PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM III

Chapter 413: Treatment

"Oh, my God. It's the Minister of Defense, Mr. Arnold!"

"And the FBI Director, Robert, and the Secretary of State, Mr. Pompeo!"

"Chief of the White House office, Mr. Kelly, and the CIA Director, Ms. Haspel... They're all here as well."

"Wow! There're so many important officials here. Is the Kennedy family so influential?"

"Lyon is badly injured and it must have infuriated the Kennedy family. There're so many important government officials getting involved in the case. It looks like this Hua national is in serious trouble and they will destroy him even before the court can pass sentence."

The crowd that had gathered outside the gate of the Washington University had yet to disperse. They could barely believe their eyes when they saw these high-profile government officials getting out of their black limousines. That was the first time they had seen so many high-ranking officials appearing in public together. The onlookers suddenly realized the power that the Kennedy family wielded. They could summon so many top government officials to seek justice for Lyon.

As a teacher who had traveled regularly between the Mei nation and the Hua nation, Zhong Meili recognized these top Mei government officials. The various media outlets and magazines often featured them. These were powerful people who were high in the social order, and Zhong Meili felt they were in no position to say a thing. She unconsciously pulled her students closer toward the crowd.

"Has this incident gone all the way to the Mei government officials?"

Zhu Xiaofei struggled to swallow his saliva as all these officials had a stern and intimidating presence. He stared at them nervously and was very concerned for Xiao Luo.

Ding Kai looked at the group and slowly said, "It looks like that's what is happening here. I would not have imagined that the Kennedy family was that influential in the Mei nation."

The appearance of the officials at the scene had also shaken up both Wang Ling and Huang Ruoran.

"Stop saying that. None of us have what it takes to help Xiao Luo. Right now, we ought to cut off all ties with him. If they ask, we say that we do not know who he is. Do you all understand?" whispered Zhong Meili softly.

"Teacher, won't we be treacherous if we do that?" Zhu Xiaofei said in a displeased tone.

"Now is not the time to worry if we are treacherous or not. Even if we admit we know Xiao Luo, we cannot help him. Instead, we will cause additional trouble for ourselves."

Zhong Meili was thinking for the group. "This is a crime that Xiao Luo has committed. No one else can be responsible for it. If you do not want to be detained in the Mei nation, then do as I say," she said.

"Let us listen to Teacher Zhong. What Hero Luo has done this time is just unacceptable. Besides, we are just ordinary students and we can't do much for him even if we speak out. We might get implicated in the incident instead, and there's a chance they may even arrest us as well," Wang Ling said.

Although the guys were unwilling to accept it, they knew that Wang Ling was speaking the truth. They had no power to help Xiao Luo. Even if they stepped out and fought with all their might, there was nothing they can do except to share the same fate as Xiao Luo.

Compared to them, Xiao Luo was a lot calmer. He had his hands in his trouser pockets. He looked like an employer waiting for his employees to submit progress reports to him.

And, as it turned out, that was precisely the scenario that was playing out. The Defense Minister, Arnold, led the entourage from the Mei federal government. The group hurried toward Xiao Luo to greet him. Arnold was in his well-fitted, custom-tailored military uniform decked with medals as a mark of respect.
