Chapter 1049: Your Nation Is Done For

“Shengnan, I need you to help me with something.” Cai Songyin called Cai Shengnan over and showed her the indictment from a certain country. “Translate this into Chinese for me, then ask your father what we should do about it.”

Cai Songyin’s older brother, who was Cai Shengnan’s father, Cai Sumin, had recently returned to the Hua Xia Empire from abroad. He was a legendary character in the foreign legal realm years ago. He had once helped a foreign president win an impeachment case presided over by a parliamentary grand jury. However, because he was a naturalized American citizen and no longer a Hua Xia citizen, Cai Shengnan was unable to directly show him the indictment or seek advice from him. On the other hand, Cai Shengnan was still a Hua Xia national, so there was no issue with her helping to ask a question as legal counsel.

Cai Shengnan accepted it and took a look to her utter shock. “Is this a real indictment from a certain country?! The court is filing a case like that?”

Cai Songyin smiled suggestively. “Not only that, the case has already been filed.”

Cai Shengnan was speechless.

“Start by helping me translate this and remember to do it according to legal terms customary to Hua Xia people. Then go ask your father for his opinion.” Cai Songyin reminded Cai Shengnan about several important points before allowing her to leave.

Cai Shengnan immediately brought the photocopied legal document and indictment back to her own villa. Their family villa was located on the mountainside near the Xiaotang Mountain Hot Springs, so it was rather far away from the Imperial Capital.

Cai Shengnan’s father, Cai Sumin, returned to the country in order to help his sister and brother-in-law, but he couldn’t allow others to notice he was helping them. As a result, he wanted to stay discreet by living far away and only keeping in contact with his daughter.

Since he had returned to the Hua Xia Empire, he had only had one reunion dinner with the entire Cai family at the Cais’ siheyuan family home. With so many Cai family members accompanying him, he was finally able to see his younger sister, Cai Songyin, and his niece, Tan Guiren. As for Tan Dongbang, Cai Songyin was too embarrassed to bring him back to her house.

The Cais were a clan with a hundred years of history and had once strongly sponsored the founding fathers of the Hua Xia Empire. As a result, the current senior officials still had much respect for their family. They would always lend a helping hand if the situation allowed.

So when Tan Guiren ran into trouble in New York, Hong Kangquan urged Cai Songyin to explicitly request that Huo Shaoheng go rescue her in the United States. Many of the senior officials helped persuade or applied pressure.

Huo Shaoheng knew he was unable to reject the request, so he went along with it and also completed Gu Nianzhi’s background check along with their marriage request. However, the senior officials never thought that Tang Dongbang would turn out to be such a ridiculous person. There were indeed senior officials who fooled around with women, but there was definitely no one else who ended up the male lead in a short video because of the fooling around.

Due to Tan Dongbang causing this incident, none of the senior officials spoke up for him again. Nobody was a fool, and the ones who rose to the top were all shrewd people. Anyone who paled even slightly in comparison, such as Tan Dongbang, would be immediately pulled out. Additionally, he didn’t even know who had actually tripped him up.

However, Cai Songyin still used the Cais’ social connections, her own position in the media world, and her good luck that shocked even herself to finally allow Tan Dongbang to become prime minister. Although it was for a rather short period of time, he was still someone who was once prime minister, and he hadn’t left office due to impeachment.

Cai Sumin returned to the Hua Xia Empire this time because he saw that his younger sister was truly so pitiful. His brother-in-law was too ridiculous and made it so they couldn’t even utilize their social connections, so he finally agreed to come back and help her frantically turn the tide.

Eyeing the copy of the indictment that Cai Shengnan was holding, as well as the subpoena from the United States, Cai Sumin was momentarily speechless. “What are these foreigners trying to do nowadays? They really think they’re little princesses, so the entire world has to coddle them and play a game of political correctness with them?!”

Cai Sumin pushed his glasses up. “Just look at this minister. His grades were so bad during law school that he almost couldn’t graduate! Even he wants to play with the law like it’s a game of politics?”

It wasn’t impossible to play the law like a game of politics, but the person wanting to do so must foremost be very well versed in the law, as well as politics. They couldn’t play skillfully if they were only adept in one aspect of the game.

This minister was obviously adequate at gauging politics and playing it like a game, but he was grabbing blindly when it came to the realm of law. That was why he created such a thing that the entire world would interpret as a pot calling the kettle black.

Cai Shengnan was very disappointed to hear that. “Oh? Does that mean we can’t do anything with it?” According to Cai Sumin’s perspective, such a silly thing only deserved to be read once and then ignored.

Actually, Gu Nianzhi saw it the same way—or perhaps normal lawyers would see it that way. However, lawyers who wanted to stir up trouble were an exception. For example, Cai Shengnan. Just like Cai Songyin, she believed there was an opportunity.

“What do you mean?” Cai Sumin glanced at her. “Or is this your Auntie’s idea?”

