Lin An felt he had been careless, he shouldn't have agreed to Doctor Zhang's suggestion to attend this damned conference.
The scene he had imagined of Mrs. Sally Byde being judged by international forces simply did not happen. Instead, the place resembled a vegetable market at the junction of urban and rural areas, filled with noisy chatter everywhere.
Besides an interesting fight that happened outside the venue at the beginning, the place was flooded with mutual insults and compromises.
You give a little, I take a step back, you press further and, oh, fall into the trap I set. I catch you by the tail and unleash a barrage, then you get infuriated and plan to resolve things through physical confrontation.
Then, the surrounding people would pause their verbal sparring, come over to break up the fight, and in the process of separating the combatants, everyone takes a step back, and lo, some agreement is reached.
