Chapter 665: Chapter 665: I’ll Take Care of This Matter_1

As Wang Ye had a good command of Russian, the Russian policeman was slightly polite towards him.

He explained, "These students don’t have visas. I suspect they are here illegally, so I am taking them to the police station for further investigation."

Wang Ye and Nalan Yaqi were surprised. No visas?

This seemed impossible.

Nalan Yaqi asked Millie, who stood on the other side, "Where are your visas? Why did the Russian policeman say you don’t have any?"

On hearing this, Millie and the others gave widened eyes and began to explain.

Listening to their explanations, Wang Ye immediately understood what had happened. He had experienced a similar situation before. It was not that they didn’t have any visas as the Russian policeman alleged, it was just that they didn’t have official ones.

The visas of foreign students studying in Russia are renewed annually.

However, sometimes, due to the inefficiency of the Russian offices, there would be a "gap period" for visa re-issuing. Simply put, this meant the time when you had to renew your ID card, but the new one was not ready, while the old one had expired already...

During this gap period, it didn’t mean that you would become an "illegal resident". Relevant authorities would issue a temporary certificate to prove your legal status and outline the reasons for not having an official visa on the certificate.

The temporary visas for overseas students were usually issued by police stations near their schools and had the official police seal.

That was the situation Millie and the others were confronted with.

Their official visas were still being processed and at present, they were bearing temporary visas.

The Russian policeman seized on this "loophole", insisting their statuses were illegal since they did not have official visas.

As for the temporary visas, he wouldn’t acknowledge them....

This was unreasonable since the temporary visas were legally valid documents issued by the police station.

Why shouldn’t a mere patrol policeman recognize them?

Of course, Wang Ye fully understood. The Russian policeman might not recognize the temporary visas, but if Millie and the others slipped him five hundred rubles each, the temporary visas would immediately become "legal"...

In the end, the issue was likely due to the young female students’ ignorance of these "rules", coupled with their weak language skills, which caused the trouble.

If they were taken to the police station, it wouldn’t be a big deal if they stick to not giving him money.

In the worst-case scenario, they would be detained for a few hours. The Russian policeman would not harm them but just scare them before letting them go.

But for ordinary people, especially young girls who just went abroad, it would be impossible for them not to be afraid if they had never seen such a scene before.

If this had happened previously, maybe Wang Ye wouldn’t have had any solution and would just follow the local custom.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

You are in their territory and even if you encounter some unfairness, there’s nothing much you can do.

But now, he’s got more solutions!

He decided to deal with it!

Apparently, Nalan Yaqi, who stood beside him, knew this, which was why she dared to ask Wang Ye to handle the "trouble".

......

"Comrade, all these students have legal documents but are still waiting for their visas on arrival. On their temporary visas, there is the issuing police station’s contact number. If you suspect any problems with these temporary visas, you can verify by calling them. There’s no need to bring them to the police station, right?"

Wang Ye spoke in a serious tone.

Despite his masterful command of Russian, however, this did not help as the Russian policeman had already decided that Wang Ye was nothing more than an Asian foreign student who had stayed in Russia a few years longer than usual.

Facing Wang Ye’s questioning, he was annoyed.

Russian policemen would not normally bother foreign students who had stayed in Russia for several years and command a high level of Russian, because they knew these students knew the ropes.

As long as your documents were complete, it would be difficult for the Russian policeman to cause trouble. They might even stir up trouble for themselves, which would not be worth it.

However, if this "student" didn’t know what’s good for himself and sought trouble, the policeman wouldn’t mind teaching him a small lesson.

So, the Russian policeman asked in a stern face, "Show your passport, it’s routine inspection!"

Wang Ye was stunned; he hadn’t encountered such a situation in a long time.

Especially after being elected as the Deputy Speaker of Duma, even when visiting the Kremlin, no one stopped him for a passport inspection. At most, he only needed to show his Duma ID card.

He instinctively checked his pockets, but couldn’t find his passport...

That thing seemed to be in the drawer of his office in Duma. He hardly ever needed it in his day-to-day life.

Seeing that Wang Ye hadn’t produced his passport after a while, the Russian policeman got excited.

Good!

This meddlesome young man, daring to step outside without his passport!

Without a passport, he should have kept some distance, why did he walk right up to the policeman and draw attention to himself?

Watch how I deal with you!

"I repeat, take out your passport immediately!"

The Russian policeman raised his voice, and his tone became more severe. His right hand was already on his baton.

Though they usually carried guns, there was no need to use them in such a small scenario...

Nalan Yaqi was also a bit panicked; she didn’t bring her passport with her either.

She usually went shopping at the high-end malls around Red Square and she would drive there directly, thus she hadn’t faced any passport inspection in a long time.

She simply forgot before leaving home today.

......

Spotting the situation over this side, Xie Liaosha and others, who were standing not far from Wang Ye, were getting alert and kept watching this side, preparing to rush over at any time.

Caught by the corner of Wang Ye’s eyes, Xie Liaosha and the others were ready to make movements. Wang Ye shook his head slightly, and signaled them not to act rashly.

Since he had decided to intervene in this "trivial matter", and was dealing with a regular police officer, Wang Ye wasn’t worried about unexpected complications.

"Oh, I forgot to bring it. However, I’m a student at Moscow University, you can call..." Wang Ye responded unstressed.

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by the Russian policeman.

"I don’t want to call any school, that’s not my job! Since you don’t have your passport, you will have to come with me. Wait until your school comes to pick you up. If not, you will spend the night in a cell until your identity can be verified tomorrow."

The Russian policeman said with a grin, clearly pleased with himself.

Since he knew Wang Ye was an "old foreign student", he had given up the idea of extorting money.

However, he fully intended to teach this meddling young man a lesson!

According to the regulations, the Russian police had the authority to detain those who couldn’t prove their identities, for up to twenty-four hours ...

Properly speaking, during these twenty-four hours, the Russian police should actively verify the identity of Wang Ye to decide whether he is a legal resident.

However, the Russian policeman clearly wouldn’t take the initiative to do this, he would delay until the last minute of the twenty-four-hour period.

When the time was up, they would follow the method provided by Wang Ye to verify his identity.

If he is a legal resident and everything checks out, they will release him. If he turned out to be an "illegal resident", then legal prosecution would commence.
