Chapter 515 What is Capitalism?

Seeing Lu Yiming's lack of remorse, Dominic Burton was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wished he could take out a pistol and punch a hole in Lu Yiming's forehead to send him to God.

"Aren't you ashamed of what you have done? Do you know how many people will lose their jobs and their families will be destroyed by your actions?"

Dominic Burton stared at Lu Yiming intently, his sharp eyes seemed to pierc him through.

Facing Dominic Burton's hostile and angry gaze, Lu Yiming slightly shrugged his shoulders, not at all afraid of his aggression, but said in a relaxed tone: "Everything I do is within the rules, you Instead of criticizing me, criticize the people who make the rules. As for the shame, sorry, I'm not American, and all the things that happen here, what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing that Lu Yiming was so unrepentant and stubborn, Dominic Burton wanted to reprimand him loudly, but unexpectedly Alex Acosta rushed over with his lawyer and Li Yiwen.

Detective Inspector Lancelot Harrison hurried forward to greet him, but Alex Acosta ignored him and walked straight up to Lu Yiming, saying softly, "Mr. Lu, you are wronged." Now, don't worry, you can leave immediately after paying the bail, but in the near future, you may be asked to stay in the United States temporarily, just as a tourist."

Lu Yiming immediately became upset, and asked with a frown: "Can't leave the United States? Is there still a restriction on leaving the country? Isn't there no evidence to accuse me of committing a crime? I still have to go to school. Can you afford the loss of delaying my schooling?"

Of course Alex Acosta didn't believe Lu Yiming's words, this is the richest man in Xia Country, what difference does it make if you go to school or not?No matter how well they study, don’t they have to work for you after graduation?
Lancelot Harrison sighed, and took a step forward to explain patiently: "Hey, these are regulations, and we have to follow the procedures. I hope Mr. Lu can understand our difficulties."

In the United States, public opinion has to be taken into account in many things. After all, many politicians rely on votes, so it is natural not to make voters unhappy.

But now that the U.S. stock market has been short-sold, the investigation bureau directly sent people to take Lu Yiming away openly, which meant that Lu Yiming was a suspect.Even if there is no evidence, at least you have to put on a show, follow the procedure, and you can't just let people go.

Otherwise, if things are instigated by someone with a heart, it is likely to become difficult to deal with.

Lu Yiming thought for a while, and knew that he would not be able to leave the United States for the time being, so he could only nod his head to avoid the embarrassment: "Okay, then you should clear my name as soon as possible."

Dominic Burton, who was standing aside, had a hideous face, and expressed that he could not bear Lu Yiming's words.

The facts are all there, the evidence is conclusive, and you still have the nerve to say that you are innocent?

Are you innocent?
But there was no way, although a discerning person would know what was going on at a glance, but a civilized society is all about evidence, and no one can do anything to Lu Yiming without evidence.

"Then can I go now?"

Although the seafood feast was not finished yet, Lu Yiming didn't miss it at all. After all, compared to the warm villa, this place is a bit too simple, and it doesn't fit the temperament of the richest man to stay for a second longer.

"Of course, Mr. Lu, please." Lancelot Harrison smiled slightly, bent over in a very gentlemanly manner and made a "please" gesture, which looked very funny.It is obvious that he is in a high position and does not have the talent to be a waiter.

Seeing Lu Yiming and others leave, Dominic Burton quit and protested angrily to Lancelot Harrison: "How can you just let him go like this? Do you know what he did? I The criminals I have seen in the past few years, the combined destructive power of their crimes is not as great as this time!"

Lu Yiming, who hadn't gone far, seemed to hear Dominic Burton's roar, and immediately turned around, smiling and waving to Lancelot Harrison: "Mr. Justice, see you next time."

Dominic Burton is so angry, he has never seen any "criminal" dare to be so arrogant, and he simply treats law enforcement agencies as nothing.He couldn't help walking towards Lu Yiming, holding the handle of the gun at his waist with his right hand, and he might draw out the gun and shoot at any time.

Lu Yiming really insulted them too hard, it was like riding on top of their heads to shit!
Lancelot Harrison did not expect that Lu Yiming even dared to provoke him as a detective, and of course he was very angry in his heart.But he was able to sit in this position, naturally not by impulsiveness and recklessness, but with brains.

The reason why Lu Yiming dared to provoke them here was because someone behind Lu Yiming even did it on purpose.As long as they make a move, they will be caught by others, and it will be easy to lose their jobs, or they may even commit suicide.

Lancelot Harrison also knows a thing or two about the bloodshed of the upper class.

Lancelot Harrison grabbed Dominic Burton, who was almost losing his mind, and said helplessly: "Don't be impulsive, don't you want your job? Do you know who is next to him? That's the political circle The big man who raised his foot casually can trample us to death like bedbugs."

