615: The fortress collapsed from within

Their operation was forcibly stopped and has now entered the final phase.

Nila Liansen looked at the constantly scrolling online hot comments on the large screen in the hall, his heart turning cold.

This chaos caused Nila Liansen's expression to lose some control.

"Damn it..."

Many CIA staff members were leaving the corridor carrying cardboard boxes, making the huge hall appear increasingly cold and desolate.

Nila Liansen cursed, and at this moment, the large screen displaying the hot comments also turned off.

The already deserted hall plunged completely into darkness.

Nila Liansen gave a bitter smile, leaned back in his chair, and muttered with difficulty, "Isher this Su Yue's goal?"

"What does he want to do? Plunge the Beautiful Country into panic?"

When Xiao Xiao, on the other side of New York, saw this news, she was planning how to rescue Su Yue.

At first, she didn't believe the news, but soon after, she received a confidential call from Gao Long.

Gao Long's voice on the phone was very urgent, and the environment on her end seemed a bit noisy.

After the call connected, Gao Long said directly, "Su Yue has indeed escaped from prison. We haven't obtained specific intelligence yet, but it's highly likely that Su Yue will come looking for you..."

"Don't act rashly! Xiao Xiao! Once you meet up with Su Yue, immediately give him the fake identity. The two of you should go to the Airport immediately, transfer to Paris, and fly back to Beijing!"

"Understood?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately confirmed, "Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiao felt excited.

The fact that she might see Su Yue again made her so excited she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

She threw the maps and other items she had prepared for Su Yue's rescue onto the floor, then rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find documents and fake identity information.

Then she nervously waited for Su Yue's appearance.

In Albert Prison's parking lot, Isher had Bangi play the recording of the conversation between Su Yue and Hannibal earlier.

"The two of them must have reached an agreement in that conversation..."

"And we've been led by the nose by Su Yue the whole time! Entering Albert Prison was something he had planned long ago!"

Bangi quickly retrieved the conversation records between Su Yue and Professor Hannibal.

Although their conversation was brief, Isher felt that it contained a huge amount of information, with every sentence carrying a deep meaning.

This meaningful conversation was initiated by Hannibal; the "true friendship" he mentioned did not refer to the CIA, but to his own.

Starting from the conclusion, Isher worked backward through their conversation, and this time he clearly understood the true meaning behind Hannibal's words. At the same time, he also found that Su Yue understood Hannibal's implication almost instantly.

Su Yue replied, "I prefer to cooperate with smart people."

Subsequently, the two engaged in a series of intellectual duels. Hannibal even tentatively asked Su Yue how he could tell that he was controlled by the CIA, asking, "We all live in cages, Su Yue, what do you think?"

Su Yue replied, "The fact that you can sit in front of me already shows their sincerity."

The profound meaning within these words could only be understood by the two people present at the time.

Listening to these words, Isher felt a shock. If taken out of context, these words were indeed very problematic, but combined with their conversation content, even listening to this conversation live, it would be difficult to find any clues.

This Isher the brilliance of smart people like Su Yue and Hannibal!

Isher had heard this recording before, but it wasn't until now that he fully understood what kind of communication had taken place between them, and this was precisely the reason for Hannibal's prison escape and his own action of shutting down the building's network under Su Yue's guidance.

Could it be that after Su Yue helped Hannibal, Hannibal in turn helped him escape from Albert Prison?

Isher was already certain that there was some kind of deal between Su Yue and Hannibal, but he still didn't understand how Hannibal found a way to rescue Su Yue.

Even if Hannibal hasn't been arrested yet, what does it matter? Because it's impossible for Hannibal to have any further communication with Su Yue.

Isher frowned tightly, his heart full of doubts.

"Hannibal's appearance must not have been within Su Yue's expectations..."

"Then there would be no opportunity for Su Yue to discuss how to escape from prison with Hannibal."

"But the prison break has already happened... How did he manage it? And what role did Hannibal play in this?"

