"Tell me, what are your demands!" Gao Xiang looked at the person in front of him and confirmed it 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 didn't expect the person who had been guarding downstairs to suddenly disappear. "What happened? Weren't you together? You only came to find 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 people you are working with now?" Xiao Xiao spoke slowly.

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

"I found out that the last terrorist attack was orchestrated by the Central Intelligence Agency! You are still 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 Su Yue is in that building, in Wang Linlin's psychological counseling room! You are delaying time, understand?" Gao Xiang couldn't see Su Yue's situation through the screen now.

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

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

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

"Don't you want to catch Su Yue? Why don't you come with me!" Gao Xiang was so anxious he was stomping his feet, but he couldn't make a move against 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 couldn't even breathe, looking at her in disbelief.

"You need to be responsible for what you say, do you know what you're talking about!" Gao Xiang didn't expect Xiao Xiao to dare say anything.

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

"Of course I know there are many Central Intelligence Agency people here, that's why I need to say it even more. You are now very likely to become sacrifices in a political game, you will become scapegoats to bear the blame!" Xiao Xiao saw that Gao Xiang was starting to listen properly now and rolled her eyes at him.

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

"I was in charge of the North Chao Embassy case, and after tracking it, I found that the organization that previously attacked the candidate and the organization that bombed the North Chao Embassy are the same! And they are following orders from the Central Intelligence Agency!" Xiao Xiao directly told Gao Xiang about her findings.

"It's true that you are tracking Su Yue, but once this matter is exposed, you will be the first one to be pushed out. Mr. James is playing a good game!" Xiao Xiao wanted to kill Mr. James immediately when she thought of how he looked.

"You mean? I'm the scapegoat now?" Gao Xiang frowned tightly. She understood why the Central Intelligence Agency was so half-hearted when searching for that organization.

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

"There is collusion between the Central Intelligence Agency and the candidate. They planned those two cases to support their candidate's rise to power. But I don't understand, why would they bomb their own people?" Gao Xiang was confused by this tactic.

"I was also confused at first, but after investigation, I found that the candidate originally scheduled to speak in downtown Washington D.C. was Nep, and Deng Liduō only temporarily decided to change the speech location that evening. They might have initially wanted to frame Deng Liduō, but Deng Liduō changed the location, and the Central Intelligence Agency couldn't let anything happen to the candidate, so..." Xiao Xiao didn't continue, but Gao Xiang already understood what she meant.

Gao Xiang suddenly realized. No wonder the Central Intelligence Agency found him from the beginning; it turned out he was their fallback plan all along! Gao Xiang was now completely clear-headed.

"So 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 went wrong, it would implicate China.

"What a clever plan!" Gao Xiang exclaimed sincerely.

"Are you okay?" After tying Ethan up in the room, Su Yue came down to find Wang Linlin, but he didn't expect her not to come downstairs at all, but to be waiting for him outside the door.

"What 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 hotpot!" Su Yue smiled and led Wang Linlin downstairs. He glanced at the time; Xiao Xiao had arrived relatively on time. If Xiao Xiao hadn't come, Lyon would have disappeared tonight, but Lyon's role was still very important.

Fortunately, his timing was right.

Su Yue confidently led Wang Linlin to a hotpot restaurant in Chinatown. For a long time, Wang Linlin had not asked about Su Yue's true identity, and even here, she was still just lowering her head and eating.

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

"Don't talk, 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 figure out why she suddenly started crying.

"I don't just want to eat hotpot with you once, I want to eat hotpot with you many times!" Wang Linlin said, biting her lip. No one knew how desperate she was when she couldn't find Su Yue, and 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 have another meal with her properly.

"You recognized me a long time ago!" Su Yue understood the meaning behind Wang Linlin's words, but his current mission was not yet complete! He couldn't drag Wang Linlin down with him. Although what happened today was 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 resumed her smiling appearance.

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

"What I promised you, I will definitely do!" Su Yue hadn't forgotten that he had promised Wang Linlin he would return to Guangzhou with her.

"I know, I've always believed in you!" Wang Linlin added a lot more food for Su Yue.

The battle today was too worthwhile. After Su Yue returned, he kept updating the chessboard in his mind. Now, this chessboard was like a pool of clear water that Su Yue had finally muddied.

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 when he finally cast the net.

Everything will surface.

