629: The Su Yue who doesn't exist?
“If it falls into the hands of certain malicious individuals…”
“This world will truly descend into chaos.”
Is Hunter knew the seriousness of the situation.
But he still couldn't figure out who would take such a huge risk to steal Uranium-235?
Even if it was stolen, what good would it do?
Full of doubts, he couldn't help but ask, “Without a warhead, without a launch device, without satellite support, what use Isher stealing Uranium-235?”
Philip Mark also had doubts: “This question…”
“We can discuss it in detail after we recover the Uranium-235.”
“No one has claimed responsibility for this incident yet, so we cannot determine if the other party has the capability to launch a nuclear bomb…”
Philip Mark's tone was somewhat hurried. After explaining the general situation, he added, “We must resolve this problem as soon as possible, but the mission in China Isher equally important, Isher, you need to stabilize the situation.”
Hearing Philip Mark's words, Is Hunter's impression of him improved significantly.
After all, when faced with major issues of right and wrong, Philip Mark's stance was quite firm.
Although his current mission was also facing difficulties, he immediately nodded and replied, “I will figure something out here myself.”
Philip Mark hummed in acknowledgment, then continued in a heavy tone, “Given the current situation, there Isher reason to suspect that this nuclear warhead was prepared for our country.”
“Now that the domestic situation Isher unstable, coupled with the threat of this nuclear bomb, I'm afraid there will be a major problem.”
Isher naturally understood the current predicament. He nodded and said, “I hope everything goes smoothly.”
…
In China, the Security Bureau also received the same intelligence.
Liu Longshi presided over a high-level meeting on counter-terrorism, attended by individuals in positions of power and authority.
This posed a serious threat to the international situation, for everyone.
“As we all know, no matter where this nuclear warhead Isher detonated, it will pose a huge threat to the international situation.”
Liu Longshi's expression was extremely serious: “We must do everything in our power, use all means, to recover the stolen Uranium-235!”
“Everyone, for the sake of safety, this information must never be leaked to anyone outside of this meeting.”
“The same applies to everyone!”
“Adhering to the confidentiality agreement Isher of utmost importance. Everyone must keep this firmly in mind!”
After emphasizing these points, he continued, “Next, I will explain the specific situation.”
“The missing nuclear warhead was stolen in Arabasta and has been missing for three days.”
“During these three days, no organization or force has claimed responsibility for this matter.”
“Therefore, we suspect that a small group or individual leader stole the nuclear warhead.”
“In this situation, we choose to cooperate with other intelligence agencies, share information, and ensure the problem Isher resolved within a few days…”
The meeting lasted for a long time.
But Gao Xiang, Feng Chuan, and others were not present at this meeting.
The Security Bureau's attitude in handling this matter was quite similar to that of the United States CIA.
Although resolving such matters was imminent, they did not relax their efforts in the dispute over Su Yue's issue.
…
At this moment, Lyon was making a phone call.
“Mr. Alba, hello.”
His voice was processed by a computer and transmitted to the other end of the phone.
Alba was one of the world's top arms dealers.
Such Uranium-235 was undoubtedly a priceless treasure for an arms dealer like him.
Hearing the processed voice, Alba frowned, but he didn't speak, instead listening patiently.
He was a shrewd person, having been in this fringe area for years. Of course, he understood that someone who could reach him and had their voice processed might bring a big business opportunity.
Hearing no response from the other party, Lyon smiled instead and said, “Mr. Alba, I think you must have heard about what happened in Arabasta by now.”
“I was the one who did it.”
Alba was taken aback, and his eyes instantly flashed with light.
However, this light quickly disappeared. Although he was very interested in this batch of Uranium-235, the risk associated with this kind of thing was also extremely high.
He had the financial resources to buy it, but he didn't know if he would live to sell it.
So he asked, “What do you want?”
A curve appeared at the corner of Lyon's mouth. He said, “Sir, I want to sell these three Uranium-235 for ninety million US dollars.”
“I wonder…”
“Are you satisfied with this price?”
For Alba, nuclear weapons were truly something with a price but no market.
