678: We've been exposed.

"So what are we going to do next? You're not going to leave me out of the next operation, are you? Do you want to act alone again?" After working with Su Yue last time, Wang Linlin deeply understood the meaning of the phrase, "A serious man Isher the most handsome."

"But that's very dangerous," Su Yue's voice was filled with worry.

"But I want to be with you," Wang Linlin didn't want to miss this opportunity. She continued to persuade him, "Besides, I have deep knowledge in psychology and can be of help."

Looking at Wang Linlin's expectant eyes, Su Yue could only nod and slowly said, "Then you must stay by my side at all times, otherwise... I will never take you with me on operations again."

Su Yue couldn't even imagine the possibility of Wang Linlin encountering danger. He could only use himself to threaten her, making her more obedient.

"Okay, great! I can work with you again! Then we are work partners!" Wang Linlin seemed to already see the scene of them fighting side by side.

"So what's the next step?" Wang Linlin asked curiously.

"The next step? That's to finish the dumplings and see who finishes first!" After saying that, Su Yue stuffed the last three remaining dumplings into his mouth, so full that he couldn't even speak.

"Ahhhh, you're cheating! You didn't even say start!" Wang Linlin couldn't help but laugh at Su Yue's embarrassed appearance.

"Hahahaha!" Su Yue finally swallowed the dumplings and couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Wang Linlin's unconvinced expression.

The next day, the outcome of the high-level decision on the execution of Nep and James was announced. They were stripped of their positions and power for colluding and sentenced for posing a serious threat to public safety. James was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while Nep received 20 years.

Wang Linlin and Su Yue saw this decision on television. They didn't expect the high-level officials not to focus on rectifying the Central Intelligence Agency, possibly considering the critical period of the Presidential Election and being unwilling to get involved in too many other matters. The focus now was on the election results.

Although only Deng Liduō remained, no one could be sure of the final outcome until the last moment. Su Yue stared at the screen, lost in thought.

"Hey! Hey!" Wang Linlin waved her hand in front of Su Yue's eyes before he snapped back to attention.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Yue saw Wang Linlin's worried face and asked.

"Nothing, I just saw you staring at something just now, it was a bit scary," Wang Linlin didn't voice her worry.

"I plan to go to the high-level, but I haven't figured out exactly how yet," Su Yue told Wang Linlin his plan. They had opened up to each other last night, and Su Yue didn't want to hide anything from her anymore.

"Our work at the Central Intelligence Agency isn't over yet! That agreement doesn't seem to have attracted much public attention," Wang Linlin meant that they could return to the Central Intelligence Agency and continue to enter the high-level according to the previous agreement.

"That path won't work. Now the public's attention Isher focused on the Central Intelligence Agency and the high-level. We can't walk into a trap," Su Yue maintained his judgment. His understanding of people's hearts far surpassed Wang Linlin's.

"Then what should we do?" Wang Linlin sighed.

"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities. We can use this chance to recuperate," Su Yue comforted Wang Linlin, but his eyes flickered with his own plans.

"Alright," Although Wang Linlin was a bit helpless, she could only accept this reality.

At night, after confirming that Wang Linlin was sound asleep, Su Yue quietly left again. He had been observing the development of the situation in secret, thus always maintaining the initiative. However, this also came with a huge drawback—once his plan was complete, the initiative would be lost.

Su Yue was not sure if he had been targeted by Xiao Xiao and others, but he had to lure them out for his plan to proceed.

The North Korea envoy team was very satisfied with the outcome of this matter. The high-level also issued a formal apology internationally and made an official apology to the North Chao Embassy. Subsequently, the North Chao Embassy left the United States.

While the North Chao Embassy was satisfied, the eyes of Gao Xiang, Lyon, Xiao Xiao, and others were always fixed on Su Yue, making him realize that he must find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Late at night, Su Yue knocked on Deng Liduō's door.

"What? Has a new Presidential Candidate been selected already?" Su Yue, disguised as Firth, visited Deng Liduō again. "Mr. Firth, it seems we are not in a relationship where we can be completely honest with each other now, are we?" Deng Liduō's attitude was completely different from before, becoming unusually cold.