Seeing Lu Yiming and others protracted away, Dominic Burton, who had nowhere to vent his inner distress, turned around and kicked his desk to the ground, walking around the office manically, with a ferocious expression on his face, as if Ten thousand lice were biting him, but he was helpless.

"Ridiculous! It's so ridiculous! Stealing and robbing hundreds of dollars is a felony, and you will be caught and eaten in prison, but these culprits who shorted the stock market and blatantly robbed tens of billions of dollars from retail investors, but There is no need to be punished by the law at all, what happened to the United States?"

Lancelot Harrison patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Look at it, the world is so unfair, we can only do what we can."

Walking out of the office, Lu Yiming tidied up his crumpled suit, and complained: "I don't like to wear this kind of thing, not to mention my hands and feet, if I'm not careful, it will be crumpled, it's very ugly, it's not human at all. Shouldn’t clothing be based on comfort? This world is really unreasonable.”

Lu Yiming walked outside while making complaints, but just as he walked out of the office building, a group of reporters rushed over after hearing the news and surrounded them.

A reporter directly put the microphone on Lu Yiming's lips, and asked the most pointed question: "Mr. Lu, now everyone calls you a thief from the East, what do you think about this?"

Lu Yiming cleared his throat and retorted in fluent English: "It's nonsense. I am a legitimate businessman. I came to the United States purely for investment. I am not a thief. All I do are legitimate businesses."

The other reporter didn't seem to hear Lu Yiming's rebuttal at all, and then asked: "The salty water fund you invested in shorted US stocks, which brought huge losses to the entire United States. How do you plan to explain this matter?" ?”

This is very embarrassing. After all, although shorting is legal, ordinary people don't think so.

They would only think that Lu Yiming robbed them of the banknotes and made them impoverished.

Just as Lu Yiming was about to speak, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

Why does this problem seem to have a pit?
Didn't it just explain the legality of short selling?Why did the focus suddenly jump to bringing losses to the United States?
If this is explained according to his words, wouldn't this agree with the statement of "bringing huge losses to the United States"?
Otherwise what do you explain?
Preset answer questioning method.

As a high-intensity surfer in the 21st century, Lu Yiming encountered various cases of this type on the Internet every day, especially news about slander and slander by European and American media people, so he immediately reacted.

"I'm just an investor. What does it matter to me that Saltwater Fund is shorting US stocks? There are so many shootings in the United States every year, and I haven't seen you go to Lockheed Martin?"

Lu Yiming's reply left the reporters speechless for a moment.

The old men on Capitol Hill have been discussing the issue of gun ban for many years, but there are too many interests involved, how dare these little reporters make random remarks?
However, some people couldn't be persuaded by words. Several Texas rednecks rushed over angrily and cursed at Lu Yiming: "Go back to Asia, you yellow-skinned devil!"

These few are all Texans who lost their jobs due to the bankruptcy of Enron Corporation. They don't care whether what Lu Yiming said makes sense. The house, lost all the beauty in life!

Seeing that the rednecks put on a desperate posture, the reporters who were still thinking about how to continue to make things difficult for Lu Yiming, suddenly their eyes lit up, and they all rushed forward, accusing Lu Yiming of making everyone lose their jobs, leading to bankruptcy, and making Lu Yiming Go back to Xia Guo.

Seeing that the interview was about to turn into a street fight, Zhao Tiezhu joined forces with Alex Acosta's bodyguards to protect Lu Yiming and Alex Acosta.

Lu Yiming said angrily: "Do you think that I am Asian and easy to bully? Are you engaging in racial discrimination? This is what you call democracy?"

The reporters were caught off guard by Lu Yiming's beating.

In the United States, freedom and democracy and anti-racist discrimination are the biggest political correctness. Lu Yiming directly brought out these two big killers, which directly silenced these reporters.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, he still had to use magic to defeat magic.

The car quickly left the crowd, and Li Yiwen felt lingering fear, and complained, "Who are these people? They are too barbaric and unreasonable. The United States is a beacon of civilization?"

Lu Yiming's complexion was not good. He was about to get a fat beating just now. It was definitely not a good experience to be punched and kicked by those few strong Texas men. Immediately had to be hospitalized.

"I was just brought back today to assist in the investigation, and the news came out immediately, and people were brought over to block the door. If there is no one behind this, the dog will not believe it."

Alex Acosta said with a gloomy face: "I'm sorry to bring you a bad experience. I will investigate this matter clearly. They all rushed in front of me. It's really daring!"

The car drove to the gate of Lu Yiming's villa in Manhattan. The place was also crowded with reporters and protesting crowds. Even the walls of the yard were covered with various graffiti and various kinds of garbage.

Apparently, the angry crowd also hit here, and the people who went bankrupt because of the stock market crash angrily pointed their finger at Lu Yiming.

Seeing this scene in the car, Lu Yiming couldn't help sighing.

This is really liberal democracy.