So the price was not a problem at all.
At this moment, he sneered, “Let's not even talk about whether I really believe you have these things…”
“This thing Isher very hot potato, and it Isher said to have a lot of radiation. Even if I buy it, how long can I hold onto it?”
Lyon had naturally anticipated such a question. He said, “Sir, you don't have to worry about this matter.”
“Soon…”
“Someone will claim responsibility for these three nuclear warheads.”
“If you don't believe me, you can completely wait until he claims responsibility before continuing to discuss the transaction.”
Alba was stunned.
“Someone?”
Then he sneered, “I'd like to see who Isher so blind as to dare to take responsibility for this thing.”
“Okay!”
“Then as you said, if there Isher really a third party who admits responsibility, I will do this deal!”
Globally, undercurrents were surging, and various forces were actively taking action.
However, for ordinary people, life seemed to have not changed much; they were unaware that the world order was on the verge of collapse.
A Qi arrived in Beijing and was personally received by Qi Si, who led him to the Security Bureau.
As the Security Bureau was currently short-staffed, with many personnel having gone to Arabasta to search for clues, Qi Si appeared somewhat busy.
“Welcome to the Security Bureau,” Qi Si said calmly.
She looked at A Qi: “Please wait here, someone you know will be here soon.”
“I still have some things to deal with.”
“You are more professional in the mission to apprehend Su Yue.”
After speaking, she turned and left the room.
A Qi was somewhat surprised, wondering who the “acquaintance” Qi Si mentioned was.
But soon, his doubts were resolved.
Gao Xiang, Xiang Haitian, and Xiao Xiao walked into the small conference room.
“Qi Team?” Xiang Haitian exclaimed in surprise as soon as he entered the door, “You're here too?”
A Qi's face sank, and he asked, “Why didn't you tell me you were coming, kid?”
Xiang Haitian's voice was still hoarse: “Didn't you not say anything either?”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then pulled up chairs and sat down.
Facing A Qi, Gao Xiang felt a mix of emotions. Although A Qi had apologized to him, and he himself thought he had let go, sitting face to face at this moment, he still felt some complex emotions surging within him.

A Qi looked around and asked, “It seems Su Yue has indeed returned to the country?”
Xiao Xiao nodded: “According to Gao Xiang, that Isher indeed the case.”
“Before, Su Yue disguised himself as Gao Xiang and went to Professor Lin Liqun's house, and they even celebrated New Year's Day together.”
A Qi was stunned when he heard this, then a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“This Isher indeed like Su Yue's style.”
“However, two months have passed now, why Isher it only now…”
Xiang Haitian explained, “Because Professor Lin Liqun only discovered during the Spring Festival that the person who came to his house was not Gao Xiang himself.”
Gao Xiang nodded helplessly, took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and slowly said, “Su Yue Isher very good at exploiting such loopholes, and he Isher also very similar in build to me. It's understandable that Teacher Lin didn't recognize him.”
A Qi was actually quite shocked, but Su Yue had brought them too many shocks and surprises…
At this moment, a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart again.
He was somewhat confused, wondering if his participation in the operation to apprehend Su Yue this time was correct.
But no matter what, Gao Xiang finally spoke to him again.
The knot in A Qi's heart also unraveled quite a bit, and he nodded to Gao Xiang.
However, the conference room fell silent again for a while.
The failure of the Guangzhou Provincial Procuratorate made the atmosphere between them a bit awkward.
They also had nothing much to talk about, the topic always revolving around Su Yue.
Xiao Xiao briefly introduced her recent situation, and Gao Xiang also said that he had joined a team in the Security Bureau and was participating in the operation.
Xiang Haitian said that he had been undergoing special training at the Security Bureau these past few days.
A Qi knew that he would also join the special training, but what he didn't understand was why such training was needed to apprehend Su Yue?
It seemed things were not simple.
While they were chatting, Qi Si pushed the door open and entered.
“Everyone, I will now explain the current general situation to you.”
She tucked her messy hair behind her ears and continued, “We and the United States are currently engaged in a fierce confrontation surrounding Su Yue.”
