633: Public enemy!

Two hours had passed since Su Yue escaped from the Security Bureau. The agents who had entered the underground electrical well with him now knew the truth – the person they fought alongside was actually Su Yue. However, when they tried to trace their steps back, Su Yue had already vanished without a trace.

Inside the Security Bureau, an emergency meeting was being held. The meeting's theme revolved around how Su Yue had infiltrated the Security Bureau, and they needed to conduct a thorough investigation and reflection on this incident.

Liu Longshi looked solemn at the meeting, his words revealing deep concern about the current situation: "What we face Isher not just the embarrassing fact that Su Yue infiltrated us, but also public opinion pressure from around the world. We must, on one hand, resolve the nuclear bomb issue, and on the other, track Su Yue's whereabouts. I know this Isher difficult, but we have no way out. Otherwise, we will follow in the footsteps of the United States."

Liu Longshi's impassioned words resonated with many people present. However, Gao Xiang, sitting in the front row, appeared unusually calm. His thoughts drifted back to the past, recalling the question Liu Longshi asked when recruiting him: "Will you trust your teammates unconditionally?" Thinking about it now, that question seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

Coupled with Liu Longshi's repeated insistence in recent meetings that "the nuclear bomb Isher unrelated to Su Yue," and the special status of "Feng Chuan" as a translator in the team, it made Gao Xiang begin to have some ominous associations. He muttered to himself, "Could Liu Longshi be Su Yue?" Once this thought emerged, it was hard to shake off.

At this moment, Gao Xiang noticed that A Qi next to him also showed a strange expression. However, the meeting was still in progress, making conversation inconvenient. Just as Gao Xiang was thinking about how to communicate with A Qi, Liu Longshi's voice sounded again, and he began assigning tasks.

"Comrades remaining at the Security Bureau, a portion of you must fully investigate Su Yue's whereabouts. I believe that in the near future, we will launch a city-wide, and even global, manhunt for Su Yue. At the same time, we must intensify the search for the lost nuclear warhead. We now have reason to believe that Su Yue Isher the main suspect in this nuclear warhead theft incident."

Gao Xiang frowned, feeling confused by Liu Longshi's words. This clearly contradicted his previous statements. What Liu Longshi said next surprised Gao Xiang even more. He announced that the team originally tasked with dealing with the United States agents would stay, and the others were dismissed.

Only A Qi, Xiang Haitian, Hou Jiashuang, Xia Qing Tree, Tang Xiao, and others remained in the conference room. Liu Longshi scanned everyone with a solemn expression and slowly said, "My biggest fear has still come true. I am worried that Su Yue has already infiltrated our ranks."

Gao Xiang raised an eyebrow and interrupted Liu Longshi: "Are you worried about Su Yue's identity being exposed?"

Liu Longshi glanced at Gao Xiang: "I am worried that he has already become one of us. Although I have always believed in my comrades, there are many things I didn't point out before. Furthermore, the United States and the Soviet Union considered the 'Gao Xiang' from that day as their target, and that's also the problem."

Liu Longshi's explanation made Gao Xiang fall into deep thought. However, before he could think further, Liu Longshi continued: "What has happened has happened, talking more Isher useless. Your mission Isher crucial; you must ensure that the United States side does not discover Su Yue's whereabouts first. Internationally, I will issue a denial, claiming that Su Yue has never appeared at the Security Bureau."

Everyone nodded to show they understood, and then Liu Longshi left the conference room alone. A Qi and Gao Xiang exchanged a look and also left immediately.

Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union, Ajielina also received the news that Su Yue had infiltrated the Security Bureau. This news spread rapidly worldwide, reaching almost every corner of the globe within minutes. Upon hearing this news, Ajielina also had a sudden realization: the person who had restrained her in the mall that day was actually Su Yue. She couldn't help but feel a moment of daze, never having imagined she would be so close to her mission target.

Ajielina's thoughts constantly revolved around the name "Su Yue." If the person in the mall that day was truly Su Yue, then his confident and precise actions had a reasonable explanation. However, this also brought many mysteries to Ajielina.