Just as he was lost in thought, a Ford car sped past them.

"So fast?"

The sound of the car interrupted Isher's thoughts. Bangi said, "That car... doesn't it belong to Warden Stonebanks?"

"Why Isher he in such a hurry?"

Isher snorted coldly and said, "It seems even someone like him Isher getting nervous."

"At this time, he's probably going to visit someone, right?"

"He's offended quite a few people over the years. Once he's dismissed, his old rivals won't be polite."

Isher didn't think about Stonebanks anymore, but continued to ponder matters related to Su Yue. He only felt that the closer he got to the truth, the more he faced a thick fog that he couldn't penetrate.

The more he lacked ideas, the more his brain tended to enter a state of emptiness. And at this time, the taillights of that Ford Mustang kept appearing in his mind.

The more he tried to eliminate this influence, the more vividly he would think of the Mustang's appearance.

"Damn it!"

He slammed the steering wheel, but at that moment, his expression froze, and even the hand that hit the steering wheel remained stiff.

"Stonebanks?"

"It's him?"

At this moment, the fog in Isher's mind seemed to be pierced by a ray of light. He suddenly widened his eyes, and countless clues connected together. Immediately after, he violently twisted the car key and directly rushed forward.

The roar of the engine and the push from the sudden acceleration almost made Bangi drop his computer. Isher said, "Stonebanks!"

"He's the one with the problem!"

"Bangi! Track Stonebanks's car!"

"Contact the CIA, FBI, and New York Police Department, make sure to stop him!"

He stepped on the accelerator and sped under the streetlights in the dark night. Bangi asked in surprise, "The Warden? But how Isher that possible?"

"Isher... don't be impulsive. The Warden has been looking after this place for so long, there's absolutely no need for him to do something like this."

"What's more, once Su Yue leaves, the other prison guards would also see him."

"If the Warden..."

Speaking of this, Bangi suddenly stopped. As he spoke, he realized something, and after realizing it, his expression was immediately filled with horror.

"It turns out it's like this!?"

Isher didn't say anything; he drove the vehicle in silence, constantly accelerating along the road. His heart was very complex at this moment, and he gritted his teeth, filled with incomprehension regarding Stonebanks's actions.

What on earth made such a person become Su Yue's accomplice?

"Damn it..."

"What did Su Yue do!?"

"Even with Stonebanks's cooperation, how could he possibly pass through eight checkpoints!?"

"And Stonebanks... how was he turned by Su Yue?"

At this moment, Su Yue was standing next to the Statue of Liberty, looking up at the massive sculpture bathed in spotlights. As he looked at the statue, a faint smile played on the corner of his mouth.

This escape... was of course planned long ago. After all, before surrendering and going to court, he had a full seven days to prepare. And during that time, there were simply too many things he could do.

A remote intersection in New York's Manhattan, sparsely populated, appeared particularly quiet.

The roar of an engine came from a distance, and the headlights of a Mustang Jeep cut through the silence of the night, illuminating the street. Stonebanks stepped on the accelerator, disregarding traffic signs, speeding through the city at a speed that would land him in prison.

However, just as he sped past, countless lights suddenly illuminated the intersection. From the shadows, multiple police cars drove out, forming a cordon and surrounding Stonebanks's Mustang.

Brakes screeched, and crashes roared. The Mustang crashed heavily into the FBI black car blocking the intersection. The huge impact pushed the black car far away, but the Mustang finally stopped, smoke rising from the hood, clearly unable to start again.

"Stonebanks!"

"You are now under arrest for assisting in a prison break!"

"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court!"

The voice from the loudspeaker felt muffled to Stonebanks, who had a head injury. He groggily pushed open the car door and stumbled out of the car, raising his hands amidst the ringing in his ears and dizziness, because countless muzzles were pointed at him at this moment.

Stonebanks was a former member of the SEALs, and his strength was recognized within a small circle, so it was not surprising that there was such a large force to deal with him.

