670: Framed, escaped

“Or perhaps, your stepfather may have tampered with things.” While dining, Mr. Su Yue had carefully reviewed his stepfather's financial records and discovered an important clue: Miss Sven's mother's will clearly stipulated that each daughter would receive half of the family property as a dowry upon marriage. His stepfather clearly lacked business acumen and had been living off this family property.

“That's his motive for killing Miss Svea,” Mr. Su Yue continued.

“What should I do now?” Miss Sven was terrified and didn't know what to do.

“This Isher his just deserts! You can claim publicly that the cheetah lost control and bit your stepfather to death. After all, animals can sometimes revert to their wild nature; it's possible,” Mr. Su Yue suggested a plan for Miss Sven.

“Alright, I'll do as you say!” Miss Sven trembled as she left the room.

Wang Linlin saw that Miss Sven was not in a good state and followed her. Mr. Su Yue sat on the sofa, patiently waiting for Wang Linlin's return.

To be honest, the death of his stepfather, Ricdo, was inextricably linked to Mr. Su Yue, but Mr. Su Yue felt no guilt about it.

“You're out? Isher Miss Sven alright?” Seeing Wang Linlin walk out of the room, Mr. Su Yue quickly got up and asked.

“She's fine, she's already asleep. We can go back now.” Wang Linlin's mind was full of the doubts she had just had, not understanding how Mr. Su Yue had seen the truth.

“Do you want to ask me but are too embarrassed?” Mr. Su Yue saw through her thoughts and teased with a smile.

“You know everything, and you're deliberately not saying anything.” Wang Linlin looked at Mr. Su Yue coquettishly, not expecting this usually imposing swindler to have such a childish side.

“It's actually very simple,” Mr. Su Yue began to explain in detail to Wang Linlin.

“When Miss Sven was talking about Miss Svea, she mentioned a very crucial detail. Can you guess what it was?” Mr. Su Yue asked Wang Linlin.

“Was it the whistling sound?” Wang Linlin had been bothered by this.

“No, but the whistling sound Isher also an important clue,” Mr. Su Yue nodded approvingly.

“Then what was it?” Wang Linlin became even more curious.

“It was the cigar smoke! Do you remember Miss Sven saying that Miss Svea had gone to her room the night of the incident? She smelled cigar smoke at that time,” Mr. Su Yue reminded her.

“Oh, yes, that's right. But what does that have to do with the case?” Wang Linlin fell into thought.

“At that time, I felt there was something wrong between the two of them,” Mr. Su Yue thought to himself, pleased with Wang Linlin's surprised expression.

“Then how did you discover that the bedside table was a mechanism?” Wang Linlin held Mr. Su Yue's arm, her eyes full of admiration.

“You also said the bedside was nailed shut. He wanted the cheetah to attack before everyone could react,” Mr. Su Yue explained.

“But Svea's death wasn't caused by the cheetah!” Wang Linlin suddenly felt confused.

“Of course, if it were really bitten to death by a cheetah, it wouldn't have been listed as an n-shaped file at the time,” Mr. Su Yue said.

“Then why did the cheetah bite the stepfather to death last night?” Wang Linlin continued to press.

“I opened the cheetah's muzzle,” Mr. Su Yue admitted, and took out the hidden evidence, handing it to Wang Linlin.

“Why are you giving it to me?” Wang Linlin didn't expect Mr. Su Yue to do such a thing; she had almost collapsed on the ground from fright at the time.

“This Isher the first case we solved together; it's worth celebrating.” Wang Linlin smiled and took the evidence, saying she would cherish it.

Afterwards, Mr. Su Yue and Wang Linlin returned to the hotel. The next day, they went to Miss Sven's home as usual. Miss Sven had indeed handled the matter properly according to Mr. Su Yue's suggestion.

“Then should we wish you a happy wedding in advance?” Mr. Su Yue said to Miss Sven with a smile.

“Honestly, Mr. Cui, I really hope you and Ms. Zheng Qi can attend my wedding!” Miss Sven responded enthusiastically.

“I am honored. However, could I use the restroom on your estate?” Mr. Su Yue asked somewhat sheepishly.

“Of course, no problem. It's just ahead, turn left,” Miss Sven pointed the way enthusiastically. After thanking her, Mr. Su Yue turned and went to the restroom.

Wang Linlin and Miss Sven sat down and talked about the wedding details. Miss Sven seemed very happy, ordered the servant to bring coffee, and talked with Wang Linlin more and more congenially.

“Why hasn't Mr. Cui come out yet?” Miss Sven noticed Wang Linlin's anxiety and asked for her.

