Chapter 193 - 174 Escape
In fact, officials in Southern Country were also in a state of bewilderment; they had not expected a drug manufacturing incident to provoke such a strong reaction from Hua Country.
Aside from the Hua Country Embassy, the Hua Country Ministry of Foreign Affairs also got involved.
If Wu Li had only exposed the relevant evidence, Hua Country would not have been in a good position to intervene, as it was an internal matter of Southern Country. But now, Wu Li was right in the thick of it and could be in danger at any moment.
As a citizen of Hua Country, it was Hua Country’s responsibility to ensure his safety, which gave them a reason to get involved.
For Southern Country, however, the safety of Wu Li was secondary. The main issue was that the incident was being broadcast live, and it had already caused a huge stir in Hua Country. After realizing Wu Li’s influence there, Southern Country knew it would not be long before almost the entire Hua Country would be aware of the incident.
Once the whole of Hua Country knew, it would be hard for the people of Southern Country not to know, especially since Hu Shan was a well-known figure there.

For Southern Country, especially for the Yuhe City police force, the response was now crucial, as it involved various issues, such as face-saving, and also affected the official hats of many people.
Hu Shan had offended quite a few people in Southern Country. For these individuals, this was a good opportunity, so various parties were now jockeying for position.
The phone of the Chief of Yuhe City Police Department was almost blown up; his every word and action were under great scrutiny. For him, handling this matter by the book was the best approach.
