273: Chapter 260 Justice Envoy 273: Chapter 260 Justice Envoy Soone disrupted his rhythm.
Gao Yi wanted to digress, not because he liked to talk nonsense, but because he genuinely didn’t know how to control the current situation.
So he just found so random topics to pass the ti and think of a plan.
After talking about Gibraltar, he could talk about the Malvinas, and then perhaps the British Museum.
Gao Yi truly wanted to be the Justice Envoy, but the newcor didn’t give him a chance.
He just rambled on, spilling everything that should and shouldn’t have been discussed.
Gao Yi didn’t really mind, but he noticed the expressions of the several significant figures had changed.
The head of the Military Intelligence Sixth Departnt was the lowest in rank here.
Above him was the Pri Minister’s Envoy.
Regardless of the envoy’s rank, he was representing the Pri Minister here, and who would dare to disregard him?
Above him was the Minister of Intelligence.
These days, with swords sheathed and horses released to pasture, intelligence work might not be highly valued, but the Minister of Intelligence still held the rank of a top national official.
And above that was the Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
Ah, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, diplomacy was sothing every country valued.
The US had the State Secretary specifically for this, and although the UK’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs might not possess as much power as the US State Secretary, it was still one of the key departnts in Britain.
With all these big shots present, and none of them showing temper, how could he, a mber of an action team, just babble on without knowing his own weight?
It’s true that this person’s judgnt was quite accurate, but even if Iron Fist George were to co, it wouldn’t allow Gao Yi to leave safely.
Thus, he was only partially correct.
Now it depended on how the ministers would respond, and Gao Yi was extrely curious.
“Iron Fist George…”
The first to respond was the Pri Minister’s Envoy, his face full of confusion.
After looking back and forth among the three faces, he finally said, “Can soone please explain this to ?”
The Minister of Intelligence shifted his gaze away and remained silent.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling, then he lowered his head to look at the setup on the conference table, refusing to et the envoy’s eyes directly.
The envoy turned to the director.
The director wanted to speak, but he clenched his teeth and suddenly turned his head away.
He’d rather offend the envoy, even knowing the envoy represented the Pri Minister, and chose to keep silent, thereby choosing to hide it from the Pri Minister as well.
At this point, Gao Yi’s curiosity surged.
The French were profoundly secretive and had not shared the real details with him.
Now, with the British, they were still saying nothing.
That wasn’t right.
The enemy of my enemy should be my hero – the issues the French refused to discuss should be sothing the British would openly talk about.
Why were they also not speaking?
Was it that they refused to speak or that they dared not speak?
The Pri Minister’s Envoy was no fool.
Seeing that all three were mute, he finally fixed his gaze on Collins and spoke sternly, “You speak.
Tell what exactly Iron Fist George did!”
Collins furrowed his brow and glanced at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi was taken aback for a mont and then he couldn’t help but say, “Why are you looking at ?
Just speak!”
Emily appeared hesitant, but after a mont, she chose to remain silent.
Collins exhaled and then said to the envoy, “I don’t know what Iron Fist George did.”
The envoy beca angry and didn’t conceal his fury as he exclaid, “You people!
You people!”
Collins continued calmly, “But I know Iron Fist George has a not-so-good habit, let’s just call it a habit.”
The envoy frowned, “What is it?”
Collins, a battle-hardened veteran, seed unsure of how to proceed.
He looked at Gao Yi as if assessing whether his next words would provoke Gao Yi.
Gao Yi was even more curious, so he stretched out his hand and urged, “Say it.”
Collins took a breath and said, “Iron Fist George likes n.”
The envoy was stunned for a mont.
Liking n wasn’t really a big deal, could the British still take this seriously?
Collins lowered his voice, “What exactly happened, I don’t know.”
The envoy looked at the director and said, “Due to your work mistakes, a significant crisis has erged between the UK and France, to the extent that the French sent soone…”
He looked at Gao Yi and continued, “And you still plan to keep hiding?
Where do you place national interests?”
The director sighed helplessly and then whispered, “Iron Fist George, he…
I don’t know how to explain.”
“Say it!”
“Iron Fist George was on a mission, he approached…
er…
a…
French…
mber of Parliant.”
The envoy frowned.
The director fidgeted with his tie, continuing in a low voice, “Iron Fist George recorded so videos, it was with this MP…
well, you know, then when the French investigated the source of the leak, they found that MP, and during their arrest, Iron Fist George intervened and broke the legs of two people.”
Gao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
The director’s speech was unclear and muddy, but one could roughly understand – Iron Fist George had seduced a French male MP and obtained intelligence.
A honey trap, quite normal.
