Chen Feng immediately called Larede and told him that the FBI came to him to assist in the investigation. Larede did not say any nonsense and said that he would be over soon, and told him that before he came,
He can refuse to go back with the FBI immediately to assist in the investigation and not answer any questions they ask.
Chen Feng said that after receiving it, he asked the bodyguard to release the door and let the two FBI staff members in.
These two FBI staff members, a man and a woman, both looked to be in their twenties, both white, wearing casual clothes, but with FBI badges on their waists.
After the two entered the living room, they showed their IDs to Chen Feng, and then said in a businesslike manner: "Mr. Chen, we suspect that you are related to the Picboo virus incident. We hope you can come back with us to assist in the investigation."
Chen Feng asked: "Did Jefferson accuse me? I have the right to know."
The man shook his head and said, "Sorry, we were just ordered to ask you to assist in the investigation. We don't know about other things."
The woman said: "I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
Chen Feng spread his hands and said: "I have called my lawyer and he said that I can't go with you until he comes over."
After the two looked at each other, the man said, "Okay. Then just wait until your lawyer arrives before leaving."
The two of them knew very well that the so-called assistance in the investigation this time was just a private order from their supervisor. Because Chen Feng, a Tang Dynasty man, had no suspicion at all, or in other words, judging from the situation currently known to the FBI, Chen Feng was completely innocent.
The people under them knew very well that the supervisor's motive for doing this might involve some personal reasons. Sure enough, Chen Feng's rhetorical question just now let them know that there was indeed something inside.
They have to obey the orders of their supervisors, but within the principles, they also have their own positions. For a Tang Dynasty man like Chen Feng, who is also the boss of a Meijian Entertainment Company, living in such a large villa is not something he can do at will.
of ordinary people.
There is certainly no need for the two of them to offend a rich man like Chen Feng.
Therefore, the two of them treated Chen Feng quite politely and preferentially.
Seeing that they were accommodating, Chen Feng felt much better about them. He immediately invited them to sit down and drink tea.
Miranda next to Chen Feng saw that the attitude of the two FBI people was quite good, and her frightened heart finally relaxed a little.
After Zhao Wenxiu served tea to the two of them, Chen Feng took the initiative and said: "This morning, Picboo's boss Jefferson went to my company to threaten me and wanted me to leave my girlfriend. You may not know,
He is my love rival. He has been stalking my girlfriend for a while now, and my girlfriend is about to call the police. And he even neurotically suspects that I am the inventor of the virus just because we are love rivals.
, isn’t this a case of persecution paranoia?”
The two agents could only smile bitterly. They knew that their supervisor seemed to have a very good relationship with Jefferson.
"In addition, when he left, he threatened me. If I didn't break up with my girlfriend, he would ask the FBI to cause trouble for me. I also laughed at him at the time, is the FBI run by your family? I just didn't expect it.
, you come to me now."
The faces of the two detectives became even more embarrassed. The man coughed dryly and explained: "We are just asking you to assist in the investigation. Don't worry, if you are really innocent, you will definitely be able to leave soon."
Chen Feng shrugged and said: "Of course I know I am innocent, but as it turns out, Jefferson said he could let the FBI make things difficult for me, and then you guys came. So, I don't trust you now."
The two of them felt even more embarrassed after hearing Chen Feng's words.
After a while, the man said: "I think there must be a misunderstanding. When you come to our bureau and investigate the matter clearly, you will understand."
Chen Feng said with a relaxed face: "You, the United States, have always claimed to be a country governed by the rule of law, but my personal experience this time clearly shows that this is not the case. After my lawyer arrives, I will consider asking my lawyer to protest to your General Administration.
Or suggest that the Department of Justice launch an independent investigation to see if some people in the Los Angeles Bureau of the FBI have violated the law for personal gain."
When Chen Feng said this, both of them looked bad. However, as a rich man, Chen Feng did have this right. Although they felt uncomfortable, considering that this matter really had nothing to do with them.
