Fang Lang slowly walked out of the Royal Opera House following the flow of people. He immediately saw several cars parked on the roadside outside the Opera House. A policeman who looked like he had a high status was standing next to Qi Qingshan, talking to him. What.
But Qi Qingshan just nodded politely and seemed to have no intention of talking to the other party.
Seeing this, Fang Lang still didn't understand what was going on. It seemed that the British police were more efficient than he thought!
What Fang Lang didn't know was that the Chief Inspector of the London Police Department was also scolded from home.
It turned out that just when Fang Lang fell asleep at the Royal Opera House, Chief of Naval Staff Fit Henderson received a report from his subordinates and learned about what had just happened at the entrance of the Royal Opera House.
This made him furious. According to diplomatic etiquette, he should have sent a British representative to accompany Fang Lang throughout his trip in the UK. However, due to the special relationship between the two families, Fang Lang also brought enough guards.
General Henderson did not want Fang Lang to misunderstand that he wanted to monitor his whereabouts, so he did not arrange for anyone to accompany him. But this does not mean that he completely let it go.
So, he arranged a group of special service personnel to follow Fang Lang around the clock. He didn't need to worry about what he did or who he met. He only needed to ensure Fang Lang's safety.
As a result, unexpectedly, only the next day, the guests they invited were discriminated against by a little doorman at the entrance of the Royal Opera House.
Isn't this a slap in the face to the Chief of Naval Staff?
Therefore, Admiral Mr. Henderson did not hesitate to make a call to the home of the London Police Commissioner and expressed his views on the matter in a stern tone.
The British police adopt a decentralized system. Each county has its own police station, and the chiefs of these police stations have very powerful powers. Their higher-level leader is directly the British Home Minister, but this is only in name.
In fact, the British police are only loyal to the Queen of England, so the power of the London Police Commissioner is very powerful. General Henderson did not call the Minister of the Interior, but directly called the Police Commissioner.
Of course, the Chief of Police had to pay enough attention to the attitude of the Chief of Naval Staff, so he made a phone call to the home of the West District Commissioner of the London Police Department.
Next, the Western District Commissioner sent his most suitable and capable officer, Chief Inspector Lugo Perrin, to the scene in person to express the London Police Department's attitude towards this matter to the parties involved.
The middle-aged white policeman that Fang Lang saw now, who looked to be less than forty years old, tall and thin, with a hooked nose, was Chief Inspector Lugo Perrin.
When he saw the only yellow man in a suit and tie walking out of the opera house, he knew that this was the target he was waiting for. Without waiting for Qi Qingshan beside him to react, he walked up quickly.
"Hello, General Fang! Welcome to London. My name is Rugo Perrin! I am a Chief Inspector of the West District Police Station of the London Police Department. The incident that occurred at the entrance of the Royal Opera House today has caused you great discomfort. Great experience, I'm sorry.
Please rest assured that we will definitely deal with the British citizen involved seriously and give you a satisfactory result. "
As soon as Chief Inspector Lugo Perrin opened his mouth, Fang Lang was shocked because the other person spoke not in English, but in Cantonese. Although Fang Lang is not very proficient in Cantonese, he has watched so many Hong Kong movies and listened to so many Cantonese songs in later generations.
Even Meng Daichai roughly understood what the other party meant.
He never expected that the British would arrange for him to have a chief inspector who could speak Cantonese fluently to communicate with him. This showed that the British police department was quite attentive.
Originally, Fang Lang was very annoyed by being discriminated against this time, but he had already taught the other party a severe lesson, and he no longer wanted to dwell on the matter. But now that he saw this British policeman with a hooked nose, Fang Lang became somewhat interested.
Looking up and down at the chief inspector named Lugo Perrin with a smile, Fang Lang said with interest:
"Officer Lugo Perrin speaks Cantonese very well. Has he lived in Hong Kong?"
A British man who could speak Cantonese, Fang Lang's first reaction was that this guy was from Hong Kong.
The facts were indeed as Fang Lang expected. After hearing Fang Lang's question, Lugo Perin also said with a smile:
"Yes, General Fang, I served in the Hong Kong garrison for four years, and then stayed there for two years. It was during this period that I learned Cantonese."
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and became more interested in the police officer in front of him.
"Then why don't you stay in Hong Kong? As far as I know, the police in Hong Kong make a lot of money!"
