Around nine o'clock in the evening, in the conference room on the top floor of the hotel.
A joint investigation team composed of the French Ministry of the Interior and the Presidential Palace, as well as the Paris city government and police, are asking Xiao Ran and others about the situation.
On Xiao Ran's side, in addition to himself, Elaine, David, Marvin and Mike, as well as two senior French lawyers employed by him.
Then there are the U.S. Deputy Ambassador to France and the Cultural Counselor, who serve as third-party representatives to observe and supervise.
Looking at the US Deputy Ambassador to France and others sitting across the conference table, as well as several senior lawyers who were eyeing him, everyone in the French investigation team felt a headache.
But they have to launch an investigation, or at least make a show of it, otherwise they won't be able to explain it to the media and the public.
In this case, they can only cautiously ask:
"Mr. Sean, can you tell me how you discovered that the gangsters were setting up an ambush on Saint-Michel Avenue and how you quickly responded?"
"Under what circumstances? You launched a counterattack. Who of the two parties fired first?"
An aide to the French president asked through gritted teeth.
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, and then nodded slightly towards David.
The next moment, David said with a serious expression:
"I am the lawyer representing Mr. Sean and his security personnel. No matter what questions you raise, I will answer them."
"We were the victims and the ambushed party from the beginning to the end of the ambush on Boulevard Saint-Michel this afternoon."
"Before the exchange of fire, our security team discovered several small drones of unknown origin that seemed to be carrying bombs, so they issued a warning."
"The facts are very clear. Those small drones did carry powerful bombs and tried to attack our convoy. Fortunately, they failed."
"Just when our security team members tried to stop those small drones, they were suddenly attacked by armed bandits and caused certain casualties."
"In the face of the attack, Mr. Sean and many security team members were forced to fight back for legitimate reasons of self-defense. This is proved by video data..."
Listening to David's words, the French people opposite were speechless and could not utter a word to refute.
As David said, the truth is all too clear.
There is no doubt that Xiao Ran and the others are 100% victims and the party being ambushed.
But who has ever seen a victim of an ambush kill a large number of gangsters who ambushed him, leaving no one alive?
Not only that, during the exchange of fire at the scene and the subsequent pursuit.
The losses Xiao Ran and the others caused to Paris were no less than those of the armed bandits.
Such a result made both the French government and the top brass of the Paris city government furious.
In anger, they wanted to punish Xiao Ran and the others severely, and vented their anger.
It turns out that this is simply like a dog biting a hedgehog but unable to bite it!
Next, the French representative asked a series of questions, but David responded to them all.
During this process, two senior French lawyers were not idle either.
They continued to show relevant evidence, video materials, and cited various French legal provisions to refute the French representatives on the other side.
Facing such a tight defense, the French representatives became even more depressed and couldn't find any chance at all.
The investigation lasted only more than half an hour and ended quickly.
No need to ask about the result!
Xiao Ran and Marvin firmly grasped the reason of self-defense and abdicated all responsibilities.
During the exchange of fire and pursuit this afternoon, although they caused huge losses to Paris, they did not need to bear any responsibility, and naturally they did not need to pay compensation.
As a result, only major insurance companies can come forward to compensate.
After the investigation, several French representatives left the meeting room angrily.
Xiao Ran and the others stayed in the conference room and communicated with the US Deputy Ambassador to France and others before returning to the presidential suite.
After returning to the suite, he discussed with David and the others how to deal with what might happen next.
After chatting for a while, David's cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and glanced at Laixian, then whispered:
"It was the call from that guy Turner. Without even thinking about it, those guys should have accepted this bounty mission."
"Sean, don't make any noise. I'm here to talk to this guy. I want to prevent you from being caught by these guys as much as possible."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, naturally understanding what David meant.
These scumbags in the CIA must not be completely trusted. You can use these scumbags to do things, but you must always be on guard against being bitten by these scumbags.
David is a senior American lawyer, and his identity naturally has a certain self-protective effect, but Xiao Ran and the others do not.
Because of this, communication with Turner and the others was basically done through David.
His status as an attorney alone prevented Turner and others from recording the phone calls.
Even if it is recorded, not only can it not be used as evidence, but it is illegal.
The next moment, David opened the phone and clicked on the speakerphone to answer the call.
"Good evening, Turner. I'm David. It's great to hear from you."
As soon as the words fell, that guy Turner's voice came immediately.
"Good evening, David, is Sean with you? You can tell him that we have decided to accept this bounty mission."
David looked at Xiao Ran, then smiled and said:
"Sean is busy with other things. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I will convey it to you."
After a pause, Turner continued:
"I have gathered enough people, each of whom is an elite agent. We have formed a team and will fly to Warsaw, Poland tomorrow to launch investigations."
"But I need your technical support. It's best to share the information you have now with us, so that we can dig out the mastermind faster."
David nodded and then continued:
"Okay, Turner, I will personally send you the relevant data and information. With that information, I believe it will not be difficult for you to find out who is behind the scenes."
Next, they chatted about the details of cooperation before ending the call.
During this process, David did not mention a word about killing them all, but only said that he wanted to investigate the person behind the ambush.
Turner on the other end of the phone knew very well, why was Xiao Ran willing to offer a reward of US$20 million?
The result he wants is to kill them all and eliminate all safety hazards.
Xiao Ran, who was sitting on the boss's chair, said nothing from beginning to end, just listening.
After the call, they discussed offering a reward to track down the person behind the incident.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran called Anthony in again, ready to understand the situation in the outside world.
After entering the study and sitting down, Anthony immediately began to introduce.
"Sean, the French special police outside have launched a large-scale investigation, carefully checking every suspicious person around the hotel, and launching an expulsion operation."
"Due to the tragic fire that occurred during the day, most of the informants around the hotel who were watching us withdrew in the evening. Those guys were obviously scared."
"Those who were not evacuated were also driven away by the Paris police in the evening. There are basically no influencers from all parties near this five-star hotel. This is the cleanest time we have been to Paris."
Xiao Ran and David looked at each other and smiled, and then said:
"Obviously, the French government and police are afraid that the bloody killings like this afternoon will happen again, so they have taken preventive measures."
"We also have to move faster. The French dislike us more and more. We cannot wait until they issue an expulsion order and drive us out of Paris."
Before the words were spoken, everyone was laughing.
Later, Anthony reported some other situations.
"Shortly after the fire ended this afternoon, all members of the Lu Qinzhai family who gathered to protest outside the Red Building took the initiative to leave."
"Those guys were originally going to sue you and try to take back the ownership of the Red Building, but in the evening they suddenly changed their minds and decided not to sue you anymore."
"Haha, it's obvious that those prodigal sons are afraid, but they are still wise."
Xiao Ran sneered disdainfully.