, there is no need for them to conflict with a rich man like Chen Feng or a star of the Tang Dynasty.
If this matter is not handled well, it may cause international disputes. If the supervisor had not given the order this time, they would not have been able to refuse, otherwise they would not have come.
Therefore, the wisest thing for them to do on this matter is to remain silent.
The two FBI agents, who had been partners for many years, could understand each other's meaning just by looking at each other. Therefore, they both fell silent, lowered their heads and began to drink tea.
Chen Feng also stopped in moderation and did not provoke or provoke them excessively. Including their leaders behind the scenes, Chen Feng did not want to try to fight to the death. Chen Feng just did not want to be manipulated at will by the law enforcement agencies of the United States.
The next time was spent in silent waiting, and Lared arrived more than ten minutes later. As soon as he arrived, he protested loudly and forcefully to the two FBI agents: "You must understand that my client is
A person from the Tang Dynasty, and a well-known figure in the Tang Dynasty. You summoned him without any evidence. This is not allowed in terms of procedures. I need an explanation from you."
As a well-known lawyer in Los Angeles, Lared is registered with various law enforcement agencies. These two agents have also heard about him. This time, they were a little timid when they faced each other head-on. In the end, they
They are just ordinary employees of the FBI. They may have privileges when facing ordinary people, but when facing celebrities and wealthy people like Chen Feng, who can still afford a famous hyena-like lawyer like Lared, they really don't dare.
provoke.
The male detective was a little overwhelmed and had to say: "I'm sorry. We were just following orders. Everything will be clear after Mr. Chen Feng went to our bureau. They just asked him to assist in the investigation and had no intention of forcibly summoning him.
"
Chen Feng spoke at the right time and said: "Since they said they are assisting in the investigation, I will go over and have a look. I have been in the United States for so long and I have never been to the FBI bureau. It might as well go and see it."
After saying this, before the two FBI agents were happy, Chen Feng said to Zhao Wenxiu in English: "If I haven't come back in three hours, you will call the embassy and ask me to be arrested."
Tell them about the unreasonable detention by the FBI."
Although Zhao Wenxiu was a little nervous, she still nodded vigorously: "Okay, cousin."
The two detectives immediately felt bad because when they came over, their supervisor asked Chen Feng to be detained for twenty-four hours.
But at the moment, they can only take Chen Feng back for business first. They will try not to get involved in future matters, lest their supervisor will blame them in the end. They are not newbies in the workplace, so let their subordinates do it.
They absolutely don't want to happen to them if their boss takes the blame.
"You heard me. I hope that after you take my client back for questioning, you will let him go immediately, otherwise I will complain to the General Administration and the Ministry of Justice against you. If necessary, I will accept the client's entrustment and directly file a complaint with the court.
File a complaint against you."
Lared was not polite to them. There was a natural conflict between lawyers and law enforcement agencies like them. Moreover, Lared certainly didn’t care much about these two little guys. Even when facing their supervisor, Lared
De also has the confidence to fight him head-on. This is the confidence of being a lawyer in the United States. Especially well-known lawyers are very respected in society.
In the history of the United States, there have been many presidents who were lawyers, which illustrates the status of lawyers in this country.
The two agents did not confront Larede tit for tat. They ignored his warning and just led Chen Feng and his party out of the villa.
Miranda insisted on going with Chen Feng, so Chen Feng took her with him. Lared came with an assistant this time, and the assistant drove the car. He had not entered the villa before.
The two federal agents did not ask Chen Feng to ride in their car, nor did they put handcuffs on Chen Feng. Chen Feng took Miranda in his own bulletproof car.
More than half an hour later, the group arrived at the Los Angeles branch of the FBI.
This is a public FBI office, a building with more than ten floors. The lobby on the first floor has strict access control security measures. Chen Feng and his party, in the end, Chen Feng only took Miranda and Lared upstairs.
In a transparent glass reception room on the third floor, Chen Feng and the other three drank coffee from the FBI. Instant coffee had a mediocre taste and was very sweet. Chen Feng only took one sip and did not want to take another sip.
