659: Who will win?
"You're not too stupid," Su Yue thought the Captain was a sensible person when he was in the band. The others were just there for the fun, but the Captain had his own ideas after discovering the organization's connection to the Central Intelligence Agency.
He wanted to leave the organization but was also worried about the safety of the entire band. The current situation was actually a result of Su Yue's actions.
That organization was definitely a pawn; the Tattoo Man might still have some value, but the others would just become sacrifices in their mutual game. This was the "coffee" Su Yue gave them.
"Can you still contact members of the organization now?" Xiao Xiao had a bold idea – to take down the entire organization in one swoop.
"We can't contact people in the organization individually, but we have a celebration party tonight! Do we have to stay here now?" The band Captain told Xiao Xiao everything he knew without any reservations. Perhaps only the people in front of him could guarantee the safety of their band.
"Why do you want to stay here?" Xiao Xiao thought the person in front of her wasn't foolish.
"I have to guarantee their safety! And that musician from our band, if you catch him during tonight's operation, just lock him up with us." Su Yue didn't expect the band Captain to be so responsible, putting everyone's safety first.
"No problem, if you stay here, we can guarantee your safety! Are you sure tonight's operation is correct?" Xiao Xiao asked tentatively.
"Absolutely!" The band Captain answered firmly.
At this moment, Su Yue stood on the mountaintop, the chessboard in his mind entering a critical phase. The advantage in votes didn't mean everything was over; there were still more things to consider.
"You mean I'm involved in an attack?" Zheng Tiantian stared at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Xiao Xiao nodded, "That's right."
"Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't cooperate. After all, your current identity isn't exactly glamorous either." Zheng Tiantian smiled calmly.
"I don't have evidence, but I want to tell you that Su Yue once performed downstairs from you, do you believe it?" Xiao Xiao knew that Zheng Tiantian's weakness was Su Yue, and also knew there must be a reason she could contact the band's bassist. She could only use Su Yue to probe Zheng Tiantian.
"Miss Tang, don't you know what major I studied? If you need psychological help, we can sit down and talk properly. But if you insist on doing this and making me uncomfortable, then I think I'll have to ask you to leave." Zheng Tiantian had been immersed in psychology for many years and saw through Xiao Xiao's intentions at a glance.
The smile on Xiao Xiao's face gradually froze; she really didn't expect this woman to be so difficult to deal with. "Since Miss Zheng says so, I have nothing more to say. We'll be leaving now."
Su Yue lowered his head and ate ice cream on the street; it seemed some people were already impatient.
Gao Xiang had been staying with Lyon, aiming to reach an agreement on dealing with Su Yue together. But Lyon had been uncooperative, which made this favored son of heaven very unhappy.
"Although Su Yue tricked me last time, we weren't like you, whose gun barrel exploded!" Gao Xiang said mockingly.
"Heh, do you think that will make me cooperate with you?" Lyon's eyes were full of disdain. He had been in the hospital for so long and had almost fully recovered, thanks to his good physical fitness.
"Of course, you can choose not to cooperate. But do you have anyone else you can cooperate with now?" Gao Xiang knew that the current Lyon was at the end of his rope; the Central Intelligence Agency had no time to spare here, as everyone was focused on the election.
Only they were still fixated on this matter.
"How do you want to do it?" Lyon finally asked the question.
"Of course, by using that move from our military strategy!" Gao Xiang already had a plan in mind, but this plan clearly required Lyon's cooperation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been lingering here with Lyon for so long.
After listening to Gao Xiang's entire plan, Lyon nodded in approval, believing it was a precise strike against Su Yue.
"Why do you think this bombing incident was planned by Su Yue?" Lyon's attitude towards Gao Xiang changed from disdain to approval.
"I've clashed with him many times; Su Yue is meticulous in his work and leaves almost no trace. If we only focus on details, it's hard to find evidence; we must start from the beginning and sort things out." Gao Xiang planned to introduce Su Yue to Lyon in detail.
"When I first arrived here, I had an encounter with him at a United States hotel, and that humiliation made me feel utterly ashamed. From then on, I made up my mind that I would never miss any opportunity when I saw him again. It can be said that Su Yue set up the trap from the very beginning." Gao Xiang only figured this out a long time after the incident.
"What happened after that?" Lyon was gradually drawn in by Gao Xiang's words.
