Chapter 1239 - Tore Down Their Disguise (1/2)

“Is it a human rights organization? Or is it a lobbyist who sells ‘Western values’?”

“The Supreme Court of Xin announced its latest findings and terminated Okesi’s candidacy in accordance with Xin laws.”

“…”

In less than a week, the event that took a drastic turn.

Okesi, who was originally viewed as the “immigrant’s friend”, was imprisoned. Not only did he lose his candidacy, but he also faced charges from the prosecution, and even dragged MacDonald into the pit with him.

Simply making arrests would offer no benefit other than pouring gasoline on the fire, or rather, it would provide more materials to attack Celestial Trade.

However, unfortunately, the police that received the tip not only arrested the suspects, but they also found five million New Xin Dollar in cash and an illegal contract at the scene of the crime.

All these were captured by reporters behind the law enforcement officers.

With concrete evidence, even the most radical leftists were speechless, not knowing how to turn the tide.

After all, except for a small number of people who have indeed been instructed by foreign organizations, most people were only being used. And now that this event happened, most people with a brain realized this point.

Okesi was not an exception, but Xin State Procuratorate used him to set an example.

At the same time, after Okesi was arrested, Celestial Trade who had been ignoring media accusations began to launch an offensive round of attacks. It leveraged its influence on the web and changed the focal point from James to the politics behind this entire event.

The spearhead was directed right back to the Capitol.

…

In the conference hall of Future Building, the dimly lit room was filled with people.

Every time Future Group held a press conference, no matter the size, or the duration, or the location, it would always be filled with excitement.

This time, of course, was no exception.

Jiang Chen stood at the podium as the president of Future Group and spoke in a solemn and calm tone in front of the media.

“…For the death of James, we would like to express our deepest condolences.”

“He was an outstanding employee. His death was the loss for Future Mining and the entire Future Group. According to our company’s regulations and related labor protection laws, his family will not only receive a large payout from the insurance company, but we will also provide considerable compensation for the family as part of our employee protection regulations.”

“This money can be received by James’s wife in any court in Xin. There is no need to sue to receive the compensation. We will not refuse to pay compensation because of his skin color, nor will we discriminate against him like what many have accused. Similarly, we will not let him get the part that is not his own because of his skin color or public opinion.”

“Any immigrants, regardless of ethnicity or religion, have equal rights in Xin. This is the constitution of Xin and the foundation of our country. However, for anyone that attempts to use the name of the minority to seek privilege for themselves…”

Staring at the lens, Jiang Chen said one word at a time.

“I can tell you with certainty that you are dreaming.”

“In addition, I once again warn those who have ulterior motives. If you think that you can distract us like this, then I will tell you who the real loser will be.”

At the end of the speech, all the lights in the venue lit up, followed by the questions.

The prepared reporters all swarmed up and put their microphones and cameras close to the podium. They tightly formed a half arc in front of Jiang Chen.

“Mr. Jiang Chen, is your last sentence suggesting that this incident was supported by a particular government?”
