Chapter 34: There is something hateful about pitiful people

As Zhou Ming's words came out, there was an instant silence. The Jingchu people and Binhai people, including all the classmates in the finance class, looked at Zhou Ming with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe that Zhou Ming would actually say such a thing.

After a moment of silence, Binhaier laughed loudly, 'What did you little bastard just say? You want the French president to order us to be released? And for him to apologise to us? Are you sure you're not crazy? Who do you think you are, the President of the United Nations? In fact, you are just a daydreaming idiot!'

Jingchu people also said to Zhou Ming with embarrassment on his face, 'Brother, judging from your accent, you are also from Jingchu, right? I know you don't like him, but in fact, he is just a person who is not gentle with his words. You don't need to argue with him over these things, just let it go after hearing it.'

These words were tactful, but in fact they were reminding Zhou Ming that he was a bit too casual and indiscreet with his words. As for the other classmates in the finance class, although they blindly believed in Zhou Ming, they didn't understand why he had said that. It was impossible, after all.

Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, 'You don't need to defend me. I know you don't believe me, but we'll just have to wait and see.'

'Wait and see? See what? See how you're going to lose face next? I'm sorry, but we don't have the time to wait. As soon as my friends come to bail me out, I'm leaving. You can just wait here for your president to release me,' the Binhai native taunted Zhou Ming.

However perhaps his voice was a little too loud. As soon as he finished speaking, a policeman carrying a baton came outside and unceremoniously knocked on the metal door of the detention cell a few times, a harsh clanging sound, and yelled inside, 'You damned yellow-skinned bastards, all of you, be fucking quiet! Otherwise, I guarantee I'll kick the shit out of all your balls!'

This shout scared the Binhai people into subconsciously shrinking their heads. They were obviously very afraid of the French police outside, but then they saw Zhou Ming and glared at him fiercely, as if they were blaming Zhou Ming for summoning the police.

Zhou Ming nodded helplessly. He didn't know what to say to someone who was only brave in hiding.

However with the police officer's shout, the detention room became quiet. Ye Ning cautiously came to Zhou Ming's side and asked, 'Teacher, how long do you think we'll be locked up here? They're not really going to take away our personal effects, are they? also...open each piece of clothing to look inside?'

Zhou Ming glanced at Ye Ning. Her flushed face was full of disgust. She was obviously worried that the underwear in her suitcase would be looked at by those shameless blacks. This was completely unacceptable to her, who was very conservative.

Zhou Ming told her, 'We can do without some of the rituals, but those bastards, I'll make them pay!'

'I believe in you, teacher!' Ye Ning said firmly. 'But we have to get out of here first. When do you think Caitlin will come and save us?'

Zhou Ming did not give a direct answer, but instead asked her, 'Do you believe what I just said about the French president ordering our release and apologising to us?'

'Of course I do!' Ye Ning answered without hesitation.

'That That's right,' Zhou Ming said to her with a smile. 'So now Caitlyn is already working on it, and we just need to wait quietly here. In three days at the most, we will be able to wait for the president's order and apology. But before that, we will have to patiently wait here for three days.'

Ye Ning nods vigorously: 'Then we'll wait for three days. Even if they let us go, we won't go in three days!'

The Binhai people couldn't help but laugh when they heard Ye Ning's words: 'You won't even go if they let you go? Are you that superstitious about your teacher? Really such a bunch of idiots. After all these years of studying, they still don't know how to learn. It seems that education in China is still not working. They just blindly prepare for exams, without considering the all-round development of students, especially the ability to think independently!

Facing his mockery, Li Yang suddenly asked, 'Classmates, what if you get bitten by a dog one day?

All said in unison that they didn't know. Li Yang then followed up with his own question: 'Of course there's nothing you can do, you just have to accept your fate. After all, we can't go back and bite the dog that's barking all over the place, can we?'

No one didn't know that Li Yang was mocking the Binhai person, so everyone laughed happily.

The Binhai was very angry and even wanted to stand up and hit Zhou Ming, but when he saw the students behind Zhou Ming, he had to hold back. After all, he could not fight so many people alone. He could only curse Zhou Ming in his heart.

Subsequently After about half an hour, they heard footsteps outside the door again.

This made Binhai jump for joy. He said to Zhou Ming, 'Come to save me. My friends have finally come to bailed me out, while you idiots just waited here, believing this asshole could get the president to bail you out!'

This detention cell was a very common, secret-like room, with walls on all sides and no windows, just an iron door at the entrance.

As the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, someone suddenly opened the viewing window of the metal door, and then a French woman said through the viewing window, 'Li! Are you here?'

This was was calling the Binhai man. His spirits were lifted, and he first proudly said to Zhou Ming, 'This is my girlfriend, she is a true Frenchwoman!'

