612: Prison Break (Part 1)

The chaos in the Beautiful Country gradually spread throughout the entire Beautiful Country. The influence brought by Su Yue was constantly expanding, with people in almost every city responding to what he had said, and even more people with ulterior motives mixed among them. This situation would gradually worsen.

Although people were dissatisfied and increasingly felt injustice, at least they were still working. However, if the situation continued to develop like this, strikes might be imminent. People had never truly desired equality, but when they realized how astonishing the power of the privileged class was, they had to start seeking something for their own benefit.

Su Yue was just a fuse; he merely exposed things that many people tacitly understood. But a single spark can start a prairie fire. At the same time, the pressure from China became increasingly intense. The entire Beautiful Country entered a state of tension, and all of this was only because of one person - Su Yue.

December 31st, the last day of the year. This day seemed to hold some special significance. Former Councilor Jonathan finally stood in the defendant's dock. Amidst the increasingly serious public condemnation, the relevant parties had to make this decision.

Although Jonathan had interests linked to many people, in this situation, with the very foundations seemingly being shaken, no one chose to stand on Jonathan's side anymore. He was forced into the defendant's dock by various forces.

Those standing on high platforms personally pushed the Jonathan who had stood with them down, letting him bear the anger and become an outlet for emotions. This could also be considered fulfilling the promise made to Su Yue.

This was also why Su Yue's trial was chosen to be live-streamed previously.

To convict Zhang Qi and to whitewash Jonathan. But if the public could not be convinced, then Jonathan would be pushed out sooner or later.

Not only Jonathan, but many of the people who had guaranteed him at the time were also dragged out.

Charges such as perjury, corruption, and bribery were leveled against those people. A huge chain of interests was uprooted.

As for why the result was like this... it was actually destined from the moment Su Yue appeared.

Interests were always the highest point for those people in their risk assessment.

Previously, protecting Jonathan was in their interest, but now exposing Jonathan had become in their interest.

In such circumstances, it was only natural that Jonathan would fall.

Moreover, his crimes were far more than just the murder case that Su Yue had exposed before.

This was the so-called "kick a man while he's down." They had to ensure that Jonathan could never rise again.

The trial of Jonathan concluded on the morning of December 31st. He was sentenced to 760 years in prison, destined never to walk out of prison in his lifetime.

The trial of Jonathan finally brought a sense of relief to many people's hearts.

However, this relief could only alleviate the pain for a while. To completely solve the problem, they still had to wait for Su Yue to come forward.

Only the person who tied the knot can untie it; Su Yue's words held the most authority.

After Jonathan's trial ended and he entered prison, Isher went to Elberg Prison again.

Since they had fulfilled Su Yue's request and four days had passed, this was naturally the best opportunity for Su Yue to come forward.

However, as Isher was driving to Elberg Prison, he received a phone call.

"Isher..." The caller was Nila Liansen, a senior officer from the Central Intelligence Agency. His tone was full of fatigue: "People from China have arrived... We can't delay much longer. Su Yue must cooperate today. If he doesn't agree... just kill him!" His tone became extremely cold, "Beaten to death by other inmates in prison... such a situation might not be impossible!"

Hearing Nila Liansen's words, Isher felt immense pressure, almost suffocating.

"Kill Su Yue?" He tried to calm his emotions, but felt that all his efforts during this period had been in vain.

What exactly was their purpose? Could they really not delay anymore? It was just extraditing one person, only a few days since he entered prison, delay a few more days, at least a week...

Pushing Su Yue so urgently would only backfire!

"Officer Nila, if we kill Su Yue, what can we do?" Isher's voice trembled with anger.

"We are paying for the actions of those guys!"

"Can't we even delay for a few more days now?"

"Nila, don't forget, that's Su Yue!"

Isher's words made Nila Liansen silent for a moment.

With a sigh, Nila Liansen continued: "China Isher pushing very hard now, they don't want Su Yue to help us. And because of that manifesto, this extradition Isher being watched by many people, the situation Isher indeed very difficult."

Bang!

As soon as Nila Liansen finished speaking, there was a muffled sound from his end.

Immediately followed by Frank's voice: "Hey! Isher! This Isher my car!"

Nila Liansen continued: "We can't delay anymore, just do as I said, if Su Yue doesn't agree, kill him. China wants the person, and Su Yue has too many secrets. I don't know if he kept copies of the confidential files, but if the confidential files are known to China, they can make a lot of trouble."

"Isher, this Isher the only way after risk assessment. You understand, if people see anything else, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just a strike."

Isher certainly understood what this meant, but giving up like this was not the outcome he wanted either.

However, at this point, he had no other choice.

Finally, Isher asked: "Today Isher the deadline?"

Nila Liansen confirmed: "Yes."

He then added: "I will continue to fight for it, you need to appear more composed in front of Su Yue."

Isher was silent for a while, then continued: "If Su Yue dies, what about the plan? We are not facing the Beautiful Country, not Washington, but the people of all fifty states! If Su Yue dies, what can we do against them?"

Nila Liansen said through clenched teeth: "Anyway, once Su Yue Isher extradited, how much better do you think people's reaction will be?"

"This Isher already the last resort, Isher!"

"Even without Su Yue coming forward to explain, we can always find other ways!"

"But if Su Yue returns to China and faces trial in China, think about what that scene would be like!"

"Be sober, Isher! It's not just you who has sacrificed during this time!"

"Plans ultimately can't keep up with changes, now that China Isher pushing hard, this Isher our only way!"

Nila Liansen finished speaking with intense words, then stopped abruptly, as if his heavy breathing could be heard.

Isher was silent for a moment, then said: "Pray that Su Yue agrees."

