As cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.
"Mr. Jamison is in the interrogation room on the second floor. After receiving the news, I rushed over from home as soon as possible. I am very sorry about Mr. Jamison's arrest. It is my fault for not managing my subordinates well, and I apologize to Comrade Yang."
"During Mr. Jamison's time at the Public Security Brigade, no one has made things difficult for him. His current mood is relatively stable. You can see him at any time." Chen Yinglong said, then glared fiercely at Wang Biao, who was standing behind Luo Qun downstairs, revealing a look of disgust and anger.
As the captain of the Public Security Brigade, Chen Yinglong did not even know about the surprise inspection operation, and this operation had even led to the arrest of a foreign investor who was in the county for a business visit. The Public Security Brigade had made a huge mistake.
He knew that the county had convened an emergency standing committee meeting over this matter. The conflicts at the meeting had nothing to do with Chen Yinglong. He knew that as the captain of the Public Security Brigade, he would definitely have to take leadership responsibility for what had happened. Whether to vent Mr. Jamison's anger or to let the leaders vent their frustration, they would likely target him, the captain.
On the contrary, Wang Biao, who led the operation, might come out of this incident unscathed. Even if he were held accountable later, it would definitely be better than Chen Yinglong's current situation.
Yang Jie instantly understood from Chen Yinglong's angry explanation that the sudden operation by the Public Security Brigade was likely unknown to Chen Yinglong, the captain. The subordinates had acted beyond their authority, causing such a huge problem, no wonder Chen Yinglong was so angry.
"Captain Chen, can you take me to see Mr. Jamison now?" Yang Jie ignored Chen Yinglong's words. The affairs of the county bureau were too complicated, as evidenced by the two bureau chiefs still arguing downstairs.
"Comrade Yang, this way!" Chen Yinglong sighed and quickly led the way, taking Yang Jie to the interrogation room.
Chen Yinglong personally opened the door to the interrogation room. Yang Jie walked to the door and saw that only a desk lamp was on inside. Mr. Jamison was sitting in a chair opposite the interrogation table, looking like a prisoner awaiting trial.
"Captain Chen, turn on the main light!" Yang Jie, not knowing where the main light was, turned to Chen Yinglong and said this before stepping into the interrogation room.
When the main light in the interrogation room turned on, the previously dim room instantly became bright.
Mr. Jamison, who was sitting with his head down in the interrogation room, although looking somewhat dejected, was not panicked. He had a calm and composed demeanor. Hearing that someone had finally entered the room, he looked up. "Jie, why is it you? Has the boss come too?"
"Would you want everyone to know about this? Jimmy and Lauren don't even know about your situation yet. After calming down for a few hours, are you feeling better?" Yang Jie walked forward, turned off the desk lamp, and poured a cup of water for Mr. Jamison.
"Of course the boss needs to know. After all, I only went out to find a lady because I listened to him and drank that functional drink!" Mr. Jamison blurted out without thinking, saying something that Yang Jie had not expected.
"Aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?" Yang Jie knew that if it were a Chinese person, they would choose to handle such a matter discreetly, pay the fine as soon as possible, and avoid damaging their reputation.
"Jie, this isn't Italy. I have no relatives or friends here. Why should I worry about these things? Besides, I only went out to find a lady after drinking the bottle of wine as per Jimmy's instructions. Jimmy should be happy that I faithfully carried out his orders. He should reward me." Mr. Jamison's way of thinking was completely unexpected by Yang Jie.
Looking at Mr. Jamison, who seemed to think it was perfectly reasonable, Yang Jie felt a wave of dizziness. If Jimmy really found out about this, who knew what decision he would make. After all, as a boss, Jimmy had to maintain his subordinates' dignity.
As a foreign investor, Mr. Jamison was negotiating a stone project with Wuhu County when he was arrested by the police. Although Mr. Jamison was partly responsible, it was Jimmy who had made him drink the wine. Jimmy couldn't possibly blame himself, could he?
"Mr. Jamison, can't this matter be handled discreetly?" Yang Jie looked at the stubborn Mr. Jamison with a hint of helplessness.
