Chapter 642: Victory in one shot

Commenting loudly on the clearance process at the customs checkpoint of the Mei nation, both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai suddenly realized that they were being observed. When they saw Davis, the chief of customs, glaring at them, they both stiffened in apprehension.

“Chief, look at them. These are all people of Hua nation and they are so uncouth. Being noisy and creating an uproar as if they were back home; it’s truly disgusting,” the female inspector said, trying to stir trouble, which was not

surprising.

Xiao Luo pointed at her angrily and said, “Mind your words!”

Although they were three simple words, the way he said them sounded authoritative.

Oh, my gosh, brother Luo hasn’t changed one bit! Look at commanding he is.

Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai gazed at Xiao Luo with stars in their eyes. After all, he was the first person they’d seen who dared to tell off a customs officer so blatantly.

Huang Ruoran, Wang Ling, and Zhong Meili were all stunned by Xiao Luo’s words as well. Although they had an altercation with the customs officers earlier, they did not speak rudely. Instead, they were trying to negotiate. However, Xiao Luo just ordered her to shut up, and that seemed like a risky move. They were at the entry point of the Mei nation, after all, and it did not sound like a smart choice to go against the customs. What if they were all denied entry into the Mei nation?

The travelers from different countries who were around them were equally shocked at Xiao Luo’s words. Everyone, including ordinary folk, the wealthy and influential, or even celebrities, behaved themselves when they went through the customs for the sake of a smooth process. To go against their officers would mean that he was creating trouble for himself and seemed rather foolish.

Their opinion of Xiao Luo was that he had guts!

It infuriated Davis when he saw what had happened. “Sir, do you intend to cause trouble?” he said.

While he was asking Xiao Luo, he signaled to two customs police officers who walked up from behind him with stern faces.

“I am so sorry! He is my student, and we had endured a very long flight—it was over 12 hours, and he is just stressed up. I apologize on his behalf for all the trouble; he didn’t mean it.”

Zhong Meili approached them and bowed to Davis in apology. She then scolded Xiao Luo in Chinese, “Xiao Luo, you’re not in your own country and you should not behave so recklessly. This is something you should tolerate. Should they arrest you here, it would be very troublesome to get you out.”

“Ms. Zhong, I appreciate your kindness and I know what I am doing. Please do not interfere in this matter.”

Xiao Luo rejected Zhong Meili’s kindness and walked up to stare at Davis in the eyes. “Your name is Davis, right? I have only two requests now. First, apologize to me on the behalf of the customs department,” he said, then pointing at the female inspector, “and, second, fire her! She is not suitable to work for the customs here in Mei nation.”

What?

The customs officers and everyone around them were completely dumbfounded. They all thought that Xiao Luo was probably a psychopath, for he had dared raise such arrogant demands. He probably had some mental illness!

Zhu Xiaofei and the rest were even more shocked. They were unsure of what was happening and felt awkward. It was almost like a weak student bullying a macho guy, then demanding an apology and even threatening to break his finger.

Was that even possible?

There was no way that they would agree to such demands. Why would they even be bothered to listen at all?

The female inspector burst out in laughter. She even showed Xiao Luo her middle finger discreetly and cursed him. Although she did not say it out loud, she could be seen mouthing the words: F*ck you!

Davis also found it amusing and responded, “Sir, it’s up to us to decide whether she’s qualified to work here, and you are in no position to judge her. She’s not at fault, so she doesn’t have to apologize to you. Instead, you are creating a mess here and disrupting order, causing delays for hundreds of people. You should be the one apologizing. So, I am giving you one final warning to go to the back of the line, or else…”

“Or else, what?”

Xiao Luo took out the phone from his chest pocket and pressed the play button. It showed the clip of that female inspector humiliating the Hua nationals in a crystal clear voice.

Davis was stunned, and when he watched the recording of her insulting the Hua citizens with slurs and vulgarities, his face turned green completely.

That female inspector was taken aback, as she had no idea that Xiao Luo was secretly recording the incident.

Xiao Luo stared at Davis and smiled. “Dear Mr. Davis, what did you just say? The people of Mei nation are very civilized?” he said, then spat on the floor, “You’re very right. You guys are very civilized!”

Oh, my God, brother Luo was killing it!

Both Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai were in awe.

Huang Ruoran, Wang Ling, and Zhong Meili dropped their jaws. They had never witnessed such boldness—this man dared to challenge the customs of the Mei nation. It was unprecedented!

Xiao Luo’s action also shocked travelers from different countries. Usually, everyone could only comply with any request from the customs when they visited foreign lands. None of them had seen someone challenging customs officers and getting away with it.

Davis was incensed and could not maintain his composure anymore. He ordered the police officers, “Arrest him for disrupting order in the customs checkpoint!”

As the head of the customs section, he had never been once challenged so blatantly in such a way before. It piqued him that Xiao Luo dared to record his customs officers at work. He had no intention of letting Xiao Luo get away with such disrespectful behavior, as it would be a great insult to the customs department.

“Mr. Davis, are you sure about this? I just sent this video to a friend in Hua nation. He will circulate this video to all the major media outlets in Hua nation at my command. Of course, we will not forget to send our regards to your great President. The video will get a lot of public attention, and if he watches this video too, I believe not only will that woman lose her job but you, Mr. Davis, would surely be affected as well, right?”

“Gulp!”

Davis swallowed his saliva with much difficulty as he broke out in a cold sweat. His intention to order the arrest was to delete the video, as it would give a very negative image of his country to the world. Should that video be released, they would punish even the secretary of foreign affairs. What more a mere chief in this customs section?

They stood confronting each other in silence for a few more seconds.

His angry face changed, and suddenly he put on a smile. “Err… Well, Sir, this is negotiable, so let’s talk about this. Please come this way.”

“I can talk, but you have to clear the Hua nation travelers first,” Xiao Luo said.

“Absolutely, we will do it right now!”

Davis signaled to a few inspectors and pointed at the pale-looking female inspector. “Get the hell out of here! You are a disgrace to our country. Who gave you the authority to insult the Hua nation? Don’t you know that Hua nation is our biggest creditor? Get over here and apologize to this man!”

That female inspector’s arrogant attitude vanished. She came out from behind the kiosk with her head lowered. Bowing deeply at Xiao Luo, and said, “Sir, I am… sorry.”

“Sir, there is no excuse for her rude behavior. On behalf of the customs department, allow me to sincerely apologize for the incident.” Davis only apologized because Xiao Luo had evidence of their wrongdoing. If that video ever leaked out, it would create such a stir that they would all be in big trouble.
