Chapter 382 Reporting [3rd Update]
Liu Jiayao was not interested in Bravo's affairs, and seeing Ge Dongxu smile without saying anything, she didn't pursue the matter further.
The couple, holding hands, grew tired of walking by Mingyue Lake, so Ge Dongxu carried her back to where the car was parked and drove back to Yadu Garden.
Once back at Yadu Garden, the two naturally couldn't avoid a bit of a struggle.
This struggle left Liu Jiayao as exhausted and limp as before.
"Next time, go find your senior Lili!" Before closing her eyes to sleep, Liu Jiayao bit Ge Dongxu hard and said.
Watching Liu Jiayao sweetly fall asleep in his arms, and hearing the words she said echoing in his ears, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself; he hadn't had his fill yet!
Early the next morning, Ge Dongxu prepared breakfast for Liu Jiayao and left her a note before he left Yadu Garden for Jiang Region Jewelry.
Maybe it was because of the teardrop-shaped jade pendant necklace, but Tang Yahui seemed more radiant today than usual.
Having taken the ring from Tang Yahui, Ge Dongxu directly hired a car and headed home, without returning to Yadu Garden.
Because a trip to Myanmar had delayed him by two days, he had to rush back home; Ge Dongxu could not guarantee that his mother wouldn't blow up.
If mother were to blow up, it was no laughing matter; despite all Ge Dongxu's abilities, he would still end up being scolded.
Sitting in the car, Ge Dongxu called Tang Yiyuan and Fan Hong one after another.
To fully heal his teacher Yang Yinhou's leg injury, he needed Jiuyang Lifesaving Soup. However, most of the herbs required for Jiuyang Lifesaving Soup were rare and not easily found; even Yang Yinhou had never heard of Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass. Relying solely on Yang Yinhou's finances and connections might not suffice to gather them promptly. Luckily, Tang Yiyuan was an experienced traditional doctor knowledgeable about medicinal herbs and had extensive connections in the traditional medicine community. Even though Fan Hong was not a traditional doctor, he was the director of the Special Ability Management Bureau, wielded considerable authority, and many sect members and Qimen practitioners were registered under him. It was likely certain sects or individuals might have these rare herbs. If he were to spread the word, the efficiency would be much higher compared to Yang Yinhou's effort.
Although Tang Yiyuan and Fan Hong did not officially share a master-disciple relationship with Ge Dongxu, they practically did—one in medicine and one in cultivation—so when Ge Dongxu asked for their help, they naturally agreed without hesitation.
Ge Dongxu was concerned that the two might not know about Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and Ganlin Xuanyang Grass, so he went out of his way to describe these two herbs to them.
After making these two calls, Ge Dongxu then rested with his eyes closed in the car.
...
"Damn, no way, that foreigner is too outrageous, isn't he?"
"Shit, such trash should be kicked out of our country, banned from ever setting foot here again!"
"..."
As Ge Dongxu was already on the car returning to his hometown, early morning headlines in the Linzhou Morning Post among other newspapers reported last night's incident of Bravo causing havoc at a Western restaurant and by the lake, provoking widespread discussion among citizens.
"Slam!" In the capital, in the office of the Spanish ambassador at the Spanish Embassy, the ambassador forcefully threw a stack of documents onto his desk.
Given that there were not many Spanish citizens and businesses in Huaxia, and given that Bravo was from one of the more powerful Spanish corporations, the ambassador had taken his urgent night call seriously. He immediately liaised via phone with relevant staff in Huaxia Country, urging Huaxia's judicial authorities to handle the matter seriously and ensure justice for Bravo.
Yet, the next day, the ambassador received those unsightly photos, along with testimonies collected last night by the Linzhou Public Security Bureau, including statements from several foreigners.
Moreover, immediately after the incident, journalists from Linzhou city had rushed to the scene for coverage. The French manager of the Western restaurant and the American couple both expressed their outrage during their interviews, which were also reported in the newspapers with their photos and comments.
Thinking about how he had exerted pressure on Huaxia Country last night on behalf of such a disgrace, the Spanish ambassador in Huaxia suddenly felt a burning pain on his face.
This time not only Bravo was completely disgraced, but even Spain's dignity was entirely lost.
After venting his fury in the office, the ambassador immediately asked someone to contact the relevant person in charge at the European Department of Foreign Affairs. He needed to communicate with them promptly to prevent the scandal from spreading further!
If the entire Huaxia Country became aware, even walking out in public would be embarrassing for him as an ambassador.
While the ambassador was negotiating with the officials from Huaxia Country, Liu Jiayao had already gone to work. In her office, she saw the news report and was stunned for quite some time before regaining her composure.
No one knew better than her what Ge Dongxu had done last night.
However, Liu Jiayao could never have imagined that with just a few casual gestures, Mr. Bravo could end up in such a miserable state.
"This guy! Whoever offends him really has bad luck!" After regaining her composure, Liu Jiayao could not help shaking her head and laughing.
Wu Longcai and others, including Director Zheng, knew about the news much earlier than Liu Jiayao. Upon hearing it, they were all shocked!
Being insiders and somewhat aware that Ge Dongxu was a remarkable young man, they connected the dots about this incident and naturally concluded that it definitely had something to do with Ge Dongxu.
Once they reached this conclusion, they were no longer just shocked, but terrified and their skin crawled with horror!
They simply couldn't imagine how Ge Dongxu managed to do this!
"I am a Spanish citizen, you have no right to detain me! I will protest to your government!" Bravo roared angrily in the detention room at the Linzhou City Mingyue Lake District Public Security Bureau.
"Mr. Bravo, you violated our country's public security laws last night. We have the right to detain you for public security reasons, so your protest is useless," said the police officer in the detention center, calmly speaking and feeling as refreshed as drinking iced Qinghe Herbal Tea during the scorching summer.
Damn, finally got to stand up to a foreigner!
"You are slandering me!" Bravo continued to roar.
"Slander? Take a good look at this, will you? You wouldn't fail to recognize this person, right?" the police officer in the detention center said unhurriedly, pulling out a newspaper and pointing to a photo, speaking in somewhat unsmooth English.
As soon as Bravo saw it, he recognized himself and broke out into a cold sweat immediately.
But soon, he started to act shamelessly like last night, yelling, "Someone is framing me! Someone is framing me!"
"Could you tell me who is framing you, and how?" the police officer in the detention center continued to ask in broken English, unruffled.
"It's... it's..." Bravo stammered and couldn't say it.
He wanted to say it was Ge Dongxu who framed him, but even as shameless as he was, he knew he couldn't just make such baseless claims.
He also clearly understood that last night he had lost his mind on his own accord, without anyone forcing him! But how could this have happened?

"You better just stay here quietly!" Seeing that Bravo couldn't speak, the police officer disdainfully curled his lip and then unceremoniously pushed him into the cell and locked it up.
"My god, what kind of day is this, when foreigners are even squatting in jail with us?" Inside the detention cell, some criminals who had been arrested surveyed Bravo, who had just been crammed in, like he was an alien from another planet, making Bravo shake all over in fear.
In Spain, he had often heard about people in prison being picked on for dropping the soap; who knew what kind of behavior the criminals in Huaxia Country's prisons exhibited?
His foreign identity had been very useful outside, but now that he was a prisoner, who would care about him!
