632: Su Yue's escape method

Alba naturally knew full well that this news meant Su Yue was, to some extent, responsible for that nuclear warhead. He chuckled lightly and asked, "Indeed... but who exactly are you? Are you Su Yue himself, or someone else?"

Lyon was well-prepared for this and calmly replied, "You can take me as anyone, but the most important thing is our deal."

Alba pondered for a moment. Although he had doubts, the temptation of nuclear weapons was simply too great. He calmly asked, "Why should I believe you?"

Lyon replied, "You can inspect the goods during the transaction. For you, even getting just one nuclear warhead would be no loss at all. Moreover, is this money really that important to you?"

Alba frowned upon hearing this, displeased. "I don't like dealing with people who hide their identities. You are clearly not Su Yue. However, I am quite interested in those three nuclear warheads."

After speaking, Alba fell silent again. This time, Lyon wasn't in a hurry to speak, but Alba's words made him feel uncomfortable.

"You are not Su Yue." This sentence stung Lyon. For a victor who was about to cast Su Yue into the Abyss, it was a provocation.

Just as Lyon's heart burned with anger, Alba suddenly spoke again, "Even if I get the nuclear warheads now, they'd be a hot potato. Forget it, no matter who you are, I'm not doing this deal."

After speaking, Alba hung up the phone. Lyon was stunned; he never expected such an outcome. He had been full of confidence, thinking this deal was a sure thing.

He angrily slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "Damn it!"

However, Lyon was not discouraged by this. For him, the nuclear warheads were just the icing on the cake. Alba wasn't the only arms dealer in the world. His ultimate goal was to defeat Su Yue.

Since things had developed to this point, his second step of the plan should begin. He thought to himself, "Su Yue, I really look forward to your next move."

...

February 21st, early morning. Although Su Yue had been in meetings all day, he didn't feel tired, but he was now at a loss. He knew well that there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing everything behind the scenes.

The outbreak of the easter eggs, the timing of the reveal, and the theft of the nuclear warheads... the connection between these three made Su Yue certain that someone was playing tricks behind his back.

He lay in bed, no longer strategizing, but instead began to ponder who this mastermind behind the scenes could be.

"If there really is such a person, what is his purpose in stealing the nuclear warheads? Is he targeting me?"

Just then, Su Yue's phone suddenly rang. He frowned as he looked, and the moment he picked up the phone, his pupils sharply contracted!

"This is..."

He gritted his teeth. On the phone screen was a text message from an unknown number, containing only one word: "Run!"

Immediately after, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the Security Bureau. The lights in Su Yue's room also turned on automatically. He looked at everything before him, his heart jolted!

"What on earth happened? Has my identity been exposed? Who did it? Was it Liu Longshi? He... damn it!"

These thoughts flashed rapidly through Su Yue's mind. But he didn't hesitate; he knew he had to escape the Security Bureau as quickly as possible!

He violently pushed open the door and sprinted down the corridor of the Security Bureau. The entire Security Bureau was enveloped in red alarm lights; the situation was extremely critical!

When the alarm suddenly sounded, everyone in the Security Bureau was naturally startled by the abrupt noise. For someone like Gao Xiang, who was still busy, he reacted even faster than the alarm System. An urgent message popped up on his internal communication device: "Su Yue's identity has been confirmed, hidden within the Security Bureau under the alias Feng Chuan. Proceed with immediate arrest."

This message greatly surprised Gao Xiang, but he didn't hesitate at all. He abruptly stood up and rushed out of the room like an arrow shot from a bow, heading straight for "Feng Chuan" - which was Su Yue's hiding place.

"It was him!" Gao Xiang was inwardly horrified. "Feng Chuan... he actually snuck in again! How is this possible? How on earth did he do it?"

Although his heart was filled with shock, Gao Xiang also knew that Su Yue would not be able to escape from the Security Bureau building this time. All exits were sealed; even running to the door would be futile. The current task was to quickly control Su Yue's area, gradually narrow down his range of activity, and finally capture him in one swoop.

Rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor. Gao Xiang and A Qi arrived at Feng Chuan's room almost simultaneously.

"Which way did he come from?" Gao Xiang asked A Qi doubtfully.

A Qi shook his head, "Didn't see Su Yue. He might still be in the room."

