now formally filing a complaint against you for abuse of law enforcement power. I will simultaneously submit a lawsuit to the Police Complaints Commission and the Human Rights Commission."

The patrol officers looked at each other.

They finally understood completely: this wasn't a group of ignorant foreign brutes, nor was it as the chief had said—that they just needed to be driven away.

They clearly understood the law better than the officers themselves, and it seemed someone had specifically coached them on every point.

The officers exchanged glances and finally decided not to get involved in this matter.

"No nonsense!"

Then they slunk away!

After they left, the film crew, who had been waiting in the corner, let out a long sigh; it was a pity they hadn't captured the most exciting footage.

But this was enough!

So, the next morning, these law enforcement activities were plastered all over major newspapers and video websites!

"I knew these white dogs looked down on us!"

"What did your brother do? He was just normally appreciating the city, yet he almost got sent to prison!"

"This is cultural discrimination; he discriminates against us because he thinks we have no culture. We must protest."

With Transsion's hype, this matter quickly spread throughout the London law enforcement agencies, and no one wanted to touch this hot potato.

After all, this was Transsion's counterattack!

Now, just a warning had sent them trending; if they actually arrested them, that would be disastrous.

However, this group of security personnel also made many European citizens feel afraid; they felt these security guards were not ordinary people.

Some said these were mercenaries trained by Transsion in Africa, and others said they were all retired soldiers who had truly seen blood in Africa...

After causing a stir on social media, the relationship between the two sides was quite delicate!

But the CMA employees responsible for carrying out the mission were not so lucky; they had to take detours every day on their way to and from work.

Fearing that something might happen any day!

But the security guards seemed like ghosts that wouldn't go away; everywhere they went, they could see these muscular men.

Under these circumstances, Edward was indeed forced by the CMA higher-ups to go and apologize in person.

He took two assistants and drove for over three hours to Frankfurt, Germany.

Transsion's European headquarters was located here!

His visit went very smoothly. The receptionist seemed to have known he would come, and as soon as he walked in, she said:

"Mr. Edward, General Manager Lin is waiting for you upstairs!"

Edward felt instantly nervous, realizing that he wouldn't be able to escape today without losing a layer of skin.

Upon entering the office, a pot of tea was already set out! And Lin Chen was sitting by the tea table, waiting for him patiently.

When Edward finished his stuttering explanation about it being a misunderstanding, the other party was neither surprised nor angry.

"Mr. Edward, your country's law enforcement agencies used a search warrant to seal my subsidiary, seize core data, and even force all personnel to leave the country for over a month."

"Now, you want to brush it all off with one word: 'misunderstanding'?"

After saying this, Lin Chen didn't waste any more words and poured him another cup of tea.

But Edward felt that this tea was a bit expensive, and also a bit too hot.

"This time, we did indeed receive a large number of false reports. We were also acting in the interest of public safety, and there were loopholes in our verification process."

"However, Mr. Lin, please rest assured. We can immediately lift the seal, return all data, publicly clarify the facts, and eliminate all negative impacts on Transsion."

"Understandable."

Lin Chen nodded.

But this sentence left Edward a bit confused. What did this mean? He had already surrendered; was the other party still going to hold onto this?

While his mind was racing, Lin Chen laughed, a smile that gave Edward goosebumps.

"I have already received the company's accountability report!"

"We have also started a new round of internal investigations. According to company procedures, this kind of cross-border law enforcement dispute requires a joint review by the headquarters' Legal Department, Brand Department, and Strategic Department, and then submission to the Board of Directors for approval."

"I will help you submit your application first, but it will take about... about two months to go through the process, right?"

"Two months?" Edward stood up anxiously. "No! That's too long!"

If it dragged on for another two months, although China Star's European business would be affected, CMA's credibility would have already rotted away...

Moreover, according to what he heard, Transsion's lawyers were already preparing. They had also joined forces with five top law firms from England, France, Germany, and other countries to handle this matter together.

By then, CMA wouldn't be able to withstand it at all; they would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame.

So, he took a deep breath and finally decided to play his trump card!

He believed the other party would definitely agree!
