Chapter 716: Learned Hypocrisy

William Const almost fainted when he and the police arrived. A group of excited drunks in the bar stopped them and started talking about how Cook Ross and his men had enforced the law in a brutal manner, how they had embarrassed the British, and how they had abused their power for personal gain and talked nonsense. Someone slapped Cook Ross in the face to express his anger.

This slap was like a starting gun, and the whole bar was in chaos. By the time the police rescued Cook, Ross and the other two from the angry drunkards, they were no longer human.

William Const was also helpless, saying that this matter must be dealt with seriously and severely! But he also had to find a way to shut everyone up - this was a scandal for the British police!

The British police have already had enough scandals, how come another one pops up?

Xiao Peng and the others didn't mind doing William a favor; to them, this was just a farce. But the drunk British people at the scene were in trouble, and they all wanted to hang Cook-Ross.

You can't reason with a drunk.

Xiao Peng and his team went to the police station and saw the woman who accused Fabian of rape. She was in her seventies and had bravely stood up and falsely accused Fabian just because Cook-Ross gave her 200 pounds.

What can Xiao Peng do when he meets such a person?

She must have done this because she was poor. She was over seventy years old and still working as a cleaner in a bar with a "full license". It was really pitiful when you think about it; but being poor was not a reason for her to break the law!

At first, Xiao Peng was still struggling with how to deal with this old lady. However, after knowing the identity of this old lady, Xiao Peng was even more confused: this old lady is not poor at all. She is a retired employee of the Dover Port Authority, enjoys good welfare and lives in a single-family villa. If she is considered poor, then 99% of the people in China are poor!

She went to work as a cleaner at the Sailor Bar just because she was bored, and was paid to testify against Fabian just for the 'excitement'.

In her words, she has experienced everything in her life except being a bad person. She doesn't want to leave any regrets when she dies one day.

What can you do when you encounter such a scoundrel? This place is not like China where breaking the criminal law will affect future generations. Now she really has no taboos.

When I went to Europe, I often saw elderly people at some outrageous marches and riots. This is what they rely on, and their thoughts are probably similar to this old lady.

As for Cook-Rose, he was not a man who kept his mouth shut. Before he was even interrogated, he told the whole story clearly.

So the police went to the hospital and arrested Doug and Owen's wife Amy.

When the police arrived, two people were having sex in the hospital bed next to Owen. Even more outrageous, there was also a male nurse and a janitor in the room. According to the officers involved in the arrest, the scene was even more intense than the heavy-flavored "Woodpecker" series...

Xiao Peng could only sigh that foreigners were really good at "playing"!

The matter was handled quite quickly, but Xiao Peng stayed in the police station for a while longer - William Const kept him.

William Const left Xiao Peng with three reasons.

The first is the Luna. Ahmedov's assets have been frozen by the British government, and the ship's ownership has long been a question. A Dubai legal ruling has established that the Luna is Ahmedov's property, but the freeze only considered his financial assets, not his real estate. Unexpectedly, the Luna slipped through the net, and some in the UK are eyeing the ship again. William Const warned Xiao Peng to be cautious.

In response, Xiao Peng said: "Be careful! The ship transfer procedures have been completed, and they were completed by the British shipping department. This is my ship, and you guys are trying to freeze my assets? I have no financial activities in the UK. This matter has nothing to do with me."

The second thing is the crew of the Luna.

Because Xiao Peng had fired the entire Luna crew, the crew was furious. Some even planned to throw Molotov cocktails aboard, but were spotted by MI6 officers searching for terrorist accomplices. Although their attempt was deemed unsuccessful, William Constant warned Xiao Peng to be careful.

To be honest, when Xiao Peng learned about this, his first reaction was disbelief.

Xiao Peng could understand if it was some naive young man who did this, but the crew of the Luna had been serving wealthy people for years. They should know how difficult it was to mess with the rich. How could they dare to do such a thing? He seriously suspected William Const was making this up to scare him.

William Const's reasoning left Xiao Peng speechless: "Those sailors had been serving the wealthy for years, but where was this? The British Empire! How could a Chinese dare to buy a ship here and fire the British crew? They thought that even if things got out of hand, someone would definitely protect them!"

After all, you won't hear anything good from the British media. They think that even if they burn Xiao Peng's boat, Britain will support them.

Little do they know that in the UK, the media serves the wealthy class. Why do the wealthy go to such lengths to speak ill of China? Because they want to make money by doing business with China. If you all knew that China was a completely different place, how could I make money?

For example, during the pandemic, Serbia was heavily criticized by Germany for importing vaccines and medical supplies from China. But what's the truth? Does Germany really hate China? That's not the case. Germany's trade with China is over thirty times greater than Serbia's!

If Serbia increases its trade with China, who will Germany make money from? Everything is in vain in the face of interests!

After William Const finished talking about these two things, he finally got to the point, which was the third point: he apologized to Xiao Peng on behalf of the British top leaders, and expressed his intention to cooperate further: Britain, as the former "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", has a large number of shipwrecks on the seabed, but due to limited manpower and material resources, many valuable shipwrecks cannot be found, so he hopes to cooperate with Xiao Peng.

They also said they were deeply moved by Xiao Peng's rescue of two British citizens who fell into the water and his crackdown on a terrorist attack. They commended Xiao Peng and hoped that he would go to London to receive the award as a testimony to the friendship between the two countries.

Xiao Peng refused without hesitation after learning of their request. "You're so arrogant! Why would I even go to see you? Who do you think you are?"

Of course, he couldn't say this out loud. Xiao Peng is now considered an old hand, dealing with these wealthy Westerners every day. If you ask Xiao Peng what he has learned, it can be summed up in two words:

hypocritical!