Both men looked serious. A Qi gripped the doorknob tightly, shook it hard a few times, and then slammed into the door.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the door swayed precariously under the violent impact.

"Bang! Bang!" There were a few more loud crashes.

"Clang!" Finally, the door was completely knocked open and fell to the ground.

A Qi lunged into the room and turned on all the lights. However, the room was empty; Su Yue was already gone without a trace.

Seeing A Qi shake his head regretfully, Gao Xiang's expression wasn't too bad. He seemed to have anticipated such a result. He immediately called Liu Longshi, requesting permission for the monitoring room to activate the facial recognition System.

"No matter how skilled Su Yue's disguise is, he can't fool the computer's eyes," Liu Longshi said. "Xia Qing Tree is heading to the monitoring room. You must secure the scene well."

Gao Xiang didn't notice the strangeness in Liu Longshi's tone. At this moment, he was fully focused on pursuing Su Yue. He quickly informed A Qi of the situation, and the two divided the work. Gao Xiang was responsible for coordinating from the center, while A Qi went to guard the first floor.

"As long as we take over the monitors, Su Yue can forget about playing this game of hide-and-seek," Gao Xiang took a deep breath, his heart filled with confidence. He didn't know how Su Yue's identity was exposed, but since it was on the Security Bureau's territory, Su Yue couldn't possibly escape.

Not long after, Xia Qing Tree's voice came from the phone: "Xia Qing Tree has arrived at the monitoring room and is taking over the monitoring console. Currently, there is no trace of Su Yue."

Gao Xiang wasn't anxious. He firmly believed that Su Yue was in a dead end this time. As long as Su Yue appeared under the cameras, he would definitely be discovered. And if he didn't appear, he couldn't leave this building.

"Su Yue, Su Yue, this time you can't escape even with wings!" Gao Xiang thought to himself.

Meanwhile, the first floor of the Security Bureau was on high alert. The agents were all armed and ready, staring intently at the elevator that was slowly descending. However, when the elevator doors slowly opened, the figure who appeared was Liu Longshi.

He was wearing a sharp suit and frowned as he looked at the guns pointed at him. Then, he walked towards the agents without stopping and sternly reprimanded them, "What are you all doing? Would Su Yue be stupid enough to take the elevator to the first floor to walk into a trap? Keep a close eye on all fire escapes and underground electrical shafts!"

Upon hearing this, the agents looked ashamed and quickly acted according to Liu Longshi's instructions. A tense and orderly pursuit operation was quietly unfolding within the Security Bureau.

As Gao Xiang was deep in thought about Su Yue's whereabouts, A Qi's figure appeared before him again.

"What's wrong, Kang Team?" Gao Xiang looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

A Qi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the interior of the room, and asked, "How is the situation? Haven't found Su Yue yet?"

Gao Xiang frowned, not answering directly, but instead asked in return, "Kang Team, didn't you say you were going to the first floor? Why are you back?"

A Qi was startled for a moment and explained, "I was planning to go, but I met Officer Liu in the elevator. He said he would go to the first floor to command and told me to come back and assist you."

Gao Xiang narrowed his eyes, stared at A Qi for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Then who was the person who rushed in with me just now?"

A Qi looked bewildered, "Rushed in with you? I don't know, who rushed in with you?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of sudden realization and anger appeared in Gao Xiang's eyes: "Damn it! The person who rushed in with me just now was actually Su Yue!"

This result made Gao Xiang feel incredible. He never expected Su Yue to be so audacious, daring to disguise himself as A Qi and escape right under his nose.

His heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment. Why would Su Yue choose this counterintuitive method? Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?

However, the most important thing now was that Su Yue had not yet left the Security Bureau, and there was still room to remedy the situation.

Gao Xiang quickly adjusted his mindset and said to A Qi before him, "Anyway, the current situation is still favorable for us. This is the Security Bureau; Su Yue can't run even if he wants to."

Meanwhile, in the underground electrical shaft, Liu Longshi was moving forward with difficulty, accompanied by a few agents.

"Officer, if Su Yue really escaped from here, he should leave some traces, right?" an agent couldn't help but ask.

Liu Longshi's voice was calm and firm: "What you are thinking is exactly what Su Yue hopes for. He is only one person, making it easy to hide, while we have many people, making it easy to search. Therefore, we cannot miss any possible opportunity."

