Huh? There's a magic school here.

The rest was simple. The two officers quickly released Catherine from the detention room and led everyone to the conference room. They mainly wanted to resolve the matter before their superiors arrived; otherwise, their situation wouldn't be as simple as just suspension.

Although Catherine had been detained for a long time, she was still unharmed. Moreover, she knew that given her status, this incident wouldn't affect her at all, so her mental state was alright, which relieved many people present. At this moment, the previously arrogant Young Master Li also began to wilted; he had one of his underlings use the excuse of going to the restroom to quickly inform his family of what had happened.

While everyone waited, Chris, an entourage sent by the British Embassy in Shanghai, and accompanying personnel from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived. Both groups were in a hurry. The British side was anxious because they feared Andres and Catherine might suffer, especially Chris, who was in charge of this matter at the embassy. If anything happened to the two of them under his care, they would be in deep trouble. They might even be exiled to Somalia to suffer.

The accompanying personnel from the Dragon Kingdom were completely unprepared for this situation. They had been providing the VIPs with the best food and drinks during the day, fearing they might displease them. Who would have thought they'd be detained by the police in the middle of the night! They were just given a severe dressing-down by their superiors, who questioned why they hadn't accompanied the VIPs on their trip. They argued that if they had, this wouldn't have happened!

Honestly, we had no idea someone would go out for barbecue in the middle of the night and then act heroically! More importantly, she didn't even notify us before she went out, and we're completely innocent in the local police's detention!

Andres called Chris into an outer office. He walked ahead and, when no one was looking, removed the memory card from the small, enchanted camera and tossed it into his spatial bag. After entering the room and checking that everything was alright, he spoke to Chris.

"Here's a memory card that records everything that happened tonight. We don't need it now, but since we're in the right, we should make the most of it; keeping it would be a waste. Also, here's a bottle of medicine. Go get some water and take it into the conference room. Put the medicine in the cups and give it to that young master Li."

After saying that, Andres pretended to take out a memory card and a small bottle of truth serum from his pocket.

Chris hesitated slightly after taking the item. He didn't understand what Andres was going to do, so he looked at Andres with some confusion.

"Don't worry, Chris, I'm not crazy enough to poison him. This is just a potion that makes people tell the truth. I got it by chance from a pharmaceutical factory. I'll just try it out in a bit, and it won't cause any problems."

Chris nodded in agreement upon hearing this, completely disbelieving the nonsense about it being obtained by chance. He assumed Andres had bought it from the black market or that it was provided by a special government agency. Soon after, Andres returned to the conference room, and Chris, having found a large plate somewhere, brought out several glasses of water and distributed them to everyone.

When he handed the water to Li Shao, he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It's alright, I believe this is just a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, that's all that matters. Here, have a glass of water!"

Chris handed the spiked water to Li Shao. Li Shao, who had been feeling uneasy, didn't suspect anything when he heard that the other party was so easy to talk to. He took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

Soon, Director Yan arrived with his entourage, followed by a large group of high-ranking police leaders, including Uncle Liu, who entered the conference room. The Chinese diplomats quickly approached and whispered a few words in Director Yan's ear before introducing him to the officials.

"Director Yan, this is Mr. Andres Morley. He is an Earl of Great Britain, a member of the House of Lords, and the owner of a company with assets worth tens of billions of pounds."

"Hello, Mr. Andres! I didn't expect you to be so young and accomplished!" Then he turned around and waited for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to translate.

"Thank you, Director Yan. I didn't expect such a small matter to bother you. I'm so sorry to have made you come so late!"

"Hmm? I didn't expect Mr. Andres to speak such good Chinese. Well then, let's get down to business! We just arrived, could someone tell us old folks what's going to happen tonight?"

The officer on duty quickly stood up and saluted, then recounted the events of the evening. Although he explained what had happened, his words implied that it was a misunderstanding, and he clearly hoped to smooth things over.

"Do Mr. Andres and this Mr. Li have anything to say?"

Chris stepped forward and said, "We have nothing to say! We have the complete video footage of this incident, and everyone can see what happened by watching it." Then the video was played in the meeting room.

The more the police leaders present looked at it, the darker their faces became! What else was there to say? This was just Li Shao using his criminal connections to blackmail that young girl named Yang Linlin with gambling debts. Catherine was indeed acting bravely, but what was shameful was that the young girl named Yang Linlin actually gave false testimony to frame the person who helped her.

Yang Linlin was already in tears from the sudden turn of events. She had only given false testimony because of Li Shao's coercion. Now that she had been proven wrong on the spot, she cried even harder.

But the video didn't end there; it continued recording all the way to the police station. Everyone was shocked. Was this young master Li an idiot? He clearly saw they were recording him, yet he was still so arrogant and domineering? Deputy Director Liu was already cursing his entire family for eighteen generations! "I knew you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to be this stupid! Couldn't you have just shot down their camera first?!"

Li Shao and the other officers were dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? Where did the other side get a camera? We've been talking to him for so long, how come we didn't see it? Are we blind? But one person can be blind, but everyone can't be blind! As he thought about this, Li Shao began to drift into a daze, not saying a word.

Director Yan loudly questioned Young Master Li.

"Mr. Li, what else do you have to say? Do you admit that you tried to force Yang Linlin?"

“I confess that I wanted to use Yang Linlin’s father’s gambling debts to coerce her.”

What about gambling debts?

"We have several underground casinos in Shanghai, and her father frequents them."

Everyone present was shocked. Was this young master Li crazy? How could he say anything?

Deputy Director Liu was also frightened by these words and quickly rebuked them sternly.

"Do you even know what you're saying?! This is no child's play!"

"Liu Desheng, shut up! If you dare interrupt again, you'll be dismissed from your post! Mr. Li, if your family has anything else to confess, please continue!"

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Li Shao confessed everything his family had done, including exposing several of his family's protectors, including Deputy Director Liu.
