Chapter 522 Breach of Contract (This Chapter Is for General Knowledge)

525. Breach of contract (this chapter is for popular science)

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Jie brought more than 20 school members to the airport in Southeast Asia. When he was about to pick up his luggage and go to the hotel for rehearsal, he was stopped by people at the airport.

"Excuse me, madam, please go this way." The staff responsible for checking the luggage looked at the images scanned on the CT machine, took out the headset and muttered a few words, and then Zhu Jie and his party were taken to a large room.

Several female staff members first showed them their IDs and then said, "Sorry, madam, we found some prohibited items during the scan. Please cooperate."

"How is that possible?" Zhu Jie said with a frown.

The female staff member said politely: "Can you open the box so we can check it?"

"Of course it's no problem. Can you hurry up? We're in a hurry." Zhu Jie took the initiative to open her suitcase in order to prove her innocence.

Suddenly Zhu Jie's expression changed. She saw that the staff found a plastic bag from her suitcase, which contained stacks of beautiful knives.

U.S. knives of different amounts were also found in the suitcases of other personnel. The staff stacked all the U.S. knives together and counted them, not too many, not too many, for a total of 500,000 U.S. dollars.

"These are not ours." Zhu Jie became anxious.

The staff member stretched out his hands and said, "Sorry, we need your cooperation with the investigation."

"We really don't know what happened to the money." Zhu Jie looked confused. She didn't even know when the money went into her suitcase.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't leave until things are checked here." The leading female staff member reassured.

But then law enforcement officers were called to take Zhu Jie and his party away from here, and a detention center was arranged for them to stay temporarily for investigation.

"When can we leave?" Zhu Jie asked anxiously.

A leading female law enforcement officer glanced at them and said, "We are contacting the airport to retrieve the video. If it can be proven that it is not yours, we will notify you here."

"Wait, I'm sorry, we have a performance tomorrow. This is our performance contract. Can we apply for bail first?" Zhu Jie said quickly when she saw the other party was about to leave.

After hearing what she said, the other party shook his head and said, "Sorry, in order to crack down on smuggling and money laundering organizations recently, all suspicious persons need to wait for the investigation to be completed before they can be released. This is also to prevent leaks."

At this time, Zhu Jie was running around anxiously, and the others were looking at their "principal" in astonishment. They never dreamed that going abroad to perform, how come it has become money laundering now?

The key is that they have a performance at 10 o'clock tomorrow. If they are delayed, they will need to compensate 88.88 million in "feng shui fees", which is not a small amount of money.

So Zhu Jie asked to speak to her lawyer. Fortunately, the law enforcement officers in Southeast Asia were easier to talk to and directly helped Zhu Jie contact the other party's lawyer.

"What? There are funds of unknown origin in your suitcase? Are you detained on suspicion of money laundering?" After hearing Zhu Jie's words, Lawyer Ma felt like scolding her.

Zhu Jie said anxiously in front of the female law enforcer: "Yes, Lawyer Ma, what should we do? We have a performance tomorrow."

"Can you give the phone number to the other party and I will talk to them?" Lawyer Ma thought for a while and said.

"Okay, hello, my lawyer wants to talk to you." Zhu Jie picked up the phone and handed it to the female leader who could speak Chinese.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of Southeast Asia Detention Center No. 1, Maya."

Lawyer Ma carefully probed: "Excuse me, why can't my client be released on bail? They have an important performance tomorrow. Can we negotiate this?"

"Sorry, the amount of money involved is relatively large, so for safety reasons we need to detain them for 24 hours to avoid leaking information. Of course, we will release them after 24 hours after the airport's investigation is completed." Maya answered openly.

From Maya's point of view, it was very normal for her to be detained for 24 hours to find out the whole story.

"The thing is like this. My client needs to attend a very important performance tomorrow. Boss Cai Chenggong, you know, right? He is going to perform for his newly opened hotel. Do you think you can be accommodating?" Lawyer Ma thought for a moment. Still decided to plead for Zhu Jie and the others.

"Sorry, no one is allowed to contact the outside world for less than 24 hours. You can explain to the organizer afterwards." Maya refused without thinking.

"Can't you really be accommodating?" Lawyer Ma said with a guilty conscience.

Maya: "Sorry, I can't. Do you have anything else to ask? I'll give up without you."

"Dudududu"

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the other end of the phone, Lawyer Ma was helpless. At the same time, he was speechless at the "back-up" from Zhu Jie and others.

"Let you be careless and not take care of your luggage when you go to a place like that."

After all, Lawyer Ma went to do his own business after complaining. Just kidding, what Zhu Jie gave her was a "consulting fee" and she didn't hire herself as her consultant. She could do as many things as she wanted.

Anyway, I have fought for her, and there is nothing wrong with what Southeast Asia is doing. They are just temporarily detaining you for 24 hours, and they will release you after the surveillance team investigates.

Zhu Jie saw that the lawyer Ma she had "invited" hung up after asking a few perfunctory questions. She was so angry that she almost cursed him, but she thought that she had only invited lawyer Ma to act as a "consultant" temporarily and had never paid him "consultant fees".

So it was natural that he didn't care about her affairs. After all, everyone is so busy these days, it's better to be direct.

After asking to no avail, Zhu Jie could only pray that the surveillance at the airport would check faster.

At this time, looking at Zhu Jie who was anxiously turning around in circles in the monitoring room, Fei Gou smiled and turned to Maya and said, "Well done, the money will be your expenses, you can distribute it yourself."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Maya's face was full of joy. 500,000 US dollars was not a small amount for them.

Who is the fat dog in front of him? He is a big man who can "chat and laugh" with the royal family. His words are worth 500,000 US dollars.

After Maya and the others respectfully sent the fat dog away, Maya returned to the office and looked at the pile of US dollars on the table. She was so happy that she put away her facial expression and began to put money into envelopes one by one.

This is the current situation in Southeast Asia.

Those who received the money were naturally happy to pretend that they saw nothing and nothing happened. Anyway, their mission was just to "handle official business".
