616: That strange fax document!

Therefore, even Warden Stonebanks could not easily let Su Yue go...

But, coincidentally, this happened.

This means there are more unknown secrets behind the matter...

At this moment, some of the FBI agents blocking the road also heard their conversation.

Hearing this, their hearts were also filled with astonishment.

Although many of them already knew about Su Yue's escape, they never thought it would be for such a reason.

However, the current situation was tense, and although they were moved, they did not whisper among themselves.

Just then, Isher's voice sounded again: "Even with your help..."

"The possibility of Su Yue escaping from Albert Prison Isher also very low."

"At least, someone should have notified us."

"Why Isher there no footage of Su Yue's disappearance in the surveillance video?"

"Why didn't anyone inform us that Su Yue had left?"

This was the key to how Su Yue escaped from prison, and what Isher truly wanted to know.

Just then, Isher's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at Stonebanks, and although he was eager to hear what he would say next, he still had to pull out his phone.

The caller ID showed an unknown number.

For ordinary people, this might be nothing. But for an IMF agent like Isher, his phone had advanced encryption and decryption technology.

This unknown number... made Isher's expression turn solemn.

However, facing the continuously ringing phone, Isher still answered the call.

Before he could speak, an old voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is Hunter, what have you found out?"

"There Isher no time to delay now!"

"Niem Liansen said you already have clues? Whatever it Isher, send it to me as soon as possible!"

Isher was very familiar with this old voice; it was the Chief Officer of the CIA, Philip Mark.

Philip Mark's words did not stop; he continued, "The internet Isher already in an uproar..."

"No matter what the reason, even if you have to make one up, make up a decent one!"

"China and the public need an explanation!"

His voice was very urgent; it was indeed a critical moment now.

Isher replied, "Give me ten minutes."

However, Philip Mark immediately interrupted, "Five minutes!"

"Give me a reasonable explanation in five minutes!"

"Even if it's false, we can announce the truth later!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Is Hunter nodded: "Understood, sir."

He only had time to say "Understood" before he could say "sir," and there was a busy signal in the receiver.

Isher raised his head, looked at Stonebanks, and waited for his answer.

At this moment, Isher began to feel nervous. He knew very well that the public's emotions were already on the verge of exploding.

If they told lies again, if they couldn't announce the truth about Su Yue in time, they would definitely think the CIA was fabricating lies again...

After all, in people's minds, escaping from Albert Prison was almost an impossible task!

Let alone ordinary people, even Is Hunter himself, before Su Yue's escape case occurred, thought this was an impossible task!

He stared intently into Stonebanks's eyes.

But Stonebanks said, "I don't know."

"I don't know why the news of Su Yue's escape... didn't notify you immediately."

Hearing this, Isher furrowed his brows tightly and roared, "Nonsense!"

"If you don't even know, then how did Su Yue get out?"

Stonebanks's tone was somewhat weak; he coughed suppressively, then continued, "Although I don't know why, I do have some guesses..."

Isher frowned, waiting for him to continue.

Stonebanks continued, "Because I didn't do anything to assist in the escape."

"In the end, all I did was conceal the fact of Su Yue's escape..."

Hearing Stonebanks's words, Isher's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a new idea appeared in his mind.

His eyes gradually widened.

And Stonebanks's speaking speed remained calm and indifferent; he continued, "When you said there was a fax coming, I noticed this. I warned you, but you didn't listen."

"I don't know what document you were going to give Su Yue, but the information received on the satellite phone network was a document from the CIA to release Su Yue."

As soon as this sentence came out, Isher felt as if his heart had been violently struck.

A document to release Su Yue?

How Isher this possible?

Isher was deeply shocked by Stonebanks's words.

At the same time, he recalled the scene in the warden's office this afternoon. At that time, Stonebanks showed resistance to receiving the document, clearly having some reluctance. But he didn't expose it, which must be related to his daughter.

Isher was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bangi standing among the FBI agents. Bangi spread his hands, indicating that the satellite phone had no problem. This meant the problem was within the CIA!

Isher's heart rate accelerated, and it was as if a huge net was slowly unfolding in his mind.

Time was pressing, and although Isher had difficulty breathing, he still forced himself to ask, "So, if you don't admit it, you are innocent now?"

Stonebanks nodded: "Yes, I just followed the rules. I didn't need to ask too many questions about the document from the CIA. In prison, I also had reason not to actively contact the outside world."

Isher was extremely astonished in his heart; he had already guessed roughly. He was stunned for a moment, and asked again, "But..."

Stonebanks continued, "Since you want to investigate me, I hope my daughter will not be sanctioned, at least her identity will not be made public. This Isher my only request."

Isher looked at him, his heart filled with unshakeable horror. Although Stonebanks's voice was still echoing in his ears, his mind had already begun to ponder the truth.

He did not agree to Stonebanks's request, because he did not have that authority. Isher just said, "In other words, you received the document from the CIA and then released Su Yue according to the document. According to common sense, you didn't need to escape, so why did you do that?"

Stonebanks replied, "You mentioned Hannibal. If he was Su Yue's helper, I had to ensure my daughter's safety. That guy Isher a devil."

Isher was stunned; he didn't expect such a result. It turned out that it was his unintentional revelation of Hannibal's existence that made Stonebanks rush back desperately.

What Stonebanks didn't expect was that his car was still parked in the parking lot and hadn't left. If not for this, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the unknown number called again. Philip Mark's voice came: "Do you know the result? Whether you know or not, give me a reason for Su Yue to escape now. The think tank here will polish it, hurry!"