The servant who had been infatuated with Mr. Su Yue before quickly replied, “Mr. Su Yue has already left.”

“What? How Isher that possible? This can't be true!” Wang Linlin stood up abruptly, looking at the servant in disbelief.

She decided to go find him herself, so she pushed past the servant and walked directly to the restroom Mr. Su Yue had gone to. Opening the door, she saw that it was indeed empty.

“What on earth Isher going on?” Wang Linlin sat on the sofa, carefully recalling every moment she had spent with Mr. Su Yue, trying to find anything unusual or any oversight on her part.

However, Mr. Su Yue had always acted normally, hadn't he?

Wang Linlin racked her brain but couldn't figure it out. Had they been exposed? She pounded her head, still not understanding where the problem was, and kept sighing.

“Miss, this was left by Mr. Su Yue; he said it was for you. We haven't opened it,” the servant handed over a mobile phone. Wang Linlin took the phone, said goodbye to Miss Sven, and left.

Wang Linlin held the phone and walked out of the room to meet up with Lyon and others.

“What on earth Isher going on? Why did Mr. Su Yue just leave like that? I was guarding the door the whole time!” Lyon's face was full of shock. He had thought the plan was perfect, but he didn't expect such a change.

“I don't know either; Mr. Su Yue just left without saying goodbye.” Wang Linlin's face was pale and full of disappointment. “But he left me a phone; let's look at it together.”

On the phone screen, Mr. Su Yue's figure appeared, and the background was surprisingly Wang Linlin's home. He smiled at the camera and said, “Hi, Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect your imitation of Sweetie to be so lifelike; I almost didn't recognize you.”

“As for your plan, how should I put it? It's not bad, but it's just not bad,” a hint of playfulness was revealed in Mr. Su Yue's smile.

“You can't imitate Wang Linlin; she Isher resilient and will never rely on others when facing danger. You haven't seen her despair in the big fire. After that time, she has a deeper understanding of danger and will never show weakness easily again,” Mr. Su Yue seemed to have anticipated that Xiao Xiao would play Wang Linlin.

Xiao Xiao paused the video, thought for a moment, and then said, “No, he might have known from the beginning.”

Lyon was incredulous: “How Isher that possible? At that time, he clearly…”

“Clearly everything seemed normal, and he even went back to the Central Intelligence Agency with us, right? Actually, Mr. Su Yue had already started to suspect at that time!” Xiao Xiao said with a bitter smile, realizing that the stolen time she thought she had was actually all Mr. Su Yue acting.

Those days, looking back now, cannot become beautiful memories at all.

Lyon looked at Xiao Xiao sitting down dejectedly, her eyes empty, and was at a loss for a moment. He had never comforted a girl before, and this famous killer was now at a loss because of a girl's tears.

In the video, Mr. Su Yue smiled and ended the recording.

Lyon called Gao Xiang: “We've been found out, and Mr. Su Yue ran away again!” Gao Xiang on the other end of the phone held the receiver, his eyes vacant and his spirits low, clearly at a loss.

In fact, it wasn't that Mr. Su Yue saw through the plan, but that he was the mastermind behind the plan from the beginning.

From the start, Mr. Su Yue used his identity as a consul at the Chinese Embassy to trap Gao Xiang in a hotel specially arranged by the Chinese Embassy.

From that moment on, Mr. Su Yue had a complete grasp of the entire plan.

As for Wang Linlin, the day Nep and the others issued the execution notice, Mr. Su Yue disguised himself as Fells and infiltrated Deng Liduō's home, while Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to take Wang Linlin away. What made Mr. Su Yue realize this was Wang Linlin's love for him.

Whenever Mr. Su Yue went out at night, Wang Linlin would know and always wait for him to return, light a calming incense for his room, and place a cup of warm milk on the cabinet.

Therefore, Mr. Su Yue would control the time he spent out each time to avoid making Wang Linlin wait too late. But when he returned that day, there was no calming incense and no warm milk, so Mr. Su Yue realized something was wrong and returned to the Central Intelligence Agency to rescue Wang Linlin.

Until now, they haven't discovered that Mr. Su Yue had disguised himself as Isher and taken Wang Linlin away…

This was not just an intellectual crushing, but a full display of ability.

And Gao Xiang, Lyon, and the others were still immersed in the frustration of the failed plan. Sometimes Mr. Su Yue even felt as if he was bullying children; they were always unhappy because of failure.

Mr. Su Yue had long learned to accept all criticism and blame calmly, but it was clear that they had not reached this level yet.

Wang Linlin was safely sent to Zheng Ziye by Mr. Su Yue, who instructed her to get plenty of rest.

All of this was under Mr. Su Yue's control.