"Are you saying that the relationship between us and the candidate has been discovered?" Mr. James stood in front of his desk, listening to Ethan's report. "What's going on with this Xiao Xiao? Investigate her immediately!"

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

The North Korea people had already arrived in the United States, and the scapegoat was ready, but now they were on strike. It wasn't that Mr. James hadn't thought his plan might be exposed; he had found a scapegoat long ago.

Gao Xiang and Lyon were both his choices. Releasing Lyon wasn't just simply to catch Su Yue; it was also for his own political career.

"Now all the chosen people are gone! What should we do? Bourne... Bourne is also gone!" Ethan hadn't mentioned this because he was afraid of making Mr. James even angrier. But until now, the contact light he had with Bourne hadn't lit up. He had no other choice but to say it.

"If Bourne can't be found, then he must have been captured! It's either Gao Xiang or the Xiao Xiao you mentioned!" Mr. James kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. "If they plan to make this public, and they already have evidence, what should we do! What should we do!"

Mr. James paced back and forth around his desk.

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

"Go contact Deng Liduō now! Hurry and get in touch with Deng Liduō!" Mr. James planned to push out a new scapegoat. Candidate, you can take the blame for this!

Mr. James had made up his mind and immediately started taking action.

"Inform me immediately when the North Korea people arrive; I will go to the scene to greet them!" Mr. James had to resist the accountability from the North Korea people. This way, as long as the public opinion didn't spread within the United States, he would be fine!

Thinking of this, Mr. James quickly arranged his schedule; there was no time to waste.

Meanwhile, Gao Xiang and Lyon were with Xiao Xiao.

After Su Yue took Wang Linlin home, the sky suddenly started raining.

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

"But... aren't you afraid they'll find their way here?" Su Yue was worried that Wang Linlin would get caught in a surveillance situation because of this and was even more unwilling to make things difficult for her.

"None of that matters to me, let's go inside first!" Wang Linlin said, bringing Su Yue a cup of hot water. "Drink some hot water to ward off the cold. If you don't want to stay here, it's okay."

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

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

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

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

In the dead of night, the phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Mr. Nèipǔ didn't know who was calling him in the middle of the 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!" Mr. Nèipǔ was startled when he heard Su Yue's words and quickly denied it.

"Oh, I misspoke. It should be the terrorist leader's brother, Mr. Nèipǔ, hello!" Su Yue changed his wording.

"What do you want? Just say it!" Mr. Nèipǔ was flustered. Not many people knew about this matter. Now this person suddenly called him, could it be... wanting...

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

"I'm currently running for election, and you should know that not only is the Central Intelligence Agency supporting me, but ** are also my people! My chances of winning are very high! I can definitely give you what you want!" Mr. Nèipǔ tried his best to keep the person on the other end of the line.

"Is that so? Is your team really following you so steadfastly?" After saying this, Su Yue hung up the phone.

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

So, Mr. Nèipǔ drove to the Central Intelligence Agency.

"Where is Mr. James?" Mr. Nèipǔ didn't expect to be refused entry while standing outside Mr. James's office door. He suddenly remembered the sentence from the phone call, "Is your team really following you so steadfastly?"

"What is Mr. James doing now? Why aren't you letting us in?" Mr. Nèipǔ's face was very grim.

"Sorry, sir, we cannot answer your question." The Officer Sis standing at the door looked embarrassed, glancing at each other, unsure what to do.

"Please let Mr. Nèipǔ in!" Only then did Mr. James's voice come out. It wasn't that Mr. 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 our cooperation now?" Mr. Nèipǔ looked at Mr. James with a stern face, suspicion already rising in his heart.

"Mr. Nèipǔ, what are you saying? Have I done something that displeased you? Saying something like that is truly heartbreaking!" Mr. James's mind was racing. He absolutely couldn't let Mr. Nèipǔ know that he had contacted the North Korea envoy. If Mr. Nèipǔ knew he had privately contacted the North Chao Embassy, he would definitely investigate him.

That way, he would lose the initiative.

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

"Ding-a-ling!" The phone suddenly rang, and Mr. James frowned. It was already three in the morning; how could there be a phone call all of a sudden! Today is really too...

"What? If it's inconvenient for you to answer the phone, Mr. James, I can leave first!" Mr. Nèipǔ no longer trusted Mr. James at all. He was constantly stalling and not sharing any useful information with him.

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

He couldn't let it disrupt his plan.