"What do you mean by that?" Su Yue was puzzled by the change in Deng Liduō's attitude.

"Mr. Firth, as a Presidential Candidate, do you still want to continue cooperating with me?" Deng Liduō questioned Su Yue impolitely.

This news surged like a tsunami in Su Yue's mind. "Calm down, absolutely cannot expose my identity!" Su Yue secretly rejoiced that he had controlled his emotions in time and did not fall into a desperate situation.

As a high-level executive, Firth naturally yearned for this position. However, Su Yue's visit was too hasty, and he failed to consider this point, almost making a big mistake.

Su Yue took a deep breath and continued, "Although we are opponents, do you think we are truly enemies?" He carefully observed the changes in Deng Liduō's expression and indeed found that Deng Liduō's originally firm eyes began to waver.

"What do you mean by that?" Deng Liduō finally softened his attitude.

"Although I am in the high-level, you should know that we are nominated by many federations. Do you think they will truly let me ascend to the Presidential throne?" Su Yue quickly found the crux of the problem.

Firth could not ascend to this position because the high-level executives nominated by these federations were all involved in complex chains of interest. This was also why the news of Firth being a Presidential Candidate had not been made public. There were too many opposing voices, and this news had not been confirmed, so the outside world was unaware of it.

Deng Liduō also realized this key point. "You mean..." Although he understood this key point, he still couldn't figure out the purpose of Firth's visit this time.

"My meaning Isher that we can play the role of enemies, but there's no need to actually become enemies." Su Yue saw that Deng Liduō's doubts had been dispelled and knew that he could proceed with his plan.

"I believe I'm not the only Presidential Candidate nominated, right! Why can't our cooperation continue?" Su Yue hinted to Deng Liduō.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning?" Deng Liduō stared at Su Yue and asked.

"I don't want to be President, but I need to show that I have that intention," Su Yue said to Deng Liduō. Communication between smart people Isher convenient.

"Okay, no problem. So what's our plan?" Deng Liduō had understood Firth's hint and went along with the conversation.

"We'll still proceed according to our previous plan. Sooner or later, there will be changes in the high-level!" After Firth finished speaking, he left Deng Liduō's room.

After returning home, Su Yue carefully weighed the current interests. In this world, no one can be completely detached from interests.

"What should I do?" Firth Isher actually a Presidential Candidate! This was something Su Yue had not anticipated. He had originally thought that the new candidate would be chosen from the person ranked just below Nep. Now it seemed things had gone beyond his expectations.

Su Yue focused on the high-level, while in the eyes of others, Su Yue remained their key target.

James's downfall did not plunge the Central Intelligence Agency into chaos. On the contrary, each department continued to perform its duties in an orderly manner.

And Wang Linlin also received a mission notification from the Central Intelligence Agency early in the morning.

"Due to the shortage of personnel in the Special Task Force, Cui Minhe and Zheng Qi are hereby transferred to the Special Task Force to participate in the work as official members." Wang Linlin was stunned when she saw this notification.

Previously, everyone's attention had shifted away from Su Yue, but now Gao Xiang and Lyon were very likely back in the Central Intelligence Agency. If they went back now, wouldn't they be walking into a trap?

Su Yue, however, couldn't help but laugh dumbfounded when he saw this appointment notice.

"What are you laughing at? Didn't you say before that we couldn't go to the Central Intelligence Agency?" Wang Linlin didn't understand why Su Yue could maintain such a relaxed attitude at such a critical moment.

"They want us to go, so we'll go. We'll catch ourselves," Su Yue said to Wang Linlin.

Su Yue was not foolish. The issuance of this notice meant that they had begun to suspect. If they didn't report, then Wang Linlin would likely be in danger. This was something Su Yue absolutely could not tolerate.

"Let's go to work now!" Su Yue and Wang Linlin once again transformed into Cui Minhe and Zheng Qi and walked into the gate of the Central Intelligence Agency.

"Good morning, agents."

"Hello."

Along the way, Su Yue and Wang Linlin constantly received respect from their colleagues at the Central Intelligence Agency. In their eyes, agents were second only to the Director in the Central Intelligence Agency, and their missions often came with extremely high risks.