Initially, Mr. Su Yue spoke to Gao Xiang as Liu Yu, the consul at the Chinese Embassy:

“Hello, I am Liu Yu, the consul at the Chinese Embassy.”

“Hello, I am Gao Xiang from the China Special Task Force.”

“Due to significant international public opinion pressure, I have some requests for you now.”

Gao Xiang had a significant strength, but from another perspective, this strength became a weakness—he was too obedient to his teachers and very rigid. When he was told to memorize the legal code in three months, he actually did it. If it were Mr. Su Yue, he would never do that.

“Okay, then I can just self-isolate where I am now, right?” Gao Xiang didn't suspect anything.

“No, you come to our Chinese Embassy hotel,” Liu Yu (actually Mr. Su Yue) said. Mr. Su Yue not only deceived everyone at the Chinese Embassy into thinking he was Liu Yu but also began to scheme against Gao Xiang.

When the entire Central Intelligence Agency was dispatched, leaving only Lyon, Mr. Su Yue gave Lyon a “gift”—a bomb installed in the gun barrel. At the same time, he also gave the Central Intelligence Agency a “gift”—full surveillance.

When Wang Linlin was escorted to the Central Intelligence Agency, Mr. Su Yue found her location through surveillance and then disguised himself as Isher to send her to a safe place. In fact, Mr. Su Yue didn't want to solve the problem this way.

He had been hinting to Xiao Xiao to stop as soon as possible, but Xiao Xiao didn't understand his meaning. After the matter was resolved last night, the thing Mr. Su Yue was holding that was tied to the cheetah was very similar in shape to the thing they used to capture Wang Linlin; this was his first reminder.

The second reminder was when Mr. Su Yue said, “This Isher our first case solved! Let's keep it as a souvenir.” But the detail-oriented Wang Linlin knew that their first case solved was actually when the Captain was making things difficult for them with the n-shaped file.

Moreover, Wang Linlin didn't like to eat steak; she liked to eat dumplings. Xiao Xiao didn't know these details. He thought that as long as he imitated Wang Linlin's appearance well, he wouldn't make mistakes, but they didn't understand that the relationship between Mr. Su Yue and Wang Linlin had always been a mutual attraction.

Perhaps only people who truly care about each other can pay attention to “details” like this.

Using this incident, Mr. Su Yue once again hid in the shadows. Gao Xiang, Xiao Xiao, and Lyon's plan failed again.

Xiao Xiao couldn't stop crying; she was truly sad. She was sad that she couldn't even grasp such a short amount of time, and she began to understand that Mr. Su Yue had suspected her from the beginning, realizing that Wang Linlin was not just a simple follower.

And she herself, Xiao Xiao, seemed to be a complete failure.

“It's okay, Xiao Xiao, we can try again!” On the other end of the phone, Gao Xiang tried to comfort her.

“Again? How can we do it again?” Xiao Xiao asked with a tear-stained face.

After finishing the matters at hand, Mr. Su Yue quietly returned to the residence he had previously purchased, planning to get some good rest there. For a long time, he had been unable to enjoy a peaceful sleep, and at this moment, he finally welcomed a moment of true relaxation.

However, the smoke of war had not completely dissipated; this brief tranquility was merely a respite during the truce.

The next morning, Mr. Su Yue got ready and embarked on a new journey, heading to the battlefield of the next challenge.

Standing in the White House office, he spoke to Tex, the highest leader of the Federal Court: “Mr. Tex, hello, I am here on behalf of Mr. Fells to ask why the news of Mr. Fells as a Presidential Candidate has not yet been announced to the public?”

Tex smiled and replied: “I'm truly sorry, please tell Mr. Fells that due to the impact of the previous incident, we have not yet undergone strict system confirmation, so we cannot rashly announce this result to the public. Otherwise, if a similar situation occurs again, all of us in politics will likely be held responsible.”

Mr. Su Yue nodded in understanding: “Understood, I will convey that.” Then, he turned and left the Federal Court. As Fells's Secretary, he had to be considerate of his Boss.

Returning to Fells's side, Mr. Su Yue maintained the humility expected of a Secretary: “Boss, should we disseminate the news ourselves?”

Fells pondered for a moment and then shook his head: “No, disseminating it ourselves will damage our national credibility. If the public Isher skeptical of this, it will be extremely detrimental to my future work.” He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “However, we can use the website to initiate a vote, which will not only help us understand our main user base but also clarify the targets we need to win over.”

Although Mr. Su Yue did not look up, he thought to himself: The Boss finally thought of this; no wonder the Federal Court has been slow to announce the Presidential Candidate list. He responded, “Okay, I'll go do it right away.”
