At this moment, Zhao Quan was also completely stunned there.
If it was just those lacy news incidents before, he might have been able to persuade some, but now, the nature of this matter had completely risen to a different level.
The current Zhao Quan was in no position to say anything.
At this moment, Xu Jiao Ran was also completely frozen, her eyes looking incredulously at Antonia.
She was completely unaware of the matter of the youtubes at all.
At this moment, the face of that captain of the guard also became completely serious.
Because the White Pearl was carrying all sorts of celebrities and dignitaries from various countries, the most important thing for the White Pearl was to ensure the safety and privacy of these high ranking pa*sengers!
But now, as a prince, Antonia’s family’s privacy has been violated, and even the safety of their kingdom’s property may be threatened.
If such a thing were to get out, it would be a great humiliation for the White Pearl Guard!
Therefore, the captain of the guard naturally did not dare to be negligent.
He had to get to the bottom of this matter.
Otherwise, not to mention the Guard, even Mr Lawrence’s reputation would be questioned!
“Stealing high secrets is a felony no matter where it is committed! Do you have anything else to say!”
The Captain of the Guard looked at Xu Jiao Ran and questioned in a cold voice.
“I have none! I’ve never even seen any flash drive! He was framing me from the very beginning!”
Xu Jiao Ran naturally wouldn’t admit such a thing.
“Mr. Captain, what this woman is best at is pretending to be innocent! I think there’s no need for you to talk nonsense to her, just search her directly!”
Liu Susu on the stage suggested with a smile on her face.
The captain of the guard team’s face sank as he looked at Xu Jiao Ran again.
“Madam, I advise you, it’s better to hand over your things as early as possible, so that you can still leave yourself the last of your dignity!”
The captain of the guard said in a cold voice.
“No …… I have never stolen ……”
Xu Jiao Ran shook her head with tears in her eyes.
This time, that guard captain had finally lost his patience completely.
“Search your body!”
With a command, two female team members walked straight onto the stage.
They ignored Xu Jiao Ran’s resistance and directly searched Xu Jiao Ran in public.
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd on stage.
On stage, Xu Jiao Ran felt as if she was being thrown in front of the crowd in a state of nakedness!
She felt an unprecedented humiliation!
A few moments later, the body search was over.
The female member of the team, however, shook her head towards that captain, apparently not finding anything.
“I see, if something this important is not on her, it must be in her room! I think, you guys should go and search her room again!”
Liu Susu suggested.
“That’s right, that flash drive must be in her room! What’s on that flash drive is very important to our kingdom, so why don’t you guys hurry up and find it!”
Antonia also said in a cold voice.
The captain of the guard did not dare to be slow and hurriedly ordered his men to search for it.
Twenty minutes later, a member of the guard came running back in a hurry.
“Captain, we found it!”
The member handed over a flash drive.
“Yes, this is my flash drive! It still has the flag of our kingdom printed on it!”
Antonia immediately shouted excitedly.
At this, the crowd present was completely in an uproar.
They had never imagined that this innocent girl in front of them was not only a green wh*re who wanted to betray herself to get to the top, but also a criminal who stole high level secrets!
This was simply beyond everyone’s expectation.
At this moment, the captain of the guard’s face had also turned completely grim.
“The man has been caught with the stolen goods! Madam, do you have anything to say now?”
The captain of the guard said in a low voice.
At this moment, Xu Jiao Ran only felt a burst of powerlessness.
Of course she knew that Antonia must have planted this flash drive on her!
Xu Jiao Ran wanted to explain, wanted to clarify, but she had already realised from just now that all her resistance was in vain!
In the face of a beast like Antonia, all her explanations were so futile that no one would believe her!
“As you can see, she’s been caught, she has nothing more to say!”
Antonia said triumphantly.
All the people present were also deeply convinced.
As far as they were concerned, Xu Jiao Ran’s silence already represented acquiescence!
The captain of that guard then came in front of Antonia.
“Prince Antonia, I am really sorry that it was because of our unfavourable work that we allowed such people to take advantage of the situation. You see, now this matter, how to solve it is good?”
The captain of the guard asked Antonia for his opinion.
Antonia knew that everything, now, was within his grasp, and a pang of triumph came over him.
“As I recall, there is a rule on the White Pearl that if a cruise ship is on the high seas, if a crime is committed, then everything will be settled according to the laws of the victim’s country, correct?”
Antonia asked with an arrogant look on her face.
“That is correct!”
The captain of the guard nodded his head very seriously and said.
With a sneer, Antonia looked again at Xu Jiao Ran in front of him.
“We are now on the high seas, and according to our laws, theft of high secrets is punishable by hanging!”
Antonia said with a fierce face.
There was an uproar from the stage.
Xu Jiao Ran also raised her head and looked at Antonia with a frightened expression.
She had never imagined that she had done nothing, but the other party was trying to kill her!
In fact, even if Xu Jiao Ran had done this, or if she had really stolen the High Secret, she would not have been sentenced to such a severe punishment.
It was just that the place where Antonia was located was originally a relatively dictatorial area.
Even the law was for the benefit of the Antonia family, so the punishment there was the most severe.
At this moment, the captain of that guard also nodded his head.
“I understand! Then let’s do what you want, Your Highness!”
The captain of the guard said directly.
A look of triumph spread across Antonia’s face, and the gaze he looked at Xu Jiao Ran also carried a look of victorious arrogance.
“Now, I declare you sentenced to death for the crime of stealing high secrets! There is no gallows here, so I will give you a more merciful and simpler way instead. Go straight to the sea!”
