The progress on Judge Rana's side was going smoothly, and he quickly obtained the official documents regarding the relationship between Biob and Sagir.
"Great! In that case, the Aoli Group will have to give us an explanation no matter what."
Judge Rana got into the car with great interest, but just as he was about to start the engine, he found himself surrounded by a group of people.
This is the city government's underground parking lot. Although frightened, Judge Rana remained somewhat calm.
I tried to start the car, but no matter what I did, it wouldn't start.
Judge Rana was starting to panic. He knew he had stirred up a hornet's nest. Were these people here to kill him?
Having lived in He Country for a long time, he knew very well just how massive the Aoli Group was; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could control everything.
The fact that such a small country as He Guo is ranked as one of the most developed countries in the world, and among the top ones at that, is inextricably linked to the Aoli Group.
It can be said that every citizen of He Guoguo is grateful to the Aoli Group.
However, even so, Judge Rana still wanted to take on the tough challenge of the Ori Group, even if he himself was just a small egg.
Simply because Judge Talana is a jurist with conscience and faith.
"Bang bang"
The car window shook violently after being smashed, giving the feeling that it was about to shatter at any moment.
Judge Rana couldn't do anything; there were no weapons in the car, and as an office worker, he wasn't qualified to carry a gun.
"Is this Judge Rana?"
"Come out here."
Someone is looking for you.
"Hurry up, we won't hurt you!"
It was noisy outside, but Judge Rana still managed to hear what they were saying.
You won't hurt me? Really?
Judge Rana opened his eyes, and with some skepticism, leaned close to the glass window and looked around.
These people are all sorts of strange people; there are white-collar workers, thugs, and even nurses!
Some were fierce and menacing, while others were as gentle as a breeze.
They all surrounded his car, but instead of smashing it or pulling out weapons to shoot him as expected.
Moreover, they didn't have any weapons; instead, they all had a cell phone and kept looking at the screen.
Rolling down the car window, Judge Rana cautiously asked, "Who's looking for me?"
He thought he heard someone say that someone was looking for him?
"We don't know either."
"Look at your phone, that's what it says."
"Your name is Rana, right? Come with us."
Judge Rana didn't dare get out of the car, but leaned over to glance at his phone screen:
"Go to the City Hall underground parking garage and find the owner of the car with license plate number XX: Judge Rana. Reward: 1 Bitcoin."
At the current market price, one Bitcoin is worth more than 70,000 gold coins, which is close to 500,000 yuan in Dongguo currency.
Judge Rana looked around and figured there must be at least twenty or thirty people.
If what's on this phone is true, then someone paid them nearly two million dollars just to find them and follow them.
While Judge Rana was still hesitating, his phone rang.
I checked my phone and saw another unknown message: Follow them, they'll keep you safe, don't drive.
Where to?
Judge Rana made a decision instantly: to follow these people.
He already knew about the relationship between Biob and Sagil. Based on the current situation, it seemed that someone knew someone wanted to harm him, so they came to protect him in advance.
As for whether these people were there to harm him, that has been largely ruled out.
If someone wants to harm him, why go to such great lengths and spend so much money?
"Come with us to the International Criminal Court building."
"Don't drive! We can't keep up!"
"Hurry up, it's a Bitcoin!"
And so, a motley crew of people surrounded Judge Rana, completely surrounding him, and headed toward the criminal court.
Chairman's Office, Aoli Group Headquarters.
"What? You can't make a move? Shoot him! Shoot him! Drive the car! Run him over!"
"What? Dozens of people are surrounding him? There are police officers? There are elderly people? And students?"
Sajir snapped and hung up the phone. "Damn it, is it this difficult for you to kill one person? Are you all idiots? Couldn't you have just done it sooner?"
"A bunch of idiots, morons, and mentally challenged!"
Taking a deep breath, Sagir picked up his phone again and made a call to the Supreme Court...
A striking scene unfolded in Amsterdam: thirty or forty people surrounded a middle-aged man, bustling about as they crossed several traffic lights.
Run red lights without hesitation, and stop by waving your hand when you encounter traffic.
The journey from the City Hall to the International Criminal Court building, which normally takes about twenty minutes, was completed in just eight minutes.
"Shouldn't the mission be completed by now?"
"My Bitcoin hasn't arrived yet."
"They told us to wait two more minutes."
Outside the International Criminal Court, a group of people surrounded a man who was standing there trying to look cool.
The taller ones were at the very back, protecting Judge Rana completely. For safety, they even pinned Judge Rana to the ground.
Judge Rana squatted on the ground, feeling a mix of exasperation, amusement, and gratitude, but inwardly he was extremely grateful to the mastermind behind it all.
He wasn't stupid; after analyzing the situation over this period, he was almost certain that someone was helping him.
The reason for helping him is probably related to the document in his possession, or even that the sender of the document is protecting him.
This person hopes that the facts presented in this document can be made public.