Then breaking the legs of two Frenchn while evading capture was also quite normal—it’s too common in the use of honey traps and male seduction.
In the end, even if illicit videos were taken, that couldn’t have been too serious.
Indeed, even Gao Yi thought it was no big deal, let alone the Pri Minister’s Envoy; thus, after giving Gao Yi a glance, he imdiately said to the director, “Is that all?”
The director remained silent for a mont before finally admitting, “He was only exposed because of this mber of Parliant, but during that ti…
he involved quite a few people…
including several ladies…
especially…”
The Envoy gasped sharply.
Gao Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
Could Emily’s mother be involved too?
As Gao Yi worried, the Envoy’s voice trembled as he said, “Hmm, I see.”
The director sighed and whispered, “Among them was also a forr boyfriend of the ex-deputy director of the Directorate-General for External Security.”
Emily’s expression remained unchanged, but Gao Yi almost fell off his chair.
It wasn’t Emily’s mother, it was her mother’s boyfriend.
The sky had fallen, the earth had caved in, and he was suffering an acute embarrassnt, wishing for a crack in the ground to hide into temporarily.
Gao Yi’s mind buzzed, unsure of what to do next.
The conference room fell silent again.
Iron Fist George, indiscriminately involved with n and won alike.
As Gao Yi’s mind continued to buzz with uncertainty, the director continued in a feeble voice, “These aren’t issues.”
Off the charts, and still not an issue?
Gao Yi looked at the director in shock, unable to control his own gaze.
Then he heard the director continue weakly, “When the French were pursuing Iron Fist George, he released those…
videos to blackmail them into not pursuing him, making his actions extrely, extrely infuriating.”
The Envoy didn’t know what to say.
At that mont, Collins suddenly slamd the table forcefully and shouted, “Shaless!”
Indeed, it was shaful, but Gao Yi really wanted to tell him, wasn’t he courting death with such a startling action, which could easily lead to dire consequences?
With his face turning steely, Collins bellowed, “Since when has Military Intelligence Sixth Departnt resorted to such disgraceful tactics!”
The director glared at Collins, while the Minister of Intelligence whispered furiously, “Shut your mouth!”
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs sighed and then looking at Gao Yi, waved his hand feebly and said, “Propose a feasible solution.”
Collins exclaid, “Recall Iron Fist George, have him co here!”
Gao Yi coughed lightly and addressed the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, “I don’t really have any suggestions now; let’s discuss the British Museum matter instead, you should start by returning the artifacts that were stolen from other countries.”
Collins was of the lowest rank, but he still kept trying to dominate the conversation.
Collins urgently said, “That’s impossible, suggest a feasible solution, aren’t you just aiming for retribution?”
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs shouted angrily, “Shut up!
You have no right to speak!”
After scolding Collins, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs turned to Gao Yi and said sternly, “Iron Fist George cannot co, no matter what, he remains our agent, we can’t just expose him because his thods during the mission were sowhat problematic!”
This was wrong, sothing was definitely not normal here!
Gao Yi pondered carefully, observed the expressions of everyone present, in just a split second he suddenly realized, and said in astonishnt, “I get it, could it be that Iron Fist George has defected?
He successfully incited a dispute between the two countries and then fled?”
So simply the truth.
It wasn’t that the British were unwilling to offer up Iron Fist George to appease the French, nor were they unwilling to negotiate, they simply didn’t have him to offer.
The reason France approached Military Intelligence Sixth Departnt seeking retribution and causing trouble was not because they didn’t want to chop Iron Fist George into pieces, but because they couldn’t find him.
The Minister of Intelligence remained silent, the director of Military Intelligence Sixth Departnt kept his head down, the Pri Minister’s Envoy looked utterly astounded, and Collins was filled with righteous indignation.
However, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs remained composed, with an unchanging expression and steady heartbeat, he addressed Gao Yi, “We can definitely handle this crisis in other ways, this situation is not desired by either side, but we should consider…”
“Hehe…”
Gao Yi scoffed as he reached for the pistol in front of him.
This gesture ant there was nothing left to say, since they couldn’t hand the person over, then he would have to start with them.
Finally, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs’ expression changed.
Unable to et the basic demands ant escalating the matter.
With no benefits left, it was ti to talk about justice.
Gao Yi spoke righteously, “I ca for justice, I will uphold justice, I will fight for justice, I will sacrifice for justice, I am the Justice Envoy!”
After speaking, Gao Yi thodically said, “If you refuse to cede territory, then return the stolen artifacts instead; let’s handle it one by one, I have plenty of ti, start by releasing a statent, agreeing to return all stolen items, you have half an hour, if no statent is released, I will start by killing one of you.”