In fact, it is not only the police in Hong Kong who make money, but also the law enforcement agencies in almost every British colony. Compared with those under the eyes of the big shots in London, those colonies with high mountains and far away places are simply hotbeds of corruption.
Fang Lang's directness was obviously beyond Lugo Perrin's expectations. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer the other party's question. Could it be that he didn't love money? In the end, he could only smile bitterly and said:
"My family are all in the UK. It's impossible for me to leave my family and run to Hong Kong to live alone."
He carefully looked at the British policeman in his prime in front of him. After all, it was the first time he met him and he didn't know much about them. He could only chat briefly.
Although a thought flashed through my mind, it still didn't make sense for a while, so I couldn't say anything more. I smiled, nodded and stretched out my right hand to the other party and said:
"Nice to meet you, Officer Lugo Perrin!"
Seeing that the Brazilian general was finally willing to shake hands with him, Lugo Perrin seemed very happy. He quickly stretched out his right hand and shook it with Fang Lang.
"I am also very happy to meet you, Your Excellency General! I hope this incident will not bring you any bad impression. Please also help me to say a few nice words in front of Your Excellency, the Chief of Naval Staff."
Fang Lang glanced at the police officer strangely and said very calmly:
"This matter is not the responsibility of your London police. There should be no need for your police to apologize to me!"
Hearing this, Officer Lugo Perrin sneered twice and said:
"Yes, yes, General Fang is right, but you were almost attacked in London. This is the responsibility of our London police. Please rest assured that we will definitely deal with the bastard who intends to attack you seriously."
Frowning, Fang Lang heard a different meaning in the other party's words, as if he wanted to downplay the topic of racial discrimination. But Fang Lang just frowned and said no more.
Because he didn't want to expand the impact of this matter.
So, he nodded casually and said:
"Just watch and deal with it! If you need me to cooperate at the police station, please inform me at home."
"No, no, our police station can handle this matter. There is no need for you to go to the police station in person to cooperate."
Officer Lugo Perrin waved his hands repeatedly.
In this regard, Fang Lang did not continue to express his opinion, but nodded politely and walked to the car parked on the roadside. Because, he found that the two people standing at the entrance of the Royal Opera House attracted a lot of people's attention.
Fang Lang didn't want to be the target of being watched, so he chose to get in the car first to avoid the limelight.
Seeing Fang Lang walking quickly, Qi Qingshan opened the car door early. After Fang Lang got in the car, he gently closed the door without waiting for the police officer Lugo Perrin who was following him to approach.
After getting in the car, Fang Lang did not leave immediately, but continued to sit in the car waiting for today's protagonist, Audrey Hepburn, to come out.
This made Lugo Perrin standing aside look a little embarrassed for a moment. Fang Lang saw this and whispered through the car door:
"Qingshan, if you have a chat with Officer Palin, it's best to inquire about this guy's family situation and political leanings, as well as his true attitude towards the Chinese."
This sudden order made Qi Qingshan stunned. He originally thought that he could just dismiss the other party casually, but he didn't expect that he would now have to get to know the other party in depth.
However, he just looked at Fang Lang strangely and nodded seriously.
Then, he forced a smile on his face, walked two steps in front of the other person, smiled, shook hands with the other person, and started chatting.
To be honest, Qi Qingshan's change of attitude was a bit sudden, which made Lugo Perrin a little uncomfortable for a while. How could the guy who had been so indifferent to him just now become so enthusiastic all of a sudden.
But his main task tonight is to establish a good relationship with the other party, control the impact of this matter within a controllable range, and turn possible diplomatic disputes into a simple public security incident.
The other party's indifference to me just now might be because he was not sure of his boss's thoughts and could not express his position easily. Now that he knows his boss's thoughts, he naturally needs to maintain necessary communication with himself.
Officer Lugo Perrin, who wanted to understand this, looked at Qi Qingshan and his eyes became a little more friendly. We are all workers, why should we embarrass each other? Therefore, he also started chatting with the other party with enthusiasm.
When Fang Lang saw this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With his current status, some things were no longer suitable for him to do in person, and it was much more suitable to leave them to Qi Qingshan.
Less than ten minutes after sitting in the car, Fang Lang saw Audrey Hepburn quickly walking out of the Royal Opera House and looking around at the door. Fang Lang smiled slightly when he saw this and picked up the flowers he had prepared earlier. Push the door and get out of the car.