Moreover, he was certain that the person who gave him this document was a citizen of the Eastern Kingdom.
Dongguo is not a member of the International Criminal Court, so it cannot initiate litigation as a sovereign state. However, this does not preclude it from making probes through personal means, such as the means shown here.
He has essentially confirmed the authenticity of this material, and as long as it receives the approval of the Supreme Court, the matter will be classified.
Once a case is classified, a series of procedures will be initiated, which cannot be easily blocked by an individual or organization.
When that time comes, Dongguo will definitely lend me a hand, after all, Dongguo is also a great power.
As Judge Rana became engrossed in his reasoning, the people around him gradually dispersed.
By the time he came to his senses, almost everyone had left.
"What's going on?"
Just then, his phone rang; it had a text message.
"Your safety concerns have been eliminated. You are now free to do what you wish to do. Judge Rana, best of luck!"
This text message was sent by Chitose using an encrypted channel, making it impossible to trace.
At the same time, Gao Ang also flew to the top of the International Criminal Court building.
Since everyone else is here, there's no need for anyone to protect Judge Rana.
After paying them with Bitcoin, Qian Sui went her separate ways, each returning home to their own families.
"Your Excellency, well done!"
Gao Ang praised Qian Sui, "Who came up with this brilliant idea?"
"The third brother, he's so clever and mischievous."
"Hmm, pretty good. It ensured Judge Rana's safety without causing too much of a commotion. Perfect!"
"It's just a bit expensive... This job alone cost us over 2 million gold nuggets, more than 15 million yuan gone!"
I didn't realize that Chitose was such a little money-grubber.
“It’s not a big problem. We’re not short of money. Judge Rana’s safety is more important than anything else. Let’s just watch the show and see how this matter ends.”
Judge Rana glanced at the information, then scanned the room to make sure there was no danger. He then quickly carried the documents into the office building and headed straight for the Supreme Court Justice's office.
The Chief Justice understood Judge Rana's purpose, and this time he did not refuse.
“Judge Rana, it was my oversight before. Here’s what we’ll do: leave the documents with me, and tomorrow, no, this afternoon, we’ll have a meeting to discuss this matter. After all, the Ori Group is a behemoth, so we have to proceed with caution.”
The Chief Justice took a glass of red wine, walked up to Judge Rana, and spoke earnestly.
“Yes, Your Honor is right. It is wonderful that you think this way. On behalf of the victims in the East, I express my respect to you.”
Judge Rana stood up gratefully and bowed politely to the Chief Justice.
"Sigh, I never expected such a large corporation to do such a despicable thing. People's hearts have changed!"
The chief justice was heartbroken, wishing he could skin the Aura Group alive. "You didn't show these documents to anyone else, did you? The Aura Group has connections everywhere. What if the information leaks out..."
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I handled this matter personally, except for the person who sent me the information."
"Oh? Do you know who this person is?"
"I don't know. The sender's address is Shanghai, but the specific address is not provided."
Judge Rana explained everything he knew to the Chief Justice in detail.
“That’s a pity. It would have been better if this person could testify,” the Chief Justice said after a long pause. “Judge Rana, you’d be the main speaker at the briefing this afternoon, would that be alright?”
"No problem, Your Honor, please rest assured!"
After Judge Rana left, the Chief Justice picked up the documents on the table and threw them into the shredder.
Before long, these materials turned into a pile of scrap paper.
The judge picked up his phone, lit the slips of paper with a lighter, and said while flipping through them, "This is all I can do here. The rest is up to you. At the city hall, you need to quickly get someone to erase Biob's information to prevent any further involvement. As long as he has no connection with your Ori Group, even if those Easterners have backups of this information, it won't be of much use. Judge Rana, it's all over now. Spare his life. If something really happens to him, the police will definitely track him down, and someone with ulterior motives might find something out."
High above, the speaker could hear the entire contents of the Grand Justice's phone call.
However, he did nothing, nor did he ask Chitose to stop anything.
As for the afternoon press conference, he no longer has any expectations.
He had completely given up on the International Criminal Court.
"No wonder Dongguo didn't join the relevant treaties of the International Criminal Court. These people only care about their own interests and have no conscience at all."
Watching the Supreme Court justices chat and laugh in their offices with indifference, Judge Rana, who was enthusiastically preparing materials for the briefing, sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, do you think we're too kind, or is this world too dark?"
First, the Dort family used £100 million to cover up the South Vietnam Qushui Lake Base 17 flawlessly. Now, the Ori Group destroyed the island base and their sinister relationship through the transfer of benefits. These things have shaken Gao Gao's faith in the law as the weapon to protect justice for humanity for the first time.
"Sir, you must stay true to yourself. There will certainly be darkness in this world, but I believe that darkness is only a small minority..."
"We only managed to run into such a small group?"
Gao Ang interrupted Qian Sui directly, "Your husband is not so easily swayed. However, these things have taught me a lesson."
