Under Minister Gong's expectation, Xiao Zhengyan expressed his attitude concisely and comprehensively.
The best way to handle this matter is to deal with it privately. Because the United States is not at fault and does not bear much responsibility. If it gets too big, only China will be embarrassed.
Likewise, this is also the attitude of Zhongnanhai.
"It is not convenient for China to come forward in this matter. Whether it is openly or privately, even the overseas duty team of the Dragon Group must not be involved. Once the United States gets hold of it, it will definitely turn into a major incident. It’s not good for our country’s image.” Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes.
"It makes sense." Minister Gong nodded, enduring the severe pain in his arm.
"So I will deal with it in my own way." Xiao Zheng said word by word.
Minister Gong heard this, and although he agreed, he was also worried: "If you do this, you may be attacked. Whether it is abroad or at home."
When we share the same hatred against the enemy, perhaps the country will be united in dealing with the outside world. But once the incident is resolved, Xiao Zheng may face a reckoning.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said very freely: "Minister Gong, do you think I will wrong myself and the country for the sake of those old bureaucrats?"
Minister Gong stood up in awe, and said: "Azheng, don't worry, I will fully support you. Whoever wants to settle your account will settle it slowly with me!"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Thank you, Minister Gong."
After that, he changed the subject and said: "Minister Gong, you'd better go to the hospital. Captain Jiang and I are enough here."
Minister Gong shook his head and said: "Only when I am here can the people below feel at ease. This is a tough battle, and I cannot be a deserter."
Xiao Zheng heard this and stopped trying to persuade him. It’s just another layer of respect for Minister Gong.
A woman actually possesses such integrity. She is indeed the most powerful woman in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Admirable.

After New York City Mayor Fall returned to his office, he immediately recalled the city's police chief, Money. The two sat facing each other and each lit a cigarette.
"This matter is too serious." Mayor Faure is an academic, over middle-aged, but elegant. He is a typical civilian politician. He raised his eyes and glanced at Director Mani, and said rather melancholy. "This happened in our jurisdiction. Once something goes wrong, we will face catastrophe."
Director Money took a long drag on his cigarette and cursed: "Damn Jerry! I'm sure this matter has nothing to do with him!"
Jerry is the gentle white man who made things difficult for Xiao Zheng before. The official deputy director is nominally the deputy of Director Mani. The backstage is far more powerful than Mani. Therefore, although the two are superior and subordinate, they get along in private. Jerry never took Mani seriously.
"Are you sure?" Mayor Fall narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped smoking.
"Not sure." Mani shook his head and said sadly. "But this damn guy once revealed to me. The president once angrily cursed Emperor Ling Lai in the White House. Even within the Congress, they are quite dissatisfied with the attitude of the Tokyo government. China will have to pay the price for speaking out."
"I don't care how many big shots are disgusted with China." Fore frowned. "I only care about whether the person who did this is in our jurisdiction. If you suspect Jerry, send someone to keep an eye on him. You must not let him cause trouble again. Otherwise, you and I will step down!"
Director Mani nodded heavily and gritted his teeth: "I know what to do! If he dares to do anything under my nose, I will kill him!"

The consulate shooting case was suppressed in all aspects. Except for a few high-level officials who were aware of the developments, the public had no idea what kind of game these politicians were playing behind the scenes.
But soon, a shooting in Times Square sparked heated debate among the people. The victim was a successful young entrepreneur. He is in his thirties but has a net worth of billions. In the luxury car where he died tragically, there was also a world-famous model dressed in sexy clothes. The entrepreneur was shot in the head, but his pants were pulled down to his knees. Exposing indecent organs.
That night, someone uploaded the tragic entrepreneur's identity on the Internet. He is actually the illegitimate son of a certain White House boss. The entrepreneur was able to make a fortune because he relied on his father's resources and did many illegal and disciplinary activities.
For a time, the Internet exploded. One wave of denunciation is better than another. The whole people was shocked.
But one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
A member of Congress died tragically in a private club. He was completely naked when he died, and there were several girls dressed wildly at the crime scene. At first glance, it’s pornographic news.
As for the cause of death, there are three versions.
The first version was that he died of cardiac arrest after taking a large amount of drugs similar to Viagra.
The second version was killed by one of the girls.
The third version died of assassination.
Because few people witnessed the scene, the local government quickly sealed off the murder scene. Coupled with the noble status of the deceased, it is easy to arouse public opinion. Therefore, little news has been circulated. But the more officials continue to cling to Pipa, the more netizens become more imaginative and fabricate countless possibilities.
There was a lot of buzz for a while, and the attention continued to rise.
But during the day the next day, netizens discovered that the sound gradually disappeared from the Internet. After all posts, topics, and videos have been withdrawn. People smelled a political game.
But at night, murders occurred one after another, and each of the deceased had an extremely impressive identity. Netizens finally discovered the cruelest problem.
All those who died committed a heinous crime. A sin that the world cannot tolerate!
The word "scavenger" quickly became a keyword on the Internet. Countless citizens believe that this was an organized and premeditated assassination. The purpose is to eliminate sin and restore peace to the world!
"Well done! This kind of scum deserves to die!"
"It's terrible. Such a well-dressed beast can actually survive in the world and live better than most ordinary citizens. What's wrong with society? What's wrong with the world? Whose fault is this? Is it a problem with the system or is it the responsibility of the presidential office? ?”
One murder after another was exposed to the public. But no one cares about how to punish the murderer. Instead, they ask local officials to give a reasonable explanation.
Faced with such high pressure, even the Presidential Office issued an announcement that it would actively investigate and collect evidence and provide citizens with a reasonable explanation. He also strongly condemned the murderer and must bring him to justice. Give the people a stable living environment.
But obviously, the latter paragraph did not win the favor of the people. On the contrary, many netizens said that the more such scumbags die, the better.
Late the next day. Xiao Zheng stood in front of the window and admired the busy traffic downstairs. He put down his wine glass and said, "I'll join in the fun too."
Jiang Qing, who was behind him, couldn't help but worry when he heard this: "Be careful."
"Just a deputy director." Xiao Zheng put on his coat and played with it. "wait for my good news."