Just then, as Stonebanks thought he was about to be arrested, another car rushed over from a distance; it was the vehicle driven by Isher.

Isher's car stopped outside the cordon, and he walked through the crowd to Stonebanks's side.

"Mr. Stone..." Isher asked directly, "You should understand why I caught up."

Stonebanks's ear ringing had recovered significantly, and he nodded silently.

Seeing him nod, Isher continued in a cold tone, "Then... tell the truth. What exactly happened? Where Isher Su Yue now?"

Stonebanks was silent for a moment, then looked into Isher's eyes and said, "If I say I don't know either... would you believe me?"

Isher narrowed his eyes, his expression sharp, but in reality, he believed Stonebanks's words immediately in his heart. In this situation, Stonebanks was the most likely person to have assisted Su Yue's escape, but Isher also knew that his opponent was Su Yue.

No matter how unexpected it was, as long as it was done by Su Yue, it was very likely to lead to bigger loopholes.

Isher neither admitted nor denied, only saying, "Tell me what you know."

Stonebanks took a deep breath and began, "What I know Isher just a phone call I received six days ago from an unknown number. The other party claimed that my family had been controlled, and if I didn't want anything to happen to them, I had to completely follow the arrangements of a document a few days later."

Hearing this, Isher was suddenly stunned. He frowned and asked, "You have family?"

Stonebanks was silent for a while, then nodded. "Because of the special nature of my identity, the existence of my family Isher confidential, but ordinary people cannot access this level."

His explanation made Isher understand, but how could this make someone like Stonebanks comply with Su Yue's arrangements? From the timing, that phone call was clearly from Su Yue. As expected, he had made preparations for Albert Prison long ago!

Isher suddenly recalled what Su Yue had suddenly said in the interrogation room at the CIA special operations building. "Let's talk." "Su Yue wants to talk to us..."

At this moment, Isher's brain felt as if it had been struck by lightning! Su Yue's plan had gone into motion at that moment! Whether it was Hannibal or not, as long as someone wanted to talk to him, the final outcome was "cooperation," "entering Albert Prison," and then "prison escape"! This was all prepared by Su Yue!

Isher was stunned on the spot for a moment. He considered himself a good thinker, but his thoughts were completely calculated by Su Yue! And Su Yue cunningly presented him with a multiple-choice question with no other options. After presenting a difficult problem, there was only one way for him to solve it! For example, interrogating Su Yue, or imprisoning Su Yue in the prison. The best choice that could be made in New York was to have Su Yue enter Albert Prison, but Su Yue happened to have made all the preparations in Albert Prison!

"Damn it!" Isher felt as if he was being played like a puppet. But even so, the biggest puzzle in his heart remained unsolved - why did Stonebanks help Su Yue?

Even if his family was threatened, he could have reported it to the CIA or a higher level authority. Why would he help Su Yue escape from prison? Although there were turbulent waves in Isher's heart, he didn't show it on his face, only asking Stonebanks again, "Just because of this? Because of this you chose to help Su Yue?"

Stonebanks was slightly stunned, his expression changing somewhat. He pondered for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "I couldn't refuse. My daughter... was a member of the Hacker organization that threatened to expose the darkness of New York before. I didn't know this until he called."

Hearing this, Isher's expression froze. Fortresses often begin to crumble from within.

Isher never expected that the root cause of Stonebanks's compromise was his daughter.

Even more shocking was that his daughter was a member of the Hacker organization that had caused such a stir recently!

Although that Hacker organization had disappeared after the "Zhang Qi" live broadcast incident, their existence was an undeniable fact.

And Stonebanks's daughter was actually a Hacker...

No wonder that Hacker organization could get hold of so much sensitive information.

However, Isher didn't delve deeper. Although this news shocked him, it didn't explain how Stonebanks let Li Xuan go.

Even if Stonebanks intended to cooperate, the strictness of Albert Prison and its multiple checkpoints were well-known.