"After that, we couldn't find any trace of Su Yue for a long time, and we kept the focus of our search near the hotel, centering on him, and Chinatown is near the hotel." Gao Xiang analyzed afterwards.
"You mean the exposure of Chinatown was intentional by Su Yue?" Lyon pressed.
"That's right, this was Su Yue's scheme. But his focus wasn't here." Gao Xiang then revealed Su Yue's crucial step, "Most importantly, he led us to Washington Street 309 through our encirclement in Chinatown, where he successfully got rid of us."
"Central Intelligence Agency?" Lyon's thoughts followed closely with Gao Xiang's narrative.
"Yes, Su Yue just needed to expose this matter, and the Central Intelligence Agency wouldn't be able to concentrate on finding him, so he could continue to be at large."
"Then what exactly happened with the bombing incident?" This was the part Lyon had never understood.
"This is also where I was always misled. If this wasn't done by him, you wouldn't have gone out and gotten injured during that time. But why the North Korea Embassy exploded, I also can't figure out." Gao Xiang was very confused about this and couldn't see through Su Yue's purpose at all.
"So that's why you came up with this plan?" Lyon understood the reason for Gao Xiang explaining so much; this was the origin of the plan.
"Yes, we've always been in the open, and he's in the dark. We must find a way to lure him out, otherwise the initiative will always be in Su Yue's hands." Gao Xiang didn't want to be constrained by Su Yue anymore.
"Okay, I'll do it with you!" Lyon finally formed an alliance with Gao Xiang.
And tonight, Xiao Xiao touched upon the core she had never reached before.
The Tattoo Man and the others drank and partied until two in the morning, and Xiao Xiao and her group easily captured them and brought them into the North Korea Embassy.
"Aren't you going to confess?" Xiao Xiao asked the Tattoo Man.
"What do I have to confess?" The Tattoo Man stared at Xiao Xiao's face, even wanting to reach out and touch her.
"Dare to do but not dare to admit? Aren't you too cowardly!" Xiao Xiao looked at the Tattoo Man with a half-smile.
"Why wouldn't I dare to admit it?" The Tattoo Man didn't care about the consequences of his actions at all.

"Isn't it just these two bombing incidents? I did it! So what!" The Tattoo Man raised an eyebrow and said to Xiao Xiao.
"It's not that I'm saying this, but with just a few of you, you'd have to be in two places at the same time to commit the crimes. Don't falsely admit to crimes that aren't yours, you need to have the ability to do that." Seeing that the provocation worked, Xiao Xiao quickly continued to apply pressure.
"Who said we had to look after two places at the same time? We weren't responsible for the candidate's place at all, it was just something they asked us to do." The Tattoo Man inadvertently revealed the details with this sentence.
It seemed the band members were right, where did that black man go? Xiao Xiao always remembered what the band Captain said, his team member wanted to be with him.
"He didn't come!" The Tattoo Man's face turned ugly as soon as Xiao Xiao mentioned the others.
"Imprison him, this case isn't over yet." Xiao Xiao felt that things seemed to be getting a little out of control.
According to the information obtained, this organization was directly influenced by the Central Intelligence Agency. But according to the Tattoo Man, one of the two simultaneous cases didn't require them to control it, meaning they were only responsible for planting the bombs, and others were responsible for the aftermath.
Was there someone responsible for the aftermath at the North Korea Embassy?
Xiao Xiao kept recalling the scene that day; after the bomb exploded, although no one was injured, the North Korea Embassy was almost unusable. Now that the Tattoo Man was imprisoned, at least North Korea's face was guaranteed.
Could it be that attacking the candidate was instructed by the Central Intelligence Agency? But why?
Xiao Xiao couldn't figure this out! Why would they attack their own people? Someone was responsible for the aftermath, so they wouldn't be in danger. Xiao Xiao immediately ordered an investigation.
"Send me all the information about the bomb attack on the candidate that day!"
This matter couldn't end here. Su Yue had been lurking in the convenience store downstairs from Zheng Tiantian for a long time; he could get information from there. If they were unwilling to be played like this, they would definitely take action against him.
But now his whereabouts were unpredictable, while Zheng Tiantian's whereabouts were easy to grasp.