"Discreetly? Why should it be handled discreetly? To be honest, I'm not worried about my reputation being damaged, and I don't even mind if this news spreads back to Italy. As long as the boss can provide me with the same kind of wine, my impotence will be completely cured!" Mr. Jamison thought about the aphrodisiac wine he had drunk and the intense effects, which made him extremely excited.
Listening to Mr. Jamison, Yang Jie felt reassured. He remembered that Jimmy had mentioned before giving the wine that Mr. Jamison had impotence. This problem was apparently already well-known to Jimmy and others. After drinking the aphrodisiac wine, Mr. Jamison had gone out to find a lady, and even found two.
Mr. Jamison had probably never had such a memorable experience in his life, and he even wanted to publicize it. Yang Jie, who had never experienced impotence, could not understand the embarrassment of not being able to perform in front of women. Although Mr. Jamison was wealthy, he lacked the dignity of a man in front of his wife and mistress.
"Mr. Jamison, in fact, I am here on behalf of Wuhu County to discuss the aftermath of your arrest with you." Yang Jie had to interrupt Mr. Jamison's endless fantasies, seeing his excited expression.
"Jie, I have to wait for Jimmy to come and pick me up. After all, I was arrested because he made me drink that wine. If he doesn't come to see what I've been through, wouldn't I have been photographed and sat here for hours for nothing?" Mr. Jamison shook his head, unwilling to discuss the matter with Yang Jie.
Yang Jie looked at the loyal Mr. Jamison and frowned. "Mr. Jamison, do you want to drink that aphrodisiac wine again?"
"Of course I do! What do you mean by that?" Mr. Jamison answered Yang Jie without hesitation, looking at him in confusion.
"Actually, those two types of wine were made by me. Jimmy had them sent to the county to test their effects. I am here on behalf of Wuhu County to discuss the aftermath of this incident with you. If you do not cooperate with me, you may never be able to drink that wine again!" Yang Jie, not afraid that Mr. Jamison would be uncooperative, leaned in and threatened him.
Mr. Jamison, a seasoned businessman, had seen many ups and downs, but after trying the functional wine made by Yang Jie, he was completely hooked. Even though Yang Jie was threatening him, he did not dare to be angry.
"Jie, if I cooperate with you, can I drink that wine again?" Mr. Jamison's eyes sparkled as he stared at Yang Jie, showing no signs of being threatened.
"Of course. I have already discussed with Jimmy about jointly developing these two types of functional wine. The winery will be built in Wuhu County. If you can cooperate with me and bring the stone project to Wuhu County, as the project manager, you will have the advantage of being close to the winery and can drink the functional wine every day." Yang Jie's words were laced with temptation, making it hard for Mr. Jamison, who had tasted the effects, to refuse.
"The negotiations for the stone project are already underway. If Wuhu County can meet our conditions and provide the corresponding preferential policies, based on the investment environment, the reserves of stone, and the ease of extraction in Wuhu County, the project is likely to succeed.
However, I cannot violate my professional ethics and persuade Jimmy to invest in Wuhu County if it is not suitable for investment. I cannot do that." Mr. Jamison, a professional manager, had his own principles and bottom line.
Hearing Mr. Jamison's words, Yang Jie smiled in satisfaction. Although Mr. Jamison said he would follow principles, he had already revealed the bottom line of the Red Maple Stone Group. "Mr. Jamison, please rest assured about the project negotiations. Wuhu County is fully committed to cooperating with your Red Maple Group. I believe the project will be successfully established in Wuhu County.
Now, let's talk about your current issue. In China, the sex trade is illegal. Your actions have violated our Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations, and you must accept the corresponding punishment. I hope you will cooperate!"
"Jie, if the sex trade is illegal in your country, why does it still exist in Wuhu County?" Mr. Jamison was somewhat confused after hearing Yang Jie's words.
"Mr. Jamison, you must understand that in any country, there will be certain illegal activities. Some behaviors are beyond the control of the government or the law. Therefore, questioning why this special industry exists is irrational. Do you think such businesses do not exist in your country or in countries that have banned them?" Yang Jie smiled at Mr. Jamison's question and gave an explanation that made Mr. Jamison nod in agreement.