He was very proud, as if he had done something to be very proud of. But it's no wonder. In an era when everyone is unanimously regarded as a penny, being able to have a foreign girlfriend, especially from a developed country, is indeed something to brag about. Then he pounded on the door, shouting in fluent French: 'Eva, I'm here. Have you come to bail me out? Hurry up and let them let me out, I really don't want to be here for another minute, as God is my witness!'

'Li I can understand how you feel, but you can't go out yet because they say your crime is very serious. If you are released on bail, you will need at least 10,000 francs. But you know I don't have that kind of money,' the woman explained to him outside.

The coastal The seafaring man froze when he heard this. He said incredulously, '10,000 francs? Why would they want that much money? Damn it, just leave them alone and just bail me out, just me...'

Seeing that he was a little agitated, Eva tried to explain to him from the outside: 'Li, don't get excited. Listen to my explanation. It's not what you think. The 10,000 francs they're talking about is just is just for you. If there are eight of you, it will cost 80,000 francs in total. My God, what crime have you committed that requires such a large bail?

'What What? I need 10,000 francs alone? How is this possible? We obviously haven't done anything illegal, so why is this happening? Let me out, I don't want to stay here!'

The Binhai person became more and more agitated as he spoke, and in the end he started to desperately bang on the shaking metal door. No matter what his girlfriend said outside, he couldn't stop, as if he had entered some kind of frenzy. In the end his behaviour angered the policeman at the door, who pulled out a stun gun and gave him a powerful shock with it. He fell to the ground, screaming, and convulsed.

'Li , how are you? Are you okay? Do you need an ambulance? You have no right to do this to him, what you are doing is illegal. I will get his bail money for him!'

Outside Eva was still talking, but the Binhai man inside could no longer say a word. Eva's voice outside was getting quieter and quieter, and after a while, it was no longer audible. It seemed that she had been forcibly taken away by the police.

At that moment the Riviera man slowly woke up, but still kept saying that he wanted to go out. Zhou Ming couldn't stand it anymore and said to him, 'If you really want to go out, it's only 10,000 francs bail, I can help you pay it.'

Hearing Zhou Ming's words made the Binhai people jump up like dogs with their tails stepped on. They said angrily to Zhou Ming, 'Get out! I don't want your charity. It's all because of you bastards that things have turned out like this! If you hadn't committed such a big crime, how would you have implicated us? I've never heard of a bail of 10,000 francs. Do you understand what 10,000 francs is? That's half a year's salary!'

Jingchu couldn't bear to see it: 'What's wrong with you? He was trying to help you, wasn't he? If you don't want to accept it, that's fine, but why are you shouting at him?'

Binhai said the Binhai native with a sneer, 'He helped me? Don't act like a fake saint. He's all talk and no action. What bullshit presidential orders and apologies. If he had 10,000 francs, do you think he'd still be here bragging? He has a foreign girlfriend too, right? At least Eva still comes to visit me, but where is his girlfriend? I'm afraid she's long gone.'

'You bastards, I told you long ago that there are foreign laws in foreign countries, and that you should not act recklessly. But you wouldn't listen. Now this is all your fault!' Binhai roared, 'I believe the French law is just, I am innocent, they will let me out!'

Zhou Ming frowned: 'After all, we are all Chinese and are fellow countrymen. Why would you rather believe those foreigners than your own countrymen?'

'Fellow countrymen? Haven't you heard the saying that if you meet a fellow countryman abroad, shoot him in the back? your own countrymen are the best to deceive, because you don't know anyone there, and some of them can't even communicate normally. If you deceive them, they won't be able to find you. But foreigners are very trustworthy, and their quality is better and they pay more attention to rules. In comparison, I would definitely rather trust a foreigner!'

Binhai person concluded, 'You don't know how much I hate my Chinese face, it's really terrible! If I had even a little Western gene in me, I'm sure I wouldn't be treated like this!'

Watching his hysteria, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly: 'What a pitiful man! There must be something hateful about him. This guy is already crazy. We can't communicate with him.'

Then Zhou Ming asked the Jingchu people to take him aside, and Zhou Ming said to his classmates in the finance class, 'I can understand why he is like this. It's nothing more than envy of the good life abroad, but when he gets there, was discriminated against everywhere. He was unwilling to admit that it was his own judgment that was wrong, and just blindly thought it was China's fault. He didn't think he should have Chinese genes, but never thought about changing all this through his own efforts.'

Chen Shu said, 'Teacher, are you saying that when we encounter problems, we should not run away from them, but change them with our own hands?'

Zhou Ming nodded: 'This is also the concept I have always wanted you to develop, because the so-called equality is based on sufficient strength. Begging for equality as a handout is an innocent idea that even beggars would not have.'

After saying this, Zhou Ming sat down against the wall. 'Then, we'll just wait for the French president to apologise to us!'