Why did Su Yue disguise himself as Gao Xiang? What were their intentions? What was Su Yue's real purpose? Was all of this meticulously planned?

Just as Ajielina was lost in thought, a sudden phone call interrupted her. This call was the one she had long been waiting for.

"Comrade Andeva," Ajielina said, answering the phone with a serious tone.

A low male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Comrade Ajielina, you've worked hard during this time. But now, we face an even more severe challenge."

"You must understand, Comrade Ajielina, your current mission Isher no longer limited to Su Yue himself. More serious Isher the incident of the Arabasta nuclear warhead theft."

"We will engage in close cooperation with China, and you need to fully assist the China intelligence personnel in jointly tracking Su Yue's whereabouts."

"We have strong reasons to suspect that Su Yue played a key role in the nuclear warhead theft incident."

"Do you understand?"

As Ajielina's superior at the KGB, Andeva was a top head of the intelligence department. His responsibilities were not limited to intelligence work but also involved global diplomatic affairs. It was difficult for ordinary intelligence personnel to have the opportunity to communicate directly with him, which was enough to show the seriousness of the current situation.

Ajielina responded without hesitation: "Understood, sir, I will definitely give my all to complete the mission."

She didn't ask many questions, nor did she dare to ask. Her mission was simply to execute orders. As for other matters, whether they could be answered was not her primary concern.

After hanging up the phone, Ajielina's thoughts drifted back to her past training days. The training designed to suppress emotions now caused a ripple in her heart.

This strange feeling made her feel unfamiliar. Before this, she had never experienced such inexplicable emotional fluctuations.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Inside the hotel where Is Hunter was staying, three hours had passed since Su Yue's identity was exposed. Although CIA Director Philip Mark had only just hung up the phone, he called again at this moment.

"Isher," Philip Mark said directly, "Our think tank has reached a conclusion."

"The strategy most beneficial to us Isher to cooperate with China while simultaneously holding Su Yue accountable for his return to China."

"We will announce this decision to the public as soon as possible."

"Isher, this Isher our excellent opportunity, you must not miss it, do you understand?"

Philip Mark's serious tone highlighted the importance of this matter. Ever since Su Yue had a profound impact on the United States, the United States had been in a delicate state of balance. All sectors of society were trying their best to maintain this balance, fearing that any slight mistake could trigger an uncontrollable situation.

No one wanted to see such a result. And now, the exposure of Su Yue's identity had become a breakthrough, which was precisely the original mission objective for Is Hunter's "diplomatic" team coming to China.

"I understand," Is Hunter replied firmly, "We will do our utmost to apprehend Su Yue."

After Su Yue, under the identity of Zhang Qi, caused a huge uproar in the United States, he vanished without a trace. Being able to continue pursuing Su Yue was precisely what Is Hunter hoped for.

After receiving Is Hunter's affirmative reply, Philip Mark didn't say anything more and directly hung up the phone. Immediately after, a series of news reports broke out in the United States.

"Isher Su Yue a China spy? What was his real purpose in coming to the United States?"

"To sow discord between the two countries! The ugly actions of a so-called righteous person!"

"Su Yue or Zhang Qi? What exactly are his intentions?"

These news reports bombarded the American public's view like successive explosions, causing a huge sensation. Ordinary people were always full of curiosity about such inexplicable conspiracy theories, and this curiosity made them willing to believe that Su Yue had ulterior motives.

Many people selectively forgot the cause of the things "Zhang Qi" did in the United States. If not for the New York Police Department's framing, how would Su Yue have reached this point? However, none of that mattered anymore. Those who could see through the truth were unanimously regarded as Su Yue's accomplices online and subjected to endless abuse and attacks.

Such voices not only circulated in the United States but also began to spread globally. Many people started to verbally attack Su Yue.

"Su Yue Isher a schemer, no one knows what he will do next. We should raise our vigilance now..."

"We cannot allow Su Yue's actions; he Isher like an uncontrolled nuclear bomb!"

"How can such a person be restrained? If he wants to start a war, we probably won't know anything!"

Such remarks raged online. Although this trend was relatively weaker in China, many people also began to learn some inside information. Even if they didn't believe Su Yue would actually start a war, it planted a seed of doubt in their hearts.