Audrey Hepburn had already noticed this vehicle that was obviously guarded by bodyguards. When she saw Fang Lang getting out of the car with flowers in his hands, she cheered and ran towards Fang Lang quickly.
The two gave a big hug at the entrance of the theater. Officer Lugo Perrin, who was standing not far away, finally knew why the Brazilian naval general came to the Royal Opera House to watch the ballet.
After seeing the two of them get into the car and leave affectionately, he very wisely ended the conversation with Qi Qingshan and prepared to go back to resume his life.
Audrey Hepburn in the car was indeed very concerned about Fang Lang's experience of watching the drama, and kept asking him how he was doing. Fortunately, Fang Lang was prepared and expressed his opinion on this ballet.
At the same time, he naturally praised Audrey Hepburn's performance. This skill of making girls happy is not something that Fang Lang always has at his fingertips.
Early the next morning, Fang Lang picked up a few newspapers to read while eating breakfast at the dining table. He didn't want to bring himself into the British public's view, so he was a little worried that what happened last night would be reported by British newspapers.
After flipping through several newspapers and seeing no reports about yesterday's events, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, my eyes were deeply attracted by the content in the newspaper, and I understood why no one paid attention to my matter. It turns out that British newspapers are now focusing on India and Pakistan, which are about to become independent.
It was only from reading in these newspapers that I learned that the British Viscount Mountbatten had issued a formal statement on June 4 this year, agreeing to divide British India into India and Pakistan on August 15, 1947. Two-state approach to achieve India's independence.
This news is sad for all British people. After all, this is the crown jewel of the British Empire, and now it is leaving them. How can it not make all the British shed tears.
It's a pity that Fang Lang can't feel the same as the British, but instead takes pleasure in others' misfortune. At the same time, I couldn't help but start to think about whether there were any opportunities to make a fortune here.
You must know that although India is very poor, they are just ordinary people at the bottom, and the emperors of various tribes are extremely rich.
For a moment, Fang Lang looked at the newspaper in his hand and began to think deeply. Is there anything in India worth taking action on? The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the gold in those temples in India.
But now India is in chaos. The local religious conflicts are serious and bloodshed occurs every day. Even if the treasure is found at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to bring him out smoothly. This can only be done slowly.
Just when Fang Lang was thinking seriously, Audrey Hepburn walked out of Fang Lang's room with some embarrassment. She opened the door and didn't forget to check if there was anyone outside. After making sure that there was no one else, she relaxed softly. Take a breath.
He came to Fang Lang with brisk steps and sat directly in Fang Lang's arms. This action also directly awakened Fang Lang from his meditation. Fang Lang laughed when he saw the girl sitting in his arms asking for a kiss from him.
After kissing the other person tenderly, he pinched the other person's face with a hint of doting and said:
"Are you awake?"
Audrey Hepburn nestled in Fang Lang's arms as docile as a kitten and hummed softly. Yes, this is the dependence a girl shows on you after she truly dedicates herself to you.
"Aren't you going to class today?"
"I'm going! But I'm a little reluctant to leave you."
........
After the two felt tender for a while, Fang Lang personally sent the girl back to school.
On the way back, Fang Lang looked at Qi Qingshan in the passenger seat and asked:
"You arranged for someone to investigate the situation of the police officer last night?"
This question has been lingering in Qi Qingshan's mind since last night, and he was a little confused. Now that he heard Fang Lang once again asked to investigate the background of the London policeman, he took the opportunity to raise his doubts.
"Boss, I don't understand why you want to investigate the background of this policeman? I don't seem to find anything special about him!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"His experience is very interesting. If we can become friends with him, let's see if we can get him to serve in the Hong Kong Police Force. We need a friend in Hong Kong."
Now Qi Qingshan was even more confused about what Fang Lang meant, why he deliberately made friends with a chief inspector of the London Police Department and asked him to work in Hong Kong.
You must know that in the eyes of the British, the status of the colonial police station cannot be compared with the status of the London police station.
Only those with limited brains would be willing to be sent from the center of the empire to serve in a remote colonial police station. Isn't this a proper assignment?
In Qi Qingshan's mind, police officer Lugo Perrin would make this choice only if he was stupid.
