"Speak, what are your demands!" Gao Xiang looked at the person in front of him, confirming he was Su Yue.

"Don't involve others!" Su Yue knew Gao Xiang had realized his identity and smiled slightly.

"Director, Bourne... Bourne is gone!" Gao Xiang couldn't understand how the person who had been guarding downstairs had suddenly disappeared. "What happened? Weren't you together? You only came to me after something like this happened?" Gao Xiang stared intently at the window, as if trying to pull Su Yue over.

"Gao Xiang, do you know what kind of person you are cooperating with now?" Xiao Xiao spoke slowly.

"Why are you here?" Gao Xiang didn't expect Xiao Xiao to appear here. How could this operation suddenly become so strange?

"I found out, the last terrorist attack was planned by the Central Intelligence Agency! You are still being kept in the dark!" Xiao Xiao looked at Gao Xiang with disappointment.

"What are you talking about? I'm about to catch Su Yue! Do you know that Su Yue is in that building, in Wang Linlin's psychological counseling room! You are delaying time now, do you know that?" Gao Xiang couldn't see the situation on Su Yue's side through the screen now.

He had to contact Lyon: "Keep a close eye on the upstairs. Once someone appears, don't kill them! But don't let him move around!" He absolutely couldn't let Su Yue escape this opportunity again.

"Get up quickly, I need to go over!" Gao Xiang said, wanting to leave.

"You don't even know that you are playing with fire now! You are very likely to become a sacrifice, do you know that?" Xiao Xiao saw that Gao Xiang didn't care about what he was saying.

"Don't you want to catch Su Yue? Why don't you come with me!" Gao Xiang stomped his feet anxiously, but he couldn't attack Xiao Xiao.

"The organization instructed by the Central Intelligence Agency bombed the North Chao Embassy and also attacked the candidate!" As soon as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, the others didn't even dare to breathe, looking at her in disbelief.

"You have to be responsible for what you say, do you know what you are saying now!" Gao Xiang didn't expect Xiao Xiao to dare to say anything.

"There are many Central Intelligence Agency personnel here!" Gao Xiang reminded Xiao Xiao.

"Of course I know there are many Central Intelligence Agency personnel here, which is why I must speak. You are now very likely to become sacrifices in a political game, you will become the scapegoats who bear the blame!" Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at Gao Xiang, seeing that he was finally listening properly.

"What do you mean by this?" Gao Xiang looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion.

"I was in charge of the North Chao Embassy case. After tracking it, I found that the organization that attacked the candidate before and the organization that bombed the North Chao Embassy were the same! And they were acting on orders from the Central Intelligence Agency!" Xiao Xiao directly told Gao Xiang her findings.

"You are indeed tracking Su Yue, but once this matter is exposed, you will be the first one pushed out. James has a good plan!" Xiao Xiao remembered James's appearance and wished she could kill him immediately.

"What do you mean? I am a scapegoat now?" Gao Xiang frowned. She understood why the Central Intelligence Agency was so half-hearted in searching for that organization.

Gao Xiang finally understood why Xiao Xiao insisted on stopping him. His current situation was like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to protect himself, yet he was still foolishly chasing Su Yue here!

"There is collusion between the Central Intelligence Agency and the candidate. To help their candidate get into power, they planned those two cases. But I don't understand, why would they bomb their own people?" Gao Xiang was confused by this method.

"I was confused at first too, but after investigation, I found that the candidate originally giving a speech in downtown Washington D.C. was Nep, and Deng Liduō only temporarily decided to change the speech location that evening. They might have initially intended to frame Deng Liduō, but Deng Liduō changed locations, and the Central Intelligence Agency couldn't let the candidate be harmed, so..." Xiao Xiao didn't continue, but Gao Xiang already understood her meaning.

Gao Xiang suddenly realized. No wonder the Central Intelligence Agency found him at the beginning, it turned out he was their backup plan from the start! Gao Xiang was now completely clear-headed.

"Then how does North Korea plan to respond?" Gao Xiang began to consider his own situation. He had to find a way to clear himself, otherwise, if something happened, it would implicate China.