Although the agent didn't fully agree, he didn't dare to disobey the order and could only continue moving forward.

However, as he walked, this agent suddenly felt something was wrong. He abruptly turned back and found that Liu Longshi, who was originally following behind him, was gone!

"Officer?" he called out tentatively, but the only response was silence and darkness.

His heart skipped a beat. He quickly used his flashlight to illuminate the way he came, only to find no one behind him.

"Officer!?" he shouted in panic, "Officer Liu is missing! Su Yue is very likely in the electrical shaft!"

The other agents also panicked and shone their flashlights around. However, the width of the electrical shaft was limited, and the flashlight beams could only illuminate a limited area.

"Quick! Go back and check!" They made up their minds and turned back along the original path.

At this moment, a hint of foreboding also welled up in Gao Xiang's heart. He looked at A Qi and asked, "Kang Team, what exactly did Officer Liu say when you met him?"

A Qi recalled for a moment and said, "He said he was going to the first floor to command and told me to come find you..."

Saying this, he suddenly stopped and stared at Gao Xiang with wide eyes, "No way? Could it be..."

Looking at the changing expression on Gao Xiang's face, a sense of foreboding immediately rose in A Qi's heart. Gao Xiang himself wasn't sure if his inner guess was true, but he decided to verify it immediately.

He called Liu Longshi again, while also gesturing for A Qi to go find Liu Longshi first. A Qi didn't ask further and immediately ran towards the passage. However, Gao Xiang's call went unanswered for a long time, which made the unease in his heart grow stronger.

Suddenly, Gao Xiang thought of something. He quickly walked towards Feng Chuan's room while observing the changes in his phone signal. When he stood outside the room, the signal strength changed significantly. At this moment, he understood something. He called Liu Longshi again, and this time the call actually connected.

"Have you caught Su Yue?" Liu Longshi's voice came through.

Gao Xiang didn't answer directly, but instead asked in return, "Officer, did Xia Qing Tree go to the monitoring room?"

Liu Longshi's silence made Gao Xiang instantly understand everything. It turned out that from the moment A Qi appeared, all of this was a carefully planned act by Su Yue!

He took a deep breath and asked, "Officer, where are you now?"

Liu Longshi answered truthfully but was puzzled by Gao Xiang's question. Gao Xiang said helplessly, "Su Yue disguised himself as you, and I suspect he has already escaped."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Longshi was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "He actually disguised himself as me? That's a bit interesting." Then, he changed the subject, "Increase the search efforts, Gao Xiang. Su Yue hiding in the Security Bureau is extremely disadvantageous to us; we must find him as soon as possible."

Gao Xiang was a bit bewildered; he didn't understand why Liu Longshi was so calm. But the call had been hung up, and he could only start reviewing the entire incident.

He remembered "A Qi" rushing over and then rushing to try and break into the room. It turned out that the door might not have been locked at all; Su Yue was just acting. He used this method to lure Gao Xiang into the room, then activated electromagnetic signal interference, making Gao Xiang mistakenly believe he was talking to Liu Longshi.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Su Yue's schemes were truly interconnected, making them impossible to guard against. He disguised himself as A Qi, then disguised himself as Liu Longshi, and just like that, he strutted out of the Security Bureau.

And at this moment, Gao Xiang's heart was filled with doubt. Did Liu Longshi truly not know about Su Yue's plan? Why was Feng Chuan's real identity not detected by anyone? Was there an unknown deal between Su Yue and Liu Longshi?

Meanwhile, in the underground electrical shaft, Su Yue had cleverly evaded the agents' search and left the Security Bureau as Liu Longshi. He knew well that this was just the beginning; the real challenges were still ahead.

Walking on the sidewalk, Su Yue hurried his pace. He knew in his heart that because of that nuclear warhead, the United States, China, and even the entire world would launch a manhunt for him.

"Time is tight," he thought to himself, "I must act quickly!"

For Su Yue, many certain factors in his original plan had now become full of variables. He knew well that he must quickly find the mastermind hidden behind the scenes controlling everything. Otherwise, his entire plan would be ruined, and he himself would fall into the predicament of a global manhunt, which was something he absolutely could not accept.