Cai Shengnan smiled quietly. Cai Sumin understood now and mused, “Leave this here. I’ll give it some more thought.” Cai Sumin didn’t wrack his brain but decided to call a few people abroad. He had a vast network in the foreign legal realm, so he asked several people about a foreign country suing Hua Xia Imperial soldiers for initiating a cyber war.

As Cai Sumin read the mistake-ridden indictment that caused others to feel secondhand embarrassment, he kept thinking there was something amiss. Aside from everything else, although the government of a certain country had been downgraded in terms of class and ability due to political correctness, there were still world class elites in the United States.

These elites congregated in several departments that were not affected by political correctness. For example, the State Administration of Taxation and the financial giants on Wall Street, as well as the CIA. The foreign media dared to even poke fun at the president, but not a single media entity dared to mock the CIA. This was an unspoken mutual understanding within the foreign media. And with Cai Sumin’s understanding of the foreign government, he was willing to suspend his own legal license in a wager if this foreign indictment didn’t receive the CIA’s support.

So why would the elites in the CIA tolerate such nonsense to be filed in the court and sent to the Hua Xia senior officials? As expected, Cai Sumin found some clues after making a round of calls.

...

During breakfast the next day, Cai Sumin and Cai Shengnan sat in the bright, open, American-style kitchen. Facing the lush green spring scenery of Xiaotang Mountain, Cai Sumin poured maple syrup on his pancakes as he personally gave instructions. Cai Sumin passed the translated legal document to her. “Take a look and correct any typos.”

Cai Shengnan glanced over it and was immediately impressed. The cleverly translated document completely tuned up the foreign country’s awkward position and unprofessional legal suggestions. It could be said that if the United States used Cai Sumin’s indictment to submit to court for filing, it would be much more professional and reasonable than the original text.

In Cai Sumin’s Chinese translated version, he had completely edited the United States’ rigid allegations. Although it was the same 31 charges, he emphasized that the United States had no intention of opposing the Hua Xia Imperial government. They would continue to solve the issue from a peaceful position, so resorting to law was an attempt to attract the Hua Xia Empire’s attention.

It could be said that the indictment was very in line with the reading habits of the Hua Xia Empire. From senior officials to the common folk, all the Hua Xia people had an extraordinary temperament of accepting gentleness and rejecting harshness.

Cai Shengnan cradled it like a treasure and took the indictment translated and polished by her father to the residence of the prime minister to give it to Cai Songyin. “Auntie, this was translated by my father himself. Have a look. Can you work with it?” Cai Shengnan took out her phone and found American news about the incident. “You see? Can we work with this and garner publicity.”

Cai Songyin was ecstatic to see that and couldn’t help but hug Cai Shengnan. “Thank you, Shengnan! Thank your father on my behalf! I always knew my brother was the best!”

Cai Songyin took the translated indictment and went to Tan Dongbang’s Office of the Prime Minister. They didn’t have much time left there now, so they were just living there for as long as they could.

Tan Dongbang was extremely reluctant to leave. He sat in his office, looking around as he told himself that he would do anything as long as he could continue sitting there, even if it meant selling his soul to the devil.

...

Almost overnight, all the Hua Xia major media headlines were publishing news of the United States suing Hua Xia Imperial soldiers. From the news angle that commanded attention to the value of perspective of the entire incident, there were a lot of opportunities. The media not only published a summary of the original English indictment but also a carefully translated Chinese indictment as reference. Compared to the harshness of the original English version, the carefully translated Chinese indictment was as fluid as an angel.

Corresponding to this was also a sudden large-scale reposting in the foreign media of major headlines regarding this incident. There was more foreign news concerning this incident than contents of the indictment, so it could be considered a comment on this strange indictment.

It turned out that the Americans were so aggressive in prosecuting these 27 soldiers because the hacker “Pink Piggy” had breached a certain important secret foreign laboratory a few days ago.

The Americans claimed that this “Pink Piggy” used the 27 soldiers as a cover that evening to launch a cyber attack against their country without regard for national morality. This caused huge losses for them. In that regard, the “Pink Piggy” was the main offender and the 27 soldiers were accomplices.

At the same time, the first nation to be hit hard by the “Pink Piggy,” spoke up. The prime minister of this nation suddenly announced she would be visiting the Hua Xia Empire at this time. Major General Reinitz of the Federal Intelligence Service would also be visiting the Hua Xia Empire at the same time for the purpose of conducting important negotiations regarding the “Pink Piggy’s” devastating blow to their Federal Intelligence Service.

The two countries quickly revealed their bottom line: they were willing to drop charges against the Hua Xia soldiers, but the Hua Xia Empire must hand over the “Pink Piggy.” They requested the extradition of the “Pink Piggy” in order to go abroad for trial.

As soon as that country made this announcement, domestic public influencers created a new climax of excitement. They bitterly scolded the “Pink Piggy” for disregarding international laws, damaging international relations for the sake of personal gain, causing losses to the interests of other nations, and not being in line with the noble spirit of their country.

They all expressed that if this went on further, “your nation is done for.” In the name of the people, they strongly demanded that the nation hand over the “Pink Piggy” to the foreign countries in order to quell the anger of powerful nations.