"A good scheme!" Gao Xiang sincerely sighed.

After Su Yue tied Ethan in the room, he went down to find Wang Linlin, only to find that she hadn't gone downstairs at all but had been waiting for him outside the door.

"How about you? Are you okay?" Wang Linlin looked at Su Yue anxiously, carefully checking if he was injured, afraid he would be hurt again.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine. Let's go, let's eat!" Su Yue smiled and led Wang Linlin downstairs.

"But won't they have an ambush outside?" Wang Linlin was worried about Su Yue's safety and preferred to stay here.

"Don't worry, with me here, what are you afraid of! Let's go, let's eat hot pot!" Su Yue smiled and led Wang Linlin downstairs, glancing at the time. Xiao Xiao had arrived just in time. If Xiao Xiao hadn't come, Lyon would have disappeared tonight, but Lyon's role was still very important.

Fortunately, his timing was correct.

Su Yue confidently led Wang Linlin to a hot pot restaurant in Chinatown. For a long time, Wang Linlin hadn't asked about Su Yue's true identity, and even here, she kept her head down and ate.

"Wang Linlin, I am..." Just as Su Yue was about to reveal his identity, Wang Linlin stuffed food into his mouth, blocking his words.

"Don't say anything, eat first!" Only then did Su Yue see that Wang Linlin's eyes were full of tears, looking pitiful. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy about something?" Su Yue really couldn't understand why she suddenly started crying.

"I don't just want to eat hot pot with you once, I want to eat hot pot with you many times!" Wang Linlin said, biting her lip. No one knew how desperate she was when she couldn't find Su Yue, no one knew how worried she was about Su Yue's safety when she first arrived here. She didn't want Su Yue to know any of this, she just wanted Su Yue to eat well and eat the next meal with her properly.

"You recognized me a long time ago!" Su Yue understood the meaning behind Wang Linlin's words, but his mission was not yet complete! He couldn't drag Wang Linlin down with him. Although today's events were within his calculations, what if there were others? What should he do then?

"Your eyes, your expression when you're drunk, I will never forget!" Wang Linlin wiped away her tears and returned to her smiling appearance.

"Try this, it's not as good as ours!" Wang Linlin inadvertently mentioned China.

"I promised you, I will definitely do it!" Su Yue hadn't forgotten his promise to Wang Linlin to return to Guangzhou with her.

"I know, I've always believed in you!" Wang Linlin added a lot of food to Su Yue's plate.

This battle today was worth it. After Su Yue returned, he kept updating the chessboard in his mind. Now this chessboard was like clear water, which Su Yue had finally stirred up.

However, until now, no one knew Su Yue's true purpose! Everyone was being led by the nose by Su Yue, and Su Yue's crucial step was at the final stage of closing the net.

Everything will surface.

"You mean, our relationship with the candidate has been discovered?" James stood in front of his desk, listening to Ethan's report. "What's going on with this Xiao Xiao? Go investigate immediately!"

"But, now Gao Xiang and Lyon have completely disappeared, we seem to have lost control!" Ethan had always known James's plan, so he cooperated well with Gao Xiang's instructions during the operation. But who would have thought that things would develop to this point.

North Korea personnel had already arrived in the United States, and the scapegoat had been prepared long ago, but at this moment, it stopped working. It wasn't that James hadn't thought his plan might be exposed; he had found a scapegoat early on.

Gao Xiang and Lyon were his choices. Releasing Lyon was not simply to catch Su Yue, but also for his own political career.

"All the candidates are gone now! What should we do? Bourne... Bourne is also gone!" Ethan hadn't mentioned this before, fearing that James would be even more angry. But until now, the communication light for Bourne in his hand hadn't lit up; he had no other choice but to speak up.

"Bourne can't be found, so he must have been captured! Either by Gao Xiang or by the Xiao Xiao you mentioned!" James took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to calm himself down. "What should we do if they plan to make this public and they already have evidence! What should we do!"

James paced back and forth around his desk.

"I've got it, I know what to do!" James knew it was impossible to evade responsibility now; he had completely lost the advantage and the initiative. Now he had to find a backer.