What's the reasoning behind that?
Chisui asked curiously.
"So-called justice can only be served where the sun shines. The justice for those victims in the East will never be served in He Country, a place where the sun of the East's laws cannot shine. In the past, I would find a legal excuse for everything I did, whether it was Robert or that mountain man who died in the cave. But now I realize how ridiculous it is to make excuses for myself."
Soaring high in the sky, watching the International Criminal Court building gleam in the sunlight, I found it even more glaring and unsightly.
"The law has limitations... In the face of human nature, the law will appear to have many loopholes. Take the victims of the Philippine cruise ship, for example. We know that the mastermind behind it is the Olli Group, or you could say Sajir and those old fogies, but do you really think that these things will be known to the world?"
Even if we expose it regardless of everything, so what?
The official message from He Guo is very clear: they are determined to protect the Ori Group. As for the deaths of those civilians from Dong Guo, what does that have to do with them?
It's just a couple hundred lives lost. Back then, their colonial actions resulted in the massacre of far more than hundreds or thousands...
Therefore, before the executioner, all we can do is repay blood with blood, and tooth with tooth!
Upon hearing Gao Ang's words, Qian Sui, far away on Changying Island, sighed softly, "Sir, you don't mean to start a massacre, do you? That doesn't align with your values."
Hearing Qian Sui's words, Gao Ang couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. "Kill you my foot! Who said 'an eye for an eye' means killing someone? We are civilized people, and we believe in winning people over with virtue. Here's what we'll do: go and collect some of the Supreme Court's personal privacy or scandals, and we'll start by taking him down."
Going on a killing spree is impossible, but that doesn't stop Gao from using some methods to make these people wish they were dead.
Doesn't your Bethel family want to live forever?
Very well, I'll shatter your illusions and turn all your hopes of the past few centuries into nothing more than flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror.
A Supreme Court Justice is a person, and every person has their own desires, whether it's money, beauty, or power.
What makes people despair is not living in darkness all the time; in darkness, at least there is the yearning to pursue the light.
The most despairing thing is to let them enjoy the glory and wealth brought by endless light, and then kick them hard off the clouds. This contrast between black and white is enough to make their beliefs collapse, leaving them unable to live or die.
"Keep an eye on Judge Rana. Although those bastards say they won't touch him anymore, just in case, we absolutely cannot let anything happen to him again."
"Don't worry, sir, we have money. We guarantee he'll be unharmed."
"Since you've brought up money, we can't possibly pay for my trip abroad ourselves, can we?"
Gao Ang chuckled and used his full power to traverse a thousand meters into the air, searching the Grand Justice's office and body.
"Bank account number...password is xx...you have quite a lot of savings. We'll keep some of your salary, and the rest of your ill-gotten gains will be confiscated as compensation for the victims."
Although the Supreme Court Justice is not the murderer, protecting a criminal can be considered an indirect form of murder.
While Gao Ang was busy, Qian Sui was not idle either.
"Sir, I've found some videos on someone's phone using facial recognition. You might be interested in them."
What type?
"The male lead is that Supreme Court Justice... I don't need to say more about the type, right..."
The male lead?
Does that mean there's a female lead?
Instantly, a scene that disgusted him flashed into Gao Yang's mind. "No way, this old man has this kind of hobby?"
"Yes, and he's also a bottom... Sir, you'd better come back and see, it's amazing!"
For some reason, Gao Ang detected a hint of...excitement in Qian Sui's voice?
"Turn it off right now. Kids shouldn't watch those kinds of things. Aren't you afraid they'll hurt their eyes?"
Out of consideration for his parental role, Gao Ang scolded Qian Sui, but he was also wondering to himself: Will Qian Sui react to those movies?
“It’s alright, sir. By the way, besides these movies, this old guy also has a private safe deposit box in a Swiss bank.”
"You know that?"
The privacy and confidentiality of Swiss banks are well-known.
Even a rogue country like the United States refused to grant Swiss banks access to account holders' private information.
"I saw it in the old man's phone's personal notes. He had set a lot of passwords, but unfortunately, we got them."
"Send me the documents, I'll go to the Swiss bank."
Whether it's a Swiss bank or a private safe deposit box, Gao Feng felt there must be something inside that would interest him.
Retrieving something from a Swiss bank safe deposit box isn't exactly easy, but it's not difficult either.
All you need is a safe deposit box number and the corresponding electronic key.
It doesn't matter whether it's the person in question, or whether it's male or female. Even a dog would do, as long as it can say the safe deposit box number and has the key, the bank staff will open the safe deposit box for it.
To put it bluntly, Swiss banks only recognize the key, not the person.
The safe deposit box number is easy to find; it's all in the memo.
Electronic key? Even simpler, just recreate one.
There are plenty of people in the bank carrying the same key; they all look the same, just at different frequencies.
Gao Feng quickly opened the Chief Justice's personal safe.