"Hello," Zheng Tiantian handed all the things in her hand to Su Yue. Since she found his eyes familiar the day before yesterday, she came here to buy things on time every night.
"Okay, that's 20 dollars in total!" Su Yue replied. His disguise shouldn't be so easily seen through, right? For some reason, Zheng Tiantian's eyes always made Su Yue feel a little guilty.
"Do you have time tomorrow noon?" Zheng Tiantian asked casually.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Zheng Tiantian's continuous visits for many days made it impossible for Su Yue to keep a straight face and not answer.
"We have a gathering tomorrow noon, but there aren't many people, so we wanted to invite you to liven things up." Zheng Tiantian said in a gentle tone, her words full of irresistible charm.
"Um... okay! I should be free tomorrow noon." Su Yue finally agreed.
"Then it's settled! I'll wait for you tomorrow!" Zheng Tiantian smiled and went upstairs.
"Ah, this little girl, there's really nothing I can do about her!" Su Yue continued to sort out his affairs. And Lyon and Gao Xiang's plan was about to begin.
The next day.
"Come up quickly and help us prepare!" Zheng Tiantian went downstairs to call Su Yue.
Su Yue was helpless and could only put down what he was doing and follow Zheng Tiantian upstairs.
"We prepared a lot of delicious food today, and I even brought our country's special hot pot; you must have never tasted it!" Zheng Tiantian said enthusiastically to Su Yue.
"I haven't been to your country yet, this is my first time going abroad." Su Yue was currently playing the role of the North Korean Cui Minhe.
"That's great, just in time for you to try our food." Saying that, Zheng Tiantian pulled Su Yue into the elevator.
"What's going on?" Zheng Tiantian had only gone downstairs to find Cui Minhe for a short while, and everyone in the psychological counseling room was gone, and the floor was in a mess.
"What happened?" Cui Minhe stepped forward and began to clean up the things on the floor. He just moved his hands, but how could things be so coincidental? Su Yue thought to himself, planning to take Zheng Tiantian downstairs first.
"Hold on, you want to leave just like that?" Ethan walked out from the inner room. "You want to leave so easily? What do you take us for?" Ethan didn't expect the target of this mission to be so beautiful.
"You are trespassing, and we have the right to sue you!" Cui Minhe instinctively shielded Zheng Tiantian behind him.
"Heh... kid, I can kill you here, believe it?" Ethan pulled out his gun and pointed it at Su Yue's head. "You're the first person who hasn't pissed their pants under the muzzle! Just for that, I won't kill you today, get lost!" After saying that, Ethan put down his gun.
Su Yue seized the opportunity, turned around, grabbed the gun, and pinned Ethan to the ground. "I advise you, let go of me now, otherwise, I'll let you try it!" Ethan didn't expect to be ambushed, and in such a pathetic position, being stepped on the ground.
"Hurry!" Su Yue expected they might make a plan against him, but they used Zheng Tiantian, which Su Yue couldn't tolerate.
"You're not the only one in this operation, are you?" Su Yue asked tentatively.
"What does it matter to you? You'd better let go of me now, or I can't guarantee your safety!" Ethan threatened fiercely.
"Heh, it's not your place to talk here!" Su Yue quickly observed the surroundings and locked onto the window. "Hello, leaders of the Central Intelligence Agency! Why are you persecuting a girl from China?"
Gao Xiang looked at the person in front of him and responded through the microphone, "You let her go, why would we arrest that woman?" Gao Xiang stared intently at Cui Minhe on the screen, constantly doubting if this was Su Yue.
"You know what you're doing! This person seems very important, doesn't she?" Su Yue turned back and told Zheng Tiantian to go to the convenience store downstairs and not linger upstairs.
"But what about you?" Zheng Tiantian didn't want to leave like this; she was very worried about Cui Minhe.
"I'm fine, I'll find you, go down quickly!" Su Yue pointed the gun at the camera on the ceiling.
With a "bang," the screen connected to Gao Xiang and Lyon's side went dark.
"What are you doing?" Gao Xiang looked at Cui Minhe in surprise; this camera was placed in a position they had precisely calculated, yet the person in front of him easily found it and destroyed it.
"What am I doing? Your moral bottom line seems to be lower than the limit!" Su Yue indirectly reminded him not to abandon the principles he had always adhered to just to pursue himself; it wasn't worth it.