"Go contact Deng Liduō now! Go get in touch with Deng Liduō immediately!" James planned to push the new scapegoat out. Candidate, you take this blame!

James had made up his mind and immediately began to act.

"When the North Korea personnel arrive, notify me immediately, and I will go to the scene to welcome them!" James had to resist the accountability from North Korea, so as long as the public opinion didn't spread within the United States, he would be fine!

Thinking of this, James quickly arranged his time; he couldn't waste any more time.

Meanwhile, Gao Xiang and Lyon were with Xiao Xiao.

After Su Yue sent Wang Linlin home, it suddenly started raining.

"Why don't you just stay at my place for the night?" It wasn't that Wang Linlin didn't have an umbrella; she just hoped to spend more time with Su Yue.

"But... aren't you afraid they might find you here?" Su Yue was worried that Wang Linlin would fall into the predicament of being monitored because of this, and he didn't want to make her feel awkward.

"Those things don't matter to me, let's go inside first!" Wang Linlin said, bringing Su Yue a cup of hot water. "Drink some hot water to drive away the cold. If you don't want to stay here, it's okay."

Su Yue looked at the steam rising from the water cup, and a sense of satisfaction inexplicably surged in his heart.

"You don't need to worry about me, go rest first!" Su Yue said to Wang Linlin with a smile.

"The bathroom is on the right side of the room, the bedroom is in front, there's food in the refrigerator, just take it if you want to eat, it's okay!" Wang Linlin gave Su Yue a deep look, then returned to her room.

She really didn't know if she would ever see Su Yue again.

In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Nep didn't know who was calling him so late at night.

"Hello there, terrorist leader Nep!" On the other end of the phone, Su Yue didn't hide his voice and spoke directly.

"You... what are you talking about!" Nep was startled when he heard Su Yue's words and quickly denied it.

"Oh, I said it wrong, it should be the brother of the terrorist leader, Mr. Nep, hello!" Su Yue changed his wording.

"What do you want? Just say it!" Nep was flustered. Not many people knew about this, and now this person suddenly called him. Could it be... wanting...

"I want too much, you can't give it now!" Su Yue's voice was full of disdain.

"I am currently in the general election, you must know that not only the Central Intelligence Agency is supporting me, but ** are also my people! My chances of winning are very high! I can definitely give you what you want!" Nep tried his best to keep the person on the other end of the phone.

"Is that so? Is your team really that loyal to you?" Su Yue hung up the phone after saying this.

Nep couldn't calm down. This phone call was a blatant threat to him. He had to find his brother; only by finding him could he solve this problem!

So, Nep drove to the Central Intelligence Agency.

"Where is James?" Nep didn't expect to be refused entry when he stood outside James's office door. He suddenly remembered the sentence on the phone, "Is your team really that loyal to you?"

"What is James doing now? Why aren't they letting us in?" Nep's face was extremely grim.

"Sorry, sir, we cannot answer your question." The officers standing at the door looked awkward, exchanging glances, at a loss.

"Please let Mr. Nep in!" Only then did James's voice come through. It wasn't that James didn't want to open the door immediately, it was just that he had finally fallen asleep only to be told that the candidate had arrived.

"What? Mr. James, it seems we can't continue cooperating now?" Nep looked at James with a cold face, already suspicious of him.

"Mr. Nep, what are you saying? Have I done anything to make you dissatisfied? Those words are really too hurtful!" James's mind raced. He absolutely couldn't let Nep know that he had contacted the North Korea envoy. If Nep knew that he had privately contacted the North Chao Embassy, he would definitely investigate him.

Then he would lose the initiative.

The two sat on the sofa, each with their own thoughts, testing each other's expressions and attitudes back and forth.

"Ring, ring!" The phone suddenly rang, and James frowned. It was already three in the morning; how could there suddenly be a phone call! Today was really too...

"What? If it's inconvenient for Mr. James to answer the phone, I can leave first!" Nep no longer trusted James at all; he had been playing tai chi, not sharing any useful information with him.

"It's just too late, isn't it? I never handle work at night!" James was determined not to answer the phone; this call was a variable in the current situation.

He couldn't let it disrupt his plan.
