Madam Li said, "At present, you're in Italy. Our government can't interfere with the affairs of another country, so it's impossible for us to help you." The policeman's eyes flashed with satisfaction when he heard that.
Madam Li continued. "Similarly, what you do in Italy has nothing to do with our country. China will not have any requests for or control over you for any reason. We can say, however, that for whatever you do, China will be willing to bear the consequences for you."
The policeman was baffled. The darn baldy had been arrested and was inside solitary confinement every day. What consequences could there be? Was this Chinese woman silly?
Fangzheng smiled. He understood what China meant. In common parlance, it meant: "F**king go loose. Even if the sky falls, the country will hold it up!"
Of course, this wasn't to let Fangzheng do whatever he wanted, no matter how illegal it was. It was just that China believed that he wouldn't go overboard.
