Huh? There's a magic school here.

Just as Li Shao was declaring his victory, the other party involved and two police officers at the scene arrived, intending to discuss and resolve the matter together.

Andres initially thought it was just a misunderstanding and that clarifying things would resolve the issue. He never expected to encounter such a tacky tactic here; it was obvious this young master Li was a spoiled brat. So, without further ado, Andres pulled out his phone and called the accompanying personnel at the British Embassy in Shanghai.

"Chris, this is Andres. I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late, but I need your help to lodge a protest with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. The police station in Shanghai has detained British diplomats who acted bravely and even attempted to frame them for intentional injury. Also, please inform the Ministry of Commerce of China that we are suspending investment talks with China because we seriously doubt whether China's security environment can guarantee the safety of our staff."

Andres made the call in Chinese to the accompanying staff of the British Embassy in China, leaving those standing nearby dumbfounded. In China, no diplomatic matter is trivial, especially since this foreigner had just claimed to be British diplomats—a privilege granted by diplomatic immunity!

The officers present immediately broke out in a cold sweat. What had they just done? Under pressure, they had cooperated with a second-generation scion with ties to organized crime in an attempt to frame a British diplomat, and the person was now handcuffed in a detention cell? This was real torture! They might lose their jobs.

Even the confident Li Shao was a bit bewildered. What was going on? These two foreigners were diplomats? How could that be! It must be fake. These foreigners were trying to scare him! Yes, that must be it. They're about to die and they still want to scare me! He shouted at the police officers present.

"Don't listen to his bragging, he's just trying to scare us. A diplomat? He might as well be the President of Great Britain! Go ahead and file a case, and arrest this swindler too. I'll put in a good word for you with Uncle Liu!"

Upon hearing this, the officers' initial tension and regret eased considerably. "That's right," they thought, "perhaps the other party was just bluffing! Which foreign diplomat doesn't travel with several Chinese government officials accompanying them? China takes meticulous care of its foreign diplomats, fearing even the slightest problem might occur." Although they reassured themselves this way, they didn't heed Li Shao's advice to detain Andres.

Andres didn't stop there; he continued making calls, this time back in Great Britain, where Alfred answered.

“Alfred, this is Andres. Catherine and I have run into some trouble in the Dragon Kingdom, and we need you to put pressure on the Dragon Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

Alfred didn't ask for details; he only knew that Andres and Catherine were his people, and people who could bring him huge benefits. So he hung up and immediately called the military officer surnamed Wang, who was also completely bewildered when he answered the phone.

Alfred suggested that, given their good relationship, he would first make a private call to the military attaché surnamed Wang to inform him of the incident and instruct him to handle it as soon as possible. If the matter was not resolved within an hour, the British Foreign Office would issue a formal protest, considering that Andres and Catherine were both high-ranking figures in Britain.

Seeing that Andres had hung up the phone, that young master Li said arrogantly.

"Keep acting! Why don't you keep acting? Use whatever connections you have. I'm going to make that woman pay today. How dare she meddle in my business! Doesn't she even know who I am? If she knows what's good for her, let the girl inside have some fun with me. If she doesn't, I'll send her to jail for a few years to sober her up."

Andres was amused by his words, but he didn't bother to pay attention to him. Then he looked at the two police officers who had come to the scene.

"You'd better release my friend now, so the situation won't be too awkward later. If our embassy personnel arrive soon, you'll realize that while handcuffing is easy, removing it is a different story!"

The two officers thought about it and agreed. They understood that the foreign woman had acted bravely, but they were also following Deputy Director Liu's instructions. After hesitating for a moment, one of the officers decided that it wouldn't hurt to unlock the handcuffs first; even if the two foreigners were impersonating diplomats, they could handcuff them again later. So he decided to release the foreign woman.

But Li Shao, who was standing next to him, was unhappy and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing! Just because he says to release him doesn't mean he can't. Do you know I'm in charge here? Don't be afraid, handcuff this guy too. I'll take the blame if there are any problems."

"Young Master Li, this isn't right. We can handcuff the woman under the pretext of investigating a suspect, but it's unreasonable to detain the man who didn't do anything."

"He didn't do anything! He's just disturbing the peace! Do I need to teach him that? Just pin a charge on him and that's it. This is your territory, so you get to decide what happens here!"

Just as the officers were hesitating, the phone rang in the police station's duty room, and the officer on duty quickly answered it.

"Hello, this is the police station."

"Me, okay? I'm not okay at all! I'm asking you, didn't you just arrest two foreigners?"

Upon hearing the voice, the officer on duty immediately stood up straight and answered loudly.

"Yes, Director Yan! Tonight, two patrol officers brought in a foreign woman who was causing trouble. Her companion came to find out what was going on."

"You guys are really something! Who gave you the audacity to detain foreign diplomats? Did you even ask about their identities before detaining them?"

"Director Yan, the victim is Young Master Li! He called Director Liu again, and this matter..."

"What happened? Tell me already! Don't you know what kind of person that guy surnamed Li is? Don't tell me you attacked him!"

"No, no. She was just handcuffed in the detention cell."

Yan Guofu knew immediately that tonight's events were not going to end well. As the head of Shanghai's security forces, he received an urgent notification from his ministry while resting at home in the middle of the night, informing him that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce were in a frenzy. It was because their local police station had detained British diplomats that the ministry's phones had been ringing off the hook with calls from the two ministries. He understood that the two detained individuals must be of very high status; otherwise, it would have been normal for ordinary diplomats to be detained and then investigated the next day before taking any action.

Once he came to his senses, Yan Guofu gave the order.

"Release them immediately and calm them down. I'll be there right away! Understand?"

"It's Director Yan!"

The officer on duty put down the phone, looking at the crowd with a complicated expression. Everyone had just heard Director Yan's angry roar on the other end of the line, and now everyone hated Young Master Li, including Young Master Li himself. He knew who he could mess with and who he couldn't, so why had he lost his mind today and insisted on causing trouble for that foreign woman!