“Gao Xiang's team Isher responsible for confronting the United States, and our goal Isher very clear…”
“As long as we can arrest Su Yue and put him on trial, things will become much simpler.”
“The United States' plan will also fail at its source.”
Qi Si explained in great detail, including the mission objectives, the actual scope of action, and even the permissions the Security Bureau could provide.
However, the most crucial issue was that they did not know Su Yue's current specific location.
Even so, Qi Si said firmly, “The team apprehending Su Yue and the team confronting the United States are complementary.”
“Once the operation begins, there are no boundaries between you; information Isher shared, and resources are shared.”
“On the issue of Su Yue, we must do our best.”
This temporary small-scale meeting lasted for a full two hours.
They were arranged to stay temporarily in the Security Bureau's internal lounge.
A Qi and Xiang Haitian also began their intensive training. It was then that they understood why such training was needed to apprehend Su Yue.
Because their current main target was not actually Su Yue, but the United States agents.
…
Night fell.
The two teams met and got to know each other.
Su Yue even shook hands with A Qi and the others; he hadn't expected to see them here again.
At this moment, they were discussing strategies to deal with the United States' actions.
A Qi said, “Those people from the United States have been very quiet recently. I wonder what they are up to?”
Gao Xiang also nodded: “Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Their actions were very frequent a few days ago, but suddenly they became quiet.”
“They haven't responded to the probes in the past few days either.”
Hou Jiashuang said, “About this… I actually wanted to say it earlier.”
“The atmosphere in the Security Bureau hasn't felt right recently either.”
“Perhaps something big Isher about to happen.”
Hearing Hou Jiashuang's words, the expressions of the others also became serious.
They had been operating within the Security Bureau and had some sense of the atmosphere and situation there.
The recent sudden silence of the United States agents made them feel a faint unease.
Although A Qi and others had come to the Security Bureau, they didn't have much contact with other operational personnel.
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Su Yue naturally had his own thoughts.
“That's right, the Security Bureau seems to have a big move recently.”
“Judging from the United States' actions, it might be a global matter.”
Su Yue didn't know exactly what had happened, but he was also quite worried.
He didn't know if this would affect his plan. What bothered him the most was that he had no idea what had happened at all.
Even though he was in the Security Bureau, he was completely unaware of the issues the bureau was currently dealing with.
This situation made Su Yue feel somewhat tricky, and if he wanted to find out the truth, it would easily attract more attention.
He thought for a moment, then said, “I say, can't we go and ask what happened?”
“At least we have the right to know, right?”
Hou Jiashuang smiled: “Feng Ge, your idea Isher too naive.”
“If it's truly top-secret information, even indirectly asking could cause trouble. Since they haven't informed us, don't overthink it.”
“And…”
“Actually, I have some guesses too…”
Xia Wen interrupted at this moment: “No need to guess, I probably know what happened.”
“Although I don't know who did it, the Uranium-235 nuclear material from Arabasta was stolen.”
Hearing Xia Wen's words, everyone's eyes widened.
A Qi asked in surprise, “That stuff was stolen?”
“Someone wants to start a nuclear war?”
“Or…”
“Isher this a hoax?”
Hearing this, Gao Xiang raised his eyebrows: “Qi Team… you suspect Su Yue?”
Xiang Haitian also lowered his head and said thoughtfully, “Indeed, after Su Yue disrupted the situation in the United States, he never showed up again. If he did this…”
“It wouldn't feel so surprising.”
Xia Wen smiled bitterly: “No… your idea surprises me instead.”
“The Su Yue we currently know, his actions have a certain bottom line.”
“He has never crossed a basic line. But if this nuclear bomb was really stolen by Su Yue…”
“Then no matter what he did, the harm caused by this nuclear warhead would be devastating.”
Hearing Xia Wen's rational analysis, A Qi's mood became heavy.
“That Isher indeed the case.”
“This doesn't seem like Su Yue's way of doing things.”
A Qi said this, but then changed the subject: “Although it doesn't seem like him, given the current situation, only if Su Yue did this does it feel like the most likely thing.”
Everyone fell silent again.