"Does this count as breaking into a private house?"

Alex Acosta immediately said seriously: "Fine, of course! I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Looking at it from a distance, Lu Yiming knew that he might not be able to return here for the time being, so he immediately said: "Look for another place to live, I hope this time, there will be no more accidents."

Alex Acosta immediately agreed: Mr. Lu, don't worry, I will arrange a new residence for you, and promise that no one will disturb you again. "

Lu Yiming is now everyone's cash cow, no matter who it is, if you want to make money with Lu Yiming, you have to be polite.

Now it is a money society, especially in a capitalist country like the United States. Even the presidential campaign has more funds than anyone else. Politicians rely on swordplay to maintain their status. If you have no money, who will kill you?
A few hours later, Alex Acosta placed Lu Yiming in a luxurious villa in the suburbs.

Alex Acosta said: "In this villa, all kinds of facilities are available, and I have arranged for a special person to be stationed outside, which can definitely guarantee your safety, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yiming glanced at the villa, and found that this villa was bigger and more luxurious than the one he lived in before, so he reluctantly said: "Well, I hope so. I hope my things will not be damaged."

After entering the villa, Alex Acosta said: "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought, and I need to deal with some things. You guys stay here now, don't go out and walk around."

"Ah."

After Alex Acosta left, Li Yiwen said worriedly: "We can't go back to Xia Kingdom now, and now even our residence has been exposed. Seeing how those people behave, I guess they wish they could beat us to death. Hey, it won't happen." What an accident, right? It would be too shameful to die in a foreign country at a young age."

Lu Yiming took a bottle of sparkling wine from the wine cabinet, opened it, poured a glass for himself and Li Yiwen, and said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated. Come, have a glass of wine to calm your nerves."

Li Yiwen drank the wine in one gulp, but his mood was not calmed down.

In his opinion, the current situation is really bad. If Lu Yiming is prosecuted or even imprisoned, he will really collapse that day.

"Then what if you get caught and go to jail?"

Lu Yiming laughed loudly: "How could it be possible to go to jail? Just rest assured, I will definitely be fine."

Li Yiwen frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "You trust these foreigners so much? Alex doesn't look like a good person to me. You know, they only recognize money but not people, so don't be afraid He sold you as soon as he went out?"

Lu Yiming said confidently: "Of course he is not a good person, but because of this, he will not sell me."

Li Yiwen felt even more incredible, and asked, "Why?"

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Let's not talk about whether the FBI has any evidence to accuse me. Even if there is, you don't think that the United States is a place where laws, fairness and justice are emphasized? Don't be funny, this is a capitalist world. Do you know what it means? Is it capitalism? If you have money, you can do whatever you want. This is capitalism. If you have money, you cannot do whatever you want. .”

The current predicament seems to be in danger.

Because the benefits that Lu Yiming could bring to Alex Acosta and the others were beyond the reach of others, so even if they tried their best, they had to keep Lu Yiming.

What's more, Lu Yiming was innocent in the first place, so there was no pressure for them to help.

Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen drank some wine in the villa, and then each found a room with a large bathtub, and took a comfortable bath.

After taking a shower and curling up under the blanket, Lu Yiming called Shi Qingxue.

Before he could speak, Shi Qingxue asked impatiently: "Lu Yiming, I heard from grandma that you were arrested?"

When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately felt that this grandma really has all eyes and hands, and she got the news so soon.

When listening to Qingxue's tone, Lu Yiming hurriedly said comfortingly: "What got caught? It's nothing. If I got caught, can I still call you now? They just asked me to help with the investigation. Don't worry. "

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Shi Qingxue immediately calmed down, and said, "Why don't you come back quickly, it seems dangerous outside. And the school is already in session."

Lu Yiming didn't tell Shi Qingxue that he couldn't leave the country now, but just said: "Okay, I'll go back as soon as I finish the matter. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine."

It was hard to persuade Shi Qingxue, but as soon as this side hung up the phone, Lu Ding's phone call came over there.

"I just heard that you were arrested by the FBI over there? What's going on? Don't you want to go to jail?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It is impossible to go to jail. At most, you can leave a little money to buy roads. Now the United States still has face. I really want to punish me severely. Who will dare to play in the US stock market in the future?"

Lu Ding sighed, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect stock trading to be so dangerous. I didn't dare to tell your mother about this."

Lu Yiming assured again and again: "Dad, don't worry, I have found a protective umbrella here. If you want to mess with me, it depends on whether the people behind me agree or not."

Lu Ding is now in the country, and he can't do anything about Lu Yiming's situation. Even if he is anxious, he has nothing to do, so he can only say: "Okay, if you have something, don't hide it from the family. will fish you out."

Lu Yiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's not so, Dad, I already said that this is just a small scene, when the time comes, I'll be fine after a cutscene."

"Okay, when will you be back?"

"It won't be a few days, don't worry."