The three of them waited for almost half an hour before someone came to "receive" them. He was a white black man in his thirties, a whiter kind of black man, with white blood.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen, we asked you to come over to help investigate the Picboo virus incident. It's just a routine matter, because Picboo's boss Jefferson accused you of being the culprit behind this virus incident. Thank you very much for your cooperation."
Before Chen Feng spoke, Lared said rudely: "So do you have evidence to prove his accusation against Mr. Chen?"
The black man shook his head honestly and said: "We have no evidence yet, so we are just cooperating with the investigation and inquiry on a routine basis. As long as Mr. Chen cooperates with me to make a record, he can go back."
Lared looked at Chen Feng and said, "Chen, you have the right to refuse their request."
Chen Feng shrugged nonchalantly and said: "You are here, so I will cooperate. The purpose of us people in the Tang Dynasty is to facilitate others and ourselves. I hope that after I cooperate with your FBI investigation this time, you will not harass me again."
At least until I have sufficient evidence. Otherwise, I will really ask my lawyer to prosecute you."
The black man shrugged and said, "Of course, this is your right. So, let's get started now."
Then the black man and Chen Feng had a question and answer session, with Lared supervising the whole process. As long as some sensitive issues were involved, he would stop him and ask Chen Feng to refuse to answer, which Chen Feng did. Therefore, the other party's transcript is true.
There is no useful information and no reference value at all.
In this way, it took almost ten minutes to complete the transcript. The black agent put away the folder, stood up, and reached out to shake Chen Feng's hand.
"Thank you for your cooperation. You can go back now."
"Then I'll take my leave." Chen Feng also maintained his minimum demeanor, "I hope we won't meet again in the future."
The black detective smiled and said, "I hope so."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to ask Chen Feng to go out.
Of course, Chen Feng had no intention of staying here for a long time. He quickly stood up and left with Miranda and Lared.
After leaving the federal building, Miranda, who had been sullen just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took Chen Feng's arm and asked softly: "Are you okay now?"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Of course it's okay. The other party has no evidence at all. Besides, I am innocent to begin with."
After saying that, he winked at Miranda, then turned to Lared and said: "Red, I'm bothering you again this time."
Lared grinned and said: "As a lawyer, I like clients like you to trouble me the most."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Lared came over and patted Chen Feng's arm and said: "Don't worry. As long as the other party has no evidence in this matter, they can't do anything to you. In addition, if you want to sue Jefferson, I will also
I can help you."
Chen Feng said with some emotion: "What should I sue him for? Defamation?"
Lared nodded and said: "Libel is the first one; the second is obstruction of justice. The latter one is very provocative and can make the matter bigger and involve the Peak family behind Jefferson. Their family has a large family in Los Angeles.
You have money and power, and Jefferson's uncle is also a state legislator. This time, I think it was Jefferson's uncle who exerted influence on the FBI, which made the FBI summon you without any evidence or suspicion. This is
It is not in compliance with work procedures. It may be that a certain supervisor in the FBI is doing favoritism because of the good relationship with the Peak family. If we dig deeper, it will be a scandal for the FBI and the Peak family. What do you think?"
Chen Feng didn't expect Lared to be so courageous. He actually encouraged him to attack the FBI and the Peak family. The Peak family was just that, the FBI was not easy to mess with. Even if Chen Feng had the system in place, he didn't want to be so stubborn.
To fight.
"Red, aren't you afraid? This is the FBI."
Lared grinned again, and his two rows of white teeth shone brightly: "Chen, this is Meijian, and money is paramount! Everything is based on money and law. You are not short of money, but you still lack a certain reputation in Meijian. You
You can definitely get featured in major news media in the United States through this lawsuit. And the same is true for me. In addition, as long as you do it well, you can get a large amount of compensation. As long as you make the matter bigger, the FBI will not dare to deal with it.
Whatever we do, even in turn, they still want to protect our safety."