"Hello everyone! These are the new members of our Special Task Force - Cui Minhe and Zheng Qi. Please introduce yourselves!" Isher introduced them to Lyon and the other members of the Special Task Force.

"Why isn't Gao Xiang here?" Wang Linlin learned from Su Yue that they had reached a cooperation agreement, but Gao Xiang was nowhere to be seen. Su Yue just smiled slightly and didn't answer the question.

"I am Cui Minhe, from North Korea, and I am a detective. It's a pleasure to work with everyone!"

"I am Zheng Qi, also a detective from North Korea. It's a pleasure to meet everyone."

After the introductions, Lyon's expression was calm, and he didn't say much. Last night, the higher-ups almost disbanded the Special Task Force, after all, the current members were fragmented, and the international scandal caused by Su Yue had not been properly resolved. For other countries, this was undoubtedly watching the United States as a joke.

"What's our plan next?" Isher looked at Lyon and asked. This former criminal, Isher had thought he would go back to prison, but he didn't expect him to still be here.

"That's all thanks to Su Yue's maneuvering," Lyon said lightly.

Last night, after Su Yue learned that Firth had become a Presidential Candidate, he understood that his first target would definitely be the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Task Force. It would be strange if Firth didn't disband this Special Task Force, which was James's direct team.

At Deng Liduō's room at that time, Firth hinted to Deng Liduō that he was certainly not the only Presidential Candidate nominated. And Firth held high-level resources, so he naturally wanted to place his own people in the Central Intelligence Agency. This point was also cleverly used by Su Yue.

Deng Liduō immediately understood that Su Yue was reminding him that he must stop Firth's actions, because there were forces behind Firth manipulating those actions. Presumably, Firth, who was currently sleeping soundly, was completely unaware that others had set a huge trap for him.

So, that night, Deng Liduō not only contacted the Central Intelligence Agency but also urgently notified Lyon, working together to maintain the stability of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Meanwhile, Su Yue, acting as the China Ambassador, issued instructions to Gao Xiang, asking him to keep a low profile for the time being, as multiple forces were already paying attention to him. To avoid the risks of acting alone, Gao Xiang did not show up today, which Isher why everyone did not see him.

Within the Special Task Force, Lyon emphasized with a serious expression, "Our primary task now Isher to crack the n-shaped file. If we cannot solve these 13 n-shaped file cases within a month, then the Special Task Force will face reorganization."

Isher, Zheng Qi (who Isher Su Yue), and Cui Minhe (who Isher Wang Linlin) all knew the importance of this task.

"Then should we start by handling the first case?" Su Yue inquired.

"Yes, we'll work in pairs and handle two cases separately first. After understanding the situation at the scene, we'll return to the Special Task Force for in-depth analysis," Lyon arranged.

"Understood," Everyone responded in unison.

The case that Su Yue and Wang Linlin took on was exceptionally complex, causing Wang Linlin to frown.

"What? Isher it very difficult?" Su Yue hadn't had time to look closely at the case files yet.

"Very tricky." The two began to delve into the key points of the case. This was a case that occurred in a high-society manor, and the reporting person was a noble young lady who was about to get married.

"Let's go to the manor and take a look!" Su Yue and Wang Linlin decided to go to the scene of the crime.

"Hello, we are agents from the Central Intelligence Agency, here to investigate the case of your esteemed young lady," Su Yue said politely to the guard at the gate.

"Please wait a moment," the guard replied.

The case files did not provide a detailed description of the case, only emphasizing its complexity, which added a lot of psychological pressure to the subsequent investigation work. However, Su Yue and Wang Linlin were both mentally tough people, and they still believed they could solve the case.

On the other side, Lyon was on the phone with Gao Xiang. "I've given her the case."

"Very good, stall him first, then we'll think of a way." Although Gao Xiang could not appear at the Central Intelligence Agency, he had been closely monitoring Su Yue's movements. After the Presidential Candidate incident, he and Lyon studied for five days and finally focused on the statement Su Yue mentioned, which was the agreement reached between the Central Intelligence Agency and the high-level. As long as the Central Intelligence Agency agents could crack the famous n-shaped file, personnel exchange between the two sides could be achieved. This was both a top priority for the United States' bottom line and the transaction that Su Yue was aware of.