On February 25th, the United States officially filed an accusation against China at the United Nations.

"Harboring an internationally wanted criminal and spreading unfavorable public opinion against our country..."

"We now demand that China must hand over Su Yue!"

A huge uproar was stirred up globally.

The United States' accusation against China was like a bolt from the blue, exceeding everyone's expectations. No country could have anticipated that the United States would launch such a public and direct accusation against China.

Although China had anticipated this, the fact that Su Yue had infiltrated the Hua Xia Security Bureau was indisputable. No matter how they responded, this fact could no longer be changed.

For a time, China's previous extradition order for Su Yue became invalid and instead became key evidence for the United States to provoke China.

Inside the Hua Xia Security Bureau, Liu Longshi was taking a call from his superior. The other party's voice was low and aged, carrying an air of seriousness.

"The current situation Isher very unfavorable to us," the other party said, "Although I have seen your arrangements and plans, we cannot accept this long-term impact. Especially that message Su Yue left in the movie... Are you really sure he Isher cooperating with us?"

If these words were heard by others, they would likely be shocked. Even Gao Xiang, who already had some doubts, could not have imagined that the Security Bureau would set up such a grand scheme.

The whole world, including the United States which was accusing China, absolutely did not believe there would be cooperation between the Security Bureau and Su Yue. And this was exactly the loophole that Liu Longshi and Su Yue cleverly exploited.

Su Yue's infiltration into the Security Bureau, as well as the text message received on his phone when his identity was exposed that night, were actually all planned by Liu Longshi. Although it was called cooperation, there was still some degree of struggle between the two, both openly and secretly.

For example, Liu Longshi did not know what kind of confrontation Su Yue had with the Soviet Union and United States agents in the mall; another example Isher when Gao Xiang suggested swapping identities with Feng Chuan, Liu Longshi strongly supported it...

Although these seemed insignificant, the power struggle between the two had never stopped.

At this time, Liu Longshi said to his superior: "There shouldn't be any problem with the cooperation. However, regarding Su Yue's own plan, I'm not entirely sure."

He paused briefly and then continued: "But since he can cooperate with us, it also indicates his attitude to a certain extent."

The other party remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing whether Liu Longshi's words were credible. Then, the old man spoke again: "I don't care what other dealings you have between you, Liu Longshi, you should know how severe the current situation Isher."

"I need a result; at the very least, the current crisis must be resolved, do you understand?" The old man's words revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Liu Longshi nodded and replied, "Understood."

The other party said no more, emphasized the seriousness of the problem a few times, and then hung up the phone. Liu Longshi let out a long breath, his brows tightly furrowed, his gaze empty as he looked ahead.

"Su Yue..." he murmured to himself, "What exactly are you planning? Your goal... shouldn't it be to completely clear your name? What are your intentions with this cooperation?"

Liu Longshi's heart was full of doubts, but in the face of such a large situation, he would not let minor issues affect the overall control. As a strategic talent, he possessed unique insight, especially in grasping "trends."

"No matter what..." he secretly made up his mind, "As long as the overall situation doesn't change, even if things change subsequently, there's no need to worry too much."

However, his current situation was indeed difficult. Pressure from all sides surged in like a tide, making him feel somewhat breathless. If not for his irreplaceable position, he might have been replaced long ago.

Thinking of this, a wry smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of Liu Longshi's mouth: "Just wait, there will always be a day when the clouds clear and the sun shines through."

Meanwhile, Su Yue was hiding in an almost abandoned basement. This was a safe house he had prepared for emergencies. Although the price was considerable, it was nothing to Su Yue, who possessed substantial wealth.

The basement was well-stocked with supplies, and Su Yue was currently busy searching for various information online. He knew deeply that he had fallen into someone else's trap, and to break free and turn the situation around, he had to find the mastermind behind it as soon as possible.

The computer screen in front of him displayed a dark web website. He carefully searched for information related to the nuclear warhead, but the other party's confidentiality work was extremely well done; he looked through all the messages from the relevant time period but found nothing.

However, Su Yue did not give up. He closed his eyes and began to sort through the thoughts in his mind.