...

At Elberg Prison, Isher passed through layers of checks and finally arrived at the transparent solitary cell where Su Yue was held.

Four days later, he saw Su Yue's face again, a face that always carried a faint smile.

"Su Yue." He stood in front of the transparent cell, asking Su Yue through the voice port, "How are you prepared?"

Hearing Isher's words, Su Yue stood up and walked to the voice port.

At this time, Su Yue was wearing a white garment similar to a protective suit, which was his exclusive prison uniform, a treatment not afforded to ordinary inmates.

Su Yue spoke: "Before I answer your question, I have a few questions I want to ask."

"How Isher the situation outside?"

Isher frowned, then answered truthfully: "Not good."

Su Yue then asked: "How Isher Councilor Jonathan?"

Isher continued: "As you wished, he was sentenced to over seven hundred years and will never get out in this lifetime."

Su Yue tilted his head slightly, then continued: "But what I requested..."

Isher interrupted Su Yue: "He cannot die now, you haven't fulfilled your promise yet. Now I have answered your two questions, next you must answer mine."

Su Yue spoke: "Okay, I have adjusted."

Isher didn't understand why Su Yue answered so readily. Didn't he know his situation?

Although Isher thought this, he didn't ask Su Yue why he answered so readily.

He no longer wanted to think about these things. Since Su Yue agreed, the rest was just a matter of time.

Isher paused for a moment, then continued: "Since you are ready, then prepare for the press conference. The time Isher this afternoon at three o'clock..."

As Isher spoke, his voice gradually lowered because he saw Su Yue silently shaking his head.

"You have no right to make any more choices." Isher narrowed his eyes, looking at Su Yue, "Although the best way Isher for you to come forward, how could we not have other solutions?"

Su Yue smiled and said calmly: "Mr. Isher, are you nervous about something? Are you anxious?"

"Although I am ready, it's only the fourth day..."

"Or Isher the situation outside 'not good' to the point where I have to come forward and explain?"

Isher's heart jolted, especially when Su Yue said "Are you anxious?", which filled his heart with dread.

He clearly couldn't let Su Yue realize any abnormality...

Just as Isher was thinking about how to respond, he heard Su Yue's words again: "But it's not entirely incomprehensible..."

"After all, it's been four days. These four days have felt like years to me. But it's okay, let's set our cooperation for nine o'clock tonight."

Su Yue continued: "Nine o'clock Isher just before rest, people will definitely pay attention to this matter. You also have time to find some people to lay the groundwork online, don't you?"

Isher felt a little strange in his heart, would Su Yue be so kind?

But considering Su Yue's current situation, the special prison uniform he was wearing, and the special prison guarding him, Su Yue's situation was clear at a glance.

Su Yue had no tools that could be used for escape, and his Hacker skills were completely useless in this traditional prison.

He had nowhere to retreat, and now the only thing he could rely on was his cooperation with the CIA.

After all, this was a win-win situation, and Su Yue would definitely seize this last opportunity tightly.

You know, this Isher Elberg Prison.

Isher nodded, then said: "Nine o'clock tonight Isher also fine."

Su Yue smiled and replied: "Since the time Isher set for nine o'clock tonight..."

"Then in the next few hours, I need some documents."

"Some documents about Councilor Jonathan, the damage statistics report of this incident, and recent current events..."

Isher interrupted Su Yue: "What do you need these for?"

Su Yue replied: "Simple, the real deception Isher to hide the lie within the truth."

"An illusion woven from facts Isher the most convincing."

"You should understand this, Mr. Isher."

Isher didn't know Su Yue's plan, but he continued: "I will have someone print out what you need and send it to you."

"You need to have all the drafts ready by eight o'clock tonight, and the live broadcast will start at exactly nine o'clock."

"Understood?"

Su Yue nodded lightly: "Understood, sir."

Isher didn't stay long and turned to leave.

If Su Yue could speak at nine o'clock tonight, then the people above could at least delay for a few more hours.

Although Su Yue would ultimately not escape death, he could now "accidentally" die on the plane back to China.

The CIA had countless ways to cause Su Yue, who was under their surveillance, to die mysteriously.

However, after leaving the cell area, Isher did not leave immediately but went to the warden's office.

The warden of Elberg Prison was named Stone Banks. Although he was not very famous, he was a tough character. In the IMF where Isher served, Stone Banks's name was often mentioned.

The reason why Elberg Prison had no escapees to this day, in addition to its sturdy concrete walls, high-voltage electric fences, and complex entry and exit procedures, was that Stone Banks also played a crucial role.

"Mr. Banks." Isher said directly after entering the office, "We will send a confidential file that needs to be printed and given to Su Yue."

Stone Banks's expression was very stiff, which might be due to facial nerve necrosis caused by "strenuous activities" in his youth.

After hearing Isher's words, he was silent for a moment, then said: "We don't have the equipment to receive confidential files."

"This kind of request..."

"Don't you know the rules of Elberg?"

Facing Stone Banks's cold reply, Isher did not show weakness: "The CIA understands you, and so do I."

"Since I made this request, you have no right to refuse, Mr. Banks."

Stone Banks's eyes became even colder after hearing this sentence, which seemed to be the only way he could express emotion.

But Isher ignored it and turned to leave the office.

On this matter, he could not give in, even when facing Stone Banks.

After getting his phone at the last security checkpoint, Isher immediately relayed the news that Su Yue had agreed.

This good news immediately caused a burst of cheers.

Those who had fought on this matter for four days and three nights finally felt a sense of relief.

Moreover, at this critical moment, they confirmed that they had not overlooked anything.

The entire CIA special operations building operated with extremely high efficiency.
