Beijing time, 9:00 a.m.
Just as Cao Xiu stayed up all night, contacting lawyers familiar to Ying Kui in the United States, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued an official statement to protest the US's move to detain citizens without reason.
It immediately attracted attention from all over the world.
This is not the first time that the United States has taken such action.
And Yu Yuan was definitely not the first person to be detained.
Country Z is not the only country treated this way.
If they still think that Country Z is the backward and poor country it was decades ago, they are totally wrong!
A complaint or a protest is undoubtedly like throwing a drop of water into the frying pan.
Countries around the world are instantly boiling!
The United States naturally responded and denied it immediately.
"Our country respects every citizen of a foreign country who studies, travels, or works in our country. We will never trample on the law or detain people without reason."
"Party Z, please be careful with your wording to avoid unnecessary disputes."
Qin Zhiheng curled his lips slightly behind the scenes.
Such a reply is too formulaic and template-like, and does not take them seriously at all.
Shang Cheng is naturally not a person who just sits there and does nothing.
Since you said you didn't detain him, then find him out as soon as possible.
Cao Xiu in the United States is also very wealthy. He hired both lawyers, who are almost the top legal team in the United States, and are ready to defend Yu Yuan.
Shang Cheng's protest draft fired the first shot, and Cao Xiu also knocked on Milt's door through Ying Kui's introduction.
Milt climbed to this position and naturally understood that it was a hot potato.
But Ying Kui asked someone to convey a message, so this matter cannot be dealt with casually.
"You can see me in person in three days. Within three days, I'll withdraw your missing person report with the police. It would also be best if your Ministry of Foreign Affairs shuts up."
"I can't control the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' statements. Yu Yuan is my son, yes, but he's also a citizen of Country Z."
Cao Xiu remained neither humble nor arrogant and did not back down: "As a country, it is normal to protect him, and speaking out is completely reasonable."
China is a society that values personal relationships, and no matter where you are, giving gifts is hard currency.
She also brought a valuable gift. Although doing so was against judicial justice, Cao Xiu could not wait even a minute.
Three days.
As long as I can see Yu Yuan in three days and find out why he was taken away, it will all be worth it.
In this way, with the help of Ying Kui and others, Cao Xiu spent money like crazy and operated with difficulty in the United States.
Shang Cheng put pressure on the other side at the international level.
Even so, after being rejected three or four times, the Secret Service finally acknowledged the matter.
The person is in the confidential department.
But visitation is prohibited.
After Counselor Jiang learned about this, he was about to inform the country, but Cao Xiu turned around and found the university where Yu Yuan was studying.
The person was taken away from the school.
As the parent of the child, she doesn’t even know where the child has gone. The school must be held responsible!
"I spend money to send my children to school, I pay so much money to you, but no one can guarantee their safety!"
"All of the child's research and studies were guided by your curriculum. How could anything he did possibly involve classified information?!"
"Your school must give me an explanation!"
For the first time in her life, Cao Xiu became a difficult parent.
Perhaps foreign universities had never seen this kind of thing before, and they were frightened by the large group of lawyers brought by Cao Xiu.
Soon even Yu Yuan’s alma mater was involved, and from the school’s perspective, it had to ask the authorities to release him unconditionally.
Counselor Jiang watched Cao Xiu's smooth and flowing operation and secretly said, "Excellent."
I have to say that Cao Xiu’s efficiency is also very good.
Just the day before, they said that visits would not be allowed.
The next day, under pressure from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Inspector General and Yeye University of Country Z, he took the initiative to contact Cao Xiu.
"The visitation procedures have been approved. You only have half an hour."
Half an hour.
Something is better than nothing.
Cao Xiu didn't argue with the other party and rushed to the suburbs of the next state without stopping.
The day after Yu Yuan was taken away, he was transferred outside the capital by the U.S. Secret Service.
There's no way they'll find it at the Metropolitan Police Department!
Counselor Jiang drove the car himself and sped all the way, finally arriving before the other party's specified time.
As soon as she saw Yu Yuan, Cao Xiu's tears started to flow.
He is fine and in good spirits, but he has lost a lot of weight.
Yu Yuan gained three pounds during every festive season. When he returned home for the Chinese New Year, all the weight he had gained was gone. He looked skinny and looked like firewood.
Yu Yuan also grinned at Cao Xiu.
"I knew that you, Mom and Dad, would come looking for me, and my sister and the others would definitely find out."
Although he is far away overseas, he sends letters home every week.
Yu Weimin and Cao Xiu also always sent him money, Yu Rou sent him clothes, and Yu You wrote letters filled with all kinds of inspiration and strange thoughts.
Although we are far apart, communication has never stopped.
Therefore, Yu Yuan was not at all panicked after they cut off his contact with the outside world.
His family would definitely notice something was wrong and wouldn't let him wait alone for too long.
Cao Xiu's nose felt sore, but she suppressed the remaining tears and asked in a trembling voice, "Did they give you any trouble?"
"It wasn't a big deal. At first, they treated me to delicious food and drinks, but then they changed their approach and it wasn't a big deal."
Yu Yuan spoke in general terms, not wanting to make Cao Xiu worry.
His dormitory door was kicked open, and when he saw people swarming like locusts, he immediately realized that his discovery was being coveted.
In order to obtain the results of his research, they promised themselves high positions and generous salaries, and at the same time studied his manuscripts and scraps of paper in the room.
But no matter what, Yu Yuan remained unmoved.
He came to the United States just to study.
What you have learned must be brought back home to serve your motherland!
Seeing this, the people from the Secret Service rushed him from the comfortable private room to the interrogation room.
There were no beds for resting, no bathroom, and even the clock was taken away in the interrogation room.
Yu Yuan stayed quietly inside alone. People outside brought him meals on time and turned off the lights every now and then, trying to disrupt his perception of time.
But the other party didn't expect that long-term research had made Yu Yuan very accustomed to being alone.
Without a clock, he counted down in his mind.
Since there was no bed, he just lay down on the table to rest. He had slept on the ground in the open air in the countryside, so why not a table?
As for physiological problems...Yu Yuan knocked on the door and called for help without any hesitation.
International law stipulates that prisoners should be treated well. Besides, he is not a prisoner, so we can't let him suffocate to death.
Such methods are nothing more than mental torture, and Yu Yuan can barely cope with it.
However, under such circumstances, he lost weight very quickly.
Cao Xiu asked him in detail about what happened, and after confirming several times that Yu Yuan's research was within the scope of the school's regulations, she reassured him.
"Your sister said she would hire the best lawyer for you and bring you home no matter what."
"I'm not in a hurry, but my pets will die if I don't feed them."
pet?
Cao Xiu was a beat slow to react.
She didn't remember Yu Yuan having a hobby of keeping pets.