Isher was astonished in his heart, but he didn't waste time. He organized Su Yue's mode of operation, then said, "Su Yue's escape was a setup he had prepared long ago. He wanted to use this to disrupt the already unstable situation. Stonebanks's daughter was a member of that Hacker organization some time ago. Su Yue used this point to make Stonebanks cooperate with him. Or rather, he just made Stonebanks do his part, acting according to the document transmitted by the CIA. And the document transmitted by the CIA was a document to release Su Yue."

Hearing Isher's words, Philip Mark was furious: "What kind of reason Isher this? How Isher this possible?"

Isher ignored his superior's temper and said in a low voice, "That's how it Isher. Stonebanks didn't cross the line. Su Yue most likely used similar methods to make other relevant people continue according to this document. No one violated regulations; their only cost was not coming forward to report. Therefore, no one would report Su Yue. His departure was silent. If it weren't for Stonebanks being unable to contain himself, perhaps we would have to wait a long time to know this result. Sir, I will continue to investigate the situation of the relevant personnel. As for the truth of this matter, I advise you, it Isher best to announce it truthfully. Continuing to hide it Isher very likely to fall into Su Yue's trap again."

The conversation fell silent. After a moment, Philip Mark replied, "I understand." Then he hung up the phone.

It was obvious that although Philip Mark was equally shocked, with a little thought, he could see that this matter was highly credible. Coupled with Su Yue's Hacker skills and astonishing verbal proficiency, it was indeed very possible for him to achieve this.

Isher knew very well that no matter who heard of Su Yue's layout like this, they would be shocked. This was an overt scheme set by Su Yue.

If they chose to announce the facts, the shock caused by Su Yue would spread throughout the world, and the authority of the United States' relevant parties would significantly decrease. If they chose not to announce it, according to the current situation, the pressure from the public and China would put them in a difficult position. The news of Su Yue escaping from Albert Prison would not be believed without conclusive evidence. If it wasn't announced, a deeper Abyss would await them.

This was Su Yue's setup! He had calculated everything! Even the so-called "cooperation," in fact, even if they didn't mention it, Su Yue would have proposed it himself. In that situation, Isher knew he would definitely choose to accept that so-called "cooperation."

For Su Yue, the only unexpected thing was the appearance of Hannibal. But Su Yue even used this unexpected event to increase the difficulty for them significantly. No wonder when Su Yue was communicating with Hannibal, Hannibal repeatedly confirmed "let nature take its course." At that time, Hannibal also didn't expect such a situation. And Su Yue actually forced himself to shut down the entire building's network under those circumstances.

This adaptability Isher simply astonishing! Reaching this point was not an accident or coincidence at all, but a script that Su Yue had already written! Everyone was a piece on his board; the moment he stood in court, all of this was predetermined.

At the last moment of December 31st, the United States CNN news channel suddenly cut in with an urgent news report.

"The details of Su Yue's escape have now been revealed." The announcer's voice was serious and solemn.

"This case Isher still under in-depth investigation, and CIA Senior Officer Niem Liansen will issue a relevant statement."

"Now connecting to our reporter at the press conference site..."

At the same time, this news was also broadcast simultaneously on multiple TV stations across the United States, and there were continuous live streams online. This comprehensive, multi-angle public disclosure allowed the truth of Su Yue's escape to instantly spread to every corner.

People were shocked! Albert Prison, the fortress renowned as impossible to escape from, was actually successfully escaped by Su Yue! This was simply a huge challenge to people's common sense!

"He really escaped from Albert Prison?"

"How Isher this possible? I've seen documentaries about Albert Prison; there's simply no possibility of escape there!"

People's hearts were filled with shock. Although Su Yue had already brought them too many unbelievable things, this matter still made it difficult for them to accept.

"It turned out to be like this?"

"The previous news was actually true? He wasn't assassinated, but he actually escaped!?"

At this moment, CNN news channel was broadcasting Niem Liansen's statement. His speaking speed was slow, as if every word had been carefully considered.

"Su Yue's escape incident exposed significant management loopholes at Albert Prison and also sounded an alarm for our internal problems..."

"Warden Stonebanks bears undeniable responsibility in this escape case."

"We have dismissed Stonebanks and will hold a public trial on January 3rd."

"According to Stonebanks, he was threatened in advance by the inmate Su Yue for family reasons."

"Su Yue demanded that Stonebanks act according to his instructions and assist him in escaping."

"We have arrested the principal offender assisting Su Yue's escape, Stonebanks, and the remaining accomplices are currently under further investigation."

"We hope the general public can patiently await the results of our investigation."

"Regarding Su Yue's public speech scheduled for 9 PM tonight, it has been forced to cancel due to Su Yue's escape. We hope everyone can understand our predicament."

"The subsequent developments of this case will be fully disclosed to the public."

"We promise to let everyone who wants to know the truth know everything we have..."

While Niem Liansen was giving his public statement, the CIA's official website simultaneously announced Stonebanks's punishment. He was detained for dereliction of duty and assisting in escape and will be publicly tried three days later. At the same time, the website also displayed the evidence collected so far.

On the other side, Isher returned to Albert Prison and launched investigations and interrogations of the prison staff who had contact with Su Yue. Between 4 PM and 7 PM, every inspector at the eight checkpoints had been arrested as a suspect and the interrogations had begun.

In the CIA Special Operations Building, agents arrested Stonebanks's daughter, Stone Ada, and took her into the interrogation room for an overnight interrogation. Everyone was eager to know Su Yue's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, there was still no progress in the pursuit of Hannibal. Due to insufficient personnel, the operation to arrest Hannibal had to be temporarily suspended.

This incident not only shocked the entire United States but also quickly spread to China. Many people had been following Su Yue's movements, especially the United States' full day of publicity, which had already caused widespread concern domestically about the news that Su Yue was about to livestream.
